Peerless Directors Meet.

On Monday, April I'd, the regular
meeting of the directors of the
Peerless Gold Mine Development
Company was held at p. m. in
the Company's Office, Court street,
Jackson. A full board was present as
follows: E. Ginocchio, President; W.

Burlington.
Superintendent Henry Osborne was
also present, with whom the directors
conferred relative to various matters
of Importance.
The current expense bills were aud
tied and ordered paid, and the April
assessment of 2 cents share ordered.
The shaft is down about 160 feet and
the indications are considered by Su-
perintendent Osborne better than at
any time previous. Harmony prevails
throughout and the bump of hope con-
tinues to enlarge. Notwithstanding
the hard rock during some of the
work, the average so far has been over
forty -one feet per month, a very good
average under the circumstances.
Bids on contract to sink 100 feet were
ordered, the notice of which appears
elsewhere in this issue.

Picnic.

Lowering clouds and admonitory
barometrical indications had no effect
last Suday morning on party of Jack
son young folks who proposed to en-
JOY an outing. so at 9 O'Clock a. m., or
thereabouts, a carriage load or two
left town for the picturesque region oil
Middle Bar destination, Hon. Jacob L.
Sargent's home, adjacent to which
the picnic was to be held. The win
dows of heaven remained closed, for,
tunately, until the merrymakers were

Jolly Neighhors.

On a pleasant afternoon last week,
the entire population of Scottsville en-
gagged in match game of baseball, the
women and children entering into the
spirit of the exhilarating sport with all
the vim at their command. It was q
pleasant sight to see, and one almost
envied them the royal pleasure they
were having. This is an excellent ex-
ample for others to follow. Our Amer
lean women are cooped up too much.
If they would get out into the sun
shine and pure air oftener and engage
in regular romp, they would be
healthier, happier and better looking.
All honor, to the happy denizens of
Seottsville.

by these clever beasts.
Cape Nome is all the talk among
men and, by the way, Mrs. Hill of Ca
manche, Calaveras county, was here
and purchased her ticket for Cape
Nome. She is TO sail on the first
steamer for the frozen north. 1t leaves
San Francisco about May 25th.
Forty-seven one-hundredths of an
inch of rain fell here within the last
forty-eight hours. The farmers are all
happy for this insures very good
crop of grain and the price of wheat is
slowly rising. The hay crop will be
enormous as will also the fruit crop un-
less we have heavy frost. Strawberries
are already in the market.
l read with regret of the result of
the High School vote in Sutter.
''All things come to him who watt"
so it must be that in the course of the
next century or so Amador county
will wake from her slumber,. rub her
eyes, jump up and with pick and shovel
hurriedly dis-inter some of her buried
metallic treasure and with il have
erected a mill wherein the finer metals
of thought and mind can be refined and
FURNISHED until her sons and daughters
may proudly claim and justly hold an
honOred place in the company of the
Intellectually great.
1t might not be amiss to suggest that
Amador bury some of her treasure in
her public highways. 1t might i'm
prove them-it could not injure them.
Ii the voters who voted at the high
school election had to ride far to vote
it is not surprising that they did not
vote favorably for mental inn mprovement
when their whole attention must needs
have been occupied by their corporeal
necessities and discomfort, and the
blacksmith bills to pay for wagon re-
pairs.
The Beers seem to be gaining on the
British force again. The prophetic
poem of James E. Clark, written some
twelve years ago, may yet be proven
prophecy. Allow short quotation
from it:
Woe to the robbers who gather
In telds where they never have sown,
VINO have stolen the Jewels from labor
And bu1lded to Mammon throne
For the snow king asleep at the fountains
And descend in his rage from the noun
tainS,
Bring terror, destruction and death
And the throne of their god shall be cruu,-
bled,
And the sceptor be swept from his hand,
And the heart Of the naughty be humbied
And servant be chief in the land;
And the truth and the power united
Shall rise from the graves Of the true,
And the wrongs Of the Old time be riRhted
In the might and the right Of the New
For the Lord of the harvest hath said it.
Whose lips never uttered lie
And his prophets and poets have read il
In symbols of earth and Of sky,
That to him who hath reveled In plunder
Till the angel Of conscience is dumb,
The shock of the earthquake and thunder
And tempest and torrent shall come
Swing inward, o. gates Of the future
Swing outward ye doors Of the past,
giant is waking from slumber
And rending his fetters at last,
From the dust where his proud tyrsnts
found him
Unhonored, and scorned and betrayed,
He shall rise with the sunlight around him
And rule In the realm he has made"

VOLCANO.
Miss Stella Cranna, Sister of Daileys Star
Actress, Is in Volcano.

VOLCANO, April 3, 1900.
A much-needed rain has at last bro.
ken the long dry spell, but it has so
chilled the atmosphere that it is. to be
feared that frost may follow, which
would cause considerable damage to
fruit trees and other vegetation pre-
maturely advanced by the extraordi-
narily mild weather which prevailed
during the month of March.
Great preparations are being made
for the masquerade ball to be given by
the Native Daughters of this town on
April Goth. The decorations of the
hall, under the direction of Mr.. Chris
tensen, will be quite elaborate and
unique. l have heard of many origi-
nal and beautiful costumes that will be
worn on the night of the ball, but [
cannot, of course, divulge the secret.
The proceeds are to be donated to the
Grand Lodge entertainment fund. A
large number of outsiders are expected.
and no effort will be spared to make
the visitors feel-at home and to insure
them an enjoyable time. We hope
that this affair will have the same sue
cess as generally attends all the under
taking5 of Conrad Parlor.
Miss Stella Cranna, of San Francisco,
is visiting Miss Ella Clute. Her sister.
Miss Virginia Cranua, is one of the
leading members of the Daley COM
pany that will visit Jackson and Sutter
Creek next week. This is what Clown
Talk, published in San Francisco, has
to say about her: "About year ago
Miss Cranna was engaged to accom-
pany the Janet Waldorf company
through the Orient as far as Hong
kong. She made her debut with that
company at the late Comedy Theater
as Marie in Twelfth Night and re-
ceived many hattering compliments for
her creditable performance. From that
moment she became a favOrite with the
company as well as with the public.
After her return from the Orient she
was engaged by Mr. Daley of the
Daley company, which is travelling
along this coast with success. She has
proved her cleverness in soubrette
parts during the last five months. The
critics in the interior towns are lavish
in their praise of Miss Cranna's work.
One of the most prominent sketch ar
lists appearing at the Orpheum offered
her position in his company. The
young lady's contract with Mr.. Daley
prevented her accepting this engage
ment. Miss Cranna is a pretty young
woman, with lots of energy and am
bition, and she will no doubt, ere long
make her mark. -
The fine spring weather has awaken
ed the baseball fever in the boys, and
there is a great concourse of the lovers
of this great sport every Sunday in
our town.
The store occupied by the China
merchant (Sing Keel for period of
over thirty years has been closed, and
nearly all the Chinese have departed
from our town. The old shanties oc-
cupied by them for many years are be-
ing demolished, and soon the last yes.
tige of Chinatown will have disap-
peared. GRANDAD.

From Siberia.

Paul Maltzoft of Siberia, arrived in
California about two months ago, and
last week visited this mining center
making his headquarters at the New
National. He is out for the Russian
government and commissioned to eX-
anime into mining machinery, methods,
etc., of various countries. From Cali
fornia he will go to New Zealand. Mr..
Maltzoft expressed great surprise at the
modern machinery for mining and the
facilities this country has for working
deep mines to advantage. He says
Siberia has good mines, but very crude
and inadequate machinery. According
to this traveller, Siberia has very rich
placer mines.
