BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Iishment Ceases Doing Business.
CHICAGO, Oct. %. The stationery and
printing house of Culver, Page, Hagne & Co,
one of the oldest in the city, closed its doors
this morning, and in answe to reportorial
inquiries, stated that the business had been
closed out to John, Morris. Beyond this
none of the parties interested would talk.
Morris is a young lawyer, and until recently
was in the Office Of the attorney OF
the Union National Bank. There is a
general understanding that the bank
has been carrying some of the firms
paper. The accepted theory in business
circles is that Norris represents the bank, to-
gether with the mass of the paper of the
company and other preferred creditors. The
immediate cause of the trouble seems to be
the fact that Culver, the moneyed man of
the firm, had a part of his capital invested in
mines and an insurance company. 1t is as
serted that he has just sold one of his mines
to an English syndicate for 100000, ana 1t
is believed that this transfer was for the
purpose of tiding over the difficulty till the
sale can be realized on. The assets are
.eughly estimated at 1925, 900. The liabili-

They leased three grea, plan,a- tions almost opposite Watcher, Miss, be. longing 10 C.. B. Shields of that city. The country was full of northern men who came south 10 show southern plznters how 10 grow cotton with free labor. Jus, above Reid < Heron, Frank P.

Mill Sites.

The United States Mining law
 provide that where non mineral lanC
 not contiguous to lode is used O
 occupied by the proprietor of thu lode it may be embraced in the ap plication for the patent of the lode The owner of a quartz mill or reduc- tion works not owning a mine, can also patent a mill site. The rulings of the Land Office require that in making a survey in a case of this kind the course and distance from the corner of the mill site to the cor ner of the lode claim must be given in the field notes and plat, and a copy of the notice and plat must be posted on the mill site. and at the lode, also, for 60 days.
 In case the owner of 8 quartz mill or reduction works is not the owner or claimant of vein or lode, the law permits him to make application therefor in the same manner as that prescribed for mining claims; aud after due notice and proceedings, in he absence of valid adverse filing, ito enter and receive the patent for the mill site at five dollars an acre.
 In every case there must be satis- factory proof that the land claimed as mill site IS not mineral in char acter, which proof may, when the matter is unquestioned, consist of the sworn statement of the claimant, by that of one ormore dis persons, capable. from with tbe land, to testify 1nderstandingly. The law expressly limits mill-site locations to five Mining and Scientific Press.

The negotiations for the sale of the Colusa m1ne and plant to English capitalists, have been almost conclu- ded. The price if the sale goes, is understood to be $1,500,000, which is considered low by those who under stand the immense productive re- sources Of the mine. The Pollock is the name of a prospect located about half way down the hill east of the Poser. The claim contains two sep arate and distinct veins. On the northern vein 8 shaft now 30 feet deep is being sunk as expeditiously as pos sible on a very regular and we'll de fined streak of ore which samples 80 ounces per ton. East of the shaft 8 tunnel is being run in on the vien, and has attained a length of 150 feet. Its face is now 50 feet from the point where it will iptersect the line of the shaft and shows the same width and quality of ore as noted above. It contains considerable ruby silver. The shaft on the south vein is now forty feet deep and shows all the way down a remarkably rich streak of ore of uniform width of 3 feet and sampling over $10O. It makes the best showing of any prospect in tue district. When the tunnel and shaft on the north Veln shall be connected, a crosscut will be run south to intersect the south vein, and according to all present appear ances a steady output of high grade ore will be maintained. A 100ton lot has just been sent to the Moulton mill to be treated and will yield not less than SIG,000 in ballion.-Intel Mountain,

According to the Citizen, there is a Justice at Harshaw who discounts the traditional Dogberry. His name is Turner. and he had a difficulty with a man named Renter. Turner is also Postmaster. One day lately he and Renter had a fight. After it was over he went to his office and made out the necessary legal papers and had Renter arrested and brought up before him. The defendant was not allowed a change of venue nor jury, but was promptly tried, found guilty and fined $50 or fifty days in the county jail. The commitment papers were made out that Renter csmmitted an assault on the Post master not giving his name, When the matter was laid before District Attorney Smith of Pima county, he gave his consent for the dismissal of the case. -A

The Albany Evening Journal hits the Ohio situation exactly when it says: "That Judge Foraker should have been defeated by only a few thousand votes in 8 poll of three
 quarters of million, with both the saloon interest and the prohibition interest actively against him, affords a far more striking demonstration of Republicans in Ohio than would have been given by his success under ordinary circumstances. If the un- precedented defections from the Re
 publican ranks on local issues could do no more than defeat the party, then it is stronger in Ohio than it w6s when William Allen or Richard Bishop was elected governor ,or when
