for lodge meeting purposes. Over two
hundred invitations were extended to
members and friends of the order
throughout the county, and many re-
sponded with their presence. The hall

Out of the Race for District Judgeship

Superior Judge r. G. Rust, who has
been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the appointment of demo-
cratic judge of the newly constituted
district court of appeals in the northern
district of California, received an auto
graph letter from Governor Pardee
Wednesday evening, informing him
that he would not receive the appoint
ment. The letter was very courteous
and complimentary, stating that his
failure to secure the appointment was
in no-wise derogatory to his ability as
judge. This disposes of the matter as
far as Amador county is concerned.
The governor has not made the ap-
pointment as yet. 1t is understood,
however, that either Judge Mclaughlin
of Plumas county, or Judge Prewett OF
Placer county, will secure the coveted
prize.

MINING NEWS.

KENNEDY.-The Kennedy mine is
running along smoothly, the full mill
ing capacity of 100 stamps being kept
in steady operation The shaft is down
below 2S00 feet. The lowest level at
This depth is being opened up. A drift
Is being run west, to encounter the
ledge, which it is expected to reach at
a distance of 500 feet from the shaft.
The drift is low in 400 feet. The per-
pendicular east shaft was sunk on the
calculation of striking the ore body at
a depth of $500 feet. AS the shaft still
lacks 700 feet OF this depth, hence the
long drift west to meet the ore. The
drift is being pushed rapidly, and is
expected to reach the ore chute in a
few weeks.

FELL TWELVE HUNDRED FEET.
A Miner at the Zeila Steps Off Skip Into
Shaft and is Instantly Killed.

A miner named Pietro Fravega met
death in the shaft of the leila mine
early Tuesday morning. 1t was about
o'clock. The men were coming out
of the mine on change of shift. A skip
full of men, with Fravega on board,
was hauled to the surface. The skip
was in the north compartment. 1t is
usual for those riding on the south side
of the skip to step onto the center brace
and get off on that side by stepping
from the center brace over the south
compartment. Whether Fravega got
mixed up as to his location in the skip,
or whether he missed the center brace
accidentally, will never be known. No
one of his fellow workman saw how the
accident occurred. He fell down the
south compartment, clear to the 1900
level. He was mangled beyond all
recognition when the remains were re-
covered. The head was nearly all gone,
and portions of the body were picked
up afterward and carried to the under
taking parlOrs to be inferred with the
trunk. Coroner Huberty held an in
quest the same day. when verdict of
accidental death was returned. 1t was
one of those casualties due to careless
ness or miscalculations. that in spite OF
all admonitions will occur in the pros
ecution of mining.
Deceased was single man, about 80
years of age. He had worked about
the mines of Jackson for two or three
years, but had only recently started to
work underground at the Zeila.
Deceased's brother, Francisco Fra
vega, and sister-in law, Mrs. Fravega,
came up from San Francisco Wednes-
day, and the remains were shipped to
that city on Thursday morning, &C
com mpanied by the relatives.

VOLCANO NEWS,

Volcano, March %.
The storm in this vicinity has been
of great benefit to the farmers and
miners, who thought the water would
not hold out long enough to enable
them to clean up the amount of gravel
they intended to, but they do not
seem to worry about it now.
The Marsino Bros. mine is showing
up we'll. They are drifting the gravel
out and have enough in sight to keep
them busy for a long time.
W. III Glenn has shut down his mill
for a few days, to make some re-
pairs, but ore is being steadily taken
out.
The mining in the flat is holding
its own being the same amount of
work as there was last year.
The gravel mine of Brown andBrad-
shaw is running steadily, two hydrau-
lie are used for the work Manuel San
tirfo is conducting hydraulic mine
in Grass valley, about two miles from
here.
WILDER Murphy and Jesse Bonneau
have opened mine in Soldiers gulch.
Work is not being carried on very ex-
tensively at present on account of the
illness of Jesse. The powder affected
him. Wilbur is working part of the
time, for frequent blasts are heard
in that viciity.
Chris Leslie, who is operating the
Madrone mine in the Pioneer district,
reports things as being very favor
able. Mr.. Leslie is first-class
miner, and has succeeded in opening
up good mine.
A social dance was given in Arm
ory hall last Friday evening. Good
music was furnished by Prof. Quinn
and Murphy. Mr.. Quinn conducts a
dancing school here and his pupils
we're all on hand and made it merry.
So much pleasure was found in the
hop that they forgot st. Patrick IS
day only lasted until IL O'Clock and
continued until their attention was
called to the fact.
The rain caused Sutter creek to rise
so high that the large gate of the tun-
mel company was shut down, and the
little lake was soon filed. The Hilda
which has been on dry dock since 1904,
was again put afioat, Tony Delucchi
taking her on her trial trip, and found
that further repairs had to be made.
If you remember Tony as the man
who christened the Hilda by removing
the cork from bottle of champagne,
drinking the contents and breaking
the empty bottle on her side, and
shouting her name. The Hilda is a
graceful craft and was constructed by
Prots. Leak and Boydston in 1904.
She is again speeding the water and
in perfect order, and seems to be the
pleasure of the town. Knocko.

