TRENTON, April II, 1902.---Among a big
batch of bills signed by Governor Murphy
yesterday was Senator McCarter's politi-
cal measure providing for single-head-
ed commission for Jersey City.
The bill was designed to Offset the DEM
ocrat;c control of Jersey City's affairs by
providing for the appointment of an Off
Ger to be known as a Street and Water
Commissioner, who shall perform all the
duties and be vested with all the powers
of the Board of Street and Water Com
missioners His salary is to be 5000 a
year and his term two years.
The bill, while intended to affect only
Jersey city, is applicable to all first-class
must consequently be adopted by city
before becoming operative.
Another important bill signed was As
semblyman Bachelors. abolishing man
datory appropriations in first class cities
and making the Common Council the sole
Judge of what expenditures shall be made
for city purposes. An exception is made
in the case of free public libraries, where
the mandatory appropriation may still be
enforced.
The bill passed the Legislature only af-
ter hard fight, and it was 50 amended
in the closing hours of the session that
it is believed 1t will exempt Newark and
Jersey city from the provisions OF the
Mckee general school act as far as re-
lates to the appointment Of q board of
estimate.
Ii This be true. and 1t is the belief of
wen informed Newark lawyers that such
is the case, 1t will prove coup d'etat
which the advocates of the school bill lii
lie dreamed Of. The amendment was

New Mining Company.

The Amador and Calaveras Reduc.
tiOn and Mining Company was incor-
porated to-day with the capital stock
fixed at 5000, 600, divided into shares of
81 each. The stockholders, who also
constitute the board of directors for
the first year, are T. A. Nelson, E. H.
Cary, F. H. Cordway, N. w. Mahaffey
and John Marshall. All are residents
of this city except Mr.. Cordway, who
lives in Lodi. Each has five shares of
the stock.
This is the outcome of the expert
ments recently made with the West
process of reducing sulphurets and
base gold ores in this county. 1t was
stated by the promoters when in Jack
son that they intended to incorporate,
and efforts were made to secure SUBJ
scriptions to stock at that time. The
experiments here were altogether too
crude and unsatisfactory to inspire
confidence in investors. We hope the
company will go to work and demon
strate the practical character of their
process, for there is no question that
If they do what they claim, it is one of
most important steps made in mining

PINE GROVE.

With abundant and seasonable rains,
everything is looking fine in the vege-
table kingdom.
Miss Maude Griffin has returned
home, after an extended visit with re,a-
tives near San Jose.
Cranmer Bros. struck rich body OF
ore last week. They milled four tons,
which yielded fifty dollars per ton.
Rev. Geo. Beattie returned home last
Friday night from San Francisco. He
says be was attending strictly to bust
ness; that he is sorry he has disap-
pointed the people OF Pine Grove, but
he intends making another trip about
the 4th of July and it is probable that
he will spend the 4th there, and it is
possible that we will not look in vain
for the home coming next time.
Ten cent pieces of 1894 are worth
about 81 up this way. Gus Grillo is
paying that much premium for them,
and he has made several purchases on
that basis. PINE GRovITE.

MINING.

A piece of ore taken from the tunnel
which is being run to tap the ore body
in the Horn mine, in Pioneer district,
was left with F. F. Thomas of the Gwin
mine for assay, with the result that it
yielded at the rate of over $500 to the
ton. Something over $50 feet has to
be run in order to reach the vein in the
Horn mine. 1t is known to be there,
as rock of high grade was being taken
from the shaft until the water became
too strong to be handled without ex-
pensive machinery. George w. Horn,
who is personally experimenting the
operations, expects to tap the vein in
three months. 1t will open up the
ledge over 100 feet below the bottom
of the shaft.
George 1. Wright was down from
the Del Monte mine in Calaveras county
this week. He reports that all the
machinery for the air compressor is
now on the ground, the misunderstand-
ing with the teamster having been sat-
isfactorily adjusted. The machinery
is being put in position as speedily as
possible, and in few days the tunnel
operations will be pushed ahead at a
much faster gait than heretofore with
hand drilling. The company is having
two wagons made at Garbarini's ma
chine shop. One is spring wagon for
travelling purposes, the other two
horse wagon for hauling supplies for
the works.
SARGENT-The Sargent Gold Min
ing Company has been incorporated by

BAY STATE The creditors of the
Bay State Mining Company have given
an extension of time for the Rhetta
Mining Company to purchase the prop
erty. The sum of S11OO is TO be paid
by May 1st, the balance of the pur-
chase price amounting to sl2,7OO is to
be paid in two years, including the sum
of $500 to be paid monthly.

