A CARELESS HEADLINE
Which Does Not Fit a Story About
 Phoenix.

There ought to be a law confining facts contained in the articles which they are supposed to decorate. A few days ago the St. Louis Post-Dispatch contained the following head line: The Hottest Spot in the Country Is Phoe- nix, AriZ.'
 The following is the foundation for the headline:
 The journey by rail from Los An geles, Cal, to Phoenix, Ariz., these midsummer days is without doubt the hottest anywhere in the country. From the moment the traveller crosses the Sierras at Banning. Cal, and drops down the eastern slope of the noun tains he finds temperature that is sel- dom below 105 degrees in the shade and often nearer 115 degrees.
 Several times recently the tempera- ture in the cars, while crossing the Col orado and Maricopa deserts, has been even 121 degrees. From June 23 to July the average daily temperature at sta- tions on the desert along the railroad was 116 degrees. and the old-timers said that the sun had not yet begun to get down to active business.
 In all this region Yuma is acknowl- edged to be the banner hot town of America. The writer observed the mer- cury in the thermometer at Yuma the ether day with interest.
 At D. m. the mercury stood at IT. degrees in the shade of a wide porch At o'clock it registered 119 degrees, and at $40 o'clock it was 120 degrees That was the highest notch for the day.
 At 4:30 the mercury was back at 11S and at o'clock it was down to 116.

A Story OF the Prairie

The Century magazine is about to
print a serial which will have an espe-
sisl interest TO people who are at home
on the prairies. 1t is called ''The
Biography OF a Prairie Girl" and the
author is Eleanor Gates, a young
IN who spent her childhood in
Dakota and who thus writes from the
closest personal observation.
The time OF Miss Gates story is
soeut 25 years ago; it is put in the
fbrO OF a personal narrative, of the
lie q a little girl, and there is hardly
sphase or event of prairie life which
IL not touched upon in these pages
the blizzard, breaking colts, horse
stealing by Indians, school days on the
froutier, lighting gophers and badgers,
cattle raising and other typical phases
OF hardship or prosperity.
d Ia not \ novel, but the same char
zcters appear and reappear in the story
with a reality which impresses the
reader with confidence in the truth OF
Abe narrative.
"The Biography OF a Prairie Girl'
will begin in the August number of the
Century and it will be illustrated.

AN HISTORIC STRUCTURE.
Benedict ArnoId's New Haven Home
May Be Torn Down. 4

May BE Torn Down.
In a dismantled condition, the prey
of relic hunters and the ravages of
time. there stands in Water street, in
New Haven, Conn.,, a house erected by
the most Infamous man who ever called
America his home and which was later
occupied by n of the most renowned
of Columbia's sons. 1t is a residence
erected by Benedict Arnold in the City
of Elms in LII. Water street in colonial
days was the select residential street
Of New Haven. Arnold, then a dashing
young fellow. conducted a drug store.
He prospered in business, married well
and branched out into the East Indian
trade. In which he made a fortune. He
was one Of the most prominent men In
New Haven at the outbreak Of the
revolution and the mansion on Water
street sheltered many a distinguished
guest. Then came his brilliant career
in the army and his subsequent igno-
minious betrayal of his country.
Time and the encrOachments of bust
ness interests have brought the fine old
colonial mansion down to the level now
of Its less a%ristocratic neighbors, but
traces are still to be seen of the mag
n%ifcence Of which it once was proud.
The house is now part of a lumber
yard, and the parlors and spacious
chambers where Arnold and his bride
lived and received the elite of the town
are now occupied with piles of scant-
ling, and the colonial staircases are
now changed to lumber elevators. In
a short time what is left of the old

house will be torn down and the space
1t occupied turned into a woodward.
While no attempt has been made by
New Haven people to save the old Ar
mold house, as it can be believed that
the reputation Of it's first occupant Is
no great source of public qualification,
many Of the finest pieces of Its original
architecture have been preserved. An
tiquarians and unpoetical junk dealers
have banded together to raZe the old
place, and what remains to-day is the
merest shell of the old structure. The
mantelpieces. carved English oak rail-
ings and the furniture have all been
scattered among museums throughout
New England. But there still remains
the original exterior, and the window
blinds, d%oorways, cornices and much of
the original decorations are still left.
Not only Benedict Arnold, the traitor,
but Noah Webster, the famous lexico-
grapher. lived in this historic old man
sion, and the rooms that once echoed
with the laughter and gayety of the
days before the revolution also har-

to New Haven in 1898. Up to that time

1. o. o. F. Picnic at lone.

A few days previous to the adver-
tised time of holding the SD anniver-
sary of the formation of Oddfellowship
in America, April 26th, at lone, the
weather wore gloomy aspect, and by
many it was feared the picnic would
have to be postponed, but the weather
prophet decreed that the day would be
suitable for outdoor amusements and
the grass dry enough to allow of sitting
down IN 1t to picnic spread.
Bright and early on last Saturday
morning vehicles of Jackson with gay
young and old occupants were seen
leaving town, and an informant tells
that all the rigs in town were engaged
for that day. Arriving in town pro-
cession of Odd Fellows, headed by the
lone Cornet Band, was seen moving to-
ward the old fair grounds, where upon
arriving literary program was salts
factorlly carried out, when old and
young broke up into little groups to
enjoy picnic dinner.
The afternoon was given over to
amusements, and in the evening a
grand ball was had under the auspices
of the lone Cornet Band in the Pavil-
ion in town, which was crowded with
dancers, and thus ended most sue
cessful affair.
The air ship in course OF construc-
tion IN lone could not be got in readi-
ness to sail through the air, and of
course many who had gone thither to
witness Its ascent were disappointed.

Boyish Franks.

"A pair of boys, Dudley Laughton and
Nash Barton, left their homes In Jack
son about 8 o'clock Tuesday night,
each on horseback, and started off to
face the world on their own account.
Next morning the boys and the horses
were missing, and the fact of their dis
appearance became widely circulated.
A little investigation by constable Kay
revealed the reason of their sudden de-
parture. 1t seems the two boys, with
their imagination aflame at the attrac-
tions of the lone picnic last Saturday,
set their hearts upon attending that
festival. Friday night they bagged
some chickens, some IA in number, and
disposed OF them at cut rates to the
Louvre restaurant, getting another
boy, Chas. Rugne, to deliver them and
get the money. The amount realized
from the transaction was 40. With
money in their pockets they took in
the picnic, and enjoyed themselves as
only boyhood can, their pleasure no
doubt being somewhat marred by the
apprehension of coming trouble on ac-
count of their commercial adventure.
The disappearance of the chickens led
to Investigation, and Rugne when
cOrnered, told the officer all he knew
about the transaction. The boys
sought safety in flight, and travelled all
night toward the south. Rugne was
to follow them, but he was persuaded
that it was useless to run, so he con-
cluded to go out after the truants and
get them to return home if possible.
The parents of the boys were anxious
about them. To arrange for an
amicable settlement about the chickens
was not difficult, and so young Rugne
went forth to overtake them with the
welcome tidings that their return home
would not be attended with such dire
consequences as their imaginations
pictured. He found them at Oakdale,
Stanislaus county, over 40 miles from
jackson. The romance of facing the
world on their own account had worn
off, and they were speedily convinced
that home was q much better place for
them under the circumstances than the
nowhere to which their steps had been
directed. Besides, their horses were
tagged out, and they themselves were
also tired of the travelling business. So
they turned their faces homeward
Rugne got back Thursday afternoon,
and reported the other two at Buena
Vista, and making the trip from that
point-ten miles distant-on foot.
Constable Kay went forth to look for
the boys in the direction of Latrobe
and Sacramento, but they beat him on
the home run,

Still Talk of a New Bank.

The talk of organizing another bank
in Jackson has revived. We are in
formed that negotiations for purehas-
ing the controlling interest in the Anna
dor County bank have fallen through.
The intention was to secure the control
of the present bank, and increase the
capital stock to 100000. This amount,
with strong individual backing as well,
would, it was thought, command the
utmost confidence of the business com
munity generally. 1t is to be regretted
that this arrangement could not be
carried out, as one bank with sufficient
capital to meet the exigencies of the
community is much to be preferred to
two institutions, even with the same
amount equally divided, and both COM
manding public confidence. 1t is re-
ported that one man has signified his
willingness to put in $3.50 into the
proposed bank, and that inquiries
looking to the purchase OF suitable
business site have been started.

Runaway Accident.

On Sunday evening, while the Jack
son band was giving concert from
the porch of Lemin's saloon, serious
runaway accident occurred. A double
seated buggy, in which were two young
ladies of Sutter, and two young men
of the Oneida, whose names we have
not been able to ascertain, one of the
latter driving, ran full tilt against an
obstacle on the roadside near Para
mino's residence, on the Jackson
Gate road. The force of the col
lision was sufficient to break the horses
loose from the vehicle, and they started
down the road toward jackson at a
furious gait. No one in the buggy was
thrown out or injured in any way
Opposite the residence of w. S. Will
liams, the principal of the Jackson
school, stood cart containing Mrs.
Williams and child, and Mr.. Will
liams. hearing the danger coming, held
the horse to prevent its taking fright.
One of the runaway horses, however,
cOllided with one of the wheels of the
cart, striking against the tire with
sufficient force to break its neck. 1t
died in a few minutes. The collision
carried the cart all of twenty feet from
the place of contact, and threw Mrs.
Williams, with the child in her arms,
out in front. The child escaped without
injury, but Mrs. Williams has been con-
fined to her bed most of the time since
the accident, under the care of DR..
Endicott. She is suffering from a
wrenched back, but no serious results
are apprehended. Her mother, Mrs.
Taylor, came over from Amador City
early in the week, to take care of her.
She was able to be around at last ac-
counts. The horse that was killed was
valuable animal from the livery stable
of w. Kerr in Sutter Creek, and was
valued at 500.

WEEKLY MINING RESUME
Good Ore Encountered at
the Bunker Hill.
More Stamps Dropping at the Gen.
tral Eureka = Surveying the
Sargent Mine.

