THAT RIVERSIDE BANK.
Some Gossip Regarding Its Proposed
Resumption.

Some Gossip Regarding Jts Proposed
Resumption.
After all that has been said, the de-
funct Riverside Banking company's bank
still remains unopened. The situation
ia very aggravating. to say the least, to
the many depositors OF the institution.
Since the attorney-general authorized
the resumption OF the bank, If all the
depositors would sign an agreement to
that effect, and since the managers re-
turn, the people of the orange center
have anxiously awaited action in the
matter. But the trouble is too apparent.
All the depositors have not, nor is it
likely that they will, sign the agree
ment.
1t ia understood that over $50, 900 in
deposits is not represented by sigma
lures to the agreement. II this is the
case, it is clear that immediate resump-
tion is not likely to be brought about.
1t is sure that no invincible disposition
has been shown to resume on the
strength OF deposits.
The attorney for the state in the
matter was seen yesterday in this city
and asked regarding the rumor that an
attachment was about to De put upon
the bank. He admitted that such talk
had been indulged in, but said that in
case such action was taken the bank
would go into insolvency.
He had not heard the rumor that one
gentleman had beehspaid chis deposit
from the bank This would be illegal,
and it is more than probable that it is
nothing but rumor. .Asiacd sle.
In the report of the 1attofney-gen
it was shown that the bank had $84, 900
available assets above dliabilities-not
including $5000O0 considered doubtful
assets. The attorney-general gave as
his opinion that probably one-fourth Of
the latter sum can be collected.
Whether his opinion is correct remains
to be seen.
The Riverside bank was the first to
fail in this part of the west, and it is one
of the last to resume or even have set
Element inaugurated. Just why this
peculiar situation exists cannot be fully
determined. E
1t is expected. however, that some
thing definite will be known within a
very short time. ys

The Goler Mining Camp

Elsinore Press: w. Abel, formerly
resident of Perris, but now a prospector
OF the new Goler mining district, some
20 miles northeast of Mojave, was in
Riverside last week and exhibited q
large assortment OF fine nuggets from
his mining camp. There are about 80
miners In the camp engaged in placer
and quartz mining. In the former
about dozen dry washers were at
work. Little has been done during the
summer, but now that the heat is less
intense and the nights are cool. there is
good deal of activity in the camp and
many claims are being worked. Besides
gold quartz there is also large quantities
of rock containing silver and lead. Mr..
Abel displayed specimen which runs
SAT in silver to the ton, and also con-
tains AT per cent of lead. He predicts
important developments in the near
future.
The herald., 1893-09-05

10-inch pay streak is the size OF the
vein. The usual rush of miners has
taken place, and the country adjacent lie
plastered with location notices. Speci-
mems shown indicate value OF several
honsa nd do liars per ton.
Charles E. Sherman has struck q re-
markably rich chute of ore in the Distaff
mine at Chloride, at depth of 100 feet,
says the Kingmsn Miner. A streak OF
almost solid silver ore has been uncov-
cred in sinking wiDze from the drift
level. In sinking Is feet $500 worth OF
ore was extracted. Mr.. Sherman brought
in several specimens OF the ore and has
placed them on exhibition.
Work on the Phoenix mine, saws the
Herald OF that place, has been steadily
pushed for the last 30 days preparing to
once more make it heavy producer.
Since the 18th OF last month there has
been taken to the mine 100000 pounds
of lumber and 100000 pounds OF
machinery, all OF which has been placed
in position. The managers are now
awaiting the receipt OF five more cars oil
machinery, and ae soon as it has been
received and placed in position the
music of dropping stamps and the ship
ment of bullion will follow.
s. Z. Fuller, who arrived few days
ago from Stanton, says the Prescott
Journal-Miner, brings beautiful three
ounce gold nugget. besides over a
hundred dollars in dust, which he and
his partners recently washed out on
Antelope creek, two miles from the
station. He states further that be saw
several hundred dollars in gold taken
from the same creek, and that over 80
miners were daily washing out the
gravel there. The excitement over the
discovery of auch vast amounts has
caused rush from every section, and as
a reeult many we're disappointed in not
securing ground to work upon. The
men who are now on the creek have
taken out in the aggregate at least
$4,000, and that within the short space
OF one month.
Sampson & Bent have one of the
richest group of gold mines in the terri
tory near Arivaca, reports the Tucson
Enterprise. They have seven compact
claims, covering the south side of the
Guijae mountains, upon every one OF
which are one or more good ledges car
rying gold in paying quantities even
from the groupings. Upon all of these
veins some development work has been
done, ahd force is kept constantly at
work upon one claim that seems the
most promising, and large quantity of
very high grade ore is being extracted.
The ore is generally OF a dark, oxydized
iron quartz, very friable and easily
mined, much OF it carrying gold plainly
visible to the naked eye, while the rich
est ore--that which yields a value of
$4,000 or $1,000 per ton by the
horn spoon - shows no evidence
to the casual look Of its real
worth. Many assays have been
made, principally of the inferior ores.
and the results run from $3.50 TO $589
per ton, the richest ore predominating
in quantity. The gulches about the
mines have been worked by Mexicans
for many years. and great deal OF ore
has been washed out by the crude and
slow process used. Nuggets OF several
ounces in weight have frequently been
found, but very few are now met with,
as the ground has been worked over
several timee
