BANK EXAMINER
HOWELL GIVES HIS
VERSION OF LAW

CARSON CITY, New, April G.
All lines of procedure in con-
formity to the new banking law
we're mapped out in a satisfactory
manner. Eugene Howell, the new
bank examiner, says, in relation to
taking charge of the already de-
funct banks, such as the State
Bank and Trust company and the
Nye & Ormsby County banks that
he served a written demand upon
the receivers as instructed by the
law; but the parties in charge of
those banks refused to comply with
the demand. Mr.. Howell says that
the proper proceedings will be in
stituted at once, and the matter
determined as to the legality of the
new banking law, and that a deci-
sion should be rendered within the
eext three or four weeks.
Mr.. Howell furthermore says
there is nothing in the law or any
provision to the effect that will not
allow the bank examiner to act as
receiver of these already defunct
banks
This idea, said Mr. Howell, has
been advanced by the attorneys for
the different receivers; but this
construction of the law is entirely
in error The law plainly says
"the bank examiner shall take pos
session of all banks and their prop
erty and accounts of whatsoever
nature which may now be in the
cu,tody or possession or control OF
any receiver heretofore appointed
under the laws of this state, and
said bank examiner shall there
upon proceed to administer liquid
ate, and SETTLE the same"
Mr. Howell said the law in this
particular is very specific and thai
he intends to follow the plain sta
tute just as he finds it, and further
there is no question as to its con
stitutionality, which will be deter
mined within brief space Of time

M'DONALD WILL CAMP
IN NATIONAL FOR A WHILE

One of the most highly respect
ed mine managers of the west is
James Mcdonald, superintendent of
the Round Mountain Mining COM
pany Jim is favorite with mine
operators on account of his great
mining ability and from the fact
that in addition to his practical
work he has sort of capacity that
is known as smelling ore it it is
within reasonable distance under
ground. Such combination is
what has made him such a great
success and makes his services in
demand by mine operators.
On the other hand, he is an ex-
cclient good fellow and has the uni
form good will of the men who do
the digging under his direction
These hard-rock miners think there
is no noe like Mcdonald to work
under and as always in such cases
the better work is returned for the
pay.
When Mac was queried on "What
are you here for?" he answer with
knowing smile and just intimated
you just guess. 1t has merited
significance, for Mcdonald repre-.
sent the remaining Goldfield mil.
lionaires and he simply said, Il an

FIGHTING MONSTER OF
THE DEEP PURSUES SHIP

Houston, TeXas.--An unknown
monster of the deep, forty feet in
length, copper colored and with a head
over Is feet in width. for four days
and nights played tag with the fish
ing schooner Mendocine and when
the schooner failed to respond, vainly
tried to push it out of the sea.
The fish appeared the second day
out, coming to the surface about a
half mile astern OF the Mendocino and
all of the day 1t could be seen leis-
urely training the vessel, rolling over
and disporting itself as it kept pace
with the ship.
For three days the fish kept as
tern of the vessel when II decided to
perfect a closer acquaintance. Put
ting on speed 1t same abreast of the
ship and started some antics which
caused no little concern aboard the
ship. Running along side 1t would
scrape itself against the side of the
vessel, scoot ahead and then roll and
lay on its back until the vessel caught
up. Then 1t would dive under the
vessel or swim around il as IL in play.
Evidently the fish became disgust
ed over the failure of the vessel to
play and planned a fight. The watch
