Preacher,s Family Arrives.


 The wife of Rev. MT. Sibiey, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, with her children, arrived during the week and for the present are at Hotel Es- cambia- As soon as the residence Is ready for them, the minister and his family will occupy a house on West Chase Street.
 Postponed for Term.
 In the United States Court this morn ing, the first matter to occupy the at tention was the case of Alex D. Brown who is under indictment for embez- zling. The defendant was called to the bar and through his counsel announced that bill of particulars had been asked for and though 1t had been furnished the defense had not prepared for trial fully. To that end a postponement was asked.
 District Attornely Sheppad said that, on account of the number of witnesses which the Government would require, some of whom were out of the State, the case could hardly be begun today. and he would not oppose the motion. that the matter go over until the next term.
 This case has attracted scores of per- sons to the United States Court room. owing to the prominence of the de- fendant, who Is assistant postmaster There are two indictments against Brown, each of which charges the em- bezzlement of money order funds. Post office Inspector Conant of Macon. Ga, discovered discrepancies in the records here, it is stated, and afterwards Post office Inspector Fred Peer was called into the case. Together the ofiicials placed the information before the grand jury. with the result that two true Nlls were granted.
 FOrty-slx Gamblers Arrested.
 Forty six gamblers have been arrest ed by the county officials within the past week, and in every case the de- fendant has been a negro. All Of them were taken before County Judge Bel finger and twenty-five have been held to- the criminal court. There has been a great stir in the ranks of the gam blers over this action of the omcials.

NEWS OF PENSACOLA

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 5.--{Speciall ) It was IF o'clock last night before the last of the Aldermen who attended the meeting at the city hall reached their homes. But the City Council had practically ended the investigation Into the fire of last month.
 Several witnesses were heard last night, one of whom was President Pitt of the water company who took the stand to deny in toto all that had been said concerning a low pressure Of the water. Nearly every witness had something to say about the low water pressure, which prevented the play of streams upon buildings in the vicinity. It was denied by Mir. Pitt that this was the case, and two em-' ployes of the company supported the President.
 Chief White of the ire department. was placed on the stand last night and the insurance men who were allowed the privilege wrung from the witness some admissions which were damaging to the supposed efficiency of the Pen- sacoIa fire department. It as admit ted that the hook and ladder truck had been out of commission for over Q month; that, with the destruction Of two ladders at the fire the supply was exhausted: that the chiefs knowledge of the workings of the water supply station was meagre; that it was un- known, even to the chief, when the powerful steam engine owned by the city was to have been brought into service. fireman testified that the supply of hose at the house where he was stationed was anything but good. and when the fire was about to be got- ten under control a piece burst.
 The investigation was pushed t6 the end. and when all the testimony had been taken the stenographer was or- dered to make three copies of 1t. This will take about three days, as there are more than 300 pages. Upon re- ceipt of this evidence the Mayor will again call the Council to order and will have the body pass upon the re- sponsibility for the spread of Pensa- cola's largest fire

Obituary.

Benjamin Satchwell, a pioneer resi-
dent of the neighborhood of Oleta,
died at his residence on the 1st
of March. Deceased was born in
leicester, England, on the first of
March, 1919. He emigrated to the
United States in 1916, settling in Illi-
nois. In 1850 he joined in the rush for
California, and arrived in this state the
same year, and commenced mining on
Dry Creek, near Fiddletown, now
Oleta. In the fall of 1852 he went back
to Illinois for the purpose of getting
his family. They started to cross the
plains in the spring of 1858 with an OK
team, and arrived in Fiddletown in
September of that year. The same
year he moved with his family to a
ranch on Indian creek, where he has
lived ever since-a period of over so
years. He leaves wife and two
daughters, besides severel grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildr to mourn
his departure. Deceased was a loving
husband and father, honest and up
right in his dealings with his fellow
men, doing to the best of his ability as
he would be done by. ''Even his fail
ings leaned to virtues side."

Another Railroad Plan.

