represents the House of Stallfortn,
and this interest is not now antag-
nistic to the present management
Mr.. Coram refuses to discuss the ef-
fort Of Mr.. White to depose him from
the management, except to say thai
he is taking no action to meet his OPP
position, which is alleged to be the
outcome of personal grievances.
A director of the company says: Il
suppose it will be claimed that Mr..
Coram is responsible for the decline
in the prices of silver, the excessive
rainy season in Mexico which has pr
vented operation for two months, and
the bad roads there, all of which ha'C
contributed to the falling OF in earn
ings.
THE whole trouble with Mexico
Consolidated mas been the unfortunate
purchase Of $4,000 worth of custom
ores at much higher prices of silver.
This is responsible for a floating
debt Of 100000. We have also been
unable to get out ores for several
months because of impossible roads
due to the excessive rainy season. We
are s,xty-five miles from a railroau
and everything has to be carried in
and out.
CAS- a matter Of fact, both the con
centrating and cyanide mills are now
in full operations and beginning No

ings of between $4,000 and s25,0oU
gold per month, even on the present
low price of silver.

ONE LESSON OF THE PANIC.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Signi-
ficant tuogress is being made by Pa
cific Coast banks toward adequate
protection against another panic. II
is characteristic of all Western
states banking conditions, but parti-
cularly has California worked out q
definite plan for the control and
publicity of banking corporations. A
meeting of the state bankers has Just
been held here to perfect a state
clearing house method for the assist.
ance Of all banks. The state is di
vided into ten districts. of which ex-
aminers are to have charge independ-
emily of the state and national ex-
aminations- Some parts OF the state
are swept clear of funds at times.
while others are abundantly supplied.
II is planned to form q cooperative
union that shall allow the fullest use
of the state funds of the state by as
sisting the locations in need, and thus
expediting the handling of crons
without the aid Of the eastern reserve
centers-
we are doing another thing" ex-
sf-Iped an officer of the association
we learned during last years crisis
that examinations were incomplete.
Many institutions had a condition we
Bisbee daily review., 1908-11-17

could not determine, so we planned
to conduct our own examination
through ten dist fct organizations.
With thorough examination and CO.
operative work in looking after the
needs and opportunities, we can do
much to maintain a higher average
standing than ever before in our coast
banks
The movement is spr SAT ing as a re-
suit of the experiences Il one year
ago, and the Indications are that the
entire west will org1qize voluntarily
for better banking and for the regu.
lation of assets and loans. The
reckless buying of com. aercial paper
is one of the weaknesses of cnuhtIy
banks with small loan demand ard
increasing deposits. This Is true all
through the West, and the conserva-
tive bankers realize the need of some
corrective, so sharply has this come
home to them that they have them
selves taken initiative to supersede
the state examinations in some In
stances by more vigorous investiga-
tion and by segregating the bank that
does not use care in its loan-making.
One of the current needs of the
Western banks, according to students
of the condition, is a clearer idea of
the woI6A of securities, and this the
banking Associations are endeavoring
to furnish.

ARNOLD TAKEN
BY SURPRISE
WITH FAT JOB
Phoenix Man Given the Posi-
ton of Receiver at Land Of
flee, When He Had Not
Asked For 1t.

Charles E. Arnold yesterday after
noon received telegram from Com
missioner bennett OF the general land
Office informing him of his appoint
ment as receiver of the Phoenix land
office. Though Mr.. Arnold was not an
applicant for the office, to which
George l.. Bugbee had been appointed
g month ago, succeeding Lyman w.
Wakefield, he had an intimation the
night before that dis appointment was
under consideration and might be an
nounced yesterday.
Why the change was made Is not
known. Mr.. Arnold was an applicant
for the office more than a year ago,
following the death of Mutton NJ.
Moore, the receiver. He had the sup
port at that time of Secretary Taft,
his brother, Charles P. Taft, and AR
thur Y. Vorys, but before their en-
dorsements could reach the president
at Oyster Bay, the appointment of Mr.
Wakefield was made. Mr. Arnold new
er renewed his application. He had a
letter from both Charles P. Taft and
Mr.. Vorys after the last appointment
was made informing him of the ap-
pointment of Messrs. Parker and Bug
bee, and he replied that he was glad
of It.
Some of his friends, however, ap-
pear to have renewed their efforts in
his behalf, with the result of a change
in plans.-Arizona Republican.
Mr.. Bugbee evidently declined Lne
appointment as receiver of the land
office because he was given the posi-
ton of secretary anc auditor of the
Pacific Electric company in Los An
geles.
