Discord in the lone Band.

Last Saturday morning the lone
junior band started in one of Crabtree' s
wagonettes aud four in hand for ANA
dor City, where they expected to en-
liven the air with sweet music at the
Sunday school picnic held at that place.
Frank Treason was driving, and was
proud of his team as we'll as his pas
sengers, and all went well until the
down grade of the hill at the ice plant
beyond Sutter Greek was reached. AT
this point the horses became frightened
at a passing team, and started to run.
The brake was faulty and would not
hold, and the team increased its speed,
and the now thoroughly frightened
boys realized their danger. The
horses in their mad run, struck the wire
fence to the right of the road, which
resulted in a general smash-up. The
rig was turned over, and the occupants
thrown out in all directions, but luckily
no one was seriously hurt, although
several of the boys we're considerably
bruised and scratched up. The driver,
Treason, did not fare quite so well.
His wrist was sprained, and his bruises
little more severe. The wagonette
was total wreck. 1t looked as if it
had encountered "Kansas cyclone.
None of the horses were injured. Sew
eral of the instruments belonging to
the boys were damaged beyond repair,
and they will now have to blow some
''other fellows horn" The boys all
congratulate themselves on their mirac-
ulous escape, and as Crabtree is good
natured, he doesn't care as long as the
horses were not hurt.

VOLCANO.

VOLCANO, May 27.-Mr. and Mrs.
Hinebaugh and Rose Downs paid Vol
cano flying visit last week. Mrs.
Hinebaugh and her sister Rose were
raised here, and were warmly well
coined by their many friends.
John Lebeau, who has been ill for
some time, was taken to the county
hospital last week.
Owing to the ak glancing while en-
gagged in chopping wood, Josh Good
rich had his first toe on the right foot
almost entirely cut off. Mrs. Ferry
dressed the wound, and at last accounts
he was doing nicely.
DR.. Freeman, who has located here,
was welcomed by all.
Services are being conducted in the
Catholic church by missionary priest.
Death has once more entered our
midst, summoning Mrs. Mitchell, a
dearly loved mother, wife and sister.
The end came as surprise to all, as
she was only sick from Wednesday
until Saturday morning. The many
friends that followed her to the grave
spoke louder than words the respect
and esteem in which she was held, and
her loved ones have the sincere sym
pathy of all.

LOCAL MINING NEWS
Notes From Amador County Mines.
Oneida Down 1880 Feet.

MITCHELL. - The sheriff's fore
closure sale of the Mitchell mine and
mill will be found elsewhere in this
issue. The judgments on foreclosure
of liens, aggregate less than $4,000. All
the cases were consolidated in one suit,
so the amount represents the total
amount for labor and material against
the property. 1t is surprising that a
promising mine, such as this was con-
sidered to be up to the very point of
closing down, should be sacrificed for
such small sum. According to many
who are in position to know, it is still
| held to be valuable mine. 1t is hoped
| that the outcome of the sale will be
that it will fall into the hands of parties
who are able and willing to develop it
as its prospects demand.
BoSToN.-At this property, which
lies on the Calaveras side of the Mokel-
umne river, opposite Electra, men
were put to work last week to take out
the water from the shaft, with the
view OF enabling experts to inspect the
mine in the interest o! intending
investors.
ONEIDA.-The shaft has reached a
depth of 22S0 feet. 1t is the intention
to sink 200 feet more. Sinking has
been suspended temporarily, to enable
new levels to be opened.
LANCHA PLANA.-J. L. Swass of
Watsonville has purchased the hotel
property at Lancha Plana. On June
1st he will commence to prospect the
ground, believing it to be pay dirt.
Years ago Lancha was prosperous
mining camp, and fortunes were made
in gravel mining. The property above
mentioned has never been worked, and
it is hoped that Mr.. Swass will be re-
warded for his trouble, and if success
full, mining would undoubtedly be re-
sumed, as there Is still lots of virgin
earth in that vicinity.
BUENA VISTA COAL MINE.-This
property was opened up about two
years ago. Development had been
slow and careful until the worth of the
mine was demonstrated. 1t is now
beyond the prospect stage. At a depth
of60 feet ledge eleven feet in thick
ness was found, aud covering an area
of at least forty acres. This ledge, as
all. coal lodges, lies fiat, and a casual
observer will readily recognize the i'm
mense amount of coal in sight. The
quality is above the average, and is the
cheapest fuel that can be used for
domestic or other purposes.

