never, never be coming back"
Well, it is too bad that a good part of
the attractiveness might be movable

in the little lonesome camp Is taken,
they WILL never come back.

DEATH OF JOHN STIviTcH.
Superiltended the Construction of His
Final Resting Place

John Stlvitch, who for half century
had been resident of Jackson, known
to the people in this community as
big John," passed into eternity last
Friday night and was buried Sunday.
The deceased had been sick a long
time, and was expecting death at any
time. For fifty years he had lived
here, and was worth several thousand
dollars. His domestic life was simple,
and he was very eccentric.
Some time ago he got the idea that
he would design and superintend the
construction of his fips! resting place.
He made plans which were carried out
to his satisfaction.
The grave is seven feet in depth and
walls OF concrete nearly eighteen inches
in thickness, with an equal thickness OF
concrete on the bottom, lines this pc.
culiar sepulchre.
The casket rested upon iron bars
reaching across the grave foot from
the bottom. About eighteen inches
from the top bars were placed across in
the same manner. Over these bars
was to have been placed a marble slab,
but the slab not having arrived In
time, heavy piece of zinc wss substi.
tuted, which fitted snugly. Upon this
has been placed layer OF concrete, and
q slab OF marble bearing the customary
inscription will soon be in position.
His will provides $500 for this work.
Andrew Perovich, 2 nephew Of the
deceased, is the only relative here and
is named IS executor. We are informed
that Stivitch left his nephew $1,000.
stivitch was rs years OF age and a
native of Austria.

to vigorous underground campaign.
Up 10 date the mine looks sure
winner.
Superintendent Moorhead is concen-
trating all efforts at the Dreisam to
sinking in the accompaniment shaft.
Last night it had attained total depth
of 345 feet. Throughout the mine the
quartz shows up strong both in guam
tity and quality.
at the Pearl, Mr.. Tait's good thing
in the Confidence district, the main
shaft will probably reach the 100-foot
mark tomorrow, from which point a
crosscut will be driven to the vein, q
distance OF 30 feet, and then drifting
and ore extraction will be In order,
further sinking in the shaft being con-
tinued simultaneously. In the latter
working five feet per day can be made.
The Kodak, on the west side of the
north fork of the Tuolumne river and
two miles south Of Carriers, has been Sc
cured on bond by strong San Fran
cisco company from William Connally,
aud last week work was started up on
the property in dead earnest. A cross
cut tunnel has been driven 20 feet and
in 20 feet more driving a contact with
the vein will have been effected. The
ledge itself is we'll defined body of
quartz from five to seven feet wide that
numerous tests show will mill from
SIG to $50 per ton in free gold. There
are about 80 tons of rock already on the
dumps and 500 tons in sight in the
various old workings. Some time ago
Connally sunk shaft to the depth of
% feet on the ledge, every foot of the
way being in particularly good ore.
The new company is credited with
plenty of means and proposes to ag-
gressively prosecute operations. The
Kodak has already proved itself one of
the best prospects in the district, be-
sides bearing every indication of perma-
nency.
Mother Lode: Billy Bingham has
one of the finest prospects in the noun
taius, near the Confidence mine, and
work is being prosecuted with vigor.
a fourteen-foot ledge which shows free
gold all the way across has been un-
covered. VIM. Fass, the cigar drum
mer, and a Mr.. Bowles are interested
with Mr. Bingham in the claim. Ma
chinery will be put on to facilitate the
work of development,
The Confidence has got to point
where the pay begins, and the com.
pany fully deserves long season of
prosperity for the faith they have
shown in working SO long at loss.
The new discoveries in this mine equal,
If they do not excel, the showing OF
early days. A big vein of ore covered
all over with sparkling gold promises
big dividends In the future, After a
shutdown for repairs mine and mill will
open up on an era of prosperity.

Shoulder Dislocated Twice.

Some two weeks ago an italian miner
in some manner dislocated his right
shoulder at the Amador King mine
near here, but the shoulder was put
back in place with0ut the aid of a
physician. The shoulder seemed quite
weak and was painful for some time.
Last Tuesday morning, while at work
in the mine, the shoulder was again
dislocated. The man was striking a
drill and the motion gone through
when striking heavily threw the
shoulder, which had been weakened
by the former dislocation, out of place.
The man came to town and obtained
medical attention.

tices TO gain proficiency in making
drives without leaving large indenta-

Among the ninety members of the
club, there are many who have played
the games on links in the east and who
have attained considerable skill. It will
be their part 60 show their fellow mem
bers just how it is done. There may
be some trying times at first, but by
the time spring is well on its way. those
who haven't played before will have
learned the rudiments of the game. and
some gOod playing may be expected this
summer.
But the members of the club don't
intend to spend all their time playing

CATARRH OF HEAD
AND THROAT.

Hard, rough, catarrhal mucous stick
ing in his throat was the condition Of
William A. Jones, when he came TO
Drs. Shores for their treatment. Read
the result of that one weeks treat
ment. and come and try it in your own
case. It's results. that's it. Drs. Shores.
the peoples specialists, is where you
can get cured.
Mr.. Jones says: 4 have suffered for
the past year from a bad case Of Ca
tarrh in my nose and throat. My nose
was constantly closed up. and the hard,
tough mucous would fill up my throat
so that it would choke me. and 1
would spit up hard chunks from my
throat as large as the end of my fin
ger. My sleep was poor, and after eat
ing. my stomach would feel heavy.
after one weeks treatment with
Drs. Shores I can say that my nose
and throat are clear. sleep well and
my stomach feels all right. In fact,
am feeling splendid, and would be glad
to have anyone call On me if they doubt
the genuineness of this statement.
