Che Daily Transcript] NEVADA CITY, CAIn Wednesday, Oct. 27, 1875. Stringent Money Market. Money is the hardest thing there is to be got in this State at the present time, yet itis said there is mofe eoin in the State than ever before. Not a bank in the State will ‘loan a dollar even:jf their vaults are filled to repletion. The gold is locked up or buried in the ground, and business. languishes for want of it. Probably the millionaires, Flood & O’Brien, have had more to do in bringing about the present state of ffairs, than all other causes combined. . In order to secure . the amount of coin necessary to open their bank, they had to call in their loans-and keep the money. That amount withdrawn from circulaticn; in addition-to-what gold went to New York to be sold at a high price, started the stringeacy, Then the Bank of California closed, and a panic*ensued all over the State. The money market has--not-yetrecovered ‘trom the-effects of it, from the simple faet’ that perfect confidence has not yet been restored. As soon as those who hold coin in their vaults will pat it in circulation, everything will _ be easy again. The money is in the State, the banks are all solvent, and the State was never sounder financially than it is to-day. There is no cause for a.stringency in money matters, except the locking up_proeess which has been going on: San Franciseo banks will not loan a dol~ lar to the business men of the métropolis: The business men, in consequence, have to hurry up payments from their country customers, so that a great deal of the coin in the interior of the State has; and is finding its way to San Francisco, where it stays. There is money’ enough in that city to-day to’do the busiziess of four States; if it should. be put in circulation. Those who have it hoarded will-soon get. tired of having it lay idle, and will then set it afloat again. As soon as that oocurs, and it can not be long before it will be done, the tight times will eease, and everything will go on in the accustomed way. .

Virginia City yesterday forenoon, destroying the business portion of the town, and algo allthe hoisting works and mills from the Chollar mine to the Ophir, inclusive., Among them are the Hale & Norcross, Sayagé, Gould & Curry, Best & Belcher, Consolidated Virginia and California. The loss is immense, ond at the present time beyond computation. The California mill was expected to be completed this week, and now.-it is in ashes. .The Consolidated Virginia and California mills are said to be the finest mills ever built. The other miues had also very valuable mills which are also destroyed. The loss in the business portion of the town. must also be great, as the stores along the line of .the fire was filled with goods of every description, the merchants. having laid in their Winter stocks. : s The result: of ther fire . must have created a panic among stock operators as will be seen by a comparison of the prices ruling yesterday and the day previous, In the morning Board, Consolidated Virginia alone depreciated $10,800,000, and Ophir $1,400,000. All the other mines inside the fire limits fell in proportion. This fall can only be temporary beabove will build a dozen mHls on each mine. . The fire, however, is the most destructive one which has occurred on this Coast for years, A Railroad Ride. Last Sunday two of our most enterprising young imen, who. were brought. up in the fond hope that they would turn out to be Sunday School Superintendents, went out to see how the railroad was getting along, They had a buggy and a Span, and they rode down to Greenhorn bridge. They there saw a little car on the track, one that is used for construction purposes, and one which is used in front of the construction engine. The little car isa nice little ‘flat’ and just the one to témpt young men. to have a ride, and it jast heldtwo men in comfort. Our adventurers tied up thelr horses ‘and'then boarded the little ‘fat car. ‘They started that car down towards Bear River. At first the thing moved slowly, but at every turn of the wheels speed was gained.~ They went into the Greenhorn tunnel, and ip that they struck still more down grade. That little car gathered motion as it went down hill. It got to making a speed of abuut 60 miles an hour, and it. turned curves ‘at the rate of a flash of lightning. There were no brakes ‘on the car and no way to stop her. The two passengers began to get excited with the ride. The speed of the little car caused their hats to blow off and came very near to taking their hair out by the roots. They were nearing Bear River bridge which is ninety-eight feet high, and such a bridge is not good looking to cross over on asmallcar, There happened to be & piece of seantling, ora tie on the car, and they concluded to stop their speed. One of the young gentlemen took that tie and drepped it in. front of the car. The result was that the car and the two young men went eff the track, each taking a flight ina different direction. The car was. not hurt and the two young men only felt sore “yesterday morning. They put the: ear again on the track and pushed her up to where they began their ride. It took an hour aud a half to do the uphill work. They made the down grade in less go tochurch on Sunday and let the railroad alone, : . : and Billy Johnston are geing down to show how easy it is to ride down the . : road. —G. V, Union.

