From paper on early banking enter
prises in Wisconsin, prepared by SEN
ator J. w. Bashford of Madison, we
clip the following Gov Dodge in the
annual message to the legislative as
sembly, delivered Nov q. 1888. recon-
mended an investigation of the three
banks in the territory, The committee
was deceived as to the condition of the
bank at Mineral Point, as it was re-
ported to be in a safe condition, when
in fact it must have been hopelessly in
solvent. Gov. Dodge was not impressed
with these statements and in his mes
sage delivered in December, 1899, he
recommended that legal steps be taken
to ascertain the true condition of the
bank at Mineral Point. The committee
reported that this was the only legal
banking institution then in the terri
tory. The charter of the bank was re-
pealed in 1912, after it had gone into
hands of receivers and the cashier had
proved himself a scoundrel and default
er. Soon after the organization of the
bank at Mineral Point, James d. Doty
bought up the stock and gained con
trolling interest. In the fall Of 1888,
or the spring of 1882 Samuel b. Knapp
and one Peter Bruce came to Mineral
Point and took charge of the institu-
ton. The latter bought ore from the
miners and shipped the lead to the east
and south. This afforded a pretext for
issuing what were called "post notes, 4"
referred to in the governors message.
Across the face was written in red ink
that they were redeemable in two or
three months. They were accepted
with no little grumbhng by the trades
men and miners, who called this paper
