Adventure, Vol. 2, No. 5 (September 1911)

This issue contains a mix of adventure fiction and practical investment articles. The lead feature is the sixth installment of George Graham Rice's ongoing series "My Adventures with Your Money," which examines stock promotion and the mining industry. The featured installment, "Rawhide and Wall Street—The Press-Agent and the Public's Money," details Rice's involvement in promoting the Rawhide mining camp in Nevada during the 1907 financial panic, the geological richness of its claims, and the formation of the Rawhide Coalition Mines Company to capitalize on public speculation. Additional content includes fiction such as "Jose Bobo, Cheerful Villain" by John A. Avirette and "Red Mist" by Winifred Lee Wendell, articles on life-saving and shipwrecks, and serialized narratives. The issue maintains Adventure's characteristic blend of action fiction and factual reportage on adventuring and commerce.
