Arizona, 1880s

Dundee Evening Telegraph, Tuesday 26th February 1889.
Arizona's "Queen Midas."

Arizona has a "Queen Midas" as well as Australia. Her name - one of good omen - is Miss Cashman. She pushes out to the newest camps; gives her judgment upon the probabilities of the various mines; backs her judgment with her money, and is seldom mistaken. The miners are superstitious, and believe that Miss Cashman brings them luck, and they are willing to give her a share of any mine which she approves, knowing that its price will be at once advanced by her indorsement.