A Suspicious Affair.

Wilford Dennis, agent for Wells
Fargo in Jackson, had an experience
during Wednesday night that has
caused him considerable reflection
Wednesday evening a large sum ol
money was received by express to meet
pay day at one of the mines. The coin
was placed in the safe, and at the usual
hour Dennis retired to his home on the
Hamilton tract. About half past one
O'Clock he was awakened by the furi-
Gus barking of little dog which he
keeps inside the house at nights. He
could tell by the manner of the animal
that something unusual was on foot.
Hastily dressing he went to the door,
when he was addressed by man in the
street, whose features he could not dis
tinguish, but whose voice sounded
familiar; "Wilford, for Gods sake,
come down to the office; they are try
ing to rob it; they have smashed in the
front door. Constable Kay is there
uOW OH D6uu urSG lIQ-
pulse was to rush to town as requested.
The mans voice was heard also by
nelghbors. A young lady in D. A.
PattersOn's house across tho street,
looked out of the window on the floor.
and saw the outline of two men, who
were evidently acting in concert. After
the first call, the stranger appeared in
clined to walk off, whereupon Dennis
shouted to him not to leave, but to wait
for him; that he did not want to 90
alone. Mrs. Dennis told her husband
that there was something wrong
and urged him not to GO. She was sat
isfied it was part of plot. His resi-
dence is provided with telephone,
and he thought that constable Kay
also had telephone at his residence.
So he called up the constable, and
asked him about the matter. The Of
ficer answered at once that he was at
home, and that it was the first intima-
tion he had received of any attempt to
rob the Office. This settled it. Den
mis- did not go to the Office, but officers
did, and reported everything was the
same as usual. Dennis believes it was
a deep laid plot to get him to 90 to
town alone, and by threats against his
life compel him to open the safe to be
plundered by the schemers. That he
escaped the trap is due solely to the
entreaties of his wife. The treasure in
the safe amounted to something like
$40, 900.

The Lawn Tennis Club.

A meeting was held in the super
visor's room last Saturday evening to
take preliminary steps toward the Or
ganization of lawn tennis club in
Jackson. Quite a number of young
folks of both sexes were present. The
subject was discussed in all its aspects,
and the following committees were ap-
pointed with the view Of ascertaining
the probable cost of preparing the
grounds, and securing the necessary
paraphernalia for getting the affair on
an active basis:
Committee on Ground-Dr. Wilson,
U. G. Spagnoli, and R. 1. Kerr.
On Paraphernalia - Miss Hilda
Clough, Miss Edith Giles, and Miss
Lizzie Bergman.
Another meeting has been called for
the 14th instant, to receive the report
of these committees, and to take such
further action as may be deemed nec-
essary. All persons interested in the
movement are invited to attend.

VOLCANO, April s

VOLCANO, April s.
The travel to Bear river has already
commenced, although the uncertainty
of the weather for the last week will
probably make it necessary to post
pone the sending of the main force for
while, as there is some snow in the
mountains.
L. II. Cook went up with load of
provisions to Wiley's station few
days ago, so as to be ready to accom-
modate the travelling public.
Placer mining is now in full swing in
this neighborhood. Parties working
on the tunnel company's ground ex-
pect to make very satisfactory clean
up.
A good deal oi prospecting is being
done by the company operating at
Rancheria. The result seems to be
fairly good, though the mill is not
quite in good running order. Opera
tions on the French gravel claim have
been suspended for a while, but will
probably be resumed again this sum-
mer.
Mr.. F. Clute, landlord of the hotel,
is just recovering from serious illness.
There has been good deal of sickness
in this neighborhood during the win
ter. DR.. Roberts has quite an extern
sive practice and seems to be very sue
cessful.

agement OF John F. Clute, will give a
great entertainment and dance April
10Th. A good vaudeville program has
been prepared, in which the vocal and
dramatic talent of the town will show
to its best advantage. The boys hope
to see as many of their friends as pos
sible, and guarantee them an enjoy
able evening.

THE MAcouARRIE CASE.
The Information Filed Against Accused.

