New California Discoveries.


Californians are stirring abost In
their mountains, providing into desert
cd canyons. looking over places in
creeks unvisited for years and picking
into Sierra hillsiles for new QUARTZ
pockets. The belief that the mother
lode of the California mines has been
discovered, since the Klondikc excite
ment set men looking, is of curious in
terest. There would be nothing sur
prising in a big lind in the Sierra any
day, says the Boston Transcript. There
are remote back country mountain
sides which have been we'll washed
down in these past forty years; whence
new placers have been developed.
May old claims and placer streams in
California and British Columbia have
never been deserted by the Chinese,
who in their unworldly wisdom are
content to wash u a few cents q day,
and live in peace or a little rice.

ness of the Connecticut Fire Insurance
Company of this city recently.
A house was set OH fire by a bathtub
and the tub was set on fire by a pouitice.
\ man in a Western city was suffering
from a bad cold and his wife, at the
doctors orders, prepared n poultice for
his chest. When she started to put 1t
on it proved to be too hot. Accordingly
She took it to the bathroom and set 1t
into the bathtub to cool. This happened
to be a fine tub lined with celluioid,
which served as a sort of enamel. The
heat of the poultlce started the cellu.o;d
a.golng and the burning tub set things
going generally. The department was
called out and the house was well wet

pay. This, so far as is known, is the
