Assistant Super intendent Hickey left yesterday for Mina to look over the strike situa tion, which has not affected the Southern Pacific shops. The Tono pah and Goldfield company is, how ever, using the Mina shops for re pair work since its own shops were burned, and this makes the situa tion rather delicate, as there Is a possibility of the Southern Pacific shop men declining to handle the motive power brought in by the strike breakers.

HX1) FREE QUARTZ ON ROOTH LEASE Four feet of the best looking Quartz yet encountered in the Booth Leasing company's workings has besn opened during the last few days in a raise fromv the 150-foot level near the Red Top line. It .is the typical dark gray quartz that usually leads to ore in this district and is very promising as a forerun ner for a pay shoot. Assays now show from $4 to $6, which is en couraging, considering that the quartz zone is just being entered. If pay values are not found in the raise more depth will be secured by sinking, to further prospect the quartz. , Following the death of State Bank Examiner Van Fleet there has been a lively scrimmage for the posses sion of the Eureka county bank and its assets. Van Fleet had appointed Charles Gorman as custodian. Upon the death of Van Fleet the county commissioners and Judge Breen im mediately got busy , It appears from the telegrams that as soon as the state bank examiner died Judge Breen advised the county commis sioners what could be done and they took the matter in their own hands and have virtually thrown the cus todian out of possession. They, with the sheriff, held a meeting Monday evening and by resolution passed de clared the bank in their own hands. The next morning they took the bank over and now the custodian and the governor and the district attorney general are busy at the supreme court getting out an in junction, restraining orders and any old writ that will sustain the state in the law and place the bank in their hands.
