BE ATT Y, Oct. 30. The last rail of the Tonopah and Tidewater
Railroad Company was laid today, and Los Angeles becomes nine
ty miles or more nearer to Beatty, Goldfield and Tonopah.
This will be the terminal of tae Borax SmUh road for the pres
ent, connecting here with the Bullfrog, Goldfield and Tonopah and
Goldfield i;nr, for the northern cities. It is expected that traf
fic will be commenced over the line iu a few days, and the moment
the line is opened, it means much for this country, as well as Los
Angeles.
There will then be two lines from Los Angeles as far as Beatty,
and tie Clark line will extend as Tar north as Goldfield. The
Tonopah and Tidewater will be practically a through road to
Tonopah, for traffic arrangements have been made between Borax
Smith and Brock. The cutting off of ninoty miles between Nevada
points and southern California will meaa a considerable increase
in traffic, and should result In a lessening of freight rates, as It
has already resulted in a cheapening of fares.

TUESDAY
GRAVEL STRIKE'
FABULOUSLY RICH
PLACERV1LLE, Oct. 30 Prob
ably the greatest strike of gold in
the history of California was made
today at the gravel diggings of the
Prevolcanic Channel Gold Mining
Company, eighteen miles east of this
city, on the American River aud near
the Lake Tahoe State road. As soon
as the news of the strike reached this
place there was a stampede for the
district. Men went out in buggies,
on horseback and in wagons to stake
out claims.
The mine in which the discovery
was made is owned by local people
and San Francisco capitalists. For
many years it has been known that
great deposits of gravel existed under
the lava formation that caps the
eastern part of the county. Prospec
tors have spent' years in trying to lo
cate the pay streak, but the lead was
not heretofore found. A drift was
cut across the channel for twenty
feet and fabulously rich deposits un
covered. The gold is coarse channel
nuggets, weighing from one to six
teen ounces, and was found in great
quantities. I
The report was brought to Placer
vllle by miners returning from the
diggings and is authentic. When the
officials of the company were seen
they were reticent, but admitted that
the pay streak had been cut and that
the gravel is richer than any streak
ever discovered in this county.

there was a notable accession of con

upheaval that has occurred In the

California Safe Deposit; and Trust Company
rorced to buspend.
(Special to the Bonanza.) .
SAN' FRANCISCO, Oct. 30. The California Safe Deposit and
Trust Company bank closed its doors at 2:30 o'clock this after-
noon. Officials of the bank tonight issued the following state-
ment: "The California Safe Deposit and Trust Company has
temporarily suspended. This action was taken because of the
small amount of money In circulation and the bank not being a
member of the clearing house could not obtain clearing house
certificates to tide over existing conditions. The bank is perfect-
ly solvent and is making arrangements in the East for assistance,
which it confidently expects to obtain. The bank will undoubtedly
open its doors within a few days and air of the depositors may
be assured that they will be paid in full."
J. Dalzell Brown, the bank's manager, said the officials were un-
willing to make any further statement of the bank's affairs until
after the State Bank Commissioners have made their examination
and issued their report. They win begin the investigation tomor-
row morning. Governor Gillett has decided to declare tomorrow
a legal holiday and to continue that procedure from day to day
until Hs need disappears. This will not prevent the opening tomor-
row morning of such banks as desire to accept deposits and cash
checks, and it is generally thought tonight . that not all of the
eighteen banks In the clearing house, nor all of the trust com-
panies and savings institutions outside of it, will avail themselves
of the State respite. Leading bankers have been admitting very
frankly that actual money Is comparatively very scarce In San
Francisco as a result of the stringency in the East, and declare
there is nothing In the condition of the large majority of local
banks to justify general alarm. As they put it, they could not be
greatly surprised to see a few of the lesser, weaker and specula-
tlve banks hoist signals of distress, and privately they mention
one or two such, but they are firm in the statement that almost
without exception commercial and. savings banks and trust com-
panles of the city are sound; conservatively managed and perfect-
ly capable of withstanding a stress. They complain, however,
against their correspondents in New York and other Eastern cen-
ters, who offer nothing better than drafts In response to tele-
graphed requests for Immediate shipment of large balances due
the banks of San Francisco from them. The refusal of the San
Francisco sub-treasury to make loans on large holdings of United
Mates bonds they also comnlain of. .
