Mere Nipples of the Tide.

Havana.-While there remains some unrest in Cuba which Governor Ma goon describe, as the mere ripples of the receding tide of disorder" the adjustment of charges against the mayors and police of various towns is progressing very satisfactorily. The government regards the settle ment of the claims of rival candidates to the office of mayor as important. as they mark the first step in the com plete reorganization of the govern ment. The few cases still remaining under investigation will soon be dis posed of. After the reappointment of a mayor has been ratified by Governor Magoon 1t will be made by the proper provincial governor in accordance with the law. The complaints agains some provincial governors will be ad- judicated after thorough investigation by Gov. Magoon, who will make no ap- pointments until necessary. Moder- ates and Liberals in several towns are making counter charges of the coL- cealment of arms, but these matters are difficult to verify.

GATHERING OF BANKERS
THiRTY-sEcoNo ANNUAL MEET. ING CONFINES IN ST. LOUIS.
TO EXPAND ORGANIZATION
Association to Be Made Somethino More Than "Gtad Hand" Ad.
 junct 10 City Banks.

New York. N. Y.-Another stase tn the development of bankers con 'entions in the United States will be reached at St. Louis this week, when the bankers of the country will try to make the thirty second annual meeting of the American Bankers as- sociation, which begins Tuesday. at Hotel Jefferson, St Louis, more rep resentative of the banking fraternity than any meeting yet held
 When handful of bankers gath. cred in parlor of Saratoga hotel in 1874, the year after the disastrous panic, to consider the formation of a national body, there was seal cely enough interest felt in the affair to keep the organization alive year, For decade thereafter the associa- ton continued perfunctory sort of existence, with rather indifferent meetings and irregular attendance. The association did not become much of force in banking affairs until 1883, when ex-Secretary Gage, who was then vice president of the First National bank of Chicago, was pre- vailed upon to take the presidency.
 It took 14 years more of hard work to bring the organization efficiency to the point where the late Jos. c. Hendrix, then president of the old National Union bank of New York. since merged with the National Bank of Commerce, was able to give it real force at the Atlanta convention. Mir Hendrix extended it's activities, put zeal into the committees, and made an appeal to the banking fraternity to attend the meetings and promote the associations growth. To MT. Hendrix is undoubtedly due much oi the credit for upbuilding the organi- zation at a very critical period of it's history.
 The associ' tion will take up vari- ous other proposals for enlarging is work. It has strong membership and splendid plant, which might be utilized to greater advantage than anything yet attempted. As one of these engaged on the new plans said: We want to make the association something more than the glad hand adjunct of large city banks. We want to put life into it." v

PROGRESS AT
GOLD MOUNTAIN

A section which has been conspicu-
ously absent from the limelight is the
Gold Mountain district. There are a
number Of medium grade properties in
this locality upon which really tremen-
dous bodies OF ore have been shown to
exist and IL is only a question of a
short time when the district will come
strongly to the front.
Upon the ground of the Nevada Cold
field Mining Co. a Joint shaft is being
sunk and is now down 400 feet. The
shaft is a two compartment and will
be continued until water is encountered
which should be in the neighborhood
of 700 feet. Not until then will cross
cutting begin. II is expected from the
dip of the ledge that the shaft will cut
1t at about 500 feet. A number of tun-
nels have been run into the hill the
longest being about 500 feet, and sew
eral others 400 feet. Assays from the
surface return values of $40 At the
company's offices little is said other
than I'VE believe we will make a mine.
Az present we are not attempting any
but dead work. six months from now
we expect to have something to report"

days ago on the Pamlico claims, which

shaft is down 40 feet on this property
and one in the Crackerjacks is down SO
feet. Prospect work is going on vigor-
ously.
On the Kern and Mckay ground about
two miles from Tokop a ledge eight

at a depth of 90 feet. which assays $50.

The Gold Bridge property, owned by
AL. Finney, will some day be one of
the biggest mines in the state. There
are a number of large lodges which run
through the ground and can be traced
for thousands of feet. The writer WIS.,
tied this and other properties men,
toned and Mr.. Finney with repeated
Mornings showed the richness of the
ore. Considerable work has been done
on the property. Among others may be
mentioned the Little George company,
the Murray and Robinson, between
Gold Mountain and Lime Point, and the
Gold Crest. On all of these work is be-
ing carried steadily forward and values
are good. 1t is merely a question of
time when Gold Mountain will take
the center of the stage and in some cir
cles it is thought a considerable boom
will strike the place about the end of
the summer. Prospectors who know the
ground say that a great deal of good
ground is unclaimed.

