that the cork leg of a fellow was found to

The Fortilita Mining Co. of Arizona, is
a frand-—shares 82. It was extensively
advertised, and thous ands of honestly
earned dollars went into the coffers of
the swindlers. The advertisement was
sent to the Rerorrenr, with a liberal offer
to pay in cash or stock. But believing it
was not a legitimate mining comp any
we refused to accept the ad. as we did
pot wish to see our readers invest money
in asbold a fraud as the oats swindle.
Many of thecity dailies and country
weeklies published the ad. and thus led
gome of their readers, to give money
for mining stocks that. wera not worth
the paper they were written on. Here
again the Reronren displayed good fore
sight.
