RECEIVER Of BANK
WOULD DELAY END

During the hearing of the State
Bank receivership matter before
Judge Langan, against whom removal
proceedings were instituted during
the recent session of the legislature.
Receiver Frank Wildes submitted a
report, while on the stand. which
shows that the net receipts amounted
to 1861, 44S.9S since Wildes took over
its affairs. or this amount the de-
positors received s228.439.S6. and
there is on hand sS,442.32. The ex-
penses embraced all of the law suits,
the clearing of accounts. the costs of
collections, salaries, insurance and
taxes.
Wildes stated that he believed by
holding all of the property intact for
one year the depo3itors would be paid
another dividend ranging from 10 to
l1b per cent; II forced sale OF all
the properties were insisted upon that
not over a 2ia per cent dividend could
be realized.
On forced sale, 1t was shown that
the Tonopah bank property might
bring $50. 1000, the Carson bank $4,000
and the Croker building $4,000. while
the Manhattan mining claims might
bring $4,000, at the same moment the
latter ground is held by concern un-
der a 100000 bond. the bond to run
one year.
It is evident from expressions OF
attorneys, said the Carson Appeal
that they will recommend the forced

banks interests and the discharge O.

TUNGSTEN TARIFF
AREN'T PROPOSAL

A bill has been introduced by Con-
gresham AREN'T which IL passed will
mean much to mining interests of
this state. in that 1t provides for a
tariff on tungsten ore and concen-
trates. During the war some excel
lent tungsten properties were de-
veloped in Nevada, those closest to
Winnemucca being in what is now
Pershing county and near Golconda,
in this county. In competition with
the Chinese product, produced by
cheap Coolie labor, these mines could
not be made to pay and in conse-
quence have been closed down.
Should Congressman AREN'T bill be-
come law these mines would be
re-opened and provide employment
for many men in this state.
While Congressman Arentz' meas
ure is purely a tariff proposition, 1t
is entitled "a bill to provide revenue
for the Government and to promote
the production of tungsten ores and
manufactures thereof in the United
States" 1t provides that on the day
following passage duty shall be col
lected of $40 per unit Of tungstic tri-
oxide contained in tungsten-bearing
ores and concentrates. A unit is de-
fined as one per cent of short ton
of 1000 pounds. namely, twenty
pounds of tungstic trioxide.
Metallic tungsten. nine-tenths OF
one cent per pound IL contained In
manufactured articles. High speed
tungsten steel and all alloy steels
containing tungsten. thirty-five per
cent ad valorem.

QUICK ACTION IN ELKO COURT
AFTER RAID FOR NARCOTICS

Last Friday afternoon two federal
officers made a raid on Chinatown
assisted by local officers, says the
Elko Free Press. At the house run
by Ng All Mon they found a small
quantity of opium and pipe, and at
another house they found quantity
of morphine, but the owner had taken
the alarm and fed. The morphine
was found in small can concealed
in a dirty bath towel hanging on the
inside of the front door and consisted
of what is known as "bingles," which
sell at a dollar each and contain
enough of the dope for dose. Ng
All Mon was taken before the justice
court, where he was found guilty and
Judge Doughty fined him $500 and
costs amounting to $3.50, which he
paid.
