Election Day.

A typical California day, bright and
beautiful, favored the voters of this
part of the Statelast Tuesday, Indeed,
it was an ideal day. Among those who
had studied the import of the result of
''battle of ballots" there was observ-
able a seriousness seldom seen in Amer
ica. The importance of continuing the
present prosperity of the nation, evil
IDENTIFY weighed heavily upon them.
Locally, there appeared to be an in
difference characteristic of a mining
center. That is to say, the best man
win and damned be he who lags be-
hind'
At the polls of each precinct, there
was excellent order throughout the
day, no loud talking and no ebriety in
terfering with the duties OF the officials
in charge. Undoubtedly, this election
has been carried on here with the least
friction of any election for years. At
each precinct the officials.in charge at
tended strictly to their duties and ap-
peared to be earnestly endeavoring to
conscientiously perform their duties.
The officers of the county were also
in readiness to do their duty should
occasion require. They were not at all
offensive or officious in their conduct
but performed their duties in a most
satisfactory and praiseworthy manner.
The saloons in the main were closed
during the day and until the polls
closed, then the thirsty ones INDUCED
in frequent libations, some of them
OVERRIDING the thing trifle, but in the
main but very few intoxicated persons
were to be seen during the evening,
and they were not at all hilarious or
Quarrelsome.
Considerable money changed hands
on the Stewart-Adams result, and some
on the Woods-Sproul battle.
On the whole, election day in Jack
son, Nov. 6, 1900, was as we'll conduct
ed as any that has ever occurred here.

Il. M. Elliott of this place, owner oi
the Red Rock quartz mine, situated
about three miles from here, is busy
doing the assessment work on his
property. He showed us some very
fine specimens that he took out this
week. The Red Rock mine is undoubt.
edly a good proposition but like
several other good properties it takes
little capital to develop it properly.
Chronicle(2D: We are pleased to state
that the work of development at the
Birdena property at Campo Seco is
progressing we'll and favorably under
the able management of Superintend-
eut W.. w. Wetherwax. Owing to a
shortage of water for battery pur.
poses, the mill has been idle for the
past three months, during which time
shaft or prospect hole was sunk on
the western or foot wall of the lead
A depth of 60 feet was attained, show
ing fine body of sulphureted ore
which assays WE'LL Owing to a heavy
flow OF water, work was suspended al
this point and new double-compart-
ment shalt has been started on the
main lead, one hundred feet east of the
above mentioned prospect shaft.
Prospect: Recent developments in
the Morning Star mine, in Jenny Lind
district, have been most encouraging.
Though considerable work has been
done on the mine, the lead had failed
to materialize. Expert Jennings was
put in charge and in six days work he
uncovered vein that goes s15 to the
ton in free gold and shows plenty oi
rich sulphurets. This shows that ex.
perience is a necessary adjunct to sue
cess in mining. Mr.. Jennings has also
found good milling ore in the groupings
from other parts of the mine.

New Era: The lower Triumph tun-

entirety shows 8 feet between walls
Some time in the future it is the in
tention of the operators to put up a
hoist and begin sinking.
At the Goodwin sinking in the main
shaft was resumed last Monday with
eight-hour shifts. The working has
been timbered for it's entire depth of
250 feet, The vein in the bottom
shows feet OF quartz, of which are a
good grade of ore. The mine can hon
estly be said to look first class through
out, and is steadily being brought into
the front rank of enviable gold pro-
dncing properties,
After ploughing for months through
a sea of harrassing conditions, the sun
is. once more shining pleasantly on the
Spring Gulch. Superintendent Hal
Sisty and two members of the Com
pany. have been busy settling up a
large portion of the bills, and operation
promises to continue in future without
a skip. A number of improvements
are to be placed in at once, The mine
will prove itself a good one Ii only given
fighting chance.
: Both drifts from the 800 foot level of
the Grizzly picked up the shoot after
being driven about 80 feet each. Where
found in the south working it shows
from to 6 feet of good quartz, though
in the other drift the ore body is barely
3 feet. The break in the shoot shows
widening therefore, of $50 feet though
at the level above, the barren space
was not over Ia feet. The rock, how
ever, looks very fine and at all points
the mine is keeping up to the claim
that it is one of the best on the Belt

Wind-up Meeting.

The Republican Rally in Jackson,
last Monday night, was fitting close
to an active and effective campaign.
The jackson Republican Club had
spared neither pains nor expense to
make the last Republican meeting of
the campaign good one. After the
torchlight procession, which was large
and well managed, Webb Hall was
packed and Hon, Geo. G. Pardee, of
Oakland, read an address. The subject
matter was excellent, but our people
are accustomed to off-hand oratory of
an high ordor, SO they did not enthuse
very much during that part of the
meeting. But the address was an able
one, nevertheless, and had an excellent
effect. Hon. John F. Davis, when he
spoke. aroused great enthusiasm and
was cheered to the echo.

tor of considerable merit, but in talk
ing Organism he was evidently handi-
capped, being in the main a sensible
man, by his better judgment. But,
like lawyer pleading poor case, he
threw himself into the work with all
his might and main and threshad over
the old straw with more or less magne-
tism. Really he deserved better

Stewart Among Friends.

A salute of fifteen guns announced
the arrival in Jackson of Hon. Fred L..
Stewart last Wednesday evening, who
arrived from lone, where they tried
their d-st to snow him under. He was
given an ovation by his friends here
who stood by him, AND ELECTED HIM.
Fred L. Stewart is too good boy
and too brainy lawyer to be thrown
over by Jackson people, who know a
good boy when they see him. He will
make one of the best representatives
Amador county has had for years.
His opponent, DR.. Adams, is also a
mighty good man, but, as the LEDGER
said, in the early part of the campaign,
he is needed at home. Sacramento has
doctors enough.
Stewart has the entire confidence of
the Fifteenth District, and he realizes
it and will do his level best in the Leg
islature for us. His election is a tri-
umph for Republicanism in Amador
county, and the LEDGER predicts that
he will become a strong factor in the
work that is to be done to hold old
Amador, from now on, in the Republi-
can rank. The LEDGER takes this
opportunity, in the name Of Fred L..
Stewart, to thank the people for their
earnest and hearty support of this
young champion of good government
and more prosperity And we
especially desire to compliment Oleta,
the stronghold of Democracy, for CIV
ing him majority. Drytown and SUIT
ter Creek are also to be thanked most
heartily.

The old Spanish custom, so much in
vogue in Mexico, Of filling egg shells
with small pieces of tinsel and then
breaking them on the head, arm or

glittering shower of many colored
snow-flakes to envelop the person hit,
was one of the interesting features OF
the evening. In Mexico, at every
dance, Cascarona is indulged in, the
eggs being frequently thrown across
the ballroom, a regular Cascarona bat
tie by both sexes being INDUCED in to
the delight of all engaged.
