road Men Ask for Clear
ing Hose Checks.

Washington, Nov. a prominent
treasury official said today that he
had been In communication by tele-
phone with several New York bankers
and that they reported the situation
very noticeably improved The mon
ey stringency he said, was gradually
but certainly relaxing and the banks
were resuming the shipments of con-
siderable amounts of currency into
the interior. The demand of the
banks for additional circulation con
tinues unabated and the amounts al.
ready taken out are said to have had
a marked effect towards relieving the

compared with last week.

and railroad men have joined In an ap
peal to the Clearing House for checks
as the only means Of Offering immedi
ate relief in the close market. Not on.
ly Chicago merchants, but bankers
outside Of Chicago are asking for such
checks to meet the various demands.
The recent tying-up Of currency is
beginning to have marked effect Up.
on bank dealings and is resulting in
restricted trade. At some Of the big
stores trade has fallen off to such an
extent that travelling statesmen have
been called in.

a daily average Of forty-six million dol.
lars In checks to thirty.four million
dollars.

A great strike has been made
eighty-hve miles to the northeast Of
Tonopah. lust where. the l%ocators
will not say al this time. They have
only three locations. but that Is
enough. according to their notions OF
sufhcieney The discoveries are Jack
Kendall and Jim Sloan, old time
prospectors, and they have brought
in samples Of the ore that they have
uncovered. and the ore looks like the
goods.
More than that the assays tell a
most interesting story. The men
have returns from two OF their
claims. The ore from the Silver Dol
lar claim goes 1924, and from the
Rainbow claim sl7714. On the lat
ter claim is a huge boulder. weighing
about two tons. and Kendall and
Kendall and Sloan Clipped off a
sample of this. and the return from
that was $76.56.
Just a block Of ore, and nothing
more, said Mir, Sloan. that's wha'
that rock Is. Kendall was out there
for two years, and ! have been Out
there for five weeks. We struck tins
find about ten days ago, and It wai
funny to Jack that he had to wal

covery. But then he told me tina
he had not yet %prospected the groun'
and that was easy to believe after
