TRUST SAVING ACCOUNTS POPULAR SAYS CURNOW Advertising brings business to ‘banks just as it does to other busiiness concerns, ‘A. Curnow, manager of the local ibranch of the United Security Bank and Trust Company, who bases_his ‘belief on a report made to him by Jw. A. Seher of the head office force Mr: Seher is in town in connection 'with the local campaign of the bank ifor Trust Fund Savings accounts. . “Mr Seher reports” said Mr. Curnow, ‘“* that since the bank began to advertise this Trust Fund Account, which has been the subject of a series of widely printed advertisements during the past few weeks, hundreds of these accounts ‘have been opened ,and many of them have been in sums as large as ten or twenty thousand dollars; but we'll gladly start one with a dollar deposit for any who wish. “The trust Fund Account is a ; simple and well tested type of account, bearing the usual interest, controled entirely by the depositor during his life, . but passing at his . death without any fuss or delay to lany person he names as_ beneficiary. The beneficiary has no rights during the life of the depositor, who can close the account, or do anything else with it he wants to. The effect of the trust to-do away with probate in small cash estates, and to greatly simplify it in larger ones. “Many of the thrifty of California did not know about this found it out, we are opening these accounts in every office. We have a ‘quota here, and are working tofill it, so that this offi¢e may do its share to help its patrons safeguard their dependents against the financial troubles that might otherwise harass them at a time when death would make such a condition doubly burdensome.”’ JOHN SANFORD PASSES .

Five hundred inches of water is now flowing as faras the Gaston and Ancho mines for their use and next year it is expected to bring a supply down the Ridge in addition to this as the water for the mines is not available. after beinb used. This has made possible the opening of these two mining properties this year and helping to make it possible for the San Juan people to make repairs to the flume and ditch so that it could be put inte use again after being dry for two years. { There yet remains to be raised, approximately $3650 to pay off the labor and material bills incurred, reports Chairman Sam McCullough: The total cost of theimprovement is; between $5000 and $6000 of which amount the Rescue-Eula and Yellow Tiger mining companies paid a nice portion and which in reality made it possiblé for the work to proceed Bees season. The Nevada County Baese ae Association also made . a large contribution. It is expected ' ; that the communities of Nevada City and Grass Valley will come generously forward when the opportunity comes to help clear the debt. The detailed lows: Labor bills paid . Materials and supplies Owing on labor Owing-—on material Total expense $5604.85 The mining companies will take care of approximately $400. of. the unpaid amount which will leave with the.-amount necessary to complete repairs below Graniteville, $3650 yet _ to be raised.