The Railroad Progress.

The track laying on the railroad has
advanced to the stone corral some dis
tance this side of the Mountain Spring
house. There is small trestle to put
up near this point, when track laying
will be pushed to the end of the pres
ent grading, opposite Cyclone station.
1t is believed the engine will be snort
ing at this point before another week,
A cook house and other buildings have
been put at the depot site at Oneida,
but the lower camp has not been re-
moved to this place yet. We hear that
the next pay off will be at this end of
the line. A strong force is at work on
the road, and if reports are to be be-
lieved, the road as far as Martell's will
be finished in few weeks.

OPPORTUNITY FOR
PALESTINE TO Get new ROAD

1t is a peculiar fact, but a fact never
theless, that cities, towns and COM
munities, as we'll as individuals, often
have within reach great opportunities
and possibilities, and yet they never
rise to the Importance of united and
concerted action and effort sufficient
to grasp the good things which belong
to them by right and circumstance.
1t is a fact that Palestine needs an
other railroad. 1t is equally fact
that we have the opportunity of Sc
curing another road. A little thought
and investigation of the conditions
should convince any reasonable man
that by the proper course of action
we, the people of this city and county,
can secure very desirable road for
Palestine. The line alluded to is the
Frisco system. The chairman of the
Frisco board is B. F. Yoakum. 1t may
not be generally known, but we have
in the person of Jno. r. Hearne, one
of the most prominent and successful
citizens of Palestine, a life long and
very close friend of Mr.. Yoakum.
Upon the death of Mr.. N. r. Royal
few days ago, MIR. Hearne was
elected president o. the Royal Ma
tional Bank, one of the strongest
financial institutions in East Texas, by
virtue of his eminent qualifications for
the position. A little thought of the
successful career of Mr.. Hearne will
show that with the moral and financial
support of our people, Jno. Hesrne
can secure this road for us.
MIR. Ball of st. Louis owns $4,000
acres of land lying across the Trinity
river in Anderson and Freestone coun-
ties. 1t should be an easy matter to
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1905-05-23

enlist Mr.. Balls interest in building a
line from Palestine to Mexia, where a
juncture with the Frisco system could
be effect, and this line would go right
through the heart of his immense land
holdings.
Such line would develop the vast
PROPERTIES owned by Mr.. Ball, and he
naturally would donate the right-of-
way through his entire possessions,
and the right-o way is no small con-
sideration. With the financial aid and
support of two such men as Hearne
and Ball, and the close personal rela-
tons between Hearne and Yoakum,
backed up by the financial support of
the citizens of this county and Free
stone county, we can build the line.
The construction of this line means
the commercial supremacy of Pales-
tine in East Texas. Will our people
act?
The writer hoped that Palestine
would secure the X. OF Z. WIDOWS and
orphans home. He hoped for the
success of that effort for the reason
that it would have helped Palestine in
many substantial ways. But the great
est good perhaps would have been
that the success of that effort would
have given unity of purpose and cour-
age to our people to go after and
secure yet better and greater things
for Palestine.
The purpose of this article is not to
disparage a score of prominent and
liberal men, but is to simply call the
attention of our other citizens to the
Importance of the existing conditions.
Yours truly,
B. ID.

In the last forty eight hours from Sat-

freight trains, besides the number of
passenger trains that come and go

one train for every hour in the forty
eight. The freight trains were all
loaded, some with merchandise, others
with fruit and vegetables, and others

trains of onions and potatoes were

season of the year. The whole line is
busy, and the towns along the road are
doing good business. Palestine is
using great deal more freight this
spring than she was year ago, as the
records will show. A little later when
the peach crop begins to move train
movements will be greater than they
are. now. This country is coming all
right, and every thing shows that this
is good old town.

COUNTY ROAD WORK TO Be DONE.

The county administration is in
earnest about improving the county
roads, and while nothing radical is to,
be attempted at this time, arrange
ments are being completed to do some
valuable and lasting work. The coun-
ty judge and his commissioners have
decided to purchase road working
outfit for each precinct in the county
and to employ good business man to
take charge of the machinery and
force in each precinct, and work along
practical lines for the improvement of
the roads. 1t is estimated that the
money now used for road improve.
