WASHINGTON. April 6, 1907

WASHINGTON. April 6. 1907
my Dear Mr.. Evans: 1 have just been
over to see the fifty specially selected
paintings by American artists which you
have 50 generously given to the nation.
feel that action such as yours works in
direct and practical fashion to encourage
the development of American art and to
foster its appreciation. I am particularly
gratified at seeing such a gift come to
Washington. You doubtless know that
Mr.. Freer's noteworthy collection of
paintings has also been decided to the
nation. Your gift. taken together with
what has already been done. will form
the cornerstone for a national gallery of
art in the nations capital. In my judg-
ment. building to harbor this national
gallery has become a necessity. In the
case of the Freer collection the generos-
ity of the donor provided Tor it's housing.
but it is impossible that this should be
ordinarily the case. An adequate build
ing must be provided so that there may
be incentive for gifts such as that of
the Harriet Lane Johnston collection
and yours. I very earnestly hope that
Congress will at q very early date pro-
vide an adequate building for a national
art gallery
with renewed thanks. believe me,
Sincerely yours.

Il. J. COLLINS ENTERS THE
EMPLOY OF MALCOLM
MACDONALD.

e. j. Collins. so long general man
ager of the Nevada Smelling and
Mines Corporation, resigned his posi-
ton yesterday, to take effect immedi-
ately. His resignation was given that
he might enter the service of NAL
colin Macdonald as a mining engineer
and expert. Mr. Collins is known
throughout this country as one of the
best, most accurate and conscientious
of mining engineers. His experience
in the mines at Tybo and Reveille OF
the Nevada Smelling and Mines Cor
poration, is sufficient evidence of his
worth. He has developed two of the
greatest mines in the State. A fav-
orable report on mining property
from him is one of the greatest rec
concentrations that can be given to it.
Mr.. Collins has been succeeded by
Mr.. Charles Kirchen, a brother of
General Manager John Kirchen OF
the Tonopah Extension mine Mr.
Kirchen came here from Shasta coun-
ty, California, where he superintend-
ed the construction of the famous
Balakalava smelter 1t is in the
smelter work of the Nevada Smelling
and Mines Corporation that the SER
vices of Mr.. Kirchen will be most
valuable.

Gold and Other Minerals.

The need of additional railways In

sidered fer reaching not only the
timber but mineral territory. As yet

though they are both extensive and

The State is perhaps best shown by
statistics relative to its banks. As
in the case of Virginia, North Caro-
lima suffered heavily as a result of
the civil war and recovered. much
more slowly. This IS indicated by
the fact that as recently as 1890 the
number of banks of all kinds within
the limits Of North Carolina repre-
sented but a nominal figure. In fact,
the people were nearly destitute Of
such facilities. Since that time, how
sver, institutions doing business I'M
Ter State charters as well as private
banks and saving banks have been
organized to such an extent that the
present time North Carolina contains
over IT'S, having a total capital of
nearly $S,0O0,O00. Their success is
best shown by the figures of the COM
oined surplus which amounts to near
y $2,000,000. Their deposit average
s25,00O,O00 annually, with loans of
the same amount. Here is a record
Of which the people of North Caro-
ina may well be proud, for it rep

these institutions. These have been of
much benefit especially In the factory
