Long Power Line.

Stockton is now supplied with light
and power from the electric plant at
Colgate, on the Yuba river, 2l2 miles
distant. The Bay Counties Power
Company, that owns the Colgate plant,
and the Standard Electric Company
have made an arrangement to exchange
power in case of an accident to either
plant. This is to avoid Inconvenience
to patrons using light or power. 1t is
expected that by the 1st of December
the big plant at Electra will be COM
pleted and the current turned on.
This plant is not more than so miles
from Stockton, and it is probable that
most of the power for that city will be
furnished from that source. The
Sperry Flour Mills in Stockton are
being put in readiness to start up with
electric power.

An Old Pioneer Gone.

M. Bruml, an old resident of Locke
ford, San Joaquin county, died in that
town on Sunday last. Deceased was
one of the pioneer residents oil Jackson
He settled in this town in 1852, and
was engaged in business here for about
II years, at the place where Muldoon S
saloon now stands. He then moved to
LockefOrd, where he remained ups to
the time of his death. He was en-
gagged in the general merchandising
business in that town for thirty-two
years. His death was sudden. He
had been slightly ailing for two or
three days before, but the end was I'M
expected. 1t is thought that death
was due to heart disease. He leaves a
wife, two sons, and a married daughter
to mourn his departure. Deceased was
brother-in-law of the late job n
Levinsky of Stockton, also one of the
pioneers of Jackson.

Portillo Convicted.

Eulogio Portillo, who stole the
check of the face value of S27
from Jesus Aguilar, and passed it on
John Perovich. the proprietor of the
Central Hotel restaurant, and who was
caught at lone just as he was about to
leave on the train for San Francisco,
was arranged, pleaded guilty, and sem
fenced to four years and six mon tbs in
the penitentiary. In addition to the
check that had been given by the
Standard Electric Company in favor oil
Aguilar, Portillo confessed to taking
$25 in coin at the same time. This is
quick work. 1t took just fifteen
minutes from the time Perovich told
Kay about it, for that officer to tele-
phone and secure his arrest.

Mining Notes.

CENTRAL EUREKA.-E. Kuchen-
hacker has secured the lease of the
tailings plant at this mine, and has
already taken charge. MILFORD Dennis
was running the plant until recently,
when his appointment as agent for the
Western Union and Wells Fargo's ex-
press in jackson made it impossible
for him to give his personal attention
to the sulphurets saving business, so he
has sold his interest to Mr.. Kuchen-
hacker. The new lessee is well posted
IN such matters. He attended to a
similar outfit at Amador, below the
keystone, for years, and will no doubt
make a success of his new venture.
PEERLEss.-We are pleased to an
nounce decided Improvement in the
prospects of this property. In drifting
south on the 800 foot level, following
the gouge, body ofquartz of fair mill
ing quality has been struck. Pounded
in mortar and PANIED, the rock shows
free gold. The ledge was two feet wide
at last accounts, and still widening
The stockholders are naturally greatly
elated over this strike, and now con-
hdently look for the development of a
paying mine on this property. The ore
body was encountered 100 feet from the
shaft.

the cause.

We understand that supervisor Le-
Moin disputes the statement made by
us last week, that the site of the new
bridge to be erected on the Carbonate
road lies partly in his district. We
obtained our information from a party
living in that section, and who ap.
peared to be acquainted with the facts,
and who certainly made the statement
in all sincerity. We are pleased, how
ever, to make the correction. The
supervisor of district five certainly
knows whether the structure extend 3
into his territory, and if he says it does
not, that settles the matter. The
bridge must lie wholly within the limits
of township two.

to Mr.. We'll by man supposed to be

chandise amounting to $14.25, paying
him the difference, S29.5O. The man
ordered the goods sent to Pine Grove
to "Mr. Mcpherson Luckily the
real owner of the check, j. Hooking,
came on in time and had the man ar
rested before he had time to go to Pine
Grove and get the goods. Mr.. Wells

sold, and about S12. E. Mcpherson,
the accused, is well known around Pine
Grove. He has concluded to stand
trial, and has employed G. Fl. Crock r

Action for dissolution of copartnership
and for an accounting. The complaint
sets forth that in August 1898, at ANA
dor City, plaintiff and defendant en-
tered into partnership for the purpose
of conducting a saloon business in

PENDANT was entitled, and that he never
