School Closed.

Owing to the prevalence of diphtheria
the Jackson public school was closed

MINING NEWS

TREADWELL.-The new superin-
tendent has gone to work in a business
like manner. Prospecting the various
ledges will be the first thing in order.
So far everything looks most favorable.
Several lodges have been encountered,
all prospecting well. A model 5-stamp
mill has been erected for testing pur-
poses. AS soon as satisfactory values
are established larger mill will be
erected in a more convenient locality.
The promoters are business men, and
future operations will be conducted in
business-like manner.
MADRONE.-A run has been
made on ore taken from the old dump,
which went little over So to the ton.
Mr.. Leslie finds that the larger part
oil the dump consists of just such rock,
and proposes to sort the entire lot.
With his present force it will take two
years to do the work. The next crush
ing of 100 tons will be taken from the
ore body contained In the main tunnel.
The last tunnel crushing of 100 tons
went Sl7.20 per ton. The present man
ayers have shown that the former
operators did not know pay rock from
gouge.
MARSINO GRAVEL CLAIM M-Marsino
& Sons OF Volcano are having their
rich raUa1 claim curvauad opd hound
aries definitely established. They will
also determine the grade for the 700
foot tunnel which they will rum through
the claim during the coming summer
The large body of gravel encoun tered
in the north end &C the TUNED can be
worked more profitably through this
tunnel than through the shaft, and at
the same time it will open up the entire
property. Breasting is still going on
in the south end, and the dump will
soon contain 1000 car loads of gravel
valued at $4,000. This mine is mint
within itself.
MITCHELL.-We understand that
the Mitchell mine aear Pine Grove will
be started up again in the near future.
The title has now been perfected, and
the former lein holders have full con-
troll. This has always been a paying
and the recent assessment
work shows large body of good mill
ing ore heretofore undiscovered. The
incoming managers will doubtless find
a profitable Investment for their money.

Water Supply.

Owing to the scarcity of water the
placer miners have been unable to do
much work on their properties. Many
predicted that on account of the heavy
fall rains we would have only light
rains during the winter months. So
far their predictions have come true
only light rains, cold, frosty, and foggy
weather has prevailed. We ought not
to complain even though these condi-
tions should continue during the sea-
son, for it seldom serves us in this man
ner, but for the general welfare of the
people we would be glad to see a gen.
erous down-pour. If the miner fails to
reap his golden harvest the result is
felt in the marts of trade fully as much,
if not more, than if the grain and fruit
crops should fail to yield their usual
harvest. 1t is not too late as yet to re-
ceive goodly supply of rain, snow and
hail. 1t behooves every one to be good
and ready when the supply does come,
and do the work in one month that it
might otherwise take two or three
months to do.
Give us daily some GOOD bread. Pio-

A Slight Disagreement,

A little unpleasantness has occurred
in the Willow Springs district, owing
to the fact that the teacher refuses to
be told by the trustees where she shall
board. The trustees have taken mat
ters into their own hands and have, so
we are informed, without complying
with the law, proceeded to nail up the
building. The teacher has notified the
superintendent and he has taken the
matter in hand and will see that the
teacher receives fair and impartial
treatment. No board OF trustees in
any county has, or can assume, any
authority except that given them by
the school laws of the state, and no
board meeting is legal unless properly
called, and each member notified of the
time aud place of such meeting. 1t is
folly for any one or two members of a
board to ignore the other member, for
the law recognizes his standing and
will see that his rights are respected.
The law also protects teachers, and no
set of trustees can arbitrarily mistreat t
them. To abuse or talk insultingly to
a teacher in the presence of her pupils
is crime, and the person who does so
is liable 10 a heavy fine. Trustees
should at all times advise with the
superintendent, for he is the head of
the public schools of the county. "Do
as you would be done by" is a good
motto to follow, and when a teacher is
being hampered by her trustees as to
whom she shall board with she is not
receiving that treatment to which they
themselves would be willing to submit.

Injuries Prove Fatal.

Joseph Bastlan, a young man who
has been working in the Argonaut mine
for some time, was caved on Monday
morning and received injuries that
proved fatal at o'clock in the evening.
Mr.. Bastian vas 2 highly respected
young man, and his untimely taking off
will be felt by host of intimate friends.
Deceased's parents live in jackson.
Five years ago his father received
severe injuries in the same mine. His
relatives have the sympathy of the en-
tire community. His remains were laid
to rest in the Protestant cemetery on
Wednesday at ? O'Clock p. NJ, under
the auspices of jackson Miners Union,
No. lis, w. F. NJ, of which order he
was member in good standing.

