Immediately. The scope Of the
banks activities will be enlarged in
the near future by the addition of a
commercial department.
"At directors meeting tomorrow,
Mr.. .Sandford will be named presi- :
dent of the re- organized Savings
Bank Of Pomona.
Is Splendid Banker
Mr.. Sanford, who is recognized
as one OF the most able and proges-
sive bankers in Southern California,
is a SON in law Of Mr.. Swan. He is
well known in Pomona, having taken
the last six months of his high school
course at the Pomona high school,
riding his bicycle every day on the
ties of the railroad track to and
from Chino, where his father was
preaching in the Baptist church
Unable at that time to get the sub
jects which he desired at the Chino
High school. Mr.. Sanford com
pleted his course in Pomona. His
father, the late Rev. e. T. Sandford
was well known in all that section
having. held pastorates. for many
years in Corona and Chino.
The Sandfords will remain in On :
tario until they can satisfactorily
dispose of. their interests there, but
Mr.. and Mrs. Sandford and their
six months old son, Ned, are plan
ming to make Pomona their nome in
the very near future.

the First National, but he will be a
director and probably vice president
Of the local bank. He is vice -presi-
dent Of the San Antonio Water com
pany and the Ontario Power com
pany and was formerly president OF
the Ontario Chamber of Commerce
The Savings Bank of Pomona has
at the present time resources OF
nearly S1,000,000, according to Mr.
Sandford who made a thoro inves
tigation before the deal was con
summated, is one of the soundest
financial institutions in Pomona
Valley.
"The transaction has been weeks
in the brewing and is another mile
stone in the progress of the city and
valley, because it is not merely a
change in ownership of a bank bui
it practically means a new bank 70,

PLANTINUM IS
FOUND IN
WYOMING

r ARAMIE. Wyo-Mining men
here are agog over the re-
cent discovery Of, platinum
ore near Centennial in an ancient
copper prospect at which Jacob
schnitzler, veteran prospectors has
been scratching away for many
years.
AS platinum is worth sis an
ounce, the search for gold has
well-nigh been forgotten by the
lean and patient mountain men
who have been searching for that
metal since Laramie was q tent
city on bison-dotted plains.
There Is much Of romance in
the reported discovery by Schnitz-
Ter. For more than thirty years
he has been prospecting In the
mountains behind Centennial and
had great hopes Of finding rich
copper veins in a prospect over
looking the middle fork Of the
Little Laramie. It was with this
hope that he sent a sample ore
to an assaying company at Den
YER, and it was with copper in
mind that tho assayer made his
tests.
Platinum, according to local
mining men, is practically un-
known outside the Ural noun
tains in Russia, If the old RAM
bier mine hear Encampment be
excepted, so the Denver assayer
was surprised when the first test
showed a native platinum content
OF $12 to the ton. He irnmedi-
ately realized that much plati-
mum must have been lost in thu
fire test-rlatinum occurring in
combination with arsenic-and q
second test, by water. bore him
out in this conclusion. The water
test showed that the platinum
content of small sample would
run $422 to the ton.
1t is this that the mining men
are buzzing about.
TITS the greatest find since
goldSwas discovered in California.
Besides platinum. the ore shows
borenite, coVelite, and calcopylite,
all rich in copper. but the plati-
mum is the big thing" say mining
men here.
Centennial is in the foothills Of
the Medicine Bow range, thirty
miles due west Of Laramie. It is
on the Colorado, Wyoming, and
Eastern railroad, and about
thirty-five years ago was a boom
town for a short space, following
the discovery of several rich
pockets OF pure gold. Since then
prospectors have lived and died
in these hills, hoping for another
pocket or q rich vein.

WORDS FROM

TIE wisely worldly. not worldly
Irollies are miscalled the crimes
Of fate.
II we had no faults we should
not take pleasure in noticing them

Life is half spent before one

Good words without deeds are

One deceit brings on another.
No government Is safe unless

There never was contentment In
