Of hi. valuable time. But after the sale
he happened TO look Mt the statute which
fixed his fees. when he found to his
horror that ha had been tmnssressing
the laws Of tho State. which declared
that he should receive no other fees than
those legally assigned him. No he re-
fused the liberal sum offered him. aud
said that he would take nothing Int his
lawful fees. which in this instance, It
seems amounted to 1000. The rail-

AN ENORMOUS EsTIMATE.-B. F. Sher-
wood. n of the leading brokers of San
Francisco, and in early years a resident
Of Virginia City, visited the Consolidated
Virginia and California mines about ten
days ago. . Although a man Of great ex-
perience in mining matters, and one who
keeps always well posted, Mr. Sherwood
was greatly astonished to find the size
and richness Of the ore depositfa greater
than he had previously supposed from
the descriptions given. He estimates
that the yield from those two mines will
not be less than $500, 900, 600. Incredi-
BILE as this may appear. says the Virginia
Chronicle, it must be remembered that as
far back as last November or December.
William Sharon estimated the value Of
the bonanza to be $500, 600, 900 from the
~l,5OO-foot level upward. Now the deyel-
opments below thatlevel have proved the
continuance of the ledge in depth and
richness, Mr.. Sherwood's estimate is not
so extravagant as MI. Sharon's was at
the time it was made.

BRIEF MENTION.

A report says the Directors of the Bank
of California think, upon a brief exam
i~nation, that the Bank assets will pay
eighty cents on the dollar. Some start
ling developments are promised.
The failure of the Bank of California
produced no excitement in London, and
it is to be hoped the letters of credit of
travellers in Europe may be protected.
During the last twelve years the stock
holders Of the Bank of California have
received dividends to the extent of two
hundred and seventy-fve per cent.
Colonel Longstreet, of the suspended
firm of Longstreet i Benson. of SYRIA
cuse, New York, has committed suicide.
Corning Il Co., of New York, n of
the largest manufacturing firms in the
United States, have suspended.
1t is believed the Western Union and
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Compa-
MES are about to consolidate.
Some severe comments of Eastern pa
pers in regard to the great San Francisco
failure are ~telegraphed.
The banks of Los Angeles, California,
all suspended. 1t is believed that they
will resume again.

The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1875-09-04

We condense the following from our ex-
changes in regard to this great and good man;
William Chapman Ralston, whose untimely
taking off is already familiar to our readers, was
nearly 80 years of age and a native OF Illinois.
Mr.. Ralston was very hopeful that he would
be able to weather the storm. In order to sustain
the bank, of which he was the executive head,
and to carry out his ardent desires, he sacrificed
all his valuable property. Only ten or fifteen
days ago he sold his interest in the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad for s7OO, 900, which is estima-
ted to be worth 81, 500, 900. On who knows
whereof he speaks, and who was intimate with
Mr.. Ralston, informed an Alta reporter that he
had left his home on Friday morning homeless
and penniless, and said to his friend: II cannot
afford to live in this house any longer; I can
live. if necessary, on 800 a month"
About 9 o'clock on the evening after the bank
closed, Mr.. Ralston assembled all the clerks
and attaches of the Bank of California, and
said boys, Ihare been bounded to my death, but
the stories you hear of me are not true. ! am
sorry for you all, and shall always be q friend to
one and all of you. Goodbye"
At an interview at his residence last Friday
night, Mr.. Ralston followed a reporter into the
hall, as he was leaving, and said A a matter
of personal and private information, I tell you
that this failure is the result of persistent
efforts for months to break this bank"
His funeral, on Monday last. was the most
imposing demonstration Of the kind ever wit
messed in that city. One account stimate the
gathering around the church alone at 2 $1,000, and
this Lumber was largely augmented at the GEM
etery.
San Francisco was more deeply moved at the
news of the death of Mr.. Ralston than ever be-
fore. The feeling was that of intense sorrow.
On Friday Mr.. Ralston transferred all his
property to Mr.. Sharon for the benefit of his
creditors, and Sharon pledged his honor to stand
by his old friend to the last dollar of his private
fortune.
The Sacramento Record Union in an editorial
In last Thursdays paper, speaking of a matter
having reference to the crash, says of him:
Mr.. Ralston has the misfortune of being
known as one of the most enterprising men on
the Pacific coast. He has done a great deal
to build up San Francisco, and has, directly or
Indirectly, caused more capital to be accumu-
lated and invested there than perhaps any other
man in the community.
1t will be many a long day before San Fran
CISCO will possess another such man as William
c. Ralston.

