Mrs. Meehan's Art Museum.

For the third time Mrs. James
Meehan has successfully exhibited her
interesting and unique :tArt Museum. "
The first occasion was some 26 years ago,
when the instructive collection was
placed on exhibition for the benefit of
the M. E. church, and the second was
about II years ago, the same church
receiving the benefit. The third and
recent exhibition was for the benefit of
the Catholic church and occurred at
the Fair recently given in Love Hall.
Mrs. 'Meehan was in charge of the
aggregation at all times, and the host
Of sightseers will probably not soon
forget her ready wit and two-edged
repartee, which at times cut like a
Damascus blade and invariably con-
vulsed those present with laughter.
On entering the museum, the first
object of interest to which the visitors
attention is called is common bride

An Important Address.

Santa Rosa ess-Democrat: Presi-
dent McKinley's speech at the launch
ing of the battleship Ohio on Saturday
will not soon be forgotten, In one re-
spect the words he uttered upon that
occasion were among the most impor-
tant and far-reaching that have fallen
from his lips.
1T is not question:" he said, ''of
whether we shall acquire the Philip
pines, whether we shall acquire Manila
or Guam. They are ours
1t will not be necessary TO call atten-
ton TO the fact that these are not the
words of an ordinary individual. The
sentence quoted is not the casual ex-
preston of a hastily formulated opinion.
1t is the declaration of principles of a
great political party as expressed by the
leader Of that party, and at present, at
least, the avowed principle of a mighty
nation.
They are oursP' The United States
OF America has, for better or worse, en-
tered fully and unequivocally upon it's
new policy OF exploitation and en-
croachment. The far-famed islands of
the South Pacific are now our property
together with their riches and their
people. We have not made their. a
part of our nation. We have acquired
them. They are ours! '

Mining News.
CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Chronicles: N. W. Mahaffey, special
agent of the Moon Mining Company,
was in Mokelumne Hill Friday and
made us pleasant call. The COM
pany's property is situated on jackson
creek, in Amador county, about seven
miles from lone. 1t is a copper PROMO
sition but the ore carries no mean
quantity of gold. Sinking is now in
progress and the working shaft has
reached depth of about forty feet.
showing fine 2O-foot ledge of excel.
lent ore. The company is naturally
we'll pleased with the outlook. Many
Calaveras people are interested in this
mine and the dictatorship is composed
of men from Valley Springs.
This week the dividend of the Light
ner Mining Company, amounting to
$40, 255.50, was paid at the local Office.
The company now has 107 men on the
payroll and is operating 40 stamps by
electricity. The old original payroll
of 1856, when the mine was operated by
Henry Adams, Sr., and Joseph Easton,
is in the possession of Henry Adams,
Jr. AT one time an arastra was used
to crush the ore, as stamps were I'M
known.
Citizen: The Beatrice mine near our
town is in a fair way to be developed in
a practical manner soon, as an Eastern
company has taken hold of the prop
erty and we are convinced that they
are better promoters than the San
Franciscans so far as investors of CAPT.
tai is concerned. 1t has proved to be
the fact in more instances than one in
this locality, and history often repeats
itself.
Three big teams laden with mining
machinery. passed through here this
week for the POOrman mine at Rail-
road Flat. A large amount of money
is being spent on this property this
spring and work of vast proportions
has been going on. The POorman will
soon be good producer of the precious
stuff.

Funeral of Francis Lima.

The funeral of Francis L. Lima was
held in the M. E. church on Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was largely
attended. Rev. F. A. Morrow offici-
ated. His sermon was as follows: "i''''i
This Is a sad duty l am called upon
to perform to-day; to lay away in the
silent grave sweet young girl, in the
very bloom of youth, just budding into
womanhood. have been informed
that this dear girl was loYed by every
one who knew her. She was Of a loving
disposition and '1f there is anything
that keeps the mind open to angel
visits, and repels the ministry of i'll, it
is human love-" Be loving, and you
will never want for love; be humb BILE
and you will never want for guiding.
This dear young woman who lies be-
fore us in her coffin, was obedient and
devoted to her father and mother.
She honored them and was therefore a
blessing to their home. ~ believe that
the fewer the laws in d home the
better, but there is one law which
should be plainly understood and that
is perfect obedience from the child to
the parent, not only for the peace of
the home, but for the highest good ot
the ehild.'' / am glad this child obey
ed her parents.
If it is necessary for children to obey
their parents how much more necessary
it Is that we should obey our Heavenly
Father. 80 that we could take that
simple view of things, so as to feel that
the one thing which lies before us is to
please God! What gain is it to please
the world, to please the great, nav,
even to please those whom we love,

Our DECEASED young sister, Francis
L. Lima, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John Lima, was born on the It'll day of
October, 1884, and died Sunday, Nav
26, 1901. She was therefore Is years
and months old when God called her
to her eternal home. Her father,
mother, three brothers and two sisters
mourn because she has been taken from
them. They feel that sweetinAuence
has been taken out of their lives, but
think of the reunion by and by.

The Oneida Mine.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. A. B.
Caminetti, the writer hereof enjoyed
an exhilarating spin about town and its
environments. one day this week. Mr..
Caminetti is lover of good horses,
and, judging from his roadsters, a
mighty good judge of horse flesh.
During the outing the Oneida mine was
visited. Probably but small minority
OF the people of Amador county realize
the enormous amount of business being
done over in that little basin or diminu-
tive valley. The deafening thunder of
sixty l2OO-pound stamps, propelled by
an electric motor of $50 horse power,
indicates, as one approaches the plant,
that there is something doing"
About 300 tons of ore, five tons to the
stamp, are crushed in the mill every
day, and the tier after tier of concen-
traitors, propelled by motor of 80
horse power, separates the metal from
the mud with rapidity and exactness
that reflects credit on the ingenuity of
the inventor The mill is one of the
most perfect of its kind in the State.

fortunate owners. Mr.. H. H. Hurlburt

very kindly explained many things of
interest to us, for which favor thew
have our thanks. On reaching the
hoist, after visiting the mill, our ears
were greeted with different noise, a
roar that at first suggested that the lid
OF h had been lifted, but we soon
ascertained that it came from three of

has recently installed for the Oneida
Company. Here we found William

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
When the fourth furnace, which is
now about finished, adds its quote of
roar to the other three, the flame of
fury will hold high carnival at the
Oneida mine. Notwithstanding the
thousands of dollars already expended,
Superintendent Derby is constantly
making improvements, among which
we noticed large fre-proof steel vault,
enclosed by concrete wall two feet
in thickness, which is being construct
ed Immediately in the rear of his office.
The magnitude of this great mine
must be seen to be appreciated.
