PEOPLE ARE SIGNING
The AGREEMENT
DIRECTORS or BANK FOLLOW IN
THE WAKE OF PRESI-
DENT RICKEY.

The signing OF the agreement OF
the State Bank and Trust company Is
going ahead. and the days when the
bank will reopen are growing less.
President T, b. Hickey has pledged
his private fortune to the payment
OF the depositors, and now it is stat
ed, upon what seems to be good
authority that the directors of the
bank have followed in the wake Of
Mr.. Hickey. and have also pledged
their fortunes for the same purpose
The directors are DR.. S. l.. Lee, State
Senator j.. p. Woodbury., Wills
Brougher, G.. w. Mapes, Alfred Liv-
ingston. c. T. Bender, p. II. Peter
son and George Meyers. With all
these men behind the bank with their
individual fortunes, there is little
chance of the depositors losing any
money.
It is understood that the Nye and
Ormsby bank, which Is pursuing the
same policy as the other, is succeed
ing in having the agreement signed
up by the %depositors. Neither bank is
prepared TO say when its doors shall
open, and that will depend upon the
CELEBRITY with which the depositors
sign up.
notwithstanding that both he
State Bank and Trust company and
the Nye and ormsby have their doors
closed, still their depositors have
been able to have some use of their
funds. There are people here who are
willing to accept checks on the banks
If they can have the assurance that
the funds are in the bank. This as
surance will be given by the banks
upon application, and this is helping
some. The State Bank is checking
off the amounts that are reported,
and the man who accepts checks
waits for the money instead of the
depositor.

A few days ago a strike of ore was
made near the Mccarthy property
that eelipses anything before found
in the camp. The ledge is large and
the ore shows any quantity of visible
gold.

GOLD CRATER Is
LOOMING UP RAPIDLY
MANHATTAN PROPERTY HAS
TONS OF MILLING
ORE.

Hardly a days goes by without
bringing something good in the way
of news from Manhattan. l.. J..
Mushett adds to the good fortune of
the camp in the way OF development
in the Gold Crater, in which he and
w. S. Johnson and others are inter-
ested.
Mr.. Mushett has two assays, which
upon their face do not look very big,
or convey their Importance. They
are both from the Gold Crater. One
goes $tS.G4, This was taken from
a shaft which has been sunk to a
dept hof ffty-fve feet, and vas then
discontinued.
The depth from which this as
say was taken was between fifteen
and twenty-five feet" said Mr.. Mus
hets, and this is as far as We can
with safety go down into the shaft.
The assay was taken from seventy
fe pounds Ct rock taken from var
ious places in the shaft for the pur-
pose of getting an average milling
value. We have at least, 1905 GEO
tons of the rock. and we are going
to ship 1t to the Chapman mill as
soon as that plant is ready for oper-
alton. This is not a very big show
ing, but 1t is only one of many to be
round In Manhattan. II means ready
money, and that is what we are look
IN gfor. As soon as the mills are in
operation there will be lots Of this
Kind of rock reduced, for it will cost
less than 50 to mill and haul It. and
there are thousands of tons on tn
dump. A profit of $40 a ton is good
in any country.
The other assay runs something
over S11 a ton. We have eighteen
rect of this, and we have by no mean
found the good values. The ledge is
a continuation of the Stray Dog
and Union No. 9 vein. We are down
ninety feet, and will sink to a depth
OF $50 feet, at which depth we ex-
pect to encounter the main ledge,

BILLS REASON.

Hugo Osterhaus, the new captain
of the battleship Connecticut, prais-
ed at a dinner in New York the old
salt of the past.
He has disappeared" said Cap
tain Osterhaus sadly. I'VE made fun
of him. and before u ridicule he
blushed and vanished.
Such stories as we used to tell of
him. One, for instance, dealt with
an old s~hellback's beard.
Why is it. Bill a youth asked
the old fellow, that you shave
your upper lip clean?'
Well, We See Bill answered, "a

TONOPAH engineer
WILL WE'D NURSE
MRS. ELSA LITTLEFIELD TO BE.
COME MRS. FRANK
DARRAGH.

