Excerpt from Placer Mining for Gold in California The increase in the price of gold from in 1932 to in 1933 and to in 1934 made such stories seem even more plausible and helped further to stimulate the migration of men to the creeks, despite the unfortunate experiences related by most of those drifting back from the gold-bearing areas. Stories of those who succeeded in making a living and of the very few who made strikes continued to be magnified out of all proportion, both in passing from mouth to mouth and in the press, and brought new recruits to the streams as late as 1937. It is obvious to those versed in gold mining that the facts are greatly exaggerated in these stories. To the hard-pressed unemployed, however, these accounts sounded like the answer to their need. How could they know that for every one who made a strike in placer mining, tens of thousands would find little or nothing, that not more than a few score at most could possibly expect to develop a profitable lode mine, and that large amounts of capital would be required for most of these mines? The experience of the thousands who are unsuccessful in placer ing does not make news; the story of the man here and there who is lucky does. Most of the accounts were stories of success, stories which were news but which were misleading to the unemployed.
