Americans, an American officer.

the shot being fired only as a warn
ing. Yet Captain MCGOWAN, it
would appear, is to be tried for
shooting the Filipino; for not re
porting the case to his superiors
and for not calling upon a marine
or sailor to fire instead of doing
the shooting himself. Considering
all we hear about the blood thirsty
and imperialistic nature of Ameri
can military government, it would
seem that considerable regard is
paid to the rights and feelings of
the Filipinos.

A mob of 5000 lynched Calvin
KimbIern, a negro who assaulted
and murdered two little white girl
inmates of the Pueblo, Colorado
Orphans home. The lynching was
last Thursday morning. Women
and children checred as the negro
was swung from telegraph pole.
The officials of the Denver and
Rio GrOnde railroad ordered the
train bearing negro Kimhlern, to
be rushed past the stations, for
fear the mob would board the train
and seize the negro. The mob
placed ties on the track ''and the
train stopped twice before the ne
gro was found. When discovered
the mob dragged him with a rope
around his neck to a telegraph
pole. The negro was thrice strung
up befo the rope held.

The latest summary of active
operations in the Philippines foi
the month of May shows loss by
the insurgents of 36i killed, while
the casualties of the Americans
were three men and three horses
wounded. How long an American
army of 10000 men will last at
this rate of loss, and how long any
given number of insurgents will
be in wearing themselves out
against such an army, are matters
to determine for those who have a
talent for figures.

EL DORADO COUNTY.

Nugget: 1t is said that the parties
who contracted to sink the shaft
deeper at the Little Gem mine
have forfeited their contract, and
the company put on force of their
own Monday. The run made by the
mill recently erected proved to be very
satisfactory.
The Unity mine at Gold Hill has a
steam boiler, hoisting engine and other
machinery for sale.
Mountain Democrat: J. H. Skinner
has purchased the 5-stamp custom mill
of r. M. Zimmerman and is having it
removed from its present location
above Chinatown to his mine just north
of town. Besides large amount of
ore on the dumps ready to be put
through the mill, Mr.. Skinner has a
large body of ore blocked out in the
tunnel-sufficient to keep the mill run
ming many months.
In the near future, L. W. Haggarty,
who has perforated Ell Dorado with
more deep shafts and long tunnels than
any mining superintendent of his
age, will commence operations on a
Plumas mine.
Superintendent Thorn is working a
full crew at the Gold Bug mine. 49,.

THE Philippine WAR.

January 26.-The soldier dead from

Preside. to pay soldiers has
been sent to Manila on the ,Pennsyl-
vania.-Last concentrated force of Fill
pinos scattered, but there is danger of
bloody feuds between soldiers and ma
tives.
January PA plan has been made
to rescue Agunialdo. Hongong Junta
would send launches to Luzon, but the
necessary papers are refused them by
Consul Wildman. War ships Balti-
more and Wheeling detailed to prevent
any attempt to take the rebel chief to
Singapore.
January 2S.-Funeral services of
Commander James w. Carlin held
with full military honor.-Army and
Navy orders issued
January 29.- War considered near
its close. But few more points to be
gained. Filipinos wander around the
hills in small bands.
January 30.--Slight skirmishes
around Taal.-It is said that proc
lamation will be issued giving the Fill
pinos sixty days to lay down their
weapons. After that all found in arms
will be treated as bandits.
January 3l.-Natives ambush
scouting party near Snbig and kill four
Americans. Lawton and family
arrive from Manila.

Railroad Material.

1t will be interesting, at least, in
view of the now assured coming of the
railroad to Jackson, and other towns
of Amador county, to know something
of the vast quantities of material that
will be required to build this road.
After the road bed is graded, about
which we may give some facts later, it
will require 25, 344 ties calling the dis
tance twelve niles. These are usually
eight and one half feet long, seven
inches thick and nine inches on the
face, or upper surface, in width.
The standard gauge is four feet,
eight and one-half inches; that is, the
rails are that distance apart.
The ordinary length of the Bessemer
steel rail is thirty feet. 1t will take
about 100 tons to the mile, or 1900 tons
to lay single track from lone to jack
son. The average life of steel rails is
about fifteen years.
1t takes about II, $50 spikes, or three
tons per mile, or thirty tons for single
track to Jackson.
These are but few of the many and
various materials needed for equipping
the roadbed. We may be able to
give other items of general interest
from time to time, as railroad matters
progress.