Frank Darragh, an engineer at the
Mizpah mine, will be a passenger on
this mornings train, his destination
being Eureka, California, where h.
is TO be married on Thanksgiving
day to Mrs. Elsa Littlefeld.
A pretty romance lies behind the
engagement. Mr.. Darragh was
stricken with pneuomnia, and was
taken to the Miners hospital. Mrs.
Littlefeld vas a nurse at the hos
pital, and fate willed it that she
should have charge OF Mr.. Darragh's
case. She was unremitting in her
attention, and her nursing was more
than half the battle, The patient
came through his illness all right,
but pneumonia was succeeded by an
affection of the heart. When he left
the hospital he was the afianced
husband Of his pretty nurse.
Mrs. Littlefield left shortly after
ward for her home in Eureka, Cali
fornia, with the promise Of her be-
trothed to follow soon, and with the
day Of their wedding set for the
twenty-eighth of this month. So Mr..
Darragh leaves this morning to cross
the desert and scale the mountains,
then to be tossed upon the tempestu-
Gus seas, to finally sail into the port
of happiness cross the Humboldt
bar.

VIEW Is
A GREAT COUNTRY

n. w. Willis, a prominent attorney
of Yerington, who is in Reno on bus
mess, speaks g~lowingly OF the Noun
tain View mining district, located
fourteen miles east of Yerington on
the reservation line.
On the Mountain View the ore
runs from $40 to $5S7 per ton, and
quantities will go $3.50. Eight men
are employed.
They are fifty feet down on the
Mountain View. and it is all milling
ore from the surface. 1t runs from

GOLD IS right
AT THEIR DOORS

Mining for gold with splendid re-
,,,lts in the very heart of the Yering-
ION district is the diversion offered
~ the Native Copper company.
The writer was shown this week
come of the ore that has been en-
conntered. 1t is a white quartz,
showing the yellow metal plastered
mon it. One of the specimens is as
fine a piece OF picture ore as n
would want to see.
The discovery of gold on the es-
rate of the Native Copper company is
not a new one, although the facts
have Just come to light. Some
months ago j. II. Rhodes a stock
holder in the company, found a piece
10 float which, upon being broken
omen. showed gold in the native state.
Mr.. Rhodes Is a man of means and
has seen many years of mining ex-
p%erience. Instead of returning to his
home at Eel Campo, he went to work
to locate the ledge and succeeded.
On the surface the vein appeared
as a stringer. Now, at a depth of
ten feet, the lead is az feet wide,
through which runs a seam of the
rich stuff. 1t is only fair to say that
the vein is much broken up, the gold
occurring in pockets. However, the
belief is expressed that at further
depth when the solid formation is
reached, the ledge will prove strong
and well defined.
Thus it would appear that a COM
pany whose holdings have received
little or no attention is in reality one
Of the best propositions in the DIS
trict. no assays of the gold ledgss
have been made. the eye being able
10 Judge of It's quality.
In the different workings of the
Native Copper, consisting of -four
tunnels driven to various distances
gold has invariably been associated
with the red metal running from a
trace 10 SO per ton. In the main
tunnel, now in 125 feet, an S-inch
vein parallels the big copper ledge
which, from assays made, shows the
top value OF Sc,
AS to the copper showing itself.
it may be said that the company Is
proving It's acreage TO be Of high
class order On the Native Copper

THE SPRINGS BROKE
Vehicle Tipped and Occupants
 Had a Narrow Escape.

If,Nicola Spadola, who keeps a fruit store on Scovill street has not charmed life, then those who saw the accident in which he figured on Meadow street this afternoon about Fl o'clock have another think com ing. Nick and friend drove their wagon. which Is light one, to the wholesale house of Warren L. Hall. They did not receive what they were after. and proceeded to get into their wagon. They jumped in all right but as they were turning the horse around the front springs seemed to give way. the wagon backed against the curb and a moment later the ve- hicle tipped. Both of the occupants were thrown out and though Nick's friend fell on safe territory, the horse which also took tumble, rolled on top of Nick. The man let forth a groan and the horse which was still partly on its owner, was making no effort to get up. With the help of Fred Brodeur, one of the striking checkers, employed at Halls, Spadola was finally pulled out of the mix up, and strange to say the only injury received was bruised leg and bas- tered hand The mans body was rather sore but no serious injury was sustained After getting the animal on its feet Spadola and his friend again got on the wagon and drove away. The six or seven people who witnessed the accident looked after the men and tried to figure what it would take to kill man with the luck of Spadola.

