DEFUNCT BANK
SALE IS HELD
IN ABEYANCE
Advertised Sale of Property Is
Set Aside by Ruling of
Judge Frank Langan.

Judge Frank P. Langan in the dis
trict court Tuesday disapproved of
the sale of the property Of the
State Bank & Trust company. which
was offered at auction several weeks
ago by Receiver F. L. Wildes, who
then disposed of it subject to court
approval.
Judge Langan based his ruling OF
disapproval on the ground that the
printed notice of sale was defective
and did not conform to the court
order.
There was no argument Of the
merits of the sale or the justness Of
the prices obtained, except that At
torney H. r. Cooke, urged confir-
nation of the sale for $4,000 OF the
company's building in Tonopah. He
said that In the event Of the prop
erty being again offered, the likeli-
hood would be OF a smaller price
being bid. This item and that OF the
building owned by the company in
Carson City, were the principal items
In the sale.
Receiver Wildes was present with
his attorney, George Green. The
state was represented by Robert
Richards, deputy attorney-generah
who filed objections to the confir-
nation of the sale on the grounds
recognized by the court.
The encouragement and the at
torney for the receiver were autho-
rized to make an effort to dispose
Of the property by private sale, fail
ing in which another sale at auction

Development is going steadily for

and the mine is showing a decided
improvement, with prospects bright
for ore shipment being increased in
due course Of events.
On the 700 level, work has been
suspended temporarily until connec-
tion has been made from the Bel
mont side The reason for the stop
page of this work is attributed to
the length of the drift which has
become too hot for the comfort of
the miners, but as soon as the con-
nection has been made a natural
circulation of air will be secured for
both the North Star and Belmont
workings,
On the 500 level of the North Star

ress an a nice streak of good grade
ore Is being followed that was en-
countered under the Mizpah fault.
On the 900 intermediate level a
raise has been started to connect
with the drift on the 500 level, and
excellent values are showing.
On the 1850 level a crosscut is
being extended into the hanging
wall of the vein which is known as
the Mcdonald in order to pick up
faulted segment that was lost fol-
lowing the heavy production that
was made from the Henie stope.
A crosscut is being extended from

which is designed to intersect the
faulted segment of small high

ago. Stopping has. also been started
on a body of milling ore on this
drift known as 1913. Minor pros
pecting is being performed on the
