That the same tactics will be employ

Mrs. Ed. Kelley Injured.

Last Monday morning, Mrs. Ed.
Kelley and baby and her sister-in-law,
started for Angels with a horse and
cart. They went by way of Middle
Bar, and had crossed the bridge and
were proceeding up the grade on the
Mokelumne Hill road, when in crossing
a stream, the banks of which are
rather steep, the horse balked and
backed into the stream. In some
manner, she does not know just how,
Mrs. Kelley and the baby were thrown
out, and the hind feet of the horse
came within a hands breadth of the
baby's head but good angel protected
the little one and it came out of the
tangle without scratch. Mrs. Kelley,
however, was quite painfully hurt, sus-
tanning badly bruised hip and
severe scalp wound. Mr.. Martin of
Middle Bar brought Mrs. Kelley and
the baby home and DIR. Gall was sum-
moned and rendered the necessary pro-
fessional service. In the meantime
Mrs. Kelley's sister-in-law returned
with the horse and cart.

Chronicle: S. E. Redmond, late of
the Metropolitan Hotel at San An
dreas, and Mike Rigney went to Ell
Dorado last Monday where they will
engage in prospecting the Ritter mine.
They took a good supply of provisions
along and will 'batch it" in cabin on
the mine. They have some fine rock
in sight, and, as these gentlemen are
full of push and energy, operations will
be crowded as rapidly as possible. A
piece of rock from this mine that had
been left at the Metropolitan Hotel in
San Andreas, was thrown out this
week by the present proprietor, as
only slight speck of gold could be
seen on the outside. 1t was afterward
picked up and broken open by L. S.
Pelton who was surprised to find that it
contained large quantity of free gold.
The boys undoubtedly have good
thing and we wish them every success.
J. E. Burton, who is largely inter-
ested in mining in these parts, has Sc
cured from Lee Vandel and S. G. Peek
working bond for one year on their
property, the Niger Hill quartz mine,
within this townsite. This mine is be-
lieved to be an extension of the Moser.
The lead is in porphpry formation and
the rock is of very high grade.
There is no doubt that the early-day
placer diggings on Niger Hill came
from this lead. 1t is said that opera
tions will commence soon and that a
crosscut tunnel will be run to tap the
lead.
The Eudora, situated below the Cal.
averas grade, about one mile from the
West Point bridge, is owned and oper-
ated by George j. Congdou. This
mine of late years has been known as
the Hadler & Guy but since coming
into the possession of Mr.. Congdon il
resumed the ancient name Eudora
under which it was worked in early
days by the Mexicans. The main tun
mel is in 210 feet and the face of it shows
ledge trifle over two feet in width
being of both free milling and REBEL
ious ore. The free milling will bt
ground here and the rebellious-whicl
will yield about s35 per ton-will b.
shipped to Selby's. Mr.. Congdon is 1
lucky prospector, and the Eudora is 1
promising piece OF property.
Several men are at work clearing thu
tunnels and putting things in shape OF
the Lone Star mine, with the view o
that property resuming work at al
early date. This mine is too wei
known in the history of Calavera
county, to rewrite it at this time

Dangerous Firewood.

Last night about 1880 as Lee Steven
son and Charles Norton, potato retail
ers from Stockton, were partaking of
their camp meal near Martell's Sta
tion, on the lone road, something ex-
ploded in their camp fire that was al
most deafening, and Lee Stevenson was
hit just back of the right ear terrific
blow. The blood flowed so freely that
he mounted one of the horses and came
to town, followed by his companion.
DR.. Endicott dressed the wound, which
is slight, and the young men returned to
camp. 1t is the opinion OF Stevenson
that a giant powder cap was in the
wood they were burning and that 1t ex-
ploded, a piece OF it hitting him.
