CONCERNING
OVERDRAFTS

In general letter sent to all banks by the State
Banking Department, the Commissioner orders
that bank depostors be instructed along the fol-
lowing lines:
Bank depositors may not realize it, but check
on a bank for more funds than are deposited be-
comes an actual overdraft at once as far as the
drawer is concerned" He requests the depositors
TO not draw check with the intention to make
deposit to protect it before it reaches The bank
Something may prevent the deposit. Then trou-
BILE will result to somebody sure either the draw
er. the holder or the bank officers; somebody suf-
fers every time it is done.
He further says that he believes more trouble is
caused along this line by reason of the failure of
depostors to keep record of their checks as drawn
than any other cause. "DepositOrS, he says,
"must assume that responsibility OF keeping their
own records of Withdrawals SO to know at all
times the amount they should have in the bank,
and never resort to the practice of depending on
the banks books to known what is or should be
the actual balance on hand"
Customers are urged to keep careful accounts
of checks drawn against their depositOrs, and ii
this is done there should be no excuse for any
account ever being overdrawn at a bank
The law is very plain and strict along this line
and we earnestly request our customers to CO.
operate in the wsy suggested Tor their own BEN
eft as well as the benefit of ourselves and those
to whom the checks are made payable.

MINING CLAIMS
 AT HAWK INLET
 TO BE MAPPED
Charles Williams, One of Owners Here to do Assess
 ment Work and Mapping.

Considerable work, to cost in the ncighborhood of $10,000, is to be done on a group of about forty claims owned at Hawk Inlet on Admiralty Island by Charles Will jams and J. Brown, according to MT. Williams, who arrived in the city on the Frances E. last night. Among the claims are those at one time owned by the late George Reidi and Dr. Martin Damourette but which Mr. Williams said he located two years ago after the former nent work on them for several years.
 The now owners have each year, since locating, been doing their assessment work and this year be- sides doing assessment will have an engineer survey them to make a map of them, it is said and also do some work is opening them up.
 MT Williams will be here for a short time awaiting a crew of men and then will leave for the claims to start work. Accoring to him there is no bonanza mine at Hawk Inlet but a very large body of high grade ore which he and his asso- ciates hope in time to get developed in such shape that they can dispose of to some mining company that will work it on a big scale.
 According to MT. Williams, pr. Martin Damourette, who is now at Seattle selling stock in a company to develop mines at Hawk Inlet, owns one claim there but has no connection whatever with himself and associates who, own practically all the mineralized ground in that vicinity.
