WILL NOT PAY POLICIES

The Orovile Cali Register tells the fol-
lowing gold lined story:
Mr.. Autonelle of the wealthy contract
ing firm of Autonell . Co., who took the
contract for the finishing of one mile OF
road on the Western Pacific tor the sum
of 81, 100000, IN what is known a. the
Eighteenth Mile. at Camp "a, has made a
discovery that makes him jubilant. The
mile he has contracted for is one of the
hardest on the river, and up to this time
he has had some misgivings as to its
possible completion in time. Now he
believes, and from all appearances ne is
right that he has struck an immensely
rich quartz mine
A few days ago he struck a beautiful
specimen of c~rystalized quartz. so mar
that 1t would cut glass easily. Now ne
has uncovered a quartz ledge that is
simply scanned with gold. In a piece
not larger tina ma silver dollar there was
at least so cents worth of free gold, and
other specimens showed up as richly.
looks as if an immensely rich quartz ledge
had been uncovered, and If so II will more
than repay the cost of putting through
the contract. The gentleman is certainly
very lucky If such is the case.
