To the Hon. Board OF Supervisors,
Amador county, Cal. 1 respectfully re-
port as follows:

the desks, floors, and other wood work
washed with an anti septic solution.
Also fumigated the residences where
cases of smallpox had been, and the
patients had recovered previous to my

gated, and the residences where the

Proposed New M. E. Church.

A meeting was held in the M. E.
church last Friday evening to consider
the proposition of erecting new M.
E. church in Jackson. The present
structure has done service for over 80
years. 1t is sadly out of repair. The
sills and supports have rotted badly,
and the ringing of the bell causes jar
throughout the building. The meet
ing was attended by the prominent
men of the church, and the present
pastor, Rev. G. II. Van Vliet, and the
former pastor, Rev. F. A. Morrow. 1t
was contended that it would cost at
least $500 to repair the present build
ing, and to attempt to move it to site
adjoining would be apt to rack it so as
to involve much greater cost. The
question of building of wood or brick
was also considered. A brick church
would cost over $1,000, and it was said
that a contribution of $1,000 wa;
promised from one citizen if such 6
course was decided upon. 1t would
not be necessary to raise al. the money
at once, for one half the amount nigh
be borrowed at low rate of interest
The sentiment was favorable to the
more substantial structure, but W.
understand no definite conclusion wa
arrived at as to whether the building
shall be of brick or stone. Designs hav,
been sent for from Philadelphia.

Off to Coolgardie.

William Pollard, who has been fore
man at the South Eureka for several
years, resigned his position last month
for the purpose of acceptinga position
in Coolgardie, Western Australia. W.
A. Prichard, who was superintendent
of the Keystone, went to that country
some months ago, and has charge of a
group of mines owned by an English
syndicate. He has cabled to Mr.. Pol
lard, offering him a liberal salary as
assistant manager. That gentleman
has decided to accept the offer, the
company paying his expenses to his
destination. He expects to leave by
the next steamer OF the Oceanic line,
and proceed to Sydney. from there to
Melbourne, Adelaide and thence to
Perth, total distance OF nearly IL, 900
miles by water. Mr.. Pollard's family
will remain in Amador county for a
while. If he likes the country he will
send for them later on. MIR. Pollard
is an expert miner, thoroughly posted
in all the details OF mine management,
and wherever he has been employed
he has retained the utmost confidence
of his employers. His many friends in
Amador wish him success in his new
and distant field of labor.

A Departed Pioneer.

W. r. Williams, another old-timer,
well known throughout Amador coun-
ty, died near Clements last Monday,
after long illness, at the advanced
age of n. He was a native of North
Wales, and brickmason by trade.
He was better known, however, as a
sheep and stockraiser, and for many
years drove his stock annually in the
summer season from his range on the
borders of San Joaquin county,
through Amador county to his noun
tain range in the neighborhood OF
Woodfords. He accumulated snug
fortune at one time, but sold his
stock and land shortly before his death
for about $4,000. In early days he
worked at his trade in Jackson. He
did the mason work of the present
National hotel, and assisted in several
other brick structures around town
He was bachelor, and leaves no rela.
tives in this State except a nephew
who attended him in his last illness
He leaves brother in the east.

Collision and Runaway.

AS w. Roberts and his brother were
driving in cart toward Jackson Gate
last Saturday night they met with a
serious accident. The night was dark,
and after leaving Main street, team
was heard coming from the opposite
direction. 1t proved to be A. B.
Caminetti's cart, and the two ve-
hicles came together with a crash.
Roberts cart was badly wrecked, and
the occupants thrown out. w. Rob-
erts' injuries were such that doctor
had to be called, whom it was found that
he had sustained a fracture of the right
arm, the elbow cap being broken. He
will be disabled from work for several
weeks. His brother escaped unhurt.
Caminetti's cart was driven by Serafino
Boro, who says he was proceeding at
an ordinary pace, and trieh to avoid
an accident. H. Cramer, the ins ur-
ance agent, was with him in the cart
at the time, and both escaped with
few bruises. After this mishap, and
while those involved in it were doing
what they could for each other, Cami
netti's horse ran away, and collided
with cart belonging to A. Picardo
which was standing on Main street
Both carts were sadly demoralized by
the encounter. Two suits for dam
ages have been started as the outcom,
of these miXups.

