SAN Francisco, Sept. 2l.-The date
for the opening of the Bank OF Califor-
mia seems still indefinite. 1t has been
variously stated that re-opening would
take place before the LIST of October, on
the 9th instant instead of the 4th
proximo. On inquiry at the Bank this
forenoon it was stated by an officer of
that institution aud also by prominent
gentleman of the directory, that no time
has yet been fixed for the re-opening,
and that at present it is impossible to do
so. 1t was, however, intimated that it
would take place about the LIST Of Octo-
Der. Numerous irresponsible statements
are made positively that the Bank would
open at the stated dates which have been
published for the last two or three weeks.
These have tended to produce feeling
of uneasiness as to when resumption
would really take place, the delay that
has occurred being considered by many
as indicative of uncertainty as to whether
the re-opening would bs effected at all.
Most positive assurances are. however,
given by the directors that all such con-
lectures are entirely unwarrantable, and
that resumption is fixed fact, but that
the precise time is contingent upon ar
rangement of details of the minor
moment.

sion of opinion that in whatever else the

horse stock includes twelve double teams,
thirty-eight single teams, and 134 horses

The San Fir ,ncisco Stock Exchange
says: One OF our Comstock mining en-
gineers, lately returned from tour OF
inspection through the mining districts
of Germany, says there is no engineer
ing in Germany to compare with that on
the Comstock lode, and no mines in
which the mechanical appliances are 80
ingenious and effective. He supports
this assertion by graphic description of
the crude and primitive methods in
vogue abroad. He remarks that in the
deep mines of Bohemia, the hosting
apparatus consists merely of open tubs,
and the operating machinery was 80
poorly constructed, that he dared not
venture to descend In most of the
German mines be found that men were
compelled to walk up or down to the
scene Of their labors, either by going
down an incline or by using long par
allel Sits, which move up and down al
ternately about SIX feet at time. The
mode of ascending and descending on
these, is to step from one to the other,
as each ascends or descends, where q
misstep would be attended with fatal
consequences. His remark that in the
Comstock, the men went to the lowest
levels, and came up in two minutes
without the slightest exertion. was re.
ceived politely but incredulously. The
character of the mining tools employed
is criticised in the same uncompliment
airy strain, and the assertion is mad,
that On average days work upon tn,
Comstock would seem incredible to the
miners Of Continental Europe.

site Cedar. We immediately repaired to

we're many surmises as to how the dis
covery was made and who were the men,
what the property holders in the vicinity
would do if it was worked, etc. Towards
noon the excitement died away, the peo-
pie left and quietness reigned. We be-
lieve the discoveries intend to commence
work on it to-day.
