Railroad Progress.

Everything now points toward the
completion of the railroad as far as
Martell's station at an early date: 1t
is believed that the Southern Pacific is
behind the enterprise, and if so it will
unquestionably be put through with
out delay. Surveyors are out making
q more careful survey for grade than
has heretofore been done. This is
taken to mean that the road will be
adapted for steam traffic; that steep
grades, which would not be serious
obstacle in an electric line, are to be
avoided as much as possible. A large
force of graders and brush cutters are
at work. AS the route is now indicated
the line will cross the lone wagon road
at least four, if not five times.

Big cucumbers.

AS samples of giant cucumbers, the
product of jackson soil, we were pre-
sented this week with three specimens,
grown in the garden of Mrs. L. Love,

pounds, or nearly II pounds each. One
measured over Is inches in length.
They are the largest specimens of this

the judicious use of water.

N. E. Church Dedication.

Next Sunday. August q, the new
M. &. church will be dedicated. Bishop
j. W. Hamilton, D. D. and L. L. D.,
will preach morning and evening. The
repairs may not be entirely completed
on that date, but that was the only
Sabbath that the bishops time was
not covered by pre-engagement. and
so it was decided to have the opening
services at that time. The bishop is
one OF the most forceful and eloquent
divines of the Methodist church. The
church will no doubt be crowded morn
ing and evening. Every one should
make an effort to attend one or both of
these services.

DOINGS OF AMADOR
C0UNTY'S MINES

SAwYER-This claim is situated near
the Mokelumne river, in Pioneer dis
trict. A gentleman named Newman,
of San Francisco, is operating with a
force of eight men in running a tunnel
to tap the ledge at a distance of $50
feet from the surface. They have
about so feet further to run to reach
the ledge. This claim was formerly
known as the Pine mine, and has
yielded rich rock in years past.
WIDE AwAKE-At this mine, which
is in Railroad Flat mining district,
Calaveras county, a peculiar state of
affairs is presented. The ore ASSAYS 80
and $11 per ton, but several milling
tests have proved unavailing in saving
more than from so cents to 81 per ton.
The tailings show gold value of about
$40. If any method can be devised to
save fair percentage of the gold, the
property may be made a remunerative
one. The rock is not evidently of the
free milling character. Geo. l.. Wright
has had an expert from San Francisco
visit the mine recently, an experienced
assayer and mineralogist, who after a
thorough examination gave it as his
opinion that the ore might be treated
by the cyanide process. The manage
ment has decided to fix up small
plant to test this trea tment. An
assessment of ore cent per share has
been levied for this purpose. The ore
differs materially in character from
other gold ores in that vicinity. There
is little doubt some method can be de-
vised to recover the gold. The prob
lem may take little time, and involve
considerable experimenting to solve.
TREADwELL-Tuesday of this week
it was our good fortune to meet per-
sonally Messrs. ]. Schenck and ],
Oneta, general manager and foreman
respectively of the Sutter Creek Gold
Company, who are operating at this
mine, and to be shown by them the ex-
tent OF present developments. To
person who was familiar with the mine
and its history as we were, it is sur
prising to see what has been done in so
short time. The 5-stamp mill is one
of the most substantial we have ever
seen. The water supply is unlimited,
and the ore from every tunnel is of a
grade that will make the mine a good
dividend proposition when the COM
pany secures larger mill. The object
of the 5-stamp mill being to test the
ore chutes thoroughly. So far results
have been most aattering, and the
company Is securing adjoining proper
ties. Two tunnels 500 feet in length
have already been run, following the
veins which have proven to be from 8
to 10 feet in width. A shaft Al by "A
feet is being sunk on the main ledge,
and is now 80 feet deep. The rock is
improving with depth. Other tunnels
and cross-cuts will be run to tap the
veins at different places, and If present
favorable indications continue more
extensive operations will be begun. A
new bunk house has already been
erected. the boarding house has been
enlarged, the blacksmith shop is being
more thoroughly equipped every day,
and every improvement is of SUBJ
stantial nature. There are Is miners
employed at present. The men receive
good pay, are we'll fed, and not word
of complaint is ever heard from any of
them, We hope and believe that this
mine will prove to be bonanza under
its present management.

Fire in sgtter Creek.

The new dwelling house of Patrick
Grady on Main street, opposite the
brewery, was destroyed by fire Satur-
day evening. Another dwelling, be-
longing to Mr.. Grady's mother. was
only four feet distant from the house
destroyed, still by excellent work OF
the fire fighters, aided by the absence
of wind, it was saved. The house
burned was erected about two years
ago, and cost in the neighborhood OF
S1700. There is some insurance, but
how much we have not learned. Mr..
Grady was at work when the fire oc-