Note Was Not Paid.

The suit of James Toman and his
wife, Eliza j. Toman, against G. w.
Randall and DR.. J. w. Keeney for pay
ment of note for $4,000, has been SUBJ
mitted to Judge Sloss for decision.
The Tomans owned land in Amador
county, and in May, 1900, they gave
the East Central Eureka Mining Com
pany the right to sink shafts on it for
$50, 900, which sum was to have been
paid in installments. A payment of
$4,000 was to have been madein Novem-
Der, 1900, but the company did not
have the money ready, and Randall,
the principal stockholder, gave note,
signed by himself and DR.. Keeney,
another stockholder. They testified
that the note was to have been paid
only when the property was sold for
mining purposes, and Randall said that
he was on the point of effecting a sale
several times. Toman denied that
there was such an understanding. AS
he was not paid the promised amounts
he ended the agreement with the com
pany and took the land again.-S. F
Chronicle.

MINING NEWS.

KENNEDY.-V. S. Garbarini has
been working, for several weeks past,
on the plans for the new hoisting works
to be erected over the east shaft. This
hoist will be the finest ever erected in
this county. 1t will be of 100 horse
power, and capable of going 5000 feet
deep. Five ton skips are talked of,
considerably larger than any at present
operated in the county, and will run at
a much faster gait. The Oneida hoists
4 tons per skip. The hoist will prob
ably be started as soon as the plans
are completed and approved. It is
likely that the work will be done by
day labor, with v. S. Garbarini in
charge. The new go stamp mill is also
sure go. These works will make things
hum about the Kennedy fiat this
summer.
ZEILA.-The mill was started up
again after an idleness of two months,
last Monday. A large force of miners
were put to work Monday and Tues
day, and everything points to long
period of steady activity for this old
reliable mine, which has done, and is
still doing, more for the prosperity of
Jackson than any bullion producer in
this district.
GwIN.-This mine increased its divi-
dend last month, paying $4,000, in
stead of s5, OOO, as reported. 1t is ex-
pected to pay a like dividend this
month.
MOORE. long-drawn-outl litiga-
ton over this mine has at last been de-
cided. The supreme court has rem
dered its Judgment sustaining the de-
cision of Judge Gottschalk of Calaveras
county in the consolidated actions of
Moore Mining Company VS.. Nevills,
and Nevills VS.. Williams. We have
not seen the decision, but we are told
it is against Nevills. The case has been
pending for six years. When the legal
tangles are all unraveled, there is a
probability that this promising prop
erty, located two miles south of jack
sou, will be started up.

Increasing Dental Practice.

P. G. Erhardt, D. D. S., who for
some time has been demonstrator of
operative dentistry in the dental de-
partment of the University of Cali
fornia, arrived in Jackson Sunday
evening to assist DR.. G. A. Herrick in
his dental practice. DR.. Herrick hav-
ing now leased the entire right suite of
the Kay building, furnishing the same
with all of the modern improvements
necessary in dental surgery, is pre-

A VALUABLE PROPERTY SOLD.
The Douet Ranch Changes Hands.

