Fatal Accident at Bunker Hill.

An Italian named Bernard Maggeora
lost his life in the Bunker Hill mine
on Wednesday evening. He was en-
ployed as skip tender, his duty being
to load the skip with ore at the various
stations. At the time of the fatal mis-
hap he was at the 1400 level. Just how
the accident happened is not known,
as there was no one present at that
point but himself. 1t is thought he
was standing on the center brace, ex-
pecting the skip down one compart-
ment, but by mistake gave the signal
which brought down the skip in the
other compartment. In attempting to
escape he was crushed between the
skip and the apron Or timbers. Nearly
every rib was broken, and the vital
organs were injured. He was speedily
rescued and sent to the surface. He
did not fall down the shaft from the
1400 level. He was unconscious from
the time of the accident until he died.
DR.. Staples of Amador City was sum-
moued, but nothing could be done to
avert a fatal ending. He died about 8
O'Clock Thursday morning, seven hours
after receiving the injuries. Deceased
was native of Italy, 46 years of age,
and had worked at the Bunker Hill for
two years. Coroner Huberty held an
inquest yesterday at Bunker Hill, the
jury finding verdict of accidental
death,

Notable Birthday Party.

A noteworthy birthday celebration
was held at the residence of L. N. Mar
tell at Martell's station on Wednesday,
March 2, in honor of the 84th ami
versary of the birth of L. Martell sen.,
who is one of the Oldest pioneer resi-
dents of Amador county. L. Martell
was born in Canada, March 2, 1920. In
the fall of 1S49 he started for California,
making the trip by sea via Cape Horn.
He arrived in Jackson in the spring of
1850, and has lived in Amador county
ever since. He worked at his trade of
blacksmithing until he reached the age
of 76 years. He has raised family OF
10 children, and has % grandchildren
and 20 grandchildren. The
greater part of this large family partic-
ipated in the birthday party this week.
All had an enjoyable time, and ex-
pressing their earnest wishes that the
aged sire may be spared to participate
in many more pleasant gatherings of
like character, and that his life may
be as happy and enjoyable in the future
as it has been in the past.

Accident at zeila.

During Sunday night an unfortun ate
accident occurred at the Zella mine,
necessitating not only the stoppage of
underground operations, but also the
shutting down of the mill. The heavy
rains had caused serious increase in
the volume of water to contend with,
so that the two shifts of IL hours each,
were changed to three shifts of eight
hours each, necessitating the employ
ment of another engineer. r. Colds
worthy, the new engineer, was at the
engine, and was hosting water from
the south compartment. The water
tank was hoisted too far, and struck
the timbers above the shaft with such
force as to break the wire cable, and
the tank, weighing 5000 pounds, went
down the shaft with about 100 feet or
so of rope. 1t fell from the top to the
$50 level, striking the shaft tim mbers and
track in various places. and doing
more or less damage to both. The
water tank is also damaged consider
ably. On account of the Increase of
water, the hosting of ore had been
curtailed to the extent of only being
equal to meeting the actual crushing
capacity of the mill. The ore in the
bins was soon exhausted, and the mill
has been idle since Monday morning.
A repair force of five men each was
kept steadily at work fixing the shaft.
The damage was found to be mainly
below the $50 station. On Tuesday
the shaft was got in working order
again.
Hosting the water in the undamaged
compartment was resumed during Mon
day. The repairs were made by Tues
day, and both tanks were going again
Tuesday night. The tank that went
down the shaft was damaged so that
it had to be sent to Knights foundry
to be repaired. The water in the shaft
raised rapidly during the period of
idleness, completely flooding the 400
level. 1t will take all the week to
drain it so as to permit work to be re-
sumed. Next week it is expected to
resume underground operations and
start the mill. The accident has in
volved the company in a loss of from
! $500 to $1,000, beside the loss in the
stOppage of the mill,

Miners Union Election.

