Incorporated in April, 1859, it has grown from a humble beginning to colossal proportions, so that to-day it's total assets of $42, ,570,45 astound the financial world
 The bank has no capital stock. There is due depositors $39, ,6S7, SOS and the re- serve fund amounts to s2,SS3, 145. The conservative policy of James R. Kelly, president, and Robert J. Tobin, secre- tary. has raised the bank to a high plane of prosperity. Its loans are gilt edged and yield sufficient income to af- ford the payment of good interest to depositors on their deposits.
 The directors of the bank are: R. J. Tobin. James R. Kelly, Alfred Tobin, Charles Mayo, R. N. Tobin, Patrick Crowley, J. s. Tobin and B. J. Tobln

On the date named the amount of money on hand was $2,387,- 509 F, while on December 1st it was 4,739,369 S2, an increase of $2, 351 ,860 60 The deposits of individuals in February amounted to $4,384,978 23 and on Dec cember 1st these aggregated LAO 4S7 9S, an increase of about 70 per cent These figures indicate in measure the confidence of the business community in the stability of the concern, particu- larly since its enrolment in the list of national banks. The increase of busi- ness has been uniformly steady during the past year, and it has at the present writing shown no signs of diminishing.
 The Nevada National Bank of San Francisco does a general commercial business and issues letters of credit available in all parts of the world. It has correspondents in all the leading cities of the globe, the more notable being the American Exchange National and Importers and Traders National banks in New York, the Union Bank of London, Limited, in London, and the Credit Lyonnais in Paris.

Tn the banks business, to which refer ence has heretofore been made.
 Personally, Mir. Hellman is a gentle man who possesses many admiral bIe qualities. He is accessible at all times and his opinions are frequently sought on business matters, his Judgment be- ing considered entirely reliable. On hnancial subjects he is a recognized authority, and the local press is indebt- ed to him for many valuable opinions on matters affecting the public policy.
 As one of the many evidences of his ability to financier large transactions, the recent placing here so successfully of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad bonds by the syndi- cate, of which he was the head, is con spicuous.
 In January of the present year the bank was nationalized under the name of The Nevada National Bank of San Francisco, step which has marked a new era in the prosperity of the insti- tuition. The increase of business since the naturalization of the bank is in many respects remarkable On December 1st last the condition of the bank was as follows:

INTERVIEW WITH SKATER.
The General Talks EnterIRininGIy OF the
Campaign In Cuba - Criticisims An
Awered-MiIitary Moves Defended.

New York, Aug. 27.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago says: Prior
to embarking on the steamer Mexico
Maj. Gen. Shafter consented to be in
terviewed. During the interview he
discussed in general terms the cam
paign that has just ended. The bare
prospect of returning TO the United
States caused him to be brighter, more
cheerful and less harassed-looking than
at any period since he embarked at
Tampa. Critics and detractors we're
alike forgotten and, with improved
health and the evident consciousness
that whateN er might be the eventful
verdict of the operations before Santi-
ago a difficult campaign had been
brought TO successful conclusion, he
spoke with greater energy and more
vigor than at any time since the capt.
ulation. Gen. Shafter said:
look upon the campaign Just closed as q
successful one In the highest degree, not only
In regard to the military operations. but more
especially In regard TO the great results
achieved When we decided TO attack Santi-
ago we looked for nothing more as the imme-
diate fruit OF victory than the capture OF the
city What has been achieved In the oapitula-
ton OF the eastern part OF the province from a
line at Jtbari TO the south coast together with
the enemy's forces amounting to almost "a 600
men. Surely this was the most potable
