Then the baskets were opened, cloths

Won The Prize.

1t has been said of lone young men
that when they started out to accom-
plish purpose and started right, they
always succeeded. There are numer-
GUS instances to this writer's knowledge
when worthy young Ionians have
stepped to the fore through sheer force
of character and ability.
The latest acquisition to this galaxy
is Harry j. Parkison, who was born in
this valley % years ago. He has been
rustling for himself since he was Is,
and in that time has managed to at
tend high school and obtain fairly
good education-enough for young
man possessed of vim, energy and
perseverance, and not too much to
make him over confident regarding his
ability.
Last January the young man became
connected with the Fidelity life insur-
ance company. The Fidelity made it
an object for agents to get in and dig.
Harry soon discovered that he had
struck his gait, to use track vulgar
ism, and the result of his four months
work is that he won the prize over rs
competitors in California, many of them
old timers at the business who would
talk a man into insuring if he was deaf,
dumb and blind.
Next Septemb Der the young man will
go to the head Office at Philadelphia,
and from there will visit all the great
cities of this country, and all at the
expense of the company from the time
he leaves until he returns, provided the
head men of the Fidelity do not want
him to work in some of the larger
cities.
Young men of lone, that is what
poor boy has done for himself in ten
years. He has the confidence of every
citizen of this section. Why? Because
he started in to make a solid and sub
stantial man of himself, and he is sue
ceeding. You can do the same thing
If you will get down to business and
use the brain that God has given you.-
lone Echo.
The LEDGER also desires to congrat-
ulate Mr.. Parkison and commend his
course. May other young men of our
county be encouraged by his success.

President Mckinley.

Riverside Press: The character OF
the man, William Mckinley, has been
strikingly brought out by the events
of the last few days. The President
has been merged in the husband, ten
derby caring for an invalid wife. Dur
ing all the years Of their married life,
Mrs. Mckinley has been in delicate
health, and all who have seen her in
California have wondered that one so
frail would undertake such trip. But
the President would not come without
her. He has carefully watched over
her ever since the wedding day, and
would not think of leaving her for a
trip across the continent. And now he
is willing to abandon any part of the
trip that Mrs. McKinley's condition
will prevent her taking. Such knightly
devotion touches the heart of every
true American citizen, and President
Mckinley will leave California honored
more for his loving care of his wife
than for all the eloquent speeches he
will make.

Death of John Kenmore.

After an illness of long standing,
John Kenmore, one of the Oldest and
most efficient hoist engineers in this
mining section, died in this city June 5,
1901, aged 30 years and months. De-
ceased was we'll known among mining
men, having run the hoist at the Old
Eureka mine at Suffer Creek previous
to engaging with the Zeile Mining Co.,
for which company he served as hoist
engineer for % years, and never had
but one accident and that minor one
the effects OF which were overcome in
two hours. And this occurred after an
illness which had to some extent in
jured his nervous system. At the Old
Eureka mine he had no accident.
Without doubt he ranked as one of the
BEST if not the best, hoist engineers
along the mother lode. He had host
of friends who will miss his genial ways
and goodfeliowship. His wife died
nearly two years ago, leaving him with
out relatives, except those by marriage,
in this county. He was born in Glas-
gov, Scotland, in 194I. He left small
estate which he disposed of by will a
short time before his death. The
funeral was held in Suffer Creek this
afternoon at 2 p. M, under the auspices
of Suffer Creek Lodge No. 81, |. o. o. F.

Railroad Extension.

The Southern Pacific Company is
seriously contemplating the extension
of It's narrow gauge from Valley Springs
to the Gwin mine. a distance of six
miles. According to a report survey
stakes are already put down along the
proposed extension. President Hayes
and party are expected in Lodi the
first week in June to make trip over
the survey. The Gwin mine has been
endeavoring to secure the extension of
the narrow gauge for long time and
it is said that the mines have offered a
bonus for the additional track. The
Gwin mine handles great amount of
freight and the improved railroad
facilities would greatly benefit them.
1t may be that the road will be extend

Charged With Stealing Ore,

John and Phillip Andrews of ANA
dor City are in jail here awaiting pre-
liminary trial for alleged ore stealing
from the Keystone mine. They were
arrested at Carbondale by Constable
Kelley of lone, while enroute to San
Francisco. Phillips wife carried a
small satchel at time of the arrest
which contained rich specimens esti-
mated to be worth $1,000.
The Keystone authorities have made
no complaint as yet, as the character of
the ore along the mother lode makes it
next to impossible to identify the pro-
duct of one mine from another. The
suspects have employed A. Caminetti
to defend them.
