been flooded. Water is still rushing
over the tracks and great damage has
occurred at many sections.
A terrific storm last night caused
many fresh washouts or the main line
Of the Santa Fe. At Haviiand. six miles

was destroyed yesterday afternoon, the
roadbed is flooded to a depth of seven
feet. Telegraph poles for q consider

NEVADA COAL is POOR
Large Deposits in EsmeraIda
County Prove TO Be of
Low Grade.

The coal beds Of Esmeralda county.
Nevada. about which SO much has been
said recently seem likely to prove a
disappointment so far as solving the
fuel problem in the far west Is con-
ccTned. These coal beds are in the
Silver Peak range of hills south of the
San Pedro railroad. Thus far no coal
has been discovered in the district that
can compare in any way with the coai
found in such iimitless quantities IN
Utah. and for this reason the explor-
ations and inspections made in the
Nevada field will but emphasize rtLc
value of the Titan deposits. a recent
issue Of the Los Angeles Express in
speaking Of the Nevada coal district
said among other things:
This cbal is said to have been dis
covered by William Grozenger of Can
delaria in 1898, and the seams are noN
continuously located. The chief seams
are four in number and some of them

Mr.. Grozenger has classified IKE veins
counting from the top, as the first sec
Ond, third and fourth veins. The dis
lance between the first aud second
veins perpendicularly IS estimated by
him to be $50 feet. between the second
and third. seventy feet. and between
the third and fourth, 130 feet. The up
permost vein. No. I. seems TO be reIa-
lively poor and small. and, as exposed
in outcrop, of little value. Vein No. ?
is in the coal sEdles and is several feet
thick. The vein contains considerable
slate parting or bone. Vein No. 3.
which also is in the coal shale, is Of
better quality and thicker than No ?
No 1 shows six to eight feet of coal Of
much better quality than the upper
veins Much of this coal has bril-
liant iustre. while the coal in the other
veins is dull in color. It is used as

lords coke. The zeal contains a.

BANKS INSIST
ON FAIR DIVIDE
Sensation in National Capital
Financial Circles.
REAL ESTATE MAN BROKE
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY A PRE-
FERRED CREDITOR.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-A sensation
was caused in financial and real es-
tate circles in this city today when
it became known that petition in
bankruptcy had been filed by three OF
the leading national banks Of the city
against Thomas L. Waggoman.
prominent real estate and insurance
agent of this city and treasurer Of
the Catholic university. The petition
at the same time seeks to set aside
q deed of trust recorded yesterday on
Mr.. W'aggoman's property for approx
imately SS7s.000 in favor of the Caiho-
lie university. on the ground that II
is void as being an attempt by an IN
solvent debtor TO prefer one OF MS
creditors.
The petitiOning banks were the Sec
ond National bank. the National Met
ropoiitan bank and the National Bank
Of Washington. each of which alleged
itskeld overdue and unpaid paper of
Mr. WsEgoman's. the total amount
held by the three exceeding $4,000, OF
which 100000 is due to the metropolitan
bank. Mr.. Wagg0nan had been in
the real estate business here since
1873 and was reported generally to be
a man of large meaus- He was the
possessor of the finest private apt gal
lery in the city, and some comment
was caused several mouths ago when
brief annOUncement appeared in the
papers to TIE effect that his art works
had been turned over to the Catholic
university. At the time it was eX-
planned as a matter of convenience.
but it is stated now that security to
the university for money had TO do
with the matter.
Beside handling the moneys Of the
university Mr. WaggOmaa- controlled
large amounts of money in the aggTe-
gate belonging to other persons both
in this city and away from here and
il is stated that TO some extent at
least Mr.. .Waggoman's personal notes
were given as security TO those whose
money he controlled. For some years
he has been engaged in extensive Op-
eTatiens in the suburbs of Washington
! and he's had much capital tied up
/ thereby.
It is understood that some time ago
the authorities OF the Catholic univer-
sity became diSsa tisfied with the man
ner in which the funds of the institu-
ton in Mr.. WaggOman'S hands were
| INVESTED and secured, and after nego-
|, tiations between them a new arrange
ment was effected. This new arrange
ment was embodied in the settlement
in which the deed OF trust was a part.
The friends of the university say
they think that it viii lose nothing Il
the deed of trust recorded yesterday
can be sustained as against the gen.
eral creditors of Mr.. Waggoman.
