Petition for Opening Of a Lane.

The following petition has been fled
with the board of supervisors, and will
be acted upon at next meeting:
Whereas a certain public street or
lane in the townsite of jackson proper
ly laid down and marked upon the Of
fetal map of said townsite and more
particularly described as follows: Be-
ginning on the west side of the street
or highway known as Sutter road and
running thence southwesterly between
the lots numbered "a and 81 and thence
southerly between the lots numbered
80 on the west aud lots "a, %, 81, 80,
and SO, on the east in block numbered
10 of said tOwnsite, as shown on the
plat annexed to petition, Is at certain
points entirely closed, making it i'm
possible for the public to travel said
street or lane, either with vehicles or
on foot.
Now therefore, we the undersigned
residents of jackson, respectfully ask
your honorable board to open or cause
street or lane to be opened to it's full
width and length, at as early date as
practicable. Signed by Is residents
and property holders.
The street in question runs from a
point on Main street near Lemin's sa-
loon, crossing the north fork of Jackson
creek, and thence on the west bank of
the creek, finally connecting with
Vogan street, running by the west side
of the National hotel. The northern
portion of this alleged public road has
been fenced and closed for many years.
1t is expected that the petition for the
removal of the Instructions will
awaken considerable opposition, and
may possibly lead to a contest in the
courts.

School Picnic at Plymouth.

The pretty little valley in which the
Slate Creek schoolhouse is located was
enlivened by the presence OF several
hundred people on Saturday, May 2.
The occasion being picnic under the
auspices of the Slate Creek, Spring
Valley and Willow Springs schools.
The teachers of the respective districts,
Miss Mamie Wheeler, Miss Laura N.
Maybury and Miss Mabel Wheeler,
spared no pains to make the affair a
success, and to say they succeeded is
putting it mild. Nature has been kind
to many portions of Amador county,
and particularly so to the country ad-
lacent to scenes of Saturdays festivi-
ties; thus making it an ideal place to
hold picnic. The grounds are gener-
ously supplied with oak trees, large
and small, the grass fresh and green,
and with the groups of prettily dressed
women and children scattered pro-
miscuously about in the full enjoyment
OF health and happiness, could any,
thing more beautiful be imagined?
The days entertainment began at
10 a. m. with appropriate exercises,
which were held in front of the school
house, the same being handsomely
decorated with American flags, also
ferns and flowers gathered from the
woods. The following program was
rendered to an appreciative audience.
and lasted until high noon:
Chorus-''Hail smiling morn, "choir.
Opening address-Jabe MINIS.
Chorus-'Come away" schools.
Recitation = "The picket guard, +"
Robert Brown.
Duet-'Come merry birds ofspring,"
Myrtle Colburn and Celia MINIS.
Dialogue-"The 2:4O train" Slate
Creek pupils.
Chorus-"Come rise with the lark -
choir.
Recitation-"Where is nv kittv.u
Della Brown.
Cornet solo - ''Love's dreamland
waltzes, F. A. Ball.
Recitation-''The Dutchman,s first
experience with the ague," Albert
Grelich.
Chorus-''Hunter's CALL" choir.
Recitation =" Great men, - Elbert
Colburn.
Recitation and song-Mrs. B. A.
Downey.
Flag drill and chorus-Slate Greek
pupils.
Song" America, :" schools and
audience.
Word was then passed, lone hour
for lunch. and of all the good things
to eat none were missing at this time.
Ii you ever attended a picnic near Ply
mouth town you could realize what
it was; otherwise it is useless to make
you comprehend. 1t would be an i'm
possibility.
The feature of the afternoon was
baseball game between the Plymouth
and pickup" nine. 1t was evident
from the start that the ''pick-ups"
were not in it. Their pitcher couldn't
find "home base," and tally after tally
was made by the other side without as
much as striking at the ball. In the
fourth inning, however, Love of Oleta
and Waddell of lone were put in as
catcher and pitcher for the ''green-
horns" Then things were different,
but it was too late to save the day and
Plymouth won by score of % to IL.
The ball game was witnessed by an
enthusiastic crowd of ''speelers," and
the Plymouth girls can "take the cake"
how they can yell. A series of races
and other games had been arranged
for the afternoon, but were not entered
into owing to the time occupied by the
ball game. Everyone was pleased with
the days outing, and much credit is
due to the young ladies who planned
the pleasures of the day.

Off For Blue Lakes.

About twenty men left this morning
for Blue Lakes. They were obliged to
go by the way of Sacramento and
Carson. From the latter place they
will go overland to their destination.
This roundabout trip is quite expensive,
but it is impossible to go via Silver
Lake on account of the deep snow in
the mountains.

A Laudable Ambition.

Miss Josephine Cassella left Jackson
Tuesday morning for San Francisco,
where she goes to pursue the trained
nurses course at the city and county
hospital. Miss Josephine is graduate
of the jackson grammar school, and
deserves much credit for the ambition
she has manifested in entering this
field of work, and it is earnestly hoped
and believed that every success will be
hers.

LOCAL MINING NEWS
Notes From Amador County Mines.
Bright Outlook Along the Line.

