NEW YORK, April%3.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Important proposals relative to the
surrender of all the insurgents in the
Philippines have been made by Aguin-
aldo, through Gen. Macarthur, to the
United States.
The proposals were brought before
the Cabinet Meeting and at its conclu-
sion instructions in reply to them
were sent by Secretary Root. The
President will not bargain with
Aguinaldo, but if the prisoner will use
his influence, the United States will
welcome his aid, and will consider his
conduct when determining the future
of the prisoner.

The Lady Dentist.

DR.. Annie r. Dawson, the lad y
dentist, who is at present quartered at
the New National, is said to be one of
the most skillful dentists in the country,
and has reputation second to none,
and wherever she has been she is
spoken of in terms of the highest
praise. Her work is done in the best
style of this art and is of the most SUBJ
stantial character. She is spoken of in
terms of great praise by people of posi-
ton and character, and the people of
this town and vicinity should avail
themselves of her services, and we as
sure them that they will get good
work. We know whereof we speak,
for our information is gained from the
most trustworthy source; from those
for whom she has done work and we're
surprised at the character of work and
the reasonable price she charged. We
visited the lady at her apartm ents at
the New National, and find that she
carries with her, in her travels, all OF
the most modern appliances. She ie
most pleasant and affable, and will
cause all who meet her to leave With
the impression that they have met a
lady as we'll as finished workwoman.

A Pioneer Gone.

P. A. Clute, the pioneer merchant of
Volcano, died in San Francisco on Sun
day morning last. He had been ailing
for about year, from an affection of
the liver, which was thought to be in
the nature of a cancer. For some
weeks he had been confined to his bed.
Last week he was conveyed to San
Francisco, with the intention of seek
ing relief by surgical operation.
On Saturday last the surgeons made
an exploratory incision, and at once
realized that to proceed with the opera
ton would DO necessarily fatal. The
patient, however, never rallied from
the shock of the preliminary operation,
and died the following morning. It
vas thought by his friends when he
left Volcano, that the chances were
strongly against his returning alive.
His brother Frank, from whom he had
been estranged for years, in face of the
probability that he would never see
him again in life, shook him cordially
by the hand, and bade him an affec-
tionate farewell.
Deceased's son and daughter were
With him in his last hours. His wife
and another daughter left Sunday
morning, and his son, John F. Clpte,
who has been attending the store dur.
Ing his fathers sickness, left Monday
morning for the city, to attend the
funeral.

Mining Notes.

Defender-Geo. W. Horn, who has
been in San Francisco for the purpose
of interesting capitalists in the mines OF
the upper section of the county, re-
turned last Sunday. He was accom-
panied by W. M. Gwin, formerly OF
the Gwin mine. They both left for
Defender district Monday morning. If
satisfied with the prospects, Mr.. Gwin
will probably take an interest in the
Defender property. Another gentle
man from San Francisco, Mr.. Bryant,
also went up with them. for the pur-
pose of investing in the mines of that
neighborhood. The Defender is down
300 feet. In places the ore body is
over 10 feet wide. 1t has paid on an
average about SIS per ton. 1t needs
opening up, however, to put it on a
paying basis. Mr.. Horn estimates that
$40, 900 will have to be spent in order
to properly open out the mine.
Amador-Phoenix-S. G. Spagnoli,
who is interested in the Amador-
Phoenix mine, reports that on last
Sunday he visited the mine and made a
personal inspection of the works. Mr..
Spagnoli brought away with him some
very rich rock, which will assay up in
the hundreds. The company is erect
ing a ten stamp mill, which will be
ready to start up in about thirty days.
The mill will be the most substantial
one in the county as it is being con-
atr uotOd wtUn larger granIGe D1ocKs,
which necessarily makes the work pro-
gress slowly. The indications are that
the Amador-P will prove to be a
fine producing property. They have
a number of men employed now, and
as soon as the mill is ready, it will
necessitate the employment of quite a
number of additional men.

itself as fixture. Some time ago one
of the ladies opened the pantry door
and found the snake curled up on the
floor. She made an attempt to kill it
but it got away. At other times since,
it has been seen about the place. The
family have been troubled with mice,
but all of a sudden they apparently
ceased to exist. Mr.. McSorley saw the
snake one morning this week scudding
across the kitchen floor with a mouse
held in its jaws. Now they no longer
try to kill the snake, as it keeps the
place clear of mice. The gopher snake
is harmless and lives upon rodents Of
different kind. Citizen.

j. V. Belluomini was down from his
mountain range in Alpine county last
week. He reports that about $50 feet
of the embankment was washed out
when the dam of the lower Blue lake
gave way recently. Fully one-third of
the water of the Blue lakes system was
lost by the disaster. 1t is not thouah t,
however, that there will be any scarci.
ty of water this season, as the snowfall
was unusually heavy last winter.
Men have been put to work repairing
the break. lately, they have come to
staudstill owing to failure to deliver
the pipe. 1t is doubtful if the break
can be fully repaired this season, al.
though every effort will be made to
that end. Mr.. Belluomini was all over
Clover valley, the nearest point where
the waters from the broken dam would
spread out. He informs US that he
saw no dead fish there as a Stockton
paper has published. AS for bears and
other wild animals having feast on the
fish left stranded by the receding
waters, the wild animals are not so
plentiful in that region. The whole
story is myth.
Fresh cakes can be had at CANT
netti's Central Market at all times.
