Died From Exposure.

At about $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning John Inherit called at the
room of John Danz, who resides in the
building just south of the California
hotel, and found him in dying condi-
ton. DR.. E. V. Lonigo, who happened
to be passing just then, was immedi-
ately called, but as he reached the side
of Mr.. Danz he was breathing his last
and had passed beyond the aid of med
ical skill. The coroner was notified at
once, and when he arrived on the scene
the deceased was found sitting in a
chair, near small table, his head on
his right hand and the arm resting on
the back of the chair, in which position
it seems he had been during the night
previous. On the table was part of
loaf of bread, piece of cheese, and d
burned out candle. No frewood was
found in the room, and the stove gave
no evidences of having been lately
heated. The body was removed to the
undertaking rooms of Huberty & Giov-
annOni. and in the afternoon an in
quest was held At the inquest the
facts were developed that Danz had a
wife and son living at MOkelumne Hill;
that the son was notified about week
ago of his fathers illness, and that it
was known several days by some of his
friends that he was unwell. One of
these friends testified to his knowledge
of the mans illness, and the jury was
disposed to severely censure him for
not notifying the county officials, so
that the man could be properly cared
for The verdict rendered was to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death from heart trouble aggravated
by exposure. For some time Mr..
Danz, owing to family troubles, had
lived alone here, and his life was
greatly similar to that of recluse. He
earned livelihood doing carpenter
work and upholstering. He was born
in Switzerland about 10 or 72 years
ago, and is survived by wife and son.
The remains were taken to Mokelumne
Hill Wednesday, where the funeral and
interment will occur.

Jackson Orchestra Entertains.

Although the affair was very poorly
advertised, very respectable number
Of Jackson's young people attended the
dance given at Loves hall Tuesday
evening under the auspices of the Jack
son orchestra. Although the attend
ance was not as large as it might have
been, the music was all that could have
been desired, and those who were so
fortunate as to be present enjoyed a
delightful evening indeed. The orches-
ira, as announced in this paper some
time ago, is composed of five pieces, in
Guiding a youthful violinist, Master
We'll, whose musical conceptions and
execution is remarkable. Now that its
organization has been perfected, the
jackson orchestra will undertake to
compete with those from the outside,
and since theirs is as good as can be
had anywhere, it is safe to predict that
this organization will furnish all the
music for balls in this county in future.

California, with lifting capacity to a
tiOn Of this hoist it has become nee.
essary to increase the capacity of the
boiler plant. This is being done by
the addition of three new boilers which
are now in place, while the masons are
putting the finishing touches to the
brick work, fire boxes, etc. For two
of these new boilers it has been de-
cided to use, as an experiment, a new
method of heating shat has been used
by the California Powder Works, San
Francisco. It's advantages over that
now used, as explained to us by G. M.
KEN ball. an employe of the Powder
Works Company, who is here superin-
tending its Installation, is the larger
space for com bustion, allowing greater
boiler surface for the heat, a steadier
and more economical feed for the oil,
and simplicity of its mechanism which
materially lessons the lack of keeping
the feeder clean. Should these new
burners prove as practical as is claimed
for them, it is likely the entire plant
will be similarly equipped. The third
of the new boilers is being equipped for
burning wood, and will be used only in
emergencies. At the north shaft ore is
being stopped at the 2200 and 2300 levels,
and at the latter considerable new de-
velopment is being done. The product
from the east shaft keeps 60 stamps
dropping steadily, while that of the
latter supplies material for 40 more,
making total of one hundred. The
entire product of this mine is treated
right on the ground. After the pulp
from the stamps passes over the plates
it is carried to Frue vanners, concen-
trated, and then treated by the chlori-
nation process at the plant of that
character, owned by the company and
located near the north shaft.
THE FRICoT PLANT.-The cyanide
plant near Forest Home was brought
to a standstill for a few days during the
late storm, on account of the high
water interfering with the getting of
the auriferous sands from the creek
1t is again running in full blast. 1t is
understood that the enterprise is pay
ing fair profit. 1t gives employment
to between 20 and 30 men. The tail
ings are subjected to the action of four
cyanide solutions of different strength,
The quantity of tailings to be treated
is said to be sufficient to run the works
for three or four years.
CLIMAX.-Dr. P. B. Aiken. princi-
pal owner of the Climax mine. was in
town last Sunday night en- route from
San Francisco to the mine. He states
that just as soon as the weather will
permit the new hoist for the Climax
will be hauled up and sinking COM
menced. In the meantime, however,
development and production in the tun-
mel and drifts will continue with the
same vigor as in the past. 1t is the in
tention to Immediately establish a
boarding house at the mine, in order
that the miners can get their meals
more conveniently, and in connection
with this library and reading room,
for the intellectual enjoyment of the
men, will be established.

