BANK OF MOT
PTSJSB
The Bank of Ruby sold all of Its
assets to the Northern Commercial
Co. and closed its doors on June 15.
The officials of the Bank found the
jstep necessary by reason of the fact
that lack of support has made the
venture anything but profitable and
they did not feel that the outlook
for this camp from a banking stand
point warranted running the busi
ness at a loss.
The following is a copy of a let
ter sent to all of the Bank's de
positors:
"Dear: Sir:
"The Northern Commercial Com
pany having purchased all the as
sets of the Bank of Ruby, this bank
win close on June 15th, and de
posits should be withdrawn before
that date.
Any deposits still on hand on
June 15th will bg paid by the North
em Commercial company on de
mand.
Yours truly,
BANK OF RUBY,

Vice Pres. & Cashier.
The above is in accordacne with
our agreement with the Bank.

The closing of the bank is a

MIXER KILLED IN
PECULIAR MANNER
Bert Walker was killed in one of
the tunnels of the Mascot Bench at
Long creek, near Ruby recently.. Tb
manner of his death is shrouded in
mystery and will probably never De
known as the coroners jury brought
in a verdict of accidental death,

It seems he went down in the
mine shortly before one o'clock on
April 30, and when the crew went
down after the noon hour they
found him in one of the tunnels un
tonsious with one of his arms bro
ken and a deep gash on the side of
h»g head. Ho wa« still ftllvo when 1
carried out and everything possible
wag done to revive aim but with
out avail and he died shortly at* j
ter. There was no indication of a '
caye In and the circumstances of
hla death are peculiar.
He haa been operating a Key
stone drill for » number of years
and acquired his Interest in the Mas
cot Bench from Ditz & 8elcii for!
prospecting the claim with his drill.
It - is estimated that he hag made
close to $100,000 out of his hold
ings in the Ruby district. He has
invested most of this back in the
country ( a large part in the Slate
Creek property being worked by El
