Summary: "Bob Bowen Comes to Town" by H. Bedford-Jones is a spirited novel that was likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the main character, Bob Bowen, a savvy yet somewhat down-on-his-luck mining entrepreneur, as he navigates the treacherous waters of the mining market in California. This tale delves into the world of mining stocks, deception, and business pursuits, highlighting the endeavors and challenges faced by Bowen as he attempts to sell his low-grade mining properties. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Bob Bowen while he is on a train journey to San Francisco, where he hopes to sell two mining claims. His encounter with a fat, wealthy man named Dickover, a well-known figure in the mining industry, sets off a series of events that bring intrigue and potential opportunity. As Bowen juggles the misconceptions surrounding his business dealings and tries to secure investment for his properties, he ultimately finds himself embroiled in a web of betrayal and deceit surrounding the Apex Crown mine. The opening portion establishes both Bowen's character and the high-stakes world of mining investment, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the complexities that will unfold in the narrative.
