FARMERS MILL STARTS MONDAY
Slight Settling Of Lsrge Tanks Will Cause
Only Temporary Suspension

The keen interest displayed by all
Earekans in the new mill of the Farm
ers Mining Company has led to various
surmises as to the result of the recent
shut down Of the mill. The SENTINEL
is able to give the exact facts TO its
readers.
The huge steel tanks, 10 which the
last stage Of the process is carried on.
have to sustain the enormous weight of
300 tom to each tank. This weight is
carried on four columns so that each
column has to sustain a weight of rs
tons.
The excavations for the concrete
foundations were carried three feet
into the bed rock, which at this point
was a lime shale. With the Winter
~frosts. the recent rains and the enor
nous weight, this shale was disinte-
grated to a granular clay which gave
way under the weight, causing the
outer pillars to settle two inches.
AS soon az the settling took place,
wire cables were placed around the
tanks and a powerful steam winch i'm
mediately pulled them back to position.
Excavating under the foundations was
Immediately started, team were rushed
in from Palisade with cement, and the
foundations are now being extended to
seven feet below the bottoms Of the old
foundations, a different and harder
formation being encountered at this
point. Manager George Kaeding in
forms the SENTINEL that he will have
the mill in operation again Monday
six days. In the interim the mill
wrights have been building an assay
office and laboratory and other import
ant work has been done.
The large Steele Harvey crucible
melting furnace for the melting Of the
bullion is now at Palisade and will soon
DO installed at the mine. This is the
largest furnace Of this type ever in-
stalled in Nevada, the next largest be-
ing the one at the Goldfield Consolidated
mill at Goldfeld. IL is sufficiently
large to allow of the clean up being
made and finished during daylight
hours.
The new assay Office is nearly COM
pleted and q large and complete assay
equipment is waiting in the c~ompany's
s~torehouse to be unpacked.
Pending the resumption Of Killing
operations of milling operations, all
work in the mine has been suspended, as
all the slopes. chutes and ore bus are
full Of ore aud development work is MOI
necessary as the company has a large
tonnage of ore already blocked out.

The North Pole Dance

The North Pole Dance given by Dia-
mond Rebekah Lodge No. 8. I. o. o. F.,
in the Eureka Opera House on Friday
evening drew q large number Of the
people Of Eureka and vicinity, who we're
not disappointed in the novel occasion
a ball as near to the polar regions in all
OF its appointments as could be arranged.
The hall was decorated in white, with
%festooning and ~draperies and banners of
the Order. The aurora borealis was Wis.,
IDLE in its brilliant coloring above the
orchestra, and the North Pole and polar
bears we're reminders Of the friaid zone,
all showing cleverness, originality and
progressiveness on the part of the Order.
Most Of the ladies wore white, and
many white neckties were worn by the
gentlemen, all tending to add to the
beauty and attractiveness of the OF
casion.
The Brossemer orchestra played selec-
tions of dance music taken from the
snow-bound regions, "Off to the Pole''
beginning the order of dances, and
Nearing the Pole" concluding them.
About IL O'Clock the lights we're turned
low, the moon rose above the stage. and
the imam in the moon" looked down on
the merry dancers.
Ice cream and pineapple sherbet were
served at the Pole by Cook and Peary,
and the evening being unusually warm,
was especially refreshing.
The event concluded most happily for
all participating. the Rebekahs realized
q neat sum, and their guests acclaimed
them most excellent entertainers.

Gently before the Nevada Supreme
Court by an attorney for certain of the
old officers of the Eureka County Bank.
to the effect that q conspiracy. etc.. ex.
listed among certain county officials to
get the Smiths to Eureka for trial, the
Judge replied:
That the statement was too frivolous.
too silly for consideration. and that
1.-The complaints now being considered
by the Supreme Court were made and
are now pending in the Justice Court Of
Eureka township, and not before my
court. In any event. the public know
that IA or 10 months ago, l announced
my disqualification to preside at the
trials Of any indictments which might
be found against the officers of the
bank. When the bank closed its doors
some 16 months ago. l determined to
protect the unfortunate depositors,
many Of them poor men. women and
children. who had been my friends for
80 years. To do so. I was compelled to
make a close investigation into the at
fairs and management of the bank.

me. I am not in position to notice the
same, for the present at least. The
Grand Jury Of Eureka County, which

II paid out to depositors so cents on
the dollar within seven months OF the
closing Of the bank, and beyond doubt
used every iota of power the law gave
me to make some people disgorge; to
make others stop fighting me with in
junction suits. restraining orders and
other implements of delay and worry.
in which may be included q writ Of
habeas corpus or two.
II have demonstrated that the wind

greater delay nor be more expensive
than the administration of the affairs

contrary, Notwithstanding, and on this

issued and were not included in the
papers taken for service by the members
of the State Police or Captain Donnelly.
He did not state who all the indictments
were for as that was a matter of record
in Eureka County. The warrants, he
said, came in from Judge Breen. and
he. as Attorney General, had to follow
the law as in the statute. The portion
relating to using the State Police for
process serving, was quoted.
Whether the Eureka County Grand
Jury has returned indictments against
the former Banking Board is as yet I'M
certain. There are yet a number OF in
dictments the nature of which has not
been disclosed, and it is the belief of
many that these are for the members Of
the former board.
Why the State Police have been com.
missioned to serve the bench warrants
in this matter is uncertain, and no one
seems able to offer a satisfactory expla-
nation. Neither is there any reason
given why the action against the bank
ers has been taken at this time before
the Supreme Court has passed on a num-
Der of questions of law that are before
that body on the o. ]. Smith habeas
corpus case now pending.

tain Donnelly and Judge James Glynn.

We're Prepared For Arrests
In its account of the recent arrests
made in Reno by the State Police, the
Gazette of that city says:
o. J. Smith, w. E. Griffin, II. 4.
Golding and G. H. German. the four
men arrested by the State Police in
Reno this morning in connection with
the Eureka County Bank affair in which
indictments were returned by the Eu-
reka County Grand Jury, must have
been all il readiness for the arrests, as
shortly after their arrests this morning
they petitioned the Supreme Court for
writs of habeas corpus. The writs were
issued and during the noo hour Sheriff
Ferrel received q telegram from the
clerk Of the Supreme Court in Carson,
giving the writ of habeas corpus in de-
tail and citing Sheriff Ferret. Captain
J. p. Donnelly Of the the Nevada State
Police or any other sheriff in the State
to bring Smith, Griffin, Golding and
German into the Supreme COURT this
afternoon to show cause why they
should not be liberated.
No indictments Against Banking Board
The SENTINEL is reliably informed
that notwithstanding the many reports
to the effect that the recent Grand Jury
had also found indictments against
members of the former State Banking
Board, no such indictments are in exist
enoe.
