But finally the elevated provide of gold from California, Australia and South Africa, had thus far turned the scale between the 2 metals as to attract the world-huge at- tention of enterprise men. Of tlie seven banking establishments that had been closed by that panic, solely one of them ever opened once more for enterprise. As a result of that panic, there have been an enormous number of foreclosures of mortgages in addition to actions and judgments ; and it has been estimated that about one-half the actual property in the county changed hands in consequence of such foreclosures and sheriffs gross sales. And the city was practically seven years in recovering from the losses and general disarrangement influcted on property holders and enterprise men. How- ever, in the case of this city there was one local affect that tremendously aggravated the overall disturbance. It suffered in common with many different enterprise centers of the United States; displaying that the underlying causes of that nice catastrophe were not native but widespread and national. On October 31, 1902, the financial institution was amalgamated with the United States National Bank, which carried the business of both the former establishments right down to the current writing. March 31, 1909 - H. L. Corbett, vice-presi- dent.

On May 31, 1905, the business of the Portland department of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Bank was absorbed by the United States National, and the next offi- cers elected : J. C. Ainsworth, president ; R. Lee Barnes, vice-president ; R. W. Schmeer, cashier; A. M. Wright and W. A. Holt, assistant cashiers, that are the officers at present. Reports for the yr 1910 should not obtainable when this chapter was prepared ; however estimating from identified increases of enterprise Portland's financial institution clearings for the yr 1910, won't fall in need of five hundred million dollars. It was organ- ized on July 4, 1865, and commenced enterprise in a little room within the second story of the brick home on the west aspect of Front avenue three doors south of Stark street. The certificates had been primarily based on the paper due the banks ; the paper due the banks was based on fish, wheat, lumber, wool, hops, fruit, manufactured goods, and so forth. And the grangers who proposed fifteen years earlier than to have the U. S. authorities lend the farmers paper cash on wheat, cotton, wool, etc., were now in a position to take front seats in finance, and sit at the head of the table with probably the most unique of Portland millionaires.

J. Lowenberg was then at the head of the Merchants' National, and though its assets have been ample, it didn't have coin enough, however its president, with unflinching courage, put up his entire non-public fortune to the last dollar to get the coin - and saved his financial institution.

That curtailed the purchasing power of the laboring lessons. Moreover, the strategic utility of chlorine gasoline empowers mining operators with larger control over the extraction process. The presence the certain minerals such oxidized copper minerals is a poison for the process as a consequence of copper will probably be dissolved in first instance and the free cyanide is not going to be used for gold dissolution. The process considers the environmental side. Many thousand dollars of this type of paper was issued and handed into all the channels of commerce all around the state, al- though not one of the banks outside of Portland went into the scheme, or appHed for any of the certificate money. That is a rise of $7,238,068.93 over a year ago. On September i, 1910, complete deposits in all Oregon banks equalled $100,- 852,445.40. The increase since September, 1909, is $14,760,583.87.
