CONSOLIDATION OF SHERIDAN
BANKS GREATEST IN STATE

The largest banking transaction
in the state took place last week
when the Bank of Commerce of
Sheridan purchased outright the in
terests of the Sheridan County Saw
ings Bank and the Sheridan Bank
ing company.
The acquisition of the two banks
is by absolute purchase, and the
transaction makes evident the re
sources of the Bank of Commerce,
and places it as the largest state
bank in Wyoming and one of the
strongest banks in the northwest.
II is now the only state bank in
sheridan.
The Bank of Commerce was
opened in June, 1898, by B.. f. Per-
kins. who is now chairman of the
board of directors. At the time of
the founding of the bank Mr.. Per-
kins resigned as clerk of the dis
trict court TO open the institution
with a capital of $4,000.
The bank has had a very success

WYOMING'S GOVERNOR
PLEASE fasteners
Is Honor Guest at Chicago's Dis
tinguished Woman's Day of the
Women's World Fair

(From the New York Times)
The reclamation of thousands of
women greeted Mrs. Nellie Tayloe
Ross, Governor of Wyoming, as she
rose from her seat at the luncheon
that marked distinguished Women's
Day at the Women's World Fair to
make a short address.
The first women elected as chief
executive of an American common
wealth, she stood there. a slender
figure in a dark gown, and waiting
for the applause to die down. When
the hand clapping had subsidized and
the hundreds of other women had
settled back. Mrs. Ross gave her
short and simple message.
when l saw the Women's World
Fair, | was indeed proud that l am
a woman" she said. And when
1 look about me n see the achiev-
ments of my sisters l am deeply
grateful that | live in this day and
time.
While women of the past have
approached the borders of the
promised land. it has remained for
their daughters of the present to
realize their dreams.
81 can remember not so many
years ago when it was considered
almost scandalous for women to oc-
cupy positions outside their own
home"
And here Governor Ross, who
holds the highest political place a
woman has yet reached. made this
statement.
Il am myself old fashioned
enough to believe that the rea Ideal
of woman is in the home and in
motherhood. But for many this is
impossible. There are great things
to be done in the world that can
be done by women.
Then she went on to say:
"The woman is more successful
in the home who has varied inter
ests. With varied interests she
gives more pride to her husband
and more joy to her children.
Moreover, il woman is to be a
real factor in public affairs, she
should try to broaden her interests
to embrace all humanity. There
are man issues soutside the limits
of what is called welfare which re-
act upon women and children indi-
g.. rectly. New privileges have brought
responsibilities which are appalling.
Let it not be said that woman at
tanned her present privileges after
years of struggle, only to cast them
away"
II think it may not be too much

ledge of geology convinced me in
those days that there was a field
here for mining operations on
great scale such as / had seen at
Butte, Globe and Bisbee. In that
faith I have never wavered.
"Since that time there has been
some deep mining. The Duquesne
Company went down 800 feet.
and suspended operations because
their great ore bodies produced
too much zinc. That metal was a
detriment. 1t was penalized at all
the smelters. Cost of separation
had exceeded results. At the
very meeting mentioned by Chair
man Gustetter Dean Butler stat
ed that recent discoveries in me-
tallurgical research had made pos
sible separation of zinc at small
cost, making zinc in copper ores
an asset instead Of penalty.
That situation suggests a con-
clnsion that eventually operations
will be resumed at Duquesne, the
ore bodies developed to greater
depths, and that industry will be
in operation again. | will not

a conclusion that the real develop

into one immense holding, and
raise big capital to go into the
depths. But conditions were not
favorable. Prices Of metals were
low, large surpluses existed which

kept down prices. Money for in
vestment in new enterprises was
not to be had. Moreover, own
ers of the various groups were
not amenable to proposition for
consolidation.
"n December last / found con-
ditions were propitious: Surplus
stocks of metals were at a low
ebb; prices were advancing;
money for investment was easier
and tide of prosperity was ris-
ing, with money for investment
becoming abundant. And owners
of these various groups were viii
ing to join in consolidation. a
meeting of owners was called en-
January 14th, and all signed u,
putting their properties into a
pool, agreeing to take in exchange
shares in corporation to be
framed. March I'd, "The Kino
Copper Company" was given le-
gal existence. In due time deeds
were taken for properties, and dis
covery work was done on all the
claims. We sank 127 discovery
srafts eight feet deep, 4x6 later
lily. "The Kino Copper Com
pany" had relocated all the claims,
under new names, and thes dis
covery shafts were necessary un-
der the law. All these deeds and
location notices were duly record
ed and we have 2540, acres OF
good mining ground in one ada
cent and contiguous body, with
development work that had cost
no less than 100000, all under
ownership Of one corporation,
without having paid out zone dol
lar for property.
"The Nogales Chamber of
Commerce gave us in March last
a strong resolution Of endorse
ment guaranteeing the integrity

