Its deposits at that time were about $80,000. On the fifteenth ultimo, by reason of the expiration of its original charter, a new one extending its existence for another twenty years was received from the Comptroller. During the twenty years of its existence its line of deposits, as is shown by its last statement, has grown to over $1,100.000. A most flattering showing, in view of the fact that no interest is paid on deposits. Passing through the panic periods of 1893 and 1907 unscathed, it is pursuing and will continue to pursue its ultra conservative policy that has contributed so much to its prestige. In the future, as in the past, it will al- ways be found in the van in anything that makes for the upbuilding of Tucson. Marking the second mile-post of its chartered existence, and to keep pace with the growth of its home, as soon as the necessary legal formalities can be complied with, the clultal stock and surplus of the bank will each be doubled. giving a capital and surplus of $200,000, thereby doubling the security given the depositor.
