NYE 8 ORMSBY
BANK HOPELESS

Thos. G. Lockhaft, vice presi-
dent of tue Florence. arrived from
Los Angeles this morning on one
of his usual trips of inspection of
the mine. He will remain here
several days.
Speaking of his application to
Judge Langan at Carson City to be
relieved Of his duties as receiver
Of the Nye & Ormsbv County bank,
Mr.. Lockhart said:
Il do not see that l can do any
more good for the interests of the
bank and its depositors. 1t looks
like hopeless case to try to get
anything out of the alleged assets
of the institution. Most of the out
standing claims are practically
worthless. representing large
amounts of money loaned upon no
better security than an i. o. u
with nothing back of it.
The assets of the bank had been
picked over half a dozen times
before | took hold of it. yet | was
hopeful that could d. something
for the. depositors by cutting down
the expenses and realizing on what
assets there was a possibility of
getting something out of them. l
have served as receiver practically
without compensation.
- The further | have gone into
the affairs of the bank, the more
l learned of the recklessness with
which money was loaned out to
almost anyone who had the nerve
tn go to the cashiers window and
ask for almost any sum he wanted.
IF the court is uillIng TO let
me retire as receiver, am ready
to file my settlement and final ac-
count and let someone else take
charge of the remains. -Go,dfield.

PROPHETS FALSE
AND OTHERWISE

Not long ago one locomotive in
the Pennsylvania railroad hauled
100 steel cars full of coal.
II was the heaviest load ever
hauled by locom tive.
The train was a mile and a
quarter long, and each car con-
tanned fifty ton of coal-10O, 900.
pounds.
That is to say the locomotive
pulled load Of 100000 pounds.
And this mind you is not counting
the weight of the heavy steel cars.
The full weight of the cars is
estimated at 100000 pounds.
So that this machine, invented
and perfected by human minds
dragged 1900. 600 pounds behind
it.
Now
Had such feat been predicted
in the time of Pericles the wise
would have said not even can one
Of the gods on Olympus do that.
In the day of Columbus such a
prophecy would have been a joke.
Even hundred years ago?
Why, when the first locomotive
ran on it's rails scientists said it
might be sort Of toy, hut WAS
impractical.
They said no human could travel
at the terrific rate of twenty-five
miles an hour without disintegrat-
ing and flying into bits.
Again they said II trains we're
ran at that speed it would be
necessary to build strong stone
walls on both sides Of the track
else people who stood by the
passing trains would be killed by
the rush of air.
Others said It may be possible to
transport light stuff by steam
power in this way, but heavy stuff
would need to be carried on the
canals or by horse teams.
They said it.
IL some Of those scientific wise
acres could have seen that mile
and a quarter of coal cars or ride
on that sixty miles an hour train
that goes from Chicago to New
York in eighteen hours!
They were false prophets.
Therefore let US not be too wise
in our day and generation.

AEROPLANE RECORDS
OF THE PAST YEAR

A year ago the highest altitude
attained was about 5000 feet, the
greatest speed sixty-seven miles an
hour, the longest continuous flight
246 miles in five hours, the longest
over water fight forty-five miles,
and three was the largest number
of passengers carried. Since then
an altitude of ll.476 feet has been
reached, a continuous flight of 38s
miles and an overwater fight of
40 miles have been achieved. and
as many as thirteen persons have
been carried in an aeroplane.
Within the past year the most
hazardous trips have been success
fully accomplished. Snow-capped
mountains. yawning ravines and
lakes and seas and canyoned cities
have intrepid air-men. The icy
Businesses of the Alps irpeded
the progress of such indomitable
conquerors as Hannibal and
Napoleon. But the daring and
lamented Chavez raising TOO feet
high and battling with wind and
storm scared over them in a flight
that will always remain an epic in
the chronicles of aviation. The
Harz and the Pyrenecs have be-
come mere "bunkers" in the sport
over which the aeroplanes raced
triumphantly just a few weeks
ago. Niagara Falls. the Irish sea,
the Gulf of Mexico, Long Island
sound and, the Gulf of Genoa have
all been flown over, and airmen
have toyed with the surface of the
Atlantic and the placid waters of
the Pacific. AS for the English
channel, that imnenorial barrier
between England and France-it
has been reduced practically to CT
areial ferry. How the world
applauded two years ago when
Bleriot taking the wings of the
morning. cleared the distance
between Calais and Dover and
dropped down upon the surprised
Britishers. Yet in the past
twelve months the channel has
been crossed and crossed, not
simply from coast to coast but
from capital to capital as Pierre

Paris, $50 miles. in a little over
