lo FUNDS FOR BuRYINe GROUND

We are constrained to call atten-
tion to matter that occurered be-
fore the board of supervisors last
Monday. 1t does not figure in the
minutes of the board, notwithstand-
ing that in pinciple, or perhaps lack
of principle, it far transcends in i'm
portance any action taken by the
county managers for long time. Its
bearing upon Jackson, as showing the
prejudice and feeling existing in
some quarters against the county seat
town should be properly appreciated.
Miss M. Stasal has undertaken the
task of collecting funds for the repair
of the fence inclosing the public GEM
etery of jackson. Donations are ask
ed. only from those who have reIa-
tives or friends buried therein or
are interested otherwise in the care
of the cemetery. This graveyard has
from early days been the burying
place of the indigents dying in the
county hospital. The county has never
paid one cent for the privilege of
burying the county wards therein,
nor for the ground in which they are
inferred. There are hundreds of these
wards buried promiscuousIy therein.
In collecting funds for repairing the
fence it was thought no more than
right that the county of Amador
should contribute for this purpose.
1t has done so in years past. 1t was
not matter of begging for the bene-
fit of Jackson, or of Jackson's peo-
pie. So the board was asked to do
nate from the county treasury
toward this necessary and worthy OBJ
ject. Supervisor Burke objected,
deeming it was a matter for the peo-
pie of jackson to attend to exclus-
lively; that other graveyards had just
as much claim upon the county funds
as this one, where the county poor
are inferred. We shall discuss this
question at length hereafter, Suffice
it to say that nothing was donated,
and no vote taken, the view of Super
visor Burke was practically accepted,
except a protest from one OF two
Jackson citizens who happened to be
present,

A WELL-GUARDED TREASURY.

In the minutes of the supervisors
will be noticed an order for the in
surance on the treasuIer's office and
money to the extent of $4,000. This
order requires some explanation to
be understood by the general reader.
In fact, no one Will understand it
without other information than that
furnished on the face of the minutes.
The court house and hall of records
are, and have been right along in
sured against fire. This is perfectly
proper and in accordance with bust
ness methods. The insurance ordered
this week, however is of a different
character, and new departure for
Amador county. Nothing of the kind
has ever been done before. 1t is in
tended as protection of the county
against loss of county funds by rob-
berry or burglary. The amount IN
sured for is outrageously high, $50
600. We have fire and burglar proof
safe and vault, supposed to be proof
against assaults of the safe crackers.
We never have had genuine case of
safe cracking in this county, and GER
tainly with the protection we now
have in the way of modern safe de-
posit vault, there is less danger from
this source than ever. Nevertheless
for some unaccountable reason the
taxpayers, after 80 years of immunity
are deemed to be in need of further
protection against burglars to the
tune of $780, Let us examine. Ac-
cording to the last count there was
$50, 900 III the treasury, including
warrants uncancelled for $3.50 in
round numbers. Of the coin S25, 500
was in silver, and it is urged that
this superabundance of silver is the
main reason for this insurance poll
cy, inasmuch as it is so bulky that it
cannot be all got in the safe proper.
SO that the insurance covers nearly
the full value of all actual money in
the treasury. The silver alone weighs
over one ton, and how burglar or
halt a dozen burglars could tackle
that sort of stuff and expect to get
away with it we leave our readers to
say. The thing is so absurd that it
will create smile throughout the
county. Nevertheless, the scheme
was put through and Amador county
we suppose will have to stand it. 1t
is claimed as one reason for this
ridiculous step, that the treasu1 er IS
official bond does not cover bona
fide robbery, the bondsmen would
not be liable for the act of burglars.
A poor excuse is better than no ex-
cuse. Supervisor Grillo voted against
the proposition. The policy calls FOR
1912, and runs for three years. With
fire insurance, burglar insurance,
treasurer bondsmen and night
watchman the county treasury ought
to be safe from any kind of attack.
The graft danger is about all that re-
mains unprotected by insurance.
Amador ledger., 1905-06-09
RISKS OF MINING.

Mining is a risky business. Is it
extra risky? that is the question. 1t
is frequently said that the failures in
mining enterprises are no greater in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged therein tina: the failures in
other industries. EhIs is tantamount
to saying that in investing IN gold
mining one has an equal show to
make winning as if he put his
money into any commercial business.
But will this view bear scrutiny. Ger
talnly the promise of reward i'll min
ing is greater than in any other pur-
suit. When prize is gathered in the
mining field it is often on a colossal
scale, the profits far outranklng the
gains in other enterprises. 1t is this
hope of big reward that induces the
capitalist to search for underground
treasures. A comparatively poor man
may in this particular line become a
millionaire IN a day. This bow OF
promise it is that always buoys up the
miner with hope and lends peculiar
fascination to the calling. NO other
avocation can begin to compare with
it in this respect. Still to a ceI-
tain extent it must be admitted that
the miner works in the dark, while
other business men operate in the
sunlight. A merchant can gauge the
conditions and the chances of success
with fair degree of accuracy. He
knows there is a demand for goods in
his line; that people must buy, if not
from him, then from someone else.
He may be sadly mistaken as to his
ability to hold his own with his COM
petitors, but there is no mistake
about the demand for merchandise.
The success or failure of his venture
depends upon his skill in corralIing a
remunerative share of the trade. With
the miner it is different. He is in a
great measure at sea, even when op-
Grating in what is conceded to be a
proven mineral field. "Gold is where
you find it," is true saying that
applies to all mining sections. The
scientist in geology and mineralogy
may have slight advantage over the
one unveIsed in such branches, but
practically it amounts to very little.
Both the scientist and the novice must
take an equal chance of striking pay
ground or a barren spot, and as a mat
ter of fact the barren places far out
number the rich spots. However ex-
perienoed in the theory and practice
of his calling, the miner is more like
ly, from the uncertainty inseparable
from his business, to draw blank
than prize. 1t can never be reduced
to an exact science. The investor who
wins deserves all he makes, no matter
though his profits reach into the mil
lions. He has risked his capital in an
extremely risky field at best. The
losers in the game are far more nu-
merous, and doubtless the sum total
of the money lost in fruitless ven
lures far exceeds the total earnings
of the winners. Considerations of this
nature induce governments the world
over to deal in liberal spirit with
the gold seeker. Every inducement
within reason is held out to entice
him to invest, and in the absence of
this liberal policy the gold mining
industry would rapidly decline. 1t
cannot be hampered to any serious ex-
tent and live.
