SWIMMING At
CHAUTAUQUA.

A good crowd of people at the
Chautauqua beach had the pleasure of
witnessing a swimming race Sunday
afternoon following the ball game.
Mark Scott, Robert Fosburg, Bruce
and Petrie took part in the race. They
were taken out in the lake in boat
and raced to shore. Scott came in
first with Fosburg a few feet behind
Bruce came in third while Petrie
spent his time having q nice little
swim all by himself about fifteen feet
from where the race started. The
prize was season ticket to the Chau-
tauqua and Scott thought that it was
two weeks enjoyment easily earned.
After the race Capt. Furstenau
pulled off few stunts in the water.
He made high dive with his clothes
on and undressed in the water, TAX
ing off his shoes, trousers, shirt and
cap. Then he entertained the crowd
with some fancy swimming and
diving. : AzH!
Mr.. Furstenau is an expert swim
mer, and was for number of years
a swimming instructor in the German
navy. He will give lessons to all
who wish to take them during the
season at the Lake. Swimming is an
ideal summer sport and not many
North Dakota people have the oppor-
tunity of surf bathing as have the
people of Devils Lake.

WALSH CAPTURES
THE NOMINATION
CARRIES TWO COUNTIES BY
EIGHT VOTES OVER
SOMERS

The county commissioners this
morning and afternoon canvassed the
returns of the various precincts of
Esmeralda county in the primary
election last Tuesday. Although
errors were found in practically all
of the unofficial figures announced
Immediately following the election,
the canvas did not change the gen.
eral results. 1t. however, showed
that Joseph B. Kendall obtained the
republican nomination for long-term
county commissioner by one vote
over Harry r. Grier. The unofficial
returns showed that Kendall and
Grier tied for the nomination with
144 votes each.
The official v of the Esmer-
aida county returns and complete
returns from Mineral county show
that j. Emmett Walsh captured the
democratic nomination for Judge of
the seventh judicial district, embrac-
ing the two counties. by a majority
of eight votes yer Judge letter J.
Somers. Their total vote In the two
counties was: Somers, 629;
Walsh, 637.

LESSEES ON BLUE
JAY ARE SHIPPING
RAISING ROCK TO SURFACE BY
USING AUTOMOBILE AS
WHIP

Summers and Ebert, lessees of
the Blue Jay, are shipping ore, says
the %Yerington Times. Buffers teams
can be seen every day passing
through Yerington with a ten-ton
load of high grade copper ore. These
leasers have a unique hoist In Oper-
alton. 1t is operated by an automo-
bile on the same principal as a whip.
Sam Ebert is the engineer. The
tunnel being run is advancing rapid
" and things are being put in shape
to produce a regular tonnage. AT
the present time the ore has to be
hauled a distance of five miles. If
the road from the east end OF
Bridge street was opened up and
repaired this distance would be less
ened by three miles. This road mat
ter should be taken up with the COM
m~issioners.
Archer, Ehrman and Kremmel,
who have an option on the Montana
Yerington property, are working on
the 400 level, drifting on the ore,
with a full face of shipping ore ahead
of them. Several carloads have
been shipped in the past few weeks.
If the price of copper was just a lit
tie higher regular shipments would
be made, as the boys have a very
fine showing in every part of the
mine. With copper at the present
low figure it makes them select the
best grade for shipment.
Ed Ross and DR.. Knox. who have
a lease on the tailings at the old
Wheeler mine at Pine Grove, now
have a concentrating plant in full
swing at the old Pioneer mill site,
A good extraction is being obtained
and everything is running smoothly
They expect to have a carload OF
concentrates ready for shipment
early in October. The values run
pretty high.

CONTACT MINES
READY TO YIELD
TEACHING SYSTEM WILL BE
USED IN TREATING
ORES

Ability of the Contact district to
piled with ore is not questioned by
those familiar with the district, and
is admitted by others after but a
short examination of the various
properties of the camp, providing OF
course development work is carried
on simultaneously with the oper-
alton of the plant, says the Contact
Miner.
Copper is usually thought of as a
deep-seated metal, which it was gen.
orally considered to be until the low
grade p%orphyries came into promi-
nence, and it is difficult for many
to conceive of a lode system In which
commercial ores extend from the
grass roots to great depth. How
ever, this condition exists in the
Contact district. making 1t possible
for hundreds of owners and leasers
to begin taking out ore ON the 1000
legally held claims of the camp just
as soon as a plant is provided for
HdlulluS liz olCSs III thlS way Jill
the proceeds of the sale of the sur
face ores money will be derived for
deeper development in advance OF
the requirements of a considerable
plant. In fact the camp is so
uniquely favored in this respect that
several properties and even individu-
al claims are capable of producing
this result.
Specific properties and claims that
may be expected to respond to this
unusual condition are Copper Shield,
New York and Mammoth claims,
Lucy and Blue Rock, the Delano
group, Antelope, Blue Bird, lilo, Rat
tier and O'Connel ground and many
other properties to a less degree,
while nearly all claims of the dis
trict show teaching ore, however
slightly they may be developed, and
future work will show a great deal
more.
And if, as has been presumably es-
tablished by the experiments of the
Nevada-Douglas, sulphide ores can
be leached direct and ~by-products OF
red paint and sulphuric acid be saw
ed, then other local copper proper
ties, such as the Brooklyn. will fur
nish large quantities of teaching
ores. Even though the teaching OF
sulphide ores may not prove an un-
mixed success, our oXidized zone will
supply ores for years. by which time
a process will have been perfected
or the known method of smelling be
employed. When this time arrives
we will have reached the permanent
sulphide and secondary zones and
will have sufficient ore blocked out,
thanks to our enormous amount of
surface ores, that we will need no
longer to scour the market for capt.
tai, but capital will willingly, nay,
eagerly, come to us for investment.

