This has been proved by an examination
OF glass ornaments which have been dis

EMPIRE AND MINERAL CITIES.

2Re WUy mo traps JOT ONCNoTS uTe cess
"Mineral City" Grayson county,
Texas, settlement which exists on pa.
per alone, in illuminant water colors,
with headquarters at No. 2S6 Vine street,
demands some attention. 1t savors too
much Of "Empire City," Brown county,
Texas, odor, OF which the following is a
brief description, taken from the United
States Census Reports:
"These lands are volcanic, worthless,
and without fuel, soil or vegetation. AS
sessed tor taxation, real and personal
- blank"
As the STAR has always. had the inter-
est Of the people in view in dealing with
new enterprises, and always disposed to
encourage those which were for the gen.
uine interest of the masses, reporter
was sent out with instructions to get
more light, If possible, as to the true in.
wardness of these cities of spontaneous
growth. He presented himself to the
manager Of the Vine-street bonanza and
respectfully solicited such information
as any sensible person would naturally
desire before investing even nickle.
He ascertained the following, which is
given for the benefit of the public: "Min-
eral City" has an existence but in name
that Mr.. Hosmer is apparently re-
sponsible for its origin. SAID manager
was either unable or unwilling to show
any abstract of title to lands upon which
said city is TO be located. Phat he was
not then supplied even with blank deeds
| to accommodate the seekers OF "some-
thing Tor nothing" although keenly
eager to accept all money rendered.
| That further, he was unable or undis.
posed to name the stockholders In the
said s'Mineral City Company" That he
would give no references as to himself
either here or elsewhere.
He couldn't tell as to the cost Of re-
cording deeds. He said that the few
acres upon which the prospective city
was to be located belonged { in fractions J
to different parties scattered through
Texas, Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio,
and that any person accepting these lib
eraI donations OF town lots would have
to wait for the transmission of these
deeds from the owners of the land on
which they might happen to locate. Man.
ager Hosmer volunteered the informa-
tion that he was arranging for the es-
tablishment of "branch 0fiic0s" in other
cities, and that il he met with good sue
cess here that the "alternate lots" would
he put on sale elsewhere.
Here is briei outline of the manner
in which these inflated paper citiesare
manufactured, from whicn the public can
Judge of the propriety Of Investment.

sesses himself (or claims toy of tract

possible number of lots. They offer as
a present to gullible suckers the alter
nate lots OF the new "city." Said man.
ayers then open offices in various cities
for the disposal of said lots, charging
only, as they claim, the fee Of the notary
public (4O cents or 81, according to cir
cumstances).
The person accepting lot or lots
must have the same recorded, and the
managers, having an understanding with
the Recorder for liberal percentage on
all records made. which percentage foots
up a handsome sum as profit of several
thousand dollars per acre for lands that
could not be given away, if known what
they are.
There has been too much Of this fraud,
and it would be safe for all those who
have been deluded into the notion of
investing money in the expectation of be.
coming owner Of a "town lot free," to
pause and consider.
