LOCAL CROWD DRAWS
PRIZE AT PHONOLITE

During the past few months a number
of Salt Lake and outside Utah opera
tors have followed Sam A King and
stood behind him in the requirement OF
ground in some of the Nevada camps.
At Phonolite, where some remarkably fine
properties are being developed, Mr.. King
and his associates have landed property
which, according to the map of the dis
trict and the lines of development 2lOng
the mineral-bedring dykes, will surely
result in the opening of a mine, and
possibly several.
About a mile west of the town of Pho
nOlite r. f. BTuner & CO. of Kansas City,
who control the MohaWk-Duluth IN
pany, operating the Amethyst Extension
ground, have opened up a mine that car
ries ore running into the thousands OF
dollars per ton Adjoining this ground
on the north are several claims owned
by Mr. King and his associates and upon
which a company is now being former
for mining purposes.
Yesterday the 1crOwd was all excited
because of telegram that had just been
received from T. II. Dalton. a prOmi-
nent business man Of Austin, telling that
a big strike had just been made in the
Paymaster property, about 1,5o0 feet NORTH
Of the Amethyst Extension and on the
northern boundaries of the claims owned
by the King syndicate. On the Paymas-
ter men had been running a tunnel TO

The strike establishes the continuity of
the ledge from the Amethyst ground to
the Paymaster and means that the King
syndicate cannot fail to have the same
vein for 1,5G0 feet in its property.

The Bank Statement.

New York, Aug. 31.-The Financier will
say: Last weeks official statement of
the New York Associated banks was a
somewhat remarkable exhibit for several
reasons. The decrease in loans was sur
prising, considering that there had been
a fairly buoyant stock market at generally
advanced prices during the week; the
small loss shown may, however, have
been due to the augmentation in the vol
ume of foreign loans. through finance
bills which fullysme borrowing require
ments.
The cash loss closely corresponds with
estimates made upon the basis of the
traceable movements of money during the
week such agreements between the esti-
mated and the actual results has been
unusual of late. The loss in cash was
s., 651 900. General deposits decreased 81

reduced $431, $50, deducting which from the
cash decrease left S1.219.950 as the reduo-

New York. Aug. 31.-Speculative senti-
ment has perceptibly improved during the
week and the stock market had given
evidence of having arrived at an over

prices was largely due to covering of
shorts. but the pressure to sell was de-
cidedly diminished. The United States
treasury's plan of relief of the money
market by weekly deposits of government
funds with national banks during the

good effect on financial sentiment.
