FIRST INTERNATIONAL COURT OF
 COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION IN THE
 us. PROVING MOST SUCCESSFUL

and less than $1,000 the fee is $10 where the amount exceeds $1,000 a fee of $10 is exacted plus a special fee equivalent to 2 per cent on the first extra thousand, 1 per cent or each additional thousand and F pel cent on all over five thousand.
 The costs are met by the un- successful contestant unless other. wise arranged.
 Advantages of Court.
 The corollary advantages offered by the court are summarized in g statement by it's manager: The trade court gives the poor man a chance. The man who has nc friends, who cant give bail when arrested is almost inevitably brought to trial for the reason that he can not legally be held in durance for more than three months. The rich man on the other hand, who can readily furnish bail. stands an ex- cellent chance of escaping trial al together, since in the mass of cases constantly crowding the calender the bail cases are habitually showed behind, and often lost altogether There are cases in the criminal court in Chicago that have been hanging fire for eight years. And when a case becomes as old as that it is almost impossible to secure a conviction.
 Safety in Review.
 Incidentally" continued MT Green. the opportunity to have a court of competent advisors sit ir the jury box, men who thave devoted their lives to one particular branch of industry or science, instead of the usual twelve good men and true who are picked up from the street will not go unheeded among keen witted business men. The man who lives at a distance from Chicago car feel entirely secure that when his case comes up for review in this court he will not be at the mercy understand the evidence, much less are qualified to render an intelligent verdict upon it, but that the best qualified men in Chicago will render the verdict with strictest i'm partiality.
 We could handle every civil action that came up in the city of Chicago if need be- declared MT Green. By calling in our reserves the business men, trade experts and attorneys who have agreed to serve us, we can expand the court to any size for any emergencyif-

GOLD RUSH IS REP ORTED TO
 NEW DISTRICT
Rush to Canadian Oil Feilds Slackens = Prospectors
 Off for Elbow Lake.

THE PAS, Man, July 19.-Gold fever has temporarily displaced ex- citement here incident to the rush to the oil fields, and prospectors are leaving daily for the scene of the reported rich mineral strike.
 Reports of ore bodies rich in gold content having been uncovered come from several sections, but the rich est is reported at Elbow Lake in the Athapapuskow Lake mineral area and east of the famous Gordon Dyke, discovered last summer. FL bow Lake is about 200 miles north east of The Pas.
 Mining men who have visited the spot have returned here with an account of a vein sixty feet wide wherein free gold is freely seen. Until it is stripped, they declare, however, it is possible only to ap- proximate the value and tonnage.
 Other prospectors who visited the region following the report of the strike declare that a mineral body forty feet wide and traced for $50 feet in length has been uncoy cred. throughout which free gold is heav- fly deposited. One prospector had two pounds of ore, of which the gold content was estimated at not less than two per cent. These sam ples are considered the richest ever brought here.
 Another strike, the exact loca- tion of which is vague, also has thrown Peace River into the throes of gold fever. The cause of the eX- citement was the recent arrival of a party who investigated claim which furnished an old Indian trap per, about 70 miles northeast of. here, with number of small mug gets.

"Tbe Pack OF Cards Case" was re
ferred to in Justice Bargraye Deane's
court the other week and II is one OF
the most remarkable Of what may be
termed haphazard requests, writer
In London Answers observes. The
testatrix, suffering from a paralytie
stroke, had pack of cards dealt to
her by her solicitor bearing the names
OF her relatives. On another pack
were details Of her various properties
The solicitor "dealt" her card with
the name Of a person, and she played
to 1t card with an item of her estate
on II. The solicitor gathered the trick,
and the trick was done; but whether
everybody was satisfied that they were
lucky at cards Is another matter.
A man who was found in a dying
condition, having met with gun acci.

written his last will and testament on
his shirt cuff with a fountain pen. II
was duly signed and as It's provisions
were very simple and Its intention OBJ
viously sincere, II passed muster with
