Arrested for Serious Crime.

A man named L. G. Napoli was ar.
rested by constable Kay at New Chicago
last Tuesday, and lodged in the
county jail to await trial on serious
charge. 1t seems the accused was en-
ployed at place near Slabtown dur
ing last week, and made a vicious as
sault upon a woman, who was alone at
the time. Her cries for assistance
brought Chinaman, who was working
close by, to the scene, when Napoli
drew a knife aud threatened to kill
both of them. No bodily injury was
inflicted, beyond scuffie. The affair
was placed in the hands of the con.
stable on his return last Sunday from
San Francisco, and he speedily located
his man in New Chicago, and brought
him to jackson. The accused has
been in the county, it is said, about a
year.

Insane Commitment.

Edward Hulick, who was committed
to the Stockton insane asylum, and
taken to that institution by deputy
sheriff Jerry Podesta yesterday, is the
only person committed for insanity for
the present year. The last previous
commitment was October 80, 1901,
eleven months ago. Hulick, it will be
remembered, is the man who started
the disastrous grass fires in the vicinity
of Plymouth couple of months ago,
for which he was committed to Jail.
He was examined for insanity at that
time, and pronounced responsible for
his actions. At the examination this
week, however, it was evident that he
was unbalanced mentally. His manner
was excited, speech confused, actions
destructive and filthy memory de-
fective; he endeavored to set fire to his
bed, and destroy furniture. He i'm
agines he is the possessor of wealth,
and has been defrauded out of $50, 900.
He has wife and child, who are un-
able to pay for his maintenance.

The lone Fair.

The fair at lone commenced Wednes-
day, October l, and will close this
evening. The exhibits in the pavilion
are not on as elaborate scale as in the
early years of the society. Neverthe-
less there was creditable showing of
farm, dairy, and other products. The
attendance from the outside has hardly
been up to the average. Pleasing
exercises were had in the pavilion on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
A large attendance is looked for at the
wind-up this evening, when an un-
usually attractive program will be
presented.

WEEKLY MINING RESUME.
Machinery Arriving for the
New Kennedy Mill.
Central Eureka Pays Another Divi-
dend.-Mitchell and Phoenix
Mines Still Idle.

AMADoR PHoENIX.-This property
has come to a complete standstill. The
company has quit even the effort to
keep the water out. This was con-
tinued for some time after active min
ing operations were suspended, in the
hope of keeping the property in con-
dition to be inspected by those seeking
investment therein, but finally the
prospect became too uncertain to JUS
tify the expense. Those connected
with the venture are all persons OF
limited means, and they carried it as
long as they were able. In order to as
certain whether they have a mine, it
will be necessary to sink, and as this
would entail considerable expense the
company decided to shut down for a
while.
KENNEDY. Grading for 40 stamps
is completed, and excavation for 20
stamps more is being pushed ahead.
This will give total milling. capacity
of 100 stamps-the greatest milling
capacity for one mine ever known in
this county. 1t is probable that eventu-
ally the old 40 stamp mill will be moved
over to the new site, as it would be
more economical to operate ono hun
dred stamps under one roof, than in
two separate mills. The machinery
for the new mill is daily arriving on the
ground, and the work of construction
will commence shortly. 1t is not likely
that the new mill will be ready to start
before next year. The machinery for
the new hoist is not yet arriving. 1t
is claimed that both mill and hoist will
surpass anything now running in the
state. By hosting four tons at load,
it will be comparatively easy work to
supply the 100 stamps crushing from
400 to 500 tons per day from the one
hoist.
MITCHELL.-This mine is still idle.
The company is in debt for wages and
supplies to the amount of about $4,000.
A number Of the employees were in
jackson Saturday to protect them
selves by filing liens. 1t is believed,
however, that everything will be
Strengthened out soon. and the prop
erty again started. According to all
reports the mine is all right. Some
capital must be spent in sinking and
opening it up. 1t is only three hun
dred feet deep, and considering its
depth it has responded literally in out
put of metal.
ONEIDA.-The last cleanup of this
mine left a satisfactory margin of profit.
Indeed, the balance, after dedueting
all mining expenses, has been increas-
ing for several months. 1t is reported
that the amount last month was So, 900,
over expenses. No dividends have
been declared by the company, but the
surplus in the treasury is accumulating.
Ii affairs continue at the same salts
factory gait, it is the belief that divi-
dends will be in order ere long
MISCELLANEOUS. = The Central
Eureka paid dividend of two cents
per share last month, aggregating
$4,000.
The Alma Mining Company has
levied an assessment of five cents per
share. 1t is hoped that this may be
the forerunner of the resumption of
work on this property.
At the Edinburgh mine strong flow
of water has been encountered, which
necessitates improved machinery in

Agricultural Experiment Station.

Yesterday our foothill agricultural
experiment station was visited by two
distinguished professors connected with
the agricultural department. One was
Geo. G. Husmann, expert in viticul-
ture, connected with U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, whose home is in
Washington, D. G. The other visitor
was E. H. Twight, of the University of
California agricultural experiment STA
ton. Mr.. Husmann is making tour
OF inspection in behalf of the govern
ment of the experiment stations on
the Pacific coast, and expects to spend
several months here, not only in look
ing into the condition of experimental
stations already established, but also
in establishing other stations along
special lines. This was the first visit
of Mr.. Husmann not only to our local
station, but also to any station in Cali
fornia. Both gentlemen were very
much pleased with the condition of
things at our foothill station, and
complimented Mr.. Barber, the super
intendent, on the able manner in which
he has discharged his duties, and the
practical results secured. Both visitors
left Thursday afternoon for lone, to
take the evening train en- route to
Fresno and other points.

E. S. Pitois, who has just mado the
trip to Sacramento, says that the ex-
pertinent of oiling the soft roads be-
tween Folsom and Sacramento has
proved fat failure. A boggy, sticky
condition of the roadbed has resulted.
that is far worse than if no oil had
been used. But where the roadbed
was first made Of solid material, and
we'll packed, the oil has proved very
serviceable. Some so teams are now
at work between Folsom and Perkins,
in scraping up the oiled roadway, and
hauling gravel for the purpose of
making hard bed. Half a mile of
road had been formed with solid
gravel bottom, and afterward treated
with oil, and this has proved decided
success. They are now at work to fix
the entire road in the same manner.

ported that he got the disease by visit

officer, upon visiting the Drendel
family, found two of the children
broken out with the disease, and es-
tablished quarantine there. The
Charity school was closed temporarily,
in order to have the premises thorough
ly fumigated. The cases are all of a
mild form. DIR. Gall on Sunday, went

at the clerks Office, we found that no
petitions of this kind have been filed
so far. There is plenty of time yet,
however, as the law provides that nom
nations by the people may be made by

election. The last day for filing in

Work on the Title Guarantee, Loan and Trust Co.'S building at the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-first street, has been delayed by the failure of the Pittsburg manufacturers of the steel col- umns and beams to deliver the material on time.

 The Woodward office building Of ten stories Is receiving It's finishing touches and will be ready for occupancy by the first of October.
 The old buildings on the northeast cor ner of Second avenue and Twentieth street will be pulled down in October to make room for the steel frame building to be erected by W. H.
