TRAGIC END N DESERT

At the inquest held Friday over
the body of Daniel NJ. Mcdonald, the
coroner's jury declared that deceased
came to his death as the result of ex-
posure and exhaustion.
The body of the unfortunate young
man was brought to Ely last We'd
nesday by the searching party that
had been out for nearly week In a
vain endeavor to find the missing
man who had wandered away from
the camp of the surveying party COM
posed of himself and r. p. Arnold.
From the statements at the in
quest it appears that r. p. Arnold
and Dan Mcdonald were making a
survey for w. D. Colwell, at Saora-
mento Pass near osceola.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who has not been
In the bestref health for some time
past, was unable to stand the strain
of watkins over the hills, and when

Mr.. arnold decided he wonld NETS

G ore another man. When he returned
TO camp Letter in the evening he dis
covered that young Mcdonald was
missing, but as he did not return the
next morning he started an inquiry
ias to his whereabouts. When the
Hbsence of the young man became a
S rious matter and he could not be
located at any of the ranches.

sys .ematic search was started.

and Indian Grover. an expert trailer
Owing TO the snow storm Friday
night IL was difficult matter to pick
up the trail Of the missing man, but
Tuesday morning John McKernan
and party discovered the first evil
dence of the trail which led down the
pass from camp and into the slough
at the mouth of the pass. The trail
indicated that Mcdonald had at
tempted to avoid the treaoherous
slough, but later had crossed the al
kali mud to a high spot that sup
ported an isolated tree. Here the
tracks were beaten into the ground
and looked as If the wanderer had
tramped all night In an effort to keep
warm. Other tracks indicated that
Mcdonald had crossed the mud and
gone back on the Arm rocky ground
where the trail was lost.
The main party was notified and
Wednesday morning picked up the
lost trail which was followed with
difficulty until J. o. Egan discovered
the body laying in the sage brush.
The young man had removed his
outer clothing and shoes, being COW
cred only by his underclothing. Tie
clothing was later found piled on

work, and had he regularly followed
that line could have won a high place

His untimcly passing has been q

bereavement that has come 20 them

that the exposure to the storm had
wet his clothing and that he had re-
moved them to dry and attempted to
keep himself warm by moving around
in the sun. but his weakened condi-
tion brought on unconsciousneSs,
from which he never recovered.
The position of the body when
found indicated that the young man
had sat down In q thick sage brush
and had fallen over backwards. The
body showed signs of decomposition
when found. which caused the belief
that young Mcdonald may have died
sometime Saturday morning follow
Ing his night of exposre.
1t is believed by the friends OF the
young man that he realized he was
not feeling able 10 work and a. he
is accustomed to walk about the
country. having had considerable ex-
perience In prospecting, that he de-
eided to walk to the Osceola road and

PAVED HIGHWAY
Seems ASSURED
Prslin,iaary Work q
Start Al Oneo q Pro-
posed Boulevard.

The project of q paved boulevard
between McGill and Ely INTRODUCED
before the board Of county commits
sioners by District Attorney II. w.
Edwards last January. reached III
full development at . meeting Of tho
county nbard with State Highway
Engineer c. G. Cotrell and business
man Of Ely in the court house last
Friday.
Engineer Cottrell explained that
the estimates on the construction Of
an asphaltum road for the distance
of about sixteen miles would Cost
approximately 100000. OF this
amount the state would pay $780,
900 and the County of White Pine
$150.000. The one million bond r.
sue for road building determined ON
by the state ut the last legislature.
would be apportioned throughout the
different counties according to the
assessed valuation OF each which
would be $4,000 issue for White
Pine, but the county was authorized
in 1919 to float an issue Of $4,000
for county highways.
The proposed road will be q FL
foot roadway with q fifteen-foot as
phalt paved section. which Is the
same construction as the main trunk
roads throughout the state Of Cali
fornia. The three-foot shoulders of
macadam on each side of the paved
section makes the road boulevard
for the entire width.
Under the regulations of the state
highway commission the road
through an Incorporated city must
be constructed by the city as the
federal aid regulations forbid the
construction of its projects within
the limits of such cities.
The road will cost approximately
$4,000 per mile and will be when
completed, the finest road for the
distance of any in the state.
A surveying party under the SUPER
vision of the state highway engi-
neers is now on its way to Ely and
preliminary work on the road will be
started at once.
Two separate contracts will be let
for the building of the road, one
from McGiIl to Ely and the other
from Ely to Keystone in Robinson
The prospects are that construc-
tion work Will begin about the latter
part of June. and work continued
until November Under ordinary
conditions the road VIII be completed
in 1921.
The McGill-Ely boulevard will con
meet with the Lincoln, Highway at
Keystone. the state highway project
which was lately completed by the
Lincoln Construction company OF
Ely, making an up-to-da<e road from
the Smelter to 1llipah.
As provided for by the last legis-
lature. the White Pine County High
way Bonds. which will be issued for
the construction of this road, win
be in denominations of five hundred
dollars each and bear interest at the
rate of s per cent, payable on the
first day of January of each year aft