Native Daughters.

The various parlors of N. D. G. w.
have been holding high carnival during
the past ten days, it being the time Sc
lected by the grand president, Mrs.
Ella Caminetti. TO pay her official visit.
On Wednesday evening Of last week
she visited Conrad Parlor, No. 10i, OF
Volcano. The occasion was made one
of sociability and proved to be of great
benefit to all members present. On
Thursday evening Ursula Parlor No. /,
entertained three of the grand officers,
grand president Ella Caminetti, grand
secretary Laura J. Frakes. and grand
trustee Teresa Muldoon. Five new
members were initiated into the mys-
teries of sisterhood. The hall decora-
tions were very elaborate. Mrs. Fl.
Jones recited during the evening, and
Miss Alma Francis and Miss Dooley
Sanguinetti each sang solos. A beauti-
full bouquet of flowers was presented to
Mrs. Caminetti by the parlor, Mrs.
Laughton making the presentation
speech in pleasing manner. An in
viting banquet was spread at the Globe
hotel, after which many entertaining
toasts were given, Mrs. Laughton act
ing as toast mistress. Mrs. Caminetti
was at her best, and many pleasantries
were exchanged between she and other
witty members.
On Thursday evening the grand
officers, accompanied by members from
Conrad and Ursula parlors, visited
Amapola Parlor of Sutter. and assisted
in the installation of officers and the
initiation of nine new members. The
occasion was one long to be remem-
bered, and lasted until the wee small
hours of Saturday morning. Singing,
reciting, and speech making filed in
every spare moment of time. Miss
Julia Tanner. who recited for Cali
fornia at the ST. Louis exposition, was
present, and responded to several calls.
Several visiting members sang, spok or
recited. Toasts and banquet. banquet
and tOasts occupied over two hours of
time. Long live the N. D. G. w., they
are a power for good in the state, and
may all the ladies who are eligible j.
come bonored mem bers of the order.

On Monday evening the Workmen
and ladies of the Degree of Honor held
a joint installation in Masonic hall.

bility was combined with business.

ladies in most creditable manner,
while J. E, Dye instructed the incoming

had prepared ''royal feast, to which
even the chronic dyspeptic did justice.

Slid Down Hill.

1t was discovered a few days ago that
the large pipe now being put in place
at Electra had moved out of place
about q inches. On examination if
was found that some one had re-
moved the blocking at the lower end,
and as the pipe had not been thorough
ly secured otherwise it's heavy weight
was too great for the bearings and the
result was that it slid a little. We
that an expect came up
Wednesday and gave it as his opinion
that no particular damage had been
done and work on the pipe was resumed.

BARRIERS Combine Broken.

The union of Jackson BARRIERS formed
only two weeks ago has already been
torn to pieces. The former 15c shavers
are back to their old prices, and one
artist has gone so far as to parade the
streets with glowing banner announc-
ing shave for 10c. Under the union
agreement all shops were to close at
s o'clock p. m, and not to open on
Sunday. Now you can get shaved at
midnight, and at least one of the shops
will remain open all day Sundays.
Thus endeth one of the great combines
or trusts that must surely fall during
the Roosevelt administration.

For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt's
Little Early Risers, the famous little
Pills. They do not weaken the stom-
ach. Their action upon the system is
mild, pleasant and harmless. Bob
Moore, of Lafayette, Ind, says: mo
use talking, DeWitt's Little Early
Risers do their work. All other pills 1
have used grippe and make me sick in
the stomach and never cured me. De-
Wits Little Early Risers proved to be
the long sought relief. They are simply
perfect. Persons travelling find Little
Early Risers the most reliable remedy
to carry with them. Sold by all drug

to wander as far as the Mt. Spring
house, and there it ends. He sees the
Lone and Eastern railroad stranded
there for time unmentlonable. Wonder
what he thinks those 200 men are doing
near Cyclone station, and what object
the company had in buying and paying
for rails enough to build on to Volcano
with. Get aboard the band wagon
some bright morning Mr.. Editor, ride
out this way and take look at the
spirit of progress as she wends her
way to our enterprising mountain
towns. Your wish is father to the
thought that you express. The road
to Jackson will be completed in the
spring, and if the grades are not too
steep for your tonnage we would not
be surprised to see within Is months
yourself with other enterprising peo-
pie of lone speeding on your way to
Volcano behind the iron horse. Look
again brother and see if you can t reach

Work for Roosevelt.