The semi-annual election of officers
of Jackson Miners Union No. 115.
w. F. M, took place last Wednesday
between the hours Of 2 p. M, and s
p. m. All the afternoon there was a
stream OF voters to the union head
quarters on Court street. The chief
interest centered in the contest for Sec
retary. III. Gobish, who has held the
secretaryship for two terms, was a
candidate for reelection. His oppon-
ent was John Lepava, an Austrian
miner, who has worked in the leila
mine. He cut rather poor figure in
the voting however, being beaten by
over to 1. The total numbe of votes
cast was 240. The result of the vote
was as follows: For president Tom
Canepa and H. Osborne of Kennedy
fiat were contestants. Canepa was
elected with vote of 1877 against As for
his opponent. For vice president there
were three candidates, namely, A..
Heller, who was elected with 129 votes,
W. A. Jewell II, S. Wilson. 81. For
secretary the vote was as follows: H.
Gobish 176 votes, John Lepava Sc.
Outer warden, John Ferry 127, j. B.
Martell 100. The following officers
were elected without opposition: Re-
cording Secretary, 7. T. Hockings; In
side Warden, ]. Milogevich; Trustees,
FL. Osborne and J. M. Flaherty. Phil
Roberts is hold-over trustee.

Standard Electric Company Absorbed.

The California Gas and Electric Cor
poration has purchased the Standard
Electric Company and Blue Lakes
Water Company, whose works are
mostly in this county. The deal went
into effect on the first OF this month.
The purchase price is not given out.
The purchasing company is in control
of nearly all the plants in the northern
part of the state furnishing electric
power to the cities around the bay, and
also of large number of gas plants.
From its various plants it is now sup
plying $4,000 horse power, and this
enormous energy can be more than
doubled as the demand for additional
power arises. What effect the absorp-
tiOn of the Standard Electric will have
upon this county remains to be seen.
Whether the large improvements at
the head OF the system at Blue lakes
will be pushed to completion, or
whether they will remain dormant, we
do not know. The Amador county
electric and water system is now part
and parcel of the biggest light and
power corporation on the Pacific Coast.

]. B. TreglOan was through Jackson
Monday morning. His mission is to

used for crushing rock in the

there is such an implement in the

Old Resident of Plymouth Passes Away

William Felker, the well-known
blacksmith of Plymouth, died in San
Francisco, at the residence of rela-
tive, on Saturday last. He had been
suffering from a disease of the stomach b
for several years. Some weeks ago he
went to Sacramento to consult with
physicians there, who told him that
his trouble was cancer of the stomach.
He thereafter went to San Francisco,
and was under medical treatment there
when the last summons came. He was
able to be around almost to the last,
A few hours before he died he had
been out, and on his return he seemed
to collapse suddenly, and death ensued
in a short time. The remains were
forwarded to Plymouth for interment,
and the funeral took place last Mon
day. He leaves several grown-up chill

Rain occurred during February on
IS days, the total for the month
amounting to 11.S2 inches. This is the
champion record both in the number
of rainy days and in the total rainfall
of any month since we have kept the
record, extending over a period of
many years. In the storm of 1923
the record for March was IA days, and
1892 inches for the month. In
February, 1902, there were Is rainy
days, but the total for the month was
only 8.35 inches. The comparatively
warm temperature that prevailed dur
ing the last storm brought down the
snow from considerable distance up
the mountains, helping to swell the
enormous rush of water into the val
leys. The lowlands of Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys are under water,
and immense damage has been done in
the overhowed districts.

CIin of Natural Glass.

A cliff of natural glass can be seen in
Yellowstone park, Wyoming. 1t is half
a mile long and from $50 to 200 feet
high. the material of which it consists
being as good glass as that artifcially
manufactured. The dense glass which
forms the base is from 75 to 100 feet
thick, while the upper portion, having
suffered and survived many ages Of
wind and rain, has naturally worn
much thinner. OF course the color of
the cliff is not that of natural glass
transparent and white-but is mostly
black and in some places mottled and
streaked with brown,sh red and shades
of olive green and brown.
