is nine miles long and takes twenty
minutes to travel, fresh air being sup
piled at intervals. The construction of
the tunnel cost IS, 900, 600 and required
five years labor by an army of men.
A few hours from St. Gothard
brought us into Como, Italy, by the
noted Lake of Como. Here we found
one e-Italian-while in Switz-
erland it was French and German.
The Lake of Como, the Lacus Larius
OF the Romans, is thirty-six miles long
and its greatest width is three miles.
Its shores are studded with picturesq ue
villages and charming villas with a
background of forest and mountains.
We went to Bellagis where the lake
divides into two arms and from there
rowed across to Cadenabbia where we
saw Canova's original statue 'Love
and Psyche"
Our next stop was at Milan, one of
the largest and wealthiest cities of
Italy. 1t was an important town of
the Romans and was sacked by Attila
in 452, and totally destroyed by Fred
erick Barbarossa in 1852, but is now
great manufacturing place of 300, 1000
inhabitants. The Cathedral of Milan,
built of marble, is one of the noted
ones of Europe. We drove past ex-
Consul D. B. Spagnoli's old residence
and took photograph of the same.
From Milan we went to Monte Carlo,
the greatest gambling resort in the
world, situated in the southeast corner
OF France on the great Mediterranean
sea, and from thence we travelled along
the Riviera westward one hundred
miles to Genoa, which is quaint old
town with narrow, crooked streets.
We have been here five days, but will
start in few hours for Naples, $50
miles southwark. We shall sail out of
the same port that Columbus left be-
hind when he started on his memora BILE
voyage over 400 years ago.
Sincerely yours,
VIM. J. MCGEE.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY

independents: A new shoot of ore in
the Riverside mine has been uncovered
and shows up exceedingly rich.
The Mt. jefferson has masons on the
ground and is arranging to put in new
boiler plant. Ten stamps will also be
added to the ten already in use.
The Gem, near the Mt. Vernon mine
in the Sugar Pine district, is being vig-

and Bottini are the owners.
Capt. A. H. Ward of San Francisco,
is preparing to resume work on his
Pine Blanco properties. The line be-
tween Marfposa and Tuolumne counties
crosses this group of mines which are
situated on the mother lode.
Brown and Rodgers have bonded
their two mines to j. G. Couch, who
was formerly manager for the Merced
Gold Mining Co. This property is just
this side of the Mariposa county line in
Tuolumne, and is an extension of the
McAlpine on the south. Ore is being
taken out for a mill test. An S00-foot
tunnel was run years ago with good re-
suits, while some development work
has been done in later years, showing
the mine to be what is claimed of it.
The owners of the Slap Jack mine,
who are San Jose people, were inspect
ing their property last Wednesday.
The Slap Jack is virtually a new prop
erty with reference to development
The 135-foot shaft on the vein gives the
company much encouragement. A
great deal of improvement has been
carried on in the past few months, such
as new buildings, hoist and air COM
pressor. This promising property is
located near Groveland.
A large mining deal was consumated

Lumber Business Good.

F. M. Whitmore arrived from his
Antelope Mills last Sunday evening,
hale and hearty. Mr.. Whitmore is a
delegate to the Republican State Con-
vention, but his business affairs would
not permit of his absence, so he very
kindly offered his proxy to the editor
of the LEDGER, which had to be de-
clined with thanks for good and sutfic-
lent reasons. The proxy was sent to
Judge Davis. Mr.. Whitmore is well
pleased with his lumber trade this
season, and reports it much better
than last season, and for several years
previous. He is running his mill to
its full capacity.

Phillips-Bowden.

A very pretty wedding took place
Sunday, Sept. ?, 1900, at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Phillips, No. 1909
Fourteenth street, Sacramento.
The bridal party entered the parlors,
which were very tastefully and artis-
tically decorated, at 2 p. m.
Miss Amye Bowden of Sacramento
and Jasper H. Phillips of Plymouth
were the contracting parties.
The bride was attended by her sis
ter, Miss Della Bowden of Sacramento,
while j. H. Mcmillan of Plymouth
acted as groomsman.
Vivian and Susie Seaman made very
sweet little flower girl and ring bearer
respectively.
Owing to the recent bereavement in
the family of the groom's parents, the
wedding was very quiet one, only a
few relatives and friends being present.
After the ceremony, which was per-
formed by the Rev. S. 81. Phillips,
father of the groom, and after partak
ing of bounteous wedding dinner,
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips, mid showers of
rice and well wishes of many friends,
took their departure for the Bay,
where the honeymoon will be spent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips were the re-
cipients of many beautiful presents.
The bride, formerly of Plymouth,
will be remembered by her many
friends there as favorite of the town,
while the groom at present is one of
the popular merchants there.

