A Mine That Is a World Beater.
 Here is an advertisement of stock in an Arizona mine. We find it in one of our exchanges. In the original, many of the sentences are displayed in large black type, the whole advertisement; occupying a large space:

We have omitted from this copy of the advertisement the few words which give the location of the alleged property, and the naEle of the com pany, as our only object in referring to the literature is to give lesson in the proper method of mine promotion.
 The honest citizen of Arizona is crude in his method5-his work would be pronounced "coarse" by the enter prisins gentlemen who stand back of the above advertisement. When the aforesaid honest citizen tries to obtain money in the states for a legitimate mining speculation or investment in this terrritory, he should not be 90 foolish as to give investors the prosaic details that are called for in ordinary business transactions.
