NATIONAL BANK
FOR GOLDFIELD
PROJECT ON FOOT TO ABSORB
THE NYE AND ORMSBY
BANK.

The national bank which is to be
established in Goldfield is to absorb
the Nye and Ormsby County Bank of
that city. The business of the latter
is to be taken over, and the deposit
tors paid according to the original
plans, which include the agreement
of ten per cent in ninety days, twenty
per cent in six months, twenty per
cent more in nine months, and the
balance in a year.
This was in effect, the explanation
of l.. L. Patrick, one of the directors
of the national bank Mr.. Patrick
was here yesterday and spent nearly
all his time in examining the books
and records of the bank. From him
it was CLEANED that the National Bank
of Goldfield was being started by a
number of the depositors of the Nye
and Ormsby of that city.
I'VE expect to get our charter for
the new bank, and be ready to start
in business in thirty days., said Mr..
Patrick. I'm the meantime, the Nye
and Ormsby bank will have opened
for the resumption of business. The
new bank will then take over the
affairs of the bank; in fact, this will
| be the start of the national bank
This applies only to the Goldfield
branch of the Nye and Ormsby, and
the other branches will go on with
their business, paying their deposit.
ors according to the agreement. There
will be no changes, as understand
it, in the directorate of the Nye and
Ormsby, and our directors have moi
yet been selected. Frank Golden
Tom Lockhardt, George B. Hollerar
and 1 are the ihcorporators of the
national bank. We cannot elect oul

BARTLETT HAS
CASE OF GRIP
CONGRESSMAN RETURNS TO
SPEND HOLIDAYS WITH
HIS FAMILY.

Congressman George A. Bartlett
returned from Washington yesterday
morning, to spend the holidays with
his family. Mr. Bartlett came back
with case of grip, which he con-
tracted at the capital. Since leaving
here the representative of Nevada has
been considerably in the public eye.
He was one of the factors in the
calling out of the troops, and still
believes that he was in the right.
He was also appointed on the COM
mittees of mines and mining, irriga-
tion, and Pacific railways; all i'm
portant committees for this State,
and all of which he had made dead
set for
While it is believed that Governor
Sparks was justified in calling for
the troops" said Mr.. Bartlett, Pres
ident Roosevelt had absolutely no
other course than to recall them af-
ter the report of his commission.
With regard to the bill RENTING
the annual assessment, Carter of
Montana killed that. There was a
chance of having it passed, and |
took the chance, and had it been pass
ed, it would have meant big saving
to the people of this State. The peo-
pie who have their assessment work
yet to do should bear in mind that
while they have until the 31st of the
month to begin it, they must use rea-
sonable diligence in finishing it. 1t
will not do to commence the work
on the last day of the year and then
abandon it..
Mr.. Bartlett is of the opinion that
Bryan will be the next nominee of the
Democrats, and that Hughes is the
strongest factor in the Republican
race. With regard to the financial
situation, he says that things are
picking up in the East, and that con.
fidence is returning. 1t will be some
little time, he thinks, before we will
be on our feet again. but brighter
times are just ahead.

NEVADA NORTHERN
PAHEXTENSION
ENGINEERS ON WAY TO SOUTH
FROM ELY TO INVES-
TIGATE.

Frank c. Armstrong, representing
the allied interests of the Cumber-
land Ely, Nevada Con, Ely Mines,
Steptoe Smelling and Nevada North
ern Railway companies, accompanied
by Arthur Scott, civil engineer, left
this morning in Tex Richards au-
tomobile for Tonopah and Goldfield.
The primary object of Mr.. Arm
strongs visit to the southern camps
at this time, and in taking the over
land trip, is to investigate the topog-
raphy of the intervening country to
determine the feasibility of the pro-
posed railroad from Ely to the south
ern camps, and, incidentally, to make
a thorough canvass of the mines in
that section, to ascertain the amount
of ore available at present and the
future possibilities of the section in
the way of shipments to the smelter
here.
Some fourteen months ago two pre-
liminary surveys were made from
/ Tonopah to this camp, by engineers
in the employ of the Tonopah people,
presumably the Tonopah-Ely Rail-
road company. Beginning at Tono-
pah these surveyors followed the low
passes in the mountain ranges and
the valleys into Ely.
One route, leaving the White River
valley thirty-five miles south of Ely
crossed the Schell creek range
through Water canyon, entering Step.
toe valley south of Ward, thence
northward down Steptoe valley into
Ely, by way of Georgetown. The
other route came up White River val.
| ley to it's head and the summit of the
range, thence down Murray creek
canyon into Ely. From the summit
of the range at this point line wa:
also run around by the Giroux mine
and down Robinson canyon into Ely
While he refused to give out any
thing for publication concerning tn,
nature of his visit to the souther,
camps and the country through
which he proposes to go, it is gener
ally understood that in leaving thi
city, Mr. Armstrong has chosen al
altogether different route than an,
heretofore proposed. Having in min,
the possible extension of the Nevad
Northern, he went out by way o
Hamilton, Duckwater and Typo, t
gain information as to the feasibilit
of constructing railroad through
that section and to take observation
of the possibilities of the country i
i general.
Early last fall it was generally un
derstood, both here and in Tonopar
that work on the Tonopah-Ely rail
road would be actually begun befor

money to insure it's construction an

AS a matter of fact, all of the tin

just about that much also.
I found that the glass oil cans
which are covered with tin, measured
about right. This is an item worth
considering. !.
I found the merchants in many cases

and some gave thirty-eight. Some
were long On the half yard and some
short. In every case where found
an error, pulled the tacks ont of the

had merely been careless in putting

State Senator Little, the Bismarck
banker, who is making fight to be
nominated for the u. S. senate at
the coming primaries, arrived in MI
not Wednesday,. The Colonel said to
an Independent reporter: II had not
been in Minot since the days when
Col. Plummer subsisted on snow balls,
and want to tell you that there has
been great change. I have always
said that some day Minot and Bis
marck would outclass Grand Forks
and Fargo, and I am here to say that
that day is not far distant. The peo-
pie in those cities will not readily
acknowledge this.
Bismarck is coming right to the
front We had 100000 worth of i'm
provements this year, not such a bad
showing. The reason why Minot and
Bismarck are going to be the lead
ing cities of the state is because they
have SO many miles of splendid coun-
try surrounding them.
The senator did not say much about
the coming senatorial fight. He said
that he had seven counties in the

SAYS MlNOT WILL HAVE STREET
CARS.

Line Proposed for the Kansas City
Street Railway Co. to Put in Five
Mile Route in This City. Two 9th
err Important Auxiliary Industries.
1t is quite likely that before toe
next summer passes, Minot will nave
an up-to-date street car line. Mr.
Dowd, a Kansas ity, Mo-, attorney
has been here with other capitalists
for some time looking over the city
and a favorable report has been
made.
The line is to be installed by Kan.
sas City Street Railway company at
a cost approximately of 100000.
The proposed line will start at the
Great Northern depot, and run to the
corner Of First Main street, thence
south to the fair grounds, and back
to Fifth street, thence east down Val.
ley street, and across the river to
Eastwood park, and back west across
the fiat to the G. N. depot. The route
will be about five miles long. It is
proposed to put on six cars at first.
The new company has planned to
install two other important industries
in this city, the. nature of which we
are not allowed to divulge at this
time.

formation from one of Ninot's prom