NEVADA BULLrRoa.

Judge Peter ]. Somers and Lloyd w.
Pullen of Goldfeld arrived in Beatty
Tuesday of this week accompanied by
three miners to whom a contract has
been let to sink the shaft on the Ne
vada-Bullfrog to the 100-foot level.
After this depth has been reached act
i've drifting to the northeast will be
prosecuted with the expectation of
cutting an extensive tale vein, which
runs about 1885, on the surface. Drift
ing will also be carried on 20 the
southwest, where there is a large sur
face showing of quartz and where ex-
cellent values are expected.
Conditions at the property are ex-
tremely bright; several mining experts
having visited it within the last week,
who pronounced it one of the best in
the district.

PROGRESS OF THE
CLARK RAILROAD

The Clark railroad from Las Vegas
has practically completed it's grade to
Gold Center and is grading between that
place and Beatty and between Beatty
n Rhyolite. The track is laid to
within As miles of Beatty and Bullfrog
and trains have been run as far as
Johnny Siding where a station was this
week established for the new town of
Johnny. The rails are being laid at a
rate of between one and two miles a
day. 1t is estimated that about ninety
lays will transpire before the road
reaches Rhyolite, owing to the large
amount of work entailed in crossing
the mountains. Passenger traffic will
be arranged for to the intermediate
points very soon now.
The Smith road to be known as the
Tonopah and 1idewater is now COM
pleted to within perhaps seventy miles
of Beatty. A party of engineers for the
Bullfrog and Goldfeld road is now max
ing the final survey.

GOLD BUTTE HAS
IMPORTANT STRIKE

The Gold Butte, New, district has re-
corded it's first big strike and judging
from information received from there
this morning, which came in the shape
of a letter from Supt. j. F. Gibbs, con-
veying the most pleasing information
that the tunnel now being driven to
develop the property of the Gold Butte
had cut the Nevada assure, one of the
six which crop at the surface, at a dis
lance in of 1877 feet. The management
had not anticipated from the start that
this fissure would prove to be of any
great Importance any more than to
show a continuance, as 1t did not have
width of to exceed a foot on the sur
face. But it appears from what Mr..
Gibbs says there has been a genuine
surprise sprung; that the assure has
widened to between s and 10 feet. that
the whole mass pans well and all
through it particles of free gold are Wis
ible without the aid of a glass. Mr..
Gibbs says the ore lies between two well
defined walls, and while he does not in
dictate that he has found anything SEN
s%ational, he does state that the ore car
ries splendid mill values. After pass
sing through the Nevada assure several
feet, Mr.. Gibbs says, another small one
was cut which also appears to carry
good values in gold.-Reno Journal.

that the Nevada and California road

was rebuilt, Hawthorne was eliminated
from the road, which was Strengthened
out at the lower end of the lake, elm
mating the long, heavy grade. which

Last week several Southern Pacific
surveyors were surveying a new line

says, several side tracks.
During the past several months the
mining districts about Hawthorne have
undergone a marked revival

Great Suffering Unavoidable and the
Outlook Gloomy.

Washington, D. c., May An a
telegram to the war department re-
ceived this morning, Gen. Greely says:
1.-The number of destitutes being
fed is enormous, aggregating today,
May 3rd, 1851 in San Francisco.
Apparently conservative estimates
placed the destitute refugees at 10000
in Oakland and Berkeley. How
these terrible conditions are to be met
is the subject of most earnest cons1d-
Grafton between Chairman Devine Of
the finance committee and myself and
while the exertions of the army to re-
Suce all to the smallest possible limit
mas effected an important readjust-
rnent YET the solution of the situation
without enormous suffering appears
impossible. While daily hoping for q
great decrease in the number Of desti-
tute, am now confident that the far
reaching extent Of the disaster cannot
he appreciated without personal OBJ
scrvatjcn."
