a new company which will also absorb
the Northwestern steamship company,

Goldfield May Have Its
Own Money
Plan on Foot to Make Bullion
Into Bars for Use as Circu-
Iafing Medium

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 20.-If plan now
under consideration by W. E. Dowlen,
manager of the Nevada -Goldield' reduc-
tion works, be consummated, Goldfeld
will soon have a circulating medium
which will relieve to a great extent the
present scarcity of real money. The
plan is to take the bullion produced
by the mills, make it into bars and
stamp thereon the value. which will be
used as money.
The question Of the legality OF the
plan and its possible conflict with the
currency laws of the land is now being
investigated. At present the three re-
duction works of the camp-the Ne
vada- Gqldfeld, the Combination and
the Kinkead mills-are turning out
about $1,000 a day, and this amount
could be quadrupled easily by running g
on ores of a higher grade. At the rate
OF $4,000 a day the camp could produce
100000 month in gold.
James r. Davis of the Round Noun
tain mining company has agreed to
put the bullion from that mill into cir
culation In the same way, providing
the plan be found to be feasible. This
would add from $4,000 to $4,000 a
month to the amount available.

in this state and the imperfect laws
governing banks and trust companies

lines indicated in the measure half
of the banks in California would be
thrown into bankruptcy. He also Of
fered objection to the preamble, say
ing that it would frighten depositors
and cause them at the earliest oppor-

of depositing moneys to help clear the
financial situation. He declared that
the measure was one of too great i'm
portance to be passed without careful
study and investigation. In addition
he said that he believed that if an in
vestigation were necessary it should
be conducted by the bank commission
ers and not by a special legislative
