So far as Denver or the mining men
of Colorado are concerned this business
is one apart. They know nothing OF t,
little OF what is going on. Obscure
weekly newspapers published in Den.
yer carry advertisements OF the com
panies, hut the papers themselves are
seen by few Colorado readers. They
are supported and made profitable by
the advertisements of such companies,
and their capacity to be Of benefit
to advertisers OF frauds is largely in,
creased by the fact that they are pub
lished in the heart Of the greatest min
ing field. Yet such papers are made
for foreign consumption almost entire
ly, and have an extremely limited cir
culation among home people OF actual
mining men. Many fake promoters, IN
fact, publish their WI papers, which
they fill with boom matter about their
own properties or alleged mines and
circulate as Independent .yeriAcation
of their own statements concernina
their propositions.

a similar position in Wyoming. 1t is
charged that he sold fish from that

MINING FAKES.

1t is only when a case gets into the
courts through criminal charges
brought by the postofice department
or civil suits in local tribunals for the
recovery of money Illegally obtained,
that the general public gets an insight
into the ways of the fake mining pro.
moter. Only those whose business
takes them otter through the office
blocks al realize what an enormous
business is conducted in this city by
floaters of fraudulent or semifraudu-
lent mining companies. Denver Is one
Of the centers of the business, because
Denver is a mining city. Other west
ern cities have their own BURDEN OF
the nefarious business to bear, nor are
the eastern centers of conservatism
free from the contamination of the min.
ing sharper, but Denver probably has
the largest share OF the load. q
