Michigan Central Station Destroyed at
Detroit.
Detroit, Mich, Dec. 29.--The old
Michigan Central depot built 80 years
ago was destroyed by fire. Damage
to property and records is estimated
at 100000.
The old depot was destroyed on the
eve cf the opening of the new $780,
10000 Michigan Central depot. The
new structure was to have been for
mally opened January 4. but trains
were run into it and the change was
made with little Inconvenience. The
cause of the fire has not been deter
mined. In the building, when the fire
broke out, were 500 employees, and it
is expected that every one of them
got out of the place. There were
many rumors of people being trapped
on the third floor, where the fire start
ed, but these could not be verified.

BADGER BANKS SOLID
STABILITY SHOWN IN ANNtAl.
REPORT TO GOVERNOR.
Aggregate Capital Gain Is $f,f52, 100,
and Total Resources Increase
21,o36, Pei.

Madison.-Reporting to Gov. Me-
Govern in annual statement, Commits
sioner of Banking Albert E. Kuolt
says that the stability of the state
banking system has been augmented
during the past year, as is strongly
evidenced by the growth in total bank
resources.
The aggregate capital employed In
the 642 financial institutions under the
departments supervision is $21, 163,~
76O, gain of $1,152, 100 for the year,
and their total resources are now
S290,073, 1882, an increase of $21, $685.
291.
The report comments on the fact
that strong cash reserve has been
maintained by the banking institu-
lions at all periods.
Thirty-six new banks were organ
lied during the year. They have
total capitalization of $685. 200 and two
new trust companies of 100000. Cap
ital increases have been made by
thirty-one banks, the total increases
being $495,100. The total gain in sur
plus for the year is; $726,29145, and
undivided profit account shows an in
crease of 1851 ,2976S over the amount
returned a year ago.
Recent banking legislation is re-
viewed, and the suggestion is made
that a law be passed forbidding bank
ing corporations owning the stock in
such banks and another to make it
unlawful for one bank to loan another
by the certificate of deposit method,
which permits carrying western bank
certificates in evasion of the intent Of
the Wisconsin laws.
Much space, is given to the new land
mortgage act. Two associations una-
der this law, one at Eau Claire and
the other at Marinette, will open for
business shortly after January 1.
Assets of building and loan associa-
lions have grown from $3,S19, 1855
in 1903 to over $1O,000,000 in 1913, and
the number increased from SO to IS.
The total operating expenses of the
department in 1913 were SAL ,67782, of
which $2S,53122 was covered by col
lection fees, filing fees, etc, and $13,-
1860 was paid from the general fund
of the state.

IN SULPHUR MINING

Washington, June l6.-Texas is the
second sulphur producing State in the
Union, according % a report issued
today by the United States Geological
Survey. Texas is rapidly gaining on
Sicily, the worlds leading sulphur
unit. and it is generally conceded that

production reports OF the Geological
Survey have given Texas official rec
ognition rs sulphur producing coun.
try. The sulphur deposits OF Texas
are located near Freeport at the

mineral were produced in the United
