BANKS To ISSUE
CERTIFICATES
Will FURNISH NASHVILLE WITH
An ABUNDANCE OF ciRcU-
LATIhe MEDIUM.
IN THE VLRIOUS DENOMINATIONS
OF Five. Ten. twenty, Fifty And
hundred Dollars
Zach.

Ala meeting Of the Nashville Clear
ing House Association held yesterday
afternoon It was decided to at once
issue clearing house certificates for
whatever amount Is necessary IN order
IN relieve the money stringency in
the city and provide . circulating me
dium for the carrying on Of the bust
ness of Nashville, so that its business
interests will not be cramped or sui
fer for lack Of money in the hands Of
the people.
II was not decided definitely just
what amount will be issued, but it
will probably be several hundred thou
sand dollars. The certificates will be
in denominations of five. ten, twenty,
fifty and one hundred dollars, and will
be about the size of greenbacks, and
viii be good legal tender for all debts,
as they will be backed by good hard
dollars that are now banked up in the
vaults of Nashville banks.
The plan which has been worked
ont is that the banks of the city will
each set aside given amount Of $25,-
900 or $4,000 of its cash funds, which
will be deposited with number OF
trustees who WILDE chosen from among
the representative bankers of the
city. This cash will be placed away
and held untouchable for any purpose,
and after the financial stringency
abates and the limit is lifted on with
drawals this fund will be used to re-
deem the certificates.
This will provide plenty of money
for the accommodation of the retail
interests of the city, the large corpo-
rations. factories and various enter
prises having many employees on their
pay roll. The plan has been adopted
by the clearing association Of Atlanta,
which has issued $2,OOO,COO in certif-
Gates for the purpose of moving the
cotton crop Of Georgia and in order to
prevent a curtailment of business in
Atlanta.

AT FIRST NJ. {. CHURCH.
Mrs. Lila c. Moore Speaks on Text
.Love Thy Neighbcr az
Thyseif."

An audience that taxed to the limit
the capacity of the spacious audit0-
rum OF the First Methodist church
was present Sunday morning to hear
Mrs. Lila Carlin Moore, of New Mex
leo. who delivered most interesting
and instructive address. She took for
the theme of her discourse the four
teenth verse Of the fifth chapter OF
Galatians: For all the law is full
filled in one word even in this Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself.
Mrs. Moore spoke of the law OF
heredity, denying that God created
within human beings any sinful
desires, but stated that the uncontroi-
able thirst for strong drink was trans
mitted from the parents. 1t was the
duty of the parents and the duty OF
the State to curb the sinful desires OF
the people and to remove as far as
possible temptation from the path OF
the weak.
She referred to changed conditions,
due in part to the activity of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion. She stated that the strong senti-
ment which had almost completely
banished the open saloon from Ten
nessee and was making other states
rapidly dry was due to the agitation
of the question that aggressive agi-
tation created sentiment and senti-
ment forced the enactment OF laws.
In this connection Mrs. Moore paid
neat compliment to three disting-
uished Tennesseans whom, she de-
clared, had done much to improve con-
ditions. They were Gov. Jos. ", Folk,
of Missouri, Judge Ben B. Lindsey,
OF Denver. Colorado. and Your own
beloved townsman, Senator Carmack."
She stated that Carmack was one OF
the bravest and noblest Of the tenn
perance champions and that she had
heard him where temperance was NOT
very popular and his denunciation OF

MINING ACTIVITY Renewed
IN THE MANHATTAN SECTION

Spring fever" that tired feeling
which permeates the system of most
of us at the hour when nature, fecun-
date, is girding her loins preparatory
for the fullness of autumn's rich con-
tent, finds no place, it is stated in the
blood of the toilers of the Manhattan
mining district The apathy of a long
drawn-out winter Las been supplanted
by a renewal of mining activity, and
in the running of the sap and BURST
ing of bud the people of the camp find
impetus for industrial rejuvenescence.
Mining properties for months quies-
cent are again being worked; at other
properties lackadaisical operations
have been superseded in insistent min
ing effort. Consolidation and merger
plans have taken the place of lack
of interest in mine promotions. Re-
newed activity is reported on the Santa
Lola, Mustang, the Hindocraft, Man
haitian Mammoth, Otero, Gold Crest,
the Independent, the Annie Laurie,
Stray Dog and other properties.

BIG CASH PAYMENT
BY GILA COPPER COMPANY

The Florence (Ariz.) Blade announces
that recently there was paid out at
Kelvin by the Gila Copper company the
sum of $117,300. The amount was paid
for claims adjoining the Ray copper
group and was distributed as follows:
To Thomas Kavanaugh, $45,0O0; Frank
Guild, $4,000; Dan Sullivan, $4,000;
Burt Cullom, $4,000; Frank Schillings,
$4SOO B. e. Schilling. $500; Jake Bates,
$4,000; Andy Bates, $110O; Arthur Fore
man, $1100; Don Pugh. Jim and Jack
Davis, jointly, $2700. The preliminary
arrangements for the sale Of the Ray
group, and the additional claims for
which the above named amounts were
paid out, were made by Hon. Charles
II. Cutting in association with Thomas
Kavanaugh of Kelvin and r. H. Clark
son of Boston. This is the largest min
ing deal ever consummated in Pinal
county. The property lies within the
area In which is situated the famous
old Silver King, which has already
yielded over s16,000,00O In silver; the
Reymert group, which has yielded $5,
OO0, 600 In silver; the Belle and Colum-
bia, which have yielded 101 carloads OF
lead-silver bullion worth $6,0OO000, and
the Mammoth, which has yielded SlO,-
900 in gold.

in operation on the Brown Palace group,
employing eighteen men under Capt,
Case, the superintendent.
During Mr.. Macmillan's visit to the
camp the strike was mad9 on the White
Alps group, proving the continuity of
the Brown Palace group for 800 feet.
An average sample for four feet gave
$172 in silver and $210 in gold to the
ton. Excepting for slight labor trou-
bles, the district is progressing like a
house afire. Three stage lines run into
the place.
New Hoist In Position
The new twenty-five horse power
hoist ordered for the Goldfeld Ame-
thyst some time ago has arrived and is
now on the property waiting to be in
stalled. A gallows frame is being put
into place and necessary buildings are
being erected. When these improve
ments are finished the Amethyst will
have as complete an equipment as any
new property in the district.
The surface indications show three
well-defined veins, one coming from the
Red Butte and the others trendine
westerly from the Daisy and the Great
Bend. The main shaft is being sunk
at the junction Of these two veins.
The shaft had reached a depth of 245
feet and after passing out of the yell
low porphyry slate formation had
been cut. The latter, however, was
passed after very few feet Of sinking,
when the blue dacite was encountered.
This dacite is identical with that found
in the leases on the Mohawk before the
pay shoots were opened.
The showings at the 100-foot level were
also becoming better when the lease
closed. The last shift took out several
tons of ore which has value running
close to $500.

For the purpose of investigating the
copper properties in the Plomosa, Ellis

tricts in Yuma county, Arizona, Fred
o. Johnson, Barbee s. Hook, Fred G..
Fenner and Ernest A, Haggott left Los

one of the longest and most interesting
desert automobile trips In Southern
California records. From the West
minister hotel they proceeded to San
Bernardino, thence along the Southern
Pacific tracks to Mecca, thence across
the Cottonwood mountains to Boulder
Well and Browns we'll. The Colorado
was crossed by ferry at Ehrenberg.
From that point the automobilists went
through Quartzsite and reached Sa-
