Preston School Outlook.

We are in receipt Of copy of the
Outlook, printed and published by
the boys of the Preston School of In
dustry at lone. 1t is by all odds the
most artistic publication issued by the
school, 1t is exclusively the work of
the boys, from literary as we'll as a
mechanical standpoint. OF course
they are under the direction of ex-
perienced instructors. AS a specimen
of the printing art the product would
do credit to any print shop of the large
cities. Altogether the Outlook shows
such high class of literary and me-
chanic merit that must convince auy
one that the Preston school is doing
much toward making the scholars in
dustrious and useful members of the

A MERITED PROMOTION.
7. R. Jones, Native of Jackson, Division
Superintendent of s. P. R. r. at Sacra-
mento

An appointment that will be received
with general satisfaction by the many
friends of the appointee in Jackson
the town of his birth-was made last
week, whereby T. R. Jones was pro-
NOTED from the division superintend-
ency of the S. P. r. r. at Tucson,
Arizona, to the superintendency of the
Sacramento division. The appoint
ment took effect Novemb Der 1st, and
Mr.. Jones has already moved with. his
family to his new and more responsible
charge.
L. r. Jones was born in Jackson,
Amador county, October 81, 1853. He
entered the employ Of the railroad COM
pany as telegrapher at Rocklin, Placer
county, in 1872, and has been in the
employ of that company ever since.
He was soon promoted and moved to
Sacramento, and for many years filed
the office of train dispatcher, and in
that position displayed those traits of
attention to minute details and close
application to business which have
made him one of the most trusted en-
ployes OF the corporation. He was
promoted to be assistant division
superintendent at Sacramento, under
the administration of the late ]. B.
Wright. In October, 1902, he was
made superintendent of the division
between Los Angeles and Tucson,
Arizona, with headquarters at the
latter place. Upon the sudden death
of Superintendent S. j. Laws of the
Sacramento division, Mr. Jones was
appointed to his present high Office,
and returns to the city which has been
his home for nearly 80 years. He is
more thoroughly cOnversant with the
division, and the employees therein,
than any other official of the company.
The Sacramento Union in noting the
appointment of Mr.. Jones, compliments
him for his executive ability in the fol-
lowing notice:
1t is said of Superintendent Jones
that while he was ON this division he
had such absolute command of every
essential detail connected with it that
he knew personally every man in the
employ OF the company, and the min
ute one OF the employees would enter
his office he would name him and the
position he filled without the slightest
| hesitation.
In addition to this wonderful faculty,
he kept informed of every bit OF rail-
| fOdu material Gndb was scattered over
the division, and in case of a wreck
being reported knew just where to lay
his hand on men and material to speed
lily repair the damage. In fact, he was
more thoroughly conversant with the
details OF the division than oven the
section bosses who handled personally
the section crews.
The same may be said of the run
ming department of the road, as Mr.
Jones knew the characteristics of all
the engineers and iremen, conductors
and brakemen on the division. and
could tell them details of their every
day life that occasionally astonished
them beyond measure, and many a
promising youny railroader has been
called up on the carpet and received a
friendly warning from Mr.. Jones that
opened his eyes and caused him to turn
over new leaf to his own betterment
and for the advantage of the company.
Superintendent Jones is brother OF
II. w. Jones and Mrs. Il. Webb, wife
of the editor of the Amador Ledger.

MINING NOTES.

DEFENDER.-A new shaft is being
sunk at this leading mine in Pioneer
district. At the depth of about 300
feet the pay ore pinched in the old
shaft. 1t had pinched before, but
further development at greater depth
led to the recovery of the gold bearing
quartz. For some reason the shaft
was not sunk below where ore petered.
but new shaft was started an the
ledge at distance of something like
500 feet from the old works. This is
now down about 80 feet. and reported
to be in good rock. The Defender will
likely prove a paying property for
years to come. We are pleased to re-
port this encouraging outlook from the
mining interests of the eastern section.
KENNEDY. enlarged chlorina-
tion works are now in good working
order, both the new furnace and
the old one, fully repaired, being
in condition for roasting. The ad-
ditional 40 stamps to the mill will
no doubt be ready to start up by
the 1st of next month. The sinking of
the east shaft is being pushed steadily.
Over so feet has been accomplish he'd.
There is no need for rushing the sink
ing, as the ore in the levels now open is
enough to last for long time. How
far the sinking will be continued is
undecided,

hoist to be erected at this mine has

A number of men are at work excavat-
ing for the foundation. Knight & Co.
have the contract for putting up the
hoist. Sinking operations are proceed
ing steadily in the shaft. The mill is
idle, as it is found impractiGable to
keep one half the stamps running while
sinking is in progress.

