DEPOSITORS GET PART
OF THEIR MONEY BACK

At the failure of the Searchlight
Bank and Trust company last year
it looked like a total loss to the
depositors and other who had any
connection with the failure. The
following from the Searchlight Bull
letin would indicate that the re-.
ceiver of the bank is doing some
good work:
Judge Brown has authorized Re.
viewer B. Macready of the Search
light Bank and Trust company to
gladden. the hearts of the deposi.
tors with dividend of 10 per
cent. This disbursement will take
place in about four weeks time OF
as soon as the period of legal pub.
LEGATION has been completed.
Mr.. Macready promises addition.
al dividends of 10 or Is per cent
following the next term of court
six months hence. Inability of the
receiver to act without the sane.
tion of the court made it impossible
to declare a large dividend at this
time"

KEY PITTMAN
BACK FROM HIS
EASTERN TRIP
NEW YORK CURB is MONOPO-
LIVED BY TRADING IN
TONOPAH STOCKS.

Hon. Key Pittman returned to
Tonopah yesterday morning after an
absence of three weeks, during
which he visited several of the
prominent cities on the Atlantic sea-
board. The trip was business one,
made in the interests of clients
engaged in mining. In speaking
of his journey yesterday Mr. Pitt
man had the following to say:
Il spent the greater portion OF
my time while away at New York
and Boston.
Il noted a very friendly feeling
in the east toward Nevada invest
ments of the better sort, particu-
larly in the Tonopah securities.
Several times while in New
York City l visited the curb mar
met and found it alomst monopo-
liked by Tonopah trading. Belmon.
was the leader, with Midway strong
ly supported. Extension was dull
only because of the absence of
shares in which to trade.
There is now a great deal OF
capital waiting to reorganize and
develop Tonopah properties. In fact
there are several distinct groups OF
capital in New York, Pittsburg and
Philadelphia that intend to partici-
pate in the reorganization and de-
velopment of the properties extend
ing away to the westward from
those that are now producing
This is planned to be done b.,
the formation of close corporations.
In each instance the treasury will
be amply provided for before work
is started The people there fully
realize the geological conditions OF
the camp and know that in some
places the ore formation cannot be
encountered in less than 1000 feet.
There has been some fear mol-
ifested back there with regard 10
coppers. This fear largely exists
in the minds of the brokers, who
gauge everything by the conditio
of the Amalgamated.
The fact that the price of COZ
per holds firm does not seem &c
have occurred to them, but it docs
occur to the buyers of copper pop
critics. There is abundant capital
in New York and Boston to investi-
gate any well recommended cop
per proposition.
Copper curb brokers are very
greatly interested in the Mason Val.
ley, or Yerington district. They
expect a great deal of activity thee
on the completion of the proposed
smelter."

TWO VALUABLE
INTERESTS COMBINE
AT ROUND MT.
b. c. DOWNING AND j. A. b.
CHANAN JR. FORM COALITION
OF GOOD PROPERTIES.

One of the most important com-
binations which has taken place in
the hydraulic camp, as Round
Mountain is usually termed, during
the past six months is that of the
Downing and Buchanan Jr. interests
as both of them comprise valuable
holdings and the merging of the
interests will insure a continuance
of work on these blocks of ground
and will enable them to carry on
campaign of development on a
much larger scale than heretofore
planned.
Mr.. Downing, who has the Sass
Sal fraction under lease from Jh,
Elsie Mining company and who con
trolls the Shoshone Milling COM
pany, joins with Buchanan in his
lease on Blue Jacket No. and
Blue Jacket claim.
On this lease over two hundred
feet of work has been done and a
hoist now on the assy Sal will be
transferred to the Blue Jack 1t
leases and work will be started at
the end of this month.
Two rich stringers have been
struck on Blue Jacket No. :lai!l
and drifting will be carried on rom
the so foot level of the shaft in
order to catch one of the Fair
view lodges, which, from it's pres
ent course, should cut the No 2
claim about thirty-five feet west of
the shaft
Mr.. Downing has purchased a
Huntington which he will install in
his mill, together with the equip
ment which he has at present.
1t has been understood for some
time that the Round Mountain Min
ing company would enter upon !,
campaign of addition to their plant
and the past week has evidenced
the beginning.
two-compartment and manway
shaft has been started on the oil
Combination ground and a power
full hoist has been placed in posi-
ton, thus paving the way for the
development of one of the richest
portions of the acreage owned "
the company.
The company has in view the
doubling of the capacity of Their
mill which will allow them to treat
about $50 tons daily and will give
employment to a larger number Of
men.
Manager Thorn, who is recos-
nized as one of the best engineers
that has ever come to Nevada,
has placed the mine in such shape
as to make it one of the best pro-
ducers in the state and, assisted b.
Dick" Earnest, great things may be
expected from the 'Sunnyside,' as
it is known throughout the coun-
fire.

