Convocation at Auburn.

The Rev. Mr.. Tuson, wife and
daughter, Laura, returned on Thurs
day last, from the Convocation held at
Auburn. There was a full delegation
both of clergy and laity. The whole
Convoeation was most spirited and in.
spring, and the reports from all parts
of the Mission field were very hopeful.
The kind people OF Auburn were most
hospitable and did all in their power to
make things pleasant for their visitors.
The Bishops reception was held at the
home of DR.. Todd, to which a cordial
invitation was given to all the people
of Auburn and the visitors at the Con-
vocation. A delightful program and
refreshments were enjoyed by all.
The hotel proprietOrs kindly donated
the use of their buses, and at the close
of the afternoon session on Wednesday
the whole delegation was taken out to
Aeolia Heights, where the scenery is
something grand and beautiful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tuson were most cordi-
ally entertained at the beautiful home
of Mrs. Crutcher, and the Second An
nual Convocation will long be pleasant
ly remembered by them.

Death of Gladys Clark.

Little sister has gone to sleep. On
Monday, Oct. %, little Gladys Irene,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Clark
of South Jackson, passed from land
of pain to the better land. She has
been sufferer from spinal disease for
about three years. About year ago
she was taken to San Francisco and
Oakland for medical treatment. She
seemed to be improving, and about
three months ago she was brought
home. For some time after her return
she was able to run about and play
with the little ones in the neighbor-
hood, but she gradually began to fail,
and when weary of play she would sit
in her chair and watch the others.
She never complained, but was very
patient. About three months ago she
gave up and took to her bed which she
never left until death released her of
her pain. During her last sickness she
suffered with her head, often moaning
with the pain. We shall miss her
smiling face and her footsteps on the
floor, but we know that He who said,
''Suffer little children to come unto
me. p" has called her, and in his arms
our darling has gone to sleep. She
leaves father, mother, four sisters and
two brothers to mourn their loss. She
was seven years and nine days old.
The bereaved family have the SYM
pathy of the entire community.

Fell 1900 Feet.

Another tragedy occurred here about
6 o'clock Thursday evening, which
casts pail of gloom over the commun-
ity. John Guerra, young man about
q or 23 years OF age, favorite among
his many associates, plunged headlong
down the shaft of the Kennedy mine
from the 800 level to the 2400 level-a
distance of 1900 feet. His body, terrib-
ly mangled, was recovered about 9
O'Clock last night.
The circumstances of the dreadful
accident, are as follows: Young Guerra
and several other miners were coming
off shift, their days work being finish
ed, some were in the skip and others
''riding the ball. Guerra was among
the latter. The skip had reached the
800 level when Guerra fell off. 1t is
believed by his fellow workmen that
he either tainted or went to sleep and
relaxed his grasp of the cable. 1t ap-
pears that Guerra took part in the
parade the night before and, attended
the dance, remaining up nearly, if not
quite, all night. A hard days work
following may have exhausted him so
much that he actually fell into slight
dOze or possibly may have tainted on
the way up. The family have the
sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral will be held tomorrow.

Bryan Not Sincere.

General Lew Wallace of Indiana au-
thor, diplomat and scholar, who criti-
cised President Mckinley SO severely
in regard to his foreign policy, stated
recently that he would support him for
reelection. 81 shall vote for President
Mckinley" said the General, "because
the thought of the election of Bryan is
abhOrrent to me for several reasons.
In the first place, l hold that the man
is inslncere, for no candidate can take
nominations from three parties without
intending to fool some one in case of
election.
''In the next place, Bryan's financial
policy is one, which, if put into effect,
would bring disaster and ruin on the
country. Free silver is menace to
the business interests of the country.
FINALLY, | am opposed to Bryan as
hold him directly responsible for the
death of every one of the brave Ameri-
can soldiers slain in the Philippines.
1t is the encouragement held out to the
rebels by Bryan and others of his ideas
that keeps up the struggle there. The
war was over, but the sympathy and
promises held out by Bryan have
caused the fighting to break out afresh,
and it will from this time on until con-
cluded be fraught with more disaster
to our boys. for they have slowly and
surely been teaching their adversaries
how to fight. For each man who falls
there, be he inspired by sense of duty
or love of war, Bryan is responsible.
The thought of electing such man as
this to the Presidency is utterly repug-

THE AMADOR
In Memoriam.

