SAVINGS BANKS IN THE SOUTH.


 My business dealings put me in close touch with the banks of a big section of the United States. said c. Thomas Coombs of Chicago. "The most interesting phase of banking is the great development of savings banks in several of the southern states, especially North Carolina and Tennes- sec
 Tt has not been so many years ago that people of the south hardly knew what savings banks were. The thrifty habits of the people of New England were unknown south of the Potomac; but all that has changed, and now you will scarcely find town in the cotton belt that will not accept the dimes and dollars of wage earners People tell me that large factor in this new fea- ture of southern life is the extinction of the liquor traffic. In thousands Of localities in Dixie saloons have been abolished and the money that used to go for drink is now saved by the heads of families. I think there is great deal of truth in this claim, and the temperance people deserve the credit.
 Another eontributory cause is the establishment of factories. The en- ployes of the various industries are more apt to put away money than la~ borers In purely agricultural region, At High Point, N, C., which has more than a hundred furniture factories, was told that ninety per cent. of the operatives lad money in the Heal sa- wings banks High Point also is q town without run shops. It might not be out of place to add that in a good many places in the south the negroes are beginning to see the wisdom of saving and are organizing banks. Shere arc two good ones run by colored people in Richmond, and one especially strong bank in Memphis is operated by negroes. Washington Herald,

j. G. Fuller and A. NJ Miller, both
of whom are interested in the Nevada
Northern property, in Sonoma canyon,
twelve miles south of Winnemucca, re
turned from Goldbanks last Tuesday.
In speaking of the latter place, Mr.
Fuller said it is the making of good
camp, but will need the infusion of cap
ital, and the erection of mill to work
the quantity of low grade ore on the
dumps to make work for the leasers
profitable.
OF course, considerable shipping can
be done with what high grade ore may
be found, but a large quantity of SO
to $50 rock is wasted until mill is
erected. as it will not pay to ship under
present conditions and expense attached
to the shipping of the same from there.
Mr.. Miller, who represents Dead
wood, s. d.. capitalists, will return with
Mr.. Fuller to Sonoma canyon to inspect
the Nevada Northern property, on
which considerable work has been done,
and upon which extensive work is con-
templated. Mr. Fuller has great faith
in his property in Sonoma county. The
lodges average some four feet wide,
and show returns in copper from 10 TO
25 per cent. and have all the indiea-
tions of continuing the same, or better,
with depth.

PRAISES
WASHAKIE

George Bertschy, the well-known min
ing man, returned Tuesday evening
from trip down in the southeastern
part Of Humboldt county, where two of
his prospectors have located lead
silver property. Bertschy brought in
with him some large samples cf the
ore, which he took to Reno for assay.
The property is located about fifty
miles from Goldbanks, and it is re-
ported that there is II large ledge from
which the samples were taken. The
samples are beautiful specimens Of
lead silver ore, and brittle silver shows
quite abundantly.
Returning from this new discovery,
Mr.. Bertschy inspected the various
camps, newly discovered, in this sec
tion of Humboldt county, including
Goldbanks, Clear Creek aud Washakie.
He was very favnrably impressed
with the showing ut Washakie, anl
states that in his opinlol that camp
has a better showing even than Gold
banks. .sThey are getting some coed
coarse free gold at WashalSie, and this
in consideration # the initial stages of
development of that camp, indicates
that there is goo ore and plenty of it..

Monday. In speaking of Mazuma, he
said that section of the country is
looking better than it ever did before,
though capital is scarce, as it is else.
where. Leasers continue to do exten-
sive work on all properties. During
the past month three different leasers
reported new strikes in the district.
The strike on the Reagan lease was
the most important, showing ore which
will run in the neighborhood of $25
pound. This was found in stringer
near the surface, but has all the indi-
cations of being permanent with depth
The Cole lease reported the diseov-
cry of large body of ore estimated to
carry values averaging 800 to the
ton. As the ledges are well defined on
this property, the chances of it devel-
oping into valuable property are more
than assured.
At the Stokes lease they are busily
engaged in sacking ore which will
average 800 per sack. This rock is
found at the 100 foot level and as the
ledge continues to go down with the
same values appearing, the owners feel
satisfied that they have paying
mine.
On last Friday c. Harshardy reported
that while doingg his annual assess.
ment work on ground in Wild Horse
canyon, he discovered a well-defned
ledge Of very rich ore of considerable
width