"'Tis queer" Ishmael mused.
what things the Lard keeps track of.
'Tis queer, now, that he knowed they

wonderful queer!"
Il wonder what Jacob Swiftll be
askin' for the heart of his bull?"

said Ishmael. "as the whole bulls

'Ay, he's a mean man."
I've some silver" said Ishmael,
which would be part o. the price"
I've a punt an two salmon nets,
said Ezra. "'Tis like 1 can sell un

through the door. I've heered you
talkin'. Man." she said, laying her
clasped hands on her bosom, but I'm

''Noa, noa, woman" said Ezra. "I'll

But. by" said she, when you gets

"Ay,'' said Ezra softly, "tis true.

said Ishmael. because He has made
known the cure!"
Jimmie Lutte was dispatched to
Round Island with the healer from Far
Away Cove to buy the heart of the
black bull with the white face. When
Jacob Swift, who owned the bull, per-
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-21

ceived the urgency of their business he
demanded all that they had: for, said
he, IF the Lard God Almighty keeps
an eye on my bull, It's a gran fine
bull; an if the Lard sets such store
by the heart O. the beast, 'twould be
noa moare'n respectful for me L put a
good price on it." But what cared Ezra. ?
What cared Mary? What cared the
healer?' What cared Jimmie Lutte?
What cared they all when they had the
queer black powder safe in the jar?
1t was a happy, wonderful hour, in
deed when the cure was begun.
"T think O. you bein' strong agin."
said Mary. Just L think O that! Sure
1 can hardly bear it, Ezra-I can hard
ly bear the JOY of it."
''The herrin' bait'n be comm in"
said Ezra, taking the medicine jar in
his hand TO fondle it. In three weeks
I'll be settin' me nets again. 'Tis
hard { think it. Ay," he whispered.
4" tbs hard L believe"
Mary was quick to mark his ex-
haustion-his duh stare, the flush, the
rasping breath.
"Tis time fer you Z be goain' t
bed, by" she said softly.
"Ay," he answered, Its time for
you t help me up. But at this time
o. night come three weeks" he went
on, looking UP to her with a smile.
''I'll be splittin' fish-me own catch,
Mary, me own catch"
"'Tis gran t think it, said she.
There came a night in the fall, with
a gale driving the rain against the
windows of the little room where
Ezra lay. when the man knew that his
hope had been mistaken. Great gusts
OF wind. breaking from the sea, where
they had swirled and leaped all un-
opposed, shook the house as they
swished past to lash the inland wilder
ness. In the intervals, when these
rushing noises fell away, the night
was filled with the deep, mighty roar
of the breakers. Ezra could hardly
lift his voice above it all.
"'Tis a barb'rous bad night" said
he.
The old healer from Parkway Cove
sighed. His head had fallen over his
breast. He had no heart to look up.
''Ah, Ishmael," said Ezra, a rush of
pity for the broken man making his
voice quiver and his gray lips trem-
BILE, you'll not be grievin' no moare
because the cure failed. Twas all a
mistake, man-'twas but a mistake %
"Ay," said Mary, "he've done what
he could"
Ishmael looked up. His face was
/. sallow and haggard. He drew his hand
over his eyes in a duh, helpless way.
I've been thinkin'." he whispered.
that I'm nothing but a misled man %
"Noa, noa," said Ezra The Lord
leads you, Ishmael."
I'm thinkin'." the healer went on,

vale. He saw the pallor and hollow
ness OF Ezra's s face and heard the rat
tie IN his throat.
You is sick. man." he said. You
is desperate sick"
I'm TUX with the decline, zur," said
Ezra.
The need of healing. the spirit of
pain, made IshmaePs great heart ache.
He wondered il the Lcrd would grant
him a cure for this man.
You has a wife, I'm thinkin?" he
said.
And a wee babe" Ezra answered,
smiling.
An the Lard will oanly let me-
said Ishmael, looking far off, "I'n cure
you"
So Ishmael was given a place in the
home of Ezra Westerly. Night after
night he waited for the Lord to make
known the cure in a dream. By day he
fshed for Ezra from Ezra's punt-go-
ing regularly at dawn to the grounds
off Mad Bull, and returning with his
catch in the evening; taking Ezra S
turn in the bait-skiff when the caplin
schools came in; splitting cod far into
the night if the fish were running
thick spreading the eaten 10 drv on
the flake when the Mad Bull shadows
were deserted. At odd times he poured
over the Old book, lest the Lord should
think him lukewarm in his search for
the cure. One night he read that sec
ton relating to medicines made out
Of living things'-read and puzzled till
his head was aching and muddled. Il
am of opinion" said the book, that
the Suet of a Goat mixed with a little
Saffron is excellent an oyntment
especially for pains, as any is" Then,
The Froath of the Sea. it is hot and
dry; Being mixed with powdered
crabs Shells il helps chills. 1t helps

