 STRIKE IN PLACER DIGGINGS.- Joel Wkite, who came in a few days ago fEcm MOrrist0n, reports a placer strike near that camp. A placer miner digging down t5 bedrock threw out a shOYeHul of dirt when he mo- ticed something glittering in the shovel. It proved to be a nuggec and E valued at $39. He discovered 8 few mere, of smaller size, however, and proceeded to locate claims. Consider abe excitement resulted and adjoining claims were soon located. Placer dig gings in that locality have been good but 10 nuggets of apDreciable size have hitherto been found. Whether the discovery indicates the diggings to be unifc-mly rich is matter which awaits developments.
 HARD WORKED PROPOSITION. - "A proposition,'' said a man yester- day, lis q thing calculated to run c man crazy. 1 think Webster stumbled on the word, and ever since 1t is word promiscuously applied to any | thing which cannot be classified by q limited vocabulary. Anything kindred i to mining is proposition. It's l proposition for a man to get mar Tied and still another Then he gets di- Yorced. It's Q hard proposition for 3 man to tell where his next meal is coming from and if he fails tc get that meal it's the worst kind of q 1 proposition. Altogether the express ion is oyerworked, and l have stood it long enough. I heard man call religion q proposition the other day. I'm sick and tired of that word, prop osition.
 WHY HE WANTED \ DIVORCE. Among the divorce cases in which decrees were granted in district court last Saturday was that of Rcsjno vs. R0sjno. Tle husband was the plain tiff. His complaint was wierd ac- cusing his wife of extreme cruelty in that she called him a name which cannot be printed. She applied thai name to him habitually The com plaint was supported by the testimony of one witness who was quite familiar with the happenings of the RosjnO household. This witness said that Mrs. ROsjn0 was in the habit Of rOus- ing her husband from his early morn ing slumbers, shouting that epithet in his ear. She always lullad him to sleep with it and used to wake him in 5ae middle of the night to tell him what he was. Then she kept repeat ing t to him all day long
 HE SAW \ GHOST. W. T. Barr. who lives on the Black canyon road, saw q ghost late on Saturday night He was on his way home CT his wheel and when in front Of the 0!9 rest house Q 2 hi was a gigantic figure in white. Mir Barr thought iC was about seven feet tall and corr6spondiDgl broad It m glt have exceeded seven feet by some odd inches, but an even seven feet was approximately close enough for MT Barr. He is not a s-a,-istician and crank about getting things which do not directly concern him down to a dct. The sheeteI figure was carading back and forth in front of the pest house and Mr Barr had as good view of 1t as one could get while hitting only the nigh places in the road. He was not greatly interested ln ghosts, and as it was getting late he hurried Cn home
