Summary:

February 1898-May 1905, continued as The Anglo-American and Mexican Mining Guide and General Financier, June 1905-August 1912: Originally aimed at British investors interested in gold mining in Colorado, The Anglo-Colorado Mining and Milling Guide later expanded its remit to include oil, real estate, and financial and other investments, as well as other Western mining states and Mexico. It also ran an information service for subscribers for a small fee. Subscribers could read articles about mining companies, railways, tunnels---Pike's peak tunnel, for instance---the price of mining stocks, details of shares, and capital of mining and other associated companies. The microfilm guide points out that there had been "much unsound speculation in American shares in mines, railways et cetera" during this period, hence the prominent tagline: "Not an organ of any Company or Syndicate (British or American) and can be relied upon as an Independent Guide."
