A Bold Robbery.

Last Saturday between 1890 and $50
in the afternoon--while the occupants
were away from home-the residence of
w. d. Dufrene was broken into and rob-
bed of ten dollars in cash. The robbers
took advantage of the absence of the
family, and gained an entrance by cut
ting hole in the screen door on the
back porch, which enabled them to
get at the kitchen door, in which they
bored four holes, and then Unattached
it. After gaining an entrance they got
into room which is occupied by Mr..
Dufrene as an Office. In this room
they found small box, in which is
kept papers of value, such as notes
which are left in Mr.. Dufrene's hands
for collection. There were a great
many papers, but only ten dollars in
cash in this box. They left the papers
but took the cash. The box belonged
to the Amador County Bank and was
only taken to the house temporarily
There were three gold watches in the
house and twenty-five dollars in oney
that was laying on the table, which
the burglars overlooked. Mr.. Du-
irene does not suspicion any one in
particular, but thinks it must have
been some one to whom he has paid
money in the past, as the indications
are that the thieves knew just where
he kept his money.

port bad season at that place; too
much rain and ice, and short season
for miners to make a success of digging
for gold.
Laura and Milt Votaw have return

been to purchase furniture for their
new home, which is nearly completed.

A Heavy Special Tax.

In Enterprise school district there
has been levied a special school tax of
20 cents on each one hundred dollars of
assessable property. This is the
maximum limit of special school tax,
although it is not near enough to raise
the amount of money that the trustees
required. The trustees called special
election to vote on the proposition of
raising 5000 for school improvement.
The tax was voted without opposition.
The next thing was to ascertain how
the required amount. And right here
they ran against snag. 1t was found
that the assessment roll of that school
district footed up between S14, 900 and
SIS, 900. Reckoning on IS per cent of
this amount, as the law requires, it
was found that to raise $500 a special
tax OF 81. 70 on the 800 would be re-
quired. But the law has wisely inter-
posed its veto to the levy of such a
burdensome tax in one year, by placing
the limit at 70 cents. This certainly
ought to be steep enough to meet the
views of the most ardent school re-
former; at any rate, we venture to say
it is the utmost drain upon the pockets
of the residents of Enterprise that the
law allows. This levy will have to be
repeated next year, and still leave a
shortage that will require tax rate of
80 cents for the following year to wipe
out. Enterprise district has about 30
census children within it's limits. The
district enjoys the distinction of
distancing all competitors in the mat
ter of special taxes.

A Daylight Robber.

Last Wednesday the residence of Mr..
Frank Podesta was broken into by a
man who gave his name as Bert Feeny,
and who is about 20 years of age.
Mrs. Podesta was entertaining Mrs.
Lena Burgin and Miss Title Botto at
the time. They were in the summer
kitchen. and her visitors were about
ready to take their departure, when
Mrs. Podesta rememb ered that she
had forgotten to show her winter hat
to them. She asked them to come into
another room to look at it. Mrs.
Burgin lay her purse, containing near
thirty five dollars, part of which was
hers and part belonging to Miss Botto,
on the table. AS they passed out they
saw man come in at the side gate
that led to Mr.. Charles joys residence,
which adjoins the Podesta house. The
ladies asked Mrs. Podesta if she was
not going to the door and see what he
wanted, but she said ''he is only beg
gar and will go away if 1 don't CO."
So she proceeded to play the piano.
The ladies had opened the front door
to go home, when they saw him in the
kitchen, and then they remembered
that Mrs. Burgin had left her purse on
the table. She Immediately rushed to
the kitchen door, calling on him to
drop the purse. She rushed out and
called to Pete Giulani to come
quick" He at once came through
Mr.. joys yard, but the thief had
locked the door and he could not get
in. They demanded of him to open
the door and to drop the purse, and
Mrs. Podesta called to go for Sheriff
Gregory, which had the effect of max
ing him lay the purse on the table and
open the door. Mrs. Burgin, who ex-
hibited more bravery than is generally
conceded to ladies, passed out the front
gate and the thief followed. Mr..
Giulani held the man until they found
whether all the money was accounted
for, when he turned him loose. Sheriff
Gregory arrested him little later, and
he gave his name as Bert Feeny and
claimed that he had been working on
the ditch. He had with him a COM
panion, whom Mr.. Gregory arrested,
and on whom was an unopened bottle
of whiskey that proved to have been
stolen from David Badaracco's place.

Mining Notes.

SOUTH SPRING HILL.-Little has
been heard of this mine lately, notwith-
standing the fact that it is one of the
most promising mines in the county to-
day. The mine has reached a depth
OF 100 feet, and the developments
justify the opinion that if properly
equipped it would be one of the most
productive and best paying mines in
Amador county. The property is
handicapped by having only one shaft,
and that shaft is situated at the north
end of the claim, whereas the develop
ments of pay ore are mainly from the
south. Only ten stamps of the mill are
kept running. The ore bodies are
large, in places from 20 to 80 feet wide,
and if new and convenient shaft we're
sunk, the property would undoubtedly
give employment for 40 stamps. There
are three claims belonging to the com
pany-the South Spring Hill, Tails
man, and Median
DEL MONTE MINEs.-The monthly
report shows fifty feet of drift run on
the 2OO-foot level during September,
bringing this drift total distance of
200 feet east of the shaft. The ledge
appears through this entire distance of
good width in the bottom of the tunnel,
but during the last forty feet the
quartz has been crowded partially out
toward the top of the drift, by
porphyry dykes. The surface indica-
tions show that the ledge widens out
again above this level, while the work.
ings in the lowest level, 20 feet below,
show the ledge of good width and
character at that depth. These evil
dences demonstrate that the tunnel
level upon which the present drift is
being run is for some distance located
upon partial break in the continuity
of the ledge matter, which resumes it's
width and character above and below.
The rock still encountered prospects
high, and shows good values by assay
tests ranging from Sc to $12O. We are
thus, after drifting for over 1000 feet,
upon pay ore most of the way, still in
pay rock. The proper development of
the mine can best be accomplished by
the construction of the 100O-foot cross
cut tunnel. which has long been con-
templated. The superintendent was
therefore authorized to take the nee
essary steps to commence prosecuting
from the new tunnel site on the
Esperanza creek during the present
month,

Another Old Timer Departed.

Harrison U. Parberry, well-known
in and around Volcano, died at Bear
river camp on Saturday last. His end
came suddenly. He had been ailing
for some time, suffering from heart
trouble, but he was able to keep at his
post until within a short time of his
death. He was employed by the
Standard Electric Company to take
charge of the force of men engaged in
charcoal burning. The remains were
brought down to Volcano by stage on
Tuesday, and were inferred in the
cemetery of that town. Deceased was
one of the pioneer settlers of Volcano.
He arrived in that camp in 1849, so we
are informed, and has lived in that sec
ton ever since, with the exception of
brief periods of absence. He was a
genial whole-souled fellow, and his
death will be deeply regretted by his
large circle of friends.
