A Bad Break.

The worst break in the ditch that
has occurred this season took place on
Wednesday in the vicinity of Slaughter
house gulch. The heavy rains have
loosened the top soil, and in places
whore the canal is built with the steep
side-hill above, disastrous slides have
taken place. The company have done
their utmost to minimize the danger.
They have gone to the expense of
planking the top of the fumes for long
distances at exposed points, and also
of bracing the sides. On Wednesday
large portion of the side-hill slid,
destroying both upper and lower
bitches, and effectually shutting off the
water. The mines and mills depending
on water power were brought to a
standstill. Lights were also out We'd
nesday and Thursday nights. A strong
force of men is at work repairing the
breaks, and everything will be in run
ming order again in short time. The
company intends to guard against these
slides in the future as much as possible
by slucing off the loose dirt from the
steep banks over the line of the canal.

Death of ]. K. Sibbetts.

J.K. Sibbetts died in the county hos
pital during Wednesday night. He
was taken to that institution about two
weeks ago. He was then in the final
stages of consumption. He had been
around Jackson for several months,
struggling to earn his own living in
spite of the inroads of the dread disease,
which were only too apparent to every
one who saw him. AS long as he was
able to keep on his feet he refused to
go to the hospital, and after entering
there he was anxious that his serious
condition should not be made known
to his relatives, on account of the
anxiety it might cause them. OF
course the authorities notified relatives
in San Francisco of his illness, and a
brother came up few days thereafter
to take him home. His weak state,
however, rendered it unwise to make
the trip, and his brother left last Sun
day morning without him, hoping that
he would regain sufficient strength to
undertake the journey in short time.
But he steadily lost ground, and died
as above stated. The body was shipped
to his relatives in the city.

PINE GROVE.

An unusually interesting service was
held in the church Sunday evening,
being a representation of peace and
war. The church was filled to over
flowing with very appreciative audi
ence. At the close donations were COL
lected, aggregating S57 for building a
fence round the parsonage, and paint
ing the church.
A new church is to be built at De-
fender. The sawmill proprietor of
West Point gave 1000 feet of rustic
for this object.
Mrs. Hammond and daughter, who
have been visiting w. w. Stewart and
family, started for their home in Idaho
Monday morning.
Frank W. Soracco, who is employed
at the mill at the Mitchell mine, has
been very i'll with pneumonia. His
case is considered critical.
The Cranmer brothers are operating
a small mine, with twO-stamp mill
thereon, just below the Mitchell mine.
They purchased the mill at West
Point last summer. and have been get
ting fair results. 1t is reported that
they struck body of high grade ore
last week.
Superintendent Hyner of the Mitchell
mine has secured a twenty stamp mill,
which will be added to the present
milling capacity as soon as possible.
This will make 80 stamps in all. This
speaks we'll for the mineral outlook of
this district. Mr.. Hyner is a careful
manager, and it is safe conclusion
that the underground developments
fully justify this large increase of
stamps. The mill has been crushing
rock for Is months, with gratifying re-
suits. Improvements in the shape of
additional machinery are continual y
being made.

Run Over by the Train.

A fatal accident occurred last Satur-
day morning as the train was about to
leave the lone depot. A man named
Peter Lavella, whose home is said to
be in San Francisco, was endeavoring
to.secure ride by the cheap route
by tackling the brake beam. 1t proved
the last and cOstliest ride of his life:
the price he paid was life itself. In
trying to get on the beam while the
train was in motion he fell, and the
cars passed over both legs, mangling
them in terrible manner Surgical
aid was promptly summoned from
lone, and amputation was resorted to.
The shock was too much for the system
to withstand, and the victim died
before the operation was completed.
He had been working in the livery
stable of J. MuldoOn in lone for a
while, and report has it that he quit
and was about to come to Jackson to
seek work, but changed his mind and
concluded to go to San Francisco. He
was young man of about 25 years of
age, and was highly thought of by
those who knew him. No inquest was
held, as the case was too plainly an &C.
cident due to the victim himself. The
remains were taken to San Francisco.

Mischievous Boys.

The small boy gets in his mischievous
work not only on telephone and elec-
trio light wires, but also on the water
supply of the canal He is factor
that has to be taken into consideration
by the water company and the ditch
tenders. Some time ago one of the
largest mills in the county was brought
almost to standstill by his enterprise.
The millman finding his supply of
water reduced to almost nothing, tele-
phoned to the ditchtender to know
why he did not turn ON full supply.
The ditch man answered that the full
complement of liquid was passing
through the gate under his control
This led to an investigation, and it
was found that some meddlesome
youngsters had shut off the water by
stopping up the overflow at the gate
from the reservoir with rocks. For
years the canal company have been
compelled to have the gates regulating
the flow of water to the various mines
chained and padlocked, to insure a
steady and adequate supply. Prior to
this precaution the boys, in the
thoughtlessness and recklessness oi
youth, would tamper with the gates,
to the annoyance of the company and
loss of the mining companies. With
chain and paddock however, this
source of amusement to the small boy
is shut off.

