MINING STOCK IS VALUELESS.

The batch of notes found among the Parker bank assets, aggregating some 911,000 and signed by John A. Clark, who is alleged to have sold considerable copper mining stook - about Remington during the past few years, was considered worthless by the appraisers, as was also the wagon load of stock certificates of Various description found in the bank. Clark oas been connected with tbe bank In a clerical position for the past few years and it’s believed was a partner with Mr. Parker in selling mining stook, but how he should get indebted to the bank for any such amount —why Parker would loan him any such amount —is one of the unexplained mysteries of the bank failure. The appraisers considered all the mining stook of too little value to list even, and it does not appear on the appraisement sheets at all, we are told.
