Failures The business failures occuring throughout through-out the country during tho last seven days as reported to R G Dun Co number for the United States 1SS and for Canada 23 or a total of 211 as compared com-pared with totals of 3S2 last week and 179 the week previous to the last For the corresponding wees of lat year the figures were 244 representing represent-ing failures in the the United States and 34 in the Dominion of Canada Ore Offerings fcinall Ore buyers are free to admit that tho ore offerings in tho open market are much smaller than ther were a year ago and they attribute this to the fact that numbers of scalier shippers have failed to produce as much ore as usual owing to the low price of silver and lead i Bus ness in Salt Lake 5 Trade in Salt Lake during the pst week has been very fair everything considered Remittances from the country towns are better than usual due In a great measure of course to the returns from the wool clip and the harvests of small grains Crops throughout the territory are reported as being above the average and this means prosperity for alL Lead and Silver Lead has remained steady at 4 during the entire week while silver has declined a trifle Opening at t3 it fell to 83 closing at that figure last evening The Clearing House Out of twentytwo of the leading cities of the United States reporting eight show a decrease in bank clearings as compared with a year ago Sal Lake however is in the increase column thofigures being 236 The total for the leading cities shows a decrease of 169 per cent MIner and Insurance To the editor of TUB HEIIAID The following btatement of the working of the Eureka Miners union for the six month ending June 30 last is considered necessary at th1s time owing to the fact that BullionBeck and Champion Mining Min-ing company has presented to its employees em-ployees a proposition to join an accident insurance company for the better protection protec-tion of their families As they are not in any way pecuniarily interested it is hoped that a comparison of the benefits to employees em-ployees offered by the Miners union and the accident insurance company com-pany retpeetively will convince the company com-pany of the superior advantages of the forme and lead them to do lor their em 4 ployeee part at least of what they propose to do for the insurance company that is to cdUect and pay over to the representatives of their employees whatever these by rule may direct leaving them liberty top to-p y benefits for sickness accident and death each sums as they themselves may direct I The Miners union collects L per month from each member and pays for sickness = or aocidtent is per week for ten weeks it beIng optional to pay five weeks extra in t cue ofvery severe accident and for funeral fun-eral benefits 100 c Under these rules they paid out during the si Ix months named 130675 of which 13430 was paid for accident and 8107245 for aicKnees and deaths caused by sickness f 100 of the first named sum being paid for death caused by accident premature ex ploon The whole amount paid was less than threefourths of the receipts for the Mme time Acting on the supposition that only those who paid dues were employees of the Bul lionBeck company during those sir months the following comparison show the superior su-perior advantages of theunion system UNION Total tfeeeipta of union gj <

only of accident insurance but what is as maybe may-be seen from the foregoing statement of facts of Jar greater importance benefits for sickness and tfeatb resulting therefrom their employees would no doubt be quite willing in order to maintain the friendly relations which have for more than twelvemonths twelve-months existed to enter into an agreement I agree-ment similar to one which has to the mutual advantage of employers and employed em-ployed been faithfully observed by both in the mines of Virginia City Nov by which the employees are bound to protect the property of the employers from danger by fire or other cause Thus securing as far as brave and faithful faith-ful men can do it the safety of their property pro-perty In the sincere hope that other employers em-ployers after a careful reading of the above statement will be induced not only by a sense of justice but of self interest to consider the same favorably and eo give their employee the most protection at the least cost and without loss securing the best services of the best men since these are generally found whore they are best treated I am sir in the interest of liberty and justice Yours with respect 6 JCto
