About Scalp Bounties.

In days past there was a calling
known in song and story as trapping.
1t was considered as honorable as any
other vocation and deservedly so, for
the trapper not only sustained, guard
ed and enriched his own household but
also directly and continuously benefited
his fellow-men.
Through the scarcity of 'vermints, ,,
as the old trappers called their prey,
the business of trapping became less
remunerative. Bounties were removed
on account of the infrequency of
depredations by wild beasts and this
made it even more difficult for the
trapper to remain such.
Years have passed-wild beasts un-
molested except by chance-have null
tiplied until it seems that the time has
come when something should be done
to restore the trapper to his just and
honorable place in every locality.
The State tried to rid It's people oil
the coyote pest but failed to safeguard
Its generous bounty and was. of course,

Death of Gertrude Helen Thomas.

Once more the angel of death has
entered the home circle and taken a
little birding from the parent nest.
Little Helen, third daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. w. J. Thomas, crossed the
dark river on the morning of May 8, at
the age of one year and ten months.
Dear little Helen was the pet of the
home, sweet in disposition, winning in
her way, none could help loving her.
She was stricken with that dread
disease, typhoid fever, and being a
very delicate child she quickly faded
away. This blow has fallen very heavy
on the bereaved family as just two
years and twenty-seven days previous,
they buried their second daughter,
little Blanche.
We shall miss her, but we know that
for our darling, no more shall come the
pain or sorrows of this world, but she
will ever rest in the arms of loving
Father who doeth all things well. We
cannot call her back, but when our
turn shall come may we find our
darlings waiting at Heavens gate to
bid us welcome home.
Oh weep, but with rejoicing,
A heart gem We have given,
But, behold its glorious setting,
In the diadem of Heaven.
GRANDMA.

Fatal Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon about four
O'Clock, George Robertson, driver for
Hammer & wager of lone, met with a
fatal accident in front of the chlori-
nation works of the Kennedy mine.
He was unloading freight from his
wagon when the team started and in
attempting to control the wheelers he
slipped and fell, the wheels of the
wagon passing over his legs several
inches above the knees. The right leg
was crushed to a jelly, and the left
badly bruised and broken. DIR. Gall
was called and arrangements made to
take him to lone. where he was placed
in charge of local physicians. They
concluded that an operation was USE
less, and after intense suffering he died
on Wednesday morning.
He was a young man, greatly res
pected in the community where he
lived, and being only % years of age
was in the prime of young manhood.

Worlds Record Beaten.

The Standard Electric Company
sent current of 10000 volts over it's
lines from Blue Lakes to San Jose, on
the! 30th ult., distance of 1874 miles,
beating the worlds record for long
distance transmission of electricity.
This feat which was merely to test the
wires, was successful, and in few days
power will be supplied to that city for
manufacturing purposes.
Shortly after o'clock of that day
the current was turned into the bay
counties curcuit at the big power house
on the Mokelumne river, in Amador
county, just above this town, and a
moment later lights in the stations at
Oakland and other places responded to
the magic current. The current was
sent to Oakland and from there to San
Jose by way of Mission San Jose. AS
soon as rights of way can be procured
and lines constructed the power will
be taken to San Francisco, thus max
ing circuit of more than 235 miles.
The next best record to this in trans
hitting electricity over distance is in
Southern California, where the power
used at Redlands is carried eighty
three miles.
The power of the Standard Electric
Company in the vicinity of San Jose
will he handlsd by the Electric I'm
provement Company. At the latter's
plant near the narrow gauge railroad,
an i'm Mense sub-station has been erect
ed at aeost of s100, 900. 81 In one room
are three immense transformers, where
the pressure is reduced from 60, 900
volts to %, 500 or 1000, as desired. Some
$40, 600 has been expended on storage
batteries, which are capable of giving
out several hundred horse power for
twenty-four hours if for any reason the
current should be shut off. The Elec-
trio Improvement Company also has a
70O-horse power engine, which will also
be held in reserve in case of accident.
The people of San Jose are highly
elated over the turning on of the
power, and it is now believed several
factories will be located here, which,
owing to lack of power, have not come
heretofore. -Mok. Hill Chronicle.

A New Enterprise.

Articles of Incorporation of the
Amador Lumber Company were filed
in the Office of the County Clerk, on
May Is, 1901. The principal place of
business is to be Jackson, and the
Board of Directors is made up of the
following gentlemen: B. F. Taylor,
Thomas A. Chichizola, G. E. Allen,
Julius ChichizOla and W. E. Finn.
The Capital Stock is s25, 900, and the
purposes for which the organization
was effected, are in brief, to engage in
general lumber business in all its
branches. To deal in real estate build
ing, leasing, etc. To manufacture
wood specialties, etc. To construct
and operate all kinds of public and
private mprOvements-Bridges, tele-
phone lines, bitches, power plants,
electric lines, etc. The scope of this
enterprise is such that it will surely
make hit somewhere. The Chichi-
zola Estate Co. and the Allen Estate
are large holders of stock and there
should be no sort of question as to the
success of the undertaking.

Scramble For Seats.

But few of the multitude who will GO
to San Francisco will be able to hear
the Presidents address at the Uni
versity of California. The hall has a
seating capacity for 10000, but as early
as the first of this week applications
for 30, 900 admission tickets had been
received by the committee in charge.
The same excess of demand over sup
ply obtains at the launching of the
Ohio. Mr.. Irving M. Scott cannot &C.

opportunity to see and hear President

MINING NEWS.

The Amador Phoenix Gold Mining
Company, recently organized, and in
corporated, purposes to begin opera
tions on their mine near Clinton, form
erly known as the Toscano Claim, on
Monday, the 9th of May This mine
has something of history, having
been opened originally by Thomas
Blythe, in 1856, at which time excellent
rock was taken out. Since that time
it has had varied history. 1t has
been prospected by different people,
and rock from shafts and tunnels has
been milled, giving satisfactory values.
One lot of average rock was milled at
the mill on the Clinton Consolidated
mine, that cleaned up SO. 90 ton.
Sylvester Spagnof showed the writer
a specimen of ore that was good for
sore eyes, one did not need glass to
see-the gold. .-,..
The Company is composed of Jack
son men of reputation, Judge r. C.
Rust being President of the Company.
Sylvester Spagnoli, Treasurer, and L.
j. Fontenrose, Secretary. James E.
Dye is to be Superintendent.
They have 5-stamp mill on the
ground and expect to put it in shape to
run at once. 1t is designed to operate
by means of a water wheel, to be placed
in the Amador Canal which runs Just
south of the NINE
The LEDGER wishes the enterprise
abundant success, and it is to be hoped
that those who have money to invest
will look into the merits of the Amador
Phoenix.
