BANK SHORTAGE
REDUCED 100000

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The New
Bank issued a cheerful statement to-
night, tightening by 100000 the gig
antic stock and bond theft with which
it's youthful cashier, Erwin Wider,
now a fugitive, stands accused. The
banks loss, says the statement, will
not exceed 100000. Heretofore the
most conservative estimates placed
the value of missing securities at
100000.
With the grand jury investigation
of the case now under way, Wider's
whereabouts is still mystery, al
though it was reported to-day that
he was under surveillance at White
Plains, N. Y, only twenty-five miles
from New York City. This could
not be confirmed.
witnesses including representa-
tives of stock exchange houses with
which the cratic young Spectator
had dealings, were examined by the
grand jury to-day and 1t was rumor-
ed tonight that an indictment had
been found. If so it had not been
handed up in court.
whether wider was at any time
pronouncedly successful in his stock
market plunges is a matter OF de-
bate. At any rate his operations
we're on no mean scale. During a
twelve months, it was learned to-day,
one firm bought 100000 of stocks for
his account and it Is assumed that ne
must have been on the right side OF
the market at times, although ne is
said to have lost heavily as hear
during one of the great bull move
ments in cotton.
The statement issued tonight by
the bank says in part: "A full ex-
animation shows that the loss cannot
in any event exceed 100000, and OF
that amount a large sum is certain to
be recovered by the bank. The rob-
berry cannot in any way either affect
the normal course of business OF the
bank, nor exert any influence upon
the banks dividend"

pert 20 make an examination. with
a view of commencing extensive

thought that null will be recon-

which lies upon the several dumps
of the property. The ores are
principally silver bering galena the
higher grades Of which have been
shipped as mined, which will likely
be continued in the future working
Of the mines. 1t is found here
tlr.t for each ton Of shipping ores
mined, there are from five to ten
tons of lower grad,s produced that
has to go for waste until the arrange
to mill it, by which mems the
shipping product may be doubled.
1t is hoped that the work will start
and I've pushed to success and that
along with it any more promising
mines in the Irwin district may re
sumo operations.

Dupont Tunnel

Foreman Andreatta of the Du-

his work and will arrange for the
putting on of two shifts Mt once.
The company propose To put in
their water power plant at an early
date which will be placed on the
main Crystal river stream at n
point near what is called the Punch
bowl that is Just below the main
falls in Crystal river canon. Tbi,
is something over a mile below the

ing machines which are now being
experimental by which means it
would be practical to push the long
drift through the mountain within
year after it began cutting. 1t Is
said that the main requisite to the
success of their new tunnel mach
ines is the power with which to
drive the heavy rotating device
that carries tha chisel cutting drills
1t is understood that the tunnel
is pointed to undercut the North
Pole and Eureka group mines, the
former lying at the hend of Crystal
basin while the later is on the sum
nit of Treasurey mountain. Both
of these properties have immense
bodies of ore ontcropping Mt the
surface, most of which is too low
grade to bear shipping charges
but would pay handsome profits il
milling facilities were offered. The
Dupont tunnel should tsp these
mines when extended sufficient
distance, which would open the way
mine, transport and mill the ores
from both properties. We could
name a dozen more good mine pro-
positions along the course of the
tunnal bore, which will also be
opened in similar manuer by the
drift, when it is finally proje cted
under and through Galena noun
tains.