D. Mccall of lone, who has taken a
leading part in the introduction OF the
traction engine on the lone road, and
also in the numbering interest of the
county, is interviewing the people in
different towns in the interest of a
steam railroad from Sutter hill to the
vicinity of the Amador Lumber Com
pany's saw mill on Tiger creek. The
proposed road is 25 miles in length, and
the object in view in its construction is
the supply of the mines of the mother
lode region with fuel, logs and lum ber
from the resources of Amador county.
AS it is now this vast trade, amounting
to over $780, annually, is brought
from outside the county, excepting the
round timbers, and even in this respect
the margin is so narrow that, as the
timber belt is pressed further up the
mountains, these also are likely in a
short time to be brought from the out
side. The effect has been greatly to
the detriment of the eastern section of
the county, and the evil will doubtless
be intensified with the lapse of time,
unless something is done to restore this
important trade to Amador county.
In addition to the timber resources,
there are vast deposits of marble and
granite along the route of the proposed
| ~
owing to difficulties of transportation,
but with cheap and rapid transporta-
ton they would prove valuable sources
of wealth. The proposition is to build
a narrow gauge line, the rails and roll
ing stock of which can be purchased at
low rate second hand. The cost of
construction is roughly estimated at
800, 900, or $4,000 per mile. With a
subscribed capital of 5000 it is
thought the balance could be readily
raised by floating bonds. The plan
does not include building to lone. 1t
is not designed to antagonize or thwart
that project in any way. But it is felt
that to undertake the entire length of
nearly so miles, would be too heavy a
load to carry through. Furthermore,
the promoters believe that the opening
up of the eastern section of the county
is more desirable at present than the
construction of road from lone to the
mineral belt. There is room for o
diversity of opinion on this point.
However, there is no question that the
line proposed would be very advantag-
eous to Amador county. 1t ought to
be encouraged. There is no danger of
the railroad business being overdone.
Vast sums of money are being sent out
of the county for the purchase of sup
plies, which would be spent for wages
and material among our own people if
we had railroad facilities like the one
proposed. The Ledger wishes Mr.
Mccall and his co-workers success in
this enterprise, believing that it is big
with promise of prosperity for the
whole county.

DEFENDER ITEMS.

Last week was very rainy week in
this vicinity, but this week the weather
has been very pleasant. Green feed in
this section is coming on rapidly owing
to the warm rain we have had.
There has been quite a number of
slides on the canal during the heavy
rainfall OF last week, which gave en-
ployment to good many laborers.
Several of the miners at the Defender
were laid off last week.
J. Porter & Son have finished their
contract at the Defender. They have
taken contract to run the two hun
dred foot level twenty feet further.
Frank Burg is doing some contract
work on the Tom & Dick quartz mine
for F. B. Joyce.
Lee Peyton and his brother Will are
running tunnel on their claim They
have about fifty feet further to run
before they open up their ledge.
The Kimball Bros. have closed down
their mine on account of surplus water
running in from old works. They will
start up again as soon as the rainy sea-
son is over.
W. Q. Mason and his nephew, Frank
Mason, have been running quite an
extensive tunnel on their claim. They
have not found anything yet. Frank
says if they don't strike it pretty soon
he will pull the tunnel out and put it
in new place.
Mrs. Nellie Harker and her sister,
Ruth Barnhart, were seen passing
through Defender on their way to Vol
cano, to visit Adolphe About, who is
very i'll.
Henry Bradley is engaged in cutting
mbers, making spiling and shakes on
Piccardo & Podesta's 8 mountain ranch.
Mr.. Bradley gets around pretty lively
for man of his age, especially when
he goes on one of his bear hunts and
the bear turns his way.
G. Stirnaman has quite q large wood
contract for the Defender. Charley
thinks cutting wood stacks up better
than searching for nuggets.
Our celebrated, educated chemist was
experimenting with some patent medi-
cine few days ago, and the result was
that the chemist was not presentable
for several days.

plication for patent.
AMADOR QUEEN. or six differ
ent companies are operating the ANA
dor Queen No. 2, in Murphys gulch,
under lease. They are hunting around
in different parts of the mine for the
rich pockets which are occasionally
met with at the contact of the slate
and the greensboro. As rule the op-
orators manage to make good wages in
bnlS way.
A CLEANUP. E. Garbarini. Jos.
Poggi and a man named Teradso have
for number of months been working
mining claim adjoining the Amador
Queen No. 2 on the south, under lease
from w. N. Bardue. At a depth of 100
feet they are drifting at the junction OF
the slate and greensboro. There is NO
ledge matter to follow, no quartz seam
or stringer as guide. At any moment
they are apt to run upon a deposit oi
black metal heavily charged with gold.
To-day ]. Garbarini brought to town
some samples of rock recently taken
from this claim, which are among the
richest we have seen for a long time.
He also had about two pounds of re-
torted gold, the latest product of this
mine, worth about $18 per ounce, or
in the neighborhood OF $4OO for the
cleanup.
