MINING NOTES.

Argonaut- mine continues to
move along prosperously. The ore
body south of the shaft has opened
out largely, giving promise of long
life of liberal production of the pre-
cious metal. The company is pay
ing monthly dividends of 10 cents
per share, amounting to $780, per
month and the outlook favors the
continuance of this rate for some
time. The work now in hand is
changing from water to electric
power. The mill, rock breaker and
compressor will be operated by this
power.
Cent raj Eureka-W. r. Thomas, the
efficient superintendent OF this mine,
we are pleased to state, has not re-
signed his position. He was taken
sick, necessitating a cessation from
his official duties for some time. and
talked of resigning in the prospect of
not being able to give his personal
attention to the property. But the
company, fully appreciating the
services he has rendered, refused to
listen to such suggestion. He was
at liberty to take vacation for two
months or three months, but as for
severing his connection with the
mine, they would not listen to 1T.
His health is improving rapidly, and
it is expected that he will resume his
duties as superintendent at the mine
about the first of October. b.
Degolia, one of the head officials of
the company, was in Amador county
last week, on business concerning
the mine. The company is now pay
ing dividends of five cents per month,
and the mine is looking we'll.
Zeila-A transf ormer building has
been erected by the Zeila mine be-
tween the public road and the mill,
for use in the supply of electric
power to run the mill and air COM
pressor. 1t is constructed of galvan-
lied iron. The motors for running
the electric machinery are not all on
the ground yet.
Climax-The work of getting the
new 1O-stamp mill in running order is
being pushed with all possible speed.
1t vii take some thirty days more
before the mill is ready to enter upon
its career of crushing rock. The
company is spending large sums of
money on this enterprise, including a
pipe line 1000 feet in length, and two
miles of ditch to bring water to the
mine,

WATERMELON VAKDALS
A Man Behind a Gun Is Lying in Wait
 for Them.

Some of these days or nights there will be tragedy in the watermelon patch of James Morreu north of the city and Mir. Morren will not really be to blame. He has already suffered heavily from the vandalism of un- known parties.
 MT MorrelI has had a great deal of bad luck lately. Not long ago his house with all it's contents, and with out insurance, was burned. About the same time he suffered other crippling losses. At the beginning of the sea son he put in a large patch of melons and they, were coming on nicely uf- fording him q prospect of making some money. He discovered day be- fore yesterday that his patch had been invaded and that some of the melons had been plugged and had been found to be mripe. There were so many melons there that the plugging of a few of them did not annoy him but on looking further he found that a great many melons had been so de- s,royed. He then went through the patch removing ali these plugged mel Ons. There were four wagon loads of them. a quite serious loss.
 He came to town to see what could be done about it. But as he did not know who had invaded his patch. ob- ViOusly nothing could he done. He said when he left the justices office that he would probably be back again soon charged with shooting for he was go- ing to stand guard over his melons and pour shot into whoever might be found there.
 Few people are aware how much damage may be even unintentionaIly done in a melon patch The mere disturbance Of the vines in walking among them damages the growing crop. A flock of turkeys may destroy half crop in passing through. The weight Of a turkey on a melon vine invariably bruises it and then there can be no further growth or maturing of melons between the bruised spot and the end of the vine. Nature di- rects the sap to the healing of the bruised place and when it is healed there is a hardened place through which the sap cannot pass.

~ EWARE of the silent man in
war. There was Grant, and
there is Togo. In other ways
besides economy of words the
japanese admiral resembles the Amer
lean general-in love Of his family, in
his simple and domestic tastes, in 60
ing direct to an object, in the power
OF choosing and using subordinates
and, most important of all. in striking
the first blow. Hit the enemy swiftly
and unexpectedly, before he has time

plan. Here is another point of re-

Self Contained, Wiry and Alert.
Togo-by the way. call It Tongo If

He is only q tribe over five feet up and

Admiral Togo is hard worker.
Here is one of his laconic utterances
on the subject. "In the present age
quick and simple action is the only
way to succeed either In military or
civil life"
He knows men. Rarely does he make

Japan's Most Popular Hero.
Once OH meeting a party of foreign
correspondents the little admiral heard
his praises sung in@ several different
languages. They cheered him; they
drank his health. Through 1t all he
stood impressive, with PARKWAY eyes.
He is not vain man, Upon visiting
his home he refused a popular recep-
ton, slipping in and out I'm secret.
though he is the most popular hero OF
Japan and the people were eagerly
awaiting to give him such an ovation
as only the Japanese can give. He who
is really great can afford to-be humble.
He lives simply. has only one servant,
and his house and his room aboard ship
are almost without ornament. He
smiles seldom. Two occasions only are
on record. Once two English corre-
spondents came to him with shaved
heads, sign Of humiliation. why are
you Inundated at seeing me-" he
asked because Port Arthur is so long
in falling" they rejOincd. At this he
laughed outright. The other time was
when the wireless flashed the news
that the Russian feet was coming out
TO meet him. And Togo smiled.
Attributes Victory to MikadO's Virtue.
Admiral Togo makes few speeches,
but one of these is noteworthy. The
japanese have a custom OF addressing
the spirits of the departed. At public
service for the purpose Togo spoke TO
the souls of those he had lost in battle.
Very sOlemnly and simply he did this,
telling them of the successes he had
won and ascribing to them the victory.
In his dispatches he attributes his sue
ess to the mikado's virtues.
Many endearing appellations have
been given TO Togo. The one Of the
"ogre admiral'' has been mentioned. A
still earlier one was the fighting admi-
raj" The English and French have
called him the japanese Nelson" But
the most apt and expressive one per
haps is Togo the Silent"
Admiral Togo's family, OF which ne Is
very fond, consists OF three sons and
one daughter. The boys are being edu-
