Sybil had been silent under the

ours?"
HE is a soldier, | grant IT," replied
Violet, and poor Sybil hated her for

the ladies looked anXiously at each

A Good Selection.

At the convention in Amador county
last Saturday, the Republicans of the
4th supervisor district nominated as
their candidate for supervisor, E. B.
Moore of Sutter Creek. We, on this
side of the river, who have known Ed.
Moore for many years, can safely con-
gratulate the people of that district
that they have made wise selection.
He is man who can be depended upon.
OF untiring energy and unquestioned
integrity, he is the sort of material of
which supervisors should be made.
Mr.. Moore has wide business expert
ence and the ability to use it for the
benefit of whatever community he may
be in. Always foremost in everything
tending to promote the good of the
people, he was long regarded as lead
ing citizen OF this county while residing
here, and should he be elected to the
position for which he is q candidate,
we are sure that AmadOr will have at
least one good supervisor. We say this
because we know this man, and not to
the detriment Of any others whom we
do not know. The many friends of
Mr.. Moore in Calaveras will wish him
every success. Prospect.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY

Independent: Messrs S. S. Petro-
vich of San Francisco and G. Ghiglieri
and L. Gianbonini of Stockton. were
in Tuolumne this week examining the
Golden West mine in which they are
interested. This property is situated
on the Comstock ranch, near the
Black Oak mine, and is being operated
by the Golden West Mining and Milling
Co., of which Mr.. Petrovich is general
manager. The gentlemen were accom-
panied TO the mine by Surveyor
Eugene Barton, who is engaged in sur
veying site for mill which will be
erected on the property. Mr.. Barton
is also surveying the boundary lines.
The outlook at the mine is highly
satisfactory. Several weeks ago fine
shoot Of ore was uncovered, embracing
ledge four feet wide and showing
gold freely the width of the vein. The
company is going ahead with their
work in a business like manner and
will undoubtedly meet with liberal
reward.
The Four Oaks had Il bad cavern a
few days ago and while no one was
Injured, it did some good as it brought
down rock containing gold.

The Democratic County Convention
was held in Sutter Creek last Saturday
and was conducted after the usual sort
of county conventions. A little stimu-
lation in the way of music added to the
affair, but, on the whole, it was ex-
ceedingly tame. The work was carried
through in very good style, and the
speaking in the evening, from a Demo-
cratic standpoint, was considered up to
the mark.
DR.. A. L. Adams of lone, was nomi-
mated for the Assembly and Townships

Supervisors as follows:
Township One. M. Newman.
Township Two, J. T. Clifton.
