that is Catarrah. Halls Catarrah Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrah be-
ing constitutional disease, requires a

rah Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surface of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
and giving the patient strength by

RAILROAD PROJECTS.

There are several schemes being
talked of at present, aiming at the
extension of railroad facilities to the
mineral belt, with terminals at Jack
son and Sutter Creek. What gives
these projects prominence just now
is the fact that electric power for
the operation of line between the
mining belt and lone is idle, and
anxiousfy looking to this source for
utilization. The American River
Electric Company has ample energy
at its disposal, and is now seeking
outlets for its power in Amador
county. The operation of railway
offers perhaps the most inviting field
for the utilization of such power. It
is claimed that an electric road can
be built at much lower cost than a
steam road. Grades which would
offer serious difficulties to a steam
locomotive, are trifing matters in
electric traffic. The Sutter Creek
Record reports that Edward Rec
ords, representing the American
Company, is at present in lone; that
the main object of his visit is to in
terest the people of the county in an
electric railrord. His proposition is
stated as follows:
Mr.. Records simply asks the people
to take stock to the extent of $40, 900
and he will place the rest. 1t is esti-
mated that $50, 900 will build first
class electric railway from lone to the
mining center, and If our citizens will
take stock to the extent of $40. 900. or
one-fourth the entire, Mr.. Records
offers to place bonds at 5 per cent for
the other three-fourths or $50. OOO
From the Americrn River Electric Co.
sufficient power can be secured for
$500 per month, and from this amount
$500 per month will be realized in re-
turn by the sale OF light and power to
lone, guaranteed by Mr.. Records. The
total expense for conducting the rail-
road is estimated at $500 per month.
These figures may be somewhat
rosy colored. If they are anyway
near the mark, and the proposition
is otherwise fair and equitable to
subscribers to the capital stock,
there ought to be little trouble in
securing $40, 900 of local capital as a
starter. The freight traffic over the
lone road even now runs up into
astonishing figures, and would allow
an ample margin of profit even
though the original cost of construc-
tion were placed at double or treble
the estimate above stated. The
people of the mining section, judg-
ing from the general talk, are in the
right mood to help the project along.
They fully realize that a railroad is
the one thing lacking to develop the
manifold resources of our favored
county. We would prefer to see the
entire capital stock in the hands OF
local investors. Let us hope the
persistent railroad agitation that is
being indulged in at present, will re-
suit in the scheme taking definite
and practical shape in the immediate
future.

be no more harm in these things, in
themselves, whether witnessed in
conjunction with drinking resort
or elsewhere. But it is the drinking
that it tends to encourage that is
feared. That being so, the path of
the moralist and reformer is plain.
Why not start the amusement place,
without the drinking attached to it.
Would it not be as attractive to the
pleasure lover, and tend to weaken
the saloon system. The truth re-
mains, that in large town like Jack
son, with 1000 people, there is not a
single place man can spend an
evening in recreative amusement
and social chat outside of the fra
ternal societies and the saloons. 1t
is this lack that gives backbone and
strength to the saloon business, and
furnishes the recruiting ground for
the tippling habit.

MINERS STRIKE.

The Force at the Rawhide Demand an
Increase of Pay.
The 100 miners employed at the
Rawhide mine went out on strike last
Wednesday.
This mine is within the jurisdiction
Of jamestown Union, under whose
auspices the strike is being conducted
1t was declared for the purpose oi
securing an increase to the daily wage
paid engineers, miners and muckers.
The rate of wages heretofore paid at
the Rawhide has been as follows:
Engineers So, miners $2.75 muckers
S2.25. The demand is for an increase
OF 25 cents per day for each class of
workers. An increase is also asked for
other surface employees.
Capt. w. A. Nevills, the owner oil
the Rawhide, has been having trouble
with the unions for the past year. He
Is also owner of the App mine al
Quartz, which has been practically
closed down for the past year. owing to
the fact that the Captain would not
accept the scale of wages adopted by
the union and accepted by other mine
owners OF that section. A few weeks
ago an attempt to open the App with
non-union miners failed. Last Satur.
day the mine started up with limited
force without any regard being paid
the standing demands of the union,
and up to the present writing no inter.
ference with its operation has been re.
ported.
It is said that the unions are deter.
mined to make the wage scale uniform
all along the line, but Captain Nevills
seems to regard their Interference and
demands as presumptuous and refuses
to treat with them at all in the premis-
es.-Snora Democrat.

Big Bar Bridge.

Garbarini Bros. have taken the con-
tract from Mrs. Gardella to replace the
old wooden portion of Big Bar bridge
with steel structure, making it an all
iron bridge. The entire length of the
bridge is $40 feet; 230 feet of which
span has been constructed of steel.
The remaining 40 feet is the portion
covered by the present contract. The
work is being done at the Garbarini
machine shop on Water street. and it
is expected to have the iron work all
ready by the latter part of this week.
The lumber for the sleepers and floor,
however, is coming from Oregon, and
some delay will be caused in the receipt
of this material. When this improve
ment is made, this bridge will rank
among the finest structures of the kind
in Amador county.
