Telephone Linemen Strike.

For several weeks linemen have been
employed by the Sunset Telephone
Company in erecting tall poles in Jack
son, and changing the wires thereto.
The work has practically amounted to
the construction of new line. Four
experienced linemen have been en-
plOyed at this work. By Monday
night they had the line in running
order, the principal work remaining to
be done being the taking down of the
old wires and poles. This would have
taken the force about two weeks more
to finish. Monday evening word was
sent from San Francisco that the line
mems union had declared a strike
against the Sunset Company. Three
men belonged to the union, and they
obeyed the strike order. The other is
a nOn-union man, and an expert in his
business, and declined to quit. He had
no grievance against the company, and
concluded to keep at his post. The
strike is for So. so per day as the union
mans wages for this class of work.
The average heretofore has been about
S2.75 per day. The union employees
left Wednesday morning. A strike of
linemen has been on in Los Angeles for
the past six weeks, and the general
strike for increased pay is partly of
sympathetic nature to help the Los
Angeles strikers.

Traction Engine a Success,

The initial trip of the traction engine
was made over the lone road to the
Oneida mine last Monday. The engine
left lone about 10 a. m., and arrived at
Martell's at p. m. The run from the
station to the Oneida was made early
Tuesday morning. The management
is elated over the success of the trip,
and are convinced beyond doubt that
the steam wagon is here to stay. The
horses that we're met on the road paid
very little attention to their new COM
petitor, undoubtedly being accustomed
to the rock breaker which has been on
the road for two or three years has
caused the teams to become used to
rattle and noise incident to machinery
run by steam. The wagons hauled by
the engine are made on the same plan
as the engine itself. They have three
iron wheels, their capacity being ten
tons each. Only two, however, were
hauled on the first trip, but as soon as
everything is adjusted and the roads
are put in better shape five wagons
will be hauled, and a round trip be-
tween the mines and lone will be made
in day. The engine will be kept
busy hauling oil to the mines, and by
hauling return freight, such as sui
pilates, it will undoubtedly be a pay.
ing proposition. When the outfit ar
rived at the Oneida it was followed by
the horses, about twenty, who seemed
to be curious to know what was going
on, and evidently wondering if it would
be their "fnish.''
Wednesday the traction made its
second trip to the Oneida. with a
heavier load, over 100 barrels, and re-
turned the same night. Thursday,
however, the machinery was somewhat
out of sorts, and had to be repaired.
Another trip will be made today.

Buggy Capsized.

w. ]. McGee had remarkable ex-
perience while on his way to Silver lake
this week. Somewhere this side Of
Hams. the horse-a very docile animal
-baulked and backed suddenly, cramp-
ing the wheels, and turning the buggy
completely over before MCGEE had
time to do anything to avert the acci-
dent. McGee and his son were thrown
out, with the buggy squarely over
them. The boy was the first to crawl
out of the dilemma, and MCGEE fol-
lowed, and the buggy was soon placed
right side up, the horse remaining as
gentle as could be during the opera
ton. Fortunately, neither MCGEE nor
his son received scratch as the result
of the accident, nor was the buggy
damaged in the slightest degree. In a
few minutes they were journeying lake
ward again as though nothing had
happened. The only explanation of
the affair is that snake must have
appeared in the roadway aud frighten-
ed the horse, causing it to back so un-
eXpectedly.

LOCAL MINING NEWS
Notes From Amador County Mines.
Capitalists View the Vaughn.

ARGONAUT.-We are prepared to
state that no definite steps have been
taken as yet looking to the active re-
sumption of mining at this mine. A
few timbers have been hauled in for
doing necessary repairs to the shaft.
These repairs must be done anyway
The inference that the underground
works are to be reopened, and full
force employed with the view of placing
the property on a working basis, is
premature. The repairs will take
some time to complete. Upon their
completion, the starting up of the mine
in full blast will depend upon circum-
stances
VAUGHN.-James Champion. owner
of this claim in Hunts gulch, was in
Jackson early this week. Parties rep
resenting New York capitalists were
also here looking at the property. 1t
is considered likely that they will fur
nish means to develop the claim. For
VIC dLAOun1 VI WOIh bud1 nuo OCOH
done, this location is considered very
promising one.
MITCHELL. - The Mitchell mine,
near Pine Grove, was sold by the
sheriff last Saturday under Judgment
for foreclosure of liens. Contrary to
expectations there was no competition
in bidding. The property was operated
by an unincorporated company, and
hence none of the individuals compris-
ing the partnership could purchase
without doing so for the benefit of all,
no matter how strong his faith might
be in the value of the mine. Judge
Davis bid it IN for the lienholders for
S41S3.20, the amount of the judgments
and costs.
SOUTH EUREKA-It is pleasing to
report decided improvement in the
output of this mine. The cleanup last
month left a balance of about $4,000
over all expenses. AS the mill crushes
on an average about so tons per day,
this output amounts to a clear profit of
about So per ton on the months run.
1t is expected that the assessments
which have kept the stockholders dig
ging into their pockets almost as per-
sistently as the miners have been dig
ging into the bowels of the earth, will
now cease. !. w. Truscott. H. ia nm
derstood, will soon retire from the
superintendency, which is greatly re-
GREETED by the company, as he is a
thoroughly efficient miner and careful
manager. To his work as superintend-
ent the improving prospects of the
mine are in great measure due.

Accident at the Merry-Go-Round.

