Shall We Celebrate the 9th.

The matter of celebrating the 9th of
Septemb Der in Jackson was brought up
in the Native Sons parlor this week.
A disposition has been manifested to let
the fourth of July be attended to by
other parts of the county, and to have
a grand gathering at the county seat
on admission day. The Native Sons
have taken the initiative in the move
ment, and have appointed committee
to canvass the town for the purpose of
ascertaining the sentiment of the busi-
ness community on the subject, and re-
port to the next meeting OF the parlor.
1t is foregone conclusion that the busi-
ness people will be in favor of it. 1t is
hoped that all benevolent societies will
cooperate, and work in unison to make
the proposed celebration success. The
proposition has not taken any definite
shape yet, but it may be stated that if
it is undertaken along the lines pro-
posed, it would certainly result in one
of the largest and most imposing cele-
brations ever witnessed in Amador
county.
Amador ledger., 1902-05-23

The game occupied two hours, and
was won by the Jackson boys with a
score of IL to s.
A dancing platform 4Sx60 feet was
literally patronized during the day;
also the ice cream and soda stands,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable wealth
er. Nearly so gallons of ice cream was
sold on the ground. No Intoxicating
drinks of any description was permitted
on the picnic ground. The racing pro-
gram was cancelled, also the tug-ofwar.
The days amusements concluded
with a grand ball in the evening in
Loves hall. There was big turn out,
the hall being packed. Music for day
and night was furnished by Rothe's
orchestra and band.
The ball supper was furnished at the
Globe hotel.
The receipts on the grounds and
from the ball were about sufficient to
balance the expenses. The picnic was
not given for the purpose of making
money, but rather to increase the
growing popularity of the order. 1t is
the strongest fraternal organization in
jackson. Eleven were initiated at the
last meeting, and more are expected to
join at the next meeting.

seriously interfered with the enjoy
ment. Nevertheless there was fair
attendance. Arriving on the ground

presented:
Music by the band; prayer by Rev.
Geo. H. Van Vliet; song by the glee
club; address by the president, E. A.
Freeman; music by the band; Grafton

A Noted Mining Man Gone.

A. P. Minear, one of the pioneers of
gold mining in the west, died in Wash
ington, d. c., on April %. Mr..
Minear was man of strong physiq ue
until in recent years when the hard
ships and exposure that he endured
began to tell upon him. He was taken
sick last August, while visiting a min
ing property in the Blue mountains, in
Oregon, and grad ually became weaker
until his death.-Mining & Engineering
Journal.
The deceased was we'll known
throughout Amador county. He was
instrumental in organizing the Amador
Gold mine, and was the superintendent
for several years. His energy was un-
firing, and his ability as an organizer
was beyond question.

Earthquake Shock.

The severe shake-up that was report
ed in Sacramento at 1890 Monday
morning, was also felt in Volcano and
lone in this county. We are told that
Mrs. Goodman remarked at the exact
time that the earthquake occurred in
Sacramento, about peculiar vibration
of the earth, which she believed to be
an earthquake. In lone the shock was
also distinctly felt. In Jackson, how
ever, no one seems to have noticed it,
except that the delicate instruments in
the telegraph Office appeared to be
strangely affected.

Jackson hopefuls had a gala time
last Sunday. There were 25 gallons of
ice cream left over from the picnic last
Saturday. What to do with this sur
plus was the question that troubled
the managers. They we're unable to
sell it, so they decided to give it away,
and so notified the people. And the
boys were not long in getting away
with it. They marched up to Loves
hall. where it was kept, and filled lard
buckets with the delicacy, and had a
fill-out with ice cream that they have
not had for years, and that too not
withstauding achilling north wind that
was prevailing.
Vic Ferrara, whose back was severe
ly injured by the fall of derrick pole
at Bear river camp, while in the en-
ploy of the Standard Electric Company,
was removed to San Francisco on
Thursday of last week. He was brought
from Bear river to John Fregulia's in
Jackson, and was under the care oi
DR.. Gall. He was paralyzed below the
waist. The timber struck him in such
a manner as to dislocate the back bone
The Standard Electric Company have
paid all expenses entailed by the acci
dent, and concluded to send him to
San Francisco to be attended to there,
There has been no material change in
his condition since the accident. 1t i;
probable that if he survives, he will be
a cripple for life,
