Ithe precious metals last wear was greater
! thaas that Of all the Territories combined,
and that 1t lacked some thing over SO 600, 600
OF equaliiug The com bfned bullion product
OF the entire number Of States and Terrific
ries west of the Missouri river. If the yield
OF tho Nevada mines during the first half of
the present year Is any indication of this
years production, there will be more than
$50 600, GOO as against the $50 ,452 ,233 of
| 1874. The shipments of ore from the Con.
! solidated Virginia mine for the first six
months Of the year have been over SIS, 800.
600 as against less than 81, 600, 900 of the en-
| tire year of 1874.
Mr.. Flood and Mr.. Fair both say they ex-
pect to ship S4,000.000 of bullion a month
| when they get fairly started. While this
seems an extravaganza estimate. it would not
be more remarkable than the discoveries
already. Indeed, il is held by experts,
am6..g them Dr.. Linderman, director: eene"
raj Of the nl'ft. who went into the mine a.
the same time did, that there are from ten TO
fifteen millions Of dollars Of ore In sight. DR..
Rogers, Of the University Of Pennsylvania,
an experienced mineralogist, said the ore
seemed practically ineXhaustible, and from
toe manner in which it lay be thought there
was no doubt there were "mllons in it,"
General LIE Grange, superintendent of the"
San Francisco mint, is OF the same opinion.
MARKET VALUE OF SILVER.
DR.. Linderman remarked, after coming
out, that he had never seen so much money
In his whole life, and never expected to see
so much again. He will embody the result
of his examination in an official report TO
Congress, and for this purpose ne took sam
piles of ore from every portion Of the mines,
and he will have them assayed at the Carson
mint. DR.. Rogers will embody the result
Of his examination in a report also. DR..
Linderrnan thinks the Nevada mines will
have a great deal to do With the return TO |
specie-pay ments. He sees no reason why |
silver should not be in general circulation |
now instead Of small notes and fractional |
currency, as the low price of silver in the
London market makes greenback dollar by |
the quotation worth the more by one or Two |

EFFECT OF TIE FAILURE or THE BANK or CALI
FoRNIA-AssETs AND LIABILITIES, &c.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 27-Kidnioht.-
1t is difficult to state the effect Of Ralston'
1.-THE president of the Bank of California
failure upon his manufacturing enterprises
1t is feared the Kimball Manufacturing Com.
pany will be unable to stand the shock. The
rolling mills are in better condition, The
Cornell watch factory will be seriously
crippled. The effect on mining stocks can.
not be estimated. All the business in that
line is suspended.
Raston is quoted as saying :"I tell you, this
failure is the result of persistent effort for
months to break this bank"
Later.-The directors applied to Flood &
U'Drien on the day of the failure for relief,
| Offering that firm the entire paid.up stock
of TIE bank (s5,o00,O0O); also, $780,.
600 in the bank, and an additional
million to be assessed on the stockholders
in all, $500, 000-proTlded Flood d O'Brien
would assume the liabilities of the bank.
The proposition was rejected, and the bank
was compelled to suspend. There is DO
doubt the liabilities of the bank will amount
to S14,000,000, and the assets are s. ,O0O,00O
which will probably shrink before realized.
The true condition OF the bank was con.
cealed from the directors till Thursday. A
| full meeting of the directors was held yes.
! terday, at which Ralston was asked TO resign,
and be did So He was then ordered to
leave the room. The Board was still in ses-
sion when the drowning of RaSton was an.
nounced.
The stockholders will lose the stock ; and
to meet the liabilities to n0te-holders will be
compelled TO stand an assessment Of fifty per
cent.
TIE DEATH OF PRESIDENT RALsToN-THE TEE
DRY OF SUICIDE DESTROYED, &C.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 2S.-Later infor-
nation tends strongly to disproVe the theory
OF suicide on the part Of President Raston,
and the statements Of the attending pbysi-
clans 20 to show that his death resulted from
spop!eXy while bathing yesterday.
Mr.. Ralston transferred all his property to
Senator William 2. Sharon for the benefit
Of bis creditors, and Mr.. Sharon in reeeiT-
ing the trust pledged his honor to stand by
his old friend to the last dollar Of his own
private fortune.
The affairs OF the Bank of California have
been put into the hands Of an executive
committee consisting OF Messrs. William AL
word and George p. Howard.
The Latest.
SAN Francisco, August 2S.-The coro-
ner'S inquest has commenced on the body of
President Raston. The Bank Of California
is dressed in mourning
Everything is quiet in California street,
and matters are assuming the usual aspect.
The rumors relative TO the popular feeling
and demonstrations against the Bulleiin and
the Call, because they had steadily opposed
Ralston's policy in political affairs, were idle
utterances OF excited individuals, and iuccn-
diary efforts on the part of some persons,
personally and politically, hostile to those
journals, to create emnity against them. The
attempts fell still.born.

The Big Bonanza-Fhe Nevada Silver
Mines.

4 GREAT PRODUCT THE PRESENT YEAR.
TCorrrS pondcncc Of the New York Tribunc.1
VIRGINIA CITY, NEv., July 3l.-The mines
In tins city are so marvellous in extent ana
operation that l should hesitate 10 give the
facts in relation to them were they not certi-
fed by proofs so convincing that doubt is
impossible.
There were shipped from the Consolidated
Virginia mine about . 600 bars Of gold and
silver, unScparated or about S7,000,000.
previous TO the beginning OF the present cal
endcr year.
The following, which ! copied from the
books OF the company, and verified by bills,
receipts, &C., shows the amount Of the buSi-
ness Since that time During the month Of
January, 1873, there were shipped Sl,l00,-
697 in February, S1,2OO.743; in March,
81. 707 81; III April, S1,5O965I; in May,
q .52l, III and in June, 81 ,303,ol6. From
SIS 900 900 to so, 100000 year, to be taken
out of a single mine, is something worthy OF
remark. In conversation with Mr. Craw-
ford, superintendent of the mint at Carson
CITY. who was at the mine at the same time l
WAS | was informed that short time ago
he had . contract with the Consolidated Vlr-
ginia to furnish the mint, for coinage pur-
noses. bullion TO the amount of 100000.
:. Il was delivered in just twenty-one days."
said Mr.. Crawford, "and have reason to be-
Iicvp that it was nearly all produced from
the mines during that time" The contract
was made In very good time for the CON-
pany.
The machinery in one mill cost quarter
of million Of dollars, and one engine In the
Savage mine cost $4,000. In the Consoli-
dated Virginia mine alone 1,OOO,0OO feet OF
lumber are used every month Tor Dulkneaus,
and 10000 cords OF wood are burned 10 one
year in the several mills ana mines DelonS-
ing to Mackay, Fair Il Co. They have be-
tween :, 200 and 1000 men employed ut an
average price Of four dollars per day. Inc
psy-roll of one mine, which l saw myself, Tor
! the month of June amounted 10 ABOUT
$4,000. The firm pays 100000 quarter,
| or 1000 Il year, rs tax ON the production
| of bullion for ore mine. The discount ana
| express charges on bullion to san francisco
| cost the company about $4,000 month.
| Tue assay department, spoken oil above, Is
| able to melt, bar, assay, and stamp SlOO,O0O
day in gold and silver bars in combna-
tiou-tbe gold being about % per cent.
The weight OF the bars is from 80 to ITO
pounds.

those OF other States and Territories. 1t is
based on actual shipments, aud may &c re
