With water in a solid sheet from Tenth avenue to the river and from Texas street to Ohio; with virtually 'he same conditions centered at Cedar street and Fourteenth avenue; 1; with hundreds of houses already vacated and as many likely to be vacated today, backwater flood con- ditions in Pine Bluff this morning are worse than they have been at any time in the past.
 All of yesterday, following the fearfully-rapid rise of the water in the streets and into the houses, scores of drays and wagons were busy at the work of moving out household goods and people. The city answered dozens of calls for assis- tance. The Associated Charities answered many. The city could have used more teams and vehicles, if they were obtainable. All the bag gage and transfer companies aided materially in the work, and the city's entire street and police department was employed. But this was not enough,

CREDITORS BANK 0F p. B. ID JET
 FIFTH DIVIDEND Judge Elliott Orders Checks Issued for z Per Cent
 of Claims. ABOUT $45, GOO TO
 BE DISTRIBUTED Payment Possible Now by Reason of C. H. Triplett, Purchaser of Banks Assets, Meeting Payments Before Due-Another Dividend i'm April.

Creditors of the old Bank of Fine Bluff will receive, in few days, checks for seven per cent of the amount of their claims against the institution at the time it suspended business. f7MN
 The order for the payment of sev- en per cent dividend was entered yes- terday afternoon by Judge John M. Elliott in the Jefferson chancery court.
 That the dividend can be paid at this time is due to the fact that c. H. Triplett, who purchased the assets of the Bank of Pine Bluff. is meeting payments before they fall due. MT. Triplett paid over to the state bank commissioner on Saturday about $45,- 900. and also offered to bear the ex- pense of drawing the dividend checks that there might be no delay or cost to the creditors.
 Judge Elliott's order authorizes MT. Triplett to draw the checks, and 1n- structs the state bank commissioner, John M. Davis, to sign and forward them to the creditors of the Bank of Pine Bluff.
 This will be the fifth dividend paid to creditors of the institution. ana will make a total of 40 per cent or their claims. It is expected that an | other 10 per cent dividend will be paid in April.
 Creditors will receive 100 per cent of their claims, this being assured bv the price paid by Mir. Triplett fol the assets, and Judge Elliotts super vision of the matter since it came un' der his Jurisdiction.

fact, the present metallurglcal margin between the value of the metals in such complex ores and the price usual lN paid for such an ore is so large that many people are considering entering the field ot treatment of complex ores. Throughout southwest and central Colorado are numerous deposits of such complex ores, most of which are not being worked as the total cost of smelting is at present so high as to make it almost prohibitVe to treat the ores.
 In New Mexico the magnetic separa- ticn plants at Kelly. Silver City and Hanover were visited by MT Ralston. Each Of these plants is located in the complex ore district, and is making zinc or ziac-lead products from ores contaminated with iron su!phide The magnetic concentration plants are re- moving the iron from such ores. It was learned that such large loses of ore were sustained in these plants from GUstiGs. etc. that as q rule one pound Of zine is lost for every two pounds shipped from the mill in concentrate. On that account methods of treatment Cf such ore yielding higher recoveries of the zinc should he developed and used. Plans are now on foot for doing this.
 At Bisbec Arizona. it was found that while this mining camp is reputed to be q producer of copper. it is now de- veloping large reserves of lead and zinc ores. Lead carbonate ores, which are very difficult to concentrate, are present in many of the copper mines and are being exploited in only a few instances. As the Salt Lake station has developed three alternative meth Ods of treatment of such ore during the study of Utah problems it has been quite easy to get out an immediate so- lution of the difficulties in this dis trict, and the Shattuck- Arizona Cop per Co has now employed as metallur- ,ist Glenn L. Allen, formerly one of the
 fellows of the department of meallur- gical research at the Salt Lake station It is further learned that in the Junc- tion mine of this district a very large body of complex sulphides of lead. zinc and iron has been developed These are very similar to the Colorado com plex ores
 In the Chloride Kingman district oi Arizona considerable activity is now going on in the mining of comple3 ores. and throughout Arizona at various places are locations where this type oi ore is being developed.
 At Los Angeles Mir. Ralston visited the plant of the Stebbins Dry Con centrator Co. In many of the inter mountain mining camps not enougf water is available for milling purposes and it has been found that many of the lead and zinc ores of lower grade are not being concentrated, due to this de ficiency; hence a study of the variou: methods of dry concentration will some time be taken up by the Salt Lake sta tion. The plant of the Western Pre- cipitation Co. at Los Angeles was alsC visited and samples of some strange products for testing in Notation were obtained. This company is exploiting the Cottrell precipitation process. anC in passing petroleum and other oi vapors through COttrell treater some strange new products were obtained which promise to be good 'frothers' for Notation work.-Mining and lGn gineering World.

