EFFECTS OF THE FAILURE OF
THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA
IN NEVADA.

The failure of the Bank of Calffor-
mia, whereby considerable of our
funds are locked up for the time
being, together with the unprece-
dented panic and stringency in the
money market, making it absolutely
impossible to obtain money on any
known security, has compelled us to
temporarily close our doors. While
regretting this necessity, we give our
positive assurance that should our
credit at the Bank of California
prove a total loss Gan impossible con-
tingency), we have means largely in
excess of all liabilities. l will wait
here to take advantage of the first OPP
portunity to arrange and resume,
which will be in few days.
NJ. P. FREEMAN.
CLOSED DOwN.-Warren Hit came
down from Mineral Hill last night,
and from him we learn that in conse-
quence of the failure Of the Bank of
California the Mineral Hill Mines
Company discharged their employees
and closed down their works. for the
present. The presumption is that
through the late failure they have also
become seriously embarrassed. 1t is
also probable that numbers of the
citizens in that camp are sufferers,
from the fact that they were dealing
to certain extent in stocks, and con-
sequently kept most of their money
in San Francisco" Independent"
Saturday.
No Run. = There has been no
symptoms of a run on the Bank of
Paxton & Curtis, of this city. De-
positors have every confidence in the
soundness of the bank, and in gene
raj have shown disposition to assist
rather than hamper it in the present
crisis.
Nor FELT.-The effect of the sus-
pension of the Bank of California
has not been seriously felt in this
city. 1t has, of course, created a
good deal of comment and is an alb
sorbing topic, but no alarm is felt
and there is no securing" to speak
of.-[Austin Reveille."
A SMALL RUN.-Somcthing of a
crowd having assembled, small run
was made on the Bank Of Paxton s.
Co. yesterday morning, It was of
short duration, however, Mr.. Muller
smilingly and promptly meeting all
demands against the concern as fast
as they were presented. Depositors
who had felt little nervous, seeing
that everything was all right, in
many cases returned their money to
the vaults of the bank and departed
happy and content. After the first
squirt in the morning, lasting but a
very short time, the usual routine of
the business of the bank obtained
and everything went along quietly
and smoothly during the remainder
of the day. There is no question
about it that both our local banks are
on'a sound basis and abundantly able
to meet every dollar of their out
standing obligations.
D. B. Immel g. Co., our other local
banking firm, have their San Fran
cisco connections with other banks
than the California, and of course
are in no sense affected by the failure.
Therefore, after careful investiga-
ton Of the situation, we feel entirely
justified in saying to the people of
this community that there is no ne
cessity whatever for alarm.-[Eureka

Found DEAD.-Charles II. Becker,
who was driving the water wagon for
the Paymaster mine in Ward District,
was found dead on the wagon on the
18th instant. 1t is supposed he died
in fit. He was but little known in
Ward District, and on the day of his
death Deputy Assessor Comins had
ascertained his name, age and ma
tivity, for his census returns; but for
this fortunate circumstance little
would have been known about the I'M
fortunate man. This is the first
death that is known to have occurred
in Ward District. = White Pine

No DANGER.-When the news OF
the suspension of the Bank OF CAN
fornia was received here yesterday,
fears were expressed that the calam-
ity would retard the completion oil
the railroad to this place. Such fears
we are confident are without founda-
ton. The rails have all been pur-
chased and paid for and have been
shipped for Palisade. The ties have
been contracted for, and the heaviest
portion of the grading completed.
The outlay of money necessary for
the completion of the road is trifiing
compared with the expense already
incurred, and the work will doubt
less go on as though nothing had
happened.-Eureka Sentinel

The Womans Temperance Union

The Woman's Temperance Union
held its monthly meeting in the vesiry of
the Methodist church, on the Odd. The
president Mrs. kitchel being absent, the
vice president, Mrs. S;urtevant presided.
A goodly number Of ladies were present,
and a great deal Of interest was manifest.
ed Various reports were given by
committees appointed at the last meeting.
The visiting committee reported that they
called upon Mr.. Julius Scofed, the pro.
prietor Of the rum department at the AID.
olson House, who stated that he sold
Nenly to people of the adjoining towns and
travellers that he did not sell it to Mid.
dlebury people. He promised that a re.
quest from any member Of the society
not TO sell TO certain friends or individuals
would be strictly complied with. The
ladies who visited the saloons reported
that they found one man who confessed
that he sold liquor the rest Of them
were more or less innocent. One of them
referred them to the authorities in Wash.
ington-they thought strongly Of going
- he also argued that if the farmers were
allowed to sell cider by the barrel, he
ought to have the privilege Of selling it
by the glass. The ladies' are happy to re-.
port that two drug stores, who have been
in dispute we're entirely innocent They
found one place where they were out Of
supplies 1t is suggested that tho ladies
give them benefit a Ia Addison House
"a temperance dinner for instance. The
committee that waited upon the town
agent, DIR. Rowley, reported that the
doctor stated that he was thoroughly a
temperance man, and was faithfully dis.
charging his duties. Mr. Crane, the
County Commissioner, had placed him
under no restriction Vhateper, and that
the commissioner said he was doing juyt
right. In the opinion of the committee,
it DIR. Rowley was acting conseientiously,
and the good fathers Of the town very
conscientiously, still, it would be bless
ing if there were no such resort for the
inv lids of this town. They did not ex.
anime the records, as the agent admitted
that he cold the same as he had done.
This closed the routine business, after
which remarks were made by various
members Of the Union. The exercises
were closed by an appropriate temperance
song by Miss Upper, which was received
with the utmost enthusiasm.

CoLLEGE.--A slight rebellion against the

class reaching climax in personal inso.
lence to the members Of the faculty, led
to the suspension Of the rebellious sophie.
more, on Thursday. The class assumed
his guilt by refusing to 60 to their duties
until he was restored,a and were themselves
suspended. Another matter, perhaps
growing out of this condition of things,
but of which no official coguizance has
been taken, was the stealing of the COL
lege bell on Thursday night. 1t was re.
moved to ledge where stone had been
quarried about 100 rods west of the COL
lege and there dumped without injury.
Friday night it was taken back and on
Saturday replaced il its old position in
the belfry and again made to do service
in calling the students to their duties,
This last affair had no recognized inAu.

ministered.
