Communication.

Editor Ledger:-Under the caption
'"rime to call halt" a recent issue of
the Amador Dispatch contains an at
tack upon me and the music hall in
the rear of my place of business. The
writer has not the courage 10 mention
names, but resorts to Inference and
innuendo. Because, forsooth, 1 have
been trying to amuse and instruct my
patrons, free of charge, and furnish an
evenings innocent amusement to them,
this man has sought to injure my
character as well as my business.
He prates about the danger of the
youth and the young men of Jackson,
suffering morally from attending the
entertainments. He may spare his
tears, so far as my establishment is
concerned, as neither he nor any other
critic can instance any case of lewdness
or obscenity attempted in any of the
musical or other entertainments given
in my hall.
Mr.. Archer, the manager, is ac-
knowledged to be at the head of his
profession as musician and artist.
Harry Weaver, as banjoist, has few
equals and no superiors. Donovan and
Mason, Irish sketch artists, vocalists
and comedians, rank high in the vaude-
vile class. That comprises the entire
troupe, at present engaged in the
music hall, and to characterize them
as band of lepers is simply Infamous.
What has this moralist to say about
the open door gambling places of Jack
son, where young men are enticed into
ruinous and all-absOrbing game OF
chance. 1 hold. it is infinitely better
for young men to pass their evenings
in the enjoyment of innocent music and
songs, rendered by masters of the pro
fession, than to pass entire nights, to
the ruin of health and morality, as well
as loss of money, in frequenting the
numerous gambling resorts in jackson

and malice, to bring first-class artists

Valentine Lunch.

A valentine lunch was given by the
Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. church
last Saturday in Browns building on
Court street, in aid of the church fund.
The lunch commenced about half past
two in the afternoon. About six
O'Clock short recess was taken, after
which the lunch was resumed. Each
guest. upon being seated received a
comic valentine, the distribution of
which caused much amusement, and
some dismay among a number of the
ladies whose valentines did not quite
come up to their ardent expectations.
The hall was tastefully decorated with
festoons and circlets of hearts cut out
of tissue paper, which had a. most
pleasing effect on the sight. On the
whole, those present had a most en-
iOyable time, and the pecuniary result
was all that could be expected con-
sidering the unfavorable state of the
weather.

Pumping Plants.

Knight & Co. of Sutter Creek have
recently erected large pumping and
hydraulic plant for the Standard Elec-
trio Company at the New York Ranch
reservoir. A Knight turbine water
wheel using fall of II feet inches,
has been erected to carry water from q
ditch adjoining the reservoir, with
which to work a Knight centrifugal
pump carrying 80 miners inches per
minute, erected alongside the reservoir.
With this apparatus the reservoir is
now being sluiced out. The machinery
was started about the 7th of January,
and worked splendidly until the break
occurred in the big ditch near Electra,
which necessitated the Standard Com
pany's officials to turn their attention
solely to that point, where about 100
men are working.
A large centrifugal pump is also
being manufactured at the Knight ma
chine works for the North Star mine at
Grass Valley, for the purpose of pump
ing tailings for the quartz mill there.
The same company have also shipped a
large tramway hoist to the Jenny Lind
and Maple Mining Co., Dedrick, Trinity
county, Cal.

In Memoriam.

We, your committee appointed to
prepare suitable resolutions in honor of
our departed brother, j. A. Gessler,
beg leave to submit the following:
Whereas, the great ruler of our uni
verse has, in his infinite wisdom, re-
moved from our midst our worthy
brother, Julius Ambrose Gessler, and
Whereas, the intimate relations held
during a long life by him with the
members of this lodge makes it fitting
that We record our appreciation of him.
Therefore be it
Resolved, that the wisdom and
ability which he has exercised in the
aid of our beloved order will be held in
grateful remembrance, and be it further
Resolved, that the sudden removal
of such a man from our beloved order
in which he has held the highest honors
available in the gift of a subordinate
lodge, leaves a vacancy that will be
deeply realized by all the members OF
our beloved order. Therefore be it
Resolved, that with deep sympathy
with the relatives and friends of our
deceased brother, we express an earnest
hope that even so great bereavement
may be overruled for their highest good.
Submitted in friendship, love and truth.

