Fact and Fiction —Ali Good ADVENTURE g, a for JULY Did you or any one you know ever buy mining stocks as a result ot -alluzing advertisements? ‘‘My Adventures with Your Money,’’ by George’ Graham Rice, now running in ADVEN TURE, proves to be the magazine sensation of the year. It is an “inside story” of events that touchied ‘every community in the United States. In’ the uke ADVENTURE, Mc. Rice tells of the terrific smash in Gold- : field. ‘securities and the collapse of the Greenwater mining-stock bubble, which cost the public over $300,000,000. A year later there ensued the Rawhide rush, which exceeded in inten- i a sity that to any other gold-mining camp in North America, barring the Klondike only. Mr. Rice, through his publicity measures, was in large egree personally responsible for the stampede which caused 30,000 men to co the desert to Rawhide, and‘ he tells just how modern mining-camp boom- arouse public interest in their schemes. The July story covers a period of two years and the loss of hundreds of millions by the American public. It is probably the most instructive chapter of ““My Adventures with Your Money’’ yet furnished to in- vestors in mining stocks. It brings Mr. Rice's mining-stock activities to Wall Street and furnishés a groundwork for the coming narrative of transactions by Eastern mining-stock promoters of the higher class, in which Western methods appear tame by contrast. **The Road,’’ a romance of American railway building in the Balkans, tae? «=o by Frank Savile, a splendid new serial beginning in the July number, is equally distinguished in its own field.
