THE RAWHIDE BOOM.

The Rawhide boom is the most re-
markable in the history of Nevada,
as nearly as the present generation
can remember, and it probably sur
passes anything ever seen in the
State at any time.
That such phenomenal inpouring
should be possible at time like the
present when money is still so very
tight "-that men should find the
means to outfit and to travel hum
dreds and thousands of miles to this
place--that other men should sacri-
flee valuable industrial and railroad
securities to put enormous sums Of
money into Rawhide mining proper
ties-these are signs upon which Ne
vada may well congratulate herself.
1t shows that the interest of the min
ing world is finally and firmly fixed
on Nevada, and that nothing short of
a cataclysm can tear it away.
1t is nothing short of marvellous.
The dilly-dallying of the big Gold
field operators, their trifiing and friv-
olous subterfuges to avoid paying div
idends, their coarse and clumsy mar
ket manipulation, and the injudi-
cious-to call it nothing worse-ac-
lions of her high State officials in
lending their names to the promo
ton OF the worst kind of wildcat
mining schemes circumstance that
was promptly taken advantage of by
the Eastern periodicals to give the
State black eye-all this has not
been sufficient to give the State its
death-blow as a center of interest in
the mining world.
The scepter has departed from

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the Offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
1t pays to patronize home industry.

DIR. Miller, who is conducting an
auto line from Schurz into Rawhide,
has been in negotiations with the
railroad people to have them put on
sleeper into Schurz for Rawhide
passengers. His proposition is to
have the sleeper remain at Schurz,
so that the passengers need not be
disturbed until o'clock in the
morning, when the autos will be all

and then Fallon will want something

stocks of the camp on the San Fran

camp, and it is possible lhat there
may be some OF the securities listed

The Murray lease. owned by the
Nevada Reduction and Mining Com
pany, is proving one of the bonanzas
of the camp. They are down on this
property for depth of more than
100 feet, and they are getting gu;

payment agreement is signed by the
depositors. whether they will be in
full or not will depend entirely upon
the Sullivan Trust Company loans,
and the loss to the depositors will be
exactly the loss made on the Sulli-
van securities. If they pay in full,
every depositor will, in my opinion,
receive payment in full.
las the Hickey regime was one of
entire secrecy. believe that full in
formation is something to which
every depositor is entitled and should
the committee at work succeed in Sc
curing the requisite number of sig
natures. my policy in handling the
banks affairs would be one of the
greatest publicity consistent with the
good faith to customers of the bank
and one of my first moves would be
to prepare a complete statement of
the assets and liabilities of the bank,
including an itemized statement of
the loans made, the amount of each
loan and the collateral held therefor,
emitting only the name of the GUS
| made. Upon receipt of this state
ment, each depositor can tell for him
self the exact condition of the insti-
| tuition, and can make his own esti-
mate of the amount that will be re-
allied in the hands of a receiver or
under forced liquidation and the
slaughtering of the securities. 1t
would also be my policy to publish a
similar statement at regular inter
walls showing to the depositors the
progress made in the rehabilitation,
or, more correctly speaking, the
liquidation of the institution.
Under the agreement of the COM
mittee by which consented to iden-
| tify myself with the reorganization
of the bank, it was agreed that the
signatures of the depositors to the
| deferred payment agreement should
| be secured by the stockholders or
the depositors themselves, and that
the responsibility for securing said
| signatures should be theirs and not
mine. In addition, that / should
have the unreserved support of the
directors, depositors and all inter-
ested in concerted effort to rehabil-
itate the bank, pay dollar for dollar
to the depositors and save the credit
of Nevada.
| AT the time this agreement was
entered into, exclusive of accounts
represented by me, there remained
on the books of the different branch
es total of over $325,OO0 unsigned
accounts. Therefore, the signatures
of the depositors to this amount
must be secured before noon of the
Sd of March, which is the date upon
which my agreement with the COM
mittee expires, and unless the sigma
lures are secured on or before that
date, the directors of the bank on
report of the committee will request
the Bank Commissioners to appoint d
receiver and liquidate the affairs OF
the bank. f-Goldfield Chronicle.

