DEPARTMENT OF MINES.

Congressman S. D. Woods, of this
district, has introduced bill to
establish the department of mines
and mining. The mining interests
of this country have become so vast
as to demand special department
of the government for their proper
supervision. The bill, which has
been referred to the committee on
mines and mining, provides that a
cabinet officer, to be known as the
secretary of mines and mining, shall
be at the head of the department,
which officer shall be appointed by
the president, the same as other
cabinet officers, and shall receive a
salary of $4,000 per year; an assist
ant secretary is provided for at a
salary of $4,000, a chief clerk at
$500 and such other clerks as may
be authorized by law. The geologi-
cal survey Office is to be transferred
to this proposed department, and
the business of gathering, compiling
and publishing information relating
to the mining industry is to be per-
formed by this department. The
jurisdiction, supervision and control
of mines and mining lands now ex-
ercised by the Interior Department
are to be transferred to department
of mines and mining. An effort was
made years ago to establish a de-
partment devoted specially to the
mining interests. At that time ii
was deemed inadvisable to do so.
Since then, however, the demand
has become so general and strong
that it is more than probable that il
will be acceded to.

FROM EXCHANGES.
From the Echo, I


The last big piece OF machinery for
the electric plant to be transported
this winter left the lone depot Tuesday
morning. 1t was generator of huge
dimensions.
A meeting of the trustees of the
Academy was held Wednesday evening,
having been called to consider the
resignation of Alexander Gordenker as
principal. The gentleman's resigna-
tion was imperative, as he had closed
contract with Russian fur house
and is soon TO leave for Vladivostok.
AS he speaks the Russian language
fluently his new line of business will nc
doubt prove congenial for him.
After an illness of several months
with cancer of the liver, spleen, stomach
and intestines. as an autopsy by DR.. l..
A. Frary disclosed, William Edward
Mattice of Lodi, who came to lone a
few weeks ago to seek relief, died Sun.
day morning at the home of w. E.
Phillips, in this city. The funeral was
held in the M. E. church, Rev. W. C.
Howard officiating, with interment in
the lone cemetery. A delegation from
Chispa parlor, N. D. G. W., escorted
the remains, the widow being Native
Daughter. Deceased was born at Vol.
cano, November Z, 1857, and was well
known in the county, though he had
not lived here for many years.

GET REGISTERED:

All voters are required to re-
register to entitle them to vote at
the next general election. Under
the present law, reregistration is
required for every general election.
Registration will commence after
the first of next month. Quite a
number of citizens have lost their
votes in this county of late years
owing to failure to register in time.
We hope this coming year this mat
ter will be attended to in ample time
by all republicans. The various
clubs in the county should reorganize
as soon as possible. 1t is in the di-
rection of looking after registration
that the clubs can render valuable
service to the party. We want to
poll every vote we are entitled to at
the next election, and this result
can be secured by the various clubs
paying special ttention, not only to
seeing that republicans are register
ed, but also that they are registered
in their proper precincts.

ECONOMY IN MINING.

The San Francisco Chronicle of
the 23d contains the following in
regard to the two great mines of
Amador county, the Kennedy and
Oneida:
On the mother lode a revolution
in the economics of mining has taken
place since the early seventies.
Then the cost of mining and milling
amounted to 50 per ton, and it was
considered scarcely worth while
handling ore containing less than
$12 per ton. In those years the
vein in the Oneida mine in Amador
county was being explored at a big
loss, because the ore was too low
grade to pay expenses. At that
time the mine workings were above
the 1000-foot level. Now the opera
tions are conducted between the
1900 and 1000 foot levels. The re-
port for the year ending August
31st shows that the total operating
expenses affecting the mining and
milling of 69,5114 tons of ore ex-
tracted during the year averaged
$2.886 per ton. The ore yielded
81. O9O per ton, leaving $1.204 per
ton profit. An amount equal to
S0.745 was expended on construc-
ton account, which raised the total
cost of operating the mine average
to So. 631 of every ton of ore extract
ed. In this mine crude petroleum
was recently introduced as. substi-
tute for wood as fuel for the opera
tion of the hosting works, and a
saving of So per cent secured through
it. Besides, says the superintend-
ent in his report, it is more cleanly
and easy to handle. Employing this
fuel, the total operating expenses in
August were reduced So SOB per ton,
and the superintendent is confident
that hereafter these expenses can
be lowered to an, average of 81 26
per ton.
In the Kennedy mine, adjoining
the Oneida on the same lode, ver-
tical shaft 2600 feet deep has been
sunk and the same equipped with a
rapid hoist for the purpose of re-
ducing the cost of operation. In
this mine, one of the largest gold
bearing bodies in the State is being
worked On the 2250-foot level it is
ninety feet in width-all good mill
ing ore. Working the mine through
two incline shafts following the dip
of the lode has cost an average of
S. per ton for mining and milling.
These shafts have been very expen-
sive to keep in working order. The
new vertical shaft is in the country
rock and may never need repairs.
1t is confidently expected that the
total cost of gold winning will be
brought to the same figure as in the
Oneida 50. 25 per ton. In this mine
there is now in sight 125, 900 tons of
workable ore, If the ore body on
the 2250-foot level is of equal width
on the 26OO-foot level, the volume of
ore in sight will be tremendously
increased.

