 The man named Lazarus, in PheniX who has shown such an antipathy to whistling, by assaulting every one he hears indulging in this pastime, and who is now under arrest there for as sualting a man who was whistling is thought to be a man who committed murder in Sacramento in 1897. The description of the murderer fits Lazarus to a dot, even to his opposi- tion to whistling.

 "A train every time the clock strikes" is the taking motto with which Philadelphia and Reading ticket sellers at Philadpelia can an swer the question, "How often do trains run to New York;" or, "When does the next New York train leave?"

 A correspondent furnishes the fol | lowing mining item from Squaw Peak mining district: If some of those mining men with lots of money to | spend would come down and look at | this little district they might find a | good investment for some of their | ready cash.

Then | there are some claims owned by R. Thompson and others that has as fine | on as a man would likely | find on any of the rich mines any where. H. J. Allen owns a group of claims at the north end of the mineral zone that needs no advertising. There are others that have good claims here. l.. M. Olden has two groups here and he can show some rich ore in num- Der of places on his claims. The whole country is copper and silver and you can find the float any. where
