Fire at Plymouth.

Tuesday night about IL 80 o clock the
old Ludwick house at the south end oi
Plymouth, was totally destroyed by
fire. The house was unoccupied and
contained but few useful articles.
Shortly after the fire was discovered
an alarm was sent in to the fire depart
ment, and in few minutes. the hose
cart was wheeled into place where a
hydrant was supposed to be located,
but upon investigation it was found
that several hydrants in that vicinity
had been removed some time previous
by the ditch tender and the fire de-
partment was powerless to check the
raging flames.
Considerable comment is made on
the actions of the water company, and
it will probably be asked to replace the
hydrants.

property and is situated on the south
east side of the hill upon which is To-
Gated the Bunker Hill. and in all prob

Were Separated Forty-six Years.

The California Miner of the 18th in
stant has the following:
''Forty-six years ago J. H. Lowry,
now of Pine Grove, Amador county,
stopped over at Salt Lake city, Utah,
on his way to California and visited his
brother, ]. Lowry, well-known citi-
zen of Salt Lake. This is the last time
the brothers met until couple of
weeks ago j. Lowry accompanied by
his daughter) came on from Utah to
visit his brother at Pine Grove. When
the al pioneer of Utah and the '49
pioneer of California met in the little
mining town up in Amador county
they embraced and kissed each other
like two school girls. The meeting
was a happy one, and the touching
sight brought tears to the eyes of more
than one to see the meeting of the
brothers after 46 years of separation.

A Broken King-Bolt.

Last Saturday morning as the Vol
cano stage was getting ready to leave
for that place, slight accident hap
pened, which might have resulted
more seriously. Domenico Grillo was
driving and whom nearly opposite the
brewery, in which direction he had
gone before leaving, the king-bolt
broke throwing Grillo out and injuring
his knee. The damage was soon re-
paired and another driver took the
stage to Volcano. The injury of Mr..
GrillO was not serious.

The picnic which was held at the
Plymouth Park last Saturday, May
10th, proved a financial success. The
N. D. G. w., and the Catholics rem
dered the following program for the
day:
Street Parade, which was led by the
Marshal of the Day, D. E. Burke, who
was assisted by Miss Mabel Wheeler,
mounted, behind whom the Preston
School Band marched, then came the
carriage containing the Chaplain OF the
Day, followed by the white float, which
was drawn by four grey horses with 7.
G. Dugan, the well known stage driver
holding the reins, it contained the
May queen, Miss Maggie Slavich, her
attendances and the may pole dancers.
The next float drawn by four black
horses, representing California, con-
tanned boat within which stood Mrs.
Callie Shields, dressed in yellow satin,
and little May Wilds. The float was
artistically decorated with yellow and
from the top of the float white pigeons
were suspended. The third, or Fire
mans float, was decorated with blue
and red, containing Miss Blanche Ben
netts as the Fireman's queen and fol-
lowed by the Firemen hauling the hose
cart. The remainder of the parade
consisted of the several orders and the
neatly and handsomely decorated car
riages containing the N. D. G. W., and
the Pioneers. The parade marched
through Main street, from whence to
the Park, where the days exercises
were opened by a selection of the Band
followed by prayer by the Chaplain
of the Day, Rev. c. Darling, then a
selection by the Glee Club, crowning of
the May Queen, followed by the Orator
of the Day, Judge Rust, song by the
Catholic children, the may-pole dane
ers formed in line and marched to their
respective places around the may-pole
after which luncheon was partaken of.
The days exercises were ended by a
baseball game between the Amador's
and Jackson's, the victory being for
the former. A ball was given in
Shield Hall in the evening and we'll
attended.
A fruit and vegetable stand has been
established on Main street by Mr..
Crutcher.
Last night about midnight, our
quiet town was startled by an alarm of
fire. A vacant house owned by Mr..
Ludwick was burned to the ground as
it was to far under headway before dis
covered, to extinguish the flames. AS
to how it became lighted remains un-
known.
Misses Grace and Maud Miller of
lone, who had been visiting Mrs. A.
Dugan for few days, returned home
Sunday accompanied by Will Butler
and Laura Dugan.
Last Friday our school closed, the
afternoon being spent in eating ice
cream and cake.

More improvements Made.

There have been busy times at Love
Hall this week, the conclusion of a
series of improvements has been made
in the shape of a new and substantial
floor. The walls have been papered,
giving the enlarged hall a neat and
cheerful appearance. The floor is oi
the best quality and adds to the pleas
ures of dancing.

CALAvERAS COUNTY.

