Chicago, July S.-The battle Of giant.

the silver men in control in the commit

of twenty, rushed to the platform and

The net results of the days wor K
were the adoption of the platforms and

MUST EXPLAIN FEES,
Judge Slack Refused to Allow
the Charges in the Howard
Black Case.
Watchmen Whose Services Must Be
Described Before Their Bills
Are Approved.

The Howard Black insolvency case was
again unuer consideration in Judge Slack s
court yesterday, and incidentally Sheriff
Whelan received setback in the matter
of fees.
When the matter came up on Tuesday
last, on an order to show cause why the
Sheriff should not pay certain money re-
ceived from sale of goods belonging to
Black to Blacks creditors, that official
presented big bill for fees. Attorney
Samuels disputed the bill and the matter
went over until yesterday.
The fees claimed by Mr.. Whelan's depu-
ties were $12 for four days services as
keepers fees, S45 for fifteen days watch
mans fees, $50 attorneys fees and Z per
cent on the price realized for the goods
sold, as receivers fees.
Judge Slack allowed So for keepers fees,
at 81 per day, which is what the new fee
Dill allows. He cut out the item of $50 for
attorney S fees and the per cent for the
receiver, but said that he thought the
Shern entitled TO something for selling
the goods. AS to the $45 asked for recom-
pense Tor Waterman, the matter was
TAKEN under advisement.
On tuesday his Honor took exception to
the manner in which the Sheriff keeps
track OF the services performed by the
and asked yesterday that the matter be
explained to him. Deputy O'Connor tried
TO tell how there had been a watchman on
DUTY during the fifteen DAYS charged for
Dut Jailed to convince Judge Slack thai
such was the case. The court said that IL
the Sheriff does not do business in a busi-
ness-hKe way and furnish evidence that

A suppestIon to Mine-Owners

The following communication contains
some suggestions of interest to mine-own-
ers and no doubt their adoption would, as
the writer says, lead to the investment of
a good deal of capital in the State, as well
as be of advantage to the mine-owner.
There is doubtless great deal of truth
in the complaint made by our correspon-
dent of the proneness of owners to exag-
gerate the value and richness of their
mines, which examination fails to SUBJ
stantiate:
CHICAGO, August 20, 1895.
Editor Mining Department CdIL-DEAR SIR: !
am much interested in the mining news pup
lished in THE WEEKLY CALL, and take the
your columns, which, if acted upon by your
mine-owners, would lead to the investment OF
good deal OF working capital from abroad /
can speak from personal knowledge as TO the
views OF capitalists hereabouts on this ques-
lion.
Firstly, desire to speak of the tendency OF
mine-owners to send out statements great Y
exaggerating the value aud richness of their
mines, and which examinations fall short OF
verifying.
At the request of clients DESTROYS of invest
ing capital in your mines, / have recently gone
to the expense of having examina lions made
OF mines in your State in three instances, on the
representations OF owners, in none of which
did the mines justify the statements or invest
ment which has had the effect to discourage
any effort in your direction.
There is scarcely limit 10 the capital that
would be invested in California mines ii
owners would be willing to share the risk with
the investor on plan something like the
Where mine seemed to justify the invest
ment, when price for the property is agreed
upon, the capitalist to make a small cash pay
ment then to go to work and develop the mine,
subsequently supply plant and proceed to
work the mine, paying the owner % per cent
of the gross results until the property was
paid for The advantage is to the mine-owner
IS he has his mine developed without any cash
outlay on his part, and is in the receipt OF q
regular income until the full price is paid.
When your mine-owners show disposition
to sell their mines on such equitable terms
there will be no lack OF capital to develop
them, and many of our capitalists stand ready
to furnish it, Very truly yours, I'D. L.

HAS HAD THE CROWDS.

A story was recently put in circula-
ton TO the effect that Bryan had Pink
erton detectives attached to his party
for the purpose of protecting him. Will
lam Pinkertdn has put a quietus upon
this allegation by making a statement
to the effect that his men go with
Bryan solely for the purpose of detect-
ing crooks who follow the Bryan train
to prey upon the crowds. He adds that
they have caused the arrest of seventy
five of the gentry at Bryan meetings.
The thieves make a note of the timer
airy and manage to reach the import
ant towns in time TO ningle with the
crowds.
This statement has a significance far
beyond the mere fact that it shows the
national committee, which pays the de-
tectives. has taken precautions to pro-
tect those who go to hear the candi-
date. IT furnishes additional evidence
of the success of the Bryan tour, since
the thieves would not follow the train
if they did not know that the crowds
would be SO dense that their profess
sion could be easily followed. 1t is also
