This edict has been sent forth by the
nevada publicity committee and that
committee intends to Immediately
Degn a vigorous campaign for the
purpose of driving all fake mining
companies from the state as soon as

enterprises of merit may not be
blackened by the evil doings and the
robbing schemes of mining companies
which exist only on paper, and which
are promoted by men who would do
nearly anything for money.

fake mining schemes as they not only

mining companies and prosecuting
the men promoting them that the Ne
vada Publicity committee has taken
the matter up.

legitimate companies in the state of
Nevada. together with the number of
claims owned by each company, the
names of the claims and their loca-

of the officers and directors and the
amount of the capitalization.

public can draw it's own conclusions.

men in Nevada and California in re-

way we will be able to rid the state
