BANKS
WAITING WORD
STATE BOARD TO FAOLI-
TATE ENTRY

Steps to pave the way for a more
convenient and safe method where
by state banks of Nevada may enter
the federal reserve banking system
were taken by the Reno Clearing
House association at its recent meet
ing and it is expected with a little
help from the state banking board
state banks will more generally enter
the new system, says the Reno Jour.
nal.
The clearing house association OF
Reno adopted a resolution suggest.
ing to the state banking board that
it take such action as in its judg-
ment may be deemed desirable and
considered practical, for the pur-
pose of securing to the banks under
it's supervision the right of entering
the federal reserve banking system,
an option which some of the sections
of the Nevada state banking act seem
to deny"
The difficulty found in this con-
nection has been met in several 9TH
err states. but so far as known no
court has ever held the apparent ex-
listing statutory bars to be real. 1t
is the belief that the transfer of
capital and the endorsing and re-
discounting Of paper incident to
membership in the federal system is
made an exception to statutory en-
actments by the operation of the
federal law justifying it. However,
the state banks would feel more con
fident if the state banking board
should make some declaration to this
effect.
The Reno Clearing House associa-
ton resolved also at it's meeting in
favor of the selection of San Fran
cisco as one of the reserve cities for
the establishment Of a federal re-
serve bank and petitioned to be in
cluded in such a district. The Ne
vada Bankers association, through
it's executive council, has taken
similar action.
Majority members of the commit
tee on organization under the fed
eral reserve act, including Secretary
McAdoo and Secretary Houston, will
meet in San Francisco to consider
it's claims tomorrow and the Reno
clearing house has designated
George w. Mapes, president of the
Washoe County bank, to attend the
meeting as representative.

J.E. SEXTON ANNOUNCES
RAILROAD TO BULLION

j. E. Sexton, manager of the Eure-
ka & Palisade railroad, was in town
Tuesday and authorized the publica-
ton of the news that his company has
decided to build a new railroad into
the mining camp of Bullion, and that
he has corps of surpeveys now in
the field, who are making the final
weather will permit work will be
rushed on the branch line and by
June l trains will be running out of
Bullion drawing long trains of ore
cars, says the Elko Free Press. The
rails and ties have been ordered and
the building of the road is an abso-
lutte certainty.
The new road will leave the main
line of the Eureka & Palisade at
Raine's siding, and on account of the
steep grades the road will be about
fourteen miles long. The grade will
average about 2 per cent and the
heaviest will be about 4 per cent. AS
the grade will be almost entirely
away from the mines, this will be in
favor of the heavy loads, as they can
be run to the main track almost by
gravity. The mines are about three
miles from the summit of the noun
tains but the grade on this side will
not be I'VE 1 per cent.
There are thousands and thousands
of tons o. low grade ore in this dis
trict that can be shipped when the
railroad is completed, ore that will
go from$1O to SIS, and which can be
mined, shipped and milled at a fair
profit. 1t is estimated that there
are 10000 tor of this elias of ore an
the dumps that has been thrown
aside. There are lodges of low grade
ore on which work has been discOn-
tinued, which the new road will
make profitable.
Bullion has come back, and is one
of the very few old mining camps
that has been able to be made to be-
come a producer again. Engineers
say that it is possible that the new
record will far outshadow the ship
ments made from this famous camp,
when millions and millions were
sent out in the shape of the white
metal.

