MILL IS SAVING
PRECIOUS METAL

That the ore of the Pine Nut
Consolidated mine is largely free
milling has been successfully PROV
en- during the past week by a test
run of the 5-stamp mill recently
erected at the mine. The pump
that lifts the water from the shaft
hat is used for milling purposes,
has been of much annoyance and
delay, resulting in temporary
shutdown until it can be replaced
with a new one.
The exact results of the run thus
far made are not exactly known in
dollar. and cents but the plates in
the mill show that the precious
metal is being saved and in paying
quantities.
There is no question now but
this property will eventually be
known as one of the biggest propo-
sition within the sphere of low
grade mining IN Nevada.

RAILROADS WILL
fight Commission

A determined effort is to be
made by the railroads of Nevada
to combat the Railroad Cemmiss-
ion in its efforts to reduce the
freight rates now prevailing in
this State.
The matter will come up at the
comming meeting of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to be held
in Reno. For months past, it is
reliably reported, all the railroads
in Nevada have been working
quietly on the matter and when it
is brought up they will be able to
present uniform complain show
ing in detail showing in detail how
a reduction in rates would in
flict hardship on all the roads
even under present conditions
operating at loss.
Expert adjusters employed by
the larger lines have been consult
ing with the smaller roads putting
them in touch with information
which will make this scheme prac-
ticable.
Not only this but the roads are
now diligently at work arranging
for the complete repeal of the pres
ent railroad commission law at the
next session of the leg stature.

LEADERS IN
IRRIGATION WORK

The Carson News publishes the
following concerning artificial ir-
rigation in Carson Valley and
vicinity:
While large majority of our
people are looking for "foreign
capital" to come to Nevada and
develop our many latent recources
the sturdy farmers of Carson Val
ley smpoy their time and money
enlarging and improving their
holdings.
Engineer Pratt returned yester-
day after having made preliminary
surveys for the improvements on
the Vallem ranch in the south
end of the Valley, which calls for
the construction of 1000 feet of
fiume, over mile of canal and
about 500 foot of tunnel.
Only a few miles further north,
contractors are now finishing the
construction of a large dam which
will improve 5000 acres feet Of
water which will be used next
season to reclaim that many acres
of new land.
Some 1900 acres of the Dang
berg tract is now being subdividsd
into S0-acre tracts and will be re-
claimed under the new canal and
reservoir system completed last
year by that company.
In other words some 10000
acres of new land will be brought
under cultivation within the next
two years in this already prosper
Gus Valley, and all this is being
done without any flourish of
trumpets and while others are
waiting for capital to come in"
and help them out. 1t is a veri-
fication of the old fable of the lark
and her young in the wheattield.

SUDDEN DEMISE
OF EDWARD FREY

Edward Frey, one of the best
known men of this Valley, died at
Reno Thursday evening, November
18th from an attack of pneumonia.
Until few days prior to his death
he was in robust health and his
sudden demise has east pail over
this Valley that will not soon be
erased.
Last June, brief four months
ago, Ed Frey lead Miss Annie
Ambrosetti, of Carson to the mar.
riage alter, and a few weeks later
took up their residence at Reno
Then everything was as dream to
them. The bride wrote to intimate
friends in Gardnerville telling in
the fondest terms Of the happiness
in their new home. Like bolt
from a cleal sky came the news OF
his sudden death and their friend.
are almost unable to realize the
truth.
To his immediate relatives the
blow Is a most severe one. In less
than two years his parents have
stood by the grave and witnessed
three of their grown children lower
cred To their final rest. With the
burden of this almost unbearable
grief the mother is in broken
healt fighting the battle of a brave
woman while the father brothers
and sister ars in sorrow that death
alone can bring.
Deceased was born in Genoa,
Nevada and was i2years,,,4 months
and 20 day. of age. Practically
his entire life was spent at that
place. He was most worthy
gentlemen and one of high princi-
pie. To mourn his loss he leaves
his parents, one sister Mrs. George
Brown, and three brothers, Walter,
Francis and Wm.

Aired by The State Press
Receiver Wades Declares Trading Unlaw-

on hand in coin or the amount of
$461 .60s.44 Their actual reserves
of 1921, ,27S.27 was found to have
been invested in loans whose
securities were a lot of worthless
mining stock. Attention is also
called to $4,000 of the depositors
money spent in the erection of the
banking building at Tonopsh and
which has decreased in value fully
$125,O0O since it was erected. 7.
B. Hickey, president of the bank is
charged with loaning large sums
money to various enterprises IN
which he was heavily Interested on
all kinds of securities oftimes
without any at all, the same being
unqestioned by the board of di-
rectors of the bank.
The next feature of the document
and the principal one is the trad
ing of accounts in which it is
alleged that an amount of secur-
tiles exceeding 100000 was trad
ed, in most cases the parties SO en-
gagged received every dollar on their
accounts. The plaintiff allel es
that this action of the defendants
in allowing this to 60 on was un-
lawful and unauthorized and has
resulted in the releasing of the
best securities held by the institu-
tion and the closing up of the ao-
counts that were secured by gilt
edged security. As result there
remains only accounts which
could not be traded and securities,
the majority of which are worth
less.
The plaintiff further prays that
an accounting on behalf of the de-
positors and creditors and the
shareholders be made an order re-
straining them or their agents
from selling, disposing, aleniating
transferring or incumbering any
or all of their propery, real or
personal of said defendants during
the pendency of the action filed or
until further ordered by the court.
The action Just filed is one of the
most important moves yet made
and if the plaintiff should prove
successful in his suit to recover it
will eventually mean that every
depositor and creditor has an ex-
cellent chance of getting their
money back from the defunct in
stitution.-Csrson Appeal.
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1908-11-20

Papers in suit to recover the
assets of the State Bank and Trust
Company traded by the depositors
in the defunct bank under author
ity of the President and Board of
Directors OF the institution during
the early part of the present year
have been filed in the District
Court OF Ormsby county,
All Of the defendants in the case
have been served with the papers
with the exception of Mapes who is
in the east.
+. l.. Wildes is the plaintiff in
the action in the capacity of Re-
ceiver OF the State Bank and Trust
Company and 7. B. Hickey, Geo.
II. Meyers, Z. II. Peterson, Al
Livingston, Wilson Brougher, Geo.
W. Mapes, Chas. 7. Bender, Jas.
?. Woodbury., and S. l.. Lee are
named as the defendants.
The document as filed is very
lengthy one consisting of about
forty pages containing the history
of the institution. 1t deals with
the incorporation of the bank and
the adoption OF the constitution
and bylaws, copy of which are
made a part OF the record. 1t
states that during the past two
years the institution has paid in
dividends to the shareholders the
amount.of $4,000 and maintains
that this amount is far in excess of
what should have been allowd. At
the time of the closing of the bank
over a year ago the value of the
assets were represented as being
$2,6s1 ,S0s.5l when the true legal
value of the securities were about
$560,000. At the time OF the sus-
pension the liabilities were esti
mated at $3,6l4,399.6S.
The plaintiff iarther claims that
loans amounting to thousands OF
dollars were made without the
sanction of the Board of Directors
at the time which was contrary to
the bylaws and that the directors
are therefore guilty of mismanage-
ment and OF failure and neglect to
perform the duties imposed upon
them by the office they held.
The document then sets forth
that at the time of suspension of
the bank there was in all only
$l40,326.17 in coin in all the
branches of the bank and this in
cludes the amounts owed to them
by other banks. This cash repre-
sented one of the principal assets
while at the same time the bank
owed to depositors the amount of
$2,30s, ,027.22 and according to
their laws should have had at
least 20 per cent of their deposits
