ANOTHER MINING swIND1E.
A Boston Lady Held Up For Large
Sum-

Denver, Colo, Dec 2.-The Republi-
can today. publishes the following dis
patch from Cripple Creek in regard to
the Fortune Gold Mining company, the
promoters of which are accused by
wealthy Boston lady of having swim
died her out of large sum OF money:
The Fortune Gold Mining company,
ostensibly OF Cripple Creek, but in re-
atty of Boston, owns undisputed right
to three claims located in the granite
somewhere south few miles from
Cripple Creek district There is very
little probability that the title of the
company to the property Will ever be
brought into dispute. 1t is to recover
$685. 900 paid for stock in this company
that Mrs. Julia D. French, a wealthy
society woman of the Back Bay district
of Boston, has caused the arrest of S.
Hamilton Guyot, Francis Appleton and
William Bereh Abbott, also of that city
The prospectus of the Fortune COM
pany is one of the most glowing that
has ever appeared in Cripple Creek
from the far-aWay east.
In it the purchaser of stock, which
is offered for sale at 80 cents a share,
is led to believe the claim owned by
the company is among the most val
liable in the heart of the Cripple Creek
district
The people of Boston have suffered
heavily from companies of this class,
formed by their own people, and the
parties arrested, who are directors of
the Fortune company, have a number
of similar claims located in similarly
PARKWAY hills adjacent to the Cripple
Creek district

BANK FOR MERcUR.
Mccormick to Establish One In This
Progressive Mining Camp.

Word was given out yesterday that
". s. Mccormick, the well known and
successful banker of this city, had de-
cided to open a banking establishment
at Mercur and that with this purpose
in view he had purchased of r. Il.
Airs the building at Mercur formerly
occupied by the defunct First Bank of
Mercur.
Mercur has long needed banking ia
cilities and the lack of such convent
ences has been hindrance to the bust
ness interests of the camp, and the
people of that place are to be congratu-
lated over the fact that an institution
of this character is to be established in
their midst by gentleman with rep
utation such as Mr.. Mccormick has &C
CURED in business and financial cir
cles.
1t is understood that Frank Kimball
and his son Frank will have charge of
the Mercur institution, and under their
supervision the establishment will at
once ingratiate itself into the conf
dence of the inhabitants and business
men of the place.

Stocks On the Curb.

Yesterday WAS another active day on
the curb and prices were generally well
maintained, buyers being largely rep
resented by some of the best known
business men OF the city, and the fact
that they are beginning to buy heavily
is a good omen. as they generally go in
to win, and their lead may be followed
with comparative safety, as when this
class of investors appear in the field
they generally operate on pointers from
the inside.
Mercur was in good demand on the
streets yesterday afternoon and sales
were reported at $S.15. Bullion-Be
was also favorite and small blocks of
the stock made transfers at from $5.75
to $3.50, with offerings at the close at
$6.25. No let-up was noticeable in
Chloride Point and repeated sales were
reported at As cents, the morning quo
tation on the board. There was also
continued demand for Northern Light
and quite a number of transfers were
made during the day on the books of
the company, it being understood that
the stock was ready seller at So cents.
Swansea was very firm at 81. 40 in the
bidding with no sellers to be found at
this figure, While South Swansea was