The car whacker at the local de-

MEAT YEARS OLD FOUND
In GOLD STORAGE PLANT

Fishermen, farmers, cattIe-raisers,
egg growers and truck gardeners
don't get living prices, hardly. They
are up against it, just the same as the
public. We have on storage here
5000 barrels of apples. The owner
told me to-day he was going to pay
the daily wages of one of his men for
every barrel of apples sold. He
bought the apples for about SO bar
rel and will sell them for about Sc.
Storage charges are fifty cents a bar
rel, SO his profit is $3.50. It's the
same way with those beets, turnips
and other vegetables there"
In one of the coolest of the storage
rooms attention was called to barrels
filled with turkeys.
They're two years old" the guide
said.
will they be sold?T
NSure; good as the day they came
here.
In another room the reporter saw
barrel packed with geese. While
testing the firmness with which the
flesh was frozen the neck of a goose
was snapped off as if it were pipe
stem.
@Those geese have seen their Sec
ond birthday here" the employee re-
marked, meaning they had been in
storage for at least two years.
One of the party asked if tainted
meat were ever received for storage
The reply was that such meat was
received and frozen, the process con-
cealing the faint and making it posi-
BILE for the owner to dispose of the
meat as staple grade.
While hn1eoxuiyoc orc fagney 1riuax,
by the high prices to boycott meat
here is what the Ice and Refrigeration
Blue Book says is being held in cold
storage:
100000 cattle.
100000 calves.
25,000,000 sheep and lambs, So.
100000 hogs.
According to these figures from the
official guide book circulated only
among cold storage men, there is in
storage one entire animal for each
adult in the United States, with
enough whole animals left over to
give two to each family.
This meat is being held in 558 cold
storage plants. In addition it may in
terest the worried housekeeper to
know that in seventy-eight fish freez-
| ing plants in the country there are
fish waiting to be doled out that are
valued at $25,000,0O0.
In other cold storage plants during
any year now, according to the stor-
| age mems own statistics, the strug-
| Cling wage Garner will find
100000, 900 eggs.
130,000,000 pounds of poultry.
Fruits valued at $50,000,000.
Then, besides, there are millions of
pounds of potatoes, onions, thousands
of turtles, cells, cases of canned goods
and milk, butter and cheese valued
at 500, 100000.
The total value OF meat and food
stuffs placed in cold storage during a
year at present is, according to the
figures of the storage concerns, close
to SO, 100000.
These cold storage figures do not
include the tremendous value of
liquors IN storage at breweries, dis.
tilleries and private places, the value
of furs in storage, nor the value of
food supplies in cold storage at pri.
vate plants.
All these food stuffs are hustled
into cold storage at the time when,
owing to the laws of nature, the food
would ordinarily be cheap to the con-
sumner. They are held to any length
of time the food kings think necessary
to maintain high prices.

CENTURY FLYER OFF
TRACK NEAR UTICA
Engineer and Fireman Killed, But
Passengers Escape.
MISSED SIGNAL TO GO SLOW
Train Was Running East 60 Miles an
Hour--Jumpcd Switch Set to
Shift 1t to Another Track-En
CINE Upset and Wrecked.

