HOW SAN DIEGO KEPT ALIVE.

San Diego thrives on the verdancy of
outsiders by keeping up continual excite
ment. One day it is the reclamation of
the adjacent desert that is going to elevate
it to metropolitan greatness the next day
great trans continental railroad is to make
its Pacific terminus at;;San Diego and make
it the port of the cost. The next day, in
compliance with the requirements of the
law, few laborers with scrapers are put
to work, and this is headed as the energetic
commencement of work on the great rail.
road at San Diego. At another time the
touching of mail steamer at San Diego is
mentioned with stunning heads. And so
the game goes on. The last dodge to at
tract attention and obtain gratuitous adver
tising for San Diego is stuffed story about
the Cabling of its entire waterfront by
some railroad company or other, as thoug ID
said water front had any uses beyond that
of being spot upon which the waves may
splash, periwinkles fatten, and the deluded
Fastener bathe his body in the brine of
the Pacific. The San Diego sham is the
the most Transparent humbug of which
we have any knowledge; it would have
been pricked long ago but for the admira-
tionthe smart playing Of it has elicited.-

SUPPOSED MURDER.

A man by the name Of George Crooks,
who formerly lived at Dog Greek, but late

Nor GROWING Observation-Disclosures.
ing the wholesale denuDciation with which
pessimists visit the present age, on account
of the prevalence of immortality in public
and private life, careful observation, CON-
parison, and cool philosophical reflection
seem to demonstrate that we are not alto
gether so bad as we seem. The quick ex-
posure of crime and publicity given through

doers in every station of life make current

ity any that has gone before Examiner.
There is no more crime in this age than
in any of the preceding for centuries

Wooster, Ohio, in 1927. The following
year they removed to Wilmington, Ohio
thence in 1889 to Van Buren county, Iowa,
where they lived 80 years. In 1869 they
came to Shasta county, Cal, where one OF
their sons, Ezekiel Thatcher, we'll known to
many of your readers has resided many
years. They have lived here since that
time with the exception of one visit to their
former home in Iowa. And during these
years they, by courteousness and genial
disposition, have won such host Of friends

RICH ORE.-Sometime ago Baker, En-
gle, Rothwell, Hubbard and Higgiuboth-
am, commenced running tunnel into the
mountain side with the intention OF testing
the Dubuque quartz ledge in Igo district
in THE western part of this County
Last week the tunnel reached the distance
of seventy feet when the ledge, which crops
out on the surface above, was tapped. On
cutting through the ledge it was found to
beifve feet in thickness, and the quartz is
thickly impregnated with silver. Native
silver is found all through the rock, and
the owners of tie miue think they have
struck something that beats Comstock If
their mine was only situated in Idaho, Ar
izonia, or some some other God forsaken
country, the kittle bellied capitalists of San
Francisco would be crazy to purchase it.
