To The President and Bon1 q OF Directors

2'an1ento FCttey: We, your agents, re-
spectfully submit the following report as
the result of our recent visit To the min
ing region Of Nevada, Sierra and a portion
Of PlUinaS Counties:
On Big Greenhorn we found the old
Hazel Green claim being operated by
Cinnamon, five in number. This claim
uses about 400 inches Of water under 80
feet vertical pressure, and has washed
away and into Big GreenhCrn creek an inn
mense amount OF debris the past winter.
Adjoining the claim on the south is an
other, which has been worked by China
men this winter. This latter claim has
washed out only small amount Of de
DrIS into the creek below.
In secret Diggings, on Rabbit Greek,
we found one small monitor being ope-
rated by Louis Hillman, on n bank
about ten or twelve feet in hight.
In Rabbit Creek Diggings we found one
monitor being worked by Joseph Hill
man, on a bank about ten or twelve feet
in hight.
One-half mile below Port Wine we
found one monitor working on bank
twelve or fifteen feet in hight. Just above
been set Up and worked on new ground
during this winter.
One-Quarter of mile south Of st. Louis
we found one monitor which has been
used this winter on a bank about twenty
five feet i'll hight.
One-half mile north of st. Louis we
found two monitors which have been
worked this winter on Il bank about
thirty feet in hight.
One-half mile southwest Of HOwlaDG
Flat we found one monitor which has
been worked this winter on ground about
ten or twelve feet deep.
At Scales one monitor has been work
ing in the Cleveland ground and two in
the Union ground.
On Rock Creek we found a monitor
working which was carrying 500 inches
of wafer under vertical pressure OF $50
1eet This claim is worked by Cinnamon,
who in the past two years have been
drifting. They claim that their air tuu-
mel had caved and they were trying to
open it with the pipe. Their bank is
about 800 feet high.
At Brandy City three machines have
been working in the Brandy City claim
and two in the ArnOt claim.
At Eureka North five monitors have
been working, three OF which we caught
in operation.
At Morrstown two monitors have been
working on a bank 250 feet high.
At Depot Hill one monitor we found
working on rim dirt about eight or ten
feet in depth.
At Joubert's we found two monitors at
work. He has washed off some eighteen
or twenty feet Of the main bank this win
ter.
Eleven of the foregoing we found in
active operation, and all the rest have
worked this winter. None of the afore-
said make any attempt to restrain their
debris. Respectfully submitted,

sioners granted them the exclusive priyi-
lege of constructing toll road on the

pleted, but that in 1874 the Legislature
gave the Yosemite Turnpike Company
authority TO construct q similar road in

THROUGH AMADOR.
A Glance at the Fruit and Grain
Crops There.
Many o. Them Are Light This Season
Home Consumption Neg
lected by Farmers.

Travelling Correspondence RECoRD-UEIoN.l
WALLACE, Amador County, May 31st.
The hay crop about here is unusually
good, owing to the timely rains. Perhaps
an average on land plowed and sown of
one and half tons per acre.
Grain is good in the lower valleys and
fully an average on foothills. In the vi
cinity Of Oleta and higher up it looked
yellow and sickly, owing to backward
spring and cold rains. Perhaps the warm
weather of the last few days has made a
change for the better. Corn is raised to
some extent in Jackson and lone VAL
leys. and there is a fine stand which has
just been cultivated for the first time.
Peaches have suffered badly from
curled leaf. This seems to have been
worse with clings than with freestones,
worse with white peaches than with yell
low, and far worse where land is poorly
drained.
In some places many peaches have
lately turned black at the pit and began
dropping. Growers generally ascribe
this to frost. On the uplands in many
places peaches have suffered greatly from
gum disease until some orchards look as
though they were hardly worth saving.
in short, no young orchard is worth saw
ing TO man who don't think it worth
careful attention.
Apples-In the higher attitudes where
Amador's fine mountain apples come
from late rains came while the trees were
in bloom, washing the pollen from the
stamens IN way to prevent 1ruit from
setting freely. The crop will be light.
Black berries are quite an important
crop in some sections and promise to
yield enormously.
Grapes seem to have been injured less
by frost than in most other counties, and
promise a fine crop. They are not raised
here in quantities to cut much fig
ure in the market other than to provide q
home supply of table grapes and wine for
the miners.
Almonds are a very light crop this
year. l found very few orchards OF the
improved varieties that are to be de-
pended on as regular producers. When
people have them instead of the Lanque-
docs they may think more of their county
as an almond section.
Plums and prunes are both light crops
this year, and were more injured by last
years grasshoppers than other trees.
Potatoes are looking well, but are not
raised for export.
There is considerable flour, some hay
and barley, some butter, and certain
other farm products brought into the
county. Perhaps If the farmers Of the
Shenandoah Valley, who are thinking of
raising grain TO haul to Sacramento,
would turn their attention to the de-
mands of the jackson, Sutter Creek and
AmadOr mining sections, and so manage
as to have the freight as a tariff in their
favor, instead OF against them it would
be TO their advantage. All will agree that
tariff is a good thing, if it is only ION
our side" FRANK S. CHAPLIN.

The following statement appeared in a
San Francisco paper on Tuesday:
The annual league meet of the League
OF American Wheelmen will be held at
the new track of the Alameda Bicycle and
Athletic Club on July 4th. 1t was to have
been held at Sacramento, but since the
completion of the Alameda track and the
success OF the races to-day the Capital
City Wheelmen decided to make the
change"
There is not word of truth in the
above statement. No person or club has
the power to make any change in the
original programme, except the Capital
City Wheelmen, and President NJ. S.
LaYenson requests the RECoRD-UN to
state that the latter club has no idea of
abandoning the project of having the meet
IN this city. Indeed, the club has made,
and Is still making, preparations therefor,
and expects to have one of the largest as
semblages of wheelmen that has yet taken
place on the coast.
1t is evident that someone is endeavor-
ing to do the Capital City Wheelmen an
