SIERRA FLUME AND LUMBER Com
PAEY.-A San Francisco dispatch Of July
9th says: 1.-THE Trustees of the Sierra
Fiume and Lumber Company held a
meeting in this city to-day, and resolved
10 put the business of the company in the
hands Of assignees for the benefit of eredi-
tors. J. S. Cone, Of Red Bluff, and Peter
Dean and Joseph D. Forrest, of San
Francisco, were chosen assignees. The
stock of the company is mostly held by
Aivinza Hayward. The immediate cause
of the suspension is an attachment levied
on one of the mills of the company, OF
which there are nine. The attachment is
not for large amount, but Hayward pre-
ferred to make an assignment rather than
remove the attachment, and wind up the
affairs efthe company. The current in
debtedness of the company in this city is
given at about $52, 900, and in other quart
ers aggregating about 50, 100000. The as
sets are said to be from 100000 to So,
200 900. Most of the indebtedness is to
various banks, secured by mortgage on
the property of the company. The Trus-
tees are of the opinion that the company
will be broken up and the works carried
on by several mining companies. They
express the belief that all the Indebtedness
will be discharged in a short time"
