the tent, laughed silently TO himself be-

Jimmy's favorte amusement is that of

feeding with them In the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them, sending them scuddlng

The northern boundary line Of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by the
Delaware river from twelve miles dis
tant north of Newcastle town until the
three and fortieth degree of north lati-
tude' and that the southern boundary
WAS to be "a circle drawn at twelve
miles distant from the town OF New
castle northward and westward until
the fortieth degree Of north latitude
and then by straight line westward"
This makes a circular boundary for
northern Delaware unavoidable, and
the facts above set forth explain geo
graphical curiosity that has puzzled
many students.

To Thread a Hair Through u Walnut.

TO pass hair through walnut
without boring hole seems an impos-
sibllity. but the feat has often been
done. The hull OF the walnut when
examined with a strong glass Is seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some OF which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists In using
very fine hair and an Infinite amount
Of patience. Pass the hair into one of
these minute crevices and urge 1t gen
tly along. Sometimes 1t will appear on
the other side at the first trial. but II
It comes out at the hundred and first
you will be very lucky.

Lecture on Sclavonic Race.

Rev. Sebastian Dabovich gave
lecture on the Sclavonic race in Webb
hall on Tuesday evening before an
audience of about so persons. The
lecturer was introduced by Judge
Rust, in few appropriate remarks.
He said it was an honor to this section
that the only Greek church in Cali
fornia north of San Francisco was To-
Gated in Jackson. There were only
three of this denomination in the state
the others being in San Francisco and
Los Angeles. The lecture was preced-
ed by instrumental music by Bennie
Spagnoli, accompanied by Miss Queenie
Guilds on the piano. The rev lecturer
then proceeded to give an interesting
and instructive account of the origin,
progress, language, literature, and
rapid spread of the Sclavonic people.
Their number, under the Russian gov
ernment, was one hundred million, and
with those under other governments
they totaled 100, 900, 900. Not alone in
the arts of war was the race dis
tinguished, but also in the nobler arts
of peace it was making rapid studies.
He predicted for it great future, as
one of the foremost civilizing influences
of the world. He said Russia ought to
have the support of all civilized nations
in her work in Asia, especially in hold
ing back the Chinese hordes from the
invasion of the western nations, as ef-
fectually as the Pacific ocean held them
in check on the east. The lecture was
interspered with sample of old time
Sclav music, on one of the oldest musi-
cal instruments known to that race, by
a Sclavonian attired in native costume,
who also gave an old fashioned song in
his native tongue. A piano solo by
Miss Guilds brought the entertainment
to close. The net proceeds, amount
ing to about $50, are for the purpose of
paying off the debt upon the parsonage.

Arm Amputated.


Frank Molovich, who was shot
through the right hand by the acci-
dental discharge of his gun while out
hunting about month ago, has been
compelled to have the arm amputated
above the elbow in order to save his
life. DIR Gall attended him after the
accident, and amputated the two mid
die fingers of the injured hand. The
patient was getting along nicely, but
became respondent because of his dis
ability. He threatened suicide, and re-
fused to heed the advice of his surgeon
in regard to avoiding exposure. The
result was he took cold, and the case
was aggravated thereby. Seeing that
he was so self-willed, he was advised to
go to a San Francisco hospital for
treatment. Last week he went to st.
Mary's hospital. He was there told
that the symptoms of blood poisoning
rendered it imperative that his arm be
amputated between the wrist and ell
bow. At first he refused to submit,
and Jos. Simcich, relative, received
a dispatch early this week that he
could live but few days unless ampu-
tation was resorted to. On Wednes-
day he was informed by telegram that
the arm had been taken off above the
elbow, and it was hoped that no fur
ther complications would arise.

MINING NEWS.


CENTRAL EUREKA. the Min
ing and Engineering journal: A body
of ore 13 feet wide and averaging a
mill value OF nearly $40 per ton has
been encountered. This ore body has
been cut on both the 1900 and 1900 foot
levels, ensuring its value.
AMADoR-PHoENIX. ledge was
cut at the 100 foot station the latter
part of last week. 1t varies in size
tion, to feet inches at the bottom.
1t also varies considerably as regards
its gold bearing qualities. Some of it
seems to be heavily charged with the
precious metal, and would assay as
high as $50 per ton; at other points its
value barely reaches the pay standard.
Owing to this widely divergent char
acter of the ore, nothing can be told
definitely until an actual mill test is
made. The prospects, however, are
considered very encouraging. The
mill will not be started on the ledge
for some days yet. They were not
through with excavating the station in
the early part of the week. There
after it is the intention to drift on the
vein in both directions, and thereby
ascertain the extent of the ore shoot
and its gold bearing qualities.
BAY STATE.-J. j. Ekels informs
the Ledger that this mine has started
work again after years idleness. Mr..
Brendt is in charge of the work. The
mine has been kept free from water
right along, with George Kretcher as
engineer. After few days of cleaning
up, underground development was
commenced Saturday, with two
shifts. 1t is the intention TO crosscut
from 800 to 1000 feet to the east.
KIRKwooD.-Att this mine sinking is
progressing. with the object of going
200 feet deeper before again tapping
the ledge. This will carry the shaft to
depth of 900 feet At the 700 level
the ore body is large, but it carries in
sufficient mineral to pay. Some stock
holders are of the opinion that the
main ledge lies further west, and are
anxious to have this point decided from
the present 700 foot level before going
to the expense of sinking the additional
200 feet. The fact that the ledge is
comparatively barren at this depth, it
is argued, should not discourage the
stock holders. The great Kennedy
mine was unproductive at the same
depth. Not until 900 feet was passed
did the owners begin to reap reward.
The Kirkwood will do considerable
more prospecting yet before any idea
of abandonment is entertained. There
is enough money in the treasury
at present to tide over another month
or two of active work.

Second Annual Grand Ball of the jack
son Fire Company.

At the regular meeting of the jack
son Fire Company held Monday even
ing, January 6, 1902, the time for hold
ing it's second annual ball was fixed for
Tuesday, February IL, 1902. The fire
company has purchased a new $50 lb
fire bell, and will at once commence
the erection of their new fire house up
on the site granted them by the board
of supervisors, adjoining the bridge
over the north fork of Jackson creek.
The building is to be large enough 10
hold two carts if necessary, and hook
and ladder cart, and sufficient room to
store supplies not in actual use. A
steel bell tower will be erected over the
fire house, and the new bell placed in
it and connected with the fire alarm
system, which is to be greatly improved.
The company, in addition to the bell,
have recently purchased 500 feet of
new fire hose, and when the building is
completed will be we'll equipped. The
company has not requested subscrip-
tions from the citizens of Jackson for
this purpose, but has worked and saved
as much as possible, and with fair
amount realized from the ball will
have funds enough for the purpose.
The company therefore requests the
citizens of Jackson to contribute to
this fund by purchasing tickets. By
attending the ball they will help he
fire boys who are always on hand whe
fire threatens, and have already saved
our town on three or four occasions
from destruction by fire.

Died Suddenly.

Last Friday Mrs Delahide received
a dispatch stating that her husband,
r. j. Delahide, was dangerously i'll at
Randsburg, Kern county. She left the
same. morning for that distant
point, but on arriving at Fresno was
met by another telegram conveying the
sad news of his death. She proceed ed

sition he had occupied for two years.
He had been ailing for several days,
but only the day before his death did
his sickness assume threatening form.
