cALAvERAs COUNTY.

Chronicle: John J. McSorley, the
mining promoter, made three mining
deals this week-the Sunrise, Thomp-
son and Emerson quartz mines which
were bonded to different parties. The
two former are in Railroad Flat dis
trict and the latter in this district about
Q mile from this town. The Sunrise
was bonded to c.. B. Weatherwax of
Washington, D. c., for nine months
for $4,000, $4,000 of which amount was
paid upon the signing of the papers.
: A new hoist is to be erected immediate
ly on this property, machinery is on
the way from San Francisco and work
will be pushed diligently. The Sun
! rise is most promising prospect and
will no doubt render good account of
itself in the near future.
The Thompson mine is situated upon
the property of c. w. Thompson at
Railroad Flat 1t was bonded to a
Milwaukee company for sixty days for
$1,000. According to the terms of the
bond work must be commenced upon
this property within forty-fve days.
The Emerson mine was bonded for
eighteen months for $500, payments
to be made by installments and work
must be commenced within forty We
days. This property is owned by Geo.
Emerson and is known to everyone in
this district as good property. It
has fine, large ledge and with proper
development this property will prove
its merit.
At the North Star gravel mine in
Happy Valley, work was resumed this
week and the 100 foot tunnel will be
retimbered in places and everything
put in readiness to begin work on a
large scale. This property was closed
down during the summer on account OF
the shortage of water but now this OBJ
stacle is removed and there is nothing
to hinder the prosecution of work as
soon as this preliminary work is fin
ished.
The Gwin mine is dropping full
complement OF eighty stamps and
water power is again being used in
stead of steam.
Work was resumed at the Hexter
mine at the head of Jackass Gulch this
week. About eighty men are at pres
emit at work. The tunnel will be re-
paired in such places as may be needed
and se soon as this is completed the
lower tunnel, which is now in about
1400 feet, will be driven ahead. The
work is under the supervision of Super
intendent Jones. The object of this
tunnel is to tap and drain the immense
Stockton Hill gravel channel.

Trial of s. A. Marchant.

The trial of S. A. Marchaut IN the
Superior Court on Monday and Tues
day of this week resulted in the jury
disagreeing, after being out from 3:15
until 8 o'clock p. M, and the Judge set
a new trial for Nov. 26th. Chas H.
Crocker was Marchant's attorney and
brought the conflicting evidence, he
had secured, to bear with great force
upon the case.
The following is synopsis of the
case: On the night of August Sd, Nick
Gardella, went to bed in sleeping
house near the Kennedy mine, occupied
by several miners, with a purse con-
tanning seven twenty dollar gold pieces
and one five dollar gold piece, which,
when he retired he had in the pocket
OF his shirt. During the night he had
occasion to get up. returning to bed
again. In the morning he went to
work in the Kennedy mine, and after
working about an hour, discovered that
the money was missing. He came to
town and had Marchant arrested, but
was unable to give any direct reasons
why he suspected Marchant
Marchant tells the following story:
That shortly after Gardella had gone
to work he arose from his bed, and
went to breakfast in building near
by. After breakfast he returned to
the sleeping house, and prepared to
shave himself, and that while thus en-
gagged, he noticed purse but a few
inches from the porch, which he found
contained S145. He placed the money
in his trunk and after shaving went
down town and returned about IL
o'clock, and shortly afterwards was
arrested. When asked about the
purse and money by the sheriff Mar
chant told him where it was, and both
purse and money were taken possession
of by the officer.
We are informed that the jury stood
seven for acquittal and FIVE for convic-
tion.

About 10 o'clock Tuesday morning a
fatal accident occurred at the depot at
lone, Charles Heryford aged about 20
years, being the unfortunate victim.
1t appears that carload of 16x16
tim bers were to be unloaded and
Charles Heryford was among the crew
employed for that work. He was
standing between the car and a large
pile of timbers that stood close to the
track. He was told by his fello wwork-
man to go to the other side of the car
where there was less danger, but did
not heed the advice. In preparing to
unload the car of large timbers,
the end of one swung around. Hery-
ford's head was caught between the
end of the timber and the lumber pile,
crushing his head to pulp. Blood
and brain matter were strewn around
for several feet.
But short time ago the deceased
was called from Nevada, as his brother
who had received serious injuries by
falling lumber at the same place, was
not expected to live.
The young man improved and finally
got we'll. His brother secured his place
at the depot, where he worked to the
time of his death.
A few months ago an older brother
was killed by falling from railroad
bridge.
The heartfelt sympathy of the COM
munity is extended to the surviving
mem bers of the family.

