ABOUT THE NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Egbert w. Jones, the state auditor
of Idaho, IN letter to the Anaconda
Standard, tells some interesting facts
concerning Thunder Mountain, the
new mining district of his state.
| Mr. Jones has no intention of dis
couraging any one from seeking his
fortune in the new fields, but he sug
gests delay to those who contemplate
going into the district before spring
He says:
.'People are commencing to flock
into the various neighboring points
from which they expect to 60 righ'
into Thunder Mountain, but of course
they are sure to be held up at these
places. They will not be able to ge

Civil Service Examinations.

The U. S. civil service commission
will hold examinations, during Septem-
ber and October, in several places in
each state to secure young men and
women for the government service.
There are 1885, 423 positions in the
classified civil service, being an increase
of 46, 736 in six years. There were
1872 persons appointed between July
1, 1901, and April Is, 1902, being at the
rate of 10,070 for the year. There will
probably be 11,0OO appointments next
year. Salaries at appointment vary
from $500 to 81, 200 a year with liberal
promotions afterward. All appoint
ments are for life, and for most posi- :
tions only common school education
is required. Politics or religion is not
considered. Those desiring to take
examinations of this kind can get full
information about them free by writ
ing to the Columbian Correspondence
College, Washington, D. c., and ask

Fell Down Shaft.

Pete Senney, commonly known as
French Pete, met with serious acei.
dent in the east shaft of the Kennedy
on Tuesday afternoon. He is car
penter, and went to work for the Ken
nedy Company only the day before the
accident. He was employed on the
surface principally. Something, how
ever, needed fixing about the tank at
the 2500 level. which required the SER
vices of carpenter, and he was de-
tailed to assist in making the repairs.
1t was his first experience in mining
shaft. He either missed his footing or
slipped, with the result that he fell
from the tank to the platform below, a
distance of 10 or IL feet. The opening
into the sump occupied the center OF
the shaft, but he fortunately missed
falling into that. His fellow work
got him out as soon as possible, and he
was brought to town, to Chinu's lodg-
ing house DR.. Endicott was called,
and found that portion of the collar
bone was broken, with number of
injuries. 1t is thought that
it will be six or eight weeks before he
will be able to go to work again.

A Christening.

On the 7th of this month a very in
teresting christening ceremony took
place at the Catholic church in Vol

raine Beatrixa, the baby daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Zappettini. Mr..
zappettini. who is employed at the San
Francisco agency of Jno. F. Fugazi &
Co., of the French line of mail steam.

zera, while the Rev. Father Gleeson
performed the ceremony. A sump-
tuous dinner was spread at the Zap
pettini residence afterward, at which a
number OF FRIENDS sat down, among
them being Father Gleeson, 2. Jonas,
Miss Clorinda Cassinelli, Mrs. Cassi-
nelli, Charles Cassinelli and others. 1t
was very pleasant gathering, and the
health OF little Lorraine was the theme
of the toasts by one and all. The fam
lily of Mr.. Zappettini is compelled from
health considerations to live away from
the city, the climate of Volcano during
the summer seems to be particularly
favorable to them.

THE EAST BELT.
+ Communicated I

j
Considerab . activity is being mani
tested on the east mining belt in ANA
dor county. and quite a number of
mines are doing development work,
some of which are new discoveries. and
others that were idle for long time,
in need of money to continue. AL
though this section is thinly populated
local capital has played a most import
ant part in what improvements are
already made. The principal element
of success in quartz mining is capital,
and enough of it, and the places on the
Pacific coast are extremely rare where
such vast bodies of ore containing
values rich enough to pay handsome
dividends on reasonable amount of cap
ital judiciously expended, exist as are
here. First-olass gilt edge prospects
are to be found here where the owners
have not the knowledge or the means
to attract the attention of capital need
ed for the development aud machinery
to put the properties on q paying basis,
which is mainly responsible for the
suspicion entertained by capitalists not
informed on the mining industry.
There is quite number of so-called
"wild cat propositions" that in justice
to original owners should be credited
to poor financiering and not to worth
less properties. Capital flor want of
organized efforN has been allowed to
pass our door in steady stream to
other portions of the east belt in Tuol-
umne county, and in the last few years
numerous dividend paying mines have.
been developed, notably the Black
Oak, Soulsby, Confidence, Con. Eure-
ka, Grizzly, Providence. New Era,
LOngfellow. etc. D.F.

A New Survey,

The Standard Electric Company
started crew of six men to work last
Monday to survey new power line
from the plant at Electra to Sutter
Creek. The surveying part is under
the direction of Mr.. Gould, thorough
and experienced surveyor. 1t is ex-
pected that the survey for this line,
which is fully eight miles in length,
will occupy from five to six weeks. At
least three routes will be surveyed,
and from these the final selection will
be made by the directors. We under
stand the line is to be as straight and
short as possible. The object of erect
ing the new line we are unable to ex-
plain. The old line has been con-
demned for some reason, probably
owing to the fact that it carries so
many wires. and hence more liable to
accident. The telephone wires are
strung along the same poles, and this
practice is found very unsatisfactory.
1t is probable that the new power line
is intended to remedy the evils of such
multiplicity wires.

