MINE FAILURE. W. H. Walker of Ottawa Tains Ovor Everything to His Creditors, OTTAWA, Jan. of one of the largest mining failures which has ever occurred in this section of the Dominion have just been obtained.

W. H. Walker has judicially abandoned his graphite mines for the benefit of his creditors. The total claims far entered ngainst the estate is 8175,120. Mr.

Walker, who was recognized as an able lawyer when years ago he was senior partner in the firm of Walker Mo Lean, practically dropping law business to go into mining. And the $172,000 of crediclaims referred to above does not indicate half the money he or his associates lost. Mr. Walker's specialty was graphite. He never really tackled anything else and he tackled that all pretty much in one in Ottawa county, a few miles from Buckingham.

The first venture was the Dominion of Canada Plumbago company, in which were a number of Ottawa men, and which built mill at Mr. Walker's graphite mine. Another company was formed, chiefly with English capital. This company's money, whatever it was, also disappeared, but Mr. Walker still seemed to have control of the mine.

Mr. Walker ability and energy were shown by the remarkable tight he made to get paying graphite, and the present failure seems to be the first complete surrender of a financier who might have made A big stir had he pitched upon a richer field of operations.
