MINING NOTES.

BUNKER HILL.-The 40-stamp mill
is being pushed to completion with all
possible speed consistent with thorough
work. 1t is expected to have the mill
ready to start about the first of Feb
ruary.
ONEIDA.-This- mine continues at
the same satisfactory pace it has main
tanned for some months past. Much of
the ore is taken from below 1000 feet.
A winze is being sunk from the 1000 to
the 2200 feet. The mill is crushing the
usual quota of rock, and everything
about the works indicates prosperous
and well-managed mine.
ARGoNAUT. : The repairs of the
Argonaut shaft are down close to the
water line, about the 1900 level 1t is
not the intention we understand to un-
water the shaft entirely. but only so
much as is necessary to enable the two
lower levels at 400 and 1900 feet to be
worked. The shaft work may be said
to be nearly completed. There will no
doubt be considerable work in the
levels before the milling of ore can be
started.
KENNEDY.-Everything is running
smoothly at this mine. The new hoist
is now working satisfactorily. The
expert machinist, representing the
builders, Allis, Chalmers & Co., of
Chicago, is still on the ground, making
needed changes to ensure the highest
efficiency Some trouble was expert
enced on account of the uneven wind
ing of the cable around the cylinder.
This has been fixed, and everything
seems to be running as smoothly and
evenly as could be wished.
VALPARAISO. = At this property,
which lies north of the Mammoth mine,
near Middle Bar, Ross Morgan has
been surveying for the past two months
The mine itself is patented claim, but
there is neither dumping room nor
ground for mill in connection with it.
A small irregular piece of land, thrown
out in the mineral surveys of all the
neigh boring claims, was left at the out
let of the Valparaiso tunnel. 1t is this
ground that has just been surveyed for
mill site. 1t is the intention to apply
for patent. The company will then
be in position to work the property
to advantage. 1t has been operated on
asmall scale on lease heretofore. The
lessees followed the rich stringers of
black metal, heavily freighted with
gold, and made good wages. But the
leasing system proved unsatisfactory
to the owners of the property. A large
ledge is believed to exist to the west,
and when the title has been perfected
TO the strip of unpatented ground, it is
believed that something may be done
toward starting up the mine on good
working basis.

Serious Cunning Accident.

An accident of serious character
happened Sunday afternoon, illustrat-
ing the dangers attending the carrying
of firearms even by experienced hunt
ers. Two cousins. Pietro and America
Scatena, went out hunting in the
morning, south west of Jackson. They
were returning home in the afternoon,
and within a half mile of Jackson
when the unfortunate affair occurred.
Pietro was ahead. In descending a
hill in this order, America slipped, and
his weapon was discharged. The con-
tents-a full charge of bird shot-struck
Pietro in the feshy part of the left leg.
just below the hip, making a severe
wound, from which the blood flowed in
a stream. His cousin took his shirt off
and with it made a temporary bandage
to stop the loss of blood as much as
possible. Young Fortner happened to
be near at the time, and he made haste
to get a doctor. Dr. Lonigo was
speedily on the ground; the injured
man was conveyed to town, and the
wound properly dressed. The wound
is bad one, and will take some time to
heal. Had the charge entered few
inches higher, it would probably have
resulted fatally. At last accounts the
man was doing nicely. His complete
recovery is only a question of time.

Novel Entertainment.

The liliputian sisters, Sarah and Lucy
Adams, of Oakland, gave one of their
pleasing entertainments in Loves hall
last Tuesday evening. The performers
are midgets, and this fact was sufficient
to awaken a lively interest in the affair.
In addition, they are vocalists and elo-
cutionists of a high order. The hall
was therefore we'll filed, and the audi
ence was highly pleased with the per-
formance throughout. We are told
the receipts amounted to over $40,
which will leave a small balance
over expenses. The proceeds, after de-
fraying expenses, were for the benefit
OF the M. E. church. The liliput
artists will give entertainments in Vol
cano, Pine Grove, and other places in
the eastern section.

Geo. I. Wright, who went to Penn

ness relating to the Del Monte mine, is
expected to return before the first of
the year. The financial stringency in
the east has prevented him from sue
cessful prosecution of his mission; re-
lief must therefore be sought in other
ways.

jackson Editor Under Arrest.

