tween Pine Grove and Clinton put in
good repair. AS the',road ithas been
impossible for nearly two years the
teamsters are rejoicing.
This vicinity is so overrun with
coyotes that not farmer has escaped
losing poultry. Mrs. Fisher lost a
turkey and four chickens in one day.
AS David Fisher jr. reached home from
work Wednesday coyote seized a
chicken within five feet of the dwell
ing, and made off with it. He gave
chase for quarter of mile, when the
brute dropped the chicken and escaped
in the brush. Minus lot of feathers
the fowl was otherwise uninjured.
DR.. Decker, U. S. N, principal
owner of the Mitchell mine, is on the
ground, and will remain until 10 of the

MINING NEWS.

CENTRAL EUREKA. = Speaking of
this mine the Mining Review says that
every level from 1900 feet TO 1000 feet
is now opened. The ore from the 1900,
1900 and 1000 foot levels average $40
per ton. The company has put in a
new air compressor and has paid a
dividend this month of two cents per
share or total amount of $4,000.
Next month it is likely the dividend
will be cents per share.
WILDMAN.-S Sinking is in progress
at this Sutter Greek mine. The Ma
honey has been closed, on account, it is
said, of the poverty of the ore.
KENNEDY.-As a result of the de-
velopments on the 2200 and 2300 levels
last month, the stock of the company
jumped several dollars per share.
While a portion of the ledge is said to
be very rich, on the whole it is low
grade proposition. The ore body is
large, in places over 100 feet wide, and
taken altogether it is not expected to
average more than from S. to S6 per
ton. This, however, is just the kind of
proposition that mining men prefer
The Argonaut is practically closed.
Only few men are employed in finish
ing up. A number of men have been
laid off the past week. The mine gave
employment to between 80 and so men.
The new twenty stamp mill of the
Mitchell mine, near Pine Grove, is ex-
pected to start up about the 1st of next
month

Got Into Trouble.

The Sonora papers report the fol-
lowing in connection with the estate of
Bias Claich, who was we'll known
around Jackson:
When Bias Claich died last week,
near Sonora, B. Vlahcovich, country
man, who had been caring for him,
skipped out at once, not waiting for the
funeral. He took with him Claiche g
bank book and $50 or $50 in money,
also gold watch and chain. Vlahco-
vich Was arrested in Oakdale, and
brought back by Constable Leland.
He is now prisoner in the jamestown
jail, awaiting an examination. Claich's
nephews are now in the county and
propose leaving nothing undone to dis
cover where he secreted his wealth, it
being the general belief that the old
man was possessed of at least $40, 600 to
S15, 900 in cash,

Fire in Plymouth.

Reports were current in Jackson
Monday afternoon that the business
portion of Plymouth had been wiped
out by fire. Later reports said that
the slaughterhouse of l.. Burke, sit
uated some distance from town, to-
gether with barn, had been destroy
ed. Lawrence Burke, the owner of the
slaughterhouse and butcher shop, was
in Jackson at the time, and recei we'd
an urgent message from home to re-
turn as soon as possible. as fire was
raging. From this the exaggerated
reports above alluded to were doubt
less set afoat.
The truth seems to be that a grass
fire started not far from the slaughter
house, and was making headway in the
direction of the Burke building. 1t
was extingulshed, however, without
doing any damage worth speaking Of.
Soon afterward, a fire started in
town, in the residence of William
Felker. 1t started from the kitchen,
and the roof was all ablaze before the
alarm was given. The flames spread
from the dwelling house to the black
smith shop near by, and both struc-
lures were utterly destroyed, with
practically all their contents. The
blacksmith shop was run by William
Felker and his son George. AS far as
we have been able to learn. there was
no insurance upon the property. The
loss falls heavily on the Felker family,
who are left without anything, and
their means of earning a livelihood
destroyed.

BLUE LAKES.
Improvements in Progress by the Standard
Electric Company.

From parties just down from the
works of the Standard Electric Com
pany at Blue Lakes, we learn that the
dam at the lower lake, which was
broken last summer, is in process OF
reconstruction, and this work is rapidly
approaching completion. AT Meadow
lakes, three miles or SO TO the west, a
large force OF men is at work, con-
structing a new dam. There are about
LIS men employed at this point, a
much larger number than at Blue
Lakes, and the number will likely be
increased as the season advances. II
is the intention to finish this dam this
summer if possible.

