Jackson, Miss, December 22.-(Spc-
cial. lit was very gratifying to the
bankers as we'll as other business men
of Mississippi to learn that the state
banks carried so much larger sum OF
cash than they did one year ago. Rob-
ert Hall, secretary of the state bank
commission, has just made out his
summary, showing the resources and
liabilities OF the 2S5 state banks for
the year ending November 20, 1917
and which shows deposits of $780,
445,53S, an increase of $31,S50,734 over
November IT, 1916-more than one
third.
At the same time the total resources
of these 2S5 banks were s130,365,S55
against s93,525,114 for 1916, same
month, an increase of s36.S4o,739, or
nearly one-third more than one year
ago.
These are good figures and are very
gratifying. Such marked increases IN
deposits and resources were not looked
for. They show good business ano
good crops. The farmers have sold
their produce for better prices thar
ever before and have put their money
in the bank where it is going to re-
main until they are forced to pull
1t out.

IN NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA

Mr.. Jacklng did not confine himself
to this Utah property. His temperament
and Intellectual qualities constantly
urged him to greater things. He De-
came therefore associated with copper
properties in New Mexico and Arizona,
but that is not all. AS a citizen of Salt
Lake City he organized banks and re-
vealed unusual ability as a financier.
This ability was recognized by some
of the ablest men OF finance in New
York for two years ago they elected
him director of the Chase National bank
Two or three years ago Mr.. Jackling
with several invited guests, made an
excursion upon his yacht to South Amer
lea. They left the yacht at various sea-
ports and went inland and there re-
ceived information pertaining to copper
deposits which doubtless will be here
after utilized for the development of
these mines. When Judge Z. HI. Gary
chairman of the United States Steel cor
poration's board, made a summer exctlr-
sion to Alaska two years ago, his COM
panion upon that trip was Mr.. Jacllling.
Already Mr. lacking had become inter-
ested in Alaska gold production, and his
friends say that he is of the opinion
which the late John P. Jones, for many
years United States senator from Neva-
da, held even before the discovery of
gold in the Klondike, which was that
ultimately perhaps the richest deposits
of gold anywhere in the world except
South Africa, would be found in Alaska.
The unusual Intellectual and tempefa-
mental gifts which characterize Mr.
Jackling should be of the highest service
to the government, for they will be so
employed as to make it possible speedily
to construct and put in operation indus
trial plants, financed by the government
to the extent of s9o,0o0,000, whose product
is to be explosives.

that they will be had before Christ

THE MISSISSIPPrS CAPTAIN
1t is understood here that Capt. Jo-
seph L. Jayne will be the commander
Of the new battleship Mississippi, soon
to be placed in service, and his friends
here are elated. Captain Jayne Is
brother of r. X. Jayne of this city and
has many other friends and relatives
hereabouts. He was born in Brandon,
Rankin county, about SIS years ago,
and graduated at Annapolis ~ years
later, since which time he has filled
a great many places of Importance,
and is counted one Of the foremost
men in the navy.
NEGROES VS.. WHITES
A New York paper has inquired OF its
Jackson correspondent IL it be true that
the exemption boards of this state have
been excusing the whites for physical
disabilities and registering all negroes
for military service. OF course there is
not word of truth in such report, and
the New York paper was so advised. 1t
so happens that the white boys OF Mis-
sissppi have enlisted 80 to /, and some
of the counties ran ahead of their quota,
any In the first draft. Very few me-
groes have been drawn here so far. but
they will be from now on. However,
they will be treated right, and New
York may rest assured of that
STATE OFFICIALS MOVING
These have been busy days around the
state capitol for the reason that several
of the departments of state are moving
from the capitol to the old capitol, re-
Gently overhauled and repaired from
bottom to top. 1t would seem that
every state official would get into the
old building, and there is good reason.
The old capitol is right downtown.
where everything that goes on may be
seen, while the new capitol Is three or
four blocks out in the residence portion
of town. The rooms are large. clean.
comfortable and well lighted. SO that
they are in fact more desirable than are
the rooms in the new capitol. and it fs
not surprising that departments that
are quartered in crowded space in the
new capitol would rather get to the old
building where room is abundant
LATE GETTING TAXES
The sheriffs and tax collectors of Mis-
sissippi are going to be very late be-
ginning the collection of taxes this year
because of the action of the state tax
COMMISSION III lIQOfSlIlS the equity IOliS
and of the railroad commission in MAX
ing final the heavily increased assess
ment on the public service corporations.
Several of the more important railroads
have already enjoined the collection OF
the increased tax, but have agreed to
pay on the same assessment as last
year, going to court on the one-third
increase. The assessed valuation of the
public service corporations last year was
about s70000,000-the increase this veal
has been in the neighborhood of s33
100000, making a total of about 100000
900. However, the state.tax was reduced
from to mills, so that the taxes
paid will be really very little larger
than last year. Six mills on $4,000, zoo
is $4,000, while mills on s100,00o000 is
but 100000 but the railroads fear that
the counties and the municipalities will
put on such taxes as will knock them
clear out of the water.

JACKLING'S FIRST TRIUMPH

To the westward of Salt Lake City
there stands a mountain which the aea-
demlc men of science reported, after in
vestigation, undoubtedly contained cop
per in inconceivably great amounts. but
in such geologic condition as to make 1t
commercially impracticable to secure this
copper. Mr.. lacking looked often at this
mountain and made many investiga-
tions. He was of the same opinion. SO
far as the copper deposits in the noun
tain were concerned, as were the pro-
fessional experts. But he differed with
them respecting the capacity Of science
to solve the problem of securing this
copper in commercial quantities. He
planned and then put into operation an
engineering system whereby the copper
could be recovered and as a result of it
astonished the world of industry by it's
success, and it was as recently as 1908
that he did this.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1917-12-23
JACKLING'S EARLY TRAINING

If the reports that have been current
since Mr.. lacking obtained prominence
are correct, he gained his early scien-
tific training and his degree of bachelor
of science from the Missouri School of
Mines, chiefly by means of money that
he earned in various ways For little
while he was a teacher, but he heard
the call of the far west and went only
q years ago to the Cripple Creek tCol.)
region. There have been in circulation
reports of romantic nature which tell
of the manner in which he began his
scientific and industrial service there.
For it has been said of him that he be-
gan at the bottom, not of necessity, but
in order that he might learn the details
of the mining industry from the kinder
garten department up. He must have
learned them well, for in 1896 he became
officially associated with the Mercur
Gold mining properties Of Utah.
