much priced by well dressed ladies.

viable reputation for taste and skill

1t Is not a pleasing reflection that
sooner or later the grim monster,
death, will lay violent hands upon us
all and require us TO pass in our
checks, but there is some consolation
IN the thought that after we have
shuffied off our mortal coil there will
be someone left with sufficient skill
and proper appliances to bury us de-
Gently out of sight. While Allen
Durfee lives, the people of Grand
Rapids need not hustle too lively TO
keep beyond the reach of the great
reaper's sickle, through fear that they
will not receive proper interment.
They can eat, drink and be merry, for
If they die tomorrow Mr.. Durfee will
attend TO the subsequent ceremonies,

the excellence OF It's work that is sec
ond to none in the city. 1t is located
at No. - South Division street, and

work, and those who patronize him
not only get their orders promptly
filled, but are sure that the most im-
proved machinery and the most

ton commonly raised to laundry
work by house-keepers Is that shirts,
collars, cuffs. etc, become yellow and
get a grayish hue after having been
.aundried few times. This Is due
IN part To imperfect washing and
partly to the use of cheap OF adulter-
ated soaps Mr.. Otte uses a method
of laundrying different from most
laundries in the west, and by using
only the best qualities Of soap, he Is
enabled 20 DO his work 80 that the
goods remain as clear and white as

A PRECIOUS PENITENTIARY.
NeVada's state Prison Resting Upon
Mammoth Lead of Gold.
[Carson Appeal, April 1eth. ]

A feeling of suppressed excitement has
been created in the community bv a re-
port which appears to be thoroughly
authenticated, that some rich gold rock
was yesterday struck in the stone quarry
at the State Prison while blasting ont
stone to be used in building the proposed
new State Printing Office.
1t has been known for years that the
sandstone composing the quarry contains
a certain quantity of gold, and some
assays have given very flattering results.
According to the report now agitating
the people, the main vein or gravel de-
posit, now turned to stone, has been
struck, and that some fabulouslv rich
rock has been taken out, and consider
able more is in sight. At present it is inn
possible to give any reasonable estimate
OF the extent of the deposit, but if it be a
true lead, as seems now apparent. it is
likely to be very great The character
lstics of the lead are said to be much the
same as those of the Great Blue Lead of
California
The discovery of this gold deposit
within the enclosure of the State Prison
is likely to lead to misunderstanding and
possibly some trouble Up to the present
time only four claims have been staked
out and filed with the mining recorder of
this district. A number of old pros-
pectors, who are quick to hear of such
things, went out last evening for the pur
pose of locating claims, but were refused
admission TO the yard by the warden.
