Those Water Tanks and Pipe.

A meeting has been called of the SUBJ
scribers to the fund for sprinkling the
lone road, to meet in the supervisors
room in the Hall of Records, Jackson,
on Wednesday evening next, at eight
o'clock. The object of the meeting, as
we understand it, is to ascertain the
wishes of the subscribers as to what
disposition shall be made of the pipe
and watering tanks now strung along
the lone road. Shall they be permit
ted to remain where they are and de-
teriorate in value, or shall they be sold
and the money realized therefrom used
for the permanent betterment of the
road. While the supervisors have full
power over the matter, still it is only
natural that they should seek to keep
in touch with the desires of their con-
stituencies. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that the property belongs to
county, and the supervisors have full
power to take such action as they deem
proper to protect the interests of the
county If the property is allowed to
become valueless, they Aone will have
to shoulder the responsibility.

Success Due to Advertising.

The Philadelphia Record tells an
interesting story about the success
of large general store in Wash
ington state. The proprietors be-
gan business in small way, lived
economically and saved every
dollar to buy space in the news
papers. Now their advertising con-
tracts call for an aggregate space of
107 pages year. The manager of
the concern says they would as soon
think of going out of business as of
reducing their advertising space.
The experience of that firm is the
common experience of all advertis-
ers. A man might as well take
down his business signs as to stop
advertising, as might firm.

A New Concentrator.

George Gates returned to Jackson
Wednesday night after an absence of
six months, during which time he has
been in San Francisco perfecting q new
concentration. The new machine bids
fair to out-class all present contriv-
ances for the work for which it is de-
signed. Mr.. Gates is an authority on
the sulphurets question, and the untir-
ing efforts put forth by him in this
direction deserve reward. Owing to
the superiority of the sulphurets Of
that district the first plant equipped
with the new machines will be built
at Salt Lake, Utah. Mr.. Gates brought
with him the model of the invention,
which is designed to produce the ma
chine motion. At the National Hotel
he exhibited it to few of his admiring
friends. 1t is indeed unique and appar-
emily complete in every particular.
He was accompanied to jackson by
his son.

Remarkable Mortality Coincidence.

A singular fatality coincidence, con-
corning two brothers, young men born
and raised in Amador county and we'll
known in Sutter Creek and Jackson,
was telegraphed from Los Angeles last
Friday. On that day Roy Watkins of
Sutter Creek received message from
married sister, in Los Angeles that
his brother George, more generally
known as 'Buz, died in that city
that morning; and also that younger
brother, Bert, died in Arizona the
same day, the two deaths occurring
within about an hour of each other.
Buz Watkins left Jackson three weeks
ago last Monday. He was then suf-
fering from consumption in an ad-
vanced stage of that dread disease. He
had been in the county hospital for
about week, and made the journey to
the southern city on the invitation of
married sister to make his home with
her, and in the hope that the change
of air might prove beneficial. 1t was
evident to his friends when he left here
that the end was not far off. The re-
mains were forwarded to Sutter Creek,
where the funeral took place last Sun
day, the body finding its last rest in
the family plot where his parents are
buried. Of the death of Bert Watkins
we have been informed that he was run
over by a train and instantly killed at
Gila, Arizona. His remains reached
Sutter Greek Tuesday evening, and
were buried by the side of his brother
on Wednesday afternoon.
Both were single men, aud were born
and spent their boyhood days together
on the old Watkins homestead on SUIT
ter hill.

NEW CASES.
E. G. Long, J. M. Kile and j. A.
Plummer, VS.. Zenith Mining and Devel-
opmsnt Co., w. L. Morrow and others.
Suit for anullment of contract or to
compel performance of same. Com
plant alleges that plaintiffs own an un-
divided two-thirds interest in the Alli-
son mining claim in Plymouth district.
On the 18th of May, 1893, plaintiffs
and L. K. Garrett, by an instrument in
writing granted to w l.. Morrow the
privilege of reducing the ore on the
dump of said mine, and the option of
purchasing the property by payment
of the following sums: [. K. Garrett
$4,000, ]. M. Kile $500, and ]. A.
Plummer S2500, and allowing said Nor
row six months in which to organize 8
company for that purpose. On Octo-
ber, 4, 1899, Morrow assigned to the
Zenith Mining Company all interest in
said agreement. Defendants erected a
ten stamp mill on the property and
crushed small quantity of ore. For
more than a year past they have failed
to prosecute work, and have permitted
the mine to fill with water. The mill,
completed two years ago, has been Op-
Grated not over 40 days. On the 9th of
January plaintiffs rendered to the de-
PENDANTS deed, and demanded pay
ment according to contract, and they
refused to pay. Judgment is therefore
asked that the agreement be declared
void, and plaintiffs released from the
terms thereof, unless the payments are
made within such reasonable time as
the court may determine, and for costs
of suit.

The Report About a New Bank.

A statement has been published to
the effect that there was a movement
on foot for the organization of another
bank in jackson. We are in position
to state that such report has no foun-
dation whatever. A proposition was
started to buy out the bank of Jackson
Dennis in Sutter Creek. and Jackson
parties were willing TO subscribe to the
movement provided jackson was in
cluded. The idea was to buy both the
Jackson and Sutter Creek financial in
stitutions, and still continue both banks
under one strong corporation, with a
capital OF at least 100000. Such a
bank, with the backing of the principal
capitalists of the county behind it,
would, it was thought, command the
utmost confidence of the business COM
munity, and practically control the
banking business of the county. The
idea of starting an opposition bank at
the county seat was never seriously en- .
tertained. The Jackson bank has been
ably conducted, and has done, and is
still doing, a very profitable business
considering the amount of capital en-
ployed. But it was argued that the
business might be materially increased
under the same management by in
creasing the capital stock. For rea-
sons which we are not called upon to
explain, the arrangements could not
be effected at present, so the matter
remains in allegiance for time, but
cannot be said to have been dropped
altogether.

