The PHoToGRAPH FAMILY RECoRD.-The Pho
tograph Family Record is work that should
find place in every home in the land. II is an
elegant Oil chromo photograph Album and
Family Record combined, of the highest finish
and of most tasteful design. The subject is al
legorical in its nature; there are scenes repre-
senting the four principal periods of life, name
ly childhood, youth, manhood and old age;
these scenes are ingeniously and prettily group
ed together, and are surrounded by handsome
framework of blue, gold and flowers, in which
there are eight oval openings or spaces of the
proper size for the insertion of ordinary photo
graphs. Under these openings are blank spaces
for the autographs, dates of birth, ETC.. of those
whose pictures are intended to be placed above.
1t is lovely home adornment and a pleasant
reminder Of the loved ones living and dead. All
who have seen it express both pleasure and sat
sfaction at its beauty and originality of design.
The grouping of its figures and the scenery
surrounding them are lifelike and natural 1t
must be seen to be fully appreciated and under
stood. Its low price (Sl.50) places it within
the reach of all. 1t is mailed, postpaid, to
any address receipt of the price by the Bev-
erly Company, 978 Wabash Ave, Chicago. See

QUARTZ MINEs.-At the Crater mine, notwith-
standing the very sad accident which happened
there in the early part Of the week, work is pro-
crossing finely, and every day developes addi-
tional proofs that this is soon to be one of the
best mines in the State.
At the Bellevue large force is employed daily
hosting, with their new machinery rock, which
in richness, is thought will yield as well as that
taken from the Crater. This mine is not yet so
deep as the Crater; when it is, the best miners
think it will prove to be as good as the latter in
every respect. We shall hope SO, for few such
mines as the Crater is all we want to insure pros
perity in this quartz mining district.
The Orleans is not fully developed yet as
either of the above named Mines but so far as
they have gone it rather eclipses any mine yet
opened in this part of the country. We have
seen numerou us specimens from this mine,
which show plenty of free gold and which nat
urally inclines us to the belief that the rock
must be very rich. But Mr.. Gordon, who has
the mine bounded, seems rather reticent on the
subject We pumped him some the other day,
but about all we could bring out was that he
had as good o thing as he wanted, and he
thought the rest Of the world ought to be satis-

fell into spring few yards from the door, and
was drowned. His mother, who usually kept Il
keen eye to his whereabouts, on account of the
many trains of cars passing close by the house,
soon missed the child She at once began n
search for him, and after inquring at the vari-
Gus neighbors in vain, she returned home, to
hunt more etfectuGlly about the house. but on
passing by the spring, she happened to look in,
and there, to her horror discovered the body OF
her darling child. He was at once taken out
and was found to he cold in death. There hap
pened to be a board in the spring, crosswise,
about six inches under the water, on which the
body rested which, though while keeping the
main portion of the body above water, admitted
the head to sink beneath the surface in which
position the child must have styangled in few
moments. 1t is sad loss, in which, though
strange, one cannot think of without feeling a
pang of deep sympathy for the bereaved
parents. The child was buried at Colfax yes

PRoF. PEUMMER will give one of his inimta-
bic parlor entertainments this evening at
the Court House, in Auburn. We can't describe
the professors readings, for they are perfectly
indescribable. But we can say this, that those
who fail to hear him, miss, perhaps, the rarest
treat in the way of literary entertainment they
will ever have the privilege of enjoying. The
professor advertises that "a voluntary dona-
ton of an American - dollar will be cheer
fully extorted from each of the audience on en-
terlng the Hail. He further adds that par
ties inviting friends between the ages of three
weeks and four months will be required to make
a deposit of Sl1.00 per cherub as a guarantee
that they will not applaud where the applause
does not come in" From here the professor
goes to Colfax, Gold Run, Dutch Flat, and from
there We don't know what will become of him.

PLACER COUNTY RE- UNIoN.-W have just re-

siding within the limits of the San Francisco
fog storms, have resolved upon having another
grand reunion, to be held at Badgers Park,
Oakland, on the 10th day of next May. The de-
tails have not been made public yet, but it is fair
to presume that we old stay-at-homes will in due
time receive cordial invitation to go down
there and get our hair frosted with the salt wa
ter dews from the Pacific, and our hearts elate d
by the happy greetings of old friends, and the
good things prepared for all. 1t is remarkable
what energy people display after living awhile
in this county It's all owing to the climate.
Let man live in Placer county awhile, and he
becomes SO full of good health and good feel
lngs that reunion or some other jollifcation,
to give vent to his pentup spirits at least once
year, becomes essential to his continued health.

prehensions were not unfounded,
for last evening a most extensive
"cave-ino of the mine occurred ,ex-
ceeding in extent the fall at the
Baltimore mine short time since.
Great CONSERVATION prevails in
the neighborhOod of the mine.

the dangerous proximity. The
fire now has full scope and threat
rens to ruin utterly one of the
most valuable possessions of the
newly-formed Wilkesbarre and