HOFFMAN.-T tunnel that is be-
ing driven west into the Hoffman
ground for the purpose of locating g
suitable spot for working shaft has
reached distance of $50 feet. 1t is
still in hard greensboro, with good
breaking qualities. The speed and
economy as regards cost in running
this tunnel are remarkable. Only one
shift of two men has been employed.
Last month distance of 20 feet was
made. The average cost per foot in
making this tunnel is estimated at
between 50 and $3.50. The work has
been done under the direction of J. B.
Francis.

The Buena Vista Bridge.

The board of supervisors met yester-
day for he purpose of taking action on
the bridge just completed by C. w.
Swain at Il point OH Jack son creek near
Buena Vista. On the previous day
some of the members of the board, ac-
companied by Henry Garbariui, went
down to Buena Vista to inspect the
structure, with the view Of being in a
position to report to the board as to
whether the terms of the contract had
been complied with, and the advisa-
blity of the acceptance of the bridge,
and payment of the contract price. 1t
was found that the specifications had
been departed from in several respects;
the most important being the substitu-
tion of lava rock as the material used
in building the abuttments, instead of
concrete, as the contract called for
The projecting wings of the abuttments,
to guard against damage from flood
waters, were curtailed. 1t was con-
tended that while the material used
might be strong and durable, still being
taken in close proximity to the bridge,
it was obtained at small cost as COM
pared with concrete; that if such ma
terial had been specified in the con-
tract, other contractors would have
been able to materially reduce the
price in their bids. 1t would therefore
be manifestly unfair to other bidders,
and against the interests of the county
in the future to accept the structure in
its present condition. The ironwork
was reported in accordance with the
specifications, with slight unimportant
changes.
After wrestling with the problem
during the morning session, without
reaching any definite conclusion, in the
absence of the contractor, it was de-
cided to await the arrival of c. w.
Swain, and the board adjourned until
p. m. AT that time G. w. Swain ap-
peared, and explained from his stand
point, that the substitution of rock for
SOASho "oo OOuO d0 bDo T6Qu6 vi
supervisor Amick; that there was no
wrongful intent in thus departing from
the terms of the contract; that he be-
lleved the masonry was equally as
strong as concrete. Mr.. Garbarini
contended that the substitution made
a material difference in the cost of con-
struction, and the district attorney
also contended that the mere word of
any one member was no justification
for departing from the written docu-
ment; that the board as board exc
cuted the contract, and only by the
board In its collective capacity could
its terms be modified or changed.
After considerable discussion, it was
suggested by Mr.. Garbarini that the
contractor ought to be required TO run
out the protecting wall of the north
butment so as to guard the bridge
from damage by flood, and also to face
the piers OF masonry with stout coat
of cement. This suggestion was &C
copied by the contractor, and peace
and harmony restored.
Supervisor Burke moved that the
auditor draw his warrant in favor of
Z. w. Swain for the sum of $1,000, the
balance of the contract price, amount
ing to S235, to be paid on the accept
ance OF the bridge by the board.
Supervisor Amick seconded the motion,
and it was carried unanimously. The
cost of the additional work is estimated
at from 500 to $3.50. OF course no
extra charge can be made for it.

c. G. Jensen, the optician at Kerr's
drug store, has been very busy OF late,
SO has decided to prolong his stay in
Jackson to give those who live out of
town, and who wish to consult him, an
opportunity to do so. 1t will be well
to bear in mind that Mr.. Jensen has
been we'll known in this county and
other counties for the past six years,
and his glasses have always given
universal satisfaction. Those who
have any trouble with their eyes. or
have headaches resulting from eye.
strain, should not fail to consult him
before he leaves Jackson, as it will
probably be twelve months before he
again visits this vicinity.
