ALPS MATTERS. Last Saturday night
a meeting was held by the creditors Of
this company to see if all the creditors
could not be induced to sign paper
giving time to the company, and thus
STAYING of proceedings in bankruptcy.
Some 90 creditors signed the compro-
mise. and committee was appointed to
solicit the signatures OF the balance OF
the creditors. The committee appointed
found the task TOO much for them, owing
to the stubborness of some Of the credi-
tors. go meeting was called again Mon
day evening. This meeting settled the
business. 1t became evident that a
number of the CT ditors would not sign,
but would hold off in the hopes that they
would get their money if oil the balance
OF the creditors would sign. Several at
tsmpts have been made since to get tn g
obstinate ones to sign, but without avail.
There ia hardly doubt but what the
Alps silver mining company will settle

OF working it. The Sheriff informed

nothing, as they not would DO allowed
to move anything.
