aid toward that end.
1t is granted among Georgia bank
ers and business men generally that
Georgia's sole chance of getting one
of the big banks is to get it for AT
Ianta. 1t is we'll known that no other
Georgia city has chance, and the
plan now is to put up a solid front,
with all the bankers and business
men in the whole State standing to-
gether on the claim that the regional
bank for the South should be estab-
lished in Atlanta.
The big meeting of the bankers was
decided on at a meeting of the Clear

invitations are to be mailed out Fri
day to all the banks in the State.

Congressman Howard expressed

"Mr McAdoo and his party, as you

MARYLANO'S OUTPUT
Of COAL FALLS OFF

The coal mined in Maryland in
1913 amounted to 4,779,S39 short
tons, valued at $5,927,O46, accord
ing to figures compiled by E. w.
Parker of the United States geologi-
cal survey, in cooperation with the
state geological survey. This was
less than the amount mined in 1912
by 1S4,199 short tons, but the value
showed a gain of $S7,967 and exceed
ed that of any year since 1907. The
annual production of Goa in Mary
land has been fairly constant for
the last 16 years, the smallest out
put in that period being in 1909,
when it amounted to 4,O23,241 tons,
and the largest in 1907, when it
reached ~5,532,62S tons. The output
in 1913 was very close to the aver
age of the 16 years. 1t is not to be
expected that the production will
show any material increase in the
future, as the Maryland big vein,"
from which the larger part of the
output has been obtained, is ap-
preaching exhaustion, and although
there is still a good supply remaining
in the thinner and deeper beds, it t.
not probable that the future annual
tonnage from them will exceed the
regards of the past, if indeed it main
tains the same importance.
The record of individual efficiency
by the miners of Maryland is high.
In 1913 the 5,645 men employed in
the coal mines of the state worked
an average of 248 days, with an av-
erage production by each man of
SAT tons for the year. This is an ex-
%ceptionally good average when it is
considered that 4,373,92O tons, or
91.5 per zen of the total, was min
ed by hand. The quantity of coal
shot off the said was only 293,95O
tons.
There was only one instance of la
Dor trouble in 1913. and that was in
two days. In 1912 there were but
three strikes reported, the longest of
which lasted twelve days.
The bureau of mines has reported
thirteen fatal accidents in 1913 in
the coal mines of Maryland, the
same number as in 1912; but as
there we're fewer men employed and
a smaller quantity mined in 1918,
the rate of death was slightly in
creased and the tonnage per life
lost slightly less. The records for
both years were better than the av-
erage and were surpassed by only
a few other states.

MAY SOON BUILD MILL
FOR CAMP OF HAYSTACK

E. E. Montgomery. j. w. Douglass
and Otto Graetz returned yesterday
from Haystack. The two former,
who have a lease on the j. B. Truitt
property, state that they will rest for
a short time, until negotiations have
been completed for a mill for the
camp, says the Silver State.
They state that they have a large
body of free milling ore that runs
$40 to $25 gold per ton. but will
hardly pay to ship. Eric Johnson has
a five-stamp mill that is now locat-
ed near Inlay, twelve miles from
Haystack, and he has made an offer
to haul and mill the ore for So per
ton. Parties at the camp, however,
want the mill moved to Haystack to
save the expense of hauling, and ne
gotiations to that end are now in
progress.
The Murray and Austin lease ship
ped another carload this week that is
estimated to be worth $35 to $40 per
ton. The company is preparing to
make a shipment during next week.

NEW ZEALAND MINERALS

The mineral production Of New

ARKELL PROPERTY is SAID
TO BE MAKING GOOD

What was started as a real hole in
the ground proposition in which it
was expected that little would be
made outside of the promotion end,
the Arkell property, five miles from
Reno, New, has grown into a real
mine, says a recent visitor there. l.
is declared that the ground contains
considerable lead and zinc and that
shortly shipments at the rate OF
twenty-five tons of lead concentrates
and zinc concentrates a day will be
shipped.
AS the story goes the property was
doomed during the time when min
ing booms We're popular. Stock was
sold throughout the country and
some of the money was placed in the
ground. The ground was known as
the Arkell property, because a man
by the name of Arkell was the chief
promoter. 1t is declared that when
money became shy of the venture
Arkell left the country. The prop
erty became involved in litigation
and was held for sale.
A short time ago J. f. Ephriam
purchased the ground and started
work. He had been engaged in de-
velopment work but a short time,
it is said, before he opened up ore.
From this ground it is said that a
shipment Of 40 per cen zinc was
made and that another shipment of
60 per cent lead was sen to market.
Already a good body of ore has been
developed.
1t is the intention to build a small
mill upon the ground at once. This
will produce a lead and a zinc pro-
duet at the rate of twenty-five tons
of concentrates a day.-Herald Re-
publican.

EXCHANGES CLOTHES !.
WITH LOCAL MINER
JAMES MUNRO NOW LANGUISH.
ING IN THE COUNTY
BASTILE

Fair exchange is no robbery, &C
cording to James Munro, whose res
idence has been given as Los Ange-
les, but who is now an occupant of a
cell in the county boarding house.
Frank Dexter, a local miner. residing
on North Main street, rises to ques-
ton the fairness of the exchange.
The first appearance of Munro oc-
Cured when that individual arrived
in camp Friday evening, having been
picked up en- route to Goldfield by
Frank Butler. a cattleman of Bishop,
and brought to camp in the latter's
machine. The next event occurred
when Munro broke into Dexter's
cabin Saturday, while the latter was
at work, and took a new suit of
clothes. leaving his own tattered gar
ments in exchange. Thus attired, he
renewed his journey to the silver
camp, obtaining a lift on the way.
Dexter, upon returning from work,
discovered his loss and complained
to the sheriff's office. Later in the
evening Munro, attired in the miss
ing suit, was arrested in Tonopah
and brought back to Goldfield. At
present he is laboring under the de-
fusion that he is a deaf mute. The
sheriff, however, believes that his af-

FROM MACON CITY

A shipment of fifty tons of ore will

the Macon City mine up the canyon
a short distance from Lane City. The
ore is lead-silver and also carries
some gold and copper. AS work
was only begun by the present oper

all are working in ore.-Expositor.
