''San Francisco Chronicle'' newspaper dated 24 April 1906. The article headed ''Fifteen Million In Gold For the City Banks'' addressed the fear that banks would move out of town and investment financing needed for rebuilding would be lost. At this time, bank vaults heated by the fire following the 18 April magnitude 7.9 earthquake were still cooling and could not be opened, restricting available funds. The 8 page newspaper measuring 17'' x 23'' shows significant toning and chipping, else very good.
