SAN Francisco, Aug. 14.-About three
weeks ago circular was issued by q
party signing himself ]. b. F. Lewis,
calling attention to certain coal depos-
its in the vicinity Of Seattle, which we're
stated to be in the hands of capitalists
for final transfer. and they we're to be
worked on the joint stock principle.
Those DESTROYS of investing were invited
to correspond with the above individual
by addressing their correspondence to
the poeto(nce hero. The absence of an
once or even letter box to which the
oOrrespoode0es was 70 BE- addressed,
gave ria 20 suspicion that the Aforesaid
LsWis was doing busiuess in O somewhat
delicate manner. A decoy leetsr was
mailed BY gentleman requesting Lew
u to meet the author at the Merchants
Exchange at certain hour, for the
purpose Of gaining information about
the extent and exact location of the al
legged coal deposits represented or own
cd by him. PunctualIy at the hour ap-
pointed the parties INST. Lewis. Who
clAiiuod to be resident Of New York,
but very recently Of Seattle, gave q
glowing description of the country, and
assuring his auditor that the location
represented by him had millions in il,
aud produced letter from another
party, Who he said was editor Of the Sc
| attic Baliefis. When the gentleman
who had made the appointment in
quired II he was not mistaken about the
name of the newspaper he referred TO,
be answered quickly, "Oh, no. quite
frequently write for it; in fact write
Tor most OF all the northern papers, of
and MOT ooorss." Resnmina the thread
| OF his dieoourse, Lewis told q number
OF Other impossible stories, and vhsn
askod for differences, grew quite indi0
nant aud started 70 %. Returning, be
more ooOlly added that his knowledge
Of the country vas extremely limited,
and he was merely advertising certain
properties owned by Q friend, and that
b would leave for The ease on the fol-
lowing day. Il appears that LeWis has
made several attempts 70 induce unsr-
chants 10 consider his proposition. but
without suceess.