THE LATHROP CASE
Judge Gager Hearing Appeal To-
 Day in Superior Court.

The case Judge Gager was engaged on in the supeior court to-day was the appeal of Edwin U. Lathrop from the decision of Judge K. A. Lowe in the probate court ordering him to file an inventory of the estate of his deceased wife Esther. Mir Lathrop contended through his counsel Colonel Burpee, that his wife left no property, because what she was possessed of she gave to him before his death. His son, Harry, who Is the plaintiff in the case claims that Mrs Lathrop, his mother, left about $3.000 and that his father the defendant, always told him that some day he would receive a part of his money.
 The plaintiff, Lathrop, while on the stand testified that his father gave him a gold watch, but whether it cost $50 he could not say.
 He denied pawning the watch for S10. but admitted that he sold it, for how much he could not recall. He did not remember his father buying or redeeming the watch for him. He had not the watch now, and don't know where it is.
 Fifteen years ago. he testified. his father told him his mother had left money and that he would one day fall in for 1t. Once while he was in Mamaroneck N. Y., running a saloon there, he wrote his father for $1,000 and the answer he got was that he could not have in then. He always believed, he said that some day he would get $1000 from his mothers es- tate.
 Two bank books that were owned by Mrs Lathrop were introduced. showing that in 1885 two sums of S1,9O0 and $500 were drawn from the bank by Mir Lathrop.

 A parade was held last night in which a number of lodges partici- pated. This was followed by a ban quet in Harmonic hall.
 Grand Secretary Hagerty's report showed that the subordinate courts of Foresters of the state have in their possession S246.44T.2S. which is gain of $2s.4T3.6s for the term.

 The grand chief ranger said in his report:
 The membership of the grand court on June %. 1905. was 20.97s The membership March 31, 10OT. was 2l,- 3Ts. During the past two years many successful class limitations have been held. A notable event Of this kind was held in Hartford. December 14. 1906. when the courts of the city and a few from surrounding towns initiated J00 candidates. Later waIl- ingford. Meriden.

 The II o'clock car on the Bank street line, due in the center seven minutes later, became tired of run ming in the usual way yesterday morning and refused to travel. The crew were compelled to run it back ward to Exchange place.
 The subject most discussed in Brooklyn this morning was the fact of "Fakir" Sullivan becoming a member of the fire department. When some of the residents heard 1t they almost dropped dead. "Fakir, who was the right-hand man of Moriarty & Carroll, the soda water men, will keep the members of what ever house he is placed on the hear ing line all day. He would rather talk than est or sleep and has some most original expressions. He is an old fire fighter and can tell some interesting tales when, as he terms it, he acted as horse pulling the old Rose Hill jumper. The only men dissatisfied with his selection as fire man are his former employers, who are left in the lurch for good man. Carroll returned from New Haven when he heard of what happened and was fit to be tied. Brooklynites seem to be pulling a big strike with the board of safety and 1t is said that Boxer" Ray, realizing this, has sent an application to the safety commis- sioners for place in the depart ment.

In Memory of Henry Storm, Who
 Died May G, 1907.

Died May G, f0Q7. In reading over Mondays paper I was pained to read therein: Henry Storm, one of Waterbury's best known citizens died Sunday at his home on Spencer avenue, to the great sorrow of his immediate fam fly asd the heartfelt regret of host of friends. Possessed of all those characteristics that go to make the goQd man, 1t was easy to recognize in him the loving husband, the indul- gent father and the staunch friend. Those who knew him well eau appre- ciate his many qualities of head and heart, his manly rectitude, his disin- terested consideration for others. and his unwaverlng loyalty to his friends, may the sod rest lightly upon the breast of Henry Storm and may hls soul enjoy that peace and happiness that this world cannot give. Wrapped in the shades of death, dear
 Father .e
 No more thy loving face we'll see, Empty. oh. so empty is the place Once filled so lovingly by thee, Eternal rest grant to him, gracious
 God.
 Who won all hearts by gentleness
 and truth: Who scattered seeds Of kindness
 where he trod,
 But faded in his perfect flower of
 youth.
 Peace be to his gentle soul. If we who
 miss,
 Lament his loss. we know that he
 has won
 A brighter life in that pure world of
 bliss.
