Andes-Consolidated Virginia Mining Co. lately bought an old house for $150, last week set unemployed miners to wreck it for firewood. One afternoon a wrecker rushed to the superintendent of the mine carrying a hunk of rock. It was silver ore, assaying $500 a ton. Hastily a small shaft was driven into the ground nearby; mining engineers rushed from San Francisco. The discovery of a "lost bonanza" was confirmed. Once more Virginia City was a boom town.

"Put it in a fire pot. It will run quicksilver." That is one version of the start of a current rush to mine mercury in the Ozarks.