KENNEDY-The matter of the erec.
ton of the new hoist at the east shaft
of the Kennedy is still under considera-
tion by the directors. The con-
structiOn of the hoist, and the erection
of the additional mill, have been def,
ntely decided upon. The plans for
the hoist, submitted by V. S. Garbar-
mi, are before the company, but have
not been finally accepted. There is no
doubt, however, that the work will be
undertaken the coming summer.
The mines are contracting for large
quantities of round timbers to be deliv-
cred from the mountains of this county
this year. Owing to the advance in
the price of lumber in the city, it is
expected that nearly all the mining
timbers will be furnished by the local
dealers this year. This means big
business in the logging camps of the
mountains, and a heavy teaming season
all along the line.
BUNKER HILL.-It is pleasing to be
able to state that the prospects of this
mine have materially improved during
the past week, and the stock holders
are encouraged at the outlook. On the
800 level the drift has broken into q
body of ore, estimated to be worth at
least so per ton. The Dimensions of
this ledge are not known at present, as
it has Just been encountered. 1t seems
to be widening out, however, giving
good milling proposition in size as well
as quality.
CENTRAL EUREKA.-The additional
20 stamps were started up Wednesday
night. Owing to the deficiency of
water caused by some obstruction in
the pipe, only one half of the addition
al milling capacity was kept in motion.
w. r. Thomas, the superintendent,
informs us that he expected to have
the entire mill of 40 stamps in full
operation yesterday. The mine is
looking well, and the rock in sight is
sufficient to keep the 40 stamps run
ming constantly.
SARGENT AT this mine at Middle
Bar adjoining the Hardenburgh on the
south, the preliminary survey was run
last Saturday. The object of this was
tO aScertain what her tho lnda limo ran
through the center of the claim. This
point being satisfactorily determined,
the company is prepared to go ahead
and spend considerable money in de-
velopment work. w. r. Thomas was
in jackson yesterday, and deposited
the money called for by the bond, and
the deed was expected to be placed in
escrow the same day.

A Sad Amiction.

Mamie Tam, eldest child of Mr. and
Mrs. William Tam, died Wednesday
evening, after brief illness of pneu-
monia. Fer several days the forces of
life and death, as developed by that
dangerous disease, contende1 for the
mastery, and the outcome was doubt
full. Wednesday the crisis of the
malady was reached, and it became
only too evident to the anxious parents
that nature was exhausted, and fatal
termination inevitable. The victim
was a remarkably bright and intelli-
gent girl, and general favorite with
her schoolmates and companions. She
had suffered from previous attack of
the same disease, and this probably
left its impress upon the system and
reduced the power of resistance against
the second attack. The parents are
heartbrOken over the loss of their first
born. and the sympathy of the entire
community>is drawn toward them in
this hour of their bereavement.

Molfno Homestead Contest Ended.

The case of the homestead contest of
A. RechneillO VS.. V. Molfino has been
finally decided in favor of the contest
ant, Rechneillo. This matter has been
pending in the land Office for over two
years. Rechneillo secured a decision
in the Sacramento land office. The
case was appealed to the Commissioner
OF the general land office, who affirmed
the Judgment of the local Office. This
was not deemed conclusive and an ap-
peal to the secretary of the interior
was taken. This is the court of last
resort in land Office matters. The Sec
retary, however, decided that the
evidence was ample to sustain the
Judgment of the Commissioner, and
the decision was again affirmed. An
application for review of the pro-
ceedings was the only recourse left the
homestead claimant, and a period of
thirty days was allowed in which to
continue the contest in this manner.
The respondent, however, realized the
hopelessness of continuing the struggle.
On the 14th of April the Sacramento to
land office received notification from
the general land Office that the time
having elapsed, without further action
on the part OF respondent, the decision
in favor of Rechneillo was made final
and Molf1nO's entry ordered cancelled.
r. Webb has represented Rechneillo
all through this hotly contested case,
and all correspondence on the contest
ants side has been conducted through
him. w. A. Newcum, the present re-
ceiver, and acting register for Thomas
Fraser, who is incapacitated by reason
OF sickness. thought proper to direct
the final notice of cancellation to A.
Rechneillo at Jackson, sin care of r,
Webb" What motive influenced the
official in thus switching from the usual
path, it is needless to imagine here.
This will be made the subject of further
investigation. The result of this new
departure in land Office officialdom was
that RechneillO was in Jackson several
times anxiously inquiring if any news
had been received in regard to his
case, all oblivious of the fact that
letter was lying in the postoffice here
addressed to him, and containing the
very information he was seeking. His
postoffice is Pine Grove, and he went
home still unenlightened. Sixteen DAYS
have elapsed since this official notice
left Sacramento, and still he knows
nothing about it or of it's contents, not
withstanding that since the presence of
this letter became known to his attor-
ney, every effort has been made to in
form him. Inasmuch as the law allows
him only 80 days after being notified
of final decision in his favor to file on
the land in controversy, as preferred
settler. it becomes nice question as to
when this time commences to run under
the peculiar circumstances surrounding
this particular case. This homestead
contest has been the most remarkable
case of the kind that ever occurred in
Amador county, and the incidents con-
nected with its wind-up form the most
remarkable chapter of its history.