Jackson Republican Club.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Jackson republican club was held in
Webb hall last Monday evening.
There was an attendance of between 20
and 80 members. 1t had been an
nounced that a smoker" would be
the attraction of the meeting, but at
the eleventh hour, owing to the alb
sence of several who were depended
upon to furnish entertainment for the
evening, the social part of the program
had to be postponed. The committee
appointed to make arrangements had
eXerted themselves in every way, and
the failure was owing to matters be-
yOnd their control.
A motion was therefore carried
unanimously that the smoker" be
held on Monday evening, March "a, in
the usual place of meeting.
The particular business before the
club was the selection of delegates to
attend the state convention of repub-
lican clubs to be held in San Jose on
April IA. The apportionment of dele
gates was one delegate at large for
each club, and one for every 25 men,
bers. With mem bership of 100 this
would give nine delegates for the local
club. Nominations were declared in
order.
r. Webb nominated Senator John
F. Davis as delegate at large. There
being no other nominations the Sec
retary cast the ballot of the club ac-
cordingly, and he was declared elected.
For the eight other delegates the
following were elected: DIR. A. M. Gall,
r. Webb, J. B. Francis, Neil A.
Macquarrie, B. F. Taylor, G. H. Free
man, A. c. Barrett, J. S. Garbarini.
Alternater-J. w. Caldwell for dele
gate at large, A. L. Stewart, Web
Smith, C. F. Parker, w. E. Kent,
Fred Eudey, w. M. Fuller, Rule
Parker and S. G. Spagnoli.
If any member of the club who was
not present at the meeting, would like
to attend this gathering of the repub-
lican chfeftains in the garden city, he
has only to make his wishes known to
be accommodated, as but few of those
elected will be able to attend in person,
and they would be pleased to give
place to others who would go.
A communication was received from
S. M. Shortridge, one of tie selected
orators of the coming convention, in
acknowledgement of an official letter
from the secretary of the club.

Obituary.

zachariah Stephen Kirkwood, a pio-
neer of Amador county, died at his
home, three miles south of Jackson, on
Thursday night, March 13. He has
been sufferer for many years from
kidney troubles, but until within few
days of his death, was able to get
around and attend to his business. He
was native of Ohio, aged "a years.
In his departure another well-known
landmark has been removed from our
midst. He was one of the early set
tiers, and was known by all tourists in
the mountain resorts of AmadOr and
Alpine counties as the genial host of
the Kirkwood hotel on the border of
Alpine county. For the past thirty
years or more he has conducted this
resort every summer, and established
reputation as an entertainer that
made his place famous as resort of
pleasure and recreation. He was a
man of strict integrity and honor, and
a host of friends will sincerely mourn
his death. He leaves widow and
three children-twO sons, George and
Walter, and one daughter, Alva, the
youngest OF the family, aged about 1S
years.

The New Bridge.

The new bridge spanning the Middle
fork of Jackson creek on Pitt street,
was placed in position Saturday and
Monday. AS far as a novice in such
matters can Judge it is neat and sub
stantial structure, equal in every re-
spect to bridges put up by firms who
make a speciality of such business. It
was all made in Jackson. OF course
the steel had to be imported. 1t is
from the Carnegie works at Pittsburg
The floor of the bridge was all laid by
Monday evening. Considerable work
remains to be done in the way of filling
in the approaches. Indeed the piers
and filling in are. more expensive than
the bridge proper. Eight or ten feet
had to be filed in on either side. No
travel can be had over the bridge until
this work is completed.

places.
Mr.. Spira, wife and family from
Redlands, have come to make home

The Wildman Mining Company.

On the 18th instant there was filed in
the county clerks Office certified copy
OF the articles of Incorporation and
other documents relating to the Wild
man Mining Company, operating at
Sutter Creek. The company was
organized under the laws of Maine in
1885, with a capital stock of 24,OOO
shares at $40 each, with the following
list of stockholders: 1. o. Whiting,
Boston. Mass; J. Tregloan, Alameda,
CAL; A. R. Mitchell, Newton, Mass. :;
}. F. D. Garfield, Fitchburg, Mass. !;
and W. Il. Emerson, Cambridge, Mass,
all having one share each. In Decem-
ber, 1886. the stockholders voted to
increase the number of directors from
5 to 6, and in October, 1892, stock was
reduced to 25 cents per share, and the
number of shares increased to 10000.
According to the documents filed the
product of the mine to October 13,
1892, amounted to s54, 426. 40 from mill,
and s22, 5O9.SS from the sulphurets.
The object of filing these documents
in the county where the real estate is
located, at this late date-sixteen years
after the organization of the company
is probably to meet the requirements
OF the state constitution, which de-
clares that no foreign corporation shall
do business in this state under more
favorable conditions than companies
organized under state laws, and all state
interpretations are required to file
articles of incorporation in the county
where the property is situated.

A Sad Afliction.

We have to chronicle the death of
Mrs Ellen Bailey under peculiarly sad
circumstances. She gave birth to a
child on the 9th instant. Mother and
child appeared to be getting along
nicely. On Thursday evening Mrs
Bailey was seized with severe vomit-
ing spell, and death resulted in three
hours thereafter. In the opinion of
DR.. Endicott, who attended the case,
death was caused by internal hemor-
rhage due to the rupture of blood
vessel by the strain of the vomiting
spell. The husband and other rela-
tives have the sympathy of all in their
sad affliction.

MINING NOTES.

CENTRAL EUREKA.-The addition
OF 20 stamps to the mill is making sat-
lsfactory progress, but it will be some
time yet before it is ready to start.
They have to wait for the installation
OF larger electric motor of one hun.
dred horse power-double the capacity
OF the present motor. Electric power
for the Central Eureka is found to be
more economical than water. There
is little water pressure available as the
works are located near the summit of
Sutter hill, and at 20 cents per inch
the water power runs up into money
fast. Electric energy is just as steady
and reliable as water, and will no
doubt be the motive power for all
mines started in Amador county. The
ore is being extracted from the 1000
foot level, and there is plenty of it to
keep 40-stamp mill in motion.
BUNKER HILL.-At this mine pros
pecting operations continue with little
change to report. At the 800 level
fairly good ore has been uncovered in
the bottom of the drift. How much
there is of it cannot be told from the
work that has been done. Since the
present company started work they
have expended $4,000 in development
work, besides paying $4,000 for the
property, making $780, in all.
Nearly all this money has been fur
nished by local investors.
