Baseball.

Sundays game between the Placer
vile and Jackson teams was an inter-
esting one to the average spectator.
The score, II to 13, if taken alone would
indicate that the game was not what it
should have been, but few slight
errors on the part OF two or three was
the cause OF the large score. Still these
errors created intense excitement when
ever they occurred. Four times in
succession did the Placerville team face
pitcher Hopkins and return again with
out scoring. Mr.. Pitt also sent the
Jackson boys back several times with
a goose egg to their credit. Mr.. Har-
mon deserves much praise for the man
ner in which be clnng to ths hot ones
pitched by Hopkins without any prac-
tice for several seasons. The visiting
boys were skillful players, aud the
Jackson nine as it lined up Sunday will
make the best Of them worthy foe
before the season closes. Following is
the score:

Prompt Payment.

Last week Mrs. Arthur Stone, OF
Amador City, received from the K. o.
7. M. of the world a check for $1,000,
being the amount due on the policy
carried by the late Arthur Stone. The
check was received by return mail after

fed. This was prompt work. and

do as to the fair dealing and ability of
the organization to adjust its losses.
Mr.. Stone was a member of Amador
Tent No. 65 just twelve months. He
had paid 81 dues and $126O assess
ments, making $3.50 in all. In return

RUNS BY INNINGS.
Big improvements Contemplated.

1t is reported that the Standard
Electric Company, or rather its sue
cessors, the California Gas and Electric
Corporation, contemplate making ex-
tensive improvements and additions to
the electric plant at Electra, and the
water supply connected Herewith.
Rumor has it that the works in this
county are to be maintained as the
principal source of electric energy.
Another pipe line and plant is talked
of; the canals and reservoirs are to be
enlarged, and other improvements
made. The possibilities of this region
as the source Of electric power are fully
appreciated. The present works are
running to their full capacity night and
day Some 20 men are at present en-
ployed in preliminary work. 1t is be-
lieved that the improvements mapped
out will extend over several years, and
will add immensely to the capacity of
the company, besides giving steady
employment to much larger force of
men.

NOTES FROM
GOLD MINES

MADRONE-The promoters of this
mine expect to have the mill in opera
tion by the first of July.
LINCoLN-Superihtendent Ross of
the Wildman. Mahoney mine has put
on crew of men at the Lincoln, get
ting everything in readiness to use the
shaft and machinery in working the
Mahoney.
WILDMAN-MAHONE laying
idle for months Superintendent Ross
now feels confident that these prop
critics will be re-opened and prospected
on a larger scale than ever. This will
be welcome news to many persons
throughout Amador county.
FREMONT -GovER-The situation re-
mains unchanged. The property has
been shut down for nearly two months,
and will remain so for months to come
if necessary. The strike was brought
about without just cause, and must of
necessity fail.
GLENN-We hear that the output
during the last month was the most
satisfactory yet realized. The mill will
be shut down some time in August, or
as soon as the water supply runs short.
After enlarging the mill steam power
will be used during the fall months.
J. Champion arrived in Jackson from
Dunsmuir. He is the owner of the
Champion mine in Hunts gulch, ad-
joining the Amador Queen No. l on

left Sunday morning, after shipping a
quantity of ore, taken as fair sample
of the quartz from this property, for
the purpose of getting capitalists inter-
ested in opening up this promising
claim. He holds out the hope that the
mine will be started up ere long.

