| The Folsom Telegraph had an in
terview with John Ainsworth the other
day, before he left for Arizona He
said he had great confidence in the
future of the American River Land and
Lumber Company. He said that he did
not resign his position because he fear
ed the financial standing of the COM
pany, but he was offered a better posi-
ton at higher salary by the Arizona
company and it was but natural he
should accept it.
Mr.. AinsWorth pointed out that the
American River Land and Lumber
Company was tied up for the need OF
only few thousand dollars, which, I'M

time, as the security is good It is not
