BANKER LOSES HEART
TO CALIFORNIA; CHARMS


e. ]. Knight, wealthy banker of
Providence, r. l., now at the Alexan-
dria, has come to the same happy or
unhappy state as many visitors who
come from the east-he has lost his
heart, and California has it in her
keeping. Mr Knight came west to
look at mining properties In Nevada
and when he left home last June 1t
was with the firm resolve that he
would not remain away more than
three weeks at the lost.
He has been in Nevada Investigating
properties there almost ever since and
now he says he is going back east just
long enough to get his family and
bring them to Los Angeles for the
winter.
Mr.. Knight is president of the Chi
quita Mining company and In addition
to the properties in which he is in
terested in Nevada he has mines in
Mexico and Arizona. IT believe that
the mineral belt which extends through
Nevada, Arizona and down into Mex
leo will prove the greatest mineral
belt in the world" said he.
II have the utmost faith in the fu-
ture of Nevada and predict that many
millionaires will be made there in the
years to come. 1 came west intend
ing to make flying trip, but some
no avail. 1 am here, and though
cannot stay long this time I am only
leaving that l may return for the
entire winter.
you Los Angeles people are great
boosters. 1 started to talk business
with a man today, but he could not
tear his mind away from the glories
of California long enough to think lof
anything else. After all cannot blame
you, for you have got country worth
calling home-a country that is worth
boosting"
With Mr.. Knight is Frank Sullivan
of Colorado Springs, a well-known
mining expert.

1--WE have been in Canada, British
Columbia, Washington oregon and
now we IRE learning a little of the
wonders of California" said Mr.. Fay,
when seen last night in the corridors
of the alexandria.
"The trip is simply for pleasure and
us for the time being. We have been
travelling since May and are charmed

more people do not come west instead
Of taking European trips The west
is so young and vigorous it does one
good to come here, and the people are
sort of human tonic"
