Pete Peterson narrowly escaped
being killed yesterday while clearing
land on the townsite at this place, on
the bank of the river near the bridge
Peterson having built fire against
an old dead cottonwood stub, which
was about 25 feet high, was cutting
and piling brush on the fire when
without any warning whatever, the
tree fell, striking him as he was stoop-
ed over in the act of picking up brush
and almost crushing his life out. 1t
was sometime before he knew what
had happened and the only thing that
saved his life was the tree being SO
rotten it fell light.

ESSEX.

Special Correspondence of the Bee:
H. Kinds, former night operator at
Summit, has resigned his position.
A trapper coming in from the noun
tains, gives very interesting account
of the discovery of most mysterious
canyon about 60 miles to the north
east of here, which is very beautiful
and covers a long hidden mystery.
The canyon is some $50 or 200 feet
in depth, with perpendicular walls. To
the eastward from this stretches a
plateau of about 200 acres, and is.
at all times free from snow. In going
westward toward the canyon, this plat
eau draws in to breadth of about 30
feet, between two large mountains. At
this point is found this canyon. the
bottom Of which is entirely covered
with the bones of various animals.
The depth of the bones found here is
about three feet.
Some time in the early days, this
plateau and canyon were used by the
Indians as trap for buffalo elk, ETC.
After finding a herd of buffalo grazing
on the plateau it would be very easy
matter for 20 or 30 Indians with ponies
to ride in from the eastward, causing
the buffalo to stampede to the west
ward and upon being closely followed
all the herd would leap over the pre-
cipice to certain death.

RENTS HIGH IN CALCUTTA
Suggestions to Americans to Invest
in Apartment Houses

Consul Patterson, in a letter 10 the
State Department from Calcutta. saws
there is fine opportunity for investments
in hotels and apartment houses there.
Says he:
The congested condition OF the Euro
pean quarter of Calcutta is such that
rents are eXtrayagantIy high. and vari-
Gus propositions are being discussed for
its relief, among others the building of
suburban residences, several miles out. TO
be reached by electric tramways; but this
would not prove satisfactory, as the peo-
pie here prefer to live in the city.
If building company with sufficient
capital would come here ard erect first
class apartment houses, such as We have
in New York and other large cities. of
six or eight stories not more, as the
ceilings must be high on account of the
hot climate with elevators and all mod
ern improvements, they would be taken
by Government officials and merchants at
a large rental
The poole here ara too conservative
to start such enterprise, but those re
curing apartments would soon see the ad-
vantages over ordinary dwellings in
cheaper rates and In requiring fewer
servants; besides. as many residents go
10 the hills during the hot months. the
rooms could be left in charge Of janitors
more easily than houses.
Where ground is as costly as it is in
the European quarter of Calcutta. on ac-
count OF its limited area, apartment hOuS-
es properly constructed would bring the
desired relief and be paying Investments
A dwelling house. such as is regarded first
class OF TWO or three stories. with a good
sized compound (ground), rents for from
$1,000 TO $3.50 per annum

It and 10 elevators or other modern i'm
