SAN QUENTIN'S
GRAVE-DIGGER.

For one convicted murderer at least
the San Quentin authorities have found
work, and Dennis Mccarthy has been
set to digging up graves in the prison
cemetery, overlooking the bay. The
task assigned the murderer has been
executed without complaint. and the
man whose life has repeatedly been in
jeopardy, and whom Governor Budd
has saved from miserable death upon
the gallows more than once, has been
plying an occupation that to him is full
of horrible suggestions.
Frequently has the grave yawned
for Mccarthy, but every time he has
managed by influence and clever sham
ming to avert death, and now he lives
to be digging the resting-pIaces of
others.
1t all came about in a strange man
ner, and it is also q noteworthy fact
that Mccarthy is the only man out of
the dozen condemned murderers in San
Quentin Penitentiary who is not con-
fined in Murderers' Row. For some
time he has been in the prison hospital
under the surveillance of nurses and
doctors to determine whether he was
shamming insanity in an effort to de-
feat the gallows.
Some time ago Coroner Eden of Ma
rim County received word TO exhume
the bodies of a large number of China
men who had died in San Quentin
Prison and were buried in the prison
cemetery, and to prepare the bones for
shipment to their native country
Deputy Coroner Stephen Eden has
had the work in hand, and Dennis Nc
Carthy has been assisting the Deputy
Coroner. This work carries him out
side the prison walls, but Mccarthy is
constantly under the eye of guard,
and has no opportunity to escape. This
is probably the first time in the history
of the penitentiary that a murderer
under sentence of death has been as
signed to work outside of the forbid
ding stone walls of the prison
Mccarthy murdered a man near
Marysville, and was tried, convicted
and sentenced to death. He has
showed signs of insanity since his in
generation in San Quentin, and Gov
ernor Budd sent the doctors from three
State asylums to San Quentin to exam
inc Mccarthy and report whether he
was sane or not. The doctors exam
ined the man and could form no opinion,
the majority believing him to be only
shamming. However. Governor Budd
reprieved the murderer a number of
times, and now Mccarthy, instead of
occupying a grave, is digging them in
the cemetery.

lieved to be located to the east.
The Good Hope, which is still nearer
Jackson, adjoining the Anfta's patent
on the east, has 10-stamp mill and
good hoist, but on account of lack of
funds is not being worked.
Just west of the busy camp is stu
ated the Alma mine, a promising
property for the owners and one in
which many bright hopes are expected
to be realized. The incline shaft has
now reached the 1000 foot mark and
is still sinking.
The Jackson Gate mine is due east
from the Kennedy property and de-
velopment work is being continuously
pushed.
The Bellwether mine, owned by Chi
cago capitalists, is one of the promising
properties, being situated on the same
vein as the famous Kennedy mine,
south Of the Jackson Gate mine An
excellent hosting works has been
erected, and, on account of the near
ness of the Amador canal, from which
power is obtained at low rates, pros
poets Of the brightest kind are in store
for the owners, of which John W. Hep
burn, ex-City Assessor of Chicago, is
the principal stakeholder and chief
official.
Last, but not least, is the Union Con-
sOlidated gold mine, about five miles
east of the county seat, which has
been good paying property. but is
now closed down for reasons which the
owners best know. There are four
Lodges on the property called the
Union" "Paugh," Gauge and "Old
Mans" which afford large bodies of
ore for future development. \ 80
stamp mill, chlorination works, assay
office and various other buildings are
located upon the property.
That Jackson's future will be a.
grand one and her standing among
the mining camps of the world be in
the foremost rank, will be readily seen
when the reader considers the fact
that in addition to the rich properties
above enumerated on all sides the hills
are being prospected for the precious

A few years later the improved meth

in this description of Jackson,
Amador County, it will not be
amiss to tell of how Jackson
became the seat of government.
When California was organized, what
is now Amador County was a part OF
Calaveras, and described in a Legisla-
tive act of 1851 as all of the territory
extending from Sacramento TO the
Rocky Mountains. " with Double Springs
as the county seat OF this vast region.
Jackson at this time consisted OF a few
scattering huts along the creek which
bears its name, with the center OF pop
+ ulatiOn located at a spring Where the
National Hotel now stands, and was
Familiarity known as Bottilla, on &C
count of the large number of bottles to
be found near by.
Double Springs could boast of but one
building. which contained the hotel,
store and a saloon. besides the county
archives. and reveled in the glory of
being the most important place in the
county, when one morning an enemy
arrived TO wrest from it's grasp the
power which made il important Charles
Boynton and TheO Nudge, residents of
Bottilla. so the story goes, smilingly
walked into the court house" invited
all hands TO take a drink" with an air
Of wh0lesouled innocence which cap
tured the entire population which
happened" to be present. While one
Of the visitors filed and refilled the
glasses Of the thirsty crowd, the other
quietly picked up the county archives.
and, hiding them under his coat, slowed
them in the cart in which they had ar
rived. Suddenly the visitor who had
been so liberal excused himself from
the crowd and, jumping into the cart
with his companion, drove furiousIy
toward Bottilla, whose residents had
prepared for their coming.
A shake shanty at the foot of what is
now Court street had been fixed upon
as the court house, and upon the ar
rival of Boynton and Nudge the arch
ives were deposited there with proper
ceremonies. the liquors being remark
ably fine" one description says.
Judge Smith, the County Clerk, and
other officials were induced to enter
upon their duties as soon as they ar
rived, and papers were issued dated at
Jackson (the name being given il in
honor Of Colonel Jackson, a prominent
miner Of the camp, calling for a ses-
sion of the County Court at an early
date.
Jackson, by shotgun force" and close
watching, remained the county seat for
TWO years, when as the result of an
election, ii was removed to AIOkeIumne
HILL remaining there until the Legis-
iature Of 1854 passed an act calling
for a vote of the people on June l., 1854
regarding a division OF the county. The
election resulted in favor of division,
and the Commissioners appointed i'm
mediately called for another election on
July L, 10 decide which Of the towns
of the new county was TO become the
county seat, and to also elect officers.
There was considerable rivalry among
the various towns, and several Of them
promised large sums OF money toward
the erection Of public buildings should

suit was victory for Jackson, and in