To the Worthy Matron, Officers and
Members of Golden Star Chapter No
66, Order of Eastern Star of Jackson,
Amador county, California:
We, your Committee appointed to
draft resolutions in memory of our re-
Gently departed brother, Robert John
Adams, who at the time of death was
filling the distinguished Office Of
Worthy Patron of this Order. respect
fully submit the following:
That, Whereas it has pleased the
Supreme Master to remove from our
circle and leave vacant the chair once
occupied by our Worthy Patron and
esteemed brother, Robert John Adams,
of Golden Star Chapter No. 66, Order
of Eastern Star of Jackson, and has
called upon him to appear before the
Celestial Lodge on high, there to ap-
pear before the Great Master,
And Whereas, while in life he ever
proved himself true disciple of the
Order, sustaining all that was pure and
lovely and of good repute, deprec ating
and denouncing all that was wrong,
inspiring human love and alleviating
human misery, until in the community
in which he lived and helped build up,
his life has become enshrined in the
hearts of his fellows as noble and
tender memory:
Be it Resolved, That while we bow
in humble submission to the will of the
Supreme Grand Master of the Universe
we deplore the fate that snatched from
our midst and from his widowed wife
his children, brothers, sisters, and
friends, our beloved and true hearted
brother and Worthy Patron, Robert
John Adams.
1t was characteristic of him that the
act in which he was engaged at the
time OF meeting his sad death, was moi
one necessitated by the ordinary routine
of life, but was voluntary act,
prompted by public civic spirit and in
tended for the benefit of others than
himself. His high, chivalrous sense oi
honor, his sterling integrity, his manly
raight-forwardness, his undisputed
ability, his sweet and pure home life.
have gained for him the respect, ad-
miration and love of Amador county,
and particularly of all who were associ-
ated with him in business, social and
fraternal life. His life, though full oi
accomplishments, had but begun. We
stand in the presence of its broken
column, sorrowful, mute and hopeful.
The will of God is accomplished. So
may it ever be. Amen.
Be it Resolved. that these resolutions
be spread in full npon the minutes OF
this Lodge, and that the Charter oi
this Lodge be draped in mourning for
thirty days, and that copies of these
resolutions be, by the Recording Secre-
tary of this Lodge, forwarded to the
widowed wife and TO the family of our
departed brother and Worthy Patron
residing in this town.
Respectfully submitted in o. E. S.

usual opportunity of comparing the
two candidates by the promises made
by Mckinley four years ago and their
fulfillment, and by the predictions
made then by Bryan and their non
fulfillment.
A very gifted American orator once
delivered lecture which he entitled
THE Mistakes of Moses" This even
ing [ propose to speak of the Mistakes
of Bryan"
We all know that hindsight is more
reliable than foresight, and that it is
easier to be historian than prophet,
yet we also know that there always
must be prophets, leaders, guides,
whose duty it is to point the way, and
whose skill to guide must be in proper
tion to their ability to profit by their
own experience or the experience of
others. OF what availeth the lessons
OF yesterday if they help US not in
meeting the inevitable tomorrow?
Judged by this standard, Mr.. Bryan
has shown himself little adapted to lead
or guide the people. In 1895 he did
not point out road for US to travel
that would not have lead to disaster,
and every road that he designated as
dangerous has led the people in safety,
to the land of prosperity they so eager
ly and SO long sought. In the language
of President Mckinley, ''The prophet
OF evil no longer commands confidence,
because he has been proved to be .
false prophet"

A Runaway.

A wild runaway occurred with J. E.
Huber's fine black team in the streets
of Azusa last evening just after dark.
Mr.. Huber had left his team moment
with his wife, standing in front of
Wade's store, when the horses started
down Azusa avenue for a good long
run home. Mrs. Huber held on to the
lines; guiding the powerful team as
best she could, down to Fourth, across
to Q. Fl. Huber's, up San Gabriel to
Fifth and across the stony ditch to-
ward the west, the heroic driver at last
stopped the team in the brush west of
G. w. Juden's residence. Assistance
soon arrived and Mrs. Huber was found
alive and we'll and quietly talking to
the team her grit had preserved. Not
strap or bolt was broken on the
harness or wagon and Mrs. Huber had
saved her own life by her presence of
mind and bravery .-Azusa Pomotropic.

TuoLuMNE COUNTY

New Era: AT the Providence general
mining is being done and ten stamps
kept dropping steadily.
Machinery for the new mill on the
Hope will soon be landed. Operations
in the mine are continuing steadily and
large amount of ore is on the dumps.
The Dom Paul, an extension of the
Hope, is showing up fine under the
management of the Richard brothers,
with every indication that a strike is
not far off.
Eckel and partner recently opened
up avery rich vein adjoining the Son.
net. In fact, they were not certain
that their find wasn't on ground be-
longing to the Sonnet people until they
prevailed upon the latter to point out
their lines. The ledge is of good size,
well shot with free gold and heavily
impregnated with galena sulphurets.
A Mr.. Julian, employed by the West
Side Company, recently picked up
some rich float near the mouth of Turn
back creek. He Immediately began a
hunt for the vein from which it came
and after considerable prospecting
found it-four feet of quartz, showing
plenty of free gold. Julian stuck up
his notices, had his location properly
recorded, and now stands good chance
OF getting suddenly wealthy.
The Riverside, situated on the Stan
islaus river, 81 miles northeast OF
Columbia, continues to show up ex-
ceedingly well. It is one of the old
mines of California, and many years
ago was equipped with fine 20-stamp
water power mill. The mine was favor
ably reported on by Louis Blanding,
the expert, several years ago for East
ern people and that report is now be-
ing verified-shipments of $3.50 ore now
being made to San Francisco, with con-
siderable rock worth as high as $17OO
per ton. In the days gone by various
companies took hold of the Riverside
but finally gave it up. The lower long
tunnel was driven a great distance into
the mountain-driven until both faith
and capital gave out. Had the proper
prospecting been done Simultaneous
with creating this immense adit there
is no doubt but that the present rich
shoots would have been uncovered
then. The mine is good illustration
of the fact that almost all the old
claims of the State, once abandoned,
are now being worked anew with i'm
proved modern methods of mining
and milling, and that large profits are
resulting from these investments.

Regent Budd Here.

Regent John E. Budd, of Stockton,
in company with Chas. H. Shinn of
the State University, inspected the
Experiment Station in this county re-
Gently. Mr.. Budd was we'll pleased,
and in every way alive to the import
ance of the location and the value of
the work there. He is heartily in
favor of a number of proposed i'm
provements, endorses the needs of the
station in general and IN particular.
His visit has been of much value to the
district.
Foreman Neal of the station has
planted aud has up and growing large
area of European White Lupins in
orchard, to pillow under for fertilizing.
He is also continuing and enlarging the
government experiments with gluten
wheats. This winter the remainder
of the nursery stock of new varieties of
fruit will be planted.

Stand Together.

Keep the voting line unbroken, fellow
Republicans, on election day. Stand
together as one man and victory will be
ours. There is not shadow of doubt
of the result, if every Republican in
Amador county will do his full duty.
Stand by every Republican candidate
from Mckinley and Roosevelt down,
and Fred L. Stewart, VIM. Tam. E. B.
Moore and Wesley M. Amick will be
elected by handsome majorities. Bear
in mind that there is practically not a
single Democrat holding office in this
county to-day that did not get a boost
into that office by Republican votes.
For this one time, then, in the name of
good sense and party fealty, withhold
thy vote from our political enemy and
cast it for a Republican. This is the
paramount issue" in Amador county.

