“LOCAL PANNINGS.”
... Dr. S. Trask, of San Francisco, has been in the district a few days, looking over mines, and reports that he is highly pleased. While here he secured many fine specimens which he will exhibit on the coast. Dr. Trask attended the first annual meeting of the Nevada State Medical society at Reno the 9^th and 10^th inst., at which meeting the so-called “Black Heart” or malignant pneumonia was informally discussed. The doctor believes that the Nevada plateau is the healthiest section for its size on the earth. This far south, however, he recommends operating mines and traveling during the summer mostly at night. At Reno he found three cases of pneumonia, at Hawthorne two cases, at Tonopah one case and none at Rhyolite. The disease will prevail again, he says, attacking the careless, the drinker, the overworked, and those of vicious habits and lowered vitality most fatally, especially during the months of March and April.

“WILL PAY FIFTY PERCENT.”
Earl Rogers, an attorney of Los Angeles, is in Goldfield as a representative of J.R. Boal, former cashier of the Goldfield Bank and Trust Company, lately collapsed. Mr. Rogers deposited with the receiver of the defunct institution the sum of $20,000 in cash is advanced by relatives and friends of the ex-cashier for the purpose of paying a part of the deficit. No condition whatever is attached to the settlement, his friends taking the position that he was no responsible other than in a strict legal sense. E.A. Doran and J.C. McCormack will act as a committee to assist in the settlement of the bank's accounts. This sum of money, in addition to $12,000 raised by the receiver, coupled with the other assets of the bank, will mean that a 50 per cent dividend will likely be declared to the creditors. Boal is now in jail at Hawthorne.
