SILVER CITY, N. M., Jan. 28.—Three banks closed their doors in Silver City this morning within a half an hour of each other, and a fourth bank in county, the Bank of Tyrone, closed soon thereafter.
This leaves Grant county, richest in the state in assessments, without a bank
The three Silver City banks which closed today were the Silver City National Bank, the American National Bank and the Silver City Savings Bank.
The latter was a subsidiary institution of the Silver City National. The Tyrone bank was closely affiliated with the Silver City National. The closing of the Silver City National was caused by heavy demands for funds on deposit.
Similar demands were made upon the American National.
