GOOD EXAMPLE
OF The OKLAHOMA
BANKING Law
tBy associated Press.)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 20
With supply of money received
from the state guaranty fund, sup
plemented by the cash on hand of
the bank, State Bank Commissioner
Young today paid about 400 depos-
itors of the Columbia Bank and
Trust company, which suspended
yesterday. No excitement prevailed,
the people apparently trusting in
the state guaranty fund.
Interest throughout the state to-
day was intense. The Columbia con-
Germ was the reserve for about $50
other state banks and had on depos-
it $1,S00,000 of their deposits. A
failure in the application of the
guaranty law would mean the ruin
of many banks, and financial panic
throughout the state.

it in good faith" said the president.
DR.. j. A. Holmes, chief of the
technologic branch of the United
States survey, of Washington, fol-
lowed with remarks on mine In
spection"
Judge Peter J. Breen of Eureka
county was the next speaker, and
dwelt on National Mining Laws
and Their Meaning to the People"
At this juncture of the proceed
ings, James c. Goodwin of Tempe,
Arizona, arose and presented his
ideas with regard to the changing
of the mining laws as proposed by
Mr.. Kirby. Mr.. Goodwin stated that
he had resided with the prospectors
for many years and, in fact, had
himself prospected.
His refutations were very clearly
brought out. "The prospector," he
said, in many cases is not able to
pay the 500 per claim. He has to
labor half the year to secure the
funds with which to work, and if
the change would be made he
would find himself without loca-
tion at the expiration of the first
year.
Captain George w. Thatcher, of
this city, also spoke against the pro-
posed amending of the laws as sug-
gested by Mr.. Kirby.
Shortly after O'Clock the ses-
sion adjourned until evening. At
8 o'clock, preceded by the stock ex-
change band, the delegates ,and
many townspeople assembled at the
pavilion, which was crowded to the
doors. Every available seat was oc-
cupied and scores were forced to
stand. For about Is minutes the
band rendered a number of selec-
tions, all of which were received
with applause. The start of the
session was made by the playing of
the Star Spangled Banner" and it
is safe to say the music of Sousas
band was no sweeter than that pro-
duced by the visitors. Everyone
stood during the playing of this
piece.
The business session was opened
by Senator William C. Ralston, as
sistant treasurer of the United
States at San Francisco who spoke
on "Comstock Days"
At the start of his address
he paid tribute to the prospectors
