Let There Be Peace.
Amador Ledger:


1t was once written Let sleeping
dogs lie.' That was long before the
day Amador county sported a court
house, supervisors or janitor. The
idea was good then, and it seems to
me judicious now.
One organization has already gone
on record with the ancient motto be-
queathed us by primitive man ITO the
victors belong the spoils "a motto
furnished by modern civil service.
Partisanship is excellent, and the wheel
horse of victory, as the homogeneous
ness of the democratic party has often
proved to our sorrow. But, at times,
It may be unpolitic to strip the defeat
ed warrior, leave him naked upon the
field and publicly wrangle for his last
garment; although to do so quietly
as q reward to the rank and file, is a
recognized asset of political warfare.
1901 is we'll past its zenith, the
''pOwers that be" have. made their
policy understood, and right or wrong,
the janitor question should have long
ago been we'll asleep. Is it wisdom to
stir up that sleeping dog with kicks,
or rather, would it not be wisdom to
accept the inevitable for peace sake,
and let the slum bering question sleep
that the campaign of '92 may be a true
copy OF that of 80.

indorse all its statements.-ED.

Destructive Fire Averted at Volcano
Personal Mention of Amador
City People.

VOLCANO, July ia delightful
farewell party was given last Friday
evening in Armory hall in honor Of
Mrs. Dillon and Miss Francis Cassinelli,
who returned to the city next morning
after spending the summer at their old
home.
What might have proved very de-
structive forest fire broke out near
town last Thursday. 1t originated, or
rather was started, directly In town,
and was due to the gross carelessness
OF house owner burning rubbish
takes to tell, the fire got beyond con-
troll and spread over the long dry
grass on rocky hill like on powder
trail. 1t took every available hand
around town the best part OF the day
to circumscribe 1t aud prevent serious
damage. Only the loss of few fences
and some cattle feed and timbers are to
be deplored. Great Indignation was
freely expressed over the thoughtlees-
ness of the person responsible for the
fire. 1t is so easy TO take a few COM
mon sense precautions such. as the
gravity of the interests at stake de-
mand. Even If no serious damage re-
suited it Is no fun to fight fire with the
sun at a temperature of 90.
Messrs. "A. Grillo, G.. Bradshaw, M.
Christensen and John Clute returned
Monday from short fishing trip to
the river near Blakeley's place. They
captured about Is dozen trout. The
fish did not seem to bite very lively,
but they say they had tip top time
though they appeared to be some tired.
Ed Mielert and w. Boydston went to
the city last Saturday, the latter TO
undergo an examination in pharmacy.

Matured Stock.

Judge r. G. Rust and Richard Webb
received notice from the Pacific States
Building and Loan Society Of San
Francisco last week, that their shares
in that organization would mature
with the July payment, and that the
par value of their stock would be pay
able at the Office in San Francisco on
July 20. We believe this is the first
notification Of the maturing of stock
received by shareholders in Jackson.
The above named persons became
members in September, 1891, There
were many others in this town who
subscribed for shares at the same time;
burt from one cause and another nearly
all dropped out, realizing on their
stock before it matured.
It has taken ten years, lacking one
payment, for the stock to mature. 1t
was stated at the outset that the shares
would mature in seven years, which
would give fully II per cent per
month on the money invested. This
was too roseate q promise to be realiz-
ed in these days of flush money and
low interest. Maturing in ten years,
the members receive one hundred dol
lars on total payment of trifie over
$40 per share. This is fair rate of
interest-much better in fact than can
be had by depositing in any savings
bank. The Pacific States Building
Association is one of the soundest and
best conducted organizations on the
coast,

The supervisors of Tuolumne county
have employed Mr.. Holland to. collect
all money due that county from the
state for the support of orphans and
half orphans, on a commission of %
per cent of all the money collected by
him and paid into the treasury. We
have no exalted opinion of the useful
ness of the cinch measures under which
such claims are foisted upon the state,
but inasmuch as other counties are
getting into line on this proposition,
would 1t not be as we'll II Amador coun.

DEFENDER.

DEFENDER, July 15.-Defender was

The Crammer brothers were visi-

A shot was put in the ledge under
the dyke at the 300 foot level in the

was the result. The ledge is 10 feet
wide and richer than ever. The De-
fender has very bright future.
Ed. Mehlert went to his home in San
Francisco last Friday, and expects to
stay home for few weeks.
The road at the bridge was fixed
last week and is very much better, but
it,wouldn't do any harm to put a few
days more work upon 1t for it is a dis.
grace to any county to own such a
road. can't see why we can't get
any road work done in this part of the
county. We pay our road tax the
same as anybody, but l guess our
money is no good. Yours.

