Annual Meeting Of the jackson

Annual Meeting Of the jackson
Company.
At the annual meeting of the Jack
son Mining Company held in San
Francisco or the oath instant, the old
officers were reelected as follows;
J. d. Fry, President; A. X. p. Har.
mon, Robert Sherwood, C. l.. Weller
and Charles Z. Elliot, Trustees |; III.
G. Kibbe, Secretary. The financial
report of the Secretary shows that the
year was begun with a cash balance
of $3,737 receipts from assessments,
$15,217 ; from ore sold, S1O,O87; from
w. Is. Hughes, S4,054. The disburse-
ments were $50, 124 including S17,4 400
for labor, 1854 for mining, So, 742 for
general ard office expenses. The
amount of cash on hand at the end
of the year was 1911. The report of
the superintendent shows an economi-
cal management of the mine during
the year under discouraging efforts
to find valuable deposits Of ore. The
greatest verticle depth of the shaft
is $50 feet: The ore found at the lowest
points is fully as rich as that near the
surface, but the deposits are small,

THE New SMELLING PRoCEss.-We
learn that a contract has just been
executed between Colonel Robbins
and DIR. Mckinney for the building of
a furnace at the old Buttercup works.
The capacity is to be forty tons per
day, and the charge for smelling 81
per ton. No time will be lost in push
ing forward the work, and it is con-
fl Identity asserted that in about twenty
days We will see the Stevens smelter
in practical operation. Either a great
revolution in the reduction of base
pres is about to be accomplished or
many shrewd men have been woe
fully befOOled. Time will prove all
things, and this among the others.
RICH ORE. b. Osborne returned
yesterday from an inspection of the
Geddes Il Bertrand mine in Secret
Canyon, and brought a very fine piece
of horn silver ore with him. It ap-
pears that the main shaft is down 14O
feet, and drifts are being extended
from the bottom of it. Though large
bodies of good ore have been in sight
for sometime in the deepest works, it
is only within the last day or two that
the very high grade metal has come
in. We are pleased to chronicle a de-
velOpment which promises 50 much
JOr our neighbOring district, already
famous for its rich ore.
ALARM OF FlRE.-At about 8 o'clock
yesterday morning an alarm Of fire
was sounded on North Main street.
The triangle of the Hook and Ladder
Company was also vigorously beaten
for a while. y great many people
were aroused from their slumbers,
but fortunately their services were
not needed. The fire originated in a
Chinese waSh-house, and at n time
promised to result in the entire de-
struction of the chebang. 1t didn't,
nominal. Officer Murphy discovered
and subdued the flames.
POLICE Observation-Disclosures John
Murphy publishes a notice in our
advertising columns which is of inter-
est to our business men. He holds an
appointment from Constable Bell as
night Waterman, and he is OF the
opinion that he has as good q right to
serve in that capacity as anyone else.
At all events, he will continue on duty
as usual. and Will also, at the proper
time, make collections for his services.
All agree that Mr.. Murphy has made
a vigilant and efficient officer.
BURGLAR EsCAPED.-Sheritf Sulli-
van Yesterday received a note from
Sheriff Patterson, of White Pine
stating that a burglar by the name Of
John Ellis had escaped from the
Hamilton Jail. The note also stated
that Ellis formerly lived i'll Eureka.
Deputy Sheriff Mike Walsh went out
on "a sort of scouting expedition yes
terday evening in search of the fugl-
tive, but at last accounts he had moi
succeeded in striking his trail.
THE KENTUCK MINE.-The Eureka
Mining Company has two shifts at
work on the tunnel which is being
run to strike this ledge. The inten-
ton is to carry the tunnel $50 feet in
the hill, at which point it ought to
cut the lode at a depth of 24O feet.
Large quantities of high grade smelt-
ing ore were taken from this mine
two wears ago, and there is good rea-
son to believe that ere long it will be
more productive than eve