Utica, N. Y.-An error on the part
of the engineer, which cost both his
life and that of the fireman, caused
the engine of the Twentieth Century
Limited to jump the rails near st.
townsville, sixty-three miles west OF
Albany. 1t turned completely over
before it came to a stop, crushing the
two men beneath it. but the couplings
between it and the passenger coaches
behind parted and, though most OF
the cars left the track, all remained
upright and not single passenger
was hurt.
In statement issued from the
offices of the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad Company it
was explained that the accident must
have been due to John Scanlon, the
engineer, misjudging his speed as he
took switch leading his train from
track No. l to track No. 4, but it was
suggested by some of the passengers
that the thick snow that was falling
at the time may have prevented Scan
Ion from seeing clearly the caution
signal that was set against him to
warn him of the cross-oVer. 1t is es-
tablished that the towerman in the
signal box close by had his signals set
correctly.
1t was $40 a. m. when the TWEEN
tieth Century neared st. townsville,
and it was running exactly on time at
fully sixty miles an hour A tenn
porary breakdown on track No. /,
which the flyer usually follows, made
1t necessary to transfer it to track No.
A. and Joseph Battle, the towerman,
set his signals and switches accord
ingly. Instead of slowing down Scan
lon ran by the tower so fast that Bat
tie was unable to give him message
that was awaiting him, and moment
later the engine, which was one of
the large types, struck the switch.
At the rate it was going it failed to
leave the straight line and follow the
curve, and the unevenness of the
switch caused it to bound high in the
air Scanlon, by sticking to his post
and putting on the emergency brakes,
did much toward saving the lives of
the passengers, but he himself was
killed instantly, being damned be-
tween his cab and the tender M j.
Handville, the fireman, tried to jump
to safety, but his brains were dashed
out where he fell.
Scanlon. who was thirty-five years
old, was accounted one of the finest
men in the service, and no one can
explain how he came to make his
fatal mistake. He leaves a widow and
four children. Handville, who was
twenty-seven years old, is survived by
a widow and three children.

New York City.-On condition that
the name of the guide be withheld,
entrance was gained by World re-
porter to one of the largest cold stor-
age plants in New York City, and
methods employed to make the public
pay fictitious prices for food were
seen at first hand.
All that was revealed by the inves-
tigation holds true, an experienced
employee said, in many cold storage
plants in the greater city Records
sedulously guarded by the plants
would disclose, it was said, staple
foodstuffs in sufficient quantities to
knock the bottom out of high prices
in New York Immediately, but which
are kept out of the market in order
to force the public to pay exorbitant
prices.
These supplies are canned in the
cold" for from six months to three
years or more and then released grad
ually during high-priced seasons,
when they are sold as fresh products
at gilt-edge figures.
Some of the articles viewed by the
reporter were:
$4,000 pounds of halibut placed in
the plant three years ago.
Barrels of turkey and geese (num-
Der not given) two years old or more
800 cases Of eggs, the remainder of
5000 cases placed in storage begin
ming last April, purchased at about
eighteen cents per dozen, and released
during the past two months to be
sold at from forty-eight to fifty-two
cents per dozen as strictly fresh
eggs"
10000 cases of fish (of different
varieties, from one year to three
years old.
5000 barrels of apples.
100000 pounds of meat held in
storage for seven months.
There has been big call for eggs
recently" the employee said, surveying
the spacious room, which is kept at a
temperature of thirty-one degrees
throughout the year. "The cases in
here reached to the ceiling until a
short time ago. Most of the eggs
came from the West last April and
May and cost the buyer about eigh-
teen cents a dozen. He's selling 'em
now for fifty-two cents. You can't
lose on eggs. If they get too old they
are broken up and sold to the bakers.
Come along and III show you how
they do it,.
He led the way to another room
filled with four-gallon and two-gallon
cans, and in which the temperature
was only few degrees above zero
The larger cans were filled with the
egg yolks and the smaller with the
whites" He said that eggs in some
of the cans were five years old and the
contents came from China.
A man who participated in the
tour of inspection and who formerly
worked in a cold storage plant told OF
the top of one of these cans being
knocked off in handling. The stencil,
he said, was so overpowering that
workmen refused to handle the can
Eggs in this form are known to the
trade as 'eggoline," and are used ex-
tensively in the making of pound cake
and other pastries
Two huge storerooms filled with
meat which hung in a temperature OF
six degrees above zero were next Wis
tied. Beef, veal, mutton, lamb and
other meats of total weight of 200,.
600 pounds had been in storage for
seven months. 1t costs a quarter of a
cent month for storage charges on
this meat, which is purchased during
the spring and summer at the lowest
wholesale prices and distributed when
the public is compelled to buy al
famine figures,

Cattle Production Does Not Keep
Pace With Population, Says Expe

New York City.-Nothing alarming
to the consumer is seen in the high
price OF meat by the American Agri-
culturist. In it's annual review of live
stock on the farms it says that the in
crease in value in the last twelve
months, in spite of a decrease in the
number of hogs and cattle other than
mich cows amounts to 100000, 600,
or the largest annual increment ever
recorded. The upward movement of
values the last year is simply part
OF the upward trend.
