KNOWN BANKING INSTITUTION.
STATEMENT OF DEPOSITS FOR
PAST YEAR.

The latest statement of the Birming-
ham Trust and savings company is a
further proof of the steady and remarka-
BILE growth of that bank In public favor.
Although not Obliged to do so, the au-
thorities of the bank have always made
1t a point to publish a statement at the
same time that the comptroller calls the
national banks
The dates of these published statements
have been at no regular time and yet
each of them has shown the Birmingham
Trust and Savings company to be in a
more prosperous condition than the pre-
Yious one.
AS an example of. the remarkable in
crease In individual deposits, the publish
ed figures of September &c. 1901, showed
81, 539, 237.74. and the statement of Septem-
Der 10, 1902, showed deposits of $780,
$1,000, an increase of $50. 6S1.S6 in one
year.
The following comparative figures show
the gradual and constant growth In its
hlJsiOpgS.

1t is very natural that the bank should
occupy the prominent and important po-
sltion in the banking and financial world
that 1t does, for its affairs are managed
by conservative, progressive and able
business men-men in whom the public
has the greatest confidence.
The board of directors embraces men
well known in the financial and business
world for their energy, integrity and abil-
ity to succeed at whatever they under
take.
The bank has the confidence of banking
institutions, not only in this state, but
also over the country, and with such a
thoroughly competent corps of men to
direct its interests, the Birmingham
Trust and Savings company will continue
to merit the esteem and confidence of the
commercial and financial world. is re-
flected in the phenomenal growth of its
business.

NYE COUNrY's DARK HORSE.

The Reno Ledger of August 4 has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the probability of
James l.. Butler, the discoverer of Tonopah,
becoming the Fusion nominee for Governor
Of Nevada at the next general election:
1--WE notice that q gentleman who the
Republicans have been talking of running
for Governor has been selected as a delegate
to the Silver Party State Convention from
Tonopsh. He is q miner and one Of the
most popular men in Nevada at the present
time. and if . dark horse makes bis appear
ance in the race for the Governorship the
name of this big-hearted miner would sweep
the delegates off their feet in q wave of en-
thusissm and there would be q great, grand
rally Of the Fusion forces around such a
standard bearer. For . standard bearer
that would infuse the Fusion cause with
new life and enthusiasm look in the direc-
tion Of the new mining camp of Tonopah.

pEsT RucTIvE FIRE
AT PALIsApE.

A disastrous FIRE occurred ct Pslissde last
Monday night. II started shortly after
10 o'clock and in less than thirty minutes
had destroyed the principal buildings on
the north side Of the track. Everything be.
tween the school house on the west and
Superintendent Abbott's residence on the
east was burned to the ground.
The fire was caused by the explosion Of .
large coal oil stove in the kitchen part OF
W.. F. Bessley's saloon. The buildings 10
the burnt district were mostly old wooden
structures that bad been standing for .
number Of years. and on account Of the re-
cent dry weather were in . highly inhsm-
msble condition. There were no facilities
for fighting . fire in the portion Of the town
burned, and the brisk wind that was blow
ing down the canyon caused the flames to
spread rapidly to the Dorman Hotel, saloon
and store buildings. The intense heat soon
caused the buildings to the east to take fire,
and they with their contents were also de-
stroyed.
The buildings destroyed were the ]. A.
Dorman hotel. owned by Mrs. Mary White;
the old Baum hotel and saloon buildings
owned by J.. A. Dorman, the Club saloon
owned by W. F. Bsssley, and the hotel
property Of Thomas Summersll. The loss
is placed at about sl0.0
Agent l. G. G. Whitmore of Eureka re.
ports his companies TO be holding So, $50
insurance ON property destroyed by the Pal
isade FIRE. Some insurance is also held with
the insurance agents ct Elko.
Mrs. Mary White is said to have carried
81, 900 insurance on her hotel property. and
Thomas Summerall is reported to have 500
on his property.
The town is now without Q hotel and at
present there are no accommodations for the
travelling public who fail to make connec-
tion with the Eureka train. Meals may be
obtained at the China restaurant, but sleep
ing apartments are ct a premium.
The Eureka & Palissde passenger depot
building had q narrow escape. Although
the company had plenty Of hose and . fair
supply OF water, the heat was so intense on
the north side of the building that it was
found impossible to get a stream on that
side of the depot. The heat blistered
the desk in Supt. Abbott's Office, and
for some little time il was thought the
building was doomed.
II is reported that j. A. Dorman has Or
dered lumber for q small building and that
he will open a store as soon as he can get
the building up. He is undecided as yet
what he will do in regard to the hotel bust
ness.
Richard McCloskey, the cook, was asleep
in the rear part of the Club saloon and mar
rowly escaped being cremated. He was so
badly burned about the face and hands that
it was necessary for him to go to Elko to
have his injuries attended TO.

We, the members of the Hsymskers' Union,
wish you 10 state how the weather will be

send the report every week by mail.
Do you still lie on your back on the

Yours truly. p. ID. DoNAHUE,

P. ID. DoNAHUE-Desr Sir: In answer
to pour inquiry regarding the weather, 1
will state that my observations lead me to
the conclusion that the average haymsker
is generally in aphelion from the hay when
the sun is shining brightly. and be also
knows enough to come in out Of the wet.
Therefore ID would be . waste Of my
eseDio i"o " iufuisn youf ofBsui1ation
with weekly reports. At present there is
such 9 sameness about the weather in this
section that ID has ceased to be interesting,
and am now studying the various con-
stellstions in the endeavor to ascertain their
influence on seismic disturbances on terra
6rms. As il is generally conceded that
nothing short Of . good earthquake will
arouse our people into activity, l am quietly
working along these lines. l think the first
disturbance will be felt in the vicinity of
Reno about August 26. Never mind the
weather. boys. but make hay while the