THE SMALLPOX SITUATION
The Board Of Supervisors
Take Action.
They Meet in Special Session and Ap-
point a Health Officer -Quaran-
tine Established.

a special meeting of the board of
supervisors was held in Jackson last
Friday, for the purpose of taking some
action in relation to the epidemic of
smallpox in Sutter Creek. All the
members were present.
a communication was read from Dr.
w. ]. Hanna, representing the state
board of health, touching the condi-
ton of affairs III Sutter Creek.
Senator John F. Davis appeared as a
citizen aud addressed the board.
District Attorney Vicini, also Drs. E.
E. Endicott and A. M. Gall stated the
situation as they found it.
1t was moved and seconded that DIR.
a. Nj. Gall be appointed county health
officer for Amador county at salary
of $50 per month for the purpose of
taking charge of ali contagious dis
eases.
DR.. Gall al first declined the honor,
and suggested that some physician in
Sutter Creek be appointed.
A vote was thereupon taken on the
motion for the appointment of Dr. Gall
with the following result: Ayes-M
Newman, F. B. LeMoin, and A. B. Nc
Laughlin; noes, w. Nj. Amick and E.
B. Moore.
DR.. Gall was theroupon declared duly
elected, said appointment to take effect
Immediately.
DR.. Gall withdrew his objections and
accepted the appointment.
Supervisors Moore and Amicls ex-
planned their votes on this matter by
stating that they wanted health
officer for each township.
Moved and seconded that no claims
against the county in relation to con-
tagious diseases will be allowed unless
the same are authorized and approved
by the county health officer and dis
trict attorney. Carried by a unani-
nous vote of the board.
THE SITUATION IN SUFFER- CREEK.
DIR. Gall went over to Sutter Creek
as health officer on Saturday morn
ing, and quarantined eight or nine
residences. Others who had been ex-
posed to the disease were subjected to
thorough fumigation. School has
been temporarily closed, and every
precautiOn has been taken to guard
against the further spread of the dis
ease. The cases are all of a mild type.
There is little doubt that with ordinary
precautiou the contagion will be con-
fined within its present narrow limits.
There is no Outcry for harsh measures
of nOn-intercourse with the afflicted
town. Persons circulate between SUIT
ter and neighboring towns on business
almost the same as before. The truth
is there is no longer that exagger-
ated dread of this disease in the
public mind that existed few years
back. In short time we expect to be
able to announce that the county is
again rid of this unwelcome visitor.

A Muchly-Named Individual.

A man was arrested last Tuesday
morning on charge of selling without
license. He gave the following ex-
tensive list of names as a part and
practically the sum total OF his belong
ings: John Norton, George Frederick,
Fitz Henry, Augustus Gustavus, Dallas
Polk, Edward William Percy, Oman
Sharp. He is remarkably glib talker.
He was selling perfumery of his own
manufacture. 1t may be seriously
questioned whether license fee can be
demanded from one selling his own
manufactured goods only. However,
he pleaded guilty, and was given 10
days in jail.

MINING NEWS.

California has never paid much atten-
tion to Alpine county; but that does
not alter the fact that this little corner
of the Golden State is going to be heard
from very shortly. With the promise
of a sixty stamp quartz mill to be
pounding away up there next summer,
there is likely to be a surprise in store
for those who have not counted upon
Alpine county as possible bullion
producer. -Gardnerville Record.
KENNEDY.-They have finished cut
ting stations and building chutes at the
24OO and $500 levels of the east shaft.
The chutes are huge affairs, estimated
to hold about 1000 tons of rock each.
Crosscutting toward the north shaft
has been started from both 2400 and
$500 levels, the latter has been ad-
vanced about 25 feet The total depth
of the east shaft is 2630 feet = by
far the deepest on the mother lode.
About 80 men are employed in and
around this shaft The talk is that
new 60 stamp mill will be started
the coming summer. The Kennedy is
a great mine, and promises to be a
still greater bullion producer and en-
ployer of labor in the future.
The suit of the Argonaut against the
Kennedy Mining Company will be heard
in the United States supreme court in
April next. Judge Lindley will argue
the case for the Argonaut company and
Judge CARRIER is expected to appear for
the Kennedy. The suit has been pend
ing in the courts for eight years.
MISCELLANEOUS.
G. A. Douet is again able to be
around and has cleaned up the bed
rock which he had previously washed
off before he was taken sick. The re-
suit of the cleanup was seven pounds
of gold; value $500.
The Edinburg tunnel is now in 100
feet in ore, which gives returns ofS10

the future. Development of this prop
erty has been slow but sure. inexpen-
sive and profitable, without the COM
mon desire to make mine before a
claim has been prospected, which in
almost every case results disastrously
and gives our mining industry an un-
justifiable black eye. Now that the
Mitchell is long way ahead of the ex-
perimental stage and giving handsome
returns on the capital invested, numer-
Gus inquiries are being made about
mining property in the district.
