This is the story of mining in Lake Valley, New Mexico, a short-lived silver mining boom-town in southern New Mexico roughly between Hillsboro and Deming. It draws from a number of sources compiled by the late Homer E. Milford when he worked for the New Mexico Abandoned Mine Land Bureau in the 1980s and '90s.The Lake Valley story is fairly typical of what happened in many western mining towns, although it is especially dramatic in the magnitude of "wheeling and dealing", coupled with numerous coloful characters, an especially rich deposit of silver, and a series of comtemporary photographs and documents, that all together present an extraordinary tale of the West.It is dangerous as well as libelous to accuse someone of dishonesty if you cannot prove it, even a hundred years after his or her death. George D. Roberts and J. Whitaker Wright, the promoters of the Lake Valley mines from 1881 to late 1883, started their venture with the intent to sell what they thought was a small silver deposit for dozens of times its real mining value. Roberts and Wright had successful careers buying deposits or mines and then forming mining companies to sell stock to the public at inflated prices. By manipulating the news their mine managers gave the press, they could raise and lower the stock prices numerous times making a profit in both directions. They knew that eventually each company would be considered worthless and anticipated that event by selling their stock before this occurred. Roberts generally had one or more new companies underdevelopment to replace the companies that got discredited. I have tried to avoid using derogatory terms to describe Roberts and Wright. Every derogatory term I know, and some I did not know were applied to Roberts in the press almost 120 years ago. These ranged from mild ones like "dishonest" to "his Satanic Majesty." Roberts was never convicted of stock fraud, but Wright was in 1904. With the exception of quotes from the press, mild terms are used for these men in this history. This is not because I think they were mhonest or had anything but the worst of intentions, but because I admire the skill they demonstratedin what was then and now illegal. These men made at least one positive contribution to mining. The mills they built to impress the public, to entice them into buying stock, were often later used by honest miners. This was an inadvertent contribution to the development of mining in North America, Australia and Africa.

This guide focuses on materials that are readily available to historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and researchers. Resources that assist in locating not-so-easily accessible materials are also covered. Special sections focus on the legal resources of colonial New York City and Washington, DC—which is still technically in its prestatehood stage. Due to the enormity of this project, the editor of Prestatehood Legal Materials created a Web page where updates, corrections, additions and more will be posted.

When readers see the names Mark Twain and Dan De Quille, fake news may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But these legendary journalists were some of the original, and most prolific, fake news writers in the early years of Nevada’s history. Frontier Fake News puts a spotlight on the hoaxes, feuds, pranks, outright lies, witty writing, and other literary devices utilized by a number of the Silver State’s frontier newsmen from the mid-nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries. Often known collectively as the Sagebrush School, these journalists were opinionated, talented, and individualistic. While Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), who got his start at Virginia City’s Territorial Enterprise, and Dan De Quille (William Wright), who some felt was a better writer than Twain, are the most well-known members of the Sagebrush School, author Richard Moreno includes others such as Fred Hart, who concocted a fake social club and reported on its gatherings for Austin’s Reese River Reveille, and William Forbes, who enjoyed sprinkling clever puns with political undertones in his newspaper articles. Moreno traces the beginnings of genuine fake news from founding father Benjamin Franklin’s “Supplement to the Boston Independent Chronicle, Number 705, March 1782,” a fake newspaper aimed at swaying British public opinion, to the fake news articles of New York and Baltimore papers in the early 1800s. But these examples are only a prelude to the amazing accounts of petrified men, freeze-inducing solar armor, magically magnetic rocks, blood-curdling massacres, and other nonsense stories that appeared in Nevada’s frontier newspapers and beyond.
