520			_aGold Lust and Silver Sharks, 1848–1884 moves from the early years when western investors and speculators dominated both the mines and the markets, to the early 1880s, after San Francisco’s mining sharks were driven to New York. The companion volume, Copper Kings and Stock Frenzies, 1885–1918, begins with that watershed and reveals how easterners bought control of most of the large mines to further exploit eastern markets for even bigger profits and losses. At the same time, developing technology opened ever greater deposits of lower-grade ore in the West, and copper became the leading metal as the electrification of the nation drove up demand and prices.