D. Mackenzie has forwarded "A
telegram to T. B. Hickey making a
| liberal offer regarding the taking up
by the latter of the Sullivan securi-
ties and in that way putting the State
Bank and Trust Company in such
| shape as to permit of an immediate
reopening. The telegram is printed
above.
In speaking this afternoon of the
proposal, Mr. Mackenzie had the fol-
lowing to say:
Il have repeatedly heard Mr..
Hickey in public and in private de-
clare that the Sullivan securities held
| by the bank would within a years
time make a return of more than
| 5000. the amount of the loan.
In fact, his most recent declaration
in this regard was made at meeting
held by the directors of the banks at
Carson some weeks ago.
In turn, have submitted a prop
osition to Mr. Hickey that if he will
take up these securities ] will adj
vance the money, providing he will
! give me mortgage as security to
myself on his Mono county ranch. II
he will do this I will open the bank
Immediately and there would be nc
doubt that dollar for dollar would be
paid.
Hickey believes fully. according
to his own declarations, in the Sulli.
van securities, and hence by such a
move as l have proposed he would
have chance to more than offset the
per cent interest he would have t.
pay on my mortgage by realizing
within a year-as he says can be
done-more than the amount of the
Sullivan loan. Certainly if ever Their
was fair proposition, this is one
and to the very man who was res
ponsible for the loan and who should
do everything in his power to brine
about satisfactory results.
Il have not heard from Hickey II
the matter, though my latest propos
al along just the same line was made
by wire on last Tuesday
Continuing further and speakin.
regarding the reorganization plan
Mr.. Mackenzie spoke as follows:
While my examination of the as
sets and liabilities of the State Banl
and Trust Company was of necessit,
somewhat superficial, | feel that
have arrived at pretty fair idea .

under liquidation, along the line
that will be made possible by tn

commissioners are to make such
changes as may to them seem
necessary to meet the needs of the
voting population, but that they
arc not to organize precincts that
will contain more than five hun
dred voters, or in any event defer
action until later than September
l. More than that the statute
means that the commissioners in
organizing a civil township by
that act constitute such township
a voting precinct thereafter, and
that it is incumbent upon them to
fix polling place therein rs pro-
vided by law.
No doubt the board is within
the provisions Of the statute so far
as their absolute legal obligation
to net is concerned. Though there
is some question rs to whether the
law does not mako the establish
mcnt Of polling places within
organized civil townships manda-
tory, we understand that the
board could if it so desired delay
action until after tho primaries.
Our position is simply this, there
was urgent need for action, the
board had ample authority under
the statute to mako the necessary
changes, but they refused to do SO.
1t was simply a neglect of their
plain duty.
Now in all this there is not, nor
has there over been in what we
have said, one word of personal
abuse of any member of the board
individually. Jealous to advance
the interests of their faction, they
neglected their duty, and on that
account a thousand votes in this
end of the county may 60 un-

mariss. It's not square DEAL"
that's all.
Pardon US for suggesting in this
connection, lest you forget, that

are pledged to rearranQement of

paste it in your hat for reference

A Daredevil Feat

Walter Runyan has been in
town from the Grindstone country
during the past week preparing
the equipment for new riding
feat that will simply take tho
average onlookcr's breath away.
1t will be remembered that Arthur
and Walter Runyan gave Roman
hippodromc riding exhibition at
the Harvest Festival here last fall
that was a first class performance.
There was general expression Of
approval at that time and since.
Later Arthur went to Europe, and
is at the present time giving OK
hibitions in Belgium. Now Walt
has devised a new one. Indeed.
if his idea matcrializes success
fully he will have the only per-
formance of the kind in the world.
The details of the scheme are
not easily explained, but a general
idea can be given pretty easily.
Three teams of horses arc to be
used. Two of these arc to be
hitched abreast, separated some
fifteen or sixteen feet, and
followed by the third team. The
arrangement of the horses is such
that each team supports the corner
of triangular frame with sides
approximately Y sixteen feet long.
This frame is tirml y attached to
saddle trees which the horses
carry. Suspended from the sides
of the frame, swinging between
the teams, is a large net. Above
the net and high above the backs
of the horses some thirty-fvc feet
rises ladder, firmly braccd from
the sides of the frame.
Now the feat is performed SIM
ply in this fashion. The perform
er mounts his suspended frame
and lashcs his horses into dead
run. Then he climbs up the
dizzy swaying ladder, and while
the horses are rushing madly on,
dives head first into the suspended
net.
This explanation gives only a
general notion of the exhibition.
1t will have to be seen before any
of US will realize just quite how
daredevilish it is. There have
been divers from stationery towers
into nets and tanks, and there has
been daredevil riding of almost
all the possible varieties, but no
one ever attempted a combination
of the two before. If Runyan
makes q success of his plan, and
he is confident that he will, he can
go to Europe or almost any other
place he chooses to put on the per-
! lformance. It will have the dip of
death and looping the loops in m
automobile beat a mile. The first
exhibition will be given sometime
during the coming summer.
