ers at Work and Development
Means Much to District.

Centennial, Wyo., Jan. 24.-Miners
who cam down from the camp of the
Utopia mine today report a big strike
Of sulphide ore in that property, the
largest tunnel being now into ore
which has been penetrated for several
feet and the upper wall is not yet in
sight. This is said to be the old vein
known as the Peabody" from which
it is said some very rich ore was taken
in the early 7Os and which gave large
returns in gold.
Will start Drifting.
At present a full crew of miners are
at work at this property and it is said
that drifting will at once be started
on the new strike. This will undoubt-
eddy result in the opening up of an i'm
mense ore shoot as it is known that
the ore just encountered carries gold
throughout the entire vein.
New Life to Business.
This strike means much to not only
the Utopia company and Centennial
but to the whole surrounding country
as well, and will result in adding new
life to the mining business in general.
Will Reach Bradley Vein.
This is but one of the three veins of
gold ore to be reached through their
tunnel, the well known Bradley vein,
which gives surface values in gold as
high as A ounces, being the next to
be reached.

Cause of the Panic.

Il suppose hat he who will write
the history of the panic OF 1907 will
find it quite difficult to give to each
factor in the late panic its proper place.
There are some who place the respon-
sibility on the president. There are
some others who think the federal
courts responsible for the terrible up
heaval. Still others find that the whole
trouble was caused by Over-specula-
ton in stocks and bonds. Still others
claim that the cumulative effect of
public and private extravaganza caused
the trouble. Some lay it to the fact of
the planting of immense amounts of
money in new enterprises that would
not yield any returns for a long time
yet to come. Some believe it was
caused by the shortage of the crops,
and some have laid the trouble at the
doors of the banks themselves. Many
other suggestions have been made, but
| have not time to name them.

Alarm system Damaged.

There was a delay in s,lmmoning the
fire department, as the signal system
was put out of order. A panic in the

terrupted the exercises and dismissed

Trust Companies Jealous.

But, to my mind, the greatest of
all factors in the late panic was the
friction between the national banks of
New York city and the trust com-
panies of that place. The trust com
panies have invaded the field of bank
ing without having thrown around
them the safeguards which time has
demonstrated to be safe and sound in
the conduct of the banking business.
National banks in New York city are
required to keep in their vaults in
cash 25 per cent of the whole amount
of their deposits. Banks located in
| cities which are not central reserve
cities are required to keep in their own
vaults in cash only Is per cent of their
deposits. Now, the trust companies
were only required to keep in their
vaults in cash but > per cent Of
their deposits. There is quite a diff
ference between 3 per cent and 25 per
cent. No doubt laws will now be
passed putting the trust companies on
the same basis as the national banks,
and such a panic as We had last year
will not likely come again. 1t vas the
most u"ncalled-for panic l know any
thing about.
Looked Blue for Country Banks.
ION the last Monday morning Of
October last every bank in the cOun-
try was informed by wire that no cur
rency would be shipped to any bank,
no matter where it was, and, further,
the country banks were advised to pay
out no cash, but to make all payments
by issuing cashiers checks. This news
made things look very blue for the
country banker. He had no clearing
house behind him and he was shut up
to his own resources. Most of the
country banks were at once seized
with a panicky feeling and went imme-
diately to hording money and paying
their own debts by issuing cashiers
checks. This action of the country
banks no doubt intensified the situa-

We p0inted out at that time that there was
no more reason for granting local option on the
question whether the saloons should or should
not be open on Sundays than there was on the
nuestiOn whether or not they should be opened
ar all In fact there is much more reason Tor
the latter form of local option than Tor the
former or at least for adopting it first, since the
question with which it deals is primary ana the
other is only secondary Common sense requires
that men shall decide whether or not there are
TO be any saloons at all before they decide on
what days they shall be open. If there are no
saloons il is obvious that they cannot be open
on Sundays.
But now the very people who were so hot for
home rule or local option on the secondary queS-
ton are equally hot against it on the primary
question Having denounced it as tyranny not
to let municipalities decide the Sunday open
ing question for themselves, they now with equal
zeal denounce it as tyranny to let them decide
for themselves the question Of license or no
license. When they thought it would proht
them they hailed home rule the greatest of
virtues Now that they fear that it might in
