NOTES FROM
GOLD MINES

GWIN-Three hundred men are now
employed. A great deal of work has
been done on top, building, repairing,
etc. The S0-stamp mill is running con-
tinuously. The mine is apparently do
ing its duty towards the stockholders
at the present time.
MARsINo GRAVEL M1NE-A new
formation has appeared in and around
the gravel. A cement lava carrying
free gold has been encountered which,
if it should continue, would necessitate
the erection of small mill, and greatly
add to the output of the mine.
FREMoNT-G -GovER-The situation re-
mains the same as last week. The
sand flume is nearing completion. The
strike is still on, and the company
shows no disposition to yield.
The KIMBALL PROPERTIES-Kim
ball u Sons, of Defender, own four
claims in the Pioneer district, viz, the
Deadwood, Deadsheep, and south ex-
tension to the Pioneer, all adjoining
claims, and one next to the Q. Mason
mine. On the Deadwood small hoist
has been erected, and several tons of
good ore was taken out during the last
winter. 20 tons of rock was milled last
year that yielded $50 to the ton in free
gold. The shaft is 70 feet deep, and
the pay ledge is from Is to "a inches
wide. 1t is conceded to be the Defend
er vein. Six tons of $50 rock and $50
tons of S6 rock are now on the dump.
and will be milled during the summer.
The shaft on the Deadwood is 200 feet
deep. Several years ago Is tons from
this mine was crushed, and yielded S25
per ton in free gold. The sulphurets
are very rich, bringing the value up to
much higher standard. This vein is
about 20 inches wide in the shaft.
In the Pioneer extension 400 foot
tunnel has been run, and the prospects
are good. So confident are the owners
that these properties are good, that
they will bond them to any one who
will take hold of them and work them
properly. When men who own such
properties are willing to take chances
on results, those who have capital to
invest in mines should not hesitate to
open them up. with view of purchas-
ing in case they proved satisfactory.

Death of Louis Martell.

Louis Martell, one of the oldest and
most respected pioneers of Amador
county, died at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. NJ. Riestra, near Gait, on
Friday evening, June 8, 1904, after an
illness of but twelve days.
Mr.. Martell was born at Montreal,
Canada, on March 2, 1920 and at the
time of his death was 81 years and 3
months old. He came to California in
1850, and for p years conducted a
blacksmith business in the town of
Jackson. He then removed to Sutter
Creek and engaged in the same busi-
ness, which he continued to follow until
old age reminded him that he must
give way to others. At the time of his
death he still owned the building
wherein he had earned the means that
enabled him to support a large and in
terestiug family. He was a kind
hearted, generous man. 1t is said of
him that he gave to others enough to
have made him a wealthy man. He
gave because it was a pleasure to him
to give, yet he never boasted OF his
generosity. He spent the last few
years OF his life with his children. It
was while visiting with his youngest
daughter that he accidentally fell from
the bed. striking in such a way as to
cause paralysis. He fingered for twelve
days, and peacefully gave up life's
struggle. surrounded by all his chill
dren. He leaves to mourn his loss one
son, Louis N Martell, OF Martell's sta
tion, four daughters, twenty-five
grandchildren and eighteen great
grandchildren. besides host of friends
who had known him from their child
hood. His remains were inferred in
the Catholic cemetery Monday, by the
side of those of his wife who died sew
eral years ago.

Death of s. B. Redlick.

S. B. Redlick, the treasurer of Red
lick Brothers, Incorporated, died at
Los Angeles Wednesday evening,
after an illness of over four years. Mr..
Redlick suffered from tuberculosis,
which was aggravated by other COM
plications that caused his death. He
spent several years in foreign travel in
a vain endeavor to regain his health.
He was one of the active members Of
the corporation when in health, but of
late years devoted his whole time to
travel. Members of the family were
with him when the sad event occurred,
and accompanied the remains to San
Francisco, where the burial took place
Sunday. The Redlick stores were
closed Saturday out of respect to the
memory of the deceased.

Vandalism.

On Sunday morning, between the
hours of and 3 o'clock, some person
bent on mischief entered the Jackson
stage barn and proceeded in his own
devilish way to destroy whips, har-
ness, cushions and trimmings, think
ing perhaps that he would prevent the
stage from making its daily trip that
day. The damage was discovered in
time however to secure the services
of harness maker, and all necessary
repairs were made in time for the stage
to be off at the appointed hour. Just
what object any person could have in
doing this cannot be conjectured. If
it was for revenge against owner or
driver for some fancied wrong, it was
certainly most cowardly way of seek
ing it. Cutting the harness might en-
danger the lives of many, and perhaps
friends of the one doing the mischief.
On the other hand, if the perpetrator
has the spirit of destruction born
within him, he was working to salts
fy his desire to do something that
would Inconvenience others. Mr..
Raab, the owner OF the stage line, is a
gentleman who by hard work and hon.
est dealings with his fellow man has ac-
cumulated considerable property. He
has no known enemies. and is at a loss
to know why any one should seek to do
him injury. 1t has been his one desire
since purchasing the line to give his
customers the best service possible for
their money. He estimates his i'm
mediate loss at between $50 and $40.
Chris Meiss, the driver, is young
man of ability, a thorough reinsman,
always at his post of duty, ever work.
ing to carry out the instructions of his
employer, and always paying respect
full attention to the requests of those
who take passage with him. Every
effort will be made to bring the per-
petrator or perpetrators of this crime
to justice. 1t may take little time,
but tho clew is strong and the fear of
being grasped by the strong arm OF
justice will be far greater punishment
than to be confined within prison walls

Condition of Roads.

The county roads are now in fairly
good condition throughout the east
ern portion of the county. If the
supervisors have more money at their
disposal during the year, a portion of
it should be reserved for winter use.
When particular spot becomes i'm
passable it should be fixed at once, and
at time when solid foundation can
be put in. To jeopardize life and prop
erty waiting for springtime to form
crust upon which to sprinkle a little
gravel is sometimes hazardous, and a
roadbed repaired in this way is only
temporary.
