The Washoo Wildcat TRAVELLING n
EuPOpe!,

The Washoe Wildcat Travelling In
Europe!.
We are living in a very sharp" age
that is, provided we happen to be in the
right locality. Washoe for some years
past has been considered by a good many
people to be a remarkably wide.awake
country. Some outsiders have even gone
so far as to say that what the Washoeites
did Mt know it was useless to 90 anywhere
else to try to learn. We are beginning to
believe it. We are led to this conclusion
from facts which have come to our knowl-
edge within a few months past that Washoe
can bamboozle the whole world, lift wishes
to. Late events have sranspired which go
to show that in addition to our generally
conceded enterprising population, we also
have in this State some Of the most I'M
scrupulous scoundrels that go unhung-
and that they are perpetrating swindles
upon communities abroad which will tend
to the great inancia! injury of u State
and our people generally. We allude to
the thieving schemes of selling wildcat
mining stocks in the Eastern cities and
Europe for bona tide silver mines. We
have heretofore exposed several of these
swlndles, which have been perpetrated in
New York and Boston, and now we have
evidence Of q number more which have
been carried on in the city Of London. Yes
terday afternoon, an English gentleman
rushed into our sanctum with a copy Of
the London Standard, Of June 30th, con-
tanning no less than three advertisements,
of which he desired w should make
special mention, and expose to the public.
as the latest wildcat swindles. We
really do not know that we can do the
subject better justice than to give all three
Of the London advertisements a gratuitous
insertion in this column-pronouncing
them wildcat swindles of the first order.
Who the persons are out at Reese River
who are connected with these cheats Of
course we do not know, but if we can
find them out, their names will 90 before
the public. The names of the thieving
brokers in London appear in the adver.
tisements. To appreciate the bare-faced
swindle, the advertisements must be read.
We copy rsrbasim from the London
Standard:
