Mason-Moore.

A very pretty wedding occurred on
Wednesday of last week, February
7th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
James Moore near Lancha Plana.
The occasion was the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Mayme Moore, to Mr..
David S. Mason, a prominent business
man of Suisun, Solano county.
The home of the bride was appro-
priately decorated for the happy oc-
+cason, and the ceremony was per-
formed in the presence of fifty invited
guests, all of them relatives of the
bride and groom. The Presbyterian
minister of lone performed the cere-
mOny.
The bride was attired in travelling
suit of modecloth trimmed with gold
embroidered white silk and was at
tended by her bridesmaid, Miss Carrie
Moore, who wore blue dress
trimmed with white silk and garnet
velvet.
The groom made stately appear
ance in a suit of broadcloth, and his
best man, Thomas Scully, looked we'll.
After the dinner the wedding party
drove to Wallace where they boarded
the train for Stockton.
Rice and old shoes galore followed
them to the train.
They were the recipients of numer-
GUS and valuable presents.
Soon after the wedding Mr.. and Mrs.
Mason departed for Suisun, their flu
ture home.
Among those present was Mrs. A. B.
Caminetti of Jackson.
We extend congratulations and best
wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Mason and a
long and happy welded life.

CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Citizen: In the Commodore mine,
near town, Superintendent Clary has
cut the ledge, after drifting along it
for 125 feet, after crosscutting from the
300-foot level, and found the ledge to
be twenty-six feet wide, the assays be-
ing satisfactory to the management
Drifting on the vein northward has
been resumed and will be pushed for a
distance of fifty feet, when the ledge
will be again prosecuted. These ex-
plorations are being made with the
view of testing the quality and

hopeful that the injured man will be

The New Power Plant.

Work on the new power plant, which
is being put up by the Standard Elec-
trio Co. on the Mokelumne river, two
miles up the stream from the site of the
old plant, is now under way and the job
will probably be finished about the first
of next year. The new plant will be at
least double the capacity of the first
one, and have almost unlimited water
power.
The road between the old and the
new plant was completed short time
ago at cost of from ten to twelve
thousand dollars. 1t is one of the finest
pieces of wagon road in the State.
There is some talk of the old plant
being used again, as the scorched dyna-
mos can be rewOund and a temporary
shed erected at nominal cost. In case
this is done, jackson and vicinity will
be supplied with electricity for lighting
purposes from the old plant, and the
supply now received from Angels Camp
will be discontinued.

Senator Davis Speaks Through the Cal

Senator Davis Speaks Through the Call.
The San Francisco Call of recent
date. reports Senator John F. Davis of
Jackson, as follows: 'Senator Davis,
Amador's representative in the Senate
and one of the leaders of the upper
house, sums up the work of the extra
session as follows:
The programme on the election of
United States Senator was smashed to
flinders and man without a string to
him from any quarter has been elected
Senator. This result has infused new
life into the Republican party and set
the pace for the coming campaign. All
of the arbitrary power of removal legis-
lation has been beaten, forced to be
withdrawn in the Assembly and
smothered to death in the Senate after
the lightning stroke of Senator Row
ell IS motion to strike out the enacting
clause of the hospital bill.
The fragrant abuse arising out of Sec
ton 10 of the lunacy bill of 1897, max
ing certain officials practically hold for
life under a late decision of the Su-
preme Court, has been corrected by
the repeal of that section and
the Governor is thereby given
the power in legitimate way to cor
rect the evils that had arisen under
that section.
Certain other legislation, including
that for the benefit of San Francisco
harbor, was passed without objection.
The chief object of the session-the
election of second United States Sem
ator-was considered on plane so
high and was so successful in the out
come that the people will cheerfully
pay the $500 that the session has
cost. The splendid record of this ex-
ira session is complete reversal of all
former extra session experiences in
this State. -

Another Pioneer Gone.

Jerry Murphy, an old and highly re-
spected pioneer of Amador county,
died at his late residence in Butte City,
February 10, 1900. The deceased had
been quite low for some time and his
death was not unexpected. His hasty
removal last week from his sons burn
ing house may have, and probably did,
hasten the inevitable end
He leaves two children and many
other relatives to mourn his loss. His
children are Mrs. Maggie Kelly of
Livermore, CAL, and Daniel Murphy
of Butte City.
The funeral, which was largely at
tended, took place from the Catholic
Church, Rev. Father GleesOn officiat-
ing, on Monday, February 18th.

VOLCANO NEWS.
Our Correspondent Awakes and Makes OBJ
servations,

VOLCANO, Feb. 13, 1900.-Every-
thing has been so quiet in our town
since Christmas that ''Grandad"
has been comfortably mapping in his
armchair by the fireside undisturbed
by any outside Influences; he is waking
up once more to see if there is any
thing worth while recording.
Extensive operations in gravel are
going on at Indian Diggings in Ell Do
radO county, about ten miles from
here. The continual roar and cracking
of blasts might make us imagine our
selves at the front with Buller's army
on the Tugela river. While in one case
high explosives are trying to break
down a wall of human flesh; in the
other it is tearing the bowels OF the
earth; in both the motive is the same;
the quest for gold, that powerful in
centive that with facilities. in men and
nations alike, arOuses the vilest passions
of lust and cupidity, and provokes the
noblest acts of bravery and manly
energy.
While quartz mining is almost at a
standstill in our immediate vicinity,
gravel mining is actively pursued. A
crew of five men are running bed
rock tunnel on the Cleveland mine be-
longing to Mr.. Christensen to tap
some rich gravel in the channel. A
tunnel for gravel is also run on the old
Stuart ranch by the owners Of that
Amador ledger., 1900-02-16

mine.
The China Hill and Grizzly Hill hy
draulicking mines are continuing opera
tions and the Messinos' are ground
sluicing some very rich gravel on
ground leased by the tunnel company.
After very superficial prospecting
of the Santirfo claim Mr.. Watkins has
given up his operations there. He ex-
poets to start for Cape Nome as soon
as practicable to introduce there gold
saving machine of his own invention.
The owners of the Santirfo claim will,
themselves, continue the operations
where Mr.. Watkins left off, as pipes
and boxes were left in position for
further use.
After an absence Of about two
months the Mielhert boys, accompanied
by their father, returned from the city
where they spent their Christmas va
cation. They went Immediately to
their quartz claim on the river in order
to continue the prospecting commenced
last year by them.
A couple of our boys expect to leave
soon for Arizona to join Ben Canvin
who has been working there for about
four months in mine situated close to
Chloride and operated by Mr.. Gracy,
formerly of Pioneer. Ben says it is a
lonely place but good for saving money
as you have no accession to spend it.
The Native Daughters intend to give
a masquerade ball in Armory Hall in
the near future. Numerous prizes will
be given and some novel features are
contemplated; the bills will be out in
due time. AS we have not had any
masquerade balls in our town for a
number of years large attendance is
expected both from the town and vi
cinity. The boys say they are all in
for good time and there is no doubt
but what the maskers will be very
numerous.
A tolerably fair show of sleight-of-
hand performance and black art
struck the town for two nights last
week. 1t must be supposed that they
arrived just at the right time as the
attendance was larger than is usual at
that sort of affairs.
Thos. Gillick, who has been under the
treatment of Drs. Goodman and Leak
for over six months for some trouble
with his knee, is improving slowly; he
had to have two operations performed,
the last one cut of about six inches
in length from which he is just recov-
ing. He is progressing as favorably as
could be expected under the circum-
stances.
Well, l guess l can take another nap
and bid you gOodby for today.
Yours truly,
GRANDAD.

The Valentine Entertainment.

The Valentine entertainment, given
by the Epworth League of the M. E.
church last Wednesday, was given as
we'll as the circumstances would allow.
Owing to the absence of performers
and other matters, which went against
the success of the performance, several
changes had to be made, but the good
sized audience had patience and heart
lily applauded the numbers produced.
EncOres were numerous and responded
to promptly. The valentine booth was
well patronized and the postoffice did a
rushing business.
At the close of the programme the
audience was requested to repair to the
National Hotel dining-room and over
two hundred persons did ample justice
to an abundance of edibles.
