Eureka County Bank Closed

Following closely upon the clos
ing of the National Bank of Rhyo-
lite, of which o. J. Smith of Reno
is president, comes news hat the
Eureka County bank, in northeast
ern Nevada, in which Smith is also
heavily interested, has been closed.
The action was taken on Tuesday,
the order being sent by telegraph,
and that evening State Bank Ex-
aminer Van Fleet left for Eureka
to take charge of affairs. 1t is
supposed that he arrived there last
evening.
Following this order the board Of
state bank commissioners held a
special meeting at Carson yesterday
and adopted a resolution calling
upon the attorney general to apply
at once for a receiver for the bank,
on the grounds that the institution is
insolvent, its capital impaired, and
to protect the interests of the de-
positors. The deposits of the bank
are placed at $500, 600, while the
extent of the resources have not yet
been determined.
Commenting on the action, one
member of the board stated, that
aside from the Rhyolitc bank. the
Eureka bank was the only one
against which suspicion had been
raised, and that all the other banks
in the state are in a first class con-
dition.
From what can be learned. the
closing of the Eureka bank was
more or less due to the closing of
the Rhyolitc bank. 1t is understood
that the banks reserve has been be-
low legal requirements and all
efforts to have the officers bring il
up have failed.
Mr.. Smith, when asked for a
statement last evening, said that
he had not yet been officially notified
of the bank comissioncrs' action.
and until that time did not care to
go into a detailed statement. He
declared hat all deposits would be
paid in full.
The bank commissioners will be
in session in Carson again today,
but whether their business will have
to do with the Eureka bank or some
thing else, has not been announced.

A Republican Waterloo

Last Tuesday an election was held
the fourteenth Massachusetts, con-
grcssional district to elect a success
or to the late VIM. C.. Lowering. The
candidates were Eugene N. Foss,
democrat, and Vim. r. Buchanan,
republican. In 1908, the district
gave a republican majority of H.
$50. At Tuesdays election this
majority was wiped out and Foss
won by 5,S4O.
The election of Foss caused great
rejoicing among democrats in con-
grcss and corresponding depression
among republicans. The story is
told in the following Washington
dispatch of the ODD:
The Massachusetts congressional
election yesterday was discussed
around the capital today before the
two honscs convened. The news of
the victory of Mr.. Foss, Democratic
candidate in the election to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
Representative lowering, a Rcpub-
leans, raised the spirits of Dem
ocrats. Many Republicans con
tended the result had no especial
significance, having been determined
largely by the local conditions.
Champ Clark, the Democratic
leader, said:
1.-THE news is the most pleasant
and the most important political
news that has come over the wires
since 1892. Taken in connection
with the election in the old district
of De Almond in Missouri, it de-
monstratcs that the same causes are

REMEMBER THE ALAMO"

The siege Of the Alamo was one of
the most picturesque struggles for
liberty that has taken place on the
American continent. Unwilling to be
dominated by the Mexicans, the Texans
v~aliantly resisted and finally succeeded
In throwing off the yoke, and gained
their independence and held it for nine
years, under five different presidents,
until annexed to tho United States.
The two most important actions in
the Texas revolution were the siege of
OF the Alamo and the battle of San
Jacinto. One hundred and forty
Texans taking refuge in the Alamo in
San Antosio. on old Spanish building
combining u church and a fort, were
besieged by n force of 1000 Mexicans.
The siege of Alamo began on February
%, 1886. 1t lasted II days, when it
was taken by strom and every Texan
killed. In the state house Austin, the
capital Of Texas, on a made

On February 90. Santa Ana. with his
Mexican army, had arrived at San
Antonio. On the morning of the 23rd
he called upon Colonel Travis To sur.
render, but was answered by u cannon
shot. The Mexican general at once
hoisted the red flag az q signal that no
quarter would bc given. The Alamo
had been prepared to resist any attack
except from artillery. The second in
command was no other than james
Bowie, the inventor of the long. bladed
bowie. knife used by the hunters and
desperadoes of the plains. Dayy

the Alamo.
The n assault was made on March
S~-Sunday. Travis, who was struck in
the head, had fallen beside his gun at
the northwest corner. Bowie was pre-.
cipitated from "a scaifolding by the
walls, and was unable to move from the
bod where no had been laid in an upper
room OF the convent barracks. file was
still able, however, TO die as he had
lived, firing the pistols which had been

