was invented by a Boston mining stock
swindler makes the facts in this as
founding case all the more impressive
for them. The publisher of legiti-
mate mining camp newspaper is not
apt to regard as joke the invention
of camp name to be used as the cover
for fake mining stock dodger.
The Record asked the Inter Trust
Security company, of Boston, to tell
what it knew about the fake camp of
"Hallis," and the so-called weekly
Messenger "the only paper on the
Salmon river" which has been repre-
sented as the democratic organ of the
fake town. Thus far that ontfit has
not replied. Inasmuch as the stocks
f1oated by the Inter Trust Security
company and its officers, appear to
have derived the on y benefit possible
from the fake "Weekly Messenger
the Record expresses its sentiments
concerning the origin of the swindle by
branding batch of these stocks as
fakes. They will henceforth be carried
in the list of "insipids," properly class
fled. The said companies are:
The Liberty Bell Gold Mining COM
pany.
The Fair Gold Mines company.
The Investors Gold Mines company
The Victoria Gold Mines company
The American Gold Mines company
There is one phase of tins incident
that the Record had not noticed before
namely, the fact that a weekly news
paper known as the Silver Messenger
is published at Challis, Idaho. We
have formerly said that the fake town
of "Hallis'' which we desired to have
located was not to be confused with
the name Challis, because the fake
newspaper bearing the name Weekly
Messenger" repeats the name ".iallis'
so often in its news and advertising
columns that it is impossible to doubt
the dishonest intel ton of its publish
err whoever and wherever the latter
may be
But the discovery that the name Of
Challis has been initiated, also the
name of the Challis Silver Messenger,
leads to the further discovery that GER
tain of the advertisements~i i'll the col
umns of the "Hallis" paper have been
borrowed from the Challis publication,
the letter "Cn being scratched off in
every case where the name of the town
is used.
Thus ends the story of the fake min
ing camp in Idaho, tie town of Hal
lis the thriving metropolis without a
postoffice. The sequel will appear
when the postal inspectors of Boston
are heard from.

Mining Fake Again Exposed.

The Daily Mining Record, published
at Denver, recently exposed an Idaho
mining fake, which, however, still con
tinues to operate and deceive the east
ern investor. In later issue, the
Record says:
The unearthing of the fake mining
camp of "Hallis" in Idaho--a service
performed for the mining interests of
that state by the Record two weeks ago
has attracted a great deal of atten-
tion in the northwest. The Spokane
Chronicle, for example, announces that
it has searched that town for facts
concerning "Hallis," but it has been
unable to locate it. The editor of the
Thunder Mountain News has advised
us that there is no such town in Idaho,
and he ought to know, because the
"Hallis Weekly Messengern-the most
interesting fake newspaper we have
ever seen--pretends that the imaginary
town of "Hallis' belongs to that region,
The Record took little secret de.
light two weeks ago in throwing just
the shadow of doubt over the exist
ence of such a town as "Hallis" be-
cause it wanted some of its coutem.
poraries to go on still hunt for the
town. The fact that they have done SO
and learned that the name "Hallis"
