Ed Casey showed us rare coin
this week that rather out classed any
thing we have seen in that line. The
piece Is OF gold and its gold value is
1903, though it does not show on it's
face what its denomination is. 1t is
somewhat larger in diameter than
Eve dollar piece but is thinner. On
one side is the Liberty head, the
words Liberty" at the top and at
the bottom the date, 1900. Between
these are thirteen stars, arranged
eight on one side and five on the
other. On the reverse side is the
eagle and shield surrounded by the
words ''United States of America. "
The coin is very rare and Mr. Casey
has heen offered 500 for it. -Propsect.

UNCONSCIOUS condition at the base of
a tree at the Hazel Dell mine, near
Middle Camp. 1t was seen that his

tnat his body was close to that point.
He was almost hid under covering
Of sDow. He was taken to the Clark
ranch and administered to, but little
could be done to revive him. From
there he was conveyed to the county
hospital. 1t was learned that he had
been employed at the Riverside mine
above Italian Bar. He passed Satur
day afternoon at the latter place, leav
ing there at II O'Clock that night on
his return to the mine. In the dark
ness and hampered by the storm he
wandered from the trail and fell ex-
hausted at the place where he was
found. He has weatheIed the results
of his experience and will recover,
the careful nursing and attention at
the hospital being sufficient to
oounteract the effects of the coldness
to his system. Banner.

Word was received here Saturday |
that the old man who has lived on
the GardelIa ranch, and acted as
keeper since the tenants left. was
missing. Parties from here went to
search, but could find no trace of
him until they took the old mans dog
to aid in the search. He led them
to an old shaft, and a man was lower
ed down into the hole, where the
body of the old man was found in an
upright position with only the top of
his head out of the water: he had
been dead fol some time. The body
was brought to town and an inquest
held, the verdict being that the de-
ceased had come to his death by acci
dentally falling into the shaft and
drowning. AS the last time he was
seen alive was when he visited an old
friend at the Gumbo mine. several
