THE OPINION or A DIRECTOR.
Bank Commissioners After the Odd
Fellows Bank.

SAN FRANc1sco, February 1.
A Virginia City dispatch says: This
morning Judge Rising gave the Savage
Company IN injunction restraining Mr..
Sutro from building a bulkhead in the
tunnel, or in any way preventing the water
from flowing through it. The Savage Com
pany gave bonds Of S20,0 900 to indemnify
Mr.. Sutro for any damage resulting from
water entering the tunnel. Pumping Will
| begin at once, and the water Will be sent
/ into the tunnel. Mr.. Sutro has a body OF
armed men in readiness at the connection
| between the tunnel and the Combination
shaft. The Savage Company does not in
tend to employ fighters, as they are CONT
| dent they can dispense q regiment by the
iudicious use of pumps and hot water.
The Post" this evening publishes an in
| terview with John NJ. Coleman, one of the
| Directors of the Savage mine. regarding
| the embroglio between the mines and Mr..
Sutro. Mr.. Coleman states that II Mr..
| Sutro refuses to recognize his contract with
| the Savage Company, to take off the water
from the mine on payment of the royalty
of 50 per ton on ores, and othar rates on
supplies, etc., handled through the tunnel,
the Savage Company will Immediately take
action against him. In reply to a question
as to what the Savage Company will do
with regard to getting rid Of the water,
Mr.. Coleman said that the Combination
shaft will soon be ready to send the water
into the tunnel, and If Mr.. Sutro impedes
its flow by means of q dam or bulkhead,
we shall take action accordingly. There
is a clause in our contract with him which
explicitly states that mining companies
shall be allowed to remove whatever OBJ
structions there may be in the tunnel. We
may take advantage of this, or we may
begin suit. If we are prevented from
sending Il water through the tunnel we
shall do the best we can to remove it in
another nner We shall send as much
of it TO the combination shaft, through the
lightning drifts, as we can, there to be
taken to the surface in skeets or bailing
tanks, and the balance we shall pump in
our usual way to the surface. AT any rate,
we shall make a determined effort to lower
the water to our 2,200 level. This accom-
plisAed, we shall build a strong bulkhead
at the mouth of the drift through which
the water comes. If we can eficctually stay
the flood in this manner prospecting oper-
atoms in the lower levels will be resumed,
and we shall cautiously feel our way around
with diamond drills to guard against an
overflow in the future.
The Bank Commissioner having made q
final demand upon the Board of Directors
of the Odd Fellows Bank, that they re-
scind action in passing the semi-annual
dividend, received an answer from the
President stating that the meeting of the
Roard would be held at one O'Clock, to
consider the matter. At the meeting to-
day it was decided by the bank directors,
after considerable lengthy discussion, to
call a meeting of the stockholders for next
Wednesday evening ut the bank. The
matter will then be placed in their hands.
1t is inferred, however, from the general
feeling among the directors that the de-
| mand Of the Bank Commissioners will not
be complied with.
Bernard Lande, proprietor of the Peo-
| pies Stock Exchange Bucket Shop, that
| collapsed on the 14th of last month, was
arrested this afternoon on a warrant from
the City Criminal Court for embezzlement
The complaint is sworn out by w. d.
| Gamble, who says that on the 18th Of Jan
uary, the day when the concern failed, he
gave Lande Sis with which to buy stocks
on a margin, but which Lande appropri-
ated to his own use. Lande gave bail in
the sum OF s $1,000. Shortly afterwards,
Jno. Morgan, another one Of the Bucket
Shop victims procured q warrant for the
arrest Of Lande, on the charge of embez-
zling 500 under similar circumstances
1t is understood that the two warrants is
sued this afternoon are only the forerun-
ners of o score that are to follow.
