A geologst has been secured to make a
thorough investigation in regard to the ores
Of Missouri, the Legislature having made a
liberal appropriation with that view. Our

brethren. If anything, Texas is rich in min
erals, and the necessity Of a thorough knowl-
edge OF her resources is now more apparent

MORE FAILURES.
Storer Bros. and Storer, Bolster & Co.
Stop Payment

Last August the firm of Storer Bros was
dissolved, and the firm of Storer. Bolster &
20. was formed, to continue the business
Within fortnight thereafter the new firm
sold out its whole stock in trade for 100000
cash to Deering, Millken & Co., another firm
in the wholesale dry goods business The sta te-
ment was made that there was no failure. 1t
was reported on the street that statement of
the firms condition showed surplus above
liabilities of $4,000, besides real estate
owned by Mr.. II. P. Storer to the value of
$4,000, real estate owned by Mr.. Fred Storer
OF the value of $25,0 900, and real estate owned
BY Mr.. Bolster, which was clear of incum-
brance. In all a surplus above liabilities, of
about $250,0O0; this did not include the equi-
ty Of redemption in the Storer Building, a
building which cost $4,000 and on which
there is mortgage Of $4,000. The liabilities
were said to be about 100000.
Yesterday the street was surprised by the an
nouncement that both firms, Storer Bros and
Storer Bolster & Co., had stopped payment
We do not understand that any of their paper
in bank was protested, but that through their
counsel, Hon. w. L. Putnam, they gave notice
that they would be unable to meet their ma
turing obligations
member of the latter firm said YESTERDAY
afternoon that he had no statement to make
further than that they had no idea until We'd
nesday that they would not pull through all
right but that they had been compelled to
stop, and meeting Of their creditors would
be held next Wednesday at o'clock D. M !.
1t is said that the firm finding in August
that it's credit was seriously impaired and that
to continue in business would probably bring
it to worse condition, disposed of its stock on
the best terms it could, and which it was be-
lieved would enable 1t to meet all liabilities as
they accrued, and to have surplus. 1t is re-
ported that the failure now is caused by the
fact that collections conli not be made fast
enough to meet the debts as they matured
and that the prospect of being able to pay all
creditors in full has vanished. Therefore as
an act of justice to all it was determined to
stop. An effort will be made it is said to have
their collections held in trust pending an in
vestigation Of the firms affairs. Such an in
vestigation would seem to be necessary, and
the actual condition iof the business at the
time of the sale of the stock, and before, will
be one of the matters to be inquired into.