with hair" Again. THE Bone that
is found in the Heart of a Stag is as
fovereign a Cordial and as great a
ftrengthener Of the Heart as any is,
being beaten into Powder" Thus on
and on-pouring over the list of
strange cures.
THE heart of a stag" he thought,
putting his hand to his brow. Now
they's deal in that, I'm thinkin'."
He fell asleep over the table at last
with his head on the old book.
Ishmael brought the punt in from
the grounds early next day. Ezra was
sitting in the sunshine by the cottage
door.
"Ishmael." said Ezra. has you-has
you had the dream?"
Hope grew strong in his face. Then
his lips quivered and he turned his
ewes aw7y fearing new dfsa01oinf
ment.
"Ay," said Ishmael, ''the dream has
come"
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-21

staring the while at Ezra in a vacant
way.
Just a touch, by. Sure 1 wouldn t
think O. hurtin' the wee thing"
Il doan't know as twill do you any
good said Thomas, with a puzzled
frown.
Ezra darted an anxious glance into
his eyes. rs they noa cures worked
YETI" he whispered.
Thomas. scratched his head.
Mar a one?" said Ezra.
The childs dead" said Thomas.
Ezra gasped. "'Tis a PITY" he cried
his voice strong and athriu with SYM
pathy. "'Tis Il pity, man, L lose your
wee child like that. I'm fair sorry for
YOU"
"Jss," said Thomas. with a sigh.
"'Twould "a been grand t have the
seventh son of a seventh son t fish
from the same punt with me. 'Tis a
pity"
They watched the mist break and
lift-the sunlight spread over the sea.
Leave us goa hoame, by" said
Jimmie.
'Iss." Ezra whispered, for his voice
had grown of a sudden very weak.
I'm thinkin'," he went on. with a fine
smile, that the Lord wants we in
heaven. Leave us goa hoame."
They went down the path very
slowly:
Meanwhile the healer from Parkway
Cove had come down the coast, pass
ing from harbor to harbor in a rotten,
ragged old punt, everywhere applying
those cures which. as he believed, the
Lord disclosed to him in dreams.
L am a healer by command o. the
Lard" he told the people. He is my
helper"
us you, now?" said they. "By COM
mand o. the Lard! My, but it's a
wonderful thing!"
In the evening of the day when the
seventh son of a seventh son had died
Jimmie Lutte made Ragged Harbor
from Fortune, with Ezra Westerly
lying exhausted in the bow of the
punt. The west was iaring red-the
wind had fallen away-all the earth
was quiet-the punt slipped over long,
soft pillows. Ishmael Roth sounded
the Pillar just as Jimmie passed the
Staff; the punts crept side by side
down the narrows to the still water
of the harbor, where 1t lay at the feet
of the grim hills. all crimsoned by the
sun.
us there any place where a man
can be taken in for a bit?" IshmaeI
called.
"Ay," said Ezra, lifting himself on
his arm. 'They's always a place t.
Ragged Ha'bor where an honest man
can bide."
Ishmael brought his punt alongside
and caught hold Of the others gun

his face contorted by agony. that I've
mistook my calm. 'Tis like the Lard
never meant me Z be a healer
Sure He did," said Mary. They's
mar a doubt about that"
They were silent-all cast down IN
bitterness and despair. while the rain
ratified on the window panes and q
burst Of wind beat furiously upon the
house. ~ 4
"Ishmael." said Ezra at last, you
done your best"
"Ay." said the healer. Il dons my
best"
An I done my best" said Ezra
LAY, an you done your best"
The Lard He done His best-surely
the Lard done His BEST" said Ezra,
gently.
"Ay; surely the Lard He done His
best" said IshmaeL Blessed be the
Lard"
There's noa call t grisve. Ishmael."
said Mary. "They's noa call at all.
I'm thinkin'," said Ezra. that they
was a mistake. The Lard would make
noa mistake, Ishmael; but the instru-
ments, man-was they noa mistake
made by them?'
Ishmael looked UP.
'Ishmael," said Ezra, twas the
heart of a live bull the Lard told US
t take"
cay. live bull"
"Ishmael. is you sure the bull
wasn't dead when you cut the heart
out?''
Then the old strange light. the light
that might have burned in the
prophets eyes. shone again In Ish-
maers-
20 Lard" he cried. lifting up his
face. for his faith had been restored.
great is thy power and marvellous are
thy works."
Ezra sighed happily. though he was
dying.
SO the healer from Parkway Cove
went back to the north. The Lard
has not failed me-" he said TO the peo-
pie. I've failed him. I'll be pre-
parin' myself further-makin' ready
for tn wark. agin' the real time when
I'm called Z do It." He went back
TO that far-off desolation, where, in
the dawn and in the dusk, he might
listen again for the Voice IN the hiss
Of breaking waters. He sought that
place where, in the thud and crash
of the breakers. the word might be
spoken. He passed from the in
habited coast to the loneliness Of
bleak rocks and wilderness that the
Lord might speak to him in the silence
or in the driving gale Again, in the
evening. when the flush and flare were
upon great clouds. he looked for the
Lord, and for the winging hosts OF
angels ascending and descending, as it
is written. There, from day to day,
he waited for the Voice and the Call
And there he died.