SHORT COURSE TO
AID P~R0SPECT0RS
MACKAY MINING SCHOOL TO
GIVE INSTRUCTIONS In MIN
ERALS AND GEOLOGY

Through the efforts of Prof. Fran
els Church Lincoln, the new head of
the Mackay school of mines at the
University of Nevada, a short course
for prospectors and miners will be
provided at that institution during
the coming winter, the course to last
from so to so days. says the Reno
Journal. 1t will probably start in
February, which is the worst month
of the year for p%rospectors out in
the hills or on the desert, and would
give them opportunity to pursue
their researches in comfortable sur
roundings and at no expense except
their culinary living expenses in
Reno.
There will be no charge at the uni
versity. the instruction, supplies,
ETC.. being absolutely free. In a
broad way. the proposition is in
tended to be a great source of help
to the prospector when he returns
to the field, having given him a scien-
tifc insight into economic geology,
classification of rocks INT minerals
and ~assaying, all of which will prove
to be of great benefit to him in his
work of searching for new mineral
fields and deposits.
Prof. J. Claude Jones, in charge of
the department of geology and min
eralogy. and curator of the Mackay
museum, will give the p]rospectors
and miners a course in economic ge-
ology and cover forty minerals, and
Prof. Walter s. Palmer will conduct
the hrs in metallurgy and assay
ing.
One of the helpful features of the
information that may be gained dur
ing this curse at the university will
be the association with and study of
the collection of rocks and minerals
in the Mackay museum, which will
give the prospectOr many new points
OF the typical ore bearing rocks of
Nevada, assistance in the develop
ment of the resources of which state
is the prime object of the course
which has been arranged through
INC vi b'uColU-
1t is realized that the first en-
deavor along this line may not at
tract as many prOspectors as may
be desired. but those who take ad-
vantage of the course this winter
will. before the next season in the
field is over, realize with increasing
appreciation the benefit the tuition
has been to them. and hey will nat
urally spread the propaganda among
their fellow prospectors, and thus
aid in largely increasing future at
tendance.
Professor Lincoln desires to again
emphasize the fact that it is the
purpose of the mining department
of the university to be of the utmost
assistance to the prospectors of the
state. and that any who may desire
samples assayed or tested for rare
minerals are invited to send them to
the university for that purpose, and
the tests will be made free of charge
and results forwarded without un-
necessary delay.
By extending this assistance to the
prospectors in the field, Prof. Lin
coin is confident of aiding in the dis
covery or knowledge of many new
deposits of ore or rare metals with
which the state abOunds, and thus
make the mining department of the
university what it should be-a con-
slant and growing assistant in the
development of the mineral re-
, sources of Nevada.

The value to the business public of
good banks can hardly be over esti-
mated
The financial life blood of the
community flows through these ar
teries in the form of loans and dis
counts, exchanges, collections and
other transactions.
To the bank the man of big af-
fairs can come for consultation
about transactions involving large
amounts, while the man of small af-
fairs with little knowledge of bank
ing can turn to it for sound advice.
The banks help to keep the local
wheels of trade and industry NOV
ing, tide honorable men over bust
ness depressions, keep local money
at home and in a score of ways help
the community. The distribution Of
interest on time or savings deposits,
amounting to a large sum in the ag-
gregate, is a strong incentive to
thrift. AS a teacher of good bust
ness system. also, a well-equipped
bank is an excellent school for it's de-
pOsitOrs.
thoroughly examined by representa-
tives of the state or national bank
ing authorities, as the case may be,
and also by representatives of their
boards of directors.
The examiners count all the cash

check off all the bonds and other in
vestment securities owned by the
bank. as well as the collateral On
which it has loaned money. They
examine all the notes discounted,
verify all balances due to and from
other banks by obtaining from them
a formal certifying as to balances.
Sometimes depositors upon being
shown a banks safe deposit vault
ask: els this the vault where my
savings deposits are kept?" Some
seem tt think that each depositOr's
money is kept in a separate box till
he calls for it.
Money kept that way, while it
would be safe, would be doing Meth
err its owner, the bank. nor the COM
munity any good. 1t would be
boarded merely and he entirely non
productive. AS a matter Of fact, a
certain proportion of depOsitors'
funds must be kept in reserve, but
some of this reserve may be depos-
tied at interest in other banks. But
the larger part of deposit money is
invested by the bank. under strict
legal safeguards in various conserva-
tive ways. usually in demand" and
short term investments that render
the assets of the bank quick to real
ize upon when necessary.
A bank must use the greatest dis
elimination in making loans. A
stranger cannot expect accommoda-
tons. 1t is customary for the bor-
! rover to make a periodical settlement
of his financial affairs, which is kept
in the banks records.
Naturally in their dealings with
regular depositors, the banks Off
GERS become we'll acquainted with
their character and their resources.
and are thus in a position to deter
mine to how large a line of credit
each one is entitled. The ability to
borrow money from the bank is one
of the great advantages of being a
steady bank depository. D. Mac
