We trust that the day has gone by

that it is an expression of the growing
hostility to the corrupt use of money
in this state.

THE WILDCAT TOWNSHIP

One of the mosta nefarious forms OF
validating that has been INDUCED IL
in Nevada. during the year now clos
ing is that of town-siting where there
10 nothing in the world to form a ba'
STA for selling lots. In place OF genu
inc merit the pessessoro of the tswnsite
has become rich over1 night, because
here was some re ason why they should
be a demand for their ground.
Most. of the desert eountrysa as 1t now
stands is almost valueless unless there
is great mineral wealth Immediately
surrounding it. However, many swind-
ling promoters, netting the fortunes
made by those who were fortunate
enough to own the TOWNSHIP nearq real
,bonanaas, have FASTENED to plat ground
here and there and put it on the market
as desirable townsite roperty. There
was NO mineral showing of any mo-
,nent around them there was nothing
on earth which would serve rs . le-
gitimate reason for exhibiting a blue
,rint marked of into blocks and lots;
there was nothing but 3 desire to swim
die back of the Inducements they held
out, to.the public to, buy their ground.
The townsite wildcat is just as fraud
,lent, as the wildcat mine. Both ar,
harmful to the state, and their promo
tiers should be ~ostracised and driven
from the state whenever possible'-Re'
