Senator Van Cleef, of NIiddlesex County
doesn't know whether he viii serve the Demo-
Gratis again a candidate for Senator or not
but If he should 10 so he has said that he would
prefer to be defeated by Mayor Williamson than
any one else. Wherefore the Republicans down
that way are hoping that the Senator will not
accept denomination. for the reason that they
dislike to defeat so genial man. even if he is
a Democrat. although they are under obligations
TO do so.
The result of the remark now in general cir
culation that Congressman Howell knows his
own mind has been TO give several Of his New
Brunswick and Metuchen constituents a closer
acquaintance with him.
1t may appear to be singular but assurance
is given that even the Freeholders of Hudson
County are in favor Of Senator McDermott's
bill now pending in the Legislature. The bill
reduces the number of Freehoders in that coun-
" from forty nine, and the salary list Of the
Board from $4,000 to S13,5O0. Another good
feature Of the bill is that it Will not only pre-
vent the election of lot Of hlibuSters, but VIII
Increase the responsibility of the members TO
the public Any measure that will help to fix
responsibility on Hudson County politicians of
the first. second and third class especially the
latter, ought TO have chance for its life.
The complaint is general that the Legislature
is making a record for doing nothing. Hence
there is an impression that it would be wise TO
give the New Jersey statesmen the opportunity
to avoid overwork in this way by providing for
biennial sessions.
THE report that there may be a foOtrace be-
tween Aguinaldo and Colonel Bryan TO decide
who shall have the delegates to the National
Democratic Convention from New-Jersey lacks
confirmation.
The sharpest criticism yet made OF the New
Brunswick Board Of Aldermen was made yester-
day by citizen Of that town. He said: When
there is something that ought 10 be done that
for political reasons our Aldermen don't want to
do, they Immediately discover that there are no
funds; but when there is anything to do that
promises TO be advantageous to them politically
there is no lack OF funds, and they do not pass
the hat around among themselves at that"
First a dance in barn and then a smoker in
a clubhouse! verily, that seat in Congress
which the political prophets have reserved for
a dark horse and Charles ]. Fisk are getting
closer and closer together. The best Of 1t all is,
the man and the place may meet and recognize
each other when the sign comes right.

The New Railroad.

A special dispatch from San Andreas
to the San Francisco Call, March "a,
says:
In an interview tonight David
Gutmann, the promoter of the pro-
posed railroad in Amador county, said:
''The railroad from lone to the summit
near Martell's will be built before
August. That terminus will place the
line on the true mother lode, whence it
is our purpose to build north and south,
but the distance we will reach will be
determined wholly by future events.
Our faith in the country is unlimited
and our scheme has no connection with
any other existing railroad in the
State. The men interested in the en-
terprise are Eastern railroad men, who
go into this enterprise for purely busi-
ness purposes and have in mind their
own future movements.

Believes In PROGRESS.

D. Mccall, proprietor of the lone
Flour Mill, accompanied by his son
George, visited the county seat
Wednesday. Mr.. Mccall says the
proposed railroad from lone to Jack
son will, in his judgment, benefit the
entire county, and that the people
should cordially greet the capitalists
who propose building it and show more
appreciation, He thinks public meet
ing of welcome should be held and res
olutions of endorsement and other
marks of good will should be forth
coming from our people. He does not
believe in getting in the way of the
wheels of progress, but, on the con-
trary, believes in getting aboard as
soon as possible and aiding in the good
work of permanent advancement.

OVERCOME BY POWDER GAS|
Jack Kenney Expires From
It's Effect.
PUT IN A BLAST OF SIX HOLES, BUT TWO FAILED
After a Reasonable Delay They Went
Into the Tunnel to Reload the
Holes That Missed.