Baseball Last Sunday.

The best ball game that has been
played in Amador county for several
seasons was witnessed last Sunday by
an enthusiastic crowd at the DIVER
ranch south of Jackson. The Jewell
Bourbons of Jackson played the Vol
cano team. The jackson band was in
attendance, and enlivened the time
before and after the game with inter-
esting music. The sympathy of the
crowd was with the local team, but the
opposing nine were admired for their
skill and almost errorless playing. The
score was 8 to 2 in favor of the boys
from the ''apple regions" at the ending
of the eighth inning, but wild throw
in the ninth inning allowed their op-
ponents to make two runs and to win
out, the score being to in favor of
the Jewell Bourbons. Everybody en-
ioyed the sport, and all are anxious for
the return game, which will be played
in Volcano next Sunday.

Correspondence.
Editor Amador Ledger

Editor Amador LEDGER
Under date of May 18th, in the
columns of the Amador Ledger, an
article was republished from the Sac
ramento Bee that to let stand un-
refuted would be an injustice to the
people of New York Ranch district.
The teacher for the past term stated
that last December woman teacher
visited the district, and that she had
quite few intimate friends, among
them being two of the trustees. That
statement is utterly false from begin
ming to end, as said visitor was
stranger to the neighborhood. She
only applied, as did another teacher,
man, for the school, should there be a
vacancy, as it was so generally known
that there was much dissatisfaction.
AS to her other remark about there
being so much jealousy on account of
teachers, that is equally untrue, for
when the first teacher, who was en-
ployed for the term, resigned for
better position, it was with deepest re-
gret that the people were compelled to
let her go. An lone teacher also has
taught the school for two successive
terms, and could have continued as
teacher for another year had she
wished to do SO. 1t is true that Miss
Pharis would not resign, but it is only
because the trustees did not like to use
harsh measures, but could they have
forseen how she intended to keep her
promise (that she would resign any
time if not satisfactory they would
not have hesitated to do so.

Narrow Escape.

Edwin Bartle, who is employed at
the Zeila mine, had close call for his
life on Friday last. He was working
in the shaft, tryingsto land a timber.
The heavy stick struck him, causing
him to lose his balance, and he fell
down the shaft. The accident hap
pened at point 200 feet from the bot
tom. His comrades who were working
with him, naturally concluded that he
had fallen to his death, and exclaimed,
"He's gone" To their amazement,
as we'll as their great relief, the voice
of Bartle, only few feet below them,
responded, mo l amt, Pm holding
on" No time was lost in extricating
him from his perilous situation Of
"holding on" 1t seems that after
falling % feet, he instinctively grasped
the railing of the shaft, and saved him
self from destruction. He was bruised
up considerably, especially about the
back, but no bones were broken. He
was taken home, where he is being at
tended by DR.. Phillips. He expects to
be in working trim again in few days.
[Bartle returned to work Wednesday.

To Undergo An Operation.

The eleven year old son of Emanuel
Garibaldi, who was accidentally shot
in the hip about three months ago. is
still confined to his bed. The wound
was a very serious Que. The full
charge of small shot striking him at
close range, tearing away mass of the
tissue. Three wads were extracted
from the wound. OF course the process
of repair in such wound is necessarily
slow. Yesterday morning he was
taken by his friends to Stockton, DR..
Endicott accompanying him on the
journey. His condition was such that
an operation was deemed necessary at
once. The nature of the operation
could not be determined until the con-
ditions were revealed by the surgeons
knife. 1t is sincerely hoped that the
life of the sufferer will be spared with
out permanent disability.

