COURsING AT SUFFER- CREEK.
Bulldog VS.. Greyhound.

The first coursing match that we re-
member to have taken place in Anna
dor county took place in Sutter Creek
last Sunday afternoon, on Tanner hill,
near the Central Eureka mining ground
Saturday afternoon J. Hancock, who
was the leading spirit in getting up this
sport. telephoned to Jack Chinn of
Jackson:
Come over tomorrow and bring
your greyhound; have imported six
hares from below; will turn them loose
tomorrow"
Chinn responded that he would be
there on time with his dog. Accord
ingly he, with friend named Charles
Archer, from Stockton, repaired to the
rendevouz. Now, wherever Chinn
goes his bulldog, George Washington,
accompanies him. The dog was on
hand on this occasion. Several sleek
full -blOoded hounds we're gathered in
Sutter from all parts of the county, pre-
pared to participate in the sport. They
had been trained to nicely, and looked
as though they could out-run a rail-
road train at full speed. George Wash
ington, fat and clumsy, appeared like
donkey beside thorough bred racer,
in comparison.
Il thought you We're going to bring
over your hound. said Hancock.
Never mind, " replied Chinn; s'here
il m dnn ~ rnae nipn Gao w gtapl
he'll get away with all the hares you We
got"
The owners of the sporting dogs
laughed at the idea.
Arriving at the field, the first hare
was turned loose, and couple of hounds
slipped from their leashes. Geo. W.,
like the rest of the scrub animals on
the ground, we're left to run at large;
they were not in it. The hare took to
its legs for dear life, the hounds after
it in fine style. Geo. Washington
waddled along behind, painting as if
ready to drop out. The chase became
exciting; the hare hard pressed,
doubled on its track, and came within
reaching distance of Geo. W., who was
on the lookout for just such snap.
He caught it in his jaws in an instant,
anu OhO az OIlOhOQ lil6 Oub VI III.
This score for the bulldog was unani-
mously voted scratch. So they paid
no attention to him in the second event.
Another hare was turned loose, and a
fresh pair of hounds took up the trail.
George Washington, however, con-
cluded to take hand in it also, and
managed as neatly as in the first in
stance, to capture and kill the second
hare.
This opened the eyes of the sports.
Rushing up to Chinn, one of them said:
'For Gods sake chain up that bulldog,
or he'll kill every rabbit we turn out. -
So for the remainder of the day the
coursing went on in orthodox fashion,
Hancock's dog capturing one, Rodgers
hound another. and so on. George
Washington had the mournful salts
faction of looking on and saying
nothing. Anyhow, the Jackson bull
hound, fat and ugly compared with
his competitors, carried off the laurels
of the day, the only instance on record
of dog of his build beating the regular
hounds in two straight heats, and get
ting himself barred out for his superior

A Correction.


Editor Amador Ledger:-I see in last
weeks issue of the Dispatch, an insinu.
alton in the editorial columns, that the
editor of the Ledger started the Re-
publican in opposition to the Ledger
which he had recently sold. In justice
to you l wish to say that the statement
is absolutely false. l know more about
the starting of the Republican than
any one else, and will say that 1 and
my brother, G. D. Calvin, were the
only ones responsible for the launching
of that paper. Mr.. Webb was never
consulted, knew nothing about the
matter, and never contributed one cent
toward that enterprise. In short, he
had no more to do with the starting of
that paper than the editor of the Dis
patch. If the rest of the inuendoes are
as wide of the truth as this one, the
Dispatch editor is wofully short of
ammunition for his mud battery.

essary? Because mining has tremend-
Gus certainties. The value of our min
eral products in 1880 was 1869, 3l9, 600.
In 1890 these products were valued at
S6l9, 512. 173. In 1899 the value was
1916, 800, 946. The figures for last year
are not available, but 1 am in posi-
ton to say they will show our national
mineral output has passed the bullion
dollar mark.
The exact figures for 1900 we're