A sad affair occurred at Jackson
Butte mine, owned by r. L. Marsh.
last Sunday afternoon, resulting in the
death of one man and the close call of
another. 1t appears that Jack Ken
ney and w. A. Kennedy, mining part
ners, put in a blast of six holes in the
tunnel, only four of which exploded,
two OF them turning out to be what is
known in mining parlance as 'stink-
ers-." After time Kennedy went in
and reconnoitered and found the
powder smoke too thick for safety.
He came out of the tunnel and waited
for some time and then made second
attempt but failed. Later, he went
in and famed the smoke out and he
and Kenney then concluded it was safe
to clean out the two holes and reload
them. They went In together, and
while Kennedy famed the smoke away
with an old coat Kenney cleared out
the holes. When the holes weresclean,
both set to work to load them, but be-
fore the job was finished Kennedy was
overcome by the powder smoke and
Kenney after trying in vain to get him
out alone, rushed out for help and he
was shortly after rescued.
While Mr.. and Mrs Marsh. and
others, including Kenney, were en-
gagged in resuscitating Kennedy, his
partner, Kenney, suddenly complained
of feeling faint and took small swal-
low of camphor. He died almost i'm
mediately after doing so.
On Monday, March 26th, Coroner
Gritton held an inquest on the body,
the jury finding that the deceased was
named Jack Kenney; was native of
Illinois, aged about 43 years; that he
came to his death on the 25th day of
March, 1900, by inhaling poisonous
gases from burnt nitro -glycerine pow
der while at his work in the Jackson
Butte mine. The jury was composed
of the following citizens: John T.
Kelley, Harry Ashe, P. L. Cassineli,
Thomas w. Bosanko, J. S. Avise, N.
Ferari, ]. E. Ruffner.
Deceased had relatives in Stockton,
among them mother and sister, and
his remains were sent there Tuesday
for burial, Undertaken w. E. Kent
preparing the remains for shipment.

TUoLuMNE COUNTY.

Independent: The main shaft of
the Densmore mine has attained
depth of over 800 feet and
the ledge still continues show
ing up well. A new tunnel has been
started which it is said will tap the
shoot at d depth of 500 feet. Several
men were added to the force this week.
The last of the sixty stamps of the
new Trio mill were hung last Thurs
day. The big plant will be ready for
its initial trial in six weeks and nothing
has been spared to make it one of the
finest in the State. Each mortar
weighs almost three tons, and each
stem with stamp 11O0 pounds. There
will be sixteen 30-foot concentrators.
These will be operated by a thirty
horsepower dynamo, while two of
seventy-five horsepower each will
do like duty for the crushing
department. Two OF the dynamos
have already been installed and
the remaining smaller one will be
placed In during the coming week.
The rock breaking plant is also being
hurried along and will be ready for bus
mess at the same time as the mill. 1t will
consist OF three crushers and tons of
Cornish rolls. There are thousands of
ore on the dumps and much more COM
ing out of the mine every day. Sink
ing In the new shaft is going on con-
tinuously and it is now 25O feet deep.
In the second shaft, which is $50 feet
deep drifting is going on at the 700 and
50OIlevels. At the latter point the drift
has been run under the first mention
ed working, and miners are raising to
meet the sinking forces. Taken as
whole, the Trio is one of the best look
ing, best appointed, busiest mines in
the country. J. P. Munger is the cap
aple superintendent.
AT the HyapOoh the main tunnel is be-
ing pushed ahead by Messrs. Woodruff
and Ball, the lessees. It is expected to
strike the principal shoot in fifteen feet
more of drifting. The mine has yield
ed $50, 900 from series of pockets.

retim bered the drain tunnel. The
hoist is now being overhauled, under
the direction of Engineer Hildebrand.
Active operations in the mine will be
resumed about the first proximo.
At the Mt. Vernon mine, about one
mile south of the Green, development
work is to. be resumed shortly by the

Burglars at San Andreas.
JAMES E. DYE,
Saoretarv

A dispatch from San Andreas under
date of March 23d, says:
"The residence of ex-Judge Ira Hill
Reed was entered by burglars this
afternoon and robbed of 5000 in gold
coin, a lady's gold watch and diamond
ring. The money and jewelry were in
an old-fashioned safe, the key of which
was kept in bureau drawer, and, be-
ing found by the robbers gave them
easy access to the coin.'
Robberies and attempted robberies
seem to be of frequent occurrence in
Calaveras county, making plenty of
work for the officers of the law.
Later: The nephew of Judge Ried
Is suspected of the crime, and has left
San Andreas. Sheriff's have been
asked to arrest him if found in their
