MOHAWK JUMBO CLOSES DOWN

The Mohawk Jumbo lease on the
Jumbo Extension has been closed down
since last Monday afternoon and may be
closed all of next week as the result OF
a dispute between the Jumbo Extension
and the Mohawk companies over the To-
cation of the boundary line between the
two properties. The lease is affected
only to the extent of being compelled to
shut down while force of surveyors is
at work making an underground survey
of the ground. in order that the question
may be definitely settled.
The survey is being made by joint
board named by the officials of the two
corporations and while there is also
question of apex involved, 1t is believed
that an amicable adjustment of the
whole affair will be reached without the
necessity Of taking the dispute into
court.

pass up the subject as of no particular

of the properties" he said. Il do not
expect that any serious controversy will
arise and any differences that may ex-

selves, without recourse to any legal
proceedings"
Tom Lockhart merely laughed when
the subject was brought up but declined

by George Wingfield for cashing the

announcement of second dividend
which was expected to be made by the

made the following statement:
1.-The meeting Of the Consolidated d.

at that meeting will depend upon de-
velopments between now and that time.

circulated that the employees in the bank
were sacking coin to be shipped out of
the city and an attachment was at once
secured by one of the depositors and
served on the bank. The fears of the
depositors were in a measure relieved
little later when the following notice
was issued by Assistant Cashier Wise,
who is in charge in the absence from
the city of Cashier j. l.. Lindsay:
"The Goldfield bank of the State Bank
and Trust company can pay two for one
on all it's deposits. The company is
amply secured on all the loans which 1t
has made and there is absolutely no
doubt of it's solvency. The present
closing was merely an expediency meas
ure to avoid a possibly serious situation,
and there is absolutely no danger OF
Goldsield depositors losing their money.

Early Wednesday afternoon run was
started on the Goldfield branch of the
Nye & Ormsby County bank and about
1000 was paid out by that institu-

in regard to declaring a second dividend
at the meeting to be held next Tuesday
could be obtained, it Is more probable
that, if the financial situation improves
somewhat in the meantime. the dividend
may be declared and another comfort
able fortune of $350.00O distributed by
the Consolidated during the month of
November There is no question Of the
ability of the Consolidated to pay an
other dividend at this time; 1t is SIM

tors conclude that conditions are such
as to warrant further distribution
of its funds among the shareholders, the
dividend may be declared next Tuesday.
If however, the financial and Industrial
sky remains clouded. with no immedi-
ate indication of clearing away, it is
not likely that a second dividend will
be declared at that time.
