CHAPTER XIII.

The man in charge of the apartment
house at No. 20 Rue de Santin was
short, dumpy man, Of the name Of Gug-
hatoff. Though he spoke French fluent
ly, even with the accent of a native, his
high Tartar cheek bones, his obliQue
eyes, and gutteral information when unduly
excited sufficiently attested his Russian
origin.
In GughatoH, the Russian, NJ. Cas-
sagne found he had a far more difficult
person to deal with than the little laun-
dress, plant by reason of her excessive
greed. With Gughatof, whose political
opinions now constituted his whole life
motive, mere gain was secondary con
sideation. He devoted all his spare time,
which was considerable, as his wife did
most Of die work, to the discussion of
politics. He was one of those men Of
whom people say Ale would sooner talk
politics than eat"
The Partisan detective now felt that
while his progress SO far had been salts
factory, the greatest caution on his part
was necessary. He had seen the most
likely cases ruined by too hasty conduct ::
He did net suffer himself to be unduly
elated by the extremely satisfactory out
come of his interview with Nine Beau
santin. He went about his work with the
greatest elaboration. A man less n mas
ter Of his difficult profession would have
at once excited suspicion, which would
have resulted In the Russians closing
his mouth forever. NJ. Cassagne avoided
this fatal error by The very elaboration
with whicA he went about his work. His
first step was to find out the kind OF man
he had to deal with. In two days, he
had possessed himself OF all necessary
information. On the third he continued
TO ingratiate himself with the janitor, in
regard to whose antecedents and peeu-
llarities ne had been 80 careful to make
himself acquainted.
On the fifth day the morning train bore
the detective away from Blois, the richer
for some very important information. He
had shown the portrait in the locket to
Gughaton, and the concierge, like Nine.
BeausantiR, had declared it to be the
portrait Of the American Henry Graham.
In addition he had actually persuaded
GughatoR that he had been all the time
entertaining in Henry Graham spy Of
the Russian government; that he, Cas-
sagnc, belonged to a friendly circle of
French cooperative Nihilists having its
headquarters In Paris; that Graham had
been at one time member of the circle,
and that he was about to betray his late
comrades Gughatof, to whom spy
was rs red rag TO bull, had greedily
swallowed this remarkable fairy tale OF
the detectives, especially when the latter
had produced skillfully prepared docu-
ment in Russian which not only com
mended him to the Offices Of all good Nj
hilists, but even gave a distinct account
Of the object of his mission and infinitely

PROMISING OUTLOOK FOR ToNopAH.

In IN interview with Mark B. Kerr, published in another column,
Is a very interesting description of what is going on atd depth in the vari-
Gus mines. About a month ago the Bonanza publishes an interview
with Mr.. Kerr on the dacite intrusion, which has affected the majority
OF the mines in the camp. This interview was copied by the leading
mining papers of the United States. and gave a better understanding
OF our position. Particular interest now attaches to the Midway mine,
which is nearest to the solution of the dache formation than any other
mine. unless it be the Tonopah Extension.
In the latter mine they are prosecuting from the 1850 level in the
hope of getting the ledge which was lost through the dacite formation
coming in from the upper levels and shutting off the ore at the six hun
dred. In the Midway, they struck the ore beneath the dacite at the 500
level, but failed to get commercial values in it. Consequently a Wine
vas sunk from the 500, and the indications are that the or body will be
found at the 1000 depth. The Montana Tonopah encountered the ore
beneath the dacte at the 1855 level which is equivalent to the 500 level
of the Midway. The Montana people are awaiting the developments on
values have been found in the discovery in the Montana Tonopah, so
In the North Star they ire down to the 1850 level, and have n
This is promising. If they should discover paying ore at this level of
the dacie is at a depth of 1000 feet, for the North Star is 10 much
higher than the other mines, that a depth of 1850 feet would lei 1000
feet in the other mines. Again we have the Belmont with a big ledge of
Ore on the 1000 level, the continuation of the Mizpah ledge 1t has
not been determined whether this is below the dacte, but the chances
are that it is If so, then the problem has been solved, and there is no
limit to the amount of ore in the mines of Tonopah. The work in the
Midway and that In the Tonopah Extension will settle the question be-
yond doubt When it has been proven beyond doubt that we have paying
ore below the dache, then it will have been proven that Tonopah is the
greatest camp in the world.
In the meantime there is nothing to worry about, for the camp has
"a long life ahead of it, and there will be many fortunes taken from the
mines before they can peter out. In fact there is a fortune leaving here
10 the Mills and the smelters every week. There is enough rich ore in
all M upper levels to make many people rich many times over.

