The Civil Service Commission
will hold an examination for As
sistant Forest Ranger on Oc-
tober 1924, 1911. The U. s.
Department of agriculture esti-
mates that 400 eligibles will be
needed during the field season
of 1912. Assistant Forest Rang
ers are paid an entrance salary
of 81 100 per annum.
The examination will be held
at National Forest headquarters
in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Florida,
Idaho,, Kansas, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Ore gon,
South Dakota, Utah, Vanishing
ton, and Wyoming. No exam
ination will be held in Michi-
gan.
The law requires that, when
practicable, Forest Rangers must
be qualified citizens of the state
or territory in which the Nation
al Forest on which they are ap-
pointed is situated. Since the
list of local eligibles must be
exhausted before eligibles resid-
Tag in other states can be ap-
pointed, the chance of citizens
of outside states who go to the
National Forest states and take
the examination to secure an ap.
pointment is small.
The requirements and duties
of forest rangers are thus de.
scribed in ''The Use Book, 81
which containes the regulations
and instructions for the use OF
the National Forests:
"a ranger Of any grade must
be thoroughly sound and able.
bodied, capable Of enduring
hardships and performing severe
labor under trying conditions,
He must be able to take care Of
himself and his horses in regions
remote from settlement and sup.
plies. He must be able to build
trails and cabins, ride. pack. and
deal tactfully with all classes Of
people. He must know some
thing of land surveying. estimat
ing and scaling timber, logging
land laws, mining, and the live
J stock business.
"On some forests the ranger
must be . specialist in one Of
more of these lines of work
Thorough familiarity with the
: region in which he seeks employ
ment, including its geography
and it's forest and industrial con
J ditions, is usually demanded
although lack Of this may bs
} supplied by experience in sim
liar regions.
The examination Of appli
cants is along the practical line
indicated above, and actual de
monstration, By performance. il
is required. Invalids seeking
light out-of-door employment
need not apply. Experience
not book education, is sought
although ability TO make simpl,
maps and write intelligent re
ports upon ordinary forest busi
ness 10 essential.
For duty in some parts o
Arizona and New Mexico tn,

prizes and other expenses. With
the cooperation of every proper
ty owner this amount can easily
be raised. 1t will cost the visit
ing teams of eleven men from
$4OO to $500 to come and COM
pete. so the prizes must be made
an inducement.
The Alamogordo Dept. will try
hard to win the prizes especially

N. [. conference HAS
COMPLETED ITS WORK
Many Kind Words for Hospitality
of Albuquerque People
REV. ED LeBRETON RE-
TURNS TO ALAMOGORDO
Dr.. AlOnzO Bright Supt. of Both
English and Spanish Missions

Albuquerque, N. NJ. Oct. q
Sunday marked the close Of the
conference Of the New Mexico
English Mission and the New
Mexico Spanish Mission confer
ence which has been held in this
city during the past week.
The first service of the day was
the joint conference love feast.
In this service occurred one IF
the happiest moments of the
week in the singing of the Span.
ish folks, the old hymn, Lean
ing on the Everlasting Arms"
The verse was sung as q solo
in the Spanish tongue, then the
Spanish men joined in the cho-
rus. Then on the second verse
the girls of the Harwo0d Indus
trial school stood and sung the
chorus. Then Spanish and En-
glish tongues blended in swelling
the music. 1t was an inspiring
and beautiful moment.
The most touching incident of
the week was the ovation ex-
tended 10 DR.. Harwood. The
bishop called for all who love DIR.
Harwood and appreciate the
great work he has done for New
Mexico to stand and join in sing
ing Blessed be the Tie That
Binds" Almost as a unit the
vast congregation arose and al
though many voices were choked
with tears, the hymn was sung
with . great zest.
The closing service Of the
week was the anniversary Of the
Home Mission and Church Ex-
tension society.
DR.. s. Alonzo Bright, superln-
tendent of both the English and
Spanish missions in New Mexico
preached the sermon, which was
q forceful setting forth of the
Christ's great command: go
ye into ell the world"
In conclusion, DR.. Bright in a
wonderfully sympathetic and
touching manner presented some
Of the work and needs of this
great field Of New Mexico.
This session brought to . close
one Of the most successful ses-
sions Of the conference.
As the men dispersed many
expressions Of appreciation for
the hospitality Of the Albuquer-
que homes, and the universal
kindness Of the people were
heard.

