Front page article with two drawings. "Mass of Sulphured and Chloride Ores." "The Heart of the Comstock." "Crystallized Ore that is Almost Pure Silver." "Shining Like a Casket of Black Diamonds." All of this sounds great, but three days later on January 8th the Silver Stock Market would collapse! In 24 hours the Con Virginia would lose $30 a share, California $70, and Ophir $40.