Prospect: The new pump for the
Kentucky mine near the Kentucky y
House has arrived on the grounds, and
Mr.. Sceifert is making arrangements
to have it put in position at once. AS
soon as the pump is placed, work will
be resumed sinking the main shaft and
fully developing the property.
The old Shear mine on Central Hill,
better known as the Lloyd mine, has
recently been bonded 20 Don Palmer,
who formerly successfully operated the
Chill Hill mine. Work will commence
within sixty days, and there is no
doubt but that the mine will prove a
good paying proposition. The Central
Hill group of mines have all been rich
ever since the early days, and all ii
needs is little money to open them
properly.
E. C. Stanley, formerly of Robin
sons Ferry, where he disposed of some
valuable mining property, is now living
at Copperopolis, and is still making
mining his chief business. Last Satur-
day he was in San Andreas in the in
terest of the Box mine, which is con-
tinuation of the famous Pine Log mine
at Hobson. There is good prospect
that this property will soon be opened,
and there is little doubt but that it will
prove as productive as the Pine Log.
All it needs is sufficient money to open
1t properly. The ledge is the same as
the Pine Log and can be traced as
plainly as village street. San Fran
cisco parties are looking after the mine
and bond is likely to be given as soon
as the terms are satisfactorily ar
ranged.
The Ford Mining Company will start
their ten-stamp mill to crushing rock
from the mine in a short time. Ar
rangements are being made with the
Standard Electric Company for power,
and as soon as they can get ready the
stamps will begin to drop, probably
taken out now looks very promising,
and extensive tests will be made on ore
from different parts of the mine. The
officers of the company seem to be very
much encouraged over the recent de,
velopments in the mine.
Citizen: A large amount of iron pipe
has been passing through town lately
for the Sheep Ranch mine. A large
number OF men are employed there and
all is moving along nicely.
The Goldwin mine of Tuolumne
county is having large amount of ma
chinery made at Altaville for the prop.
erty. Vast improvements, including q
ten-stamp mill are contemplated.
Chronicles: The French Hill tunnel
near town, which for the past nine OF
ten months has been driven ahead,
under the management of J. E. Burton
with view to tap the quartz ledge
that passes throughl French Hill, is
completed, the ledge having beer
struck Thursday last. The formation
through which this tunnel was driven,
a depth of 480 feet, was very hard and
the work was necessarily slow. The
calculations were found to be about
correct as the ledge was struck within
ten or twelve feet of where II was sup

Some OF our people attended the
Aukum picnic which had been post
poned from the 1lth, to the 18th.
They report a good time though not a
large crowd. A baseball game between
nine from Indian Diggings and nine
from Shenandoah and Aukum resulted
in the defeat Of the former team; score
IL to 13.
The picnic at Plymouth last Satur-
day drew out nearly the whole popula-
ton of Shenandoah and all enjoyed the
day to the utmost, though the base
ball game was too one-sided to be very
interesting.
Miss Edith Ball is at the Bay State

A large crowd from the Valley and

last Friday, TO enjoy the combined at
fractions of iag-raising, closing exer-
clses and ice-cream. Wreaths of flow

Hundred and Forty Feet.

Hundred and Forty Feet.
Last Saturday afternoon there hap
pened a fatal accident in the South
Eureka mine near Sutter Creek. John
Garbarini, an Italian miner of consider
able experience, was at work in the
shaft OF the mine, and wishing to de-
scend to the next tunnel below, stepped
to the man-hole. Across the man-hole
was piece of spiling upon which he
rested one foot. while with the other
he reached for the ladder, when the
spiling slipped, and losing his balance,
he fell down the shaft distance of one
hundred and forty feet. He was soon
found, bruised, bleeding and uncon-
scious. Willing hands placed him in
the skip and he was brought to the
surface. A physician was Immediately
summoned but all efforts to prolong
the life of the injured man were in vain
and about 4 O'Clock Sunday morning
he fell into that sleep which 'knows no
waking"
Undertaken Roberts of Sutter Creek
prepared the body for burial Sunday
morning, and Monday the remains
were Inferred in the Jackson cemetery
with Catholic ceremonies.

NEW MONEY.ORDER RULE.
United States And Mexico Now Elk
change Postal Money Orders.

A new money order rule providing
for direct international money order
exchange between the United States
and Mexico went into effect on Monday
last. The new rule does not affect Ell
Paso any more than any other city, ex-
cept that it's trade relations with Mex
leo are closer than those of most cities.
The exchange Office for the United
States for money orders from and to
Mexico Is at Laredo, the bulk of Next
can mail going through that Office. The
exchange Office of Mexico Is at Neuvo
Laredo, Mexico. All money orders
passing between the two countries
must pa q through one of these offices,
the same as money orders between the
United States and Europe must pass
through the New York office, and be-
tween the United States and western
countries through San Francisco.
Money orders from the United States
to Mexico will be paid at the current
rate of exchange as quoted at Nuevo
Laredo on the day of arrival at that
Office of the advice. Orders issued
in Mexico and payable in the United
States will, in like manner, be con-
verified into United States money at the
rate quoted on the day of arrival at
Laredo, Texas.
The new arrangement will be q
great convenience to Ell Paso mer-
chants and business men. 1t would be
greater, however, if the exchange Of
fee of the United States had been
placed here instead OF at Laredo.