People all over the country are won
dering what will become of Roosevelt
after his term as president expires.
Some one now suggests that he be made
sole commissioner to carry out the work
of building the Panama canal. In all
probability the work would be agree
able to ''ex-president" Roosevelt, but
those doing the work might object a
little, for when Roosevelt undertakes
to do thing he goes with rush until
his work is completed. When the
president retires in 1909 he will be in
the prime of life and able to mark out
his own future. But if he could be
persuaded to take up the canal work
he would come nearer completing it on
time than any other public man now
living. Put him down for the place.

Warden Tompkins of San Quentin is
now under fire for having placed his
nephew from Texas in the position of
guard at the prison. 1t seems that the
law requires that only voters of the
state can occupy such positions The
warden's favorite nephew from Texas,
Sidney Tompkins, appeared on the
scene and demonstrated to his worthy
uncle that he could shoot out the eve
of prisoner as we'll as a bulls eye, and
the uncle considering Texas shooter
on the same plane as California voter
gave him employment. Now step in

being law breaker himself, and de-
mand the scalp of his nephew.

of 44,924, and property valued at ST. 150,000, exempt from taxation, because it is used for purposes of worship only. My informant tells me that twelve of the 163 churches did not report either property or membership, which would increase the figures I have given you by 3 or per cent. This is a remark able return for a population of 1O0,- 900, which is about the number of in habitants in the territory when the Indians, Chinese, and Mexicans are de- ducted. The Roman Catholics have the largest representation, then come the Mormons, Presbyterians, Metho- dists, Baptists, and Episcopalians in or der.
 The Mormon population is well thought of. The members of that church are, almost without exception, industrious, prosperous and progressive citizens. They are almost exclusively IA anu sAit NOhold cred the best farmers in the territory. am told that more than So per cent of the crops are produced by Mormons, and that 65 per cent of the cattle and sheep are owned by members of that church. There are.no large eommuni- ties. The families are scattered all over the territory, and wherever they go they are invariably people of i'm portance. Some of them own large tracts of land, which they are slowly coloniZing. Most of the immigrants come from Utah, and are relatives and friends of those already settled here. Polygamy is not pTacticed, whether 1t be in obedience to public opinion or for other reasons. If there is a poly gamous family in the territory it is on the. border of Utah in some secluded place. The Mormons take an active interest in politics wherever they are, and belong to both parties. In some settlements the majority of them are Republicans, and in others they are Democrats. In their political rela- tions and conduct they are exactly like other citizens, and no one would ever detect a Mormon from Metho- dist or Baptist if he did not confess his faith. Their churches are man aged just like those of other denomi- nations; they have regular services and Sunday schools wherever Q settle ment is large enough to sustain them. There are altogether 4 churches, with a membership of 7,O04, and church pro perty valued at $132,S ,S22.

DECREE OF SETTLEMENT.

 Beside the above amount, the widow has an undivided One-half interest in the Silver Belt mining claim in the Big Bug section. Another asset in the estate is q note against Alfred Quetu, as executor of the estate of the late T. B.

NEW SITE FOR ASH FORK EATING
 HOUSE.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Residents of Ash Fork are greatly disturbed over the report that the new Harvey eating house is likely to be built at point remote from the busi- ness section of the town.
 And their alarm is well founded, for the Journal-Niner was authoritatiyely informed yesterday that the new structure is likely to be built 800 feet west from the site of the building that was recently consumed by fire.
 At least the plans that have been prepared call for it's location at point named. which is on a knoll near where the present spur track begins. While this change of location will be ohjec- tionable to the business men across from tle depot who derive the greater per eentage of their business from tra- velers who patronize them while wait irg for their trains to leave after the interim allowed for meals, it is not pro- hable that the company will recede from its present intentions. The rail road needs the room, it claims. for increased yard facilities. which for some time have been very cramped.
 As to the report that the machine shops at Seligman may be removed to Ash Fork, the Journal-Mi informant states that there is no probability of such a move. An insuperable obstacle is the lack of water at Ash Fork, Prac- tieally all of which is hauled in at pre- sent to supply the engines, the rasseu- ger ears and the eating house. Hence, the hopes of the Ash Fork business men in that respect are doomed to dis appointment.
