THE SIERRA NEVADA CRASH.
Some Rich CalifOrDians who Lose MIL
lions by the Late Fall In Mining stocks,
IBoston Commercial Bulletin. ]

SAN FRASCIsCo, Dec II cannot begin To
give an idea Of the extent u the disaster
wrought by this smash in values, but 1t has
caught some Of our heaviest capitalists. Men
who two months ago could boast Of being
milionaires are to-day cramped for money to
pay living expenses. Among the heaviest
losers is Skae himself. Skae had 2jOO6 shares
Of the stock pledged for a loan Of 100000. By
the grace Of the Nevada Bank he still holds
it, but the 5 900, 900 or more Of profit that was
on it has all been swept away, together with
the S89O009 borrowed and the profit Of 10000
shares sold two months ago at high figures
Skae is not so rich to-day by s3,600,000 as he
was on the first Of November.
The next heavy losers are two or three
heavy Jewish houses. They began to sell at
the break at from $50 down. When the
stock reached $50 they all said it was a mag
nificent time to get their stock back, and they
bought more than they had in the first place.
The result was another tumble Of fifty Der
cent, and the Jews were sold out one by one.
Some We're ruined; others have come out with
losses Of from $4,000 to 100000
Another very heavy loser is Archie Borland,
a rough lri5hman, but good miner. Bor-
land made a million or 50 in the grea. Bonanza
rise, and has been adding to it ever since But
the crash caught him loaded with Sierra Ne
yada. He has his stock yet. but he puts his
losses by shrinkage at fully half million.
