LIFE INSURANCE.
The Very Best and Cheapest, Offered
to the People OF Wood River.

Every man owes it to himself and
to tn use dependent upon him, to car
ry life insurance in an amount sufti-
cient to secure his loved ones against
want, in case of his death. And he
should see to it that his insurance is
got at the lowest possible figure, in a
company or association that CANNOT
FAIL.
The Security Mutual Benefit Socie-
ty, for which Joseph A. Rupert is
agent for Alturas county, offers the
best insurance AT COST. In this So
ciety a man Sc years old can secure
$1,000 insurance at a cost Of Sl1 60
per annum. If he wants $4,000, he
can secure it fer only five times tina,
amount; if he wants $4,000, he can
secure it by paying ten times SLIGO
per annum.
In the old-line companies the same
amount of insurance would cost from
TWO to TEN times as much.
No other society insures as cheaply
or as securely, as the perpetuity of
this organization is guaranteed by
some Of the most substantial citizens
of New York City, under the nnlim.-
ed liability laws Of the State of New
York.
After the first Of March, the rates
will be slightly increased on ALL NEW
BUSINESS. All who wish to insure
their lives should therefore apply at

IDAHO AS 4 MINING REGION.
1t Shows More and Bette Mines than
ANY Other in tho WOr.d-The Idaho.
al Probably Sold.

The TIMES reporter had very sat
isfactory interview, yesterday, with
one of the gentlemen of the English
syndicate which purchased and is
operating the Alturas Gold Limited
at Rocky Bar, the Wide West group
at the same place, the Garfield, the
Orc Elmo at Silver City, Owyhee, and
other properties.
This gentleman, while admitting
that he was looking into the Idahoan
property with the view of purchasing,
did not say that he had bought it,
although the reporter understood,
from the tenor Of his remarks, that
the transfer was about as good as
made, and that the syndicate intended
to subscribe at once, in addition to
the purchase money, f40,0OO Cor
$2O0,0J0) for wo. king capital. This
was just double what Superintendent
Chiils informed the purchasers would
be required to put the mine upon a
dividend-paying basis.
II must say" continued the gentle
man, "that although I have travelled
all over the world, I never saw "a
country or region as prolific in mines
as Idaho. You seem to have mineral
in every ravine or gulch, and in every
mountain. Your region is but surface
scratched, yet you have more and bet
ter mines, than IN any other mining
region which l visited, and about
which much more stir is made. Your
Gold Belt, l fear, is hardly developed
enough to Justify me in taking hold
of it to any extent; but as soon as the
snow is off the ground | will come
back, and see if there is anything
suitable for my people. However,
and whether l return or not, you need
have no fears about your future. In.
vestors are getting to know of Idaho
and YOU will soon have a market foi
all your meritorious properties. Oh
course, you know, paying, going
properties, are what l mean; as no
body wants wildcats"
The gentleman left yesterday OF
the south bound train.

Frank Dalton of San Francisco, have pur-
chased 920 acres of land between Rocklin
and Penryn, in Placer county, which they
intend to clear for planting to fruit. Three
ten-acre orange groves will be set out at
once, one near Rocklin, another three
quarters of mile from Loomis and third

character of the men making it is consid-
cred. Mr.. Hatch is the President of the

most extensive fruit-growers in the State,
and knows more about its fruit lands than
any other man in the community. When

trees upon it the first year. ]. K. Armsby

in Chicago and is well known on this coast

ing citizen and fruit-grower in Placer

ity has advanced rapidly in the past few
days. 1t is said that the same parties at
tempted to get some more land there day
! or two after their first purchase, but thu

A Man Found on the Street in q Dying
Condition.
About half an hour after midnight last
night man named Young, said to be q
carpenter and man of dssoluts habits,
was taken to the station-house in hack.
He as in an unconscious condition at the
time and the driver of the hack said he
was found on the sidewalk near the Lafay-
cite (Gibson's) Saloon, on the south side Of
K street, between Third and Fourth.
Officer Leavy assisted in having the poor
unfortunate taken into the Receiving Hos
pital, but before physician could be sum-
moned. or anything done for his relief, he
died. The officers say the deceased was
well-known to the police as one who was
given to drink, and it is possible
that his death was caused by alcoholism.
Yet it may be that he was the victim of
some of the dope-fiends that infest certain
parts of the city and who are ready at any
time to take q mans life if there is pros
pect of thereby making a quarter of
dollar.
1t is to be hoped that the inquest by the
Coroner will clear the mystery and clearly
establish the fact whether or not the un-
fortunate mans death was the result of
his own debaucheries or the work of thugs.
