BUSINESS failures Of April were the
smallest ever known. They were 3S
per cent less than the corresponding
mouth of 1898, and not third Of those
of April, 1897. Narrower, the ratio OF
repudiated liabilities as compared to
payments made was under 70 cents on
the $1,000. How great gain this is
may be Judged from the records OF
August and September, 1896. Then
the ratio was $500 to the 81 900.

Hon Francis G. Newlands has been
for several days on the Comstock, con-
ferring with the mining superintend-
ents and others regarding deep pumping
and the work that must be done pre-
paratory to the introduction of electric
power. 1t is expected that the power
company will be prepared. to deliver
electric power by next July or August,
but meanwhile preparations will have
to be made to adapt the mining ma
chinerv to its use.
The old conditions prevalent previous
to the formation of the pumping asso-
citation (when each company. in all
things, worked independently of all the
others) have disappeared, and the min
ing companies now all act on the CO.
operative plan in matters of common
interest. 1t was mainly to secure the
most effective and effectual co-opera-
ton on the part of the local manage
ment of the different mines that Mr..
Newland visited the Constock at this
time. He expects to attend conference
of the pumping association upon his
return to San Francisco and there adj

visit to the lode.