W. H. George, representing the
Realty Syndicate of Oakland, has been
in Jackson and other towns in the
county, in the interest of that corpora
ton. The certificates OF the syndicate,
bearing 6 per cent interest. payable
semi-anuUally, are increasing in popu-
larity in investing circles in this coun-
ty. There are number of certificate
holders scattered throughout Amador,
and those who have been investors for
years, speak in favorable terms of the
promptness of the company in meeting
its obligations. The syndicate is not
only the owner of all street car lines
in Alameda county, and also vast tracts
of unimproved land ia and around
Oakland, but is also the main spring OF
the proposed new ferry system between
Oakland and San Francisco, to con-
meet with the tpanseontipental line of
the Santa Fe railroad. This vast
enterprise is the reason the syndicate

The Black Gown.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Sidney Smith said that he would willingly
do without the necessaries of life II he
might only have the luxuries, which means
that he would have foregone a cloth suit
in order to buy a silk opera cloak.
Many women who dress echo this enti-
ment, and even deprive themselves of
warmth and comfort in order to obtain the
requisite number OF smart evening frocks.
But to combine elegance and economy
nothing is so desirable as a really good
black gown. A beautiful black gown is a
necessity, and a perfect costume for the
opera-provided one has plenty of jewels.
Black tulle is much worn this season, and
black frightened with gold and softened
by fine lace makes a clever and most ar
tistic combination.
One successful frock, of black tulle, was
powdered with golden paillettes and APP
plique with delicate white lace. The
pouched bodice had trimmings of the same
lace, and clever touches of pale blue on the
sleeves in front of the decolletage. and also
a narrow, folded waist belt. Another lovely
black g~own-alasi costing $250-was a Pa
risian mixture of white net, black Chantilly
lace and gold sequins, with bows and ends
Of black velvet ribbon. The sleeves of this
dress were long. but loose. cut in the style
OF a bishop sleeve, but quite transparent.
This fashion of long. or semi-long. sleeves
to smart evening gowns is one of the most
striking novelties of dress in 1902.
Another black gown was made in softest
black lisse, with black lace roses applique
on a pure white background. The edge OF
the round decolletage was bordered with a
narrow band of closely set. ~leaiess white
roses. and there were a few white roses on
the skirt.

her out into a snowstorm. She is followed

and carries her to a place of warmth, where
in she comes to her senses TO learn that her

again is beautifully open to her. The
writer's of the play, Lottie Blair Parker
and Joseph r. Grismer, intended the char
acters 10 be ideally typical, but Anna, really
is only a weak woman. and young Bartlett
is a man OF intellect below the ordinary
that is honest only because he has no
chance to be otherwise. None of the per-
sonages of the drama reveals at any time
a moment of good sense. This New Eng
land is as heathenish as the interior OF
Africa.
There are, however, several ramat
periods in the play, and Miss Phoebe Da-
vies, who has been engaged in playing the
part of Anna since the original production
of the piece, makes a great deal out of II
by her earnest, natural method. Her de-
nunciation OF the Bartlett family, Just be-
fore she steps out into the snowstorm, has
a thrilling ring. Miss Davies should be
employing her talents In a better place.
The company is excellently equipped for
its work and the Characterization are the
result of close observance and skillful re-
production. Archie Boyd impersonates the
squire, Uric 3. Collins his son and Sarah
Stevens his wife. John E. Brennan is the
roaring chore boy. and Ella Hugh Wood
the village gossip. Charles A. Burke sings
the old "All Bound Round with a Wooden
String and does a clumsy dance with
comic exactness, and j. H. Bunny con-
tributes a "rube' with a leg stiffened by
rheumatism, for which he secretly drinks
whisky. There is the infallible singing
quartet and IL is composed of good voices.
The stage is set with elaborate care and
there are real horses, cows and sheep.
Everything the scenes contain is real, and
the significance of the play is so easily
recognizable as real" that 1t is common
and shallow. Performances will be given
on this and tomorrow evening and to-mor-
row afternoon.