ALL QUIET IN PIocHE.-After the in
tense excitement manifested in Phoebe
on Thursday night, when the Jews of the
suspension of the Bank Of California
reached here, says the Record, it was a
relief to find that by Friday morning it
had vanished and the usual run Of affairs
were assuming the aspect which had pre-
vailed in Phoebe for some time back. The
many frightened depositors doing bust
ness with the State Bank, who had has
tily drawn their money out on Thursday,
returned it again on Friday, and the bust
ness of the bank progressed as if they
had not passed through one of those
phases of human nature called a panic;
business was generally dull throughout
the day. and though no one in Phoebe
seems to have lost by the Bank Of Cali
fornia, still almost all will feel the effects
in Phoebe in a greater or less degree.

FATAL BLUNDER.-A very curious case
has been discovered at the Treasury De-
partment by the examination of some old
accounts. A few days ago an officer of
the War Department received notice
from the Treasury that there was a bal
ance of 81, 900 in his favor on an old &C
count. The officer knew no such amount
was due him, and caused an examination
of the origin of the account to be made.
The discovery was then made that by an
error in the accounting many years ago,
this amount had been deducted from the
account of an officer in another depart
ment, where it properly belonged, and
credited to this officer in the War Depart
ment. This discovery explains a very
lamentable suicide which occurred about
the time the original error was made.
The officer from whose account this sum
hadbeen wrongfully deducted was charged
with'a defalcation of that amount. He
was not able to prove his innocence, and
took his own life. The accounts are
said to show clearly that the suicide is
due to the error of some clerk in the war
days.

AN INCIDENT.

The following has been handed into this office,
says the Virginia Enterprise, with a request that
it be published
A few years since a resident of this city. then
passing a few days in San Francisco, was &C.
costed by . lady who handed him her card, and
requested him to call. Arrived at her rooms,
with proper apologies and with a f~altering voice,
through tears, she spoke in effect as follows
"Mr. c., first led on by some Of the most
descended to almost the lowest ways a woman
may walk. Though you may not know me, !
know you, and / feel sure I may speak as 1 do.
I have come t, myself. Nature and the WON IN
within me revolt. I was born for better things.
Many of my class at first feel as I do now, but
making no effort to escape, this better sense
passes away and they are lost. / am resolved
that l will not be without an effort. 1 have
written to my friends and told them all. NV
brother has nswere as a brother ought; but
he has not the means to help me home. Yet, he
says if I can borrow it and get there, the past
shall be forgotten, and / shall live a new life,
Can you not help me? Can you not send me to
W." oAh AA VIC otScIdRe! Ii you can, L know
you will. II you cannot yourself, do you not
see how I can be helped2 On his dying day
God will note it to his credit who puts forth a
helping hand to me this hour Be sure of that.
"Can you not help yourself? Among all your
friends of the past. are there none who will now
lend you a helping hand
Eyes, there are. lean help myself, but only
in one way. But rather than any more of that,
I choose to die. Oh. do, do something for me
say you will, and you will save a frenzied wo-
man from a fatal act"
my child, I'll try" was the reply. Mr.. c.,
then in special straits himself, went direct to a
bankers Office. A throng was there. He got his
turn and the cashiers ear. He stated his case.
and asked influence with the Steamship Conn.,
pany to get a low-priced passage.
"Ill go with you at once" said the cashier.
Together they called at the office of the Pacific
Mail. A first-cabin was accorded for second
cabin rates. TIL price was only 500. 'Charge
it to me-" said the cashier. "But I 20 my
share" said G. mot in such a case, when you
are poor, and am rich, and the price SO near to
nothing. I am your debtor for the chance to
help . woman who wants to retrieve q sad past
and live a better life."
That cashiers name was W. C. Ralston.