Nathan S. Fisher, young man of
New York, came to our town about a
year ago for the purpose of obtaining
practical experience in mining engineer
ing among the mines of the famous
mother lode. He worked for a time in
the Keystone mine in various positions,
and from there he went to Jackson to
work at the Argonaut. He then &C.
cepted a position in the engineering
corps of the Amador Railroad Co.,
after which he accepted similar pos
ition in the Standard Electric Power
Co. 1t was in this position that he
contracted a fever which compelled
him to rest. He came to Amador
among his friends. He was confined to
the house but not to the bed most of
the time. He was suffering from an
attack of malaria. The immediate
cause of his death was heart failure,
and at the time of his death he was
surrounded by Brother Masons and
friends.
At the request of his lodge at Nor
wich, N. Y, his body was embalmed
and together with all his personal
effects was sent to that place by ex-
press where it will be received by a
widowed mother and sister.
Mr.. Fisher, by his manly bearing
and sterling qualities, has endeared the
friendship and respect of all who came
in contact with him.
We offer to the bereaved mother and
sister our sincerest sympathies in their
deep sorrow over the loss of so noble
son and brother.

Steam Shovel to Be Used at
Lancha Plana.
A GREAT COPPER BOON At CAMPO SEGO
A New Shoot of Ore at the Riverside
Property.-A Large Mining
Deal Made.
cALAvERAS COUNTY.

Prospect: Thos. W. Jeffries, who has
been at work for some time on the Fran
cisco Omega gravel mine on Central
Hill, has good reports to make of his
mine. He has been running an incline
to cut the channel and the result shows
a triumph of eng sineering skill. He cal
culated that an extension of his incline
for As feet ought to cut the channel, and
at just Al feet he struck the gravel. He
will push the work with all dispatch
now and expects by the time water
comes to have.a goodly quantity of
gravel on the dump.
The old mine belonging to Joe Percel-
10, located in the rear OF his lot in An
gels is to be worked at once. There is
shaft 80 feet deep on the property and
about 20 feet of water is in the bottom.
James Mailman is engaged this week in
taking out the water, after which a
crew will be put to work developing the
mine.
Citizen: Just at the present time the
Mokelumne Mining Company Of Lancha
Plana is making extensive preparations
for working the bed of the Mokelumne
river and will try a new scheme.
Dredgers have been used with some
success, but it is believed that a big
steam shovel, which is being shipped to
the river will prove the best way of
handling the dirt. Here is what the
Lodi Herald has to say on the subject:
"Over at the Southern Pacific depot
awaiting transportation from the broad
guage to the narrow guage line is q
mammoth shovel that is exciting the
curiosity of many Lodians. This huge
piece of machinery was built in Toledo
and is en- route to the Mokelumne Min
ing Company at Lancha Plana. In di-
mensions it would average well with
California com bined harvester but in
weight would exceed the harvester by
many tons. 1t was built at cost of
800, 600, and will fill its purpose at the
mines in scooping up the hidden treas
ure below the rivers bed. 1t is built
upon broad guage fat car and is de-
layed in Lodi while narrow guage trucks
are specially constructed in the railroad
shops at Sacramento to replace the
broader ones. 1t will likely be moved
next Thursday to the narrow guage
track, thence to Wallace, and from
that point over temporary track to
Lancha Plana.
Campo Seco is in the midst of cop
per boom at the present time, and
boom with bottom to it and plenty of
ore in sight to keep it thus for many
years to come. The big copper mines
at that place are now employing large
number of men and much work is being
done. New shafts are to be sunk right
away and other improvements are to be
pushed through. The mines there are
good, paying well and are to be made
to pay better-that is, they are to be
worked more extensively. They are
not being ''prospected" and develop
ed" but are past that stage and are
paying well.
John Mora has gone to Ell Dorado for
few days in the employ of parties in
terested in the Live Oak mine at that
place. An investigation is being made
of the property, and should it turn
,out what is desired, it will change hands
and operations resumed on the mine.
Mr.. Mora will most likely he.the Super
intendent of the mine.
