ELY NATIONAL BANK IS
SOLD TO MCCORMICK

Mccormick and company have Sc
cured controlling interest in the
Ely National Bank by taking over
the interests of former president A..
B. Witcher and other holdings.
The deal was consummated thro
the efforts of President James Rior-
dan and Vice-President John Weber
with the assistance of Mr.. A. r..
Witcher and the board of directors
composed of the president, vice-pres-
ident. James NJ. Collins and Chas. A..
Walker.
This deal has been pending for
several weeks, since the announce
ment that Mr.. Witcher would retire
from the banking business. Mr..
James Riordan was elected president
of the banking corporation last
month and has taken an active in
terest in the building up of this
business in Ely.
The Mccormick company of bank
ers Is one with resources reaching
into the millions and has long been
rated as one of the chief financial
interests in the west
Mr.. Witcher will devote his time
to his extensive mining interests in
eastern Nevada which have been in
creasing to such an extent as to re-
quire his entire attention.
The Ely National bank was organ.
lied December IL, 1908. The incor-
porators and first directors wefe A.
B. Witcher, Neil Munro. John Weber,
I. C. Moon and II. A. Leach. Mr..
Witcher has been president from the
first. Mr.. Munro was chashier until
his death. after which Mr.. Weber
was acting cashier.
The bank has been fortunate by
reason of the popularity of the per-
sonnel of it's management. Every
courtesy consistent with good bank
ing has been extended to customers
and many a business here owes ite
success to the friendly cooperation
OF the bank under the policy thus ex-
emplified by Mr.. Witcher's and the
banks directors, broad-minded pol
icy.

to the west. Ragtown was one of
the overland stations which was sup
posed to have received It's name from
the number of rags scattered along
the banks OF the Carson.
According to the authority of pio-
Deers the immigrants travelling west
to the gold fields of California took
advantage of the first opportunity to
plunge into the cooling waters of the
Carson and divested themselves of
their garments which they scattered
along the banks, souvenirs oil the ter
rible journey left behind.
The Illipah Basin Oil and Gas COM
pany was the pioneer in selecting
Fallon as prospective oil field and
although the geologists declared that
the presence of once active volcano
formation made the prospecting for
oil hazardous adventure, the COM
pany had the faith and the backing
to explore.
At Illipah in White Pine County
the geological formation is much
more to the liking of the experts,
whose only objection when making
the examination for a report was that
signs of volcanic action has been dis
covered at point about 40 miles
south of the Illipah field. The I'LL
pah formation is very like that of
the proven fields in Wyoming.
According to Engineer Mac Far
land who explained the formation to
q party of Ely people, consisting of
w. A. Lenord editor of the Record,
J. C. Wheeler and George E. Moore
who made a trip to the fields this
week, the structure of the field is
exposed and may be read like book.
From this said Mr.. Mcfarland, I'VE

guess-work. which gives us great ad-
vantage over the Fallon field. where

ing of this oil has largely disposed
Of our chance of failure. 1t does not
seem reasonable now that We can fail
to get, not only oil. but a gusher at
Illipah, as the formation now being
drilled is impervious to either water,
gas or oil. 1t is the cork to the hot
tight. When the drill penetrates to
the sand it should 'uncork" the
gusher."
