Proposed New Road.

The pros and cons on the proposed
new road from Stony creek to con-
meet with Buena Vista road, mustered
in Jackson Monday, when the matter
was up for action before the board
OF supervisors. The proposed road
will add four or five miles of roadway
to be taken care of at public expense.
The only benefit, as we are reliably in
formed, will be the saving of about
two miles of travel to two or three
cattle men. Can Amador stand the
policy of trying to provide near out
let for every land owner in the county
The truth is, we have too many miles
of road already dependent upon the
county treasury. 1t is utterly i'm
practicable to keep them all in passable
shape. In sparsely settled districts of
the eastern section of the county the
creation of new road occasionally is
to be expected. But in the old settled
districts between the mineral belt and
the valleys, the mileage of public road
way ought to have pretty we'll reached
its limit ere this. This new road along
Stony creek will involve building
between four and five miles of fencing,
to say nothing of the cost of the land.

Death of an old Resident.

Guiseppi Ratio, an old resident of
Jackson, died Tuesday evening, after a
lingering illness. For many years he
worked in the mines, but for the past
ten years, owing to i'll health, he had
been unable to follow that employment.
Some years ago he was the victim of
an accident in one of the mines. He
leaves three children, two boys and a
girl, the youngest-a boy-being nine
years OF age. He also has two step
sons at Mokelumne Hill. He also has
two brothers, one named Ben, being a
twin brother. He leaves property
valued at about $1,000. The funeral
took place on Thursday, the remains
being inferred in the Catholic GENE
terry, and the last rites being in &C
cordance with the formula of that
church.

Mining Notes.

BUENA VISTA CoPPER.-L. p.
Haney, the energetic secretary of this
company, has been working in Gala
veras county lately, dispOsing of stock
in this property. He has sold Il large
block of stock. We understand that a
15-horse power engine has been pur-
chased, and active operations are to
commence about the middle of this
month. Clearing out the shaft will be
the first work in order The mine is
located near Buena Vista, in Jackson
valley. The development of a paying
mine at this point would give great
impetus to that section.
IRON ORE.-We were shown this
week by j. H. Langhorst, a piece of
iron ore discovered on the Boone ranch
near Stony creek, about five miles
southwest of Jackson. 1t is very
heavy, and undoubtedly carries large
percentage of mineral. 1t is of black
color, and similar in character with
other iron caps found on the surface in
that neighborhood. We understand
that iron caps of this nature often con-
ceal valuable copper deposits. AL
though some of the surface rock from
these groupings have been assayed,
and found to contain only traces OF
copper. still this is said by experts to
be- no cartain test Of tho UalI1a Of tho
underlying deposits. Mr.. Langhorst
also had piece of crome iron ore from
deposit in the neighborhood OF
Lancha Plana. Assays made years
ago proved it to be of low grade; too
low to pay for working. 1t is freely
streaked with greenish stains, indicat-
ing the presence of copper This ore
was also taken from near the surface.

Coroner's Inquest.

Coroner Gritton held an inquest on
October 80 at Amador City. on the
body of John Casseretia, a native of
Italy, aged "A years, who was found
dead the day before in his cabin near
! the Bunker Hill mine. The inquisi-
tion was held with the following named
jurors: A. M. Allspaugh, J. B. Bastian,
W. c. Carter, James Nevills, Florence
Shealor, u. w. Sevey, aud }. l. Gregg.
The only witnesses examined were
Harry B. Taylor and E. Mills. 1t ap-
pears that the deceased lived in bin
alone. Latterly he had been afflicted
with rheumatism, but otherwise
seemed to be in fair health, except that
he was feeble from the infrmities Incl
dent to old age. Harry Taylor was in
the habit of delivering milk at the
cabin every day, the deceased almost
invariably presenting a can for that
purpose. On the 18th he repaired to
the cabin as usual, but the looked-for
can was not forthcoming. The milk
boy tried to get in at the door, but
found it locked. Fearing that some
thing was wrong, he broke the window,
and saw the body of deceased lying
crosswise upon the bed. He did not
enter, but called Mr.. Mills, who enter
ed through the window, and found
that life was extinct, although the
upper part of the body was still warm,
showing that but two or three hours
had elapsed since he breathed his last.
There were no marks of violence about
the body, and nothing to indicate that
the aged man had. come to his end
from other than natural causes. The
jury promptly brought in verdict in
accordance with the above facts. He
left no property to speak of, and had
no relatives so far as the testimony
shows. The remains were inferred by
undertaken Roberts of Suffer Creek,
in the cemetery near Amador City.

Few promises carefully made and
we'll kept builds more substantional
character than many promises made
and many broken.
The kingdom of God is within you;
when this truth is realized, combined
with true righteousness, seeming i'm
possibilities melt away.
Do you give your wife and children
the same kind words and pleasant smile
that you do strangers? Ifyou do not,
none know better than you the false
ness of the words and smiles you offer
outside your home.
Do you think, if the family circle was
broken by death, or yourself brought
to sickness or disease, you would want
to go to the club house for comfort
rather than the so often neglected home,
where the spirit of true love dwells?
