New York, April 29.-Another one of those eases 10 which We have previ- ously referred in the columns Of your paper appears to have arisen and been brought to the courts in this city. Men of wealth and prominence are not in- freluently made the defendants III suits for damages upon such nlmsy grounds. or no grounds whatever, Ill fact. that they have all the appear ances of being brought for the pur- nose of securing money in a doubtful way. This is what the many friends of MT. George Mitchell have to say in reference to the suit brought against him. We do not know that this is the case but many of the circumstances are at least suspicious.
 Some few days ago an attachment against the property owned by MT. Mitchell in this state was issued m d suit brought against him by hooert Blei. who formerly ran a concert nall in this city to recover S1OO,OVV MT Blei claims this amount is due him as commission for the sale 10 MT. Mitchell of the Gladhough and Ellamer mine on Prince William Sound, Alaska.
 One of the most peculiar features ol the case. as stated by friends or MT Mitchell is that he never purchased any property in which MT. Blei might have been interested, and owes him nothing. MT. Blei never made any de- mands unon MT. Mitchell or his law yers for the sum he alleges is due 10 him. and Mir. Mitchell knew nothing of the matter until the papers in the case were filed. As Mir. Mitchell is not a resident of the state, it was pos sible for Mir. Blei to secure the attach mert upon the property owned by NIT. Mitchell in New York. and, evidently, this fact well suited his purpose.
 In the great majority Of the suits brought under such suspicious circum- stances the cases never go beyond the first stage, the matter either be- ing settled out of court or else it is dropped. the defendant making a too decided stand If this suit agains: NIT. Mitchell is ever pressed by MT Blei. we have no doubt that the defendant will be able to defeat it.
 Mir. Mitchell is unquestionably one of the best known mining men in the country, and is highly respected by all knowing him personally and by those who have had any dealings with him. He is president of the Mitchell Mining company, one of the richest propositions of it's kind in Mexico. and one of the largest in the world, and has been prominently before the mining public for years. Previous to his for nation of the Mitchell Mining com pany, he was the president of Cobre Grande Copper Mining company, and before that time was connected with the Boston & Montana Shelters at Great Falls, Montana, and with the United Verde Mines, of Jerome, Ari- zona.
 In addition to being a thoroughly practical mining man and a business man of great ability. he is an inventor as well, and in many of the greatest mines of this country machinery of his invention is in use
 No doubt this suit will alarm many of the holders of stock in the Mitchell Mining company. their timidy for the time being getting the better of their judgment. MT Mitchell personally is a millionaire several times over, and even if this suit should be decided against him-of which there seems to be absolutely TO prospect-his person. al wealth would hardly be touched upon, to say nothing of the wealth of the Mitchell Mining company. which is in no way connected with this ac- tion.