Laid to Rest.

Regardless of the rain and mud the
host of friends, here and at Amador
City, of the late William C. Crocker
turned out en- masse Sunday afternoon
to do the last honors to his memory
The remains were brought to Jackson
from Amador City on Saturday, and
taken to the hall OF the Ancient Order
of Foresters, of which organization he
was member. where they laid in state
until o'clock Sunday afternoon. At
that hour a fraternal ceremony was
performed over the body, after which
it was taken to the Episcopal church,
whence it was accompanied by the sor-
rowing family, his brother Foresters,
and large concourse of people, From
thence began the last earthly journey
to the Protestant cemetery, where the
interment occurred after impressive
services by the Foresters and Rev.
Tuson. The pail bearers were: Chas.
Corin, John Mitchell, John Chinn,
George Tryon, Frank Yolo, and Peter
LeVaZiO.

of the liver. The famous little pills
known as De Wits Little Early Risers
not only cleanse the system but they

While the rainfall so far is in excess
of last year, it must be remembered
that last season February was COM
paratively dry month, the rainfall for
that month only amounting to III
inches. From the 18th to the end of
February only 20 of an inch fell.
March Of 1903, however, was an un-
usually wet monthly far the wettest
of that season. Nearly II inches fell
during that month. After March the
total rainfall for that year only amount
ed to 1.13 inches. 1t is probable that
the total precipitation this year will
equal if not exceed that of the season
of 1923.

A Good Entertainment.

Although the attendance was not
what it possibly might have been at
the Valentine entertainment last Sat-
urday evening, the affair was a marked
success in every other particular. The
program was replete with interesting
features from the rise of the curtain
till it fell at the close of the farce.
''Hobson's Choice" One of the es-
pecially pretty features was the Cupid
drill by eight little girls. At the close
OF the exercises an invitation to sup
per was announced, to which all re-
sponded. Taken as whole this enter
tainment deserved twice or three times
the patronage it received, for either of
its features was well worth the admis-
sion price, and we believe had it been
more generally advertised the results,
financially, would have been far NOR Q
satisfactory.

AGAINST
LOCAL
OPTION
'KrebS Bros. Issue Letter Tel
ling What the Law VIII
Cost Oregon

Krebs Bros, the progressive hop
dealers and growers have received
letter from the president of the
United States Brewing association In
which he says:
"We have been informed that local
option is being agitated in Oregon.
Do you think it has any prospects
of meeting with success? II 1t be-
comes a law then the brewers OF the
United States will buy their hops
principally from other states and for
eign countries"
Messrs, Krebs have issued letter
and we copy the following extracts;
"If it we're not a serious matter AMI
of vital Importance to one of the great
est industries of the state then we
might treat it as huge joke, but as

stantly increasing business of hop
growing, and incidentally effects nu-
merous other enterprises of our fertile

in it's incipiency, for IL 1t should
spread and finally succeed it would de-
prive thousands of family, among
whom are many widows and orphans,
of the necessary means for their win
ter supplies. The notoriety seekers
and self-styled reformers who face
the public with brazen countenance,
and eat the honey the bees gather,
could benefcially spend the month of
September in hop yards, to see what
a blessing and benefit this industry
is to the deserving laboring class, as
hundreds of families earn sufficient
money in hop fields to cloth, school
and support themselves during the
winter. In 1903 Oregon produced
$4,000 bales of hops which at an aver
age price of 20 cents per pound aggre-
gated $S,4S0000. Those who culti-
waited and picked the crop we're paid
8 cents per pound, or $1,4S0,00O. The
balance was distributed among cred
itors and put in improvements. 1t is
only a question of ten or fifteen years
until our state will be the greatest
hop producing country on earth. The
money derived from this product
comes from other states and foreign
countries, and nearly every dollar re-
mains here. The local optionists
have imported prohibitionists to tell
the people of Oregon how to conduct
their business.
The voters of Oregon have been
benefited by the misfortune of Texas,
Kansas and other states where local
option has ruined business. The re-
suits in those states after local option
took effect was simply appalling.
Many of the large manufacturers
had to remove to other states, and
those unfortunate ones who did not
have sufficient means to move had to
take the benefit of the bankruptcy
law. Did drunkenness decrease? MOI
On the contrary it increased! After
the local option law passed people
bought liquor by the gallon and bar
rel, whereas, before 1t was served by
the glass. We have all the local OPP
tion we desire.
