BAN FRANCISCO NEWS, Owing to the State election we have no quotations, the Stock Board being in recess. The bullion ship- ments amount to $23,500, Flood & O’Brien have started the new shaft at the French gold mme on the Mother Lode of California, The Lyon Mill and Mining Company paid to-day $25,000 in dividends for the past fiscat month. The Colbert Gold Mining Company has been organized in San Fran- cisco with a capital of $3,000,000. The Branch Mint received last week five bars of pure silver bullion from Senator Jones’ Panamint Mines, the aggregate weight of which was a little over one ton, The Northern Belle Mine is shipping from $5,000 to $8,000in bullion The product of the Consolidated Virginia Mine last week was 4,615 tons, The enormous engines over the Joint ©. and. shaft, said to be tho finest in the world, were started for the first time on Monday last. The shaft is to-day 702 feet deep. The Eureka Cousolidated Silver Mining Company has passed into the joint control of the Nevada Bank and the Bank of California, Judge Heydenfelt representing the former, and A, P. K, Harmon the latter bank in the Board of Trustees just elected. ‘rhe Eureka Company has a share capital of $5,000,000, upon which, until within a month or two, dividends of 24 per cent per annum (coin) have been regularly paid. The Eureka Mine is in the Eureka district of Lander county, Ne- vada, and is on the same vein with the Richmond Con- sols (English) and the K. K. Consolidated mines. Its ores are principally argentiferous galena, and are readily smelted. The Potosi Silver Mine, near La Plata, Pern, is em- Ploying about 2,000 men, most continuously since its discovery in 1585, and has yielded, it is estimated (as no systematic record has been kept), about $250,000,000 in bullion, In Colorado the silver mines are reaching depths where it is impossible to work them by hand-labor alone, and their developments are such as to justify the employment of steam machinery. The Equator and Terrible are both equipped with small hoisting en- gines and pumps, and similar machinery bas been con- structed for the Dives’ Mine, owned by Senator Logan and Mr, Honoré, of Chicago. 200 Pack of Mo.be.b3 100 do. 2:30 TO 3 PM 200 do. 33 100 Mil & St’ PRR pf... 100 Tol & Wab RR... 200 33 a ‘50 Harlem Rit. 100 Mich Cen Ri 200 do...

CURRENT GOSSIP ABOUT MISSOURI PACIFIC-« SOME FIGURES FROM THE ATLANTIC AND PA« CIVIC RAILWAY COMPANY—PACIFIC MAIL SET« TLEMENTS AND NEW CLIQUES IN LAKE SHORB AND WESTERN UNION. Another conference meeting of the Missouri Paci Stockholders’ Committee was held yesterday at the offices of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, in the Drexel building. As usual the report wag not made to tha stock and bond holders, and rumor has it that it will be anfavorable, A semi-official statement issued trom the Atlantic and Paciflc office shows that fronx January 1 to October 14 the earnings of that road fel off $73,634, and that the earnings of the Missou Pacific and its branches tor the same time di $602,996, Mr. A. W. Baylis, chairman of the Conferd ence Committee, stated that the report in full—witl recommendations for reconstruction—would probabl; be submitted on Monday next, In the meantime the stock shrinks daily about one percent ‘To-day it so! PACIFIO MALL MATTERS continue to absorb the attention of Wall street, T day the stock was the favorite on the Exchange ani advanced handsomely to 89%. It is rumored in well informed circles that in addition to the sale of th: four side-wheel wooden ships for 700,000 Mexican ri: dollars, the company had also negotiated a loan wit Brown Brothers & Co. for £100,000 sterling on their’ stock. It will be remembered that the Messrs. Browm wore formerly directors in the company. The prin cipal cause for the advance may, however, be found {i the belief that Mr. A B. Stockwell, the former presi. dent of the company, has made overtures to the pres- Sent direction to compromise the claims of the latter! against him for $500,000, tn order that he can come back to New York and be freed from all vexatious hiti- gation, WESTERN UNION TRLBGRAPH COMPANY was purchased largely by a new pool, said to be headed by Mr. Eugene Robinson, a young and wealthy opera. tor, but Mr. Cohen, the representative of the riv: National Telegraph Company, is still in New York, an promises to ventilate his projects soon as to an opposi. tion, Lake Shore stock yesterday was largely bought byt the new ring noticed ‘in this column yesterday, and th) veteran Russell Sage, D. P. Morgan and others wer credited with manipulating the stock. BUSINESS FAILURES. BUTTERICK & CO. The failure of Butterick & Co., dealers in ladies® paper fashion forms, plates, patterns, &c., noticed im yesterday's HERALD, appears to be confirmed, Their’ liabilities are stated tobe quite large, and they had many branch establishments in this ‘city, Their bust ness has been immense, but the dull times and thei heavy expenses have proved too much for them. Their manufacturing establishments and agencies extended all over the country. As the business requires the mosti fashionable quarters, the rents paid make a formidable, item in the expenses. The chief indebteduess is for paper, which they consumed largely, Among othe! branches of the business they have a large printin office with ten or twelve presses, and lately they opene a house in London which absorbed some $50,000. Mr. Buttorick is aman of great enterprise, energy al shrewdness, and will doubtless make the best of t situation, ¥ W. B, HUNTER & CO, It will be remembered that the house which unde the style of W. B. Hunter & Co., formerly carried pe business at No, 132 Front street, suspended aero on the 12th of this month. The concern was engage in the tmportation of tea, and also did a general com- mission business with the Dominion of Canada, Yes~ terday afternoon a meeting of the creditors was had im the offices of the late establishment. The meeting wi exclusively of a private nature, “altogether an inform: one.” Mr. Wykes, a member ‘of tho firm, declined t furnish the Henan reporter with any’ informatio about the business transacted at the meeting, but said that a committee had been appointed to in quire into the value and condition of the assets that give the names of the committee, and stated in gener terms that the liabilities of the firm amounted t $400,000, of which sum $250,000 are “unsecured.” That’ is ‘to say that the house owes $400,000, and pos Besses nominal assets to the extent of $150,000, wit which to liquidate outstanding liabilities, THE CLEWS FAILURE. The examination of Mr. Henry Clews in the suit wit regard to tho claim of Mr. H. Cheever has been agai postponed on account of the protracted {Ilness of Mra Clews.