question from the testimony
and evidence which is before us.
We beg leave through the voice
of this body to call attention
again to the violation of Section
10 of the same act:. mo di-
rector or officer of any banking
corporation can be directly or
indirectly for himself, or as an
agent for others, borrow any of
the deposits or other funds of

good and sufficient security for
the payment Of the said loan,
which said security must be APP
proved by the Board of Direc-
tors of the corporation"
The unquestioned evidence is
before us that there has been
a fragrant violation of this pro-
vision and 1t is not
for us to cite the evidence of
the parties giving it.
We beg leave TO call the at
tention of this body to the vio-
lation of that statute found on
page i14 of the Session Laws
of 1907, which reads as follows:

clerk OF any bank and every in
dividual banker or agent, teller
or clerk of any individual bank

ISOLATION or banker is insolvent,

In this connection we again
refer to Section II of the Act
on page 1884, which reads: ut
shall be unlawful for any presi-
dent, director, manager, cashier
or other officer of any banking
institution to assent to the re-
ceptiOn of deposits and the cre-
alton of debts by such institu-

known rs the State Bank and
Trust Company should be imme-
diately ordered to discontinue,
and his letter is on file, as we
understand il. with said Board.
We find the liabilities of the
institution on that date to be-
$378,93S.42 in excess of its re-
sources. In other words, it was
aearly S4OO, 900 short of being
able to pay its liabilities.
That the second condition pre-
vailed is VIGOROUSLY true from
the fact that before that date all
branches of that institution
closed their doors, suspended
business and dishonored the
checks of its dcpositors. Not
Bithstanding the fact that this
condition was made known to
the State Bank Commissioners
on that date. and nothwithstand-
ing the further fact that the re-
port of the State Bank Exam
amer to that board disclosed the
unsafe and unreliable manner
OF doing business, we are unable

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
OF INTEREST TO THIS CAMP.

The story of the strike in the Ophr mine is of considerable interest
to this camp, where Just now extensive developments are being made at
depth. The discovery was made on the 2150 level and this augurs
we'll for Tonopah. 1t is generally conceded by mining men that the vein
system of this camp is a continuation of the Comstock lode, for the char
is the same
We are working for the ore here at the 100Ofoot level beneath the
dacte, and the Ophir strike is another good reason why we should get it.
Here o the Comstock they are 100 feet below our deepest workings,
aud the ore is of high grade, better than 800 a ton. On the 1000
foot level of the Belmont, the ore goes better than a hundred dollars a
ton, and there is no reason why it should not go down to greater depths

the insolvency of such bank,
and that it was in falling cir
cumstances."
As to the violation of this
criminal statute, we beg leave to
submit that evidence is before
this body, incomplete in itself,
but sufficient for this body to
declare by its voice that a crime
has been committed, and that
that crime is embezzIement, in
that, that deposits without ques-
ton were received on the 22d
day of October, 1907, and that
the officers of the State Bank
and Trust Company well knew
that that bank was insolvent
and in a failing condition on
that date.
In conclusion, your commit
tee on banking begs leave 10
submit to this body as a whole,
in no uncertain terms, in the
first place it has been astound-
ed at the awfulncss existing in
the condition and affairs of the
State Bank and Trust Company.
Business ability and business
tact and integrity seem to have
been entirely forgotten in the
management of the Tonopah
branch of that institution, in so
far as we are able to discern.
Less than 800 in coin is now
found within its vaults, with
liabilities that IIIn in figures
over 100000 and with collat-
eral, if II may be called colIat-
cral, that is poor, iimsy and
pitiable in the extreme.
We recommend to this body
that an order be made and SUBJ
mitted to the District Attorney
to proceed along lines as he may
see fit to the end that he MAJ
locate the true perpetrators of
the crimes in connection with
this institution; that he may
present to this body all the cvi.
dence available.
BY reason of the incomplete
nature of some of the evidence
before US as to sae crimes and
omissions suggested herein, we
beg leave to request this body
that we submit to the honorable
Court that It is our desire III we
adjourn at this time to adjourn
subject to the call of our chair.
man, and that when the authori-
ties have secured the proper and
complete evidence which will
warrant our final action in this
matter, that we be called togeth-
er by the call of the chairman
or the District Attorney, and
that that evidence be presented
at that time. In this respect we
recommend that the officials of
Nye county and of this Court
lend their untiring aid to the
District Attorney in his efforts
to bring before this body the
proper evidence, in order that
the steps of this body may be
guided along the lines where our
ultimate action will be absolute
and certain.

Merrill F.. Gates, former president Of

ness of language. One day he bought
q pair of trousers at Thompson's
clothing store in Amherst. He had
them charged, and in due time received
a bill, as follows: President Gates,

pants, So" President Gates sent the
bill back with the following notation

A month passed by and President
Gates received another bill for the
trousers, worded as on the former oc-
casion. Again he amended the bill and

In a months time President Gates
received a third bill from Thompson,
still with the Objectionable word

see Thompson in person. taking the
bill with him and explaining why he
had not paid it, concluding his remarks
by saying:
