shake up.
Arthur Clifton is having the life
shaken out of him with the chills.
And it is not extraordinarily excellent
weather for the shakes either.
A. Ratio of Jackson Gate, allowed a
car in mine to run over his right heel
several weeks ago. He came to lone
on Tuesday to give DR.. Adams chance
to cure it.
The public school of lone opened the
fall and winter term last Monday, with
Professor Fl. L. Waste in charge as
principal. The gentleman is resi-
dent of Chico, and came to lone nearly
a year ago to assume control of the
educational department at the Preston
School. The other teachers are Misses
Lizzie Joses. Anna Bagley and Agnes
Raab. The outlying districts are sup
piled as follows: Jackson valley, Miss
Alice Bagley; Union, Mrs. ]. Touhey :;
Mount Echo, Miss E. Burgin; Mount
Pleasant, Miss Lena Gartlin; Buena
Vista, Miss Louisa Weidorff; Lancha
Plana, Miss Edna Rust; Carbonate,
Miss Lucy Johnston; Julian, Geo. F.
Mack; Camp Opra, Miss Lena Wager.
Miss Laura Mullen goes to Pine
Grove on Sunday or Monday to open
the public school at that place on
Tuesday.
lone is going right ahead with the
academy proposition. The old Presby-
terrain church has been secured for the
Academy. 1t is being renovated and
refitted for its new mission.
Morris Jones and Jim Rush broke
the record last Friday by driving from
Woodfords to lone in a day. The
distance is so miles, and the roads very
rough in some places, but they made
the trip just the same.
Geo. F. Mack ST., has concluded to
take the Julian school for the term,
and on September will assume his
new duties. Julian district is to be
congratulated on securing the services
of such an able and successful in
structor, and they will never have
cause to regret their action.
Jim Blues place on the jackson
road is no longer open for the transac-
ton OF business. In other words, it
has been knocked out. There was a
sociable little party there last Monday
night, which was decidedly warm
affair, and when the smoke of com bat
had cleared away the front windows
had an extremely holy aspect while
the interior presented tho appearance
of having been struck by a renegade
Kansas cyclone. As result Jim con-
cluded that he did not want any more
OF it, and locked the doors until further
date.
The latest acquisition by an outsider
who has confidence in lone and her
bright future is G. E. Fourier, a con-
tractor, carpenter and builder of SUIT
ter Creek. A short time ago the gen.
tleman purchased from G. H. Dunlap
S0x2C0 feet of the west portion of his
block on Mob Hill, paying 500 for it
and will at once erect three cottages
for rental. Lumber for one of the
cottages is on the ground and work
has begun on it.
Colonel A. j. Blodgett returned a
few days ago from Grizzly Flat, Ell
Dorado county, where he was for a
week looking up piece of property
for some Sacramento capitalists. Ac-
cordipg to the colonel's story the ledge
he prOspected is about the richest he
ever encountered during his many
years of prospecting. He has known
OF its existence for the past five years,
but has never had a favorable oppor-
tunity for locating it. With an
abundance of ready capital behind him,
development will begin soon. Some of
the samples brought home and SUBJ
jected to the mortar are exceedingly
rich, and the colonel says he will make
favorable report to the gentlemen
behind him.
| Record
| The foundations are completed and
part of the wood work is up at the new
20-stamp mill at the Keystone mine.
Work has been delayed somewhat by
the machine strike. The old 40-stamp
mill is now running with electrical
power from the Standard Electric Co.
Supt. w. A. Prichard says that the
mill runs great deal steadier, and the
concentrators work better with electri-
cal power than with water.
| CALAvERAS CHRONICLE.
| Charles Gardella of this place, who
underwent an operation in Jackson for
the removal of an abscess, is at home
still suffering from the effects of the
ordeal, and the affected part is very
painful and troublesome.
VIM. Swithenbank, who has for the
past few months been working at the
Gwin mine near Paloma, arrived in
West Point Wednesday, and on Fri
day he returned with his family and
furniture, it being his intention to re-
side at Paloma for the time being.
Our old friend, E. C. Fisher, Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S. messenger, arrived in
Mokelumne Hill Wednesday, and is en-
Toying short vacation with his
family. He was relieved by Fred
Jackson, who returned from the
northern part of the state, where he
spent a short leave of absence, seeking
evidence against the lynchers, mention
of which was made in our last issue.
