Squire Breese Passes Away.

Squire Breese passed away at his late
residence in Sutter Creek at o'clock
on Saturday morning of last week,
after more than three score years and
ten of this life. He had been up all day
Friday and retired about o'clock that
evening. In the morning about 2
o'clock he expired. Death is sup
posed to have resulted from feebleness
brought on by old age.
Deceased was born in St. Lawrence
county, New York, November Is, 1928.
In 1856 he came to California, locating
in Ell Dorado county, where he re-
turned to New York for his wife and
only son, Raymond Breese. He re-
turned with his family to Ell Dorado
county in 1859 and remained there un-
til 1862 when they removed to Sutter
Creek. and resided there up to the
time of his death.
Mrs. S. L. Breese, five grand chill
dren and daughter-in-law, all residing
in Amador county, and also three
brothers, residents of New York state,
survive him.
Interment took place at Sutter Creek
on Sunday

Mr.. Noce is well liked among all OF
the miners. and the vacancy left by
him will be hard to fill satisfactorily
It is rumored that Attorney Edward
Lynch, the Keystone Company's legal
adviser, will soon be made superinten.
dent of the mine and his son foreman.
Last Wednesday evening ten men
arrived from Grass Valley and ten
more were expected last night. This
means something and as the men say
they are to work at the Keystone, sug-
gested that resident employees will be
discharged. We are informed that
a mum Der of miners have already been
let off.

Bunker Hill-Amador.

The Bunker Hill mine is still CEN
ter of interest to local mining parties
and all who are connected Herewith
are confident of good returns from this
"old-timer. Superintendent Downs
installed large steam pump last week
weighing about thirty tons. The shaft
will soon be unwatered and after the
most dangerous places are made safe
and the workings put in good condi-
tion, prospecting will begin. Without
doubt good prospects will be found and
within year the Bunker Hill property
will have large mill which will be fur
nished with as high grade rock as can
be found in any of our Mother Lode
gold producers. Success to the under
taking.

Granted An Injunction.

Judge Morrow of the United States
Circuit Court yesterday gave verdict
in favor of the plaintiffs in the injunc-
tion suit brought by Percy L. Shuman
and Gustave Banmann vs.. Isaac M. de
Witt. The defendant is the owner of
the Haley mine in Amador county,
and sometime ago he entered into a
contract with the plaintiffs to run a
tunnel LOCO feet long in the mine,
plaintiffs to bear all the expenses
and have all the gold and silver
they extracted from the tunnel They
were also privileged to sell the mine,
and, failing to do so, were to pay de
Witt one-tenth of what they took out.
De Witt prevented the plaintiffs from
carrying out their contract, and re-
straining order was asked for to pre-
vent him from further Interfering
with their operations
Amador ledger., 1900-03-16

Koch of the Rose Hill placer mine, near
Ell Dorado. was standing near the tail
race Of the mine. his attention was at
tracted 10 a peculiar piece of rock being
washed down the race. He made q
grab for the rock, and was rather sur
prised at his find. The piece proved to
be almost entirely gold, and was found
to weigh five ounces, of which at least
three ounces are believed to be gold.
The man was lucky to see it as he did
for in another moment it would have
been hopelessly buried in the debris.
Hon. Frank E. Dunlap, of Stockton,
president of the Oriole Mining Com
pany, has been in Angels for the past
week, making arrangements for the
extensive working of the mine. A
ten-stamp mill has been ordered and
will be put up at once, and the main
shaft will be sunk fifty feet further,
making 500 feet in all. There is now
on the mine gallows frame with all
the necessary machinery for sinking
1000 feet.
The ST. Lawrence is still pumping
water, and will have the mine clear in
short time. By the time the water is
out the mill will be ready for operation
and work of taking out ore will be Wig
ously pushed.
At the Jones mine they are taking
out good rock that will pay we'll for
crushing. The outlook for this mine
is most encouraging.
Citizen: h. F. Whirlow, superin-
tendent of the Lightner mine, at Ang-
els, was in town in the early part of
this week. He reports the Lightner,
which is largely owned by enterprising
Stocktonians, is doing splendidly.
The forty stamps of the new mill are
banging away day and night on rock
that averages at least 50 u ton, and the
future of the property never looked
more hopeful.
The Ford assessment has been ex-
tended to the 10th instant. 1t is under
stood that this is done to accommodate
Mr.. Gutmann, and local holders are
somewhat worried over the matter.
The company has paid off the $1,000
second mortgage which was held by
James Caseyl made Juno IA, 1899, by
handing over to MIR. Casey S2144 on
the 4th instant. Work on the mine
continues with the usual force.

They Inspected the Back Door Of the su-
perior Candy Store.
On Friday night of last week, while
w. 7. Cain was sitting in the back
room of his candy store about II o'clock
some one walked up to the door and
gave it bang as though he wanted to
get in. Mr.. Cain jumped up and ask
ed, s'Who's there?" He received no
answer. Cain then rushed through
the store and down the street to get
the nightwatchman. He found Night
Watchman Parker in front of the
Snug saloon, and together they went
back to investigate, but no trace of any
one could be found.
At the time the unknown person at
tempted to enter the store everything
was lighted up. There are two win
dows in the back room through one of
which the interior of the room can be
viewed 1t was rather a peculiar way
to try to break into the place.
On the same night an attempt to en-
ter both the Fuller and Driscoll resi-
dences at Scottsville, and also James
E. Dyes lodging house at the Amador
Queen mine, No. 1.
Two parties were suspected but no
effort was made by the officers to dis
cover the person or persons.
