sured from plaintiffs, who are old and
infirm, and unaccustomed to business
transactions, bond for deed for all

price stated is $4,000. He also delivered |

Cassinelli's New Store.

On or about the first of January Pete
Cassinelli will remove from his present
location near the bridge on Broadway,
to more commodious premises. He has
leased the Whitmore building on
Broadway, in front of the lum ber yard,
and will open the same on the date
mentioned, as frst-class, up-to-date
fruit, produce and general grocery
store. The premises have been en-
tirely re-modeled, a new bay window s
feet wide by 10 feet high replacing the
old one. The dimensions of the new
store are 20 ft. wide 80 #. long IL #.
high. 1t is fitted up with fine oak
grained counter, Is #. X q it,, the en-
tire length being surmounted with a
superb french polished sugar pine top.
Along the sides of the. store are two
runs of oak grained shelving, each 80
feet wide, and in the rear stands a
large refrigerator of the most modern
type, in which to store poultry, cheese,
butter and other perishable articles
during warm weather. Mr.. Cassinelli
came to Jackson from Volcano four
years ago. Since that time his un-
varying courtesy and urbanity have
won him a host of friends iu this
vicinity, and his business has conse-
quently been on the ''up grade" for
some time past, so much so that he
has been compelled to seek more COM
modious quarters. He has now on sale
an especially fine stock of oranges,
mountain apples, bananas, nuts, and
other seasonable fruits. Also poultry,
canned goods, fresh fish, etc., and
those who desire good value for their
money should not fail to promptly
patronize him. In conclusion, it may
be said, his enterprise and pluck are
worthy of emulation by all, and we
heartily wish him success in his new
undertaking

Dick Edwards Paroled.

The board of prison directors at a
meeting at San Quentin last Saturday
paroled Dick Edwards, who was con-
victed of murder in the second degree
for killing man in Jackson over eight
years ago. This action of the prison
authorities will be hailed by all who
are acquainted with the facts as just
interposition of the pardoning power.
Indeed, many are of the opinion that
Edwards was harshly dealt with; that
he acted more in self defense, than from
malicious motives. He was sentenced
to eleven years in the penitentiary, SC
that with credits for good behavior the
parole means about one year deducted
from his sentence.

MINING NOTES.

GARDELLA.-The company which
has under operation the Easyz BIRD
quartz mine on the Mokelumne river,
and other properties in the vicinity ol
Jesus Maria, has we understand, taken
hold of the Gardella mine at Big Bar,
on the AmadOr side of the Mokelum ne
river, and is making arrangements to
commence development work. During
the week Daniel Black has been en-
gagged in hauling lumber to the mine
for the erection of necessary buildings.
This property is owned by Joseph Gar
della, who has erected thereon a two
stamp mill and has been operating it
successfully on his own hook for some
time without the aid of capital This
speaks well for the merits of the mine,
for few quartz properties there are in
the state which will even begin to war;
rant single-handed operation.-C

ARGONAUT KENNEDY. - w. F.
Detert, the principal stock holder in
the Argonaut mine, who was present
at the re-argument of this famous case
before the supreme court of the United
States in Washington recently, re-
turned from his eastern trip last Sun
day. He says that while it is uncer-
tain how long time will elapse before
h., 4 =, 4
cations point to a speedy decision. A
motion was made that the attorneys
be allowed 10 days in which to file
printed copies of their arguments. This
motion was opposed on account OF the
time asked for being too long, and the
period was reduced to five days. From
this it is inferred that the court will
take up the matter at an early date.
SHENANDOAH The company opera
ting this mine, which is under the
uperintendency of S. K. Thornton, is
plodding along with the development
work in a manner that commands the

known as the mother lode. The shaft
has reached depth of 1000 feet, and
Mr.. Thornton reports that it is now in
vein matter.

steadily from the 1000 foot level, and it
is confidently expected that sinking for
the 2200 foot level will commence after

and south at the 2300 level in the South
Eureka mine is now in progress. In
the meantime the 20stamp mill at this
mine is idle, pending development at
the before mentioned level

The Owen Fallon Case.

The case of Owen Fallon, charged
with the murder of Ray Meehan in
August last, was dismissed in the su-
perior court on Monday last, on motion
OF district attorney Vicini, and the de-
fendant at once released from custody.
After the one trial had, resulting in a
disagreement of the jury, with score
of IL to in favor of acquittal, it was
realized by the prosecution that it
would be folly to attempt to try the
case again unless further evidence was
Forthcoming. After waiting reason
able time, without any new develp-
ments, the district attorney concluded
that it was in line with his duty to the
public and the defendant to move for
dismissal. We believe his action in
this regard is in line with public senti-
ment. 10 have pressed it to second
trial without additional facts to streng-
then the hands of the prosecution,
would have been looked upon as USE
less expenditure of public money, and
an official might well shrink from as
suming such a responsibility.
