RObbing the Senate.

During the past eight years several
hundred thousand dollars have been
expended Tor the purchase OF new furni-
ture for the United States Senate,
During the same time the old furniture
was sold as old junk for hundreds where
il originally cost hundreds OF thousands.
1t is assumed that probably halt
million of dollars are involved by the
transactions of the last six wears.
There has been a change of officials
charged with the responsibility OF this
work, and an investigation is promised.
This, even if it results at all, will grow
out of a recent purchase that has
attracted not only the attention of the
new sergeant at arms OF the Senate, but
members OF that body as well.
When the Senate convened in Decem-
Der last, less than three months ago, the
old chair of the Vice President had
disappeared and the four old fashioned
sofas and six large chairs of ancient
pattern that stood around the wall in
the rear of the desks OF Senators had
given way to others of a design in
harmony with the desks. The bill for
this lot 81 furniture was 81 700.
Last week the officials OF the Senate
had their attention called to the work.
manship of these chars and sofas. They
were supposed to be solid mahogany.
Every chair and sofa was found to have
the side panel warped, pulled from its |
place, and disclosing an ugly white
streak from a sixteenth Of an inch upward |
in diameter.
The Senate carpenter made a critical |
examination. He discovered that in |
many cases where the wood wal sup. |
posed to be solid mahogany there was
only a thin veneering, and in many
panels there was no mahogany at all,
but common poplar stained.
Conducting the investigation still
further, it was found that the magnificent
looking sofas in the cloak rooms, which
had been been bought for solid mahog
any, were nothing more than oak
stained artlstically.
The Committee on Contingent Ex.
penses, which passed upon these &C.
counts, is interested, and it is understood
that ths body will insist upon the most
rigid investigation of accounts for
that have been paid during the
past three or four wears.

Negotiations for the sale of the
National Capital Brewing Company OF
this city to New York parties are about
completed. and the formal transfer will

Carry, the president and manager Of the
company, and Mr.. Robert Portner are
said to be the largest stockholders, and
it is understood that an arrangement
will be made by the purchasers by which
Mr.. Carry will continue as president
and manager for at least two years
longer. The third largest stockholder
is said to be Mr.. Frank Madigan. The
plant of the local company, which was
established about ten years ago, is
located at T4th and ID streets southeast.

neOided against Dewey.

In the Court of Claims last Monday
Justice Weldon announced that the our
had decided the claim of Admiral
Dewey and the officers and men of the
fleet which defeated the Spanish force
at Manila Bay, May I, 1898.
The decision OF the court will not be
made public in full for several days
The opinion, however, is that the
Spanish force was inferior to that of the
Americans; that consequently the
claimants will not be entitled to 5000
for each man on the enemy's feet. BY
the decision they will be allowed $Ioo
Tor each man on the Spanish feet.
The court lays down that the rule
that the shore batteries, torpedoes and
mines in the harbor must be ruled out
in making up the estimate of the sire ngth
ofthe two forces. 1t will be rememb, cred
that the contention OF the claimants was
that the enemV's fleet, together with the
shore batteries, mines and torped pes,
was superior by considerable degree
to the force Of the American fleet. and
a great deal of law was quoted to show
that the shore batteries, torpedoes and
mines Ehould be included in the estimate
of the strength Of the respective forces.
The attorneys for the claimants will,
it is understood, appeal to the Supreme
Court and will make strong fight there
to have their contention upheld. as the
in the money coming to the
claimants under their contention would
be large amount
Under the decision OF the court
Admiral Dewey will be entitled to
s9 5000. If the opinion of the court
lad been that the Spanish force was
superior Admiral Dewey would have
received SIG, ,ooI.4o.

