dense ignorance concerning Cali
fornia. The impression seems to
prevail that it is good place for
the health-seeker, but not for the
wage-earner or the man who is
ambitious to make home. The
truth is California has inducements
to offer in every department of
human industry not excelled by any
other state in the union; and the
foothill region, of which Amador
county is a fair sample, is the equal
of any part of our favored state.
We want more people. Population
means wealth. No matter how rich
a country may be, without the pop
ulation necessary to open up its re-
sources, it must remain poor. The
organized effort to advertise the
northern and central portions of
California marks the dawn of a new
era, which cannot fail to leave a
lasting impress for good upon
this matchless land.

Practically Starving.

AFTER few bottles of Kodo Dvs-
pepsia Cure my wife received perfect
and permanent relief from a severe
and chronic case of stomach trouble, Z"
says j. r. Holly, real estate, insurance
and loan agent, of Macomb, Ill. ''Be-
fore using Kodo Dyspepsia Cure she
could not eat an ordinary meal without
intense suffering. She is now entirely
cured. Several physicians and many
remedies had failed to give relief. !"
You don't have to diet. Eat any good
food you want, but don't overload the
stomach. Kodo Dyspepsia Cure will
always digest it for you. Kerr's phar-

FINAL HEARING NEAR.
-Argonaut-Kennedy Case Goes Before Fed
eral Supreme Court.


The extended and important litiga-
tion between the Argonaut ard Ken.
nedy mining companies will soon come
up for final hearing before the United
States supreme court. Curtis H. Lind
ley has already left for Washington to
deliver the argument in behalf of the
Argonaut,, and John CARRIER is expect
ed TO depart in a few days in order to
present the Kennedy's side of the dis
pute to the august tribunal. The COM
panies are eoterminous mining proprie-
tors upon the same vein or lode, the
top or apex of which passes through
the Pioneer or Argonaut mine into the
Kennedy mine in Amador county. In
addition the Kennedy company owns
property in the vicinity known as the
Silva mine, and the controversy has
grown out of the mining of ore by the
Kennedy company below the surface
OF this part of the Kennedy possessions.
The question is very nice one in min
ing law, as it involves the questions of
end lines and extralateral rights. 1t is
further complicated by the fact that
the: end lines of the Argonaut property.
are not parallel. Reduced to its closest.
limits, the case presented to the United
States supreme court is this: The
Argonaut, as the proprietor of pat
ented mining claim having within it's
boundaries the apex of vein, insists
upon its ownership of that vein
throughout its entire depth within
vertical planes drawn through its end
lines, and those lines produced in
definitely in the direction of the dip, as
against the Kennedy, which owns
part of the apex of the same vein, the
end line between them being a common
one, but which has crossed beyond and
out of the common end-line boundary
and taken and reduced the ore, ASSERT
ing its right to do so by virtue of It's
ownership of the Silva mining claim.
The decisions thus far rendered have
been in favor of the Argonaut Mining
Company.-S. F. Chronicle.

A nice point has cropped up in
Stockton in connection with the
position of health officer. They are
Just recovering from an epidemic of
smallpox in the slough city. The
law allows the health officer a salary
not to exceed $50 per month. The
question has arisen, what duties are
required of him for this salary. It
is conceded that he is required to
diagnose case, and see that quar-
antine regulations are enforced.
But the Stockton health officer
claims that it is not within his Of
ticial duty to treat the cases, and if
he does so-and he has done so in
many instances-the city is re-
sponsible for his fees. Suits are
about to be commenced to decide
this question.

NOTICE.

When you are about to buy a suit
OF clothes, it would be absurd to 90
to a carpenters shop. When in
need of medicine, you would not call
on the blacksmith to prescribe for
you. To reasonable people it will
appear that to buy a; suit there is
but one place, and that is the tailor
shop, where your suit can be fitted
on you before being made up; and
where you can select your goods,
not from a piece of scrap on paper,
where in nine cases out of ten when
your suit arrives it isn't at all what
you selected. If you buy it home
you can select your goods from a
large assortment of piece goods, and
can see what you are getting for
your money. Your ready made
suits are pressed and remodeled with
no extra charge; this l guarantee.
Remember mine is the only place in
jackson where you can have this
done free of charge.
Have just received a brand new
line of spring and summer goods all
ready made and to be made up to
order. Mems, Youths and child
ren's clothing of the latest styles.
Trusting to receive a call from
you, and thanking you for your past
favors, and soliciting the same in
the future,

THE passenger department of the
Southern Pacific Company has Just
issued a little booklet entitled.
California for $25." It contains
short articles from the best writer's
of the state, setting forth the varied
resources of the state, with the view
of attracting immigration. The
railroad company is doing splendid
work in advertising California.
Hundreds of thousands of these
booklets will be ;irculated in the
east, more particularly in the states
that furnish the bulk of the settlers
coming to the Pacific coast. After
all that has been said of the beauties
of our favored state there still exists
in the mind of the average citizen in
the older sections of the country, a
Amador ledger., 1902-03-14

THE Amador Record tries to con-
sole itself over the defeat of the in
corporation scheme in Sutter Creek
by saying that the result was due to
the fact that the non-property hold
ing class voted against it, while the
taxpayers were in favor of it. If
such was the case, it is just the re-
verse of the conditions that existed
IN Jackson when the same issue was
settled here year ago. We are in
clined to think that our cotemporar Y
is mistaken in the statement. We
believe the bulk of the property
owners in Sutter Greek fought and
won the battle in Sutter Greek as
they did in Jackson. 1t is uphill
business to make the people believe
that by increasing the machinery of
government in such towns as we
have in Amador county, the cost. of
government will not be increased.
or that the efficiency of the govern
ment will be increased. Experience
is all against both propositions, and
experience is better guide than
prophetic utterances.

OILING ROADS.

The question of the use of oil on
the highways has been freely dis
cussed in Amador county as else
where, but after all there are points
in connection Herewith that are
still unsettled. In some places it
has been pronounced a success, and
failure has marked experiments in
other localities. The supervisors of
Yolo county recently took a trip
through San Joaquin, over the oiled
roadways there, and the result of
their investigation is thus reported
in the Yolo Mail:
"Of course, in some parts of the
State the experiment has not been sat-
isfactory, but in all of those instances I
think the failure was due principally to
the lack OF proper conditions, especially
SO IN Sacramento county. The San
Joaquin board has demonstrated be-
yond doubt that, at least, on some
SOILS splendid results are obtained by
olllng roads when conditions are right,
In the vicinity of Stockton oil has
been applied on roads of sandy soil and
adobe. The best results were obtained
on the former. The oil saturates the
surface to depth of few inches,
forming a solid compact coating not
unlike asphaltum." Mr.. Hoppin here
exhibited a sample of road crust he
brought with him from Stockton,
which is like, what he described
piece OF asphalt. ''On the adobe soil
the experiment has not been so salts
factory, but is successful, and a first
class road can be made.
THE supervisors of San Joaa uin are
so thoroughly pleased with the expert
ment-so far they have only expert
mented-that this summer they will do
more of it, or thoroughly finish the
work partially done, and will take off
several water sprinkling carts. They
will also oil roads for stretch of thirty
miles. When considering the fact that
San Joaquin gets its water cheaper-it
is pumped with windmills-than most
OF the other counties of the State and
that they will practically abandon water
sprinkling in favor of oil, it shows con-
clusively that there at least the sprink-
ling with oil is considered better and
more economical
