From Pine Grove.

Rev. Geo. w. Beattie, pastor of the
NJ. E. church. who has labored very
acceptably in this field for the past
year, left Tuesday for the purpose of
attending conference, which meets at
Pacific Grove next Wednesday. 1t is
hoped that he will be returned
N. c. Williams has hauled q quantity
of lumber to Pioneer for the purpose of
building the new church. The sum of
$40 was raised by entertainment re-
Gently for this object, and with dona-
tions of lumber, labor, and money al
ready promised, it is believed the
church will be secured with little or no
debt upon it when completed.
The general impression is that the
closing of the Mitchell mine is merely
temporary. Those who worked there
say there is fair paying rock. 1t is un-
accountable that the mill should be en-
larged to double its capacity, on the
strength of the underground develop
ments, and the mine closed down before
the extra stamps could be brought into
action. The mine is somewhat behind
in wages, which is nothing in itself
against the property, as the building
of the new mill has involved heavy ex-
pense. 1t may be. that the manage
ment, which has always been careful
and prudent, has concluded to hang up
the stamps, and suspend work, until all
arrears due the miners are paid. The
sum is small. Some again are inclined
to believe that the suspension means a
probable change in the control of the
property. Anyway it is hoped that
arrangements may be speedily made to
resume work. This mine is looked
upon as favorably situated for proving
the value and extent of the gold bearing
lodges of this region. 1t is pioneer in
its character, and for that reason its
development was watched with more
than ordinary interest by the residen ts
of this section.

Sacramento State Fair.

The state fair opens in Sacramento
next Monday, September 8, and will
continue until September 20. The
managers of the fair have made every
effort possible to render this annual
gathering unusually attractive this
year, both in the way of the exhibits
of products and the speed program.
The liberal prizes offered in the live
stock and agricultural departments
have created an extraordinary demand
for space, so that the directors have
been kept busy building additional
stalls to meet this demand. The
poultry department will also be replete
with special attractions. The fair will
be conducted along educational lines
this year to greater extent than ever
before, and every farmer, stock raiser,
dairyman, and horticulturists should
not miss the opportunity of witnessing
the finest exhibitions of the products
of the state ever gathered within the
boundaries of the state.

MINING NEWS.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. at this mine
have come to a standstill. The full
number of stamps-twenty-had not
come into play when the shutdown
came. 1t is hoped that the suspension
is only temporary. There is said to be
a large ore body, but the grade is lower
than was anticipated.
ZEILA.-Immenso quantities of heavy
square timbers and other lumber, are
being hauled to this mine, preparatory
to commencing the work of retim ber-
ing the shaft for distance of 100 feet
Two hundred thousand feet has been
ordered, which is about the quantity
necessary to complete this work. 1t
will take at least three months to do
this retimbering, during which time no
hoisting of ore can be done, and the
mill will consequently be shut down.
1t has not yet been definitely decided
when this shaft repairing will be
started.

Reported Miners Union.

Reports have been current in Jack
son and throughout the county that an
effort is being made TO organize u
miners labor union in this county, with
headquarters in jackson. Meetings
| have been held in the basement known
as the Olympus cafe for three successive
nights, for the purpose of launching a
new secret society. An organization
has been effected, but the exact nature
and object of this new society is still an
open question. Of one thing there can
be no doubt. Persistent efforts have
been made during the past three months
TO start an organization of some kind,
confined largely, if not exclusively, to
the laboring men. Whether the OBJ
iect of this move is to interfere in any
way with the pleasant relations exist
ing between employers aud employees
we do not know. 1t is no secret, that
mine owners here are unalterably OPP
posed to any dictation at the hands of
employees. Rather than submit to any
thing of that kind the mines would be
closed down. The Zeila was shut down
thirty years ago as the outcome OF an
attempt of the miners union to make
suggestions to the owner regarding the
management. The grim reply of DR..
Zeila to the men, was to spike down
the shaft right away" and it remained
spiked for eight years. The man
agement of that property is just as
resolute and determined on this propo-
sition as at that time. The revival of
any scheme to hamper the mine-Owners
at this juncture, is to be deprecated.
We have talked with A. Lubimar, who
has been one of the active spirits in this
movement. He is Indignant that such
Il construction of the object of the
move should be circulated, and says
there is no truth in it. 1t is educational
in its scope, the motive being to impart
instruction in the English language to
the foreign born population, to enable
them to become citizens, and to help
them along in other ways. 1t is to be
called the Union Education Club, or
some name Of that kind. 1t is of a
beneficiary character, but has nothing
whatever to do with the question of
wages, or other matters pertaining 10
the mining industry. There is no OBJ
lection, he says, to receiving some
trusted person as the representative of
the mine owners into the order, who
shall have full authority to report to
said owners any drift of the organiza-
tion toward interference with the re-
lations between capital and labor.
This is fair, and ought to satisfy all
parties.

Attached to the use Of the ring in
wedding and other ceremonies from
the earliest times there have been
mystic meanings. Whether the plain
band or the motto-inscribed article
which the changing times brought
into fashion, the ring has retGned its
significance attached 70 It as a sacred
emblem or an emblem IMPLYING sacred
ceremonies. To the devoutly religious
or the careless scoffer at religion the
little circlet has its charm.
Solemn betrothal by means Of the
ring often preceded matrimony in the
the middle ages and was sometimes
adopted between lovers who were
about to separate for long periods.
Shakespeare has more than once al
lnded to the custom, which is abso-
lutely enacted in his Two Gentlemen
Of Verona" where Julia gives Porteus
a ring, saying: Keep you this re-
membrance for thy Julia's sake" and
he replies: why, then, wen make
exchange. Here. take you this" The
fourth finger Of the left hand has from
long usage been consecrated to the
wedding ring, from an ancient belief
that from this finger a nerve went to
the heart.-Chicago Chronicle.
