As long as many thousands chose to invest, the high- pressure system continued.
152 THE STORY OF THE MINE.
Keports from the San Francisco boards were bul- letined in Virginia City as soon as received in times when stocks were rushing upward like auroras or fall- ing like rocket sticks. Everybody ran to see them flour-dusted bakers, blacksmiths with sledge hammers, white-aproned butchers, bare-headed clerks, miners on the way to the shafts, a teamster " thrusting his black- snake under the housi...ng of his saddle mule" all hurrying to the bulletin boards to see their fates. The streets became blocked so that the police had to clear a passage, and the town quivered with joy or sorrow with each change in the figures. Sometimes a long- drawn sigh, mysterious, universal, sought expression as values slipped away down to the depths.
As for the successful mining operator, time was when he was the most aggressive and scintillant figure in the social and business worlds of the Pacific coast. Such men as " Jim Keene, " Bill " Lent, " Johnny Skae, General Gashwiler, and others still remembered on Pine Street, were men who in their time knew every curve and twist of the Comstock market.
