Many Changes Made in the Manufac-
 turers' National Bank.

The Manufacturers National bank has re arranged it's banking quarters in the Lewis block, Bank street, con- verting 1t into much more desir- able place for that kind of business than ever before, the floor space be- ing used to the best possible advan- tage and the light from the Win dows and doors rendered available in all parts of the quarters On entering the bank you ind a large and exceedingly well lighted lobby and a long counter runs in curve across the lobby with four windows; two for receiving deposits and two for paying.
 The counter as well as all of the fixtures were made by the Derby Desk Co of Somerville, Mass, of quartered oak, and is the best piece of work or it's kind in the city.
 The grill work is of Pompeian bronze The floors of tile were iald by c. A. Jackson & Co.
 On either side of the lobby is large glass top desk for the custom ers' use.
 The working part is arranged in a most convenient manner for the prompt handling of business. The whole room has been re-dec- | orated by the Waterbury Decorating Co in light green, giving a very pleasing effect.
 The Manufacturers National bank was chartered in 1880, commencing business in the Jones & Morgan building. They moved to their pres ent quarters in 1o97. E. L. Frisbie, president, and Crarles F. Mitchell, vice president, have been with the bank since it's organization. Archie E. Lord, cashier, entered the employ of the bank about eleven years ago.

Gee. II Was CoIdI


There is moro or less discussion ps TO
when tho the thermometers OF Elko marked
the coolest day ever experienced hero.
\ good many claim that it was during
the hard winter OF 1889 and 90 when 90
much stock perished in the county. In
order to settle the dispute and give the
lnte comers IN idea Of what kind of
weather Elko sometimes has, we quote
the following record mnde by Mr.. g. W.
Grover, ST., who then edited the INDIE
PENDENT:
Jan. 0, 1888, the thermometer stood
at 90 degrees below zero at 6 a. IN.
Jan. 10, 1888, the thermometer regis
tered from 50 to 81 degrees below zero
at 6 o'clock in the morning"
Mr.. Grover then added this note: aThe
coolest weather ever known in Nevada.
Jan. Oh was a clear. bright, sunny day,
no wind, yet the thermometer never got
above so degrees below zero during the
day. Jan. lith the thermometer never
got above zero, though the dry was still
aud clear"
Jan. 10. 1888, was Sunday, and in
Mondays issue Of the INDEPENDENT Mr..
Grover said:
The Arctic climate still continues,
yesterday morning beating the record
when the thermometer indicated a tenn
peraturc OF 90 to 81 degrees below zero.
Yesterday was clear and bright, not
withstanding which the highest notch
reached during the warmest portion of
the day was = degrees below zero. This
morning thermometers showed only 40
degrees below, and the people are con-
graduating themselves with the thought
that it is moderatinQ.
Trains have been delayed, stock has
persisted and much suffering has been
caused by the severe cold which exceeds
anything ever experienced in this eli
mate. Yesterdays westbound passenger
train was delayed Mt Kelton several
hours IN consequence OF water pipes on
the engine freezing, and No. 9, the west
bound mail train, did o put in an
appearance at all. The citizens Of
Eastern Nevada will have cause 10
remember the cold January Of 1885,"
In the issue OF Friday following We
lind the following: 1.-The effects OF the
recent severe cold on stock is becoming
apparent. W. learn that in Pine Valley
nineteen horses in a band Of twenty-five
persisted, and on South Fork twenty
Tour cattle out OF twenty.nino froze to
death last Sunday night"
