Gated by Cortez, They Said.

DENVER. Col, Aug 6.-Taking the
testimony at the trial of the nine men
indicted in the Lost Bullion Spanish
Mines Company case, which began yes
terday, was continued today.
The Lost Bullion Spanish Mines Com
pany has been in existence since Octo-
ber 4, 1906, when the promoters placed
organization stock on the market. Their
claims to the public were that a mine,
of fabulous richness, near Silver City,
N. NJ, which was worked by the Span
iards under Cortez in 1900, had been
sealed up by the Spaniards when they
were driven away by the Indians, and
had never been relocated until 1906.
Interesting literature was sent all
over the country by promoters, and
they are said to have reaped a harvest
of fully $4,000 from the working peo-
pie of the country.
