Stealing Gold From the Mines at Goldfield

The piece also portrays Goldfield as a booming, hopeful camp with many newly rich yet warns against promoter schemes exploiting the town’s prosperity. It cites wage theft, ore values, and stock market gains across Goldfield companies from early October to early November.
