HO! FOR DANBURY FAIR,

HOi FOR DANBURY FAIR.
 This week Danbury fair claims the time, attention and attendance of all here who have the desire and means for get ting there and home again. Although many have been there for years previous there seems to be the same inclination possess them as the year comes round to go again. The crowd, the display and exhibition, the excitement of seeing ev- erybody who has been there before or is liable to be there, the "merry-go-round," :" the dog show, the photograph tent and the racing. All work their spell and draws the thousands there annually, although many return every year feeling as though they cared but little for mingling in such a jam and crowd again. The ladies es- pecially seem to have that strange vacil- lating experience. They will declare at the close of this week they "believe they will never go to Danbu"y fair again, es- pecially certain days of the week any way" but next year if alive three out of five of them will probably be seen there again at the same time of the week, prov ing cOnclusively that we are all human, moved by impulse and sensation and when "with the Romans do as the Ro- l mans Cor fairists) do."

Southern California
 
Almond Culture.

In these times of anxiety and uncertainty in trade and investments the inquirers seek ing to know about the prospects in Southern California have doubled. It is, perhaps, the only place in our country where intelligent, cultivated people can command comforta- ble income from 10 acres, without hard labor, and have most of the time besides. Itis done by fruit and nut culture. The most beautiful and refined homes and the wealthiest co m munities, per capita, in the United States, are found in Southern California. As an invest ment there is nothing equal to it. Besides the natural increase in the value of land in a growing community, the returns of the trees come into bearing are, in some instances as much as 200 per cent net, annually.

GOLD-LADEN EARTH OTRA4AS.
1t is Believed They Exist in and
About Folsom.
The Mysterious Disappearance of a
Capitalist Who Was About
to Work Them.

In the early gold-digging days there
sessed richer surface mines than Folsom
and vicinity, but the searchers for the
precious metal only skinned the surface
of the ground. There are not few per-
sons who have always held to the theory
that there are better deposits of gold
down deeper than the early-day placer
miners were content to go with their
pick -and-pan appliances. In reference
10 this matter the Folsom Telegraph Of
Saturday says:
THE oft-repeated assertion of old
miners, long resident in the vicinity OF
Folsom, that there is as good mining
ground around here as there ever was,
seems to be verified by the finding and
opening Of several paying claims OF late.
1t is claimed, however, By experienced
parties, that the true deposit OF riches lies
deeper beneath the surface, and that it
requires greater amount OF capital to
extract The golden treasure than is pos
sessed by the local miners.
= ears back a gentleman by the name
of Dolman came to Folsom, and with the
aid OF Weu-bOring machine began pros
pecting on the bank of the American
River back of Chinatown. Boring hole
through some thirty feet of lava deposit
he encountered bed of large cobbles,
through which it was very difficult to
force d passage, they having to be broken
with heavy swedges and removed in
pieces. The drill then passed through a
slX-foot layer of pure white sand, which
Is used III the manufacture Of glass.
AT the depth of eighty feet DOlman
found a four-foot strata of gold bearing
sulphates, which assayed s. 90 to the pan,
Passing through various stratas of aurif-
erous gravel, at the depth of Il2 feet he
found granite bedrock, first, however,
passing through six feet of pay gravel.
which was fabulously rich, yielding So to
the pan.
Fully satisfied with the result of his
prospecting, the only drawback being
the large volume of water to be over
come, and claiming he would soon be
able to afford employment to some 600
men, he went TO New York City and
organized a company. Receiving in
formation which led him to believe he
could purchase the needed pumping and
hosting machinery to the best advantage
in Boston, he drew $4,000 of the sub
scrlptlOn funds from the bank in which it
was deposited, and left for that city. He
was never heard Of again, although every
effort possible was made to ascertain his
whereabouts or whether he was dead or
alive.
That he was victim of foul play is
evinced by the fact that he was wealthy,
and his private bank account was several
times more than the sum he had in his
possession when he disappeared. With
out the leading spirit the company made
no move, and one Of probably, the rich
est deposits of gold in the State still
lies buried beneath the debris of ages,
awaiting the application of capital and
enterprise"