conveyances went to Jackson Sunday
to see the ball game. They came back
rejoicing that the Jacksons won, as
four of our boys played with them.
We could organize first class home
team if we had suitable grounds near
town.
Toby Marsino had an exciting run
away with the jackson and Volcano
stage down the Pine Grove hill Satur-
day. In some way trace came un-
fastened, and striking one of the horses
on the legs caused it to become unman-
ageable. AS it happened no passengers
we're on board, and Toby escaped in
jury by jumping before the stage
tipped. A messenger was sent to Pine
Grove for assistance, and the male
population turned out to man, and
soon had everything in running order
again.
Mr.. Devencenzi, who has lived here
many years, had a pleasant surprise
last week. Two brothers whom he
had never met called to pay him visit.
He was overjoyed to see them. They
wgte born after he left the mother
country for America. They are now
engaged in business in San Francisco,
and Mr.. Devencenzi is miner in Vol
cano. All returned to their work Mon
day, with assurances that they would
meet frequently in the future.
The placer claims will probably close
the seasons work by July 4th. Sew
eral prospecting tunnels will be run
during the summer. Marsino & Sons
will fill their dump with gravel so as
to be ready for big cleanup when
the first rains come.

Death of josiah Gundry.

Josiah Gundry, of Amador City, a
man we'll and favorably known through
out Amador county, passed away at
his home Monday morning, at the ad-
vanced age of 10 years. Mr.. Gundry
was native of England, but came to
this country when quite young man,
and succeeded in amassing a comfort
able fortune. He was man of liberal
education, and great lover of poetry
and song. His memory was most re-
markable. 1t was his delight to enter
tain friends by reciting favored selec-
tions from all the famous poets. At
different times he sought political
favors with varied success. For many
years he held the position of justice of
the peace in Amador City, and his de-
cisions were always the best judgment
of an honest man. His wife preceded
him by many years, and his only
daughter died less than year ago.
He leaves to mourn his death a Uum Der
of grandchildren, who have made their
home with him for several years. His
interment took place Wednesday, at 2
o'clock p. m.. in the Amador cemetery.
In the death of Judge Gundry the
county loses another one of its pioneer
citizens. One by one these venerable
men are passing away Their active
lives are being brought to al honor
able close. The great majority Of them
we're, and are, men of superior intel
lectual attachments, and their in tluences
will be felt for generations to come.
They assisted in laying the foundation
OF our county and state; they builded
upon a solid foundation The fruits of
their labor are now being garnered by a
younger generation. May they reap a
just reward in the great beyond.

The Railroad.

Much comment, some favora BILE, some
unfavorable, regarding the lone and
Eastern Railroad can be heard upon
the streets. Not wishing to impose a
batch of hear-says upon our readers we
took the pains to interview one of the
parties interested, and learned that a
definite route had been selected and
that crew of sixteen surveyors were
again in the field reviewing the route,
and taking and marking the grades
preparatory to the beginning of work.
That as soon as the surveyors notified
the management that the survey was
far enough along for grading to begin
it would actually be begun, and the
road completed as soon as possible
The route selected runs from lone to
Martell's station. The company gave
all routes a thorough investigation,
and decided that this was the most
feasible one. We hope no one will kick
about this, no matter where they live
Or how much or little use they have for
the road. 1t could not be built to run
past every mans door, or through
every farmers grain field. Patronize
the depot nearest your home; be salts
fed if you have been helped just little,
and if the road has not benefited you
at all it will certainly do you no injury.
Let us get the road as far as the station
during the coming year, and then if
the promoters feel tired and need a
little rest don't worry. Let them sit
down and think over the proposition.
The road from Jackson to the station
is good, and from the station on to
Sutter is good. If we show our ap-
probation of small favors we will, In
time, be granted larger ones.

Going to Europe.

N. Marelia, who has run grocery
business in Jackson during the past
five years, having disposed of his busi-
ness here, intends starting Sunday on
trip through the eastern states and
Europe. Mr.. Marelia has lived for
nine years in the United States, and
says there is no other country for him,
but he cannot foregO the opportunity
of seeing the st. Louis exposition and
at the same time visiting his father
who lives in Hungaria. He expects to
be gone somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of ten months. Some of his gen.
tlemen friends accuse him of going back
for the purpose of escorting his best
lady friend to America. Nick only
laughs and says, Watch for the stage
when you hear am coming.