ZEILA.-This mine is now running
full blast. The mill is running only
thirty of its forty stamps. The
chlorination works were started up
last Friday. Fewer men are employed
underground than formerly, not merely
on account of the reduced number of
stamps in motion, but also because the
extraction of milling rock is confined at
present to about onethird of the ore
body heretofore worked. The thirty
stamps are expected to pound out as
much, if not more, gold than was OBJ
tanned from the forty stamps when a
less rigorous selection of the ore was in
vogue.
KENNEDY.-An accident happened
at this mine early Sunday morning at
the old shaft, which caused stoppage
of work for one day. The shaft carry
ing the chive broke, causing the skip
to drop several feet, but doing no
particular harm. The shafting was
taken to Knights foundry for repairs.
The men we're laid off one shift Every
thing was running again Monday
morning.
SOUTH EUREKA. the man
agement of J. Truscott, this property
is looking better than it has done for a
long time. A body of good pay rock
has been discovered on the level recent
ly opened, and the 20 stamp mill is to
be started thereon in few days. The
shareholders are in more jubilant
spirit. For ten or twelve years the mine
has been worked, costing the stock
holders some hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The prospect is now con-
sidered favorable for some return on
their investment.
BosTON.-It is reported that the
Boston mine, which is located on the
Calaveras side of the Mokelumne river,
opposite the Standard Electric Works,
will be started in the near future. A
strong company is said to be backing
the enterprise. The rock is of low
grade, but there is lots of it. There is
a small mill on the property, and this,
according to rumor, is to be augmented
to 100 stamps. With this crushing
capacity the mine has good prospect
of becoming a paying venture.
ALMA.-We are told that the deeds
for this property haye been executed.
There was, and still is, some dispute
affecting portion of the premises in
cluded within the deed. When the
ground was surveyed it was found that
the bond called for between four and
five acres for which the grantor had no
record title. There is also some con-
tention regarding a strip of land 'front.'
ing on the north fork of jackson creek,
and which was formerly used as pub
lie road. D. Mattiey, the grantor,
obligates himself to furnish title to
all the land embraced in the deeds. 1t
is reported that an effort will be made
soon to float the property. and that
foreign capitalists are expected to fur
nish the money needed to further de-
velop the ground. According to all
reports, there is fair prospect of de-
veloping paying mine. 1t is conceded
to be on the main gold bearing lode.
The regular gouge characteristic of the
lode, was encountered, and some pay
rock struck. 1t would be in line with
the fortune of mining ventures, for the
next company that takes hold to de-
velop big dividend paying property.

The garden seed sent out annually
by the department of agriculture is
supposed to be of choice varieties.
Some poor lots may creep in occasion
ally, but as whole there is no doubt
of the quality of the seed. John c.
RAIDER, who has ranch on Stony
creek, brought to our Office last Satur-
day, a sample of lettuce grown from
department seed received through the
Ledger Office last year. 1t was of i'm

moreover, as tender and palatable as it
was large. We have still considerable
seed on hand which can be had for the
asking.
At the banquet given in honor of the
grand parlor of N. S. G. w. in Bakers
field April 30, the orator of Amador
county, John F. Davis was present,

propriately given the place of last on
the program, and we have no doubt
that with such a subject in such able
hands, the banqueters repaired to their
respective lodgings as thrilled in mind
with eloquence as they were surfeited
physically with the good things pro-
vided. During the evening Senator G.

FRIARS IN THE
PHILIPPINES
Movement in Favor of the Span
ISL 8rotherhoods.
PETITIONS SENT TO ROME
LAND QUESTION Has NOT YET
BEEN SETTLED.

Rome. May There has been a
change in the Philippine islands in the
friar situation. as there is now a move
ment in the archipelago in favor Of the
members OF the Spanish brOtherhOOds.
The pride OF che Spanish friars brought
them 10 the decision voluntarily TO
leave the Islands; they felt themselves,
since the archipelago has been admin
istered by the United States, to be In a
position Of inferiority-
The vatican has Just received several
petitions from the FilipinOs, asking II
10 prevent the departure Of the friars
The apostolic delegate in the Philip
pines, Mgr Guidi, clearly demonstrated
I'm his report how matters stand He
said that on one side there was the
schism provoked by Bishop Aglipay,
which is supported by only fourteen
priests without reputation, but which
is spreading, especially in the country
districts. This movement is helped by
the dominant political party trying to
persuade the population to rebellion
against Rome and saying that the eX-
pulsion of the friars is indispensable TO
independence.
On the other side the departure Of
the frairs, who now number about 400
men. would mean the leaving of 5000
900 Catholic Filip;nOs without religious
ministratiOn, there being no other cler-
gy acquainted with the language or
habits Of the natives. The Filipino
priests who number $50. are inadequate
10 serve the parishes and missions,
which reach a total Of 967. MOnsignor
Guidi, therefore. concludes his report
in favor Of the friars remaining until
others have been substituted for them.
This substitution, however, must be
slow. as the vatican wishes the new
friars and priests to be Americans, and
the supply of such men is limited
Father Rodriguez, general Of the Au-
gustinians. who went to the United
States for the purpose Of selecting Au-
gustinian friars to go to the islands,
was able to send out only two men
because throughout the entire United
States the Augustinians number only
about eighty.
Negotiations between MOnsignOr
Guidi and Governor Taft for the pur-
chase of the fTiar lands in the islands
were begun, but they had to be sus-
pended because of the enormous diff
ference in the estimates Of the values
of the lands given by the official eX-
perts and the friars. 1t was found i'm
possible to agree in this respect with
out first establishing the true value of
the land.