THE EMsLIE ROAD CASE.
to the Jury-A Costly Piece of
Litigation.

The suit brought by Amador county
against Fayette Mace, to condemn GER
tain portions of land owned by +. Mace
in Pioneer school district, which were
needed for private road by Eric w.
Emslie, came to a termination last
Friday. The trial occupied the court
from Monday morning until Friday
evening. The matter has been before
the supervisors and courts for over
five years. The road viewers appoint
ed by the supervisors to survey and re-
port upon the question of damages, al
lowed in their report $3.50 to Mace as
compensation for the damage that
would accrue by reason of the proposed
road. Mace refused to accept this
award. Hence the matter was taken
into court by the county to have the
amount of damages assessed by jury.
There was such divergence between
the amount offered by the county and
the sum which the nonconsenting land
that there was no hope of compromise
The trial lasted five days, with twelve
jurors at 81 per day and mileage official
reporter at $40 per day, and host of
witnesses at the same per diem and
mileage as the jurors. The costs will
therefore approximate $500. The
award of the jury is $40 less than the
sum offered Mace in the first place.
The costs will therefore be thrown upon
the defendant. 1t is reputed that the
case will be taken to the supreme court
on appeal. The special issues submitted
to the jury and the verdict of the jury
thereon we're as follows:
1st. On the 18th day of August,
1901, what was the value of the prop
erty of defendant, Fayette Mace, sit
uated aud embraced in the strip of land
sought to be condemned for the pur-
pose of road? Answer, $110.
I'd. What damages will accrue to
the portion of defendants land not
sought to be condemned by reason of
its severance from the portion sought
to be condemned, and by reason of the
proposed road? Answer None.
Sd. Win any of the lands of defend
ant be benefited by the construction
of the proposed road. and if so, how
much? Answer, No.
4th. What will be the damages to
defendant, Fayette Mace's' easement if
the road petitioned for Is opened?
Answer, None.

The Fourth at Jackson.

After several efforts had been made
to awaken an interest in fourth of
July celebration in Jackson, a small
home affair has finally been arranged
in honor of Independence day. H. c..
Lester, H. E. Kay and F. a. VOORHEES,
went around as soliciting committee
during the week, and secured contri-
buttons aggregating something over
800. A movement was talked of that
canvass, costing from $l20 to $40
was to be purchased as town piece of
furniture, to be used free whenever
needed for celebration by the citizens
of Jackson, and TO be rented out to
other organizations. The editor of the
Ledger holds the sum of S42-the bal
ance left over from the celebration last
year. This money is available for
strictly celebration purposes, and will
not be used with his consent for any
other object whatever.

PLYMOUTH.

PLYMOUTH, June 25. "A birthday
party was given in honor of Miss
Ethel Potter at her home last evening.
About fourteen attended, and all en-
joyed themselves. Ice cream and cake
were served as refreshments.
Miss Emma PeytOn is the guest of
Mrs. Lee Clark.
Mr.. w. II. Greenhalgh of Jackson,
is here conducting the graduating
examination, there being about %
applicants.
A dime social was held in the M. E.
church last Friday, the proceeds being
for the pastor and Sunday school. The
attendance was good.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson of Oleta visited
the Weston family last Sunday.
Our quiet town was startled last
Monday by the alarm of fire. About
9 O'Clock in the morning the fire was
discovered. 1t had started in the rear
of Dabovich's, and ran along the fence
which surrounded the old slaughter
corral, igniting the grass within. Most
of the pasturage was burned, but no
other damage was done as our skilled
firemen soon had it under control. The
men had all returned to the hay fields
and mines, where they were employed,
when in the afternoon the alarm of fire
was again heard, and all rushing to the
spot found the Felker residence in
flames. 1t was caused by the stove
pipe separating. Although every one
worked very hard the flames could not
be extinguished, and the building was
burned to the ground. Their adjoin-
ing blacksmith shop was also burned.
Very few things were saved from the
house, but quite a number of tools
we're carried out of the blacksmith
shop.
After the fire as the men were re-
turning to- their homes or were haul
ing the hose cart to its place, some
of our most prominent men began
a water fight. All were having good
time when A. L. Waite, our liveryman,
was suddenly knocked down, thereby
breaking his shoulder, one or two ribs,
and cracking the collar bone. He will
be confined to his bed for some time.
Last week Miss Matilda Kronning
who was quite i'll in Sacramento at the
hospital, departed life. She was AZ
years, 2 months and IA days of age,
leaving a mother and one brother.
The remains were buried here last
Friday, Rev. Jaggers officiating. The
bereaved ones have the sympathy
of all.
The Rebekahs have elected the fol-
lowing officers to be installed next
month: Noble Grand, Laura Dugan;
Vice Grand, Mabel Gerrans.
John Dohman has returned from
Jackson.
Henry Allen, who has been here as
photographer, leaves tomorrow for
other parts. "OMEGo."