The Stockton Independent says:
Richard Webb, editor of the Amador
Ledger, was arrested lastweek for hav-
ing deer meat in his possession the day
following the open season, last October.
The animal was shot during the open
season, and some of the meat was sent
the editor, who holds that the law does
not cover the case. L. N. Kercheval,
a field deputy at large for the state
game and fish commissioners, swore
out the complaint after going to Jack
son and making au investigation. A.
Jones, who killed the deer, was also ar
rested. Both men gave bail and will
fight the case, as there was no intention
of violating the law. 1t is said that
there is quite a story of spite work back
of the case.
Amador ledger., 1903-12-18

in the afternoon she cooh.id the meat,
the defendant being absent, and par
took of small piece in recognition OF
the kindness OF the donor, and know
ing that defendant did not care for
such delicacy, she cut up the rest of it
and fed it to seven cats. She supposed
it was venison.
The defendant took the stand, and
testified that at no time was he in pos
session of any deer meat The parcel
was never delivered to him; he never
saw it opened or unopened; of his own
knowledge he could not tell that any
venison had been received by anyone
connected with the Ledger; he could
not tell deer meat from bear meat or
any other Kind of meat. The article
in the Ledger was based entirely on
hearsay-sta made by others
like the vast majority of news items.
The item itself did not say that the
editor received any venison. He had
never admitted to any one that he had
received deer meat, He did not know
what became of it, except what he had
been told.
The district attorney tried to make
the best h ould of poor case. The
jury delbe ted for over two hours,
and it was sn evident that no agree
ment could 10 reached, and they were
discharged. So ended the first chapter
n this comedy of errors, this farce of
farces, tha5 had its beginning and end
lug a personal spite.
A state official had travelled about
500 piles on this important case, at
pu olic expense, the county has been
stack for over $50, and thirty citizens
nave been taken from their business to
wrestle with this mighty issue of enter
ing judicial protest against the feed
ing OF seven cats with feast of alleged
venison. What sacrifice of energy in
noble cause. Ten thousand cases like
it would not tend one jot in the direc-
tion of the protection of game. We
await the opening OF the next act in
this deer (deaD tragedy aud comedy

Strike Off at South Eureka

The strike at the South Eureka,
which has been on for several weeks,
was declared off last Tuesday by the
Sutter Cleek Miners Union. It lasted
just four weeks, during which time
nothing but the hosting of water has
been done. The terms upon which the
strike was terminated were satisfactory
all round. The two men, whose re-
instatement the union insisted upon in
the first place, and which precipitated
the trouble, announced that they did
paved the way to an understanding, as
the company never had any objection
to the return of the other employees
So the men applied for work Wednes-
day morning, and operations were re-
sumed. Many of the old hands had left
for other parts, or had secured employ
ment elsewhere. There was no trouble
about getting men. Indeed, there we're
more applications than they had places
to fill, as there has been an influx of
miners to this section from Colorado
and other labor troubled states. This
settlement of the strike is hailed with
pleasure throughout the county. 1t
will tend to re-establish confidence
among mining investors, as showing
that the unions realize that radical
measures will not be tolerated; that a
conservative and conciliatory course,
recognizing to the fullest extent the
right of employers to take on or dis
charge men without dictation from any
source, is the only safe path to pursue.

ARE HIGH AVERAGES
WORK OF BUTTE BOWlERS is SUCH
AS TO BE CRACK IN ANY
SECTION.

Never before in the history of Butte has
such interest been manifested in a bowling
match as was Wednesday night when the
Ihorntons and phsters met in the last
series OF the IL games for a handsome
purse and numerous side bets. Friends of
both teams were there to cheer their ia
vorics to victory and rattle the opponents.
towbells, horns and other noisy in
struments were numerous and. considering
the fact that the Phstcrs were on the OPP
ponents' ground, the performance OF
Wednesday night was remarkable.
The work of Merklc, for the Pfstcrs,
was excellent, and his high score OF ssi
in the first game materially assisted in
finally landing the prize. Perham bowlci
a steady, careful game, but the remainder
OF the team were bit OFF OH form, al
though the showing made is far better than
the crack scores OF Denver or even Cali
orna
Barker, Fisher and Ellis for the Thorn
tons, were the only men TO pass the 200
mark, their highest scores being eos, soa
and soS, respectively. Shehan, the
lhornton's crack bowler was not up to his
usual form, but bowlcd a fair average
game.
Taking into consideration the scores of
Butte bowlcrs as compared with those
throughout the country there are men in
this city who need not be afraid to enter
any tournament with assurances OF win
ming. A score OF 100 in Denver is looked
upon as good, il not expert while there arc
men on the crack teams in this city who
can bowl an average Of better than 200.
In the state tournament 10 come. the
championship will in all likelihood fall to
this city. as there is no team either picked
or organized that can compare with the
work either OF the Thorntons or the
Phsters.