On the Sth instant the district at
torney filed the Information in the
superior court against N. A. Mac
quarrie. The charge in the informa-
ton is in substantially the same lam
guage as the complaint in the justice S
court, with the following additional
paragraphs:
And the district attorney doth fur
ther charge that the said N. A. Mac
quarrie, by and under the name of M
A. Marquarrie, before the commission
of the offense charged in the informa-
tion, was in the police court No. one in
and for the city and county of San
Francisco, convicted of petit larceny,
and the judgment Of said court against
said defendant on said conviction was
pronounced and rendered on the 26th
day OF July, 1887, and bears said last
mentioned date, and said Judgment has
never been reversed, annulled nor set
aside.
And the said district attorney doth
further charge that the said N. A..
Macquarrie, by and under the name of
M. A. Marquarrie, before the COM
mission of the offense charged in this
information, was in the police court
No. one of San Francisco convicted of
a petit larceny, and the judgment of
said court against said defendant on
said day conviction was pronounced
and rendered on the 26th day of July,
1887, and bears said last mentioned
date, and said Judgment has never
been reversed, annulled nor set aside.

Health Officers Report.

County Health Officer Gall reported
to the Board OF Supervisors that there
remains two cases of smallpox in Anna
dor City, five cases of scarlet fever in
Plymouth, one case of scarlet fever in
lone. In Sutter Creek ten cases oil
smallpox were reported at the last
meeting. eight cases have been quar-
antined since, fifteen released from
quarantine, leaving three cases still
under quarantine.
The health officer further reports:
"We have been able to cOnfine the cpl
demic of smallpox to Sutter Creek and
Amador and vicinity, and in a very
short time the epidemic there will be
at an end. The five cases of scarlet
fever at Plymouth and one at lone are
doing well. The epidemic of measles
has been wiped out.

Attached.

W. S. Gilbert the dry goods and
notion dealer of this town, was attached
Tuesday for debt of about $153 due
to Trist & Co. of San Francisco. H.
Larsen was placed in charge as keeper,
and the store has remained closed ever
since. Mr.. Gilbert and family moved
out of the store building, under the
Dispatch office, on Thursday, and are
now living in one of A. G. Brown IS
houses on Water street. 1t is not
probable that he will resume the store
business. There are other creditors in
San Francisco and elsewhere. his total
liabilities being estimated in the neigh
borhood of $1,000.

Bill for Surgical Fees.

Drs. Adams and Frary of lone at
tended the man, Pete Lavella, who was
run over by the cars at the depot last
month. There seems to be some mis-
understanding on the question of re-
sponsibility for the surgical treatment
rendered. The case was an urgent
one, and demanded prompt aid. The
doctors above named amputated both
legs. The patient died after the opera
ton was performed. The nature of his
injuries were such that there was little
hope of saving his life. The man was
not railroad employe. In fact he was
trying to beat the company when the
mortal injuries were inflicted. Natur-
ally the railroad company disclaims all
liability for surgeons fees. It seems
the constable of lone got the doctors
to attend the case, and had some talk
with the district attorney about it.
The doctors put in u bill against the
county for $3.50 for their services,
which was at first rejected, but after
wards reconsidered, and will be
brought up at the next meeting of the
board. The doctors interested were
present, and at their request the mat
ter was postponed so as to enable them
to substantiate their view of the mat
ter. The district attorney says he
made no statement whatever that could
be construed into authorizing a claim
against the county in this matter. The
principle is an important one. To ad-,
nit that in any case of accident where
the patient is unable to pay for surgi-
cal attention, the attending physician
may fall back upon the county, would
certainly prove hard blow for the
county treasury.

Charged With conoealiug Estate.

Some months ago, David Gutmann,
who had been an active mining operator
in Amador and Calaveras counties died,
leaving his affairs very unsettled
Though he had handled propositions
involving millions of dollars, his estate
as returned by his widow, who acted as
executrix, showed only valuation ol
$3.50.
Among other ventures of the active
life of Mr.. Gutmann, were the deals
connected with the Ford and Sheep
Ranch mines in Calaveras county. In
the latter w. Fl. Clary now of
Stockton, was involved, and he has "a
claim against the estate for $50, 900,
which he is now trying to euforce.
Last week he secured an order from
Judge Troutt's Court in San francisco,
citing the widow to appear on April
4th, and show the condition of the
estate. Clary AYERS in his petition
that the widow has secreted a portion
OF the estate for the purpose of de-
frauding the creditors. He further
claims that she deliberately concealed
all knowledge she had of $3.50, 900 re-
ceived from certain mining stock, pro-
missory notes, to the value of $4,000,
and certain valuable real estate.