Obituary,

Jennie May Cleveland Vanderpool,
youngest child of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Vanderpool, was born in Spring Val
ley, September 18th, 1876. AS her
brothers and sisters were all nearly
grown, the next Youngest being just
eleven years older, the "babyn was
naturally the pet of the family. The
little one was taught at home until
thirteen years of age, at that time be-
ing on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Smith
of Shenandoah. She entered the
Williams school, graduating five years
later from the Plymouth school, and
began her duties as a teacher in Spring
Valley on attaining her eighteenth
birthday. After two years in this ca
pacity Miss Vanderpool entered Atkin-
sons Business College of Sacramento
in 1895, graduating therefrom in the
following year with high hQnors and at
once took position with Hale Bros. &
Co. as assistant cashier and steno-
grapher. She served them faithfully
and efficiently for year and half, at
which time she was forced to resign
through i'll health, the result of over
work. A rest at her home was of such
benefit that she was soon able to &C
cept the Spring Valley school for the
term just ended. She was greatly be-
loved by her pupils who will long
mourn the loss Of their teacher. She
early manifested a deeply religious ma
ture; at her own request she was pre-
ssnted for baptism and became men,

by Wheaton and Garrett has been sold
to Chas. w. Knox, late ''super" of the
Mt. Lily, who will put force of men
| to work at once. The five stamp mill
will also be pounding away on ore in a
day or two. Mr.. Knox has had force
of men for the past two weeks extract
ing samples of ore from the famous old
Riverside mine (the history of which,
it will be remembered, contained many
bright pages, with the view, we pre-
sumo, of bonding the same.

New Era: All differences between
the owners of the Longfellow mine and

victory for the miners.
High grade ore and plenty of it is

The Slap Jack, two miles east of
Groveland, will resume operations in
three weeks. 1t is being equipped with
machinery from the Big Betsy.
Sinking in the Pauper's Dream shaft
now nearly 500 feet deep, goes steadily
on night and day. There are nine
miners employed at the work, three on

ployment. A considerable portion of
these have been given work at the

Mr.. Jas. Hamilton oil Sonora, the
well-known mill wright, has taken

w. J. Morse, who has become interest,"
ed in the oil business and gone to
Fresno county.
Four feet of good milling ore has
been struck in the Blue Bird, after
driving only 10 feet from the point
on the vein where work was discon-
tinued by the Bodie Standard Com
pany. The latter threw up the bond
last fall. The Blue Bird is one mile
west of the Buchanan and is owned by

Mountain Democrat: The purchase
of the Mt. Pleasant mine owned by the
Brown Bros, of Amador county, is
good news for the county and for
Grizzly Flat. 1t means lively future.
For reasons not apparent to outsiders,
but doubtless known to the purchasers,

CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Citizen: The shaft in the Angels
mine, the property of J. V. Coleman OF
San Francisco, is to be sunk a couple of
hundred feet deeper, and work has al,
ready been commenced.
After drilling about 12O feet to tap
the water in an old shaft of the Angels
mine, the Lightner Company has given
up the job, as formation was en-
countereA through which the dia-
mond drill would not pass.
Chronicles: The water is all out OF
the Lockwood mine and sinking has
been commenced. We are informed
that the ledge in the bottom exceeded
expectations and that the company
(The Grasshopper Gold Mining Co.,
will continue to sink 800 feet deeper
which will make the shaft about 700
feet deep.
At the Lone Star work of sinking
the shaft is progressing rapidly under
contract. 1t is the intention of the
company to sink the shaft to a depth
of 500 feet below the bed of the Mokel-
umne River. Supt. Pugh is still look
ing after the same company's mining
interests in Nevada but will return
here soon.
Geo. ]. Congdon, operator of the
Endora mine, has purchased the re-
naming half interest in that property
and is preparing to push operations
with renewed vigor. A report of this
mine was published in a previous issue
of the Chronicle. A winze is now be-
ing sunk on the ledge which will open
up the lead and enable him to take out
a large body of ore. AS sinking pro-
crosses the ledge increases in width.
The latest reports from the French
Hill tunnel are very gratifying. The
vein which was at first believed to be
only nine feet wide has proved to be
fully eighteen feet in width, and the
rock is of such a character as to nc
longer leave any doubt regarding the
value Of the property. The ore pros
poets we'll in free gold and carries a
large percentage of very high grade
sulphurets, some of which will go, &C.
cording to a conservative estimate, as
high as 5000 to the ton. The ledge is
not pockety, but on the contrary, it is
