DIR. A. P. Griffith from Mariposa
county, has been in jackson this
week with an idea of locating here
in practice of medicine. He has
wife and child, and has rented the
residence of G. M. Kelly at the cor
ner of Court and Church streets.
Mrs. E. Endicott left this week for
short visit with friends in San
Francisco.
There are new business enterprises
being started in jackson every week.
There is talk of another photographer
also ice cream parlor, and other
branches of business.
The Notwithstanding suit is still in
progress in San Francisco. Some of
the parties interested are expected
here tonight to pay visit to the
mine at Middle Bar.
John j. Trimble, an old pioneer,
died in the county hospital this
morning, at the advanced age of 80
years. He was native of New
York, and a veteran of the civil war.
He came to Amador county in early
days. For several years, owing to
the feebIeness incident to old age,
he has been in the county hospital,
and was able to be around the
grounds until within two weeks of
his death. 1t is thought he overex-
eIted himself in an effort to visit
town, and took to his bed immedi-
ately thereafter, and passed away as
above stated.
See our ad. for this week, we are
going to give you some good bar
gains. jackson Shoe Sto ore.
H. G. Murray, the machinist who

THE DELINQUENT TAX LIST.

The delinquent tax list is publish
ed on our outside pages. 1t il the
longest document of this nature from
the tax collectors office that has
been published for several years. 1t
contains over 30 names. This is
over ten per cent of the total mum ber
of taxpayers in the county. About
one property holder out of every nine
on an average is on the defaulting
record, This Is anyih hing but credit
able showing. 1t will be noticed that
very heavy proportion of the delin-
quents consists of small property
holders owing less THAI 81 tor taxes.
1t serve to briug iuto strong relief
the fact that the small holders have
the hardest time in scrariug together
the few dollars necessary TO square
themselve on the books of the coun
ty. 1t must be explained, however,
that many OF the deIinquents appear
Oh the list tor failure to pay poll
tax. All those owing S4 so belong to
this class. They have paid their pro
perty tax, but failing TO pay poll tax
their property is advertised just the
same as though they had failed to
pay any portion of ;axes. So that
those holding tax receipts, who find
their names published as delinquents,
will understand where the trouble
lies. This is the first year we believe
that the practice has been adopted of
advertising property on account of
poll tax. But the law is plain
enough. The poll tax is lien
against the real estate, precisely the
same as the regular property tax.
A non property holder can avoid pay
ing poll tax; but the property hold
or cannot; he must pay or stand the
risk of losing his realty for failure
so to do. Last year the delinquent
list comprised 19O odd names, so that
there is an increase of 40 names in
this years list.

MINING NOTES.

Kennedy this mine, we are able
to state that the drilt at the 2750
level, which has been run west for
several months, encountered the ore
body on Tuesday For serveral weeks
the face had reached the point where
it was thought the ledge would be
struck, and as the work was pushed
far beyond the point, misgivings were
INDUCED in about the outlook. All
fears have proved baseless. The ore
is there, and from what has been seen
it is believed to be- of fair grade.
This gives 200 feet of stopping ground.
The shaft is now to be sunk 200 feet
deeper, making total depth of 5000
feet.
Bay State. are pleased to state
that the shutdown of this property is
merely temporary. The rock is of fair
grade, averaging about S4 per ton, and
the ore body is from four to seven
feet thick, with shoot $50 i'll length.
An expert in the interest of G. ID.
Lane, the we'll known miuing man
and capitalist, has been examining
some mining properties around Plym-
outh, especially the Orr ledge, which
shows up very strong from the crop
pings and the superficial work that
has been done upon it. South of the
shaft the ledge has width OF 8 feet.
and extends 80 feet il length. 1t is
claimed that this is the continuation
of the Empire and Alpine lode.
f. Nj. Potter has sold half inter
est in his ranch near Plymouth for
mining purposes.
Horn.-G. W. Horn has been doing
some work on the HON mine, near
the Defender He sunk a shaft % feet,
showing up ledge matter FIVE feet
wide. He is hampered in his opera
tions from lack of funds, as the assess
ment recently levied upon the stock
only left few dollars for develop
ment work, after paying the lndebt-
edness.
friedrich and Leslie. who are open
ing the Modoc mine iu Pioneer dis
trict, are crushing over 100 tons of ore
at the Mace mill. 1t is reported to be
yielding we'll.
Mr.. Congdon, who is the heaviest
dealer in soapstone in the state. and
who was here about two months ago,
and inspected the tale and soapstone
deposits hereabouts, came up from
the city last week. He had four men
working Saturday on the Moon ranch,
two miles north of town, the object
being to locate workable depusit of
this mineral. They succeeded in un-
covering one ledge that promises to
prove valuable, and to open up a
new source of industry, under the
stimulus of the railroad.
The new Zeile hoisting works is all
flushed, ready for making the
change 1t is probable that the
change will not be made until next
month, as it will involve a shutdown
of two weeks.

The Weather Bureau Predicts Return
to Disagreeable Conditions,

Pedestrians about the city wore smiling
faces today, in harmony with the smiling
countenance of nature-the clear skies, the
sunshine and comparatively balmy atmos-
phere. The happiness of humanity at the
change from ice and snow. gloom ana
north pole temperature, to the prevailing
springlike conditions was shown In many
ways. but the surest barometers of this
good nature were the faces of the passers-
by.

The telephone bells in the weather bu-
reau were kept busy today by persons VINO
desired to congratulate Prof. Willis L.
Moore and his assistants, and to inquire:
How long is it going to last?
In answering this question Prof Garrlott
said to a tar reporter he was sorry to to
break in on the blissful weather dream or
the people which had been produced by the
sunshine and lack of shadow today.
Laws Unalterable.

Minimum Figure Last Night.
The minimum temperature last night was
33 degrees, or one degree above the freezing
point, and Professor Garriott said 1t was
the first night in a long time that the tenn
perature had not gone down to or below the
mark on the thermometer which means that
the temperature is cold enough to freeze
water.
The bureau officials regard the weather of
today hopefully as an indication that the
backbone of winter will soon be broken, as
spring weather is due to set in pretty soon.
There was a general shedding of gum
shoes today owing to the rapidly drying
condition Of the sidewalks, and a few hardy
spirits discarded their overcoats In defiance
of all laws of health and sanitation.
Professor Garriott said this afternoon that
as yet there are no indications of weather
change with sufficient rain to cause danger
from the gorging or overflowing of the Po-
tomac.
