Old friends here will be interested to
learn of the good fortune of Frank
Musser, a one-time student at the old
Placerville Academv Besides having
abundant energy Frank was always an
optmist whose word was as good as his
bond. In spite of these characteristics,
fortune, the ickle Jade, played him
several sorry tricks. Some time after
leaving school, he married and settled
in Alpine county, where he engaged in
the grocery business, and by steady
plodding, he accumulated about $40, 000
He went to San Francisco end invested
in a business, which the earthquake
and fire completely wiped out, and he
had to begin all over again. He
wandered back to Carson Valley where
his friends grub-staked him and he went
to Godfeld, where he mined with little
success. He finally got back to Shasta
county where he found an abandoned
mine, THE Milkmad, which pros
pected we'll. The owner charged $50 600
for tie property, and Frank borrowed
S., 900 to make the first payment. Be-
fore long the mine paid for itself, and
the ore increased in value as the work
progressed. Now comes some mining
men from Nome to whom the mine was
sold recently for $500, 000 and Frank is
once more on Easy street. Paul Arnot,
son of Judge N. D. Arnot of this city,
is employed in the mine at present. Mt

firm of Solinsky u Wehe of San Fran

E. F. FLOYD, of the Prospect staff re-
ceived word this week of the death of
his mother, Mrs Margaret IA. Floyd,
which occurred in Winthrop, Main on
the 9th instant. About two years ago
she met with an accident by which she
sustained fracture of the thigh, that
owing to her advanced aged did not
unite. Since then, she had been con-
fined to a wheeled chair and the change
from an energetic life in which she had
been devoted to others, to the condition
of an invalid, dependent on others for
care, gradually sapped the fountains of
life, till finally she sank to sleep. At
the time of her death she was IS years
of age. Prospect.
County coroner &. Fl. Burden re-
ceived telephone message conveying
the news late Friday afternoon that Syl-
vester Carbon, county supervisor from
the Groveland section had killed him
SELF The deadly bullet was fired from a
revolver and passed through the brain.
The tragedy occurred at the Carlon
ranch, four miles from Groveland. The
deceased was found lying fatally
wounded in one OF the rooms of the
family home at that place, with the fatal
revolver lying at his side. The tragedy
occurred at O'Clock in the afternoon,
death resulting two hours later. No
reason can be assigned why Sylvester
Carbon should take his own life. He
was a man of unbounded good spirits,
always jolly and in the best of good
humor, and possessed of everything
worth living for, and it is more than
likely that when full particulars are OBJ
tanned it will show that death was ac-
cidental. Deceased was a native OF
California, and aged AZ years. De-
ceased had served two terms as county
supervisor from the Groveland section
and was one of the best known men in
that section of the county