A Prrtasue SicuT.—On the emi: grant train which passed here night before last a -pitiable spectacle was exhibited. A family bound for California had an idiotic boy whom they kept strapped to one of the seats like @ savage dog, to prevent him from injuring. himself. or others. His face and head were deformed, and the miserable creature was one of the most pitiable specimens of hufather said that he had been a bright looking boy from the time of his birth until he was nearly two yours old, when, withoutany apparent cause, he became idiotic, and ever since he has been kept chained like a wild beast.

Bank SUSPENSION.— Yesterday afternoon the iron doors of the Bank of Findley & Co., closed. As that closing toek place before regular hours, the event caused much inquiry as to the cause of it. We do not know why the bank closed, excepting that we do know, that the best assets in-the world can not realize coin for present use. We belicve the closing is but temporary. In this connection we will say that the not involved, but that the road will 8° along as it has been going. —G.

Virginia City yesterday forenoon, destroying the business portion of the town, and algo allthe hoisting works and mills from the Chollar mine to the Ophir, inclusive., Among them are the Hale & Norcross, Sayagé, Gould & Curry, Best & Belcher, Consolidated Virginia and California. The loss is immense, ond at the present time beyond computation. The California mill was expected to be completed this week, and now.-it is in ashes. .The Consolidated Virginia and California mills are said to be the finest mills ever built. The other miues had also very valuable mills which are also destroyed. The loss in the business portion of the town. must also be great, as the stores along the line of .the fire was filled with goods of every description, the merchants. having laid in their Winter stocks. : s The result: of ther fire . must have created a panic among stock operators as will be seen by a comparison of the prices ruling yesterday and the day previous, In the morning Board, Consolidated Virginia alone depreciated $10,800,000, and Ophir $1,400,000. All the other mines inside the fire limits fell in proportion. This fall can only be temporary beabove will build a dozen mHls on each mine. . The fire, however, is the most destructive one which has occurred on this Coast for years, A Railroad Ride. Last Sunday two of our most enterprising young imen, who. were brought. up in the fond hope that they would turn out to be Sunday School Superintendents, went out to see how the railroad was getting along, They had a buggy and a Span, and they rode down to Greenhorn bridge. They there saw a little car on the track, one that is used for construction purposes, and one which is used in front of the construction engine. The little car isa nice little ‘flat’ and just the one to témpt young men. to have a ride, and it jast heldtwo men in comfort. Our adventurers tied up thelr horses ‘and'then boarded the little ‘fat car. ‘They started that car down towards Bear River. At first the thing moved slowly, but at every turn of the wheels speed was gained.~ They went into the Greenhorn tunnel, and ip that they struck still more down grade. That little car gathered motion as it went down hill. It got to making a speed of abuut 60 miles an hour, and it. turned curves ‘at the rate of a flash of lightning. There were no brakes ‘on the car and no way to stop her. The two passengers began to get excited with the ride. The speed of the little car caused their hats to blow off and came very near to taking their hair out by the roots. They were nearing Bear River bridge which is ninety-eight feet high, and such a bridge is not good looking to cross over on asmallcar, There happened to be & piece of seantling, ora tie on the car, and they concluded to stop their speed. One of the young gentlemen took that tie and drepped it in. front of the car. The result was that the car and the two young men went eff the track, each taking a flight ina different direction. The car was. not hurt and the two young men only felt sore “yesterday morning. They put the: ear again on the track and pushed her up to where they began their ride. It took an hour aud a half to do the uphill work. They made the down grade in less go tochurch on Sunday and let the railroad alone, : . : and Billy Johnston are geing down to show how easy it is to ride down the . : road. —G. V, Union.
