THE board of prisoners in Gala
veras county for the six months end
ing June 8, 1902, cost $192.6O. That
is at the rate of $50. 10 per month
Considering that the population of
our sister county is larger than that
of Amador, it must be admitted that
this is very economical showing;
much better than Amador county
can present. For the same period
shorthand reporting and typewriting
cost 500, and in this respect also
Calaveras shows up to advantage as
compared with Amador.

That Lancha Plana Affair.
LANCHA PLANA, July l6. 1902


LANcHA PLANA, July 16, 1902.
Editor Ledger:-
In reading the Amador Ledger of
July 1lth we noticed heading
"Lancha Plana Sensation" and read.
ing down the column found some state.
ments made by one Mrs. Blackman
formerly Mrs. Ella EarD attacking US
in falsefying manner, and use this
means in reply, that our friends and
the readers of your valuable paper may
not be Smisled. In the first place we
do not see why the statements this
Mrs. Blaokman. made against us should
appear in column of sensation vio-
lence and misdoings. We fail to see
anything sensational, violent, or mis-.
doing in her statements in regard to
onr mining by hydraulic procese
Now, there is only one truthful state
! tmcnt made, that is Us to her time of
residence here, about 20 years ago and
had she added that she had succeeded
III keeping the community in turmoil
and uproar during that time the truth
would have been moro manifest First.
it is stated gravel claim known as the
Sheridan mine was started by hydraulic
power. 1t is d rich claim, and as far as
worked paid well. Now the question is,
how did Mrs. Blackman find out about
the richness Of this claim, as we never
say anything about its richness or poor
ness. as we consider it no ones business
but our own. But if we only had fair
miners wages since we have been work
ing this SO reported rich claim, we
would be financially a great deal better
off. 'Tis true, our sluice boxes showed
signs of being tampered with one night.
Now as TO hydraulic mining, process
that has been in use in this vicinity
more or less for forty years, with no.
body interfering or reporting anything
about it, as it WAS considered by the
citizens and the farmers on the banks
of the river benefit, why should
Blackman step in to interfere with our
work, when nobody was bothering Or
interfering with him in the least, and
he man that has not dollars worth
of property to be injured by mining or
otherwise. Why should Mr.. Black
man speak to the operators, Messrs.
Sheridan and Adams in a spirit of
friendliness, SO it is claimed, and bis
overtures were unheeded? Now this
statement we claim is nothing but q
falsehood, for he never opened his head
to either of us about our process of
mining. Furthermore, there has been
hydraulic mine that Joined the Sheri-
dan mine that was operated by China
men for three years or more, of which
fact your informant and Mr.. Black man
were we'll aware of, which ceased opera
tions about year ago. Why did not
Mr.. Blackman report on the China
men? No, but as soon as white men
mine by hydraulic process they are re-
ported by him-a man who thinks
more of Chinaman than a white man.
His every movement has been that of a
spy and informant against the white
miners since becoming resident Of
this town.

OIL ON ROADS.

The question whether the use of
oil will solve the road problem in this
county is still an unsolved enigma.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said and done in this direction, there
is still diversity Of opinion as to the
advisability of this method of treat
ment. In Sacramento county there
is howl Of discomfort over the road
ways treated with oil Teamsters
say the oil forms a soft spriugy cov-
ering, and this reduces the amount
of load an animal can haul, and
makes the work harder upon horses
than over the ordinary earthly road.
In other places where oil has been
tried it is said to make hard COW
ering, making light work for the
horses, and enabling heavier loads
to be hauled 1t is hard to reconcile
these seemingly conflicting results.
How comes it that oil is pronounced
a success in one place, and a failure
in another? Does the difference
arise from any radical difference in
the nature of the roadbed treated2
These are questions worth investi-
eating. 1t can be readily under
stood that applied to hard, macad-
amized roadbed, the oil would form
a smooth coating that would prob
ably help rather than retard traffic.
But how about soft, alluvial road
way? In that case would it not act
like blanket coating, that would
yield with pressure, and make con-
tinuous dead pull. Itseems that the
ada apt&ollity of the process to the
widely varying conditions of the
roa7a ot Amador county can only be
determined by actual tests. If a,
snail piece OF macadamized road,
also d short ran of the sandy loan
road mile CT Two out of lone, were
treated with oil, the material being
applied under the most approved
conditions, We might then have some
definite foundation upon which to
form correct judgment. 1t is re-
ported that wheelmen condemn oiled
roads for cycling purposes. 1t is
harder work to push their wheels
over the oiled track than the ordi-
nary road. If this be so, it goes a
long way toward proving that it
would prove unsatisfactory for
wagon traffic. The same cause that
makes it harder for the cyclist would
make it harder on the horses. Of
course the main point to be consid.
cred is, Would oil assist or impede
traffic? The question of laying the
dust, and the pleasure of driving
over comparatively dustless road,
are of secondary Importance If oil
would impose greater strain upon
draft animals, and necessitate lighter
loads than can now be hauled, we
have no use for it on the main
thoroughfares of Amador county.

The voters must remember that
an unquenchable loyalty to the busi-
ness of office-holding is not much of
a recommendation for support. De-
votion to principle and loyalty to
friends count for much. Citizens
do not vote for the man who wants
the office most, but rather for the
man they want in the Office. There
is vast difference between these
two propositions.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
hamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