Mining Nows.
FERDINAND MAYER,

Oneida-It is common report that
within the past two weeks several rich
pockets have been encountered in this
mine, on the 1900 level. The pockets
are estimated at about s10,o each,
and the number of these rich streaks
is given as three. We are unable to
confirm these rumors from official
sources, and while the value of the
rich spots may be exaggerated, we are
inclined to believe that ore of much
richer grade than the average sent to
the mill has been uncovered in the
deep levels of this mine..

A GREAT SHOW.
Hal the Healer Continues to Draw Immense
Crowds Nightly.

SASWoS
Should Hal the Healer continue to
draw such crowds to his free show, the
grounds, though spacious, will not be
large enough to hold the vast throng.
The attractions are greater aud of
more merit than many shows that
charge Fifty cents and one dollar for
admission. The people of Jackson
know a good thing when they see it,
and they are not slow in recognizing
and proclaiming the fact that this show
Is q good one, and that every member
of the company is an artist in his par
ticular speciality. Hamp, the ex-slave,
is Of African blood, and is the best rep
resentative Of his race, as delineator
of negro character, that has been seen
in Jackson. His songs and dances are
true to life, while his diving dog Teddy,
shows great intelligence.
The Irish comedian is ''rale ould
Irish gintleman" and no mistake. He
can sing you song, tell you a good
Irish story or trip you the step OF a
neat Irish gig in fine style.
Hal, we understand, is having great
SUCCESS with his medicines and in some
cases, one in particular, his medicine
has done all that he claimed it would
do. The writer of this article con-
tracted sciatic rheumatism during the
war of the rebellion, and at times
suffers untold agony. A few days ago
it made Its appearance in a very severe
form, when Hal the Healer sold the
writer bottle of his medicine called
the Wonder" and told him to rub it
on good. It did its work most effectu-
ally, and not pain has been felt up to
this writing, forty hours later.

The Dance at Lemin's.


The social dance on the platform on
the site of Thos. Lemin's saloon last
Saturday night was very we'll patroniz.
ed, and every participant seemed IN
have thoroughly enjoyable time.
With the sale OF tickets, ice cream and
othor refreshments, the affair turned
out quite satisfactory from a financial
point of view. The community is not
slow TO express its sympathy in a prac.
tical way in behalf of any deserving
person suddenly overwhelmed by mis-.
fortune, as Mr.. Lemin was by the late
destructive fire. We hope he will
shortly be fully reestablished In bust.
ness, at his old stand, with even finer
looking business premises than he had
before. Mr. Lemin desires US to express
his sincere thanks to all who assisted
in making the affair success.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC REGULATION.
Important Case, Affecting the Imposition o,
Licenses,

Ltcen6eS,
A case of vast Importance to the
cities and counties throughout the
state is one which the supreme court
will decide July 18th in regard to the
liquor ordinance of Los Angeles coun-
ty, as to whether the county can levy a
license for revenue.
A writ of habeas corpus was issued
yesterday by the supreme court in the
case of Harry Pferrman of Los An.
geles, returnable July 18th. Pferrman
was arrested for violation of the LIQUOR
ordinance OF the county. He declares
that the statutes, page 635, do not per-
NIT of cities and counties leyying IL
censes for revenue. He had complied
with the city license and argues that
the county has no right to issue fur
Their license.
If the supreme court decides in
Pferrman's favor the decision will af-
feet the revenue of every city and
county in the state. -Stockton Record.

NEWS FROM NOME.
A Letter From Ferdinand Mayer to VIM.
Tam That is Of Interest.
CAFE MONS, June 25. IoOI

CAPE NOME, June 25, 1901.
I just happened to think OF the
dear Tam family and thought would
write few lines. AS you will see,
had to stop at Nome City on my way to
Circle City. What a place! Am glad
1 don't have to stop here. There is a
mad rush of people TO Nome, and
although not quite as bad as last year,
it is bad enough to be bad. Within
ESQ or 300 miles of Nome everything is
taken up, and poor man has no
chance whatever. There is a big lot
of people going there to work for wages,
as they pay $500 and Sc 90 per day,
but what do they gain? They can only
work three months, and fare is $50
from Frisco to Nome in the Storage,
and 800 In cabin, and there are so
many people here that one cannot be
sure if work will last for all, even three
months. So If any OF your friends in
tend to go to Nome, tell them to keep
away from there.
Our trip was at the beginning very
rough, that is. from Frisco to Seattle,
but after we left Seattle, we had nice
weather. Two days before we got into
Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, it turned
awfully cold and foggy. In Unalaska
we called for coal and water, as the
steamer ''St Pauln uses about IS tons
OF coal every day. From Unalaska we
started for the Behring Sea, and had a
very slow and cold time of it for three
days on account OF getting into a lot of
floating ice. I wish Willie and Charley
could have seen it. AS far as the eve
could cit was nothing but floating ice;
islands of ice, large and small, with
lots of snow on 1t, One night we met
the steamer Homer, /" aud the captain
OF her told US that they had been try
ing for 20 days to get through the ice
to Nome and they could not make it.,
so we were fortunate in making it in
three days.