A Lack Of Miners Along the
Mother Lode.
THE GREEK NINE WILL SOON Be REOPENED
A Rich Vein On the Turnback Creek,
Excellent Results at the Riv-
erside Mine.
cALAvERAs COUNTY.

Prospect: The Lew Wallace mine,
located about two miles north-easterly
from San Andreas, is reported to be
looking we'll. This mine is owned by
NJ. Voorhees, and others of San An
dreas, and comprises five full claims OF
1900 feet each. The vein where it has
been cut shows width of 4S feet be-
tween we'll defined walls. The rock
which is decomposed quartz. requires
no blasting, prospects well the whole
width of the vein.
Chronicle: The we'll known Greek
mine, which is soon to be in operation
again, is the most extensively develop
ed mine in this group. 1t has five
stamps mill, concentrators,, hosting
works, etc. This ledge, like the Sheep
Ranch, is an east and west one, but un-
like that mine carries a large per
centage of high grade sulphurets.
There have been found many pockets
or punches of exceedingly rich quartz
in this mine.
In recent item of the Chronicle we
stated that operations would soon be
commenced on a large scale on the
Lucky Boy mine, situated on Dry
Creek near San Andreas. The report
was evidently correct for this week
several loads of machinery for hosting
works passed through San Andreas en-
route to the mine. This property was
formerly owned by James Waters but
was recently purchased by the Mutual
Mining and Milling Company of Bos-
ton. In years past great deal of gold
was taken out of this mine and with
improved latter-day machinery there
is no doubt but that it can be made TO
pay better than it ever did before.
The work will be under the superin-
tendency of U. j. Hussey, an expert
enced miner.
The Mauna Bros. quartz mine is situ-
ated in Wet Gulch, aud is theextehsion
of the Caldwell property. 1t is owned
by B. K. Mauna and D. NJ. Mauna and
was recently bonded to w. II. Rouse
of Oakland for four months, on a work
ing bond, with fifteen days option to
begin active operations. Should pro-
per developments be put on the proper
ty there is no doubt hut that this
would become a good paying PROPOSE
tion.
The Shenandoah mine is another
we'll developed property. They have a
ten-stamp water-power mill, u rock
breaker, self-feeder, etc. The ore is
Of the ribbon character, carrying some
sulphurets. Pockets or punches of
very rich quartz have been found in
this mine. At present the mine is idle,
but hopes of starting up soon are en-
tertained.
The Sparrow Hawk mine, situated
on the Esperanza creek, has been in
corporated through w. I. Harris, and
will soon be in operation. There is no
doubt but that the Sparrow Hawk will
soon be placed on paying basis as it
has all the facilities for economical
work. We wish Mr.. Harris financial
success in his new enterprise.
The Mountain King mine is working
night and day. The mill is idle at
present but will start again as soon as
sufficient rock can be taken out to keep
it running steady.

Populists are Blind.

Misled by the suave and oily-tongued
Nebraskan, and his cohorts of the dem
agogic stripe, the Populist party dance
when they pipe and applaud when they
peep. The Bryan democracy has made
and is making and will continue to
make a catspaw of the Populist party,
unless it arouses itself to the true politi-
cal situation in the United States and
asserts itself before it is too late. 1t is
not an impossible proposition, but, on
the contrary, quite probable, that
Bryan's defeat will he the death blow
to the Democratic party. In that case
the Populist party would take it's
place. Every Populist, therefore, who
votes for Bryan votes against the
chance of his party ever becoming the
dominant one, but, if every Populist
would turn in and support Mckinley,
the Democratic defeat would be so
overwhelming that the old hulk would
sink out of sight and the new Populistic
craft would have the Democratic sea to
itself.