Last Saturday night little jamie
Leonesio met with severe accident at
the merry-go-round. The little girl
was being held by gentleman, a friend
of her family, who was sitting just out
of the tent, waiting to put her on a
horse for a ride. When the whistle
blew, an italian who was riding at
tempted to jump off the machine before
it had stopped. He missed his footing
and fell against one of the tent poles
with sufficient force to knock it from
its place and cause it to hit the little
girl severe blow, which broke her
thigh bone. She was Immediately
taken to Wilford Dennis residence, and
DR.. Phillips was called and set the
bone. After which the little girl was
sent to her home near Jackson Gate.
The proprietor of the merry go-round
regretted very much that the accident
occurred, but no blame could be at
tached to him. He went out to the
Leonesio home last Sunday and gave
the unfortunate girl S25, as he under
stood that her folks were quite poor.
His generous act was very much ap-
preciated. The man who caused the
accident has agreed to give like
amount, which shows his disposition to
be fair.

Wagon Load of Trout.

Vic Rocco and Gus Laverone came
down from Silver Lake Monday They
reached jackson about noon, having
left Hams station that morning. They
brought down 156 dozen of trout, Sc
curely packed in ice in boxes. They
were away about three weeks, and
were tolerably successful in fishing,
after they got fairly started with the
sport. The entire catch was made by
the two fishermen. 1t is usual to get
the Indians to assist in corraling these
choice denizens of the lake, but this
year the Indians failed to show up, or
at least to manifest any interest in fish
ing. The load reached Jackson Just as
it left the lake, without being unpack-
ed en- route. The boys had lots of
trout to give away to their friends. In
return for their consideration in hunt
ing for the benefit of their friends, the
benefciaries were permitted to donate
toward defraying the expenses of the
SA APOoioiOd' L hO W6r6 duAIOuS
to comply with the letter of the law.
Now it happens that there is an ordin-
ance of Amador county which declares
it to be a misdemeanor to sell any kind,
quality Or size of trout, in Amador
county. 1t makes no difference whether
the fish have been caught in the waters
of Amador county or not. There is no
objection to catching all the trout you
can with rod and line. 1t is not the
catching, but the selling or Offering to
sell that is made the crime. To comply
with this detachable statute of the law
makers of Amador county, the trout
fisher, or any other fisher for that
matter, must either let his surplus
catch rot on his hands or give the same
away. Of course the law is a dead
letter. There never has been, and
never will be a successful prosecution
under it. 1t is absurd on it's face, and
carries its own condemnation. But
still it cumbers the ordinance book,
and hence the fishermen adopt the
mutual give-and-take plan to evade its
provisions.

"Fanchon The Cricket"

The graduating class of the Jackson
school were as successful in presenting
the drama, ''Fanchon The Cricket, :"
as they were in passing the examina-
tion before the county board of educa-
tion. The drama was played before a
crowded house in Loves hall Wednes-
day night. 1t was case of history re-
peating itself. Local talent is always a
favorite in Jackson, and the boys and
girls that took part held up the repu-
tation so long established by amatuers.
For want of space we are unable to
enter into details, but can say the char
acters were all good, and deserving of
praise for their efforts. The receipts
were in the neigh borhood of $65, which
paid all expenses. 1t was not the de-
sire OF the class to make anything on
the entertainment, and they were
gratitied in their wish. The success
OF the play was sufficient reward.
After the play was over the class
presented their teacher, Professor
Williams, with handsome arm chair
in appreciation of the esteem in which
he was held by them. Ross Moon, who
instructed the performers, was the re-
cipient of present in token of his kind
assistance.

Attempted Suicide in County Jail.

Jake" Harris. a we'll known char
acter of Sutter Creek, attempted to
commit suicide in the county jail last
Monday night. From under sheriff
Jackson we learned that Harris ap-
peared at the jail about p. M, and
said that 'he wanted to give himself
up as he was in trouble" Jackson
soon ascertained that it was bad case
of ''jim jams, and locked him up for
safe keeping. About an hour after
wards one of the prisoners heard uu-
usual sounds in Harris cell and notified
Jackson, who upon investigation found
that Harris had inflicted deep cut in
his throat with the broken part of a
spoon. This instrument was not sue
cessful, or too slow to do the job, so he
discarded the spoon and was using an
iron poker when discovered. He was
a ghastly looking sight, and it is quite
likely he would have finished himself
had he not been discovered. DR..
Endicott was called and Sewed up the
wound, and Harris was placed in
straight-jacket for the balance of the
night. He is now improving, and is
expected to soon recover from his
horrible experience.
Yesterday afternoon he was exam
ined by Drs. Endicott and Gall on a
charge of insanity, and committed to
the Stockton Asylum.

An Exciting Ball Game.

Last Sunday the Jewel Bourbons and
Volcanos again crossed bats on the
Jackson grounds. Both mines were de-
termined to win, and every player did
his best Notwithstanding several costly
errors were made. The errors were
offset by number of good plays, which
were appreciated by an enthusiastic
mob of 'fans." The Volcanos had the
game all but won, but fell down in the
last two innings and lost the game.
They claim that this was on account of
their pitcher being hit on the arm
while at the bat in the sixth inning,
thus crippling him for the remainder
of the game. The boys took their de-
feat gracefully, and went home with
the determination that they would win
the next game, and are practicing ac-
cordingly. Following is the score:

The Delinquent Tax List.

The delinquent tax list has been cur
tailed by over 20 names since it's first
publication in these columns. Nearly
80 persons paid up during the past
week. Many of the delinquents allow
ed their taxes to fall in arrear through
ignorance of the law. The sheriff's
Office has adopted the practice of send
ing each delinquent postal card show
ing the amount due for taxes. This
simple notification has had the effect
of materially reducing the list, and at
the same time swelling the Golfers of
Amador county.