MAGNIFICENT MOVING PICTURES
Bradshaw's wonderful moving pictures
and beautiful illustrated songs here
Tuesday night.

On Tuesday evening, June End, the
local public will be given rare treat
in the moving picture line. Prof.
Bradshaw, who has toured the United
States, visiting many of the large cities
with his wonderful exhibition, will ap-
pear at Loves hall. The exhibition
comes highly recommended, and should
attract very large audience. The
ever interesting moving pictures will
be displayed interspersed by beautiful
illustrated songs by G. W. Bradshaw,
baritone. Every picture is beautiful,
clear and distinct, life size and so life
like that you'll be astonished beyond
measure. In speaking of the enter
tainment, the Angels Camp Mountain
Echo said:
Bradshaw's moving picture enter
tainment held forth in Dolling's Hall
last Thursday evening to crowded
house. This is really the best produc-
tion of moving pictures ever exhibited
in this town. The pictures are pro-
duced in life size, clear and distinct,
and free from the fiickering that usually
accompanies the production of moving
pictures when In the hands of mex
perienced manipulators.
The pictures exhibited by Mr.. Brad
shaw are all up-tO-date, and consists of
a variety of views, all of which are in
teresting and pleasing. Seventy-four
scenes were presented during the even
ing. We have witnessed many moving
picture exhibitions in our time, but
never have We seen them presented as
perfectly as, by Mr. Bradshaw. We
heartily recommend the Bradshaw
entertainment to the public, assuring
every person who attends their money s
worth in beautiful and pleasing scenes.

Amador Apples.
BY j. Il. BARBER.

1t has long been remarked in this
vicinity that apples of remarkably fine
quality were grown, in the mountain
regions of Amador county, especially at
elevations of 5000 to 5000 feet. That
this fact has not become more gener-
ally known and been turned to good
advantage is only another illustration
OF the backward condition of this coun-
ty in matters horticultural. This,
however. cannot last forever, and
among the important horticultural re-
sources of Amador county in the future
will be the growing of winter apples of
high quality, for which there is a large,
profitable and increasing demand.
OF course, until railroad communica-
ton reaches at least as far as jackson,
only the local market will be available
to the apple-grower, but even this
might easily be much better supplied
than at present, without risk of over
crowding. Scattered through the
mountains east of here are numerous
small old apple orchards, many of them
more or less neglected, which If proper
ly handled could be made to pay hand
somely. This is amply demonstrated
by the experience of Mr.. F. M. Whit
more of Antelope mills, who every year
markets his apple crop in jackson to
very good advantage. Mr.. Whitmore
takes pride in his apples, and they are
a credit to his careful handling. Some
OF his apples, of the Green Newtown
Pippin variety, were recently sent by
the writer to the agricultural depart
ment of the University of California,
for examination by Professor -Striben-
rauch. the assistant horticulturist.
Under date of May 19, 1903, Prof.
Stribenrauch comments on them as
follows:
1.-THE apples received, and in good
condition. They show remarkably
good keeping quality, considering the
crude method of storage. Such apples
as these would command good figure
in the market at the present time.
think that the raising of winter apples
in our mountain districts is an unde-
veloped field in California, and see no
reason why it should not be taken up
in the future when transportation
facilities are improved.
These comments from one of the
foremost horticultural authorities of
the state are well worthy of notice as
indicating one of the many possibili-
ties of horticultural development in
Amador county.

Survival of the Fittest.

Eighty-one applicants were present
at the examination before the state
dental board conducted by DR.. Herrick
of Jackson in San Francisco on the 18th
inst. Six of the number were not per-
mitted to enter the contest on account
of not having the necessary credentials.
OF the remaining seventy-six, twenty
two failed, which is considered an un-
usual high per cent of failures, but
demonstrates the thoroughness of the
dental board, and proves that no
incompetent person need apply. If
this rule was applied to all trades and
professions, we would all profit by the
result.
