commanded Assistant Cashier Fincher
to get into the vault, which he did,
and was shut in. The vault had a
burglar alarm connection from within
which communicated with the general
store of w. c. Hays, who is the banks
president.
The residents exchanged several
shots with the bold marauders, but no
one was struck.
The men had been In Amity all day
talking horse trades. They frequented
the stores and told inquirers that they
were cowboys from Oklahoma. They
were of disreputable appearance and
seemed anxious to create the impress
sion that they were bad men," for
they frequently exhibited their guns
In the meantime, Mr.. Fincher. in
the bank vault, was frantilly pushing
the burglar alarm button. A crowd
quickly gathered and as the men start
ed to ride away, two shots were fired
from the crowd The robbers respond
ed with two shots fired in the air and
galloped away.

Southern banks, already in better

Their assured of federal backing and
well-extended credit by Secretary Nc
Adoos promise of S30,000,000 in gold
for the federal reserve banks, accord
ing to bankers of Little Rock.
Through the federal reserve banks,
their correspondent banks, the country
banks and the small-town merchants,
in well-defined, if somewhat lengthy
channel, the small farmers will profit
by Secretary McAdoo's efforts to make
money available in the South at a rea-
sonable rate of interest.
An increase in the amount of money
for loans in the South will benefit the
farmer and help him in gradually plac-
ing his cotton on the market and pre-
vent distressed cotton" forcing down
the price. That the action of the al
lies in declaring cotton contraband
will have but little effect on the mar.
ket, is the general opinion in Little
Rock. Germany has not figured as
large market for cotton during the last
year. The allies action will be bal!
anced by change in the place Of
manufacture rather than in quantity
of demand for manufacture, as one
Little Rock banker stated it. Secre-
tary McAdoo's promised deposit is
well calculated to make up for the loss
of the German and the Austrian mar
kets, according to New York cotton
experts. The amount Secretary Nc
Adoo will make available will allow
farmers to carry 100000 bales of
cotton for later sale, as much as Aus
tria and Germany bought in times Of
peace.

Forty-eight rough. ing tables and one hundred and twen- ty-two finishing tables are to be in- stalled. The process throughout the mill will be one of straight concen- tration
 The mill, like the Alaska-Gastineau plant. Is to be of four sectioi 8, of 2.O00 tons capacity each.

 The 50-stamp pilot mill, which was built two years ago. will probably be used as an extension of the new mill. It eventually will be standardized, with the ball mill equipment. The pilot mill was built after the pattern of the Teadwell mills, with vanners.
 The power plant will consist of two 5.000-kilowatt turbo generators, one of which will be O reserve. A 55.000-bar- rel oil tank will be located nearby. The site has been already graded for the tanks and part of the power plant
