NO OCCASION FOR ALARM.
Banks and Should Not Cause
Withdrawal of Deposits.


President W. H. Winants, of the Clear
ing House Association. said yesterday:
1.-The failure of the Missouri National
cannot possibly affect any member of the
Clearing House Association. The associa-
ton has received no official news of the
failure at all. L do not understand why
the officials of the bank did not apply for
assistance, which would have been readily
given. 1 have no Information as to the
condition of the bank, burt the failure can
not have any bad effect whatever upon
the other banks of the city that are men,
bers of the Clearing House Association.
There is no cause for uneasiness and
have not seen any evidence that there was
any uneasiness."
". o. Cox, president of the Kansas City
State bank, said The failure of the Mis-
souri, National bank will have no Iisad
vantageous effect upon the other banking
institutions of the city. They are all Sc
cure, whereas the Missouri bank has been
unstable for years. Any bank in the city
that has good collateral, and as far as
, know they all have, will have no trouble
in raising all the money it needs. l don't
think there has been anything like a gen.
eral withdrawal of private deposits from
the other banks to-day; in fact, haven't
heard Of a single case. l presume, how
ever, that nervous person here and there,
with few hundred dollars in some bank
has taken it out and will hold 1t awhile
until he gets TO be afraid someone will rob
him, and then he will put it back"
William H Seeger cashier of the Citi-
Zens National bank. said last night:
There is not the slightest reason for any
alarm or uneasiness among the people or
in financial circles as a result of the fall
ure of the Missouri National. The only ef-
feet we perceived to-day was an increase
in business by reason of securing some ad-
ditional customers. This, believe, will be
the only effect produced at all in financial
circles. l should not have known that
failure occurred if had not been person.
ally informed of the fact. ! do not under
stand why the bank did not apply for as
sistance, which would have been cheerfully
rendered. As to the condition of the sus-
pended bank, | OF course know nothing.
But / can say that any uneasiness regard
ing the condition of other financial insti-
tutions or as to the effect OF this failure
upon them, is entirely unfounded."
1.-THE closing of the Missouri National
bank will in no way affect any of the
other banks; at least. We are not antici-
pating any run" said ]. G. Stream. cashier
of the Metropolitan National bank. which
is just across the hall in the New York
Life building from the Missouri National.
"If a run should be made on us we are
fully prepared to meet the demands of
our depositors. Yesterday afternoon. after
the closing of the Missouri National. our
receiving teller was much buster than the
paying teller. In fact. many new accounts
were opened with persons who came TO
make their deposits in the Missouri Ma
tional and finding the doors closed,
stepped across the hall and made their
deposits with u.s."

DIGGING ron HURLED GOLD.
Finding n shovel Gives Encourn ge-

Pennington. N. j., Jan. lG--The large
number OF hands employed by Farmer
William NJ Slmonton. at Asbury, War
rem county, have now reached a depth
OF sixty feet In their search of the
wealth that was buried on Simonton's
farm during the revolutionary war by
the Spaniards. Yesterday the gold dig
gers suddenly came upon a grubbing
hoe and n shovel The finding of these
implements caused widespread atten-
tion. This. coupled with the fact that
no one else had previously been digging
near the spot gave the men renewed
courage and now operations will be
pushed with greater rapidity.
Thirty years ago q number of en-
terprislng capitalists undertook to I'M

Geo, Richey farm. After going down
to n depth of about thirty feet one
night the sides caved In. completely
burying their tools. This so discour-
aged the excavators that they aband-

trat Venezuela is extremely unhealthy.
IT lies close to the equator. and a very
great portion of IT is swamp. From
this swamp region rise miasmntic eN-
hnlntlons which make It impossible for
the white men to live there at all and
even for the natives very dangerous
Every year there are foundations and
overtlows IT the rivers. and the swamps
become a verltable sea of miasmatic
gases No white man can work in the
mines for three days without taking
fever. and n native Is usnally disabled
in nine months. II is n region no one
should desire 10 own, but which every
body should desire to get rid OF. /
would consider It criminal to organize
a company to work these gold fields
The white men would turn the mines
