ANNIVERSARY BALL
DANCE ON THE SIN
TENTH.

The Knights of Columbus will give
their first anniversary ball on the
night of the 10th at Miners hall.
The organization, which has been in
existence only a year has made rap

The hall is going to be handsome
ly decorated for the occasion, and
the function is going to be something
that will long be remembered in Ton
opah. The committee of arrange
ments is now hard at work making
preparations for the affair, and there
is no doubt that their efforts will be
crowned with success, when the per-
sonnet of the committee is consider
ed. Among those who are actively
working for the success of the af-
fair are Judge J. P. O'Brien, Ed
Malley, JOS Mclaughlin, Puddy

BAZAAR WAS
GRAND SUCCESS

uGHTFCL ENTERTAIN.
MENT.

The bazaar OF the ST Marks guild
at the Miners hall was an unqualified
success. socially. financially and from
point OF attendance. From 7;30
o'clock until shortly after 10 the la
dies at the booths dispensed their
wares. and they had jolly customers
and lots of them. The majority of
the customers were of the gentler
sex. and they were sure of getting
good bargains; but the members of
the sterner sex stood near. and had
the proud privilege of settling the
bills.
All the while the bazaar was in
session an orchestra of four pieces
was dispensing sweet music, and this
helped the buying, making the peo-
pie forget their troubles, if they had
any. At 10 o'clock, dancing was be-
gun, and kept up for an hour and a
half, and this was not the least en-
joyable part of the entertainment
So the affair was a most complete
success from all standpoints

OFFER MADE TO
REOPEN BANKS
NoNIED MEN oF RENO MAX. A
PRoPosITIoN To PREsI.
DENT RICKEY.

An offer Is To be made to take over
the affairs OF the State Bank and
Trust corporation and pay the depos-
itors dollar for dollar. This agree
ment was reached at a meeting held
here yesterday afternoon. The ses-
sion was attended by Richard Kir-
man and Judge G. f. Mack of Reno
and J. b. Overton of Seattle and II.
NJ. German of Los Angeles. The two
latter gentlemen arrived here yester-
day morning to attend the session.
These gentlemen are directors of the
old State Bullion Exchange bank of
Carson. This institution was taken
over some years ago by the State
Bank and Trust company, thus max
ing its Carson bank one of the
strongest in the state.
The offer decided upon at yester-
days meeting will probably be made
to President Hickey at Carson today.
Up to midnight he had not been in
formed of any action taken.
AS to the proposition that will be
made to President Hickey no an
nouncement was made last night.
Judge Mack, the legal adviser of
those who attended the meeting,
gave it as his opinion that if Presi-
dent Hickey will accept their offer
the banks of the State Bank and
Trust company will be opened inn
mediately. Those who attended the
meeting today said Judge Mack,
have ample capital, and in the event
our offer is approved they will pro-
vide ample funds to satisfactorily
settle every obligation of the Trust
company and place that institution
upon sound basis We have moth
ing but the friendliest feeling toward
President Hickey and all the direct
ors of the State Bank and Trust COM
pany and are prompted by the best
interests of all concerned to make
this offer. Nevada State Journal

DUCK CREEK Mine
SHIPPING AGAIN

The third shipment from the Lead
King property, in the Duck Creek re-
gion, reached the Salt Lake market
last week and the returns were graf
flying in the extreme. The last con-
Segment, consisting of 22,50O
pounds, compared favorably with the
previous lots, averaging 20 per cent
lead and carrying values in silver.
On account of its lead contents the
ore commands a handsome premium
and will net the company in the
neighborhood of $500. When nor
NAL conditions prevail enlarged ship
ments of this character of rock will
be sent regularly to the Salt Lake
shelters.
Superintendent Fred Vickers now
has force of eight men working on
ore in the Morning Star and Grey
Eagle workings and will continue to
send out small lots of high grade
during the winter. Arrangements
have been made with the smelter at
McGill whereby the ore can be load
ed on sidetrack about a mile dis
tant from the mine and sent to the
American Smelling and Refining
company without delay. The Lead
King directors have made an agree
ment with the smelter named to sell
it all of the lead ores extracted from
the Duck creek mines. The exact
tonnage of this production cannot
now be given, but it is certain to be
large when the properties are more
thoroughly developed.
]. F. Brim, prominent in l.evada
mining circles for so many years is
in Salt Lake on business connected
with the Oswego group. This prop
erty adjoins the Lead King and was
the rst group located by Mr.. Brim In
the Duck creek country. A small
force of men is now engaged in sink
ing shaft on the property, and it is
the intention to continue active oper-
ations during the winter. With this
object in view, bunk and boarding
houses have been built to accommo-
date the men and other preparations
are being made accordingly. 1t is
hoped that the Oswego will be among
the early shippers in the spring.
Mr.. Brim states that there is a
great deal of activity in the Duck
creek region and is very optimistic
over the future of the district. Al
ready there are number of good
producers and many that give great
promise for the near future.-Des-

RANDOLPH WANTS
HIS Coin BACK

Los ANGELES, Dec. 5.-Colonel
Epes Randolph filed suit today
against Colonel Lycurgus Lindsay to
enforce his demand for a settlement
of the differences in the sums adj
vanced by the two in the exploita-
ton of the Inflated Llanos d'Oro
Mining company, the amount sued
for being $26,7S4. The company
was organized nearly two years ago
to develop gold and copper on prop
erty situated in the State of Sonora,
Mexico
Such was the rich promise of the
concern that numerous railroad men
and many financiers invested large
sums in the venture. Stock sales to
the amount of nearly 100000 were
made and all the money went into
development work, which included
the installation of a big stamp mill
and a reduction plant.
In addition to what the stock
holders had invested, and from
which not cent was realized, RAN
dolp and Lindsay are alleged to have
entered into private agreement by
the terms of which they were to
share the expense of further develop
ing the property. Randolph alleges
that he put more than $4,000 into
the hole in the ground and Lindsay
contributed only about $4,000. Now
Randolph sues for the difference.

The mining of anthracite coal in
Pennsylvania began about 1890, and
it is said that fifty-five tons were
shipped to Columbia, Pa, in 1907.
Reports of the anthracite coal trade
are usually begun with the year
1920, when 365 tons Zone for each
day of the YEAR, were shipped to
Philadelphia from the Lehigh re-
gion. Before this, however, ship
ment of twenty-five tons was made
from Carbondale, also to Philadel-
phia. 1t is probable that the actual
production prior to 1920 was be-
tween $500 and 1900 tons.
