At the Treasury Tunnel in the
Ouray district. large force is mining
ore, and 1t will soon be on the list OF
heavy shippers. A new compressor
has been added and work is progress.
inG rapidly, both on the main bore,
which is in over 5000 feet, and on the
Handicap vein, which shows ten feet
of ore running better than nineteen.
Various new veins have been cut in
the last 500 feet that realize the anti.
c;pations OF the owners. II is expected
the mill will be running by January
1st.
During the past season fourteen mills
In San Juan county alone were in nc.
tive operation and with one or two pos.
sible exceptions will continue to oper-
ate during the winter months. or the
idle during the summer, nearly all un-
dergoing repairs. at least three will be
active during the winter: the Conten-
tion to treat Arpad ores. the Iowa to
treat Iowa-Tiger minerals and tho
Little Dora to handle the product OF
the Hercules properties, and ere the
middle OF November the great steel
mill In Animas Forks. with it's 500.ton
capacity, will be grinding out gold and
concentrates from the Gold Prince
mine.
The Florence & Cripple Creek Rail.
road Company has begun work on n
spur to the portal OF the Moffat tunnel
In Cripple Creek gulch to handle the
enormous production Of the I.ittlc
Clara lease OF Marsh. Hodges & Com.
pany. There has been great conges.
ton OF ore on account of the bad condi.
ton OF the wagon road. Despite this
fact the Little Clara produced ore to
the value Of $4,000 In October, and It
Is estimated by the operators that they
will be able to increase this output by
at least flfty per cent. this month by
the aid OF the new railway. The lease
expires In April and It IL expected that
100000 worth OF ore will have been
mnrketed from the property by that
time.

PEOPLES LOBBY FAVORED BY The PRESIDENT.

The president is deeply interested in the

organizing which several wellknown investigators

to this movement of safeguarding the interests of
the public against the maevoent influence of
special interests was delayed until John Bronson

the ideas of the president on the subject and con-

The important matter Is the selection OF a

HUNDREDS OF BANKS TO EACH MAN.

There are rs bank examiners to examine
1855 national banks. Last year these examiners
made total of 11.1l6 examinations Anybody
will see from these figures that an examiner does
not lnger long over any one bank.
What the examiner does is to look over the
securities check up the amount of loans and dis
counts. see what proportion they bear to the cap
ital ard assets and generally to make sure that
the books of the bank do not show anything con-
trary to the national banking act. The examina.
tion is in fact more check on the officers way
of doing business than precaution against actual
dishonesty.
National banks are not supposed 20 be ex.
amined oftener than twice year. And then all
that is necessary, in most cases. Is That the rec
ords may appear all right. Among the assets

BANK EXAMINATIONS ARE NOT THOROUGH.

Do bank examiners examine? Is their exam
ination worth anything? Is the public protected
against loss by their work?
Such questions as these are inevitably sug
gested to the average man by disclosures like
those in Chicago recently, in connection with the
failure of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank; in
connection with the Philadelphia failure and the
Pittsburg bank thefts
No bank inspection will protect the public
against downright dishonesty on the part of the
banks officers
This may be taken the official and final
statement of the comptroers office. Banking
always has been and always will be a business in
which the head of the bank must be trusted and
trustworthy.
II has been shown repeatedly that collusion
between two officials in a bank Tor sometimes
