When il comes to arousing the e"-

about as communicates as clan. He
don t krow thing ard never did and
never viii he. He sad that he was
IN hopes that instruction work on the
Winnemucea railroad would start about
july lst. He was in hopes that he
could get the rails and equipment by
that time. He was in hopes thet there
would be something doing in Caldwell

CHAMBER OF MINES
TO CHANGE ITS NAME

In view of the material value of the
oil industry to California and the fact
that the term mining is not gener-
ally construed by the public to include
thinning for oil,' the board of direct
ors of the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Mines, at their last meeting, consider
ed the advisability of changing the
name of the organization in order to
include some specific mention of the
oil industry.
The petroleum committee is one of
the most active of the vorious commit
tees among which the work of the
chamber is distributed, and this com.
mittee has already accomplished a
great deal for the benefit of the oil in
dustry of California. The chamber y
membership list includes many of our
most prominent oil men and oil well
supply houses, and in view of the in.
creasing value to the state of the oil
industry, which last year exceeded In
value the total production for Califor-
mia of gold. silver and copper. the di-
reetors of the Chamber of Mines con
sidered the matter of sufficient moment
to warrant the appointment of a special
committee to consider the subject and
report to the board of directors with
recommendation at an early date.
J. V. Viekers. of Vail L. Gates, was
appointed by President Wilson as
chairman of the committee, his asso-
ciates on the committee being w. &.

Arnold constituting engineer; T. f. Sci
lacv. OF the Mascot Oil company, and

WILL REvoLUTIoNIZE
| WHITE LEAD TRADE
Especial to Silver state.)

SPOKANE, Wash, April Geo.
f. Kingsley local chemist. claims to
have perfected process of manufac-
turing white lead direct from ore, thus
eliminating smelling with its wastes
and expense He has interested capital
here in $1,000,000 corporation, called
the Kingsley Chemical Reduction com
pany, and will erect plant of so
tons capacity costing 100000 at At
las, Idaho, 81 miles east of Spokane.
Kingsley says his process will revolu-
tionize the paint making industry in
that by the new method the concen-
trates can be taken direct from the
mill, and by action of chemicals dis
solve the lead, zine and other metals
from the ore, and through the addition
to the solution of other chemicals pre-
cipitate the purest white lead, taking
only "a hours in process. The method
now employed by paint makers re-
ouires four months. 1t is termed the
Dutch process and neeessitates the re-
duetion of the lead ore to thin sheet
metal, the white lead being produced
by the fumes of vinegar.

EUREKA VICTIM OF
DISHONEST BANKERS

Eureka, Nevada, is at present cry
ing example of the necessity of post
al savings bank or bank Of some
kind that will save ones money only
until required for use. Here is an iso-
lated but up to a few weeks ago a
stores, bank and all of the require
Fments of thriving community. Their
first troubles came when their railroad
to Palisade was washed out last month.
This shut off travel and traffic from
the main line of the Southern Pacific,
leaving the people more than eighty
Then came the failure of the Eureka
bank, locking up the only money in
town. All of these misfortunes forced
the mines to close down, throwing the
men out of work and depriving them of
the means of earning a living. The
storekeepers took advantage of the
general misfortune to raise prices on
their goods, and also to refuse credit.
Then the telegraph line broke, shutting
off appeals for outside help.
All this has happened almost in our
midst, in an adjoining county, and is
anOtner one OF tnOSe Sau cases OF ava.
rice and dishonesty among the banking
fraternity that has already bankrupted
the country so many times and wreck
ed so many thousands of homes, and Is
accountable for so many suicides.
There are scoundrels in all lines of
business. The banking business offers
peculiar advantages to the suave,
smooth thief that no other does because
he gets to handle the actual cash of a
confiding public and with ten chances
to escape the consequences of his
wrong doing to one of ever being seri-
ously punished even if caught. The
Bankers association of the United
States should place their secret service
force on the hot trail of those bankers
now under suspicion and help run down
those who have already disgraced the
business or banking and business gen.
orally must continue to suffer. How
ever, the greatest sufferers are those
Industrious men and women who work
hard and try to save and who pay their
debts and build homes.
What encouragement have this class
to save and trust their earnings TO
banks that so frequently "failf' The
town of Eureka is now a sad answer.