long fibered asbestos was obtained While Wyoming produces asbestos. ;his material is of the serpentlne type and is short -fibered. Lately large de- pcsits of the long-fibered type of as hestos were discovered in Arizona the largest deposits being in the Sierra Ancha and at Ash Creek. The asbestos of Arizona is chrysotile as- bestos and is found in lime and dia base. Its nature makes 1t especially useful for the manufacture of fabrics. The high grade material is at least 30 per cont of the total material mined and i.s the only material that is being shipped, due to the high freight.

The Situation in the Silver Market
 The silver market has been swept nore clear of supplies and a further ldVance in rates is predicted by Sam uel Montagu x Co.,, of London. This increase of rates became unavoidable owing to continued strength of the China exchanges which led to pur- 3haSes i'll America and also in London inquiries embraced mintage orders, or ders for general purposes, and for h. Han baZaarS. The bearish view of the Indian bazaare had led to beari5h selling in London, putting the market m strong technical position which IS, in view of statistical conditions. not without danger.
 Conditions are now more sound than when the spectacular movement in May carried the quotation to high records. During the intervening time the Chinese stock has been greatly re- duced. America has been relieved of certain accumulations she then held. Ind the Indian currency figures, not Wlthstanding very large continuous purchases for the Indian hints, show q declining tendency. The silver mar ket has often lived up to it's repu- ation of doing the unexpected, but the situation is such that further ad- vances may be looked for before the close of the year, provided no new factor intervenes
 The higher price of silver will re- duce cost of production of the prom inent metal companies as value of gold and silver in the ore used as an 1 offset to reduce the cost of producing Anaconda. for instance, is a bigger silver producer than most silver mines and the iDcrea sing cODDer oIltp1t nj | that company means an increasing silver output. The same applies tc ! other coppers, as Utah and Granby Butte and Superior with it's November production of 15,15S,000 pounds of zinC concentrates produced 312,000 ounces of silver. All the smelting companies treating custom ore profit from ad- vancins silver prices.

U. S. Bureau of Mines on Complex Ore
 Problems

A bulletin has been recently issued by the U. s. Bureau of Mines giving in detail the work carried on by Oliver C. Ralston, in study of the complex ore problems of various mining dis tricts in the west. He visited portions of Colorado, Arizona and California. in all of which the ore problem was studied and the metallursical plants investigated.
 At Pueblo, Colorado there was found q zinc shelter which is the only one in this country running on a zinc-lead basis. The zinc in complex ores of this type is first distilled and the residue is then sent to lead blast furnaces for extraction of the lead, silver and gold. As far as could oe learned, most of the zinc. lead, silver and gold values in such ores are being recovered in this plant. but the present Ore-buying con- ditions are such that such a smelter pays for only 60 per cent of the lead in a zinc ore, and at a figure consider ably below the market value of the lead, and the same is true of silver In

 Among the numerous prospective mines of Oatnlan which are being vigorously developed interest just now centers on the Crescent, Nellie and Adams in the Black range section and the Nanhoe, which lies between the Times mine an6 the Crown City prop erty of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, all of which have reached ground workings
 The Nellie mine mas entered the
 vein in the shaft at 375 feet and pro- poses to continue sinking, passing though the vein and to the 800 level where a cross-cut will be driven to cut the vein again. On the 35G level considerable drifting was done and some good ore encountered. but it was not uniform. IL is the belief that a depth of 800 will disclose Q body of good ore and it is the plan of develop ment to drive a drift to the east where three veins appear to form a i junction.
 The Adams shaft was sunk to a depth of 425 feet and a station cut a. i the 4G0 level from which a cross cut
 is to be driven to the vein. which should he cut within 50 feet. The company is now installing an 80 h.-p. engine and large pumps and making i provision to handle a heavy flow of
