UNCLE SAM AFTER sWIEDLERS
(Ramsey Recorder)

Il is seasOnabi. Jews 10 near that
the Government has sent agents into
Nevada 10 iook up the socalled
wildcats" cf mining, but which are
not any part Of the legitimate enter
prise. Sy-indlCrs and thieves are the
right names for the class that have
teen given the singular cosnOmen
and no one Of fair mind feels that
way than all riminals.
Raj mining to the "wildcatter'
never ente~s mo any part OF his ex-
istence He merely sets up an incor
poration with high sounding name,
fills some we'll flied circulars with a
lot of false statements and proceeds
to send them broadcast through the
medium OF he United States mails.
If some newspaper will accept this
class of advertising. full page an
nouncements are published and these
too are sent through the mails in
large numbers.
Occasionally, but more sGruculariy
when stock sales are unusually good
a pretorea 1T mining is made. This
usually consists Of putting up wind
lass ard sinking q hole in he ground
where there IS about as much chance
to find ere as there would be in the
middle Of the ocean. This sort O
thing goes on as long as stock sale:
are good or until there is q fear O
trouble. when the swindling concern
quietly drops out of sight.
It is sincerely to be honed tha
Uncle Sam will overhaul ana punisl
some Of these tawbreakers. There i
no question but that the entire stat
would feel the benefit Of a weedin:
out Of the miserable varmints.

places across the mann stream, and that
they do so as soon as possible.
