The managers of the various smelting works reiterate their intention of closing their plants in accordance with the resolution adopted at Thursday's meeting. This does not mean that the fires will be damped down immediately, but will be confined to the treatment of ores on hand, no more being received from any source. Smelters practically an nounced their intention to do this some days ago, and it is thought that the stopping of the output of silver in Colorado will not throw the thousands of miners out of employment for some weeks. The case is different with the silver mines in Colorado. Many great mines closed at Leadville yesterday, and several thousand men are out of work. The mines have also beenclosed at Rico, Creede, Aspen and elsewhere. Merchants throughout the State are countermanding orders for goods from the East. The Cleer Creek County Bank at Georgetown has closed its doors, Its assets are $392,000, and its liabilities $233,000. The reasons given for the suspension are the tightness of money and the fall in silver. The First National Bank at Rico, Colorado, has also closed its doors. The miners are excited, and threaten violence. Men dismissed from work were paid with cheques on the bank, and they are clamouring for their money.-- Daily Tslegramh, July 3rd.

At midnight Sheriff Sectt with a posse of twelve men went out to intercept a mob that had raided Fancher Creek nursery and was driving the Chinese to town. The sheriff intercepted them, liberated thirty-two Chirese and Japanese and sent them back to their work today. The sheriff bas announced that he will arrest any persons unlawfully interfering with the Chinese. One of these assaulted at the Wahl's vineyard will die. Officers were searching for those who assaulted him at 1 o'clock. Idle men will be put to work picking up brick where the Masonic temple was burned. Piling up 500 bricks gives three meal tickets. That is all one man will be allowed to do each day. Forty men can work at a time. Many are going into the country to work for their board, for a few days, till grape picking begins. There will be no trouble in finding work for all men now in Fresno but no more men are needed and if they come they will not be given employment.