judiciously and effectively, so far
as it went. The top of an ore
body was reached at a depth, of
400 feet in one of the shafts
where I had recommended deep
working, But the money was ex-
hausted, and the fiscal agent was
serving a term in a federal pene-
tentiary for using the mails to
,defraud. There was no money to
be had, and operations suspend
ed. Had there been 1870 to 800
of the large sums realized put into
the ground, that ore body touched
might have been developed and
become a great asset.
'Now, that is just what the
guarantee by the Nogales Cham
Der of Commerce means, to-wit:
That "The Kino Copper Com
pany" will put into legitimate
work the moneys realized from
sales of shares; and that as the
Company is limited by the Per-
nit to sell shares to a selling ex-

Santa Cruz County has been alb
sorbed by promoters, and too lit
tie has come out here for legiti-
mate mining. / will cite on m
stance: Years ago I was employ
ed to make a report on mining
properties in the Santa Rita
Mountains. I gave a fair descrip-
tion of the ground, the work
done, ores found and geological
conditions. I ended by venturing
a conclusion that with deep work
there would be developed large
bodies of commercial ores.
"Some months later | visite
Columbus, Ohio, arriving there
Sunday morning. The entire first
page of morning papers were COW
cred with my report on those
mines, and engravings reproduced
from my own. But that was not
all Taking up the theme where
my conclusion had ended that
story went on to state that there
were several smelters ready to buy
ore from the ore bodies / had pre-
dicted with depth. The article
conveyed the idea that all that was
necessarily would be to take out
the ores, ship to smelters, and re-
ceive cash. A big dividend pay
ing investment was promised, right
off the reel. These smelters were
alleged located at Patagonia, Ben
son, Douglas, Ell Paso and Nogales.
The Patagonia smelter had been
blown in once, run a few days and
then shut down. A fire had never
been lighted in the Benson smell
ter. The smelter at Nogales had
been moved away years before.
The truth was told about Ell Paso
and Douglas. The next day a
swarm of canvassers was out in
Columbus soliciting sales of shares
and I was told they sold thousands
of shares in that city. The. follow
ing Sunday the same publication
appeared in Toledo newspapers
and that city was worked. That
method was operated in all large
cites in the East: Buffalo, Cleve-
land. Pittsburg, Detroit, Cincin-
natti, Indianapolis, ETC., and it
reaped rich harvests of subscribers
for shares.
"A week or two later I called
at the office of hat company in
Kansas City. The president took
me to an upper floor in ;he sanIe
building and made me acquainted
with the fiscal agent who was
handling the stock sales. That

families, the Red Cross today an
nounced an appropriate ton of $5, 900 to
the fund. The administrative expenses
of the work will be paid for by the
Red Cross, which will constitute a
further donation to the sufferers. Ad-

Like the clown, I have laughed
when my heart was heavy. 1 have al
ways kept a-smiling, amiable, inter
ested face, never matter what inner
burden may be mine. I have always
stood up game" ready. all there,
never putting my own feelings, my
own needs, first. So why should l be
ashamed.
No one was ever too small, too in
significant. Each man from prime
minister to beggar, could get a hear
ing. In sort of way l am the final
and supreme court to which big and
small can turn. When all hope is at
an end, l am still there, the queen.
the friend, the one who understands,
the one above jealousy, above competf-
ton, the one who has no reason to
climb, TO push others aside, the one
whose patience has no bounds. the
mother, the one who feels, loves, helps
and comprehends.
1 am also the one who can say
things to the king, who can bring
facts before him as they really are,
with no personal interest, no desire to
color them according to my taste. So
why should l be ashamed?
l do not think myself a whit better
than my maid. nor than the school
teacher, nor than the man working in
the factory, nor the peasant tilling his
field. But 1 do think that I am more
fitted to place of power than they
are. Generations have gone to the
making of me. Centuries, so to say.
have prepared me for my work-and
