Electric branding of seals Fails.
VICTORIA, r. c.. Oct. 1.-THE Alas
kan of Sitka, says:
1.-THE plan of Jordan TO brand seals by
electricity proved impracticable and a
much slower process than the hot iron
principle Mr.. Murray. with hot
iron. branded !. 100 seals in one day. while
by electricity IL required FIVE minutes for
each seal. Possibly by improving their
electrical device TO secure greater heat,
they may be able 20 make it work, but
this year II was a failure"

The statement "f business failures
in the United States during Septrm
Der and during the third quarter uf
the current year, rs furnished by
Duns Review, gives a gratifying as.
surancc of the improvement in bust

For the quarter the average of iia-
biliues in reported failures is the low
known in twenty-three yenrs. The
total of failures Is the lowest since
1892. One single failure in The bro
ker'ge business brings mp the aver
age and total in that class of business,
but in the class Of manufacturing and

ON record since these classes were es-

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-02-03

Robert Taylor, an old gentleman
whom our citizens viii remember,
having made his home here several
years ago, committed suicide by hang
ing himself in an old logging camp
near Hibbing the fore part OF the year.
His remains were discovered two
weeks after the deed had been COM
mitted. The reason OF the suicide is
supposed to be dependency over the
loss Of money. He was the man who
purchased large amount OF time
checks of the Zenith Iron company
about four years ago and has not been
able to realize on the paper.
The complaint of Emil Gross in
a suit fled recently against the
Rouchleau-Ray Iron company con-
tains some sensational allegations.
The plaintiff, it is alleged, owned et
of net and ct of SET of section 25-5s-Is.
Plaintiff sold to defendant, for s25, 900
half cash. Ell of set, and took a note
Tor SlZ,0O secured Dy mortgage on
the property. Subsequently, he trad
ed a quarter interest in Ell of net for
lots and 8, block $50. Auditors re-
arrangement of Portland division
Plaintiff alleges that he never record
ed his mortgage, because the defend
ant persuaded him not TO do so. Later
on, plaintiff AYERS, defendant induced
him TO give deed for the whole of
the property to defendant, upon the
pretense that the land could be sold
easier where the title was all in one
person. This the plaintiff did, not
knowing that by so doing he wiped
out his $1,000 mortgage. Now he
sues to have the lots re-conveyed to
the company and have the deed
annulled.
