DELAYED FREIGHT.

The urgent need of improved
means of transportation of freight
to the mining towns has been signally
Illustrated the past few weeks by
the conditions prevailing at Jack
son, and we presume other towns
along the lode. Just now the mer-
chants are complaining on account
of the non-receipt of goods, owing
to the impossibility of getting them
hauled from lone. At the railroad
depot the congestion of freight is de-
plorable. We are told that hun
dreds of tons of goods of all classes
have accumulated at the depot,
awaiting transportation to Jackson
and other towns. There are only
four teams hauling general freight
from lone to Jackson-three of Pic
cardo's aud one belonging to c..
Dufrene. While these may be ade-
quate to handle the business during
=
the summer months, or. while the
roads are in fair condition, they are
utterly inadequate at the present
time. The road is in such shape
from the con tinuous rains, that not
more than half load can be
brought, and it takes three days to
make the round trip-double the
time that is required under normal
conditions. The effect of this state
of affairs upon the business in nterests
of this section may be readily
imagined. Some merchants have
had their goods lying at the depot
for the last two weeks, and there is
no telling when they can be hauled.
Heavy freight like sugar, flour, etc.,
is delayed because of its weight.
One business house has 20 tons lying
at lone. Livery stables also find it
difficult to get grain and other pro-
visions hauled. In fact there is a
general outcry in this respect. The
situation is SO acute that some bust

ness men are talking of hiring
special teams to bring up their
goods. There is little prospect of
relief until the weather settles, and
the road gets in better condition.
In spite of the vast sums of money
spent on the road between here aud
lone, that thoroughfare to-day is in
a desperately bad condition. The
impression is now general that
unless system is devised to secure
much better results for the money
expended than heretofore, it is i'm
possible to keep it in anything like
shape. The heavy traffic will wear
it out faster than the funds avail
able can keep it in repair. 1t is a
hopeless task, as far as permanent
Improvement goes. We have spent
enough money on this road during
the past ten or twelve years to have
graded and laid the roadbed for a
brOadgauge railroad. OF course,
while it is the only means of COM
munication we have, we are bound
to do what we can to keep it up
The people all over the county are
getting thoroughly tired of trying
to fill up such seemingly bottom
less pit. The only relief is a rail
road to take off the heavy traffic
that neutralizes all efforts to main
tain it as passable wagon road.

How is This for Home Interests.

The Dispatch man visited Stockton
last week. He secured two or three
small ads for his paper from business
firms in that city. On his return home,
speaking of the alertness of Stock ton
for business, he says:
Several of these enterprising men and
firms have become aware of the fact
that Amador county possesses quite an
important element of trade, and are
making an effort to secure at least a
portion of it by Offering inducements
that we think it would be to the ad
vantage of our people to accept.
This is certainly an eye-opener for
the business houses of Jackson, who
are the main support of the local
papers. To accept advertising from
the outside is legitimate business. Ad-
vertising space is commodity to be
sold to whoever will buy, just the same
as the merchandise in a store. It is
the province of the local paper, how
ever, in its editorial columns to seek to
build up home trade. This policy is
dictated by every consideration ol
loyalty and self-interest. To recon-
mend in all seriousness that the people
OF jackson give their patronage to
Stockton in preferance to home indus
tries, is sample of going back upon
'our people, which is rarely equalled
in California journalism.

Amador has done absolutely nothing
to have her resources fittingly repre-.
sented at that great worlds fair. I'm
less stir is made, and made quickly
this opportunity will be allowed to &c
by default, and such an outcome would
be reflection upon our enterprise with,
out parallel in California. The
supervisors have made no step in this
direction, Notwithstanding that the
subject has been repeatedly broached
1t is not too late to make showing
even at this eleventh hour. Why not
get move on. The following letter
addressed to j. B. Tregloan, who has
manifested much interest in this direc.
tion, is published as matter of public
concern:
March IL, 1904.
MR.. JOHN B. TREGLOAN.
Dear Sir:
Referring to our conversation re
garding $3.50 nugget picked up recently
at Volcano in your county, it has oc.
CURED to me that if this nugget could
be secured, it would make a splendid
item for our California Mining Exhibit,
and one which could be turned to good
account, not only for Amador county
but for the state at large, as dispelline
the idea that the day of gold nugget
finding in California had passed. I'm
agine nugget labeled as found at Vol
cano, Amador county, such and such &
date. People would be attracted by it,
and the natural expression would be-sii
see they are still picking up gold mug
gets in California"-and the conclusion
would be that Volcano, where it wa,
found, must be rich locality.
| If the nugget is sent to us we will re
ceipt for it, and l have no doubt what.
ever but that it will be returned a,
directed, but, of course, with sucl
specimens there is always a little appre
hension created by the possibility O.
doubt as to its safety, and if the owner
considers there is any risk, the county
might very consistently buy it from
him, and send it to us to be DISPLAYED
as indicated. l cannot imagine any
thing that the county could do for the
same money that will result in greater
benefit by way of emphasizing its min.
eral resources, and fixing the name oi
Amador as a mining county on the
minds of thousands of visitors to the
Worlds Exposition.
If this nugget is secured as suggested,
it may be sent to US by express, ad
dressed California State Building,
Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis, Mo.
Very truly yours,
j. A. FILCHER.
