Mining Colony Planned in Venezuela by Edward McFarlan
Edward McFarlan, founder of Telluride, Colorado, travels to Denver to form a mining colony in disputed Venezuelan territory. He cites vast gold finds in northern South America and warns adventurers face deadly epidemics and six hour to month life spans. He notes three men washed 370 pounds of gold in three weeks and calls for desolate camp provisions and risk. The piece also mentions federal anti trust actions against Chicago beef packers and an Interior Department inquiry on cutting gold fields from the San Carlos reservation, with views on coal fields and regional value.
