Those Buena Vista Clay Banks.

Ed. JoURNAL:-One would jndge from
reading the morning paper that the clay
banks at Buena Vista owned by Gilbert
Bros, we're very valuable property. 1t
seems now that Gilbert Bros. are
engaged in an effort to show that they
are perfectly solvent, and in order TO do
so they have estimated the Buena Vista
property worth $5O,OOO0O.
1t is astoniehing that such a silly and
absurd statement should be published. /.
Every reader OF the JOURNAL knows
where Buena Vista is located and what
is the value of property in that plac ,
aud the immediate vicinity. A few days
ago when Gilbert Bros. placed Mr..
Tyler upon the witness stand, as witness
in their behalf, he showed that they had
sold about 5000 worth of clay from
those premises each year during the last
threeyesrs. Now len 10000 wonderful
income on property worth $4,000. 0O2
The climax, however, was reached
this mording when Mr.. II. B. Thielson,
who was appointed receiver for Gilbert
Bros, by the United States Circuit
Court for this district, testified that in
making his sppraisement OF the proper
ty owned by Gilbert Bros, Mr.. A. T.
Gilbert was present and made his esti-
mate, and as to this Buena Vista pi op-
erty, Mr.. Thielson swore that the tOt tai
value of the Buena Vista property es-
timated BY Mr.. Gilbert was the sum
of 81. 325. 90 and that Mr.. Gilbert had
informed him that all he had paid for
the property was 81, ,272.0O.
The petitioners aud depositors gener-
ally would be very much pleased to
learn that the Gilbert Bros. wore more
than solvent, because in the event OF
their being solvent every one OF their
creditors would be paid in full, but up
to the present time IL would appear az
If the unlucky depositors who had been
slow in going around TO see Gilbert
Bros. ON April % last to get collateral
security, would receive very little.
