While he is Rawhide and Yerington
booster, 4. II. Whitacre, banker of
Yerington, could not but express his ad-
miration for Goldfeld after spending a
couple of days here and looking over
the camp. 1t was his first visit
here and he did not expect to find
the metropolitan city that exists in this
neck o. the desert. Not only the mines
but the camp itself appealed to him. He
praised the buildings, both public and
private, and the spirit of the men who
made them possible.
Mr.. Whitacre is one of the original To-
Gators of the camp of Rawhide and owns
considerable of the best property i'll that
camp. Among others of his possessions
is two-thirds interest in the Mascot
which is practically Grutt hill. This
property was leased to Captain Hassell
and his associates, the consideration
being S45, 900 and the period of time two
wears. He also owns the Hoodlum
group, which is the very best part of the
district and which will undoubtedly
make him a handsome sum of money
within the next few months.
MIR. Whitacre has returned to his Yer
ington home temporarily, but will III the
near future establish offices at Rawhide.

COURT GIVES LABORERS
JUDGMENT

Edgar James Cooper, local real es-
tate dealer, appeared Thursday in Judge
lannon's court as defendant in an action
brought by F. RYAN to compel the pay
ment of 500 due for labor performed on
a mining claim in the district.
From the evidence adduced at the
trial il seems that Cooper gave Ryan a
contract to sink shaft on property for
other parties. stating that he himself
would stand good. The contract price
was 5000 When the work was finished,
$500 of the sum was paid by Cooper and
the remainder promised in short while.
The short while dragged into weeks and
months without any signs of the money
forthcoming Weary OF the delay, Mr..
Ryan attached the deposit of Cooper in
the Lyon County bank as we'll as certain
real estate of the defendant.
The case came to trial Thursday and
Mr.. Ryan was given judgment against
Cooper, the latter of whom was fined
the costs of court. II is understood that
the case will be appealed.

WILL BE CHANGED
Mr.. TAYLOR Says Southwestern Railroad
plans Are to Be Revised.

W. l.. Taylor, president of the To-
peka-Southwestern. is back from New
York where he has been LOT the pass
ten days in conference with LAM
orecht Brothers & Co., with reference
r. the building of the Topeka-South-
western. Mr.. Taylor says If you want
to see lot of blue people go down 10
New York and talk to the bankers anu
brokers in the dnancia! distrlct: me
Investors have just quit investing IN
propositions unless it . can be SHOWN
that they are perfectly sound and a
reasonable margin to protect them.
Some of the Oldest railroads are nav
ing considerable trouble in borrowing
money. Some of them are perhaps
bonded for more than they cost ana
the bears have pounded down thelr
stock until they have no equity above
their bonded indebtedness Mr. Lam
sprecht saws that is the trouble now.
The majority of the large corporations
are overcapitaliZed and overDonded,
and the people who have money TO IN
vest are not going to put their money
in such securities If they can find any
thing else to invest in that will give
them q reasonable return on their in
vestment and at the same time have
their money invested where they feel
that 1t is safe.
A queer state of affairs exist in New
York. On last Thursday money went
begging at IL per cent. but the
same time none OF the brokers' or
bankers there could get loan on any
securities unless the securities would
stand the most rigid investigation. Two
months ago we thought the stocks
were exceedingly cheap, but a good
many of them have broken off several
points in that time and some Of the
oldest Wall street men say they will
continue to go lower as long as the
corporations have any water in their
capital.
In speaking of the Topeka-South-
western, Mr.. Taylor said: 81 discussed
our railroad project with people other
than those connected with Lamprecht
Brothers, and they all assured me that
with the prospects we had before US
and with the liberal amount of right of
way we had donated, and the large
amount of city and township bonds
voted, we should have sufficient mar
gin to insure the investor that his
money should be perfectly safe if in
vested in our bonds. In fact it is the
new propositions that have been in
corporated on conservative basis that
the investor Is going to invest in. A
proposition like our railroad can be
easily investigated and there is plenty
of money in the country to be invested
If. the investor can be shown that his
money is safe. but the time is past
when investors will invest in bonds at
one hundred cents on the dollar when
the bonds do not represent that
amount invested in assets
There will be meeting of the board
of directors of the Topeka Southwest
ern held in Topeka tomorrow night.
At this meeting Mr.. Taylor will make a
report of his conference with Lam
precht Brothers to the directors. Mr.
Taylor admits that there will probably
be some changes made in the arrange
ments for the building of the railroad,
but until after this meeting there will
be nothing to give out to the public.
