WOMEN AS NOTARlES.

Prospect OF a Great Demand for NotariaI
Commissions.
The indications are that :he governors
proclamation announcing the success of the
equal suffrage campaign will be followed by
flood of applications for commissions as
notary public, says the Denver Ners. The
secretary Of state Is beseiged daily by young
women stenographers, each Of whom 10 ambi-
tious Of being the first female notary on the
list. The ardor Of the fair petitioners is
dampened quite preceptibly when they are
Informed that the cost Of assuming the re-
sponsibility ranges from $l2 to SIS. The
chances are that total receipts of each indi-
vidual notary for the first year will not exceed
the amount named.
Commissions for notaries are good for four
years. The applicant Is required to fill up a
blank, which is supplied by the secretary OF
state. The blank is submitted to the COVER
nor, who announces the appointment II the
applicant is satisfactorily recommended. The
secretary Of state notifies the successful appli-
cant, at the same time making blank bond.
The bond must be for $1,000. The law
quires that 1t shall be filed with the county
clerk and also with the secretary of state.
The clerk charges q cents and the secretary
of state So. The commission is finally issued
by the secretary OF state although 1t must be
filed with the county clerk and the prospective
notary must be supplied with notorial seal
and record book before he or she can hang
out his or her shingle for business. The seal
costs So, the record book s2 and stamp
showing the date OF expiration of commission
costs 80 cents. Several other incidentals go
to swell the cost involved by getting into the
swim notary public.
The army numbers several thousand In
Colorado already so that the profits are by no
means allurlng. Quite number of business
men and attorneys will take out commissions
for their stenographers with the understand
ing that the notarial work for the Office is to
cost nothing. Any outside business that
naturally presents itself, Is the perquisite OF

The famous Durant-B Bonny bel litigation has
been settled for good, says the Denver Ners.
The suits pending on behalf Of John c. Bates
against the Durant company In the United
States Court were withdrawn by stipulation
Friday, each side pi ying its own costs. The
suits were filed after the Bonnybel people had
scored victory in tie long fought case Of
Durant VS.. Bonnybel. They concluded that
they would warm up the Durant people q
little by becoming plaintiffs themselves.
The terms Of the agreement between Mr..
Bates, representing the Bonnybel and David
Hyman representing the Durant, are kept
private but they are to this effect: The
property in dispute is now in the hands Of
Bates and will remain there. He will control
its working and will resume operations when
the price of silver is In his opinion high
enough to justify him in doing SO and will
pay TO Hyman u fixed proportion Of the pro
ceeds. Thus endeth a celebrated case involv-
ing one of the richest properties at Aspen.

CURED last Monday, when a committee OF the
American league, the lately organized auxili-

The Denver Times OF the 21st gives the fol-
lowing as the scheme that Governor Waite
intends to submit TO the legislature for Its ap-
proval:
In nutshell, Governor Waite favors state
free coinage of silver. lie would have the
legislature, in special session. create a bureau
for the purchase and coinage Of silver money
and for issuance of certificates In exchange
for bullion. These bullion certificates would
be exchangenble for silver coin, after the
payment Of mint charges.
But the constitution OF the United States
does not allow state to coin money. Very
true. Governor Waite has, however, read the
constitution and he would get around this
prohibition by sending the Colorado bullion
to Mexico, there to be mintcd Into dollars,
half dollars and other coin Of the sister re-
public. The old coinage laws by which for
eign silver coins are legal tender are under
stood by the governor never to have been re-
pcaled and he believes that Colorado silver
coined In the Mexican mints can legally pass
current here. The governor Is even said to
have sent personal representative to the
City of Mexico to confer with the treasury
officials there and complete the details Of the
project.
