An old man was refused insurance by
: a company because he was 81 years old.
"What of thatp' he cried, look at your
statistics: fewer people die at "a than
at any other age" You see he was
right but not reasonablei So, you are
right when you say that you can get
along with that old suit, but it would
be better to call on Jos. Platt, the Pho
neer Clothier of Carson, and get an
up-to-date suit at a low price.
The Indian arrested at Los Angeles
is not Joe Pete. Joe Pete was killed in
Alpine county, as published at the
time, without doubt. An inquest was
held the day after his death and dozen
men who knew the murderer saw him
buried. The photographs sent here OF
the Los Angeles Indian were seen Mon
day by Charley Grover and he says
they bear no resemblance to Joe Pete.
Grover knew Joe Pete well, having
seen him almost daily in Alpine county
few years ago.
Several new and very rich strikes
have been made at Tonopah the past
week, and the opinion prevails among
mining men that the camp is sure to
: become one of the richest on the
Pacific coast. The ore is very rich and
the deposits extensive. Assays go as
high as $4,000 ton, and average 5000.
The last discovery was made in the
} heart of the town and the shaft is Sc
thickly surrounded by buildings that
the dirt has to be hauled away as fast
as hoisted.
The Standard Electric Company ex-
poets to employ $50 men at Blue Lakes
this season. The Union Reservoir Co.
of Angels Camp, which controls the
most extensive reservoir sites in the
mountains, commenced putting in new
dams last year and will continue the
work this summer They expect tc
employ 100 or more men. The mining
companies at Loope will employ a
number of men, and altogether, prob
E ably 500 men will find employment in
Alpine county this summer.
If there is one period throughout the
year which is fraught with more pain,
J more misery and more disaster than
any other, it is house-cleaning time. A
, parlor stove usually costs $40 and
weighs half a ton, and there are some
bedsteads which always carry the con-
viction-with them that they were pur-
chased and put in place before the
house was built, and the house con-
structed around them; but when house
cleaning time arrives everything must
be removed. And the reward is a cold
dinner, or several of them, and bottle
of arnica. The housekeeping malady
is worse than pneumonia or smallpox.
When woman gets this complaint,
the gods of Olympus shudder, and the
man of the house wishes he was child
again Terror, frenzy and despair are
in the wind, and horror perVadeth the
