The Liquor License Question Postponed

The following petition was presented
to the board of supervisors at the meet
ing last Monday. J. W. Caldwell rep
resented the petitioners, but in the
absence of the district attorney the
board deemed it iuadvisable to take
any decisive action thereon. The mat
ter was postponed until Saturday,
April 10th, at which time a special
meeting has been called to consider the
question. 1t is expected. that the dis
trict attorney will then be present:
To the honorable board of super
visors of the county of Amador, state
of California Whereas, at meeting
OF this honorable board, held on the
1st day of February, 1904. ordinance
number 115 regulating the liquor busi-
ness of this county, was passed by this
honorable board to go into effect the
1st day of May, 1904.
And whereas when said ordinance
was passed, the undersigned liquor
dealers and property owners, who are
directly affected by the provisions of
said ordinance, did not know the pro
visions thereof, and were not heard at
said meeting, and we're not aware that
said ordinance would have damaging
effect upon their business and property
interests, but after due consideration
he undersigned are convinced that the
said ordinance, if it goes into effect as
passed, will work great hardship
upon them, and will be detrimental to
their business and property interests,
while it will not have the effect it was
originally intended to have.
We therefore respectfully petition
your honorable board to amend said
ordinance by striking out the pro-
visions thereof requiring each appi-
cant for liquor license to furnish a
bond in the sum of $1,000. the consent of
ten out of 20 freehOlders, taxpayers
and heads of families nearest his place
of business, and the publication of the
petition as required by said ordinance.
This petition was signed by ll3 citi-
Zens.

NOTES FROM
THE MINERS

ZEILA.-We were in error last week
in saying that the mill was closed down
on account of the increased flow Oi
water, incident to the heavy rains,
making it impracticable to keep the
water down and the mill supplied with
rock at the same time. Only twenty
stamps out of the 40 were hung up
temporarily. The surface water will
no doubt rapidly diminish with the al
vent OF fine weather. and the mine run
ming to its full capacity in few days.
SANDPILE MINE.-Owing to the
high water, the cyaniding operations
at the Saudpile mine, near Forest
Home. we're suspended for several
days. A report was published in Gala
veras that the works had been seriously
damaged. This, we are pleased to
state, was an exaggeration. The
trouble was that on account of the
abundance of water it was impracti-
cable to get the auriferous sand to
operate the plant, so work was tenn
porarily suspended. One of the en-
ployes was seen this week, who had
been laid off for this cause. 1t was ex-
pected, however, to resume operations
in full force early this week. Accord
ing to all reports the plant is working
successfully. leaving good margin of
profit over all expenses.
MISCELLANEOUS. leila is run
ming, on account Of the increased water
to contend with, three engineer shifts
of hours each. ]. A. Wrigglesworth,
formerly of the Keystone, is employed
as one of the engineers.
The Climax mine, near Clinton, is
again running. 1t was closed for
awhile on account of the bad roads
making it impossible to haul wood to
supply the furnace. They have lately
secured supply of fuel, and mine and
mill are running with good prospects
Geo. w. Horn, of the Horn mine at
O0l0DuoT. was III JdChSOu early GQlS
week. He expects to start up the Horn
claim in short time.
AT the Del Monte mine in Calaveras
county, under the management of Geo.
[. Wright of Jackson, the big cross-cut
tunnel has been advanced to the 2OOO-
foot limit-where it was expected to
encounter the main ledge. At last ac-
counts there was noticeable increase
in the water-which is indicative of a
near approach to the ledge.
At the Kennedy mine some anxiety
has been caused because OF the appear
ance of some superficial cracks in the
drum of the hosting works of the
east shaft. Geo. Ames, a machinist
from San Francisco, was here this week
as an expert to look into the matter.
We are informed that the cracks were
declared of little consequence, in no
way interfering with the working of
the machinery.

Captured in San Francisco.

On the 18th of March a row occurred
in the neighbOrhoOd of Jackson Gate
in which an italian named Alfredi
Ridolfi drew razor upon a brother
Italian. Avanzini was arrested in con-
nection with the affair, but Ridolfi, the
handspring of the trouble, thought it
advisable to skip out. He was traced
by the officers here to Calaveras coun-
ty, and thence to San Francisco, and
the authorities were duly apprised of
the fact that the man was wanted in
Amador county. Nothing coming of
these methods, Sheriff Norman con-
cluded to take trip to the city him
self on this particular mission. Satur-
day last he posted himself at corner
of Dupont and Broadway, and patiently
waited for his man to put in an appear
ance. Hours passed, but the wanted
man failed to materialize. About 5
O'Clock in the evening, however, he
saw Ridolfi among the passers by, and
at once placed him under arrest. At
first the prisoner protested that the
officer was mistaken, and was inclined
to make trouble. Norman, however,
told him that it was useless to resist,
and displayed a pair of handouts, at
the sight of which Ridol6 weakened,
and agreed to go with him peaceably
if the officer would not handcuff him.
He was landed in the San Francisco
lookup that night, and next morning
the sheriff and his prisoner left for
Jackson, arriving here that evening.
Ridoli is now in jail, awaiting trial on
a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon.

HANDED RURAL MAIL ROUTE CAR
 HEIRS BY CONGRESS-.
Nice Increase in Salaries, But 1t Will Only Apply to a Very Small
 Number.

Washington Special to Louisville Cour-
 fer Journal.
 Carriers on the 25.00O rural free de- livery mail routes throughout the country are just waking up to the fact that they have been buncoed by the paternal Congress that, last winter expressed such a fatherly interest in these hardworked public servants. After a flow of lachrymose oratory and satisfying statistics. Congress incor- porated in the postoffice bill section increasing the salary of rural carriers to mot more than" $720 a year, sal aries being at that time $500 a year In order to improve the service, 1t was claimed. the privilege enjoyed by car riers of adding a little to their in- comes by acting as agents for news papers and magazines was cut off, as was also the privilege of taking or ders for medicines, or small house. hold necessities, for their patrons. provided such articles could be mail ed. The new law went into effect July 1.
 It now develops that all carriers are not to receive the salary of $720 a year in fact, very few carriers will re- ceive it. The Postohlce Department has ruled that the salary of $720 ap- plies to carriers whose routes are twenty-four miles or more in length; those with shorter routes must be con- tent with less salary. For instance, the carrier whose route is twenty three miles long will get STOP only; twenty miles. $64S; and so on down to eight or ten miles, the salary on these routes being $4S2
