Judge Peter Breen, who arrived In
Austin Monday to hold q term Of court.
talked freely to a representative Of the
Reveille regarding business conditions
10 Eureka, his home town, since the
hank failure and other hardships result
ing from the floods aud railroad wash
outs. The conversation relative to
Eureka affairs is set forth as follows,
verbatim:
Judge, have conditions in Eureka
improved any Of late?
Conditions are about what they
were six or seven weeks ago. The big
mining properties are shut down owing
to the lack of facilities for bringing in
supplies. Until the narrow guage
from Palisade is rebuilt. or enough of
freighting teams are on the road to
lower the cost of hauling, the mires
cannot be operated to advantage;
Buckhorn, of course. is an exception"
But there Is no distress over there, /
hope?
mo. we are hard up. owing to the
fact that our people cannot draw ON
their reserves in the Eoreka County
Bank, that is ALL"
BY the way, is it true as stated, that
the bank is able to pay dollar for dol
lar and is solvent?
81 am sorry to say" replied the
Judge. Il am not in a position to en-.
dorse such expectation. II the bank
were solvent, it is not plain to some
people, how the bank examiner came
to order it closed some several weeks
ago. Personally, all that is before me
on the subject is the sworn statement
OF the late bank examiner. M. M. Van
Fleet, deceased, to the effect that in
the Summer of 1909, and again on
February last he made official investi-
CATION of the inst tuition and found and
reported its insolvency. 1t maybe,
however, that the whole business is a
dream, and the Eureka County Bank
is still running full tilt, that depositors
are still drawing their money out of it
as of yore; but to say as much in Eu-
reka, would lead to unpleasant personal
consequences"
Is it true as reported in the SENTINEL

BETTER RAILWAY NEWS EXPECTED
Contract for Reconstruction of Road Will
Probably Soon Be Closed

A more hopeful feeling exists among
the people of Eureka generally now that
it is thought the reconstruction OF the
washed out Eureka & Palisade Railway
may be commenced almost any day.
Among the reasons advanced fer this
sanguine view is the letter received here
by Agent 1. O. G. Whitmore from the
superintendent of Wells. Fargo g. 90.
at San Francisco. published in another
column of this issue, canceling the pro-
posed discontinuance Of its Office in Eu-
reka, and the further fact that Asst.
Supt. A r. Randolph OF the railroad is
in San Francisco, where the head Of
fcials of the E. & P. now are. Mr.. Rau-
dolph's visit. it is thought. being to
confer with these gentlemen regarding
reconstruction matters.
IL Is now thought here that the ne VI
of the letting Of the contract for the re-
building of the washed out railroad be-
tween Eureka and Palisade will be re-
csived in q few days.

DISCUSS new EUREKA BANK
Proposition Made to Eureka Business
Men to Start National Bank

men to Start National Bank
A number Of Eureka business men
met in the parlor Of the Brown Hotel
last Saturday evening to listen to q
proposition from Wallace NJ. Hamilton
regarding the starting Of q new bank
T, here.
Mr.. Hamilton stated that while con-
ditions in Eureka hardly warranted
starting q bank at this time, his general
knowledge Of the resources Of the
county and Of this district, together
with the firm belief that the Eureka &
Palisade Railway would shortly be re-
built, made him sanguine regarding
the result of the new enterprise.
His proposition was to the effect that
he and John Z. Hanzlik, q banker and
business man OF C~azenovia, Wisconsin,
would start q National bank In Eureka
with $4,000 capital. the minimum
amount on which q charter from the
Government could be obtained, il IL
OF Eareka's business men would take
stock in the new bank, thus guarantee
ing their interest aud support. Mr..
Hamilton said they would be willing
that the people here take half Of the
capital stock, or any less amount.
They desired that at least six OF the
directors be business men Of the town,
and said very plainly they would have
to be directors in fact, and not mere
dummies. They would want Mr..
Hanzlik to be president and manager
Of the new bank.
AS all those present except Mr.. Ham
ilton we're depositors in the defunct Ed
reka County Bank aud are now going
through some strenuous banking ex-
perience. their willingness to learn
more Of banking methods caused the
latter to be met with q cross fire OF
questions that made the meeting lively
aud showed that considerable interest
was being taken in the proceedings.
Mr.. Hamilton answered all questions
in q frank manner and made a favorable
impression.
At the conclusion Of the meeting a
number Of those present informed Mr.
Hamilton that they thought well of
his proposition; that the carrying on
of their business here at this time with
out a bank nearer than Exc or Reno
was proving most inconvenient, and
that they would take stock in the new
bank aud welcome its opening. but
that the amount OF stock they could
take at this time would be limited. He
stated that he expected to return here
shortly to look over the Eureka Live
Stock Company's property with a view
OF buying if the price placed on it by
the trustees came within the figures he
felt would be a fair price. and in the
meantime they could take the banking
matter under consideration.

GOLD STRIKE NEAR EUREKA
Ledge 40 Feet Wide and 1000
Feet Long Discovered Garry
ing Gold Values

Quite an excitement was created In
Eureka the forepart of the week by the
reports OF a gold and silver ore strike
seven or eight miles northeast of Eu-
reka at what is known as the old Rrgli
milk ranch, about one mile and a half
from Newark summit. The strike was
made on one OF six claims owned by
Henry Parmigiani. the rancher. and his
son. A shaft was sunk on this claim to
a depth of Is feet on the ledge, the foot
wall being pure lime. The ore has the
appearance of what is known al red
carbonate. Tue ledge is about 40 feet
wide, runs due north and south q dis
lance Of 1000 feet. and can be easily
traced for that distance. IL is described
by those who have visited the place as
being a big quartz dyke or blowout.
Some prospecting was done 10 that
vicinity last Fall. favorable looking float
having been found at that time. but the
ledge was not encountered until
sinking was commenced about six
weeks ago. At that time the high
est assays Of samples of the ore made
in Eureka gave 81 lao per ton In gold.
Since that time it is said no other
assays Of the ore have been made here,
owing to the fact that there is no assay
office in Eureka at present.
While il is reported hat the whole
country ~ the vicinity Of the strike is
minerali and the Probabilities favor
able Of sSfHiug gold ore OF g~0oa-.AlE1E-
still 90 nothing has been fonnd
there to cause undue excitement.
Tuesday fully 80 people left Eureka
for the scene of the strike, and We'd
nesday about Is more. 1t is also re.
ported the whole country in the vicin.
ity of the strike is already located.
For the present Mr.. Parmigiani has
discontinued work where be began
sinking on the ledge and is now doing
the necessary location work on his
other locations adjoining. After this
latter work is completed he will again
resume sinking in the shaft in the
hope that as depth is attained the values
in the ore will increase.