LUCKY BOY GETS
GOOD ORE VEIN

c. w. Riddell, a mining engineer
of Portland, Ore, returned last even
ing on the Osceola stage from a ten
day visit to the property of the
Lucky Boy Mining company easterly
from Osceola anc south of Black
horse. Mr.. Riddell was very well
pleased with his inspection of the
property and its vicinity though the
snow interferred somewhat with out
side geological examinations. Today
Mr.. Riddell is visiting the pits of the
Nevada Consolidated to witness the
steam shovel operations, this being
his first opportunity to inspect them.
That recent development work &C
complished on the Lucky Boy prop
erty has resulted in opening up a
strange and well mineralized ledge in
the tunnel is the statement made by
Mr.. Riddell that will be received with
general qualification here. For some
months the operations of the COM
pany have been directed to driving
the main tunnel in order to tap the
ledge under a point where surface
work has disclosed a good ore-shoot.
The ledge was found at about 235
feet from the portal of the tunnel
and proven to be eleven feet wide.
On on wall is a streak of quartz from
two to eight inches wide and which
Ia high grade free gold ore. Good
galena ore is also found in the ledge
and the whole eleven feet is high
ly m~ineralized, showing considerable
manganese. The presence of magma
nese is regarded as encouraging the
belief that with greatr depth on the
ledge the gold values will be found
to increase.
That the opening Of this ledge has
added largely to the value OF the
company's holdings there can be no
doubt, according to the description
of the ledge as given by Mr.. Liddell.
The Lucgy Boy company was or
ganized by Mason v. Clays who has
operated in and around the Black
horse district since soon after the
first discovery was made there by
Tommy Watkins. The property own
ed by the company was under lease
to the French-American Mining COM
pany several years ago.-Expositor.

The Tribune last evening received
from M. F. Hudson, secretary to Sem
ator Newlands, the following tele-
gram from Washington, D. c., con-
corning federal plums for Nevada

Postmaster at Goldfield, Benjamin
Rosenthal.
Postmaster at Sparks, John p.
Reynolds.
The senators state that the ap-
pOintment of White as postmaster
and O'Sullivan as surveyor general is
agreeable to both appointees, and
Mr.. Rosenthal vas considered to have
the best right to the appointment
as postmaster at Goldfeld by reason
of his selection by the democracy of
Esmeralda county al chairman of the
county central committee during the
last campaign, and his active work
on behalf of the party in the state
for a number of years.
They also feel that Mr.. Vardaman
is particularly we'll fitted for receiver
of the land office, and is desired in
that position by the senators and by
the general land office, and they also
state that Mr.. Reynolds appointment
as postmaster at Sparks has long

INITIAL SHIPMENT
SOON TO Be MADE
NEWSPAPER MAN TELLS OF CON-
DITIONS IN CARRARA
DISTRICT

A. B. Perkins, editor of the
Carrara Obelisk, published in the
marble camp of Carrara, eight miles
south of Beatty, was an overnight
guest at the Goldfield. He arrived
in camp yesterday and returned home
today. Discussing conditions at Car
rara, he said:
THE first shipment of commercial
marble from Carrara will be made in
the near future. The blocks of stone
have been delivered at Carrara sta
ton on the line of the Las Vegas and
Tonopah railroad and are awaiting
the arrival of fiat cars for shipment
to the coast. The shipment, in all,
will weigh about thirty tons. 1t
includes about twenty tons of Pava-
noZzo marble, cut in three blocks,
two of which are six by five by five
feet in dimensions and are classed
as second or third grade. The third
block is smaller but of first grade.
The remainder of the shipment is
made up of one block of Pompeiian
Unique, black and white marble, and
two blocks of American FOrmOsa,
brown and white stone.
1.-The third floor of the quarries has
been pulled and shows great improve
ment. Channelling upon the fourth
floor seems to be in sound and seam
less marble. New machinery, pur-
chased of the Bragg Machinery COM
pany of Goldfield, has lately been
installed and through it's use produc-
ton costs have been lowered nearly
80 per cent. The erection of a der
rick at the railroad station is under
way and upon the arrival of huge
timbers will be completed.
Metal mining operations continue
to yield good results in the district.
The lessees on the Carrara Mining
and Milling company property have
struck another body of high grade
ore on a contact of of calcite and
lime. and have a large tonnage OF
milling ore, ranging from $40 to $40
I ton, exposed. Practically the whole
ledge could be put through the stamp
mill which is nearing completion. A
tramway and bins have been COM
pleted."

