The committee on mining affair, OF the
house Of representatives has had It's at
tention called TO statements made by
prominent citizens Of Whateom county,
Washington, whose names for obvious
reasons are withheld, that il would be
bad policy to set aside that pros ision re
quiring assessment work to be done upon
mining claims. A movement wa. ON foot
to suspend this work during the present
year, but the statements which have bren
made to the committee put different
light upon the matter. and No action may
be taken. II is probable that such legs
lation will result mainly to the adYan
tage Of bands Of Spectators who have
tied up the principal mining claims IN
each locality, and compel all those wh1
actually wish to work and develop a
mine to purchase 1t from them at high
price. IL Is pointed out that 1t Is not
difficult for the bona fide miner, who has
but one claim, to do his assessment work
each year, and that in fact nearly all Of
these do more than the necessary amount
OF assessment work every year. On the
other hand, il Is obviously impossible ior
spectators, without the expenditure Vi
large sums Of money, 10 do the work upon
the large number Of claims which they
are holding for the purpose Of selling at
high prices TO those who wish actually
TO engage in mining. It Is claimed, there.

and should not be suspended, for the rra
son that 1t eompels these sperulator. to
let go the claims they are holding under
fictitious names, and thus permit actual

Reducing Sise of CIaI@s.

A movement is on foot in the house at
Washington, d. e., to reduce the present
legal dimensions OF mining claim about
one half. 1t is asserted that il a mining
claim is good, whether it be OF gold OF
silver, 800 by $50 feet is large enough for
any one individual; il it is not a good
claim, then it is more than any miner
wants. The greatest foe to mineral de
velopment in any state, it is asserted, Is
the excessive number OF claims held by a
few persons. A bill has been prepared To
compel every mine owner to work out hts
assessment and to allow no man 10 hold
more than one lode OF placer mine at a
time, and reduce the size Of all claims to

PITTSBURG BANK FAILS.
VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION OF THE GERMAN
NATIONAL INSTITUTION-FINANC DIFF
FICULTIES OF THE PRESIDENT.


Pittsburg oct Notwithstanding the rumors
that have been anoat for some time concerning the
financial straits OF the German National Bank or
this city. the announcement this morning that tho
bank had gone into voluntary liquidation caused
great surprise and many depostors hurried 10 the
bank to find the doors closed. The suspension OF
the bank can be traced directly TO two causes. the
carving of too many securities OF the Natalie Coal
and Coke Company and large loans on insufficient
collateral The beginning OF the dlfhcu.ty was
nearly a year ago, when the Natalie companys
paper became the object OF much intricate litga-
ton in which the German National Bank figured.
This was followed few weeks ago by the sudden
retirement of o. c. Burgdorff as cashier.
The final stroke was the confession Of heavy
judgments by Adolphus. William c. and O. II.
Groetzlnger. and A. Groetzinger & Sons to Edward
Croetzinger and the issuance yesterday OF eXecu-
tons A Groetzinger was president of the bank
and his financial troubles. it is said, were caused
principally by the failure OF the Munson Betting
Company, in Chicago. last week Other heavy
losses are said to have been sustained. but II was
supposed the large personal wealth OF the family
would enable the firm TO tide over the difficulty. 1t
