GREAT BANK RECORD
IMMENSE LOANS AT NEW YORK.

Enormous Expansion Brings the Total
Near the Billion Mark-Greatiy
Increased Deposits Show the Bank
Statement out of Harmony.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE Financier
says:
The statement of the New York as
sociated banks last week shows rec
oId-breaking maximum in the items of
loans and OF deposits and this, too.
Notwithstanding n loss of cash.
The official return of the cash was
entirely Mt variance with the estimate
based upon the traceable movements
Of money between the banks and the
treasury and the interior. the official
statement showing Il net loss of $6S6,-
100, made up of a gain OF $1.o16.IOO IN
specie and ID loss of 81, 202, 800 in legal
tenders, while the estimated movement
showed gain OF S2,619,1 100 cash. This
discrepancy may be accounted for by
an outward movement of legal tender
through the mail TO Boston and Phila
delphia, which shipments were not re-
ported by the bank tellers who con
fined their reports to the amount OF
money which was delivered to or re-
| ceived from the express companies.
The loans We're expanded last week
by $13.40S,T00. This makes total
| expansion since the second week in
| January of SG7. 7.7G7 800 and the loans
nre now 1892 OO4, 700. or $13.21b, 100

loans on record, which was S91S, $780,

creased by $14,597. 100. showing that
the statement Is out of harmony.

1t is an odd fact that may fittingly
be mentioned that some steam rail-

result would seem difficult to trace

daily who. to avoid weary trips, have
governed themselves on the injunc

the telegraph and the mail have also
been deterrents. and II there is any
validity to the alleged reason. the

The following from the Spokane
Spokesman Review shows how ex-
perienced mining men regard Thun-
der Mountain:
"Thunder Mountain has been
greatly overestimated, but despite
its disappointments it has several
mining properties which promise
good results" said John Galllvan,
a veteran mining man who has just
returned from six months tour of
the district. Mr.. Gallivan is well
known throughout the northwest.
He has been a resident in Spokane
for the past five years, and during
that time has visited all the principal
mining camps in the northwest, includ-
ing the Klondike and Nome.
He has also travelled extensively
in Mexico, Central America and
Southern Africa. He spent six
years in Southern Africa and visited
all the known gold regions of that
land He expects to leave for Cape
Town the first of next month. From
there he will go to johannesburg,
where he has mining interests. He
expects to return to America in
about year Speaking of his recent
trip into Thunder Mountain, he
continued:
''There is well defined mineral
belt extending almost north and
south from Big creek to johnson
creek, and including Monumental,
Mule and Profile creeks and Govern
ment gulch. Considerable base ores
have been discovered. Immense
lodges of low grade ores and several
lodges of medium grade ores have
been uncovered. That the mineral
belt has great wealth is unquestion-
ed, but its development will require
transportation facilities.
WAGON ROADS ARE NEEDED.
''But little if any development
other than assessment work can be
accomplished even on free milling
properties until better transportation
facilities are obtained. The country
is too difficult of access. A good
wagon road into the district will
help out in great measure, but not
until railroad facilities are obtained
can much be assured in the way of
returns for capital invested in the
district.