Good Report on Jarbidge Camp

What is evidently an intelligent
an conservative estimate of the Jar
bidgc district, to the extent that AZ
estimate can be made under exist
ing conditions, is that contained in
a letter just received by Colonel
George w. f. Dorsey an associates,
from w. w. Fisk. mining engineer,
who was sent by them to size up the
situation and to be on the lookout
for any thing good that might be
obtainable. The good surface show
ing of the district have apparently
all been located, Mr.. Fisk says. He
had see nothing open that is worth
locating. He is negotiating, how
ever, for a lease on ground near the
Bourne group, with outcroppings of
the same character Of rock. No
work has been done on the prospcc-
tive lease. but there is some mineral
shOwingS and the chances for open
ing good values are favorable.
As a result of having examined
the mor noted showings Of the dis
trict, Mr.. Fisk says:
The Bourne ledge looks good.
One Of my samples shows 1000
values in panning. Several portions
of the vein shows a little free gold
and more of it shows telluride. The
pan claim has a smaller vein Of
good n The Arizona, Pavlocks'
property, pans well. The pick and
shovel has good outcroppings.
Less work has been done in the Bel
mont, but it has some good ore.
81 haven't had time to analyzc
conditions, but there is no question
of the size of the groupings nor the
values in the few veins that have
been opened.
mere are many similar crop
pings that must contain good
values.
81 do not look for much in the
way of very rich ore, but believe
there will be some large bodies of
good milling ore, and there may be
many bikes which will prove of
great value.
There doesn't seem to be much
of n vein system, but there appears
to be a vast territory of chimncys
or bIowouts. The whole district
appears to be Of volcanic origin, the
surrounding country being capped
by a great flow Of lava. The prob
ability is, therefore, that the vein
system will be quite giraffe, with
many extensive chimncys of ore
containing some very rich spots"

TWO STARS In ONE SPHERE

At lastaccounts Colonel Roosevelt
waa taking the temples and ruins
of Egypt, looking at the statue of
old Rameses and the masonry that
was built when the world was
young. He has planned his trip to
reach New York about the 18th of
June, Lexington day.
Mr.. Bryan, at last accounts, was
on the c somewhere off the island
of st. Helena on his way to England,
from whence he, too, will sail for
home.
1t will be worth while to interview
those two gentlemen when they
reach New York, says the Tele-
gram. Mr.. Bryan has been round
ing South America. Mr.. Roosevelt
reached Kartoum from the back
door of Africa; that is, he reached
it by going north instead of south.
Both countries r yet comparative
iy dark continents. Both men have
been able to compare the countries
they yer in with their own coun-
try. Both, we take it., will come
back lore thoroughly American
than when they went away.
Both ought to have some idea
about the sacredness of free govern
ment for men, free government I'M
der the law. Mr.. Bryan will be
able to tell how liberty in Latin
America has degcnerated into license
in some places. Mr.. Roosevelt will
be able to tell how tyranny, the OPP
preston Of the human mind and the
human soul, ends at last in natural
decay.
They ought to be i%ntercting inter
views now f; both are insteresting
men. The chances are that the
contentious going on in Wash
ington viii be great interest to
them. Mr.. Bryan will see in them
a chance for a Democratic victory
in 1912. If we mistake not Mr..
R~ooscvelt's nature, he will bc shout
ing that the quarrel is foolish. and
that the right thing to do is to get
together.
Both were born under suspicious
stars. Had Mr.. Bryan been defeat
ed at Chicao the chances are he
would have simplb been a quiet
editor in the old world. Had Mr..
Roosevelt made his present trip be-
fore he went to live as a cowboy in
Dakota and Montana for three or
four years. the chances are he
would have been a professor in some
university and all that would have
been especially heard fromhim would
have been that in that University all !

the ship will thus have two guns for
every sector and with overlapping
ranges. A 5-inch gun has been
placed at the stern to protect from

sion would be made at the stem but