ing money whereas at that time Stock
Exchange speculation was responsible for
the strain in credit
Bankers assert that recent call loan
rates on renewals have been artificiallv
low and not representative of real money
market conditions. Reports that the in
terror is sending funds To this centre are
not borne out by the experience of at lea st
some important banks. A reverse move
ment is in progress, they assert. The de-
crease in gold holdings of the Federal Re-
serve Bank bears out this statement.
The big demand for money for COM
mercial credits is attributed to various
causes. One is the high current level Of
commodity prices. Another is the prac-
tjce of some business interests of accumu-
Ia ating large stocks of all kinds of mer-
chandise in anticipation OF a heavy for
eign buying movement as soon as the
treaty is ratified. Speculation in COM
modities has not been curbed TO any eN-
tent in spite of warnings of Federal Re-
serve authorities. 1t is not Anticipated thai
this evil will be corrected to any i'm
portant degree until after the conference
of bankers in Chicago on January 80 when
il is hoped the banks of the country will
agree upon an interest rate policy which
will free the hands of the Federal Reserve
Board. The next development. it is pre-
dicted. would be an advance in the com
mercial paper discount rate to discourage
'unessential loans"

RESERVE RATIO OF FEDERAL
BANK AT NEW LOW LEVEL;
DECLINES TO 1876 PER CENT

Further decline in the reserve ratio OF
the Federal Reserve Bank to $50 per cent
J was reported yesterday by that institution.
This is a new low ratio in the history of
that institution. II compares with 3s7. the
reserve ratio reported the previous week.
which up to that time was the lowest vet
shown. In other words, it indicated that
iLflation of credit Is continuing in spite Of
the various measures adopted by the
Federal Reserve Board to bring about a
contraction
While the Federal Reserve Bank was
reporting a new low reserve ratio the
Clearing House banks issued a statement
OF condition showing that their surplus
>.eserves have been completely exhausted
and a small deficit created as a result of
the movement OF money last week Sur
plus reserves Of the associated institu-
tions decreased s57, ,391. 900 last week. with
the result that deficit of s2,9l9 ESQ was
established. This is the fourth deficit re-
ported BY the Clearing House banks in
less than year.
\ AS far as the Clearing House banks are
concerned the deficit in reserves was not
as serious a development as appears on
the face of the figures. The Clearing
House statement no longer bears the
81 gnificance which attached to it prior TO
the creation of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn 1t now must be read in connection
with the Reserve Bank statement That
statement yesterday showed that member
banks had liquidated war paper loans
freely the last week. The decrease in that
item was S77 600. In other words, the
member banks applied surplus funds to
paying off their own Indebtedness. 1t was
these payments which caused a shrnkage
of $63 900 in reserves held for their ac-
count by the central bank. Read in this
light their weekly tatement reveals an
ACTUALLY stronger position than they occu-
pied the previous week Not only did the
banks reduce their own Indebtedness, but
they reduced loans outstanding to GUS
toners by S22 $4,000. Other important
changes in the statement were decrease
in net demand deposits of $40 775,0O0 and
government Withdrawals of S9,36l,C0)
The further decrease in the reserve
ratio of the Federal Reserve Bank prob
ably is explainabe by the loss in gold
held by the bank. Total gold reserves last
week decreased So. .3OS, 600, while all re-
serves including gold, legal tender notes
and silver, showed decrease of SOL, S660CO.
The member banks. while paying off war
paper loans. increased their discounts of
commercial paper by s27.229. 900. This shows
that the process of switching loans to
commercial collateral from war paper is
proceeding.
The lesson of the bank statement plain
ly is that there is no real ease in money.
This bears out the statements of bank
ers that demands for funds are enormous
with this difference between present con-
ditions and those prevailing last autumn
that commercial credits now are absorb
