STOCK MARKET
DISPLAYS LIFE
Desire. to Realize Profits
Due to Cheerful Tenor Of
the News Arouses Brokers
DEALINGS VERY LARGE
Demand Shows Great Variety
and Many Striking Gains
Are Made During the Week

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-With no
change in the hopeful and cheerful
tenor of the news and with no abate-
ment of the general confidence in gen.
eral conditions, the desire to realize
profits so far overbore the eagerness to
secure new ownership in stocks as to
cause a decidedly irregular tone in to-
days stock market. The price changes
compared with last night offered very
mixed result at the end of the trading.
The dealings were very large and the
demand showed great variety. Transac-
tions were well distributed and deal
ings were not greatly congested in a
few stocks. The favorite speculative
stocks, which usually lead the whole
market in point of activity, suffered
most from realizing and generally lost
ground during the day.
Conspicuous gains were made by the
less prominent railroad stocks and by
many industrials and specialties which
are rarely heard of in the market Such
gains were striking, extending to many
points in some cases, but their effort is
never as reassuring to the general spec
ulative sentiment as the uplifting de-
mand for standard stocks. The wabash
and Illinois Central and Southern Pa
cific were the most effective sustaining
forces in the days market, and United
States Steel preferred showed revived
strength in the late market when the
general tendency was downward.
The bank statement showed a larger
decline in cash than was expected, but
its effect on the surplus was modified
by the considerable loan contraction of
$14,7S9, 500. The loan contraction is sup
posed to be due to the fact that several
of the large trust companies have been
active lenders of funds during the
week, thus relieving demands upon the
banks. The liquidations Of loans from
the profit-taking in the stock market
is believed to have been more than OH
set by the new demand for speculative
purposes. Sterling exchange was strong
again to-day, and the likelihood of fur
ther gold exports to Paris during next
week is increased. Total sales, 1926, 900.
The outburst of animation and buoy
ancy which followed the election was
generally anticipated, and, as in all
such events, extensive measures had
been taken in the stock market to reap
an advantage from the result. The con-
sequence was that enormous specula-
tive holdings OF stocks were thrown
upon the market to realize profits, and
the market afterward developed some
hesitancy and uncertainty. The reac-
tionary effect upon prices proved slight,
and the demonstration of the great alb
sorptive power of the market had the
effect of confirming speculative conf
dence. On the halt on Monday the deal
ings fell to the lowest total since the
present awakening of speculation devei-
oped early in October. but on Wednes-
day the transactions recorded rose TO
an aggregate of 2.351. 900 shares. This
is the largest total for any days busi-
ness since May g. 1901.

GAME IN BIG BASIN
DYING OF STARVATION
Shortage of Food Due to the Fires
That Swept the Country
last Summer ~

BOULDER CREEK. Nov. 12.-Ow-
Ing to the destruction of their food,
such as grasses, berries and the like
by the terrific fires that swept the
country during the summer, quail and
rabbits here and in the Big Basin and
St&te Park are dying of starvation.
Realizing the desperate plight of the
game the Boulder Creek Fish and
Game Protective Association has
established feeding grounds where
daily large quantities of wheat and
corn is scattered in localities the game
frequent. Hundreds of quail have
taken up their roosts in the brush near
the feeding grounds. SO that now it has
become necessary for the club MEM
bers to watch them closely 20 prevent
them being shot. 1t is no uncommon
sight to see the ground black with
them while the feeder sits on the
fence and watches, so tame has hunger
made them.

Brandy Seized.

