WINGFIELD AND NIXON
OFFER FORTUNES; MINES
ARE TO PAY DIVIDENDS
By Associated Press.

GOLDFIELD. Oct. 24-George Wing
field today authorized the statement that
he and Senator Nixon would pledge their
entire fortunes for the protection of the
four banks in which they are interested.
These banks are at Reno, Tonopah,
Goldfield and Rhyolite. The Goldfield
Consolidated was forced to lay off a
large number of miners today by reason
of the refusal of the sampling works TO
accent ore. The samplers say the new
rule put into effect by the smeiters makes
ii almost impossible for them to do bust-
ness for the time being, orNuntil they can
adjust themselves to the new conditions
imposed.
The smelters have ruled that they will
take forty-five days in settlement for
ores purchased. AS 1t takes on an aver
age thirty days for ore to reach the
smelter after shipment. the samplers
which settle with the producers on de-
livery and sampling of ore would have
to wait from seventy to ninety days foT
their money from the smelters. AS
shipments have been very heavy to the
samplers lately they could not continue
business without readjustment OF their
finances
special train from San francisco
bearing $500000 in gold for the John S.
Cook bank, reached Goldfield early this
evening. This places the amount on hand
in the Cook bank at nearly A.ooO,OOO suffi-
cient to meet 80 per cent of all claims
against the bank.
Governor Sparks has issued proclama-
ton declaring a five-day holiday In all
Nevada banks. Officials of the Nye &
Ormsby and Cook banks announced that
they would reopen Tuesday and pay all
obligations.
The Nye & Ormshy county bank at
Reno, of which the Goldfield institution
is branch gathered in more than
81 ZOO. 900 in reserves during the day.
There was general feeling of relief
with the declaring OF the holiday, as II
will give ample time for retrenchmen'
and was the means of preventing the
ruin of many Nevada securities which
would have been wrought by the banks
throwing their collateral on the marker
to avoid hypothecation.
The Consolidated Mines company viii
nay its dividend of 10 cents per share
amounting to $3.50, 900. tomorrow.
The Mohawk Jumbo Leasing company
will nay 100000 In dividends. Bids were
made on the street for the paper OF the
different banks during the day, but all
were refused and offers of and pei
cent discount were passed up.
John s. Cook, cashier of the Cook bank
offers to show any depositor the books
of the bank to back UP his assertion that
1t can meet all claims.
The ore on hand and the plant of the
Nevada Goldheld Reduction company
were attached at noon today by the
Mohawk Combination Leasing COM
pany, a corporation operating lease
on the Mohawk. The leasing COM
pany claims $4,000 for ore unsettled
for Checks of the company for $4,000
were turned down yesterday by the

MINING STOCKS STRONG
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24-President
A. B. Ruggles of the San Francisco
stock exchange today received a tele-
gram from the Tonopah stock exchange,
announcing that it had closed for the
rest of the week.
1t was urged that the San Francisco
board close it's doors for similar pc
ricd.
Rugges replied that the keeping open
of the local exchange would demonstrate
to the east the confidence Of the people
OF this city in the stability of Nevada
securities. He added that the local mar
ket was improving today and that the
banks here were sound and confident.
There was a softening of prices In the
Nevada shares this morning under rather
heavy selling but in the afternoon there
was some buying and the trading showed
an improved tone. On the final curl
business was still better and a strong
feeling was manifest.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-Trading in the
stock exchange today opened with a
cheerful tone on the more encouraging
news regarding the financial situation in
New York and the prices of Americans
started at one point above parity. Buy
ing orders from New York and the COW
ering of local bears steadily drove quo
tations upward and by noon Union Pa
cific and Canadian Pacific were points
over the New York equivalent, while
Southern Pacific and United States Steel
received considerable attention at over
point advances.
PARIS, Oct A.-The house cleaning in
Wall street is having a sentimental
rather than practical effect here. OPP
orators on the bourse are closely watch
ing the situation. They consider that
American financial conditions are sound
at the base and regard the situation as
the inevitable elimination of an era OF
intense commercial activity and over
speculation.

The Prohibition Wave.

FROM the cameron observer.
The growth Of prohibition sentiment
Id this country is one OF the remark
able features OF the present era OF
moral endeavor. There is no mlstak.
ing the fact that the people OF the
smallest towns OF the country, state
and nation have been influenced by
the continued propaganda, maintain
ed by the men and women who have
pledged themselves TO give the liquor
interests a fight to q finish. Certainly
this propaganda Is aided by the pre-
sent willingness OF the American peo-
pie TO lend their ears 70 every suggest
ion relative to their economic, physi-
cal and moral well being. The liquor
dealers convention recognized that
fact several months ago, when the
convention speakers expressed alarm
at the growth OF the temperance SEN
timent and suggested that steps should
BE- taken to educate the republic In
regard to the value Of stimulants
taken at the right time and In proper
quantities.
The extent Of this prohibition move
ment need not be underrated by those
who are inclined to regard it IS one Of
the alleged symptoms of existing re-
form. Capt. J. q. Capers, the com.
missioner OF internal revenue who has
just returned to Washington from an
extended trip through the country, is
authority for the statement that the
prohibition movement, coupled with
the demand Of banks, railroads and
the general attitude Of society, has SO
decreased the consumption Of liquor
Ia given sections Of the country, that.
the need for deputy internal revenue
collectors have diminished. The
movement has gone to such an extent
that the commission OF internal re-
venue may feel warranted 10 combiu.
ing many OF the revenue districts Of
the south and middle western states
When the liquor traffic causes less en-
pense To municipal state and federal
government 1t is evident that the pro-
hibition movement is making definite
progress.

FARMERS GRADE TIE ROAD.
The Highways Of Caldwell County
Kept in Good Condition all Year.

The farmers OF Caldwell counties

movement in a way that is accom-.
plishing results, according To Roy A,
Mccoy, county clerk Of Caldwell

Caldwell county has a road tax and
every year this tax is expended In i'm.
proving the public roads with the big
graders" Mr.. Mccoy said yesterday.
"Each farmer along the public high
ways owns q large drag and after the
road is graded the farmers go over 1t
with the drags and seem to take pride
In keeping the roads, adjoining their
farms, in good condition. This pro-
vides a reasonably good road all the
time.

roads down there, but we have quit
