Show WINFORD BUNCE #1 pretty good. JD: Right. WB: But you had to show all of them how tn operate a counter because they just didn't have any idea. JD: What were some of the comments? Did they say how easy it was after they bought it, or they were going to go out and make a million? What were some of the comments you heard from some of the people buying this stuff? WB: We didn't have too much comment about the counters, but the main comments were how they were staking, and how they were going to get rich. JD: They really thought they were going to make it? WB : One 1 i t t 1 e kid come in there one day and he said , "Man , I'm staking claims up here at the head of the valley." Told me about where he was. And I said, "Well, now, you better be careful in that area, 'cause there's a school section right in there. I don't know exactly where the corners are," I said, "but you can't stake where a school secti0n is, you know." And he said, "Well, I don't care. I'm just staking these claims, and I'm going to get a hundred dollars a piece for them, and I don't care whether they're on a school section or not." I don't know whether he got his hundred for them or not. JD: Did a lot of people just come in to stake for the money and sell it over, rather than mine them? 33 |