"As far as material import is con-
cerned these figures show the mining
industry has risen to the dignity of a
department OF the federal government
Isn't this bill entitled to distinguished
consideration? If not for its money
value, if that view be too sordid, then
for other reasons. At first the average
man associates mining department with
precious metals. He forgets, if he ever
knew, that the bituminous coal output
in 1900 was valued at $167, 934, ,3O4; the
anthracite, $SS, 142, 100; petroleum,
S64, COB, 904; cement, $14, All, ,058; brick
clay, S14, $50. 600; stone, S44, 1856, 576,
and that the specified mineral products
on the mineral output list of the geo.
logical survey number sixty-two. He
forgets that with the facts already de-
termined mining men and the mining
authorities know full well mining in the
United States territory is still, in
sense, in its infancy. He forgets that
this billion-dOllar infant is big enough
to be taken out of it's swad6ling clothes
THUS far l have talked values. The
human phase of the issue, the senti-
mental phase, if you will, still more
nearly concerns the people. With the
development of the mining industry,
the number of working miners has in
creased propOrtionately, until today
there are hundreds and hundreds of
thousands of men working in mines and
at mining plants. The interests of
these men must be safeguarded, not in
an indirect way, not through depart
ment in which mining will figure as an
Incident along with the lighthouse SER
vice, marine hospital service, railroad
commission, fish commission, bureau of
foreign commerce, and similar branches
of the public service. l know that
great oaks from little acorns grow, and
what is now the agricultural depart
ment was once minor section of the
patent Office. But this knowledge does
not tell me that the creation of the
mining department should be delayed.
Aside from its material and scientific
value, the mining department is di-
rectly necessary to the welfare of work
ing miners. New and complex prob
lens are arising in the mining industry
every day which should, indeed, must
be, judicially considered by men equip
ped for that purpose. The secretary
of mines and mining must be man
with the quantity and quality of brain
and the necessary experience to insure
the proper discharge of his very trying
duties. No mere sciolist can head the
department of mines and mining.
Every mining man, every mining law
yer, [ had almost said every working
miner. knows that a man qualified by
reason of long experience for secretary
of commerce would not be fitted for the
position of secretary of department
of mines and mining. This fact simply
emphasizes the necessity of a Depart
ment for mines and mining"

DEPARTMENT OF MINES,

Congressman Woods is working
hard in behalf of his bill for the
establishment of department of
mines and mining He is losing no
opportunity to impress the necessity
for the creation of such a depart
ment under special cabinet officer,
upon the public mind. The mining
industry has grown to such proper
tions that it ought to be looked after
as distinct branch of the govern
ment. In an interview published in
the Washington Star of January 10,
one representative said:

Alleged Infraction of Game Laws.

A neat little story of detective skill
is reported from Sutter Creek. J. A.
Davis, stranger to these parts, but a
state official whose business it is to see
that the game laws of the state are en-
forced. struck our sister burg nearly a
month ago. He kept his own counsel,
at the same time made himself solid
with the boys, especially the nimrods
OF the community. He was in the
game business himself, but the precise
role he took therein he carefully con-
cealed. However, he managed to Sc
cure the confidence of the hunters of
the village, and they told him, so cur
rent report says, many things that,
had they known the mission of the
stranger, they would doubtless have
kept locked up within their own
breasts. They made preparations for
hunting expedition week ago last
Sunday, and invited the hunter from
abroad to participate. He excused him
self on some plea or other. They went
their appointed way, and brought home
as the trophy of the chase a wildcat
and other wild game. In the mean
time, however, Davis had not been
idle. He had dug up deer hide or
two from the premises of the hunters.
To have that kind of property on hand
during the close season is a misde-
meanor. The following day therefore
he placed under arrest L. G. Corotto
and John Bernardis on charge of vio-
lating the game laws. They were
taken before Justice McCauley OF lone,
and the case was continued until Thurs
day OF this week, as they were unrep-
resented by an attorney. Subsequent
ly W. j. MCGEE was employed to de-
tend them, but We understand that. de-
PENDANTS were advised to plead guilty,
and take the lowest penalty, which is a
! fine of S25.