USUALLY DRY IS
COVERED WITH WATER
RAILROAD MAN TELLS OF DAM
AGE DONE BY
STORMS

David Aspland, general agent OF
the Tonopah and Tidewater railroad
in Goldfield, returned to camp yes
teray after an absence of two days
spent in inspecting the damage done
by the recent transforms to the road
bed and track of that line in the
vicinity of Silver Lake and Crucero,
Cal.
Mr.. Aspland stated that the water
washed out the roadbed and tracks
at various points for a distance of
about fifteen miles, all of which have
been completely repaired, regular
traffic having been resumed several
days ago. In consequence OF the
storms, Silver Lake, usually dry, is,
according to Mr.. Aspland, covered
with water to a depth of four feet,
which extends for six miles in width
and eight miles in length.

THE BUCKSKIN MARY
LEASE is FINANCED

Buckskin mountain. of all Nevada
camps, is at present in the limelight
of the mining world. There is a
good inquiry for stocks in the sew
eral companies that have been or
ganized, which are selling at several
times as much as is usually com
handed by new corporations for
their shares.
1t is probable that every foot of
the Buckskin Mary, National Buck
skin and the Buckskin National
could be leased in one day, but as
leasers will be unable to start opera
lions much before the first of May,
the companies are taking their time
in awarding leases, it being their in
tention to do business only with
responsible parties, men who have
sufficient capital in sight to thor
oughly develop their leaseholds.
The first lease on the Buckskin
Mary was given to d. R. Dwyer, the
well-known mining man, about a
month ago, and he left shortly af-
forwards for Los Angeles. In a let
ter received by the Silver State this
morning Mr.. Dwyer states that he
has financed the proposition and will
put a force of men to worn as sool
as the weather will permit

G0LDF|ElO TAX
RATE REDUCED
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FIX
LEVIES FOR THE PRESENT
YEAR

The county commissioners, who are
are at present holding their regular
monthly meeting, late yesterday af-
ternoon fixed the tax rates for the
year 1914. The levy in the town of
Goldfeld, within the fire limits, was
fixed at $4.56 on the 500 valuation,
which is twenty cents lower than
that of last year.
On property in Goldfield but out
side of the fire limits, as we'll as in
Columbia and M,,lers, no changes
were made in the rates, namely,
$2.71, 1921 and $2.31, respectively.
The tax on property in the county,
outside of the towns named, remains
the same as last year, at 1921. To
provide funds for the redemption of
school bonds, the commissioners fix
ed the Blair town rate at $2.41, a
twenty-cent increase over the levy of
last year.

STILL THINK WELL
OF G0LDYKt CAMP

G.. X. JARVIS, the we'll known pros
pector, who has been identified with
almost every camp of Importance in
Nevada and has a reputation for
knowing a good place when he finds
it, is in Tonopah for a few days be-
fore returning to Goldyke, where he
has been prospecting continuously for
the past month.
Mr.. Jarvis reports a good strike on
the o. X. Davis group, three quar-
ters of a mile from the Nevada
Chief, in the winze 1852 feet from the
surface Davis has opened a couple
of streaks where free paintings have
been had with values running $40 to
$40 in gold on a big vein.
The Nevada Chief is improving
daily in the drifts with good milling
values. the best Mr.. Jarvis has eve
seen in a new property. The values
run at the ratio of SO in silver to 81
in gold.
Forty-five people are in the district
and more are expected as soon as the
prove. Now travelling is almost i'm
possible even for high-power ma
chimes. A car of lumber is now be-
ing delivered at Butler and the lodg-
ings and boarding house will go up
right away.
The Nevada Chief Extension Min
ing articles have been filed. The
company has an authorized capital
of 100000 shares, par value 25
cents each. S. M. Priest, j. c. Flem-
ing and George N. Lanouette, all of
Tonopah are the incorporators.-
