Amador ledger., 1902-11-07

An interesting statement of rather
remarkable results in mining and
cyaniding which have been reached
at the Vandalia mine in El Dorado
county, Cal, was made by W. C.
Ralston at recent meeting of the
executive committee of the Cali
fornia Miners Association in San
Francisco. The statement illus
trated an argument in favor of a
free Interchange of practical ideas
among members in conventions and
otherwise.
Il recently visited the Vandalia
mine and learned something that
was quite a surprise to me-" said
Mr.. Ralston. II found that, with
an SO-horsepower engine, they were
using Coalinga oil, distilling the oil
and using the gas to run a gas en-
gine, and their cost for the last five
months has been from II to 20 cents
an hour for SO-horsepower. That is
$1.8O a month per horsepower.
Free water power can not beat that.
| thought our power at the Melones
mine was pretty cheap. We have
the Stanislaus river and it costs us
nothing but the maintenance of the
fiume, but, taking the cost of the
dam, the cost of the fiume, the cost
of maintenance and the charge off to
depreciation, aud we cannot provide
power for $1.80 per month. And
there is plant there that was a
revelation to me in regard to
cyaniding. They are cyaniding the
raw ore. They have 47O-ton tanks
and in 49 hours they are extracting
85 to 80 per cent. They are getting
the cost down there to nearly 81 per
ton. Pacific Miner.

1t is noteworthy fact that the
vote for Pardee and Lane in town
ship one is tie, 407 votes being
cast for each candidate. This, how
ever, does not fairly represent the
strength of the parties. 1t is well
known that a number of votes, prob
ably 80, all republican ballots, were
thrown out on account of having a
cross stamped opposite the words
mo nomination" The republicans
lost from 30 to 40 votes, not only for
the governor, but for nearly the
whole state, congressional, and legis
lative tickets from this cause. The
democratic column contained no sue h
pitfall to trip the unwary voter, and
so their candidates escaped loss from
this source in township one. Here
after, for the protection of the ticket
as a whole, republicans will be wise
to leave no vacancies on their ticket.

By an official statement from the
Office of the state controller, giving
the assessed value of property, and
the tax rate by counties, we find
that there are fifteen counties in the
state having a larger tax rate than
Amador: two having the same rate,
Placer and Santa Cruz; and 80 hav-
ing a lower rate. OF the fifteen
with the higher tax rate, only four,
MADEIRA, Nevada, Yuba, and San
Bernardino, are, like Amador, free
from debt. There are only II
counties having a smaller assessment
roll than Amador. The total prop
erty valuation of the state is given
at 81, 29O, $50, 465.

THE LOCAL ELECTION.

Inc pfeQOmlnance OF sentiment IN
Amador county in favor of republi-
can supremacy has once more been
demonstrated, in a clear majority
for the state, confessional and
legislative tickets. Amador coun-
ty, notwithstanding that the MAORI
ty for the head of the ticket is small
is firmly rooted in the republican
column. The conditions were pc
culiar. Strong influences were at
work to lure voters from the sup
port of the republican cause. Every
specious argument was resorted to
to win votes for Lane and Gillette.
Organized labor took a hand, and
endeavored to trap the voters. 1t
is unquestionably true that these
schemes had some effect, in drawing
strength from the state ticket. The
majority for the head of the ticket
-hasbeen cut in two, but neverthe-
less the outcome is very gratifying
from the republican standpoint.
Considering the upheaval in politics,
the injection of the labor unions in to
active participation therein, the
steadfastness with which the repub-
lican party of Amador county has
met and repelled the assault, is
cause for congratulatiop Notwith-
standing the decreased majority for
the head of the ticket, it is safe to
say that the county is stronger in
republican sentiment than two years
ago. Fully thirty. republican bal
lots were thrown out ON account of
the stamping of cross in the square
opposite ''No nomination" It is
also well known that scores voted
for the democratic head of the ticket,
and the balance straight republican.
We believe Amador county in a
clear-cu issue, such as is presented
by presidential election, is repub-
lican to-day by over 200 majority.
On the local ticket, while the out
come is not all that we could wish,
it is nevertheless satisfactory in the
main issue. 1t is well known that
the principal fight centered on the
sheriff's Office. Around this the con-
testing forces gathered-with de-
termination on one side to put forth
every effort known to the trained
political manipulation to hold it; and
on the other, with an equally firm
resolve to capture this key to the
local situation if possible. The re-
publicans won on this issue, and
thereby scored the greatest victory
that has been won in Amador coun-
ty for ten years. Other contests
were dwarfed by the keen and over
shadowing interest that was taken
in this fight.
The one discouraging feature that
has been brought to light by this
canvass, as in previous contests in
this county, is the fact that repub-
icans are more disposed to scratch
their ticket than democrats. We
do not believe this is an inherent
weakness. 1t is due to exceptional
circumstances. The power and in
fluences of the local offices were
lined up nearly solid on the demo-
cratic side. We know there is a
double action about this sometimes,
which was fully illustrated in the
contest for sheriff. On the other of.
fees the republicans, however, were
at disadvantage from this cause.
The republicans elected Norman
sheriff, and Marchant assessor, and
Grillo supervisor in township three.
The rest of the local Offices 90 to the
democrats, including the treasurer
and county surveyor, heretofore
held by republicans.

will say that there are five different
species which botanists call by the fol-

e,lla. Authorities differ as to which is
the true shamrock Tor more correctly
spelled Seamrog). Some ancient
authors assert that oXalis acetoselIa
or wood sorrel was the trifoil made
use of by st. Patrick. yet, twenty-five
counties and parts of counties in Ire
land say that trifolium minus is the
genuine one. The shamrock will grow
in any country. even in England, if
properly cared for. There is not city
in the United States but has pots Of

The illness of Father Burke is due to
the fact that he attended a parishion-

Burke visited her Just before her death
