Another Bank
Closes Doors

The Bank Of Rawhide closed it's
doors yesterday afternoon at o'clock
ending the completion of the examin-
er's report This is not unexpected
as it was known that the failure of
the First Bank of Rawhide would
result in a run on the other bank
This happened, and all day yester-
day the bank was busy paying off
depositors, but the strain could not
last very long, and it was decided to-
day to close until the bank examiner
had completed his inspection Of the
banks affairs.
The bank of Rawhide was merged
some time ago with the Miners and
Merchants bank and would probably
have weathered all difficulties had
it not been for the sudden closing of
the First Bank. Rawhide is now
without a bank of any sort, with the
exception of the branch of the Nye
and Ormsby County bank which is
closing up its business as rapidly as
possible preparatory to its disbanding.

FIRST Ma
TIONAL BANK
Of Carson City Will be
In Operation by Last
of Next Month

Word has been received by the
Nye and Ormsby County Bank in this
city that a reservation for the First
National Bank of Carson City has
been made and that the application
for the same will be taken up at an
early date. This means that proba-
will have a national bank which will
also be United States depository.
This will be good news to the peo-
pie of Carson City and will be a ben
eft in more ways than one. The es-
tablishing of national bank in this
city will mean that the present ac-
tivity at the mint will continue. The
order recently made by the govern
ment making all payments for bull
lion for coin would have worked a
hardship on this mint but with a
national bank here which is also a
United States depository the money
for this purpose can be deposited here
and checks drawn on other cities
! for the payment of the bullion with
out any additional cost to the com
pany producing the bullion.
The business of the Nye and Orms
| by County Bank in this city will be
settled up as soon as possible after
the National Bank is organized. The
new bank will probably occupy the
quarters now used by the N. and 0
Bank and the latter will be moved tc
a rear room until the business car
be settled and the old institution wip-
ed out. This procedure was taker
/ in Goldf1eld and the business of the
old bank is practically settled.