Statement MADE
BY ATTORNEY
WARREN

In the Justice court this morning, in
the case of the state of Nevada vs..
H. Warren and G.. r. Warren, Attorney
Warrent presented an affidavit of the
defendant in the case before the court.
Mr.. Warren recited in detail the facts
leading up to the alteration between
his son and Mr.. Hubbard of the Win
nemucca assay office, opening his re-
marks with the statement that this
action was the first of it's kind in which
he had ever appeared as defendant,
although he had been painted as dan
gerous man by portion Of the Win
nemucca press.
He then told of the fact of his alb
sence from the state when the load OF
gravel, over which the quarrel arose,
was unloaded at the scene of the con-
struction Of the new Warren building
Returning home and hearing of the fric-
tion that had been existing between
Mr.. Hubbard and his son and the EN-
ployes on the building, ne went into
the assay office to investigate the
cause of the trouble.
At that time he entertained no feel
ing of i'll will against Mr.. Hubbard. A
few minutes later, he stated, his SON
came into the assay office with piece
of scantling similar to the kind he was
in the habit of taking home at nights
for kindling purposes; that in the dis
cussion which arose his son and Mr..
Hubbard and himself went outside,
where the lie was passed between G.
r. Warren and Mr.. Hubbard over the
exact location on which the gravel had
been dumped; that Mr.. Hubbard and
his son then rushed together.
He roundly asserts that there exist
ed in his mind no intention nor desire
to iniure Mr.. Hubbard, and that in
the alteration he tried to prevent trou-
bible between Mr.. Hubbard, who had
pair of cupel tongs in his hand, and
his sop, who had piece of scantling
The affidavit was sworn to and pre-
sented as part of the record in the
case. This was objected to by District
Attorney Ducker, and the objection
sustained by Judge Robins, who an
nounced that the affidavit would not
be presented to the grand jury as a
part of the records of the case, for the
reason that it wasn't presented in ac-
cordance with the laws governing a
statement by defendant
Witnesses for the defense were being
put on at the noon hour today by At
torney Warren.
At the afternoon session counsel for
both parties announced the end Of their
respective cases, and submitted with
out argument. The judge then an
nounced that there was no question but
what G R. Warren would be held to
the grand jury, but the charge against
II. Warren would be dismissed. He
stated that he was going to read over
again the testimony of the witnesses
before he announced his decision.
Mr.. H. Warren then stated: 81 do
not suppose my opinion or remarks at
this time are at all pertinent, but I
wish to say that I do not look upon
this decision in any way as a favor,
or at all desirable, for I would rather
have been bound over to the grand
jury"
The court replied: eve are not
guided by your wishes or desires in
this matter. Mr.. Warren, but simply
on our opinions and beliefs -

Besides consideration of the many
bills presented against the county,
there was little acted upon. The peti-
tion of the property owners and tax
payers of Winnemucca for the opening
of Fifth street was favoraby acted
upon, and the street ordered opened
for traffic through Barret street, which
is on the section line on the north.
This will necessitate the removal of
about twenty nondescript huts and
novels, and the respective owners will
receive notice from the district at.
torney to move off the public street.
Mrs. Bush, prominent among the pe-
titioners, states that she will urge an
other petition praying for the opening
of Baud street; which is now rendered
impossible through Chinatown.

Mr.. Carpenter stated there is con
siderable activity in the mining line in
that section at present, as the new
copper camp of Juniper is making quite

sive work ON his properties, consisting
of high grade copper, silver and gold
ore, as is Anderson and Holcomb on
their extensive copper holdings. All
these properties have fine indications,
and will probably develop into one OF
the richest copper camps in the coun-

About one month ago, Mr.. Carpenter
stated, while prospecting the country
in the vicinity of Rattlesnake noun
tain, about seven miles north from Loco
springs, he discovered an extensive

that time he has done extensive work
on the same, and considers the returns
of 65 per cent quicksilver as showing
well worth working.
This district will certainly come to
the front, and when the present finan-
cial situation clears, capital viii be in.

opinion of many who have visited the
