sYLvANUs MILLER's ESTATE.
Consul General Owen is Prepared to
Settle Just Claims.

Several years ago Sylvanus Miller. an
American railroad contractor, went TO Qua
temala to construct railroad for the gov
eminent His employees included large
number of Americans, who acted as fore
capacities The line of railroad was COM
pleted but about the time of its complexion
Miller died in Guatemala. An adjustment
of his affairs was not possible at the time
because the Guatemala government had not
completed its payments to him for the work
of construction. Under the law it became
necessary for the United States consul gen.
eral, Mr. Owen, to settle the estate of Mil
Ter. He has given much attention to the
matter and finally has effected a complete
settlement with the Guatemalan govern
ment.
Many claims against the estate of Miller
are pending. but the claimants, particularly
the Americans, are widely scattered. and
the amount of their claims in many in
tstances is not known. Miller issued to his
employees checks for their labor, and it will
be necessary for his old employees in order
to get their money to present those time
checks to Consul General Owen.
The State Department does not undertake
to look up the various claimants, having
neither the money to advertise for them nor
the means otherwise of reaching them.
The funds of Mller's estate, however,
amount to a very large sum. The sum Is in
the hands of Consul General Owen. await
ing distribution among those who may hold
claims against the estate. The amount
is in the neighborhood of 100000. Mr..
Owen is prepared to pay legitimate claims
as soon as they are presented and for which
proper vouchers can be given.

and buried channels of streams that for
merly flowed several hundred feet below
the present surface Such a valley extends
from Venice, near Miami, in the southern
part of Butler county, southwestward
through Hamilton county to the Ohio river
in the vicinity of Elizabethton. The Miami
river at one time flowed through this valley.
but the old course of the stream has since
filled to a great depth with gravel. sand

the gravels of the Miami valley suggests
to the survey that like results may be OBJ
