BANK OF

A telegram. dated San Francisco, Sep
tember l, has the following in regard to
the affairs of the Bank Of California:
The Chronicle this morning publishes .
positive statement TO the effect that the
bank has reliable assets of fourteen mil
lions Of dollars and nominal assets of
twenty millions /; that their Indebtedness
is thirteen millions. Coin in the vaults,
eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and guaranty funds of from five to ten
millions are nearly all pledged, and that
resumption is assured Immediately. Sim
liar statements are being spread abroad,
but all such assurances are premature, ac-
cording to information from headquar-
tiers.
An interview just had with the Direc-
tors of the Bank of California establishes
the previous report that nothing new has
transpired in the affairs Of the bank.
The positive statements made as to re-
sumption are unauthorized. In reply to
q question we received the answer "We
are trying to fix up this organization, but
don't know whether we will succeed OF
not" As to the condition of the bank
they answered that the nominal assets
were about 500, 900, 900 and liabilities
about $14, 0OO, 900. They think the relia-
BILE assets will pay the debts.
The Merchants Exchange Bank will be
open tomorrow morning. The Presi.
dent states personally that a sufficient
amount of coin has been collected in the
regular way of business to enable the
bank to meet all demands. Notification
of resumption will appear in the evening
papers. There seems to be a loosenine
in the money market, with returning
confidence.

THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

We copy the following from the Vir-
ginia Enterprise Of the 29th ultimo, be-
lieving that it is good authority for the
subioined statement: "In . season OF
great financial calamity like the one
through which we are now passing, men
do not always stop to reason; and In
weighing their own m~isfortunes. they are
apt to regard the acts of others without
charity and to condemn them without
justice. When the failure of the Bank
Of California was first announced, the
suspension was pronounced the work of
Messrs, Flood, O'Brien and their bust
ness associates. Dispatches charged
them with locking up millions of dollars.
depressing the stock market, and finally
with precipitating the failure by drawing
large sums from the bank and closing
every avenue of assistance. 1t is now
ascertained that these stories had no
foundation in fact; that Flood &O'Brien
did not make large drafts upon the bank,
as reported; that no money was locked
up by them beyond the necessities of
business; and that, instead of promot-
ing the disasters of the past week, they
sought to sustain the stock market, and
would have rendered assistance to the
bank had they been able to save it with
out sacrificing themselves. These are
the declarations of Mr.. Flood, and they
are corroborated by the admissions Of
Mr.. Ralston just before his death. The
comments of the Eastern journals throw
much light upon the cause of the failure.
It seems that for months the solvency of
the bank had been suspected in the money
centers oil the East. 1t was known that
its funds had been largely invested in
undertakings Of doubtful merit, and that
in aiding the industries of the coast Mr..
Ralston. with an enterprise more gener-
Gus than discreet, had placed the bank
under dangerous obligations to its depos-
itors. The crash came, and we all know
the rest. The Directors Of the bank do
not lay the responsibility of the failure
upon Messrs. Flood & O'Brien. and it is
but just that the public should be ap-
prised of the fact"

EBERHARDT AND AURORA SILVER
MINING COMPANY LIMITED.

London Money Of August 4th has the
following to say in regard to one Of our
local mining companies: During the
present month many shares have changed
hands. showing a further progress in the
advance which we have f~oreshadowed for
months past. We have to congratulate
those of our readers who adopted our adj
vice and purchased these shares at about
"a, and we add that the shares deserve
attention at the present price of 98 los.
We give as our reasons that the properties
are being developed in q true mine-like
manner, and every economy. compatible
with efficiency. is being exercised by the
present manager. We stated in our last
that the forthcoming accounts will be
much more satisfactory than generally
anticipated. The ore is improving in
grade, and a more careful selection is now
being made before shipment to the mill,
by which the working costs are materially
reduced, and the net profits proportion
ately increased. Since then the accounts
for the first six months of the year have
been received, and the net result is very
much more satisfactory than the most
sanguine had anticipated. We believe
we are correct in stating that the aetu al
available cash in hand at the present
time amounts to between EGO, 600 and
G25, 900; but this cannot at present be
divided among the shareholders until the
debenture debt has been l~iquidated. The
present profits are between G7, 900 and
$4,000. whichis q very substantial return
upon the capital; the grade of the ore is
fully maintained at between 60 and 70
dollars per ton, while the aggregate out
lay, including every item, does not ex-
coed 26 dollars per ton. Our readers
will do us the justice to admit that we
had the best possible grounds for all we
have stated with reference to the increas-
ing value of this property. and its improv-
i@g financial prospects. We still point to
these shares as deserving immediate at
t~ention, rs they will most certainly COM
mand at least their par value (G10) dur
ing the current running season.

THROUGH TO THE SUMMIT.-The Sentinel

gence: The Narrow-G Gauge will be COM

passengers will be conveyed by railroad
from that point; for the present, remain
ing over night at Alpha and going on in

gers of IA miles of stage travel over the

CHICAGO VIEW OF THE FAILURE.

The Chicago Times of August 2Sth,
commenting on the suspension of the
Bank of California. says: The suspen-
of the Bank of California is a godsend
to the roaring William Allen and William
Kelly, the shinplaster-swindle lunatics,
It was a hard-money establishment, do
ing business or a gold basis, and it will
serve the purposes of the bottomless
shinplaster d~elusionists all the same
whether the pretense vas true or false.
The Bank of California, though preten-
tiously a clearinghouse based on hard
pan, was one Of the most tremendously
inflated gambling shops that ever existed
in America. The owners and managers
of it were reckless. and generally lucky,
spectators, but not bankers. They were
men of much "spread" and big dia-
mond shirt-pins !; men-like Jay Cooke
who squandered millions in building
grand Oriental palaces and preposterously
big hotels, who lavished on equipages and
entertainments and gilded splurges the
revenues of Eastern princes |; who stood
ready to put money in unlimited amounts
into any and every damphool speculation
that advertised a brilliant pyrotechnic
programme. AS a single instance of the
reckless readiness of the head of that
concern to squander money may, be men,
toned his purchase at a big price in hard
money, Of a watch factory formerly stu
ated near this city, which the owners had
found to be SO large an elephant that no
body could be persuaded to take it off
their hands. The Bank of California
was the grandest. brightest, shiniest,
goldenest, most p%retentious, inflated hol-
low and unsubstantial representation of
false principles even of shinplaster
principles lin banking that perhaps ever
existed in this country. 1t is utterly false
to say that it was conducted on a gold
basis, for it was conducted on a gambling
basis. and was managed upon the same
theory.

SUsPENDED.-The banking house Of M.
P. Freeman. at Elko. was compelled to
close through the failure Of the Bank of
California. MI. Freeman announces,
however, that the suspension will be but
temporary, as the institution is perfectly
solvent. A few days, he thinks, will suf-
flee for him to straighten affairs and form
new connections below.
