Senator Quay, in his speech advo-
eating special railroad rates for drum

States about 10000 travelling men.
Their expenses are on an average, oh
tanned from careful compilation,

every day in the year $270,00O is spent
by them in railroad fares. But as
they only work say eight months in
the year, we will say that they are on
the road S40 days, which multiplied
by the sum mentioned gives us total
of $64S00,000 that is spent by them
each year, This sum shows the drum.

A mining engineer of Colorado
has been sued for the collection OF
his note given three years ago,
bearing interest at the rate of 8
per cent. per month, and the c:edi'
tor demands that he be impris-
oned until the principal and inter
est are paid. The plaintiff relies
in his proceedings upon section 5,
chapter 50 of the General Statutes
of Colorado, which says at shall
be lawful for the party IN whose
favor any Judgment as aforesaid
may be obtained, to have execution
in the usual form, direct to any
county in this state, against the
goods, chattels, lands or tene-
ments of such party defendant,
or upon his body, when the same
is authorized by law" Impris-
onment for debt is a relic of
barbarious times and ought not to
be tolerated except in cases like
this where a man agrees to pay
3 per cent. per month and does not
do ii.

Much diversion of opinion pre-
walls regarding what constitutes
the representation of a mining
claim. Some say that ten feet of
work, in either shaft or tunnel,
will meet the requirements. The
law 'states that 500 must be spent
in labor and improvements on
each mining claim, and is silent rs
to the number of .feet of tunneling
or sinking necessary. No definite
distance can be stated from the
fact that the hardness of rock
varies greatly in different forma-
tions. The local custom in many
camps allows a man on short con-
tracts. who furnishes his own
powder, tools ana repairs, five dol
lars per day. Many owners per-
form only twenty days work as
representation. Others more than
with the law by putting in
from twenty-five to thirty days on
each claim. 1t would be much
better for the owners and !he
districts If at least thirty days

CALL OF THE SOUTH WEST
SILVER CONVENTION.


To the prospectors, miners, mine
and claim owners OF New Mexico,
Arizona and Western Texas:
The depression that exists
throughout the southwest is due
to the unnatural depreciation of
silver and to the evil effects caused
by that portion of the alien act
that prohibits the investment of
foreign capital in mining property
in the territories The object of
the Southwest Silver Convention
that is to convene on the 10Th day
of December, 1891, In El Paso,
Texas, is to discuss and take steps
to remedy these evils. No other
subject but the silver question and
the me difcation of the alien act
will be entertained by the conven-
tion, and all attempts to pervert
the object of this mass meeting of
miners by the introduction of
questions foreign to the principles
for which it was called, will be sup
pressed. The restoration of silver
to Its normal value or parity with
gold l29. 20 and the obliteration of
an unjust discrimination against
the miners operating in the terrific
rles. will engage the entire energy
and time of the assembled miners
of the southwest.