Andre Douet sold his ranch and vine
yard property near Clinton last Mon
day to Jean Lentilliar, of San Fran
cisco. 1t was cssh transaction, the
purchase price named in the deed being
$4,000; Mrs. Boyrie, formerly of Clinton,
loaning $4,000 of the amount, and TAX
ing the property as security. The
purchaser is young man, with wife
and one child, and he has purchased it
with the intention of attending to the
ranch himself and making it his home.
He has plenty of energy, and under
stands the wine business thoroughly.
Besides, he is contemplating making
many extensive improvements. The
completion of the Tabeaud reservoir,
it is thought, will make the place a
favorite resort for pleasure seekers,
picnic parties, and so forth. To this
end he proposes to make an artificial
lake and stock it with various kinds of
fish; also to build a road or lane so that
visitors to the big reservoir will find it
the best and most convenient way of
approach. The vineyard under Mr..
Douet's management has for years
held the pre-eminent place among the
orchards Of Amador county. He
makes from the product of his vine
yard about 10, 600 gallons Of wine per
year, of such superior quality that he
has had no trouble in disposing of it at
remunerative figures. He has also
been for many years the largest dis
tiller OF grape brandy in the county;
making the spirits from the refuse of
the wine grapes.
A. Douet, the retiring proprietor, is
one of the landmarks of Amador coun-
ty. He came to the county in 1S49,
and soon after his arrival settled upon
the ranch which he has made his
home for the past fifty years. He
operated the Wildcat and Montreal
gravel mines near jackson Gate in
early days, and took out a fortune
therefrom. He also opened up gravel
claim on the Clinton ranch, which
yielded richly. In a couple of weeks
he took out $40, When the Com
stock was in its palmiest days he
opened a large warehouse at Virginia
City and did handsomely. He was
caught in the stock maelstrom, and
invested in Virginia Consolidated and
other leading stocks. When the drop
came he lost his entire fortune,
amounting to ssS, 600. and found him
self heavily in debt besides. Nothing
daunted, he returned to his Amador
ranch, and started anew. Every
creditor was paid dollar for dollar.
He soon got on his feet again. His
vineyard has proved a safer standby
than the stock market.
For the last few years he has been
troubled with an affection of the limbs,
which has compelled him at intervals
to surrender the cares Of business to
others. He is now IS years Of age, and
has remained bachelor all his life.
Having sufficient means to support
himself comfortably, he decided to sell
his ranch and retire from active bust
ness. He cannot think of leaving
Amador county, however. His friends
are here, and he would not feel a,
home anywhere else, He intends tC
make his home in jackson.

Q. P. VlClN1.
Commmittee JAS. JAY WRIGHT,
RICH A RD WEIR

The report was approved; also re-
ports submitted by members of the
executive committee, and the report of
Ross Morgan to that committee were
read.
1t was stated by the chairman that L.
Martell and G. Froelich claimed an inter-
est in the new pipe laid on their premises.
1t seems that Mr.. Martell had line of
1000 feet of Pinch pipe laid from the
Argouaut mine, and Mr.. Froelich had
500 feet of pipe already laid from Mar
tells to his place. When the sprinkling
committee took charge, they decided,
in order to secure better supply of
water, to take up this old pipe and put
new and larger pipe in its place, relay
ing the old pipe,at the outlet end of the
line. Consequently Martell and Froelich
naturally claimed the new pipe, to the
extent above stated, as their property,
and whatever disposition might be
made of the other portion of the line,
that portion within their territory
could not be disposed of. The correct
ness of this position was not disputed.
1t was also stated that the UNDER
standing, when the county donated
$1,000 to the sprinkling fund, was that
the citizens we're to provide the plant,
and bear the cost of sprinkling for the
first season, and after that the plant,
free of debt presumably, should revert
to the county.
The knotty question of disposing of
the indebtedness was next tackled.
After some desultory talk, Jas. Jay
Wright suggested that the county
might assume the Indebtedness created
by the oil experiment, amounting to
over $500, and moved that committee
be appointed to present the matter to
the board at its next meeting. The
motion was carried. The chairman
named several to act on the committee,
but all declined the honor, except
Judge Rust.
A motion was then made. assuming
that the county would accept the re
sponsibility for the amount due on the
oil treatment, that committee be ap-
pointed in each township concerned to
solicit subscriptions for the balance OF
the Indebtedness, amounting to less
than $500, the claim of Ross Morgan
having been first rejected. This was
carried by rising vote.
There was some opposition to thi:
plan, as it was thought, after givin G
over $4,000 toward this object within
the past year, it was hardly right tt
call upon the people to contribute
more. In the opinion of some present
it was deemed the better plan to ge
out of the whole business by disposinG
of the plant for whatever it woult
bring, and paying off the debt with
the proceeds, turning over any balance
that might remain to the county.
However, the meeting determined tt
try another subscription list. The lis
was opened for subscriptions at once
Mr.. Raggio started the ball with do
nation of S75, to be divided in thre,
sums of S25 each to each of the town
ships, one, two and four. Othel
amounts were subscribed, bringing VI
the total to about $3.50.
The soliciting committee has no
been named so far.
The meeting then adjourned to NEE
at the call of the chair.