be unable to retain a morsel of food.
Finally l was confined to my bed.

FOR A RAILROAD.

The imports into Placerville by
the railroad, for the year 1901, are
given at 1000 tons, and the exports
at 1850 tons, making a total of nearly
$1,000 tons. This is an average of
over 30 tons per day. They are now
talking of extendin" he line to the
timber belt beyond Placerville.
Thirty tons per day is not large
business for railroad, it is true,
but it must be remembered that this
is freight handled at Placerville
alone, and does not include the bust
ness at any other depot. A rail-
road from lone to Jackson, would
command, in very short time,
many times that amount of traffic.
1t is said that we have nothing to
ship out. That is a statement we
cannot accept. Because we are ex-
porting comparatively little now, is
no foundation for the assertion that
we would have no export business
for railroad. The truth is, we do
not know what resources a railroad
would develop. We have fruit
growing country equal TO the region
around Placerville; we have mex
haustible deposits of marble of ex-
cellent quality, all dormant because
of the expense of getting the pro-
duct to market. We do not indorse
the opinion that a good wagon road
will dispense with the necessity of a
railroad. Wagon roads are all well
in their place, but they can never
stimulate business like railroad.
There is nothing in the freighting
business at 49, and 81 per ton the
year round. A railroad could haul
freight between lone and Jackson at
So per ton and make money. That
would be a high rate for II miles of
hauling-17 cents per ton per mile.
Still we believe the people of ANA
dor county would not object to pay
ing that rate for the advantages of
railroad communication with the
mineral belt. 1t would be an i'm
mense improvement upon the exist
ing order of things. With ample
power right at our doors in the
Standard Electric Company's works,
it certainly should be feasible bust
ness proposition to organize an cleo
trio railroad to bridge the distance
between Jackson and the present
terminus at lone.

That McKinnon Deposit.

1t seems that there must be some
mistake about the deposit in the
Hibernia savings bank of San Fran
cisco in favor ofM C. McKinnon, and
which was advertised last week as a
deposit that had been left untouched
for 10 years. S. N. Spagnoli, who
has attended to his business for several
years; says that within the past month
he forwarded the pass book of Nc
Kinnon to the bank for posting the
semi-annual interest, at the same time
sending SIS to be added to the deposit.
McKinnon is in his old haunts in the
mountains, and was no doubt surprised
to find his name among the list of un-
claimed accounts.

The report of the Amador grand
jury as it appears in the Dispatch
reminds us of a certain Down
East" school superintendent. In
speaking of one of the teachers this
censor of education remarked: "Miss
Smith done well in this school. "
The Dispatch makes the foreman of
the grand jury say: 1.-The first thing
we done, etc. "-Calaveras Prospect.
We acknowledge the criticism.
Neither the Dispatch nor the Led
ger, however, is responsible for the
wording of the grand jury report.
An editor is expected to correct any
grammatical errors in ordinary COM
munications, but he is hardly war
ranted in altering the wording of an
official document. This is supposed
to be published verbatim. The in
accuracies-for there are several
of the late report were noticed and
commented upon before the docu-
ment appeared in print, and the re-
mark was made that such reports
should be looked over with the view
of correcting any little shortcomings
in the matter of grammatical ex-
pressions, before being finally sub
mitted to the court. We are pleased
that our cotemporary has called at
tention to this point, as the local
papers did not care to mention the
subject. 1t will no doubt lead to a
literary supervision of such official
communications iu future.
