PEERLESS MINE.

REEhLES0
1t is 2 miles southwest of jackson
and about miles south of the Kennedy
Mine An inclined shaft has been
sunk at or near the contact of black
clay states of the Mariposa beds, which
occur on the foot-wall and diabase
tuff on the hanging-wall. At the sur
face was discovered small vein of
quartz, which prospected we'll in gold.
X
HARDWOOD MINE.
A new property adjoining the Peer
less on the south. 1t is in the pro-
gressive stage.
zEILA MINE.
1t is in the southern limits of the
town OF jackson. Since the last re-
port, the shaft has been sunk from
1850 feet, at which depth it had re-
manned for some years, to 1906 feet,
the lowest level being opened at 1850
feet. The mine was first worked about
forty years ago, and continuously for
the last twenty-one years. The prop
erty has 40-stamp mill, which was
worked steadily for fifteen years, when
the mortars of old style were replaced
by modern heavy mortars, provided
with liners, etc. The leila ore-shoot
occurs as broad zone of amphibolite
schist and quartz, 80 to 40 feet wide.
The ground is heavy and expensive to
hold. Never rich mine, it has al
ways, however, paid small profit.
Filling is necessary in working this
mine, and is obtained from the vein
and also from chamb ers cut in the
hanging-wall. The chlorination works
at Nthis mine have been entirely re-
placed once, and the hearths renewed
several times; a hearth usually lasts
about five years. The manager states
that the average expense of mining and
milling at the leila is about SO per ton.

MINING bulletin OF ". h. STORMS
MOTHER LODE REGION OF CALI
FORNlA.
Particular Attention Has Been Given to
the Gold Mines Of Amador
County.

The LEDGER acknowledges with
thanks the receipt of Bulletin No. Is,
by W. 81. Storms, E. M, entitled
1.-THE Mother Lode Region of Cali
fornia." The Bulletin was published
under the direction of Henry 7. Gage,
Governor of the State of California.
1t is creditable production and deals
learnedly with the mining region
designated. From it we take few ex-
tracts relative to this vicinity as
follows:
I'm this county are number of the
deepest mines in the State, as we'll as
some of the most valuable. Since the
early days OF mining in this county, it
has been the common belief that the
essential feature of a paying mine in
Amador was contact of greensboro
and black slate. The development of
the last few years has proven that this
is not absolutely necessary, for some of
the best ore-shoots found in this county
are in amphibolite' schist, and not
associated with any contact. Another
erroneous impression has been that all
ore-shoots must necessarily be found in
connection with the black clay states
of the Mariposa beds. To such an ex-
tent has this belief obtained, that it
was considered almost useless to look
elsewhere for paying mines.
Between the southern limits of the
town of Jackson and the Mokelumne
River on the Central Gold Belt, there
are at present no mines which are pay
ing, although active operations are in
progress on several properties included
in that section and profitable mines
may be developed. The first mine,
coming from the Mokelumne River
northward, which may be included in
the paying class, is the Zeile Mine.

.w1rH rHE WREsrLE ERs.

Leo Parde1lo the wrestler, formerly Ernest Roeber's partner, undertook a task at the Newark Casino, Newark, on Saturday night which he was un- able to complete. He agreed to throw Dennis Gallagher of Buffalo in ten minutes or forfeit $10O. A purse for the winner was also an incentive. Gal lagher acted as if he needed the money for he kept Pardello on the alert to keep from being thrown himself When things got real interesting Pardello tried all the tricks at his command. and although Gallagher was the under man nearly all the time he displayed good knowledge of defence that put Pardello all at sea. The Buffalorian was declared the winner

FIGHTERS GO TO JA1r.

New Orleans. Feb 1S.-Judge Miller. district judge of the Calcasieu district of southwest Louisiana, delivered de- cision Saturday which will end prize fighting in that section of the state. Two pugilists William Wallace and Jack Dempsey, gave q boxing match as it was called. before an athletic club at Lake Charles. The evidence showed that one of the men was groggy when he came uD for tie last round and that a single blow from his antagonist was sufficient to knock him senseless. Judge Miller decided that it was q prize fight, not boxing exhibition. He fined the men S25 each and costs and sentenced them to fifteen days im- priaonment at hard work in the Cal casieu parish jail.

Both of these ring experts have picked up many good dollars i'll the past and. belieyin" that they are still Tractivc. they evidently feel that the public will flock to see them tap each other in friendly bout. There was a time when the bitterest feeling existed between James and Charles. Shortly before Corhett's fight with Sullivan in New Orleans. James had a serious TOW with Charles in the lobby of q Broadway theater. which was the direct cause Of their meeting two years afterward at Jacksonville. Hnrin" that encounter on Florida soil Mitchell. bv the IlSn of inSulting enithets. g0aded Corhett to q state of frenzy. so much so that James came near losing the firht on a foul.

ODD WORK EUR WOMEN.
New Modes of Earning LiTelils DC q Devised by Victims of .Genteel
 PCvarty.'

Genteel poverty is one of the trag- edies of modern society. Yet out of the ell comes good, and from abso- lute necessity clever women devise new modes of earning a livelihood. Most of those who find themselves in reduced circumstances take up ordi- nary callings, but a flew plunge, out of the beaten path and make some idle accomplishments the basis of a paying vocation. One young woman uptown who in the past learned to make lace as fad now puts it to practical use by repairing old and priceless laces. She carries what may be called kit of tools, including q lacemaker's pill low. full set of thread and various kinds of needles, and restores an in- jured collar or an ancient fchu in the presence of the owner. The worl: is exceedingly difficult and the reward correspondingly high.
 Several women have taken up index ing. Their patrons are people who keep scrapbooks, and who are too busy, or. as is more often the case, too negligent. to index for themselves. The work is slow and laborious. IL demands wide literary knowledge and often a knowledge of French and German. The pay is moderate, being usually three dollars day.
 Artistic and fancy boolsbinding is praetced by eight or ten women in New York city. This is skilled trade of the highest class, demanding both technical skill and artistic ability. Two of the binders have done such good work as to make them moderate ly famous.
 A Nassar girl with a pcrrhant for chemistry found herself thrown upon her. own resources three years ago, and adopted for her daily work the giving of instruction to members of her sex upon the subject of cold cream. To the uninitiated this seems a very simple matter. but in truth it is very complex. Ii involves a knowl- edge of the various, fats and oils, in cludin@ sperrnaceti. cocoa butter. wax, japan wax. almond cream, lanoline, and such medical ingredients as ben zoin, camphCr, myrrh, carEClic acid, sulphur, arsenic, zine and white lead.
 Wcmen who contemplate a foreign tour or who are to receive distin- guished foreigners are often at a loss respecting the etiquette of European countries. They can get out of their trouble by taking course of lessons from teachers who have lived abroad in days Of wealth. At least ten bright young women have taken up derma- tology with special reference to the hair and scalp. They visit their pa tients the same as physicians and earn q handsome living. At least two in this city clear more than $5,0Oo year
 Restoring old photographs gives profitable employment to number of women who have become experts in the use of the camera. It does not pay very well in general, but now and then, when there is strong family love involved, it gives very handsome re- turns. One successful woman inlays books.--N. |. Journal.