Fire at Granite Station.

Last Sunday evening at about 9
o clock quite confagration occurred
at Granite Station, which resulted in
an entire loss of the Spear property.
1t appears to have been the work of
an incendiary. The upper story of one
building was used as dwelling apart
ments while the first story was used as
saloon and storeroom. Across the
road there was another building, the
upper story of which was hall while
the lower story was used as stable.
Several sheds adjoined the building.
The two buildings were about 200 feet
apart with road between them, but,
nevertheless, fire was discovered in
each at or about the same time, show
ing that it was maliciously set afire.
The property was insured in the

cend. The pioneers of 81 after cross
ing Chilcoot Pass to the head of Lake
Lindermann or White Pass to its foot,
made boats of green logs, saving them
into boards by hand, and passed down
Lake Bennett, Lake Tagish, Six Mile
River, Lake Marsh, Fifty Mile River,
Lake Lebarge, Thirty Mile River
which unites with the Hootalinqua and
becomes the Lewes which joins the
Pelly at Fort Selkirk and forms the
Yukon. Miles Canon and White Horse
Rapids were the scene of many wrecks
and total disasters. This year the
railroad was completed to White Horse
in June. AT that time only one house
was built there. Now it has about 1000
inhabitants, six hotels, two newspapers,
bank and the usual number of stores,
saloons and dance halls. We stopped
at the Windsor Hotel, three-story
building nicely papered and painted,
but with very little furniture. Ny bed
stead was made of spruce boards nailed
together but with comfortable mattress
and bedding. The meals were very
ordinary but charge of two, dollars
each for lodging and a dollar for each
meal, proved it first class in some re-
spects. There are only about dozen
buildings of wood or iron, the tents
number several hundred. One large
tent bears the sign-Canadian Bank of
Commerce. Four steamers lie at the
wharf an average OF two arrive and de-
part daily. They would average well
with those on California rivers but they
are broad and draw very little water as
the river is full of shoals. Two ware
houses, one thousand feet long, are
filled with merchandise for the interior
and three freight trains arrive from
Skagway daily. 1 counted fourteen
engines and boilers on the platform all
marked Dawson. The freight for the
Atlin District is left at Lake Bennett.
The steamers will be unable to handle
the freight before the river freezes but
the scows will take down great deal.
An elegant depot is being built here
and the G. D. Co., Canadian Develop
ment Company which owns most of
the steamboats, and probably belongs
to the r. R. Co., is building docks and
ways" to keep boats through the
winter. The transportation Companies
are spending more than two hundred
thousand dollars here in improvements
this year.
From four to seven miles west of the
river is copper belt just discovered.
1 spent nearly day visiting it. The
country is fairly green with copper ore.
1t crops out in the lodges and under
foot for miles. Much of it is over so
per cent copper and also carries several
dollars in gold per ton. 1t is said that
unless coal for smelling can be found
near by, the mines will be handicapped
by distance but it seems incredible that
SO rich ore can remain long undevelop-
ed. A few years will tell, however.
After three days of sightseeing We
were glad to return to where ''old
glory" waves once more.
Sam Parks called on us yesterday.
He looks well and hearty. He has just
left for Dawson with Mr.. Dwyer and
r&ubbins. Yours truly,

THE AMADOR
An Election Bet.

Last Sunday afternoon a peculiar
bet was paid. Some time previous to
the recent election, Pete Senney was
confident that the free silver advocate
would be chosen as the next occupant
of the White House at Washington,
while Gill Boon of the Globe Hotel, had
a decidedly different view of the result.
While the two were in conversation on
the chances of the candidates one day,
the bet was made that if Bryan came off
victor Boon should give Senney ride
in wheelbarrow for stated distance,
and vice versa, the loser to wear a band
of crepe around his hat.
Instead of wheelbarrow, however,
a cart was used. The cart was hand
somely decorated with red, white and
blue bunting. At the rear of the cart
was a picture of Bryan reversed, while
in front was picture of Mckinley.
On Sunday afternoon shortly after
o'clock, the cart was brought to the
Globe Hotel, to await the pleasure of
Mr. Boon. In short time Mr.. Boon
appeared with silk hat, around which
was band of bunting of the national
colors. He got into the vehicle and
was comfortably seated on chair.
Senney had secured six boys to draw
the cart, while he directed its course
from behind.
The jackson Band was in attendance
and led the procession from the Globe
Hotel to the bridge on North Main
street, down to the National Hotel and
then back to the Globe.
Fully thousand people witnessed
the event and cheered and threw bou-
quets at the winner of the bet.