A special agent of the internal rev.
enue service arrived in Amador county
last week, on a still hunt for illict
brandy. At the distillery of Giuseppe
Sierra, mile or so east of Sutter
Creek, he discovered two barrels of
brandy, concealed in an outbuilding,
which lacked the usual stamps showing
that the tax OF $1.10 per gallon had
been paid thereon. The brandy was
seized. The two packages contain
something over 100 gallons. The officer
also discovered that the distiller had
sold brandy in retail quantities. without
the protection of the internal revenue
license. Sierra and the revenue officer
were in Jackson Tuesday and Wednes.
day to fix up the matter without a re.
course to the criminal law.
R. Vicini, in the vicinity OF Mt. Echo,
is also reported to be in trouble on ac.
count of the discovery of a quantity o
brandy on his premises without the

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT THE ARG0NAUT

The Argouaut mine was this week
which in face of the utmost precautions
on the part of the management form
an inseparab BILE part of the perils to
which the underground toilers are ex-
posed by virtue of their calling. Tues
day morning four men were engaged
in the sinking of the shaft. They had
fired six missed holes, and had reached
the skip and were being hauled on top,
as their shifts work was done. The
men were Samuel Pistinyak, Chris
Bergovich, Nick Bangor and another
The first named was inside the skip,
the others were riding on the bale. In
the skip we're some tools, such as picks,
and a tamping stick. The iron track
upon which the skip ran was new, had
only been laid day or so before. 1t is
supposed that something in the skip
probably the tamping stick-projected
over the skip so as to come in contact
with the shaft timbers. The skip was
pulled from the track-turned turtle.
Those on the bale were thrown to the
shaft timbers and escaped injury, with
the exception of Chris Bergovich, who
had his left foot badly crushed between
the skip and the tim bers. His injuries
will incapacitate him from work for
some time. Pistinyak, in the skip,
had no opportunity to save himself.
He was fatally hurt. 1t is believed his
back was broken; exactly how is not
known. The blasts in the bottom had
exploded soon thereafter, and the
smoke was almost suffocating where
the unfortunate victim lay. He told
his companion that he was done for
anyway, and urged him to go on top.
or he would be smothered. Both the
uninjured men stood by their helpless
comrade. Pistinyak lived for two
hours after the accident, and was got
to the surface before he passed away.
The body was taken to his boarding
house, at A. Perovich's In Jackson.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, under the auspices of the

A Neat Piece of Work.

There may be seen in the show win
dow of J. n. Langhorst, the watch
maker, a working model OF a ten stamp
quartz mill in operation. 1t occupies a
space of a trifle over foot square. 1t
exhibits the working of the stamps in
the mortars. and shows the channels
or plates over which the crushed ma
terial flows after leaving the batteries.
This piece of mechanism was made by
J. w. Gothic in Sutter Creek in 1897,
and has been exhibited in San Fran
cisco and otl.er places, for the purpose
of practically illustrating the method
of quartz mining. 1t is driven by tiny
electric motor, about half the size of a
mans fist. The motive power is as
great a curiosity as the mill itself. 1t
is of between l and 2 volts capacity,
sufficient to drive the ten stamps, or
any lesser number. This little mill
has attracted much attention since its
installation in the show window. 1t
would have been nice piece of work
for the mineral section of California at
the world s fair.
In addition to the mill, there is on ex-
hibition at the same place, a min iature
tool chest and tools, the latter fashion
ed of steel. There is monkey wrench,
guages, squares. and in fact a complete
line of machinist's tools. None of
them exceeds two inches in length.
Thev were also made by Mr.. Gothic,
and Of themselves show a high order
of mechanical skill Mr.. Gothic is now
employed as machinist at Gdrbarini
Bros. shop on Water street, Jackson.

Obituary.

Mrs. William johnson died at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. G. A.
Grittou, in Jackson, on Saturday last
She had been failing for several
months, owing to extreme old age.
She was 81 years of age and native of
Sweden. She emigrated from her
native land, in company with her hus-
band, in 1852. and settled in Illinois,
living there until 1859. In that year
they crossed the plains to California,
settling in Volcano the same year.
Her husband preceded her to the grave
in 1895. With the exception of two
years spent on a return vi it to Illinois,
deceased lived in Amador county since
first arriving here. and all this time
was passed in Volcano, except the last
two years. She leaves one child, Mrs.
Gritton, wife of 6. A. Gritton, county
treasurer. The funeral took place at
Volcano on Monday, the remains being
inferred by the side of her husband,
William Johnson. and followed to the
grave by many beyond the circle of
her relatives, as all who knew her in
life esteemed her for her many virtues
and kindly disposition.
