Outfits Seeking Values From
Bed of the Carson River

At the present time three minins
outfits are working in an endeavor
situated along the Carson river. Dur
ing the bonanza days millions of dol
lars worth OF rich Comseock ore
was treated on the river by the score
or more of mills operated by the
Sharon, Mackay and Fair people
and others. During the old ANAL
gamation process not over sew
enty-five per cent of the val
ues was recovered, the tailings an1
slime going into the Carson river,
1t is with the hope and expectation
or recovery OF this rich deposit that
the new people are working. Par
ties at the Mexican mill have erect
ed d small boat suitable for dredge

Grafton at the old mill race. A vast
amount of gold and silver amalgam
has slipped over this race and it is
DelIeved that it rests in the deep
pool formed by the action of the
water. The first recovery will be
attempted at this point.

Attorney General RuIeS on state
Funds.
WERE LIMITED TO 8 PER CENT
National Banks Could Outbid State
VIII Postpone the date Of
the AppOrtiOnment.
Of Funds.

Topeka, Sept. 9.-State banks
will be permitted to go the limit In
bidding for state funds this year
as a result Of a ruling made By At
torney General John s. Dawson and
promulgated yesterday by Charles
M. Sawyer, bank commissioners. In
order to permit the state banks to
avail themselves of this chance to
make higher bids the state treasury
board has postponed the date for
a~pportioning state funds for de-
lposit among the various banks OF
the state.
In the past national banks have
been able to bid as high a rate of
Interest as they felt they could
stand to secure deposits OF state
funds, while the state banks were
iumited under an order issued by
former Bank Commissioners J.. n.
Dolley not to exceed 3 per cent. Mr..
Sawyer asked the attorney general
flor an opinion covering the matter
and this was given out yesterday.
One of the results of the new rul-
ing of the attorney general and the
state banking department will be TO
permit state banks under the state
bank deposit guaranty law to pay a
higher rate of interest to the state
on its deposits than to private de-
positors in the same bank. To pro-
tect the state bank deposit guaranty
fund and to promote conservative
and safe banking methods, the state
banking department has been given
the power to issue order restricting
the rate of interest which banks
taking advantage of this law can
pay on ordinary deposits. The rul'
ling Of the attorney general is TO the
effect that the state banking de-
partment has no power to restrlc'
the rate of interest which state
banks may offer to pay upon state
deposits, the law requiring state
funds to be deposited in the baaks
bidding the highest rate OF interest,"

KANSAS LEGISLATURE

Topeka, Sept. 4.-That at least
six or eight women will be candi-

years campaign, and possibly twice
that many, judging from informa-

ion Of Mrs. Lee Monroe of Topeka,
a prominent club woman Of Kansas
and one OF the most ardent workers
in the last years successful crusade
for woman suffrage.
II have had letters from a num-
Der of women" said Mrs. Monroe
today, asking me for suggestions
in laying the foundation or ground
work for the campaign they expect
to make for the legislature next
year. Even though the time of the
primary and election is still quite a
way off, these women are getting
ready to make the race.
II think there will pc at least a
half dozen women elected to the
next Kansas legislature, and If we
have that number 1t will be a whole
lot, considering the few women
members in the legislatures of some
other states which have had suffrage
some time"