MONTGOMER Y -SHOSHONE,
PASSES TO HISTORY
Famous Mining Property Shuts up
Shop Indefinitely

TO all appearances Montgomery
Shoshone is dead.
The big hosting engines are life
less and the rumbling Of the mill has
ceased.
Presumably it is all over, and with
the passing Of Shoshone from the list
OF live ones it rung down the curtain
OF one OF the most interesting chap
rers in Nevadas mining history
Its career has been short but check
cred; full of sensations and disap-
pointments.
1t has startled the world with its
richness, commanded the respect and
homage of the greatest hnanciers,
and dumbfounded its admirers by its
erratic behavior.
1t has proven a successful failure ::
a mine OF great resources: promoted
on the get-rich- quick fashion; touted
as the one best buy heralded as
Nevada infant wonder:'' and nurs-
ed ultimately from mouth TO mouth
until it has expired from mere ex-
haustion.
Credited with almost one and one
half million dollars i'll net bullion re
turns, Shoshone to-day faces an in
debtedness of more than 100000
The balance sheet does not read
well, but doubtless a different story
would have been written had Sho
shone been given fair chance
With a gross production of more
than $2.000,00O, some OF which output
showed high shipping values. Sho-
shone doubtless would have been a
dividend payer had not the frenzied
finance methods been employed in its

The program to be offered this ev
ening by the Old Song Minstrels has
been completed. The last rehearsal
has been finished, the songs have
been sung, Prof Smith has stretched
his fiddle bow a trif1e tighter and the
stage manager has worked overtime
to have everything just IN right ac-
cord with the evening. The hand
some Carson ladies who are to take
part have prepared costumes for the
event and the dancers are in the best
Of trim. There is every reason to be
lieve that the show from the opening
to the close will be a success and a
couple OF hours pleasure to those
who attend.

STATE BANK COMMISSION
is HOLDING SESSION
Taking Steps to Take over Defunct
Banking Institutions

The State Banking Bard is i'll iul
session to-day. 1t was the intention
10 hold q meeting last evening, but
owing to the absence Of Mr. Brown
ing, when the following members
were in session:
Governor Oddie, as Chairman; Eu
gene Howell. as Bank Examiner and
Secretary oi the Board; It. Brown oi
Tonopah. w. Il. Graham OF Ely. j.
A. Mcbride OF Elko, and DIR. IT, L.
Reid oi Reno. as members OF the
Board.
The fact that Austin Jackson has
resigned TO take the position as Pri-
vate Secretary TO the Governor
leaves an appointment for the place
in Mr.. Howell's hands. 1t is under
stood that he will announce the ap-
pointment within few days.
The Commission got down 10
grinding early in the day The fact
that the amendment to the Banking
Law places the deiunct banks in the
hands OF the EXAMINER. was made
the subject matter ol the meeting
MIR. Brown. who in his official capac-
ity as member OF the Board and al
so an attorney, carefully reviewed the
new law with the members Under
the instructions by the Beard Mr..
Howell will be authorized to make
application for possession Qi the de
funct banks now in the hands of the
receivers. This includes all bank
that are in such condition This Is
being done with full understanding
OF the new condition of the law. II

Burdened with debt ci almo {
hall million dollars advanced by tbs

and for other improvements, She
shone's profits have gone a glnmer
ing in liquidation and interest
Crippled by decreasing average val
uses year alter year, whereby the nct
earnings have snrunk, until, with all
visible ore extracted and milled, no
thing remains in sight for further
profits, the project has reached the
inevitable end.
True, Shoshone gave out much
sooner than the early day enthusiasts
phrophesed.
The statement that five millions
would be produced has not been real
lied, although when this assertion
sources.
There seems to be no doubling the
made good i'll every sense of the word
had a small mill been built with funds
from the sale OF treasury stock
There would have been no indebt-
edness, no interest, no immense in
Eestment for improvements.
1t is believed thar Shoshone pro
ducing 2OOO tons a month would have
been a steady profit maker. and that
before the end OF its career it would
have been pronounced a real success.
The history OF Shoshone has been
a case of trying to make a world
beatcr out of what would be consid-
cred ordinarily a mighty good little
mine. .'-Rhyol'te Herald.

movement by the State Examiner, i
/ matter is to be carried to the courts
by Examiner Howell
In the case of the State Bank &
Trust Company, which will probably
be the first considered, action can be
taken on April 18th. the day set by
Judge Langan for renewal of the
hearing OF the suits now pending
against the directors by Receiver
.Wildes. On this day Mr. Howell
will i'll all probability appear for the
State and formally demand the books
and possession of the institution. If
the matter is to be subject TO contest
it will probably start from that time.
The new amendment to the Bank
the only power that is worth while.
Before the amendment was added
the Examiner was III difficult posi-
ton as has been shown in former ac-
tons where the power was curtailed
to minimum point. Under the new
provisions the Examiner has suiii-
cicnt power to assume immediate
possession of shaky banks and act as
receiver without the courts approval
1t should act as great saving OF cN
pcnse i'll any future bank troubles
and will in all probability assist in
Strengthening out other tangles that
are now before the courts Of the state
1t is the most important meeting held
by the Bank Commission since the
