RUN CLOSES ELKToN BANK.
Rumors Are Blamed and President
Promises a Reorganization.

4bulhAOE0 IA . A1A@sAAANNA s~--NA = NSA~~~-@-
Promises Reorganization.
The Second National Bank OF
Elkton closed its doors at 2 O'Clock
p. m. Friday, due 1t is alleged, to a
run on the institution by depositors.
For some days there had been
rumors to the effect that the bank
was about to merge with another
institution, also that the concern
was not in very good shape financial
ly. Depositors began to withdraw
their money and the climax came
Friday afternoon.
After it became known that it had
closed its doors many Of the deposit
ors hurried to the bank to try to
learn just what chance they had to
get what belonged to them. They
were met with the following state
ment by its president, William T.
Warburton:
The Second National Bank, of
Elkton, on account of a run made
upon it, closed its doors at o'clock.
On account of some slow investments
and while negotiations were pending
for a consolidation with another
bank in the town rumors were cir
culated which caused the run. The
assets are ample to secure depositors
and the bank will be reorganized
and open again for business.
The bank was organized about 80
years ago by William M. Singerly,
of Philadelphia; William T. War
burton, and several other prominent
local business men. Mr.. Warburton
has been president of the Institution
ever since it started. Oliver C..
Giles is vice president and C. H.
Johnson cashier. The statement of
the bank at the close of business,
December 81, was as follows: Re-
sources, $413,714.30, the principal
items being $214,O53.75 in loans
and discounts, including notes and
bills rediscounted, and $10,997.76
cash; banking house and fixtures,
$14,796.22; bonds and stock secur-
tiles, $164,000; capital stock, $780,
600; surplus fund, $4,000, and un-
divided profits, $11.689.91.
Several citizens of Elkton, who
are interested in the bank, and VIM.
T. Warburton, president of the in
stitution. were in Baltimore this
week to confer with bankers and
Federal officials in regard to reor-
ganizing the bank, but nothing
definite was accomplished. Quite a
number have signifed their willing
ness to help in the reorganization,
provided the "slate" is wiped clean
1t is said that the $121,OOO bonds
Of the Gilpin Falls Electric Company
held by the bank are more of a
stumbling block to the reorganiza-
tion plans than are the slow invest
ments OF the bank. At the best,
the bank cannot be reorganized OF
reopened until the Federal Bank
Examiners complete their work.

DARDENELLES SHIP
 CARLOAD OF ORE

A forty-ton carload of Dardanelles ore is on the way to the Humboldt smelter, the ore having value of be- tween $40 and $50 gold and silver to the ton. This is the first ore to be shipped from this county to the smell ter since it was taken over by the new corporation.
 The Dardanelles has its grading al most complete and the new machinery will be installed shortly and the work of sinking to the 500 level under way. This shaft is to be located about 200 feet north of No. 1 shaft, and will enter the big mineralized zone that was found in the drifts from the old shaft. A road has been graded up to the new shaft, the machinery on the dump and everything put in readiness for the assembling of the machinery. This machinery is the best of its kind in the state and will make the sink ing of the shaft to any depth desir- able a possibility.
 Operations in the old stopes will be continued, shipments going out to the shelter regularly, later to be increas- ed when the new shaft enters the ore body. E. Ford Eaton is looking after the affairs of the company and is meeting with great success.

I. A. MILLS HERE ON
 BUSINESS TRIP

T. A. Mills, who is associated with a number of Bradford, Pa., and Buff falo, N. .Y., mining men in the develop ment of mining properties at Oatman and Bill Williams Fork, was a pleas ant caller at the Miner office last Monday. MT. Mills was on his way from Oatman to Bouse, where he will look after his mining property.
 MT. Mills was resident of Brad ford during the early life of that i'm portant city, having held route on the Bradford Daily Era. The mining editor of the Miner printed the first copies of the Daily Era and was for some time oil we'll reporter on the journal. Bradford, at that time was the ideal oil town. Its first winter as an oil center brought adventurers from all parts of the world. A bed on billiard table in the all night saloons was worth two dollars, and a warm spot on the floor cost one dollar. Rooms in the hotel shacks cost from $5 to $10 per night, no charge being made for the other occupants of the blankets-bedbugs and greybacks. Eats were not so high, because of the fact that towns distance of twenty or thirty miles from the field were furnishing meals for 25c, and board and rooms at second class hotels could be had for $3 and $4 per week. It was getting up in front that cost the money. . ....+.. .., ,, MT. Mills has been in the mining game many years, having had mining interests in many parts of the west, his latest venture being in the Gold field country, of Nevada. The other men associated with him believe that they are in on some good things and will son have matters under way for a big development campaign.

WANTS
INVESTIGATION
into LYNCHING
Embassy Would Also Have
Assurance of Safety of
Consul in Hidalgo;
Life Threatened.

WASHINGTON.-The Mexican en-
bassy has made representations to the
state department against the alleged
lynching of Il Mexican, Elias Nillareal
Zarate in Weslaco, Texas, last Saturday
and asking guarantees of the Mexican
consul in Hidalgo, Texas, whose life is
said to have been threatened.
According to the embassy's advices,
Villareal Zarate was put in Jail after
a fight with an American and then was
taken out and lynched, the authorities
afterwards refusing a request of the
Mexican consul that an investigation
be made.
In its representations the Mexican
embassy is understood to point out
that in the last few months, several
Mexicans have been killed in Texas
with Responsibility of completely oi
the authorities"
Finally, the embassy asks guarantees
for the safety not only Of the consular
but of other MeXicans in Texas.
The embassy's communication was
taken under consideration by the state
department and state officials of Tex
as probably will be asked for full infor
nation to form the basis Of whatever
reply may be formulated.
