A Pleasing Performance.

The Guerneville X-Rays of the 18th
inst, has the following to say of the
O,Malley Sisters Company which will
entertain in Webb Hall, jackson,
Friday, June 1st:
''The O'Malley Sisters Company
gave very enjoyable performance at
Union Hall on Thursday evening, the
dancing and singing Of the sisters and
little Edwin being of high order ol
excellence and eliciting hearty applause
and encores from the audience Rob-
ert Lees ight-of-hand performances
were we'll done and sufficiently myster-
ious to keep the audience wondering,
and his juggling with cups, balls and
flying knives was somewhat startling.
Prof. O'Malley does nicely on the
trombone, violin or piano and is en-
titled to great credit for giving lively
up-to-date show. Last and of equal
importance to newsgetters, he always
affords every facility for obtaining full
reports of the successes scored by his
accomplished performers; we hope that
they will again return to Guerneville
and our Russian River Valley.

George Favalli, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Favalli, was playing with his lit
tie sister last Saturday evening at his
home on the Mason-Webb tract, and
while thus engaged received a some-
what painful injury. The little ones
had been playing with wheelbarrow

other in it, when in some manner the
wheelbarrow was overturned, and in
falling struck the right hand of
George, breaking one of the small
bones in the back of his hand. DR..

DEATH MAKES A CLAIM.
After Eight Years of Sickness H. M
Smith Passes Away.

Smith Passes Away.
Last Sunday morning about O'Clock
Harry M. Smith passed away at his
late home at jackson, after battling
with life for more than sixty years.
His death closed an eight years siege
of illness.
Harry M. Smith was born in Eng
land October Is, 1889. In 1870 he
crossed the broad Atlantic and settled
in the United States. Seventeen years
ago he came to Jackson with his family
and here he lived to the time of his
death. In 1885 he became superinten-
dent of the County Hospital and re-
mained as such until 1893, when the
superintendency was given to S. II.
Hawkins. Instead of regaining his
health, which at that time was in
somewhat shattered condition, he be-
gan to get worse, and for the past 8
years had been steadily failing until
last Sunday morning when the end
came.
The burial took place Tuesday after
noon at the Protestant cemetery, Rev.
F. A. Morrow officiating.

posed to be. The vein at the point en-.
counter ed is about five feet in width,
with well defined walls, and shows a
good prospect in free gold. Further
exploration will be necessary to deter
mine the value of the find, but at
present everything looks very favor
able.
The Lightner Mining company OF
Angels Camp is using diamond drill
to tap the old works OF the Fox mine,
which are filled with water. This
water, when the works are tapped, will
be pumped out through the Lightner.
This method was deemed expedient in
order to guard against any probable
accident from breaking into the old
drifts or levels of the Fox mine. The
Lightner company evidently does not
believe in the theory that men are
cheaper than the exercise of proper
precautionary measures.
The crushing of eighty tons of ore
from the Maloney mine, in the Giuffra
mill, was finished last Tuesday and the
batteries and plates were cleaned up.
The result was 20l ounces of amalgam.
The San Pedro mine at Glencoe,
owned by c. A. Berry, WAS bonded last
week to Mr.. Hart for s11, 600, aud the

operations will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.

"A Guardian Appointed.

The case, in which the guardianship
of the six-year-old child of Mrs. NJ
Weeks was applied for by Mrs. Matte
E. Anderson, district deputy of the
Children's Home Finding Society ol
San Jose, and also by Mr. Fred Wick
ers, grandfather of the child, was con-
cluded Monday in the Superior Court
of this county.
The case has excited considerable in
terest, and is the first case of Mrs.
Anderson, since her connection with
the society, of which H. W. Brayton
is uperintendent.
The child had been taken in charge
by the Children's Home Finding Soci-
ETY., and was placed in the home of Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Thompson, parents of
District Deputy Mrs. Anderson, near
Amador City, and had been a member
of the household about ten weeks, SO a
week being allowed for its support.
Recently Mr.. Wickers, grandfather
of the child. applied for letters of
guardianship, as also did Mrs. Ander-
son. The case was brought before the
Superior Court and after pathetic ap-
peals had heen made for both parties
by their respective attorneys, Judge
Rust rendered his decision Tuesday
to the effect that the grandfather was
awarded the guardianship of the child.
Shortly after the dicision was rendered
Mr.. Wickers left for Amador City and
upon filing bond of $500 took charge
of the child and two or three days later
left for his home.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY

Mother Lode: The Neversweat mine
near Columbia is being drained.
Work on the new tunnel of the Mt.
Lily mine has been suspended for the
present.
J. I. Newcomer is working his mill
on Knights Creek with very encouag-
ing results.
7. w. Webb has resigned his position
as foreman of the Clio and Kelley mines
at Jacksonville.
The shaft at the Densmore has
reached a depth of 400 feet, and things
continue to look fine.
Gustave Michel has commenced
operating on his mine, near the Keltz.
Returns from small crushing of ore
from the property are said to be quite
satisfactory.
Nothing is really known as to the
time when the Santa Ysabel mine will
resume operations. Rumors are in cir
culation that work will commence at
once with No. 3 shaft as the center oi
development, but it is only rumor and
in this case the wish is probably father
to the thought.
At the recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Mazeppa Gold Mining
Company in San Francisco the follow
ing directors were elected: D. r. Oliver
J. P. Pryor, J. Fraser, w. G. Lang
don and G.. L. Bishop. The affairs of
the company were reported in prom
ising condition, and H. M. Pense was
reelected superintendent.
The development work now being
actively prosecuted on the Arrow mine
situated about one and half miles
south of Soulsbyville, is showing ex-
ceedingly well. The ore carries high
percentage of good-grade sulphurets,
and samples recently taken from the
bottom of the shaft give as high as
500 per ton in free gold. This mine is
under bond to Charles Fair and Geo.
Knight of San Francisco. George
Dean is superintendent.
Independent: Work is being pros
ecuted steadily at the Golden Rule
mine. This is one of the Jumper Syn
dicate's properties.
Another twenty stamps will soon be
added to the mill at the App mine,
making total capacity of 40 stamps.
The mine is in fiourishing condition.
AT the Tarantula exploration work
is in progress. They are engaged in
sinking and cross-cutting. The prop
erty is operated by an English COM
pany.
The Jumper mine still continues to
uphold its record as one of the banner
mines of the State. Reserves of high
grade ore are blocked out in the mine
sufficient to enable it to be steady
producer for some time to come. A
handsome residence for the manage
ment is being added to the many sur
face improvements. The head offices
of the Jumper Syndicate, which were
formerly in San Francisco, are now at
the mine and are fitted up in first
class style. The shaft is down 1900
feet. The mill is run by electricity
and the compressors by steam.
