PINE GROVE.

PINE GRovE.-One day last week
your correspondent took a flying trip
to the old mining camps of Ranchelia.
While there l visited the gravel claim
OF Evans and Fitzgerald, which is
under bond to a San Francisco Com
pany. The company are preparing to
work the mine on large scale There
are 10 men at work now, and they in
tend to put on more as soon as they get
the mine in shape. The company have
built two-story boarding house with
all the up-to-date improvements, and
are building bunk house out of the
old stone building that was once
hotel in the early days of Rancheris,
and understand they will commence
work on their mill in few days. They
are to put in roller mill to crush the
| cement gravel
Ben Ross Of Volcano. j. reported
very sick at this writing. He was
taken with paralytic stroke.
| am informed that the men working
for the Standard Electric Company at
| Slaughter House camp, struck for
better hash last Tuesday.
Last Friday was the hottest day of
the season so far. 102 in the shade.
j. b. Ollie and Geo. Stevenson of
Camp Douglas, have gone to Mill
creek to work on their placer claim
They report good prospects.
John Klamaun and Frank Berg of
Pioneer. have about 30 tons of quartz
out, ready to mill. g 1t looks very
promising.
The smoke is 30 thick hele you can
hardly see Wub5ter''s sign across the
street.

last Monday, caused by the Blue Lakes

Self Shooter For Placer Claim.

L. Kuchenbecker is operating the,
Strickland gravel mine, situated in
Vick's gulch on Rancheria creek,
about seven miles east of Suffer Creek.
He is operating on the old tsilings and
some new ground, having an embank-
ment 80 feet high, in which there are
immense boulders mixed with the
gravel. With Is inches of free water
at his command, he has constructed a
machine for working the claim, which
is novelty in its line, and does effect
i've work He callsit the "self shoot
er. 1t consists of self-actiug gate
for turning on and shutting off the
water. The reservoir is filled every
two hours. When the water rises to q
certain point the gate opens automati-
cally, and the deluge is directed upon
the auriferous bank. 1t takes only one
and half minutes to empty the reser-
voir. The effect of such a body OF
water turned loose upon a bank every
two hours may be imagined. In winter
the process of filling and emptyipg is
repeated every half hour. Great
bOulders are tossed about like play
things. and the wash of debris is
enormous. The inventor claims that
the invention does not fall under the
ban of the law against hydraulic min.
ing, Mr. Kuchenbecker says he is
fully satisfied with the yield of the
claim under this process. He SAYS it is
no trick to get $50 per day. The OK.
pense is trihing. He attends to the
operations alone. Where free water
is available this Invention is we'll worth

CHANGES IN THE CODE.

The recommendations made by the
Commission for the Revision and Re-
form of the Law which were adopted
by the last Legislature became opera
tive July LIST.
There are over 800 of these amend
ments, but they relate principally to
Court practice. A few. however, affect
the body polite and are of Importance.
The present system of collecting
money through collection agencies will
be abolished. At present bills are as
signed to the collection agencies by
firms and individuals and suit is
brought in the name Of the collector
or the agency represented by him.
Under the new order of things col
lectors will be debarred from suing in
their name on assigned claims.
Heretofore the practice of profess
sional men in assigning claims to col
lectors while not general, has not been
uncommon.
The Code Commission will also do
away with what is known as the pro-
fessional juror, as the revised section
of the Code requires that juror to be
eligible, must not have served within
one year on regular panel before his
name is offered as talesman.
After July 1st instructions TO iuries
will be handed to them instead of being
read.
Married women may sue or be sued
alone, without being joined by their
husbands.
A letter press copy will equal in the
eyes of the law the original copy.
The words SO help you God" will
be eliminated from the oath as now adj
ministered in the Courts.

AMADoR's ASSESSMENT ROLL.

The assessment roll Of Amador
county for the year 1901, was turned
over by Assessor Marchant to the
board of supervisors, sitting as board
of equalization, last Monday. By the
courtesy of the county assessor, we are
enabled TO give the following figures
touching the assessment values. The
total value of all property, as shown
by the roll as it left the hands of the
assessor, is 81, 555, S44. To this must
be added the value Of railroad prop
erty, the assessment of which is made
by the state board OF equalization
Last year the assessment was $S4, 900,
which added to the above figures,
gives grand total of "a, 639, 344. This
shows gain over last year Of $3.50, 200
"a much more substantial increase
than was anticipated. OF course the
figures are subject to change by the
county board of equalization, which
will meet next Monday. 1t is hardly
probable that any material reductions
will be made.
The assessment by townships for 1900
ard 1901 is herewith given for the pur.
pose of comparison:
