Yesterday $4,000 people went to r. r.

said dozen others, but the English
and Scotch are very loyal and are
ready to scrap with any body who has
word to say in favor of the Beers.
The line between the classes and
masses is very sharply drawn here.
The uppels travel 1st class, cents per
mile, the middle I'd, ) cents and the
lower Sd, 2 cents per mile. All cars
are partitioned into compartments.
The lower classes have pretty hard
fight for living. The saloons are

different doors, drink different stuff"
and pay accordingly. The poor are
very poor and the rich very rich AL
the former think gold grows on the
trees in America and they are all
clamorous to 60 there. They can tell
an American mile off and cinoh him
when they can.
Had my first ride in an Irish Jaunt-
ing Car yesterday. They take the
place of hacks, 60 like hill, and throw
you of rounding corners If you don't
hold on tight.

Republican County Committee Meeting.
The Republican County Committee,
quorum present, met at Judge Davis

O'Clock, Hon. E. c. VOORHEES,, Chair
man, presiding. L. c. Rust of the Dis
patch and P. Burlington of the LEDG Err
we're also present. Under the new law
the delegates both to the County and
State conventions must be chosen
directly at the primaries. Nothing in
the law, however, prevents the same
person from being delegate to both
conventions. After some discussion it
was decided to hold the Convention at
Sutter Creek on September 8th, next.
The law fixes the date of the primaries
for the second Tuesday in August.
This brings the meeting of the County
Convention shortly after the meeting
of the State Convention. The Com
mittee thereupon fixed the basis of ap-
pointment of delegates to each con-
vention, and drew up the call, which
Is published elsewhere in our columns.
Judge Davis WAS requested to draw up
the necessary legal petitions to the
Board of Supervisors, to comply with
the primary election law, and the Com
mittee then adjourned.
Judge Davis completed the drafting
of both the necessary petitions yester-
day afternoon and at once filed them
with the County Clerk.

Efficient Work,

DR.. H. b. Look Of Sacramento,
representing the State Board of Health,
in response to the request of County
Health Officer Endicott, arrived here
July ], on the evening stage. He at
once proceeded to diagnose the cases
of the various sick people in town. In
company with Health Officer E. E.
Endicott, DR.. A. NJ. Gall and DIR.
E. V. Lonigo, DR.. Look visited every
case in jackson and several in the
country.
After a searching examination and
scientific test, DR.. Look declared that
smallpox in a mild form existed in
Jackson and vicinity and suggested
very strict quarantine of the houses
and premises infected. His suggestions
we're speedily and effectually carried
out, and at once the spreading of the
disease was checked. AT this writing,
Friday July 18th, the quarantine is
considered effectual, and no new cases
have been reported:
As soon as our people were assured
that smallpox had gained foothold
here, vigorous steps were taken by
both officials and leading citizens to
stamp it out with as little delay as pos
sible. To that end q few prominent
citizens met in the CQurt HOUSE Sun
day afternoon, all present pledging
themselves by rising vote to stand
by the officials in enforcing strict quar-
antine regulations until the disease was
completely wiped out. The citizens of
no town on earth could do more toward
curtaiIing the spread of contagion than
have the people Of jackson. They
have been united and have worked in
harmony and the result of their united
efforts is already apparent, for the
disease is effectually under control at
this time.

Played One Night.

The Boggs-Hernandez Comedy Com
pany entertained very small audience
from the stage in Webb Hail last Fri.
day evening. Owing to the appear
ance Of smallpox in town, the show
was not well patronized, The company
presented 'Dan's Babies, " an extreme.
ly cemieal performance, preceded by
an equally funny curtain raiser, "a
Bloodless Murder" The actors kept
their small audience roaring with
laughter all evening, and showed be-
yond doubt that they had much
better talent, although nearly all are
amateurs, than the usual travelling
troupe.
Had it not been for the smallpox
scare, there would probably have been

company did not play.

scious that they can go just so far and
no farther. Here and there they have
shut down mandatory or closed up
an institution and affected some indi.
viduals, but we are not looking from
that standpoint. When we look at the
10000, 200 of our population, We say
they are only procuring cheaper and
buying for less money these products
than they could have done under other
circumstances.
With the final disintegration Of
trusts and ombines-which will In.
evitably come when financial disaster

will be thrown upon the market, and
only the stockholders in these trusts
and com mbines will suffer. AS sure as
that the sun shines, whenever any In
stitution becomes unwieldly because of
its size and bulk, it will finally fall of
its own weight.
1 am an expansionist, and l believe
that one of the causes Of the stringency
and shrinkage of values in this country
is because we have not gone out over
the seas with our products as we
should have done. While there is a
demand for our products of the farm

CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Prospect; The work OF pumping out
the Ghost Mine began last Monday and
has been pushed through the week.
The mine has been idle for some time,
but it is said that it will now be thor
oughly developed. Men will be put on
as rapidly as it is possible to proftably
employ them.
The old Jones mine, now known as
the San Justo, on Carson Creek. will
commence crushing rock again in few
days. Superin tondent Flint of the
mine went to the city Sunday to make
final arrangements, and on his return it
is said the work will commence. There
is little doubt but what this mine can
be made profitable producer.
CItizen About 30 tons of cement
gravel are being daily crushed at the
Table Mountain mine near Sheep
Ranch. The mine pays well and FIVE
stamps will soon be added. At present
twelve men are employed.
Chronicle: The stamps at the Bir-
dens mine at Campo Seco were hung
up few days this week on account of
the breaking of a certain part of the
machinery. The trouble was soon
remedied and work resumed. Opera
lions will soon have to be suspended on
account OF the shortage of water. The
Birdena is one of the most promising
properties on the mother lode. 1t is a
qusrrying proposition much like the
Gold Cliff mine at Angels and the
1uartz is OF the same character as that
of the Pine Log mine. There is a
vsritable mountain of 1t and every
particle Of the ore is highly mineraliz-
ed. It Is estimated that there Is some-
thing like 5000, 900 tons Of ore ready to
be qusrried out like so much building
stone, with no water to contend with,
no hoisting and no waste. With such
? layout 200 stamps could be kept run
ping at comparatively nominal cost,
With the result that the very lowest
grade of ore could be made to yield
handsome returns.
The mill test of ore which was being
made at the Ford mill at San Andreas
for the past three weeks, was finished
this week and John McQuig, who had
charge OF the mill, returned to hi;
home in Murphys Tuesday last.
The sinking OF the shaft at tie Lone
Star mine is progressing satisfactorily
under the management OF Contractor
Anderson. Three eight-hour shifts
are at work with machine drills and
good headway is being made. Supt.
Pugh is in Nevada.
In the josephine mine sinking is
going on steadily under the manage
fnent of Superintendent ogglesby. A
new jack-head pump was put in this
week and the good, fve-foot ledge
shows up we'll as sinking progresses.
