The ChiIdren,s Day In Ru..sia.

In Russia New Years is especially
the childrens day. Among the peas
ants the old time frolics and games are
renewed. 1t is a practice among the
boys to arm themselves with a supply
of shelled wheat and dried peas and
to go from house to house In the small
hours Of the morning. They present
themselves unbidden in a neighbor' s
house, where the doors are always un-
locked, and pelt him with wheat or
peas till he offers cakes or fruit.

School Matters.

The Jackson school will reopen next
Monday, after a two weeks shutdown
on account of diphtheria. The closing
OF school because of case or two of
contagion is viewed in different ways.
Much unfavorable comment Is indulged
in at this course. 1t Is contended that
to have the children play around the
streets and circulate among each other
in churches and in many other wavs. is
equally as bad, as far as dauger from
infection is oQneerped, as to attend
eohool. What good result can possib bly
come from closing school? Teachers
are paid full month IS salary for few
days work. The children are deprived
of educational facilities, and state and
county pay for services only partially
rendered. The only object gained Is
the danger of having the apportion-
ment curtailed by reason of reduced
average attendance, as it is assumed
some parents would hesitate to send
their children to school while anv cases
of contagiOu are abroad. The feelinr
is gaining that the policy of closing
school because Of isolated cases Of
diphtherla or any other contagion. is
all wrong. What would be thought in
large cities If the school authorities
pursued the same course there. The
schools would close for good, for cases
OF Infectious disease are always with
them. 1t is time country schools GOT
over the bugaboo of '!no school unless
q clean bill OF health is given" even
though the outcome be few dollars
less in school appropriation. The in
tereSts of all children should not ha
sacrificed on any such sentimental altar,

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
Saloon Burglarized at Midnight Robbery
Frustrated by the Appearance of Proprietor,
who Takes Couple of Shots at Intruder.

A daring attempt was made to rob
the saloon and stQre kept by George
BakoVioh and l.. Radovich fronting the
bridge at the north end of Main street,
shortly after midnight this morning.
1t was about closing up time, and Bak-
ovich was in charge. He locked up
the premises about midnight, while he
went to d restaurant to get some coffee,
leaving three lights burning, one being
in q rear room In which dry goods are
kept. There was considerab BILE money
on hand at the time--nearly 300 in the
barroom till, and S400 slowed away in
cigar box. The money was about to
be sent to San Francisco. Bakovich
was away about half an hour, and re-
turned to get his overcoat. Nearing
the saloon, he heard a noise in the rear
which satisfied him that someone was
in the act of burglarizing the premises.
He thereupon hastened to his home on
Court street for his gun-a formidable
three-chambered combination weapon
of shotgun and rifle. He was back in
few minutes, alone. He noticed that
the two rear lights had been turned of,
only one in the saloon burning, Peer
ing through the front window, he saw
a man in the act of lifting the lid of a
cigar box that stood on a sideboard be-
hind the bar counter. He blazed away
with the rife part. The ball went wide
of its mark, but passed through the
door between the saloon and dry goods
room, and plowed groove in the wood
work of the side, passed through the
rear room, and finally buried itself in
the next building, The would-be rob
ber, thus surprised in his lawless work,
beat hasty retreat through the door
of woodshed in the rear, jumped into
the creek, and made his escape by fol-
lowing the creek bed in northerly di-
rection. Bakovich took another shot
at him as he ran up the creek. Bako-
vich did not see the burglars face, and
is unable to give any description of him
other than he wore a cowboy hat. He
secured no money nor booty of any
sort. He entered the premises through
a sliding window in the rear woodshed,
forcing the slender fastening of the
door connecting the woodshed with the
drygoods room. The sheriff's Office was
notified of the affair, but there is abso-
lutely no clew to the identity of the
perpetratOr.

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gesting what you eat without the stom-
aoh's aid. The food builds up the body,
the rest restores the stomach to health.
You don't have to diet yourself when
taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. J. D..
Erskine, of Allenville, Mich, says. 81

MINING NEWS

WILDMAN.-Twenty stamps are now
in operation on ore from the 1400-foot
level Twenty men arc now employed,
and 1t once more begins to look like
old times in Sutter Creek.
ONEIDA. = Underground foreman
Andrew Noce is in San Francisco with
his brother, who is not expected to live
but short time. Supt. Hampton is
not only attending to his regular duties,
but is seeing that Mr.. Noce's work is
being properly attended 10 by those in
charge. The mill is running to its full
est capacity on low grade ore, but by
careful management the mine is being
worked on paying basis, and will un-
dOubtedly continue so for many years.
SOUTH EUREKA.-The new mill at
this mine is crushing about 100 tons
per day; the old mill not so much.
Much of the ore is taken from the 2400-
foot level. About three tons of sui
phurets are being made daily, but some
difficulty is being experienced in get
ting them hauled to the railroad, owing
to the condition of the roads. The
new mill runs like clock work, no diff
ficulty being had so far with any of its
mechanism. Much interest Is being
manifested in the next cleanup, which
will undoubtedly be the largest in the
history of the mine.
ZEILA.-At this mine drifting toward
the ledge at the 1400 level has been
pushed a considerable distance. At
the 1900 level the work of cutting the
station is under way. Sinking is not
being prosecuted at present. The
cement foundation for the now hoist is
completed, and is a massive and solid
structure. The iron base plates are in
position, but beyond this none of the
machinery is in place or on the ground.
1t will be some time before the under
ground work has progressed to the
point of resuming the extraction of ore
and the re-starting of the mill.
KENNEDY.-At this mine they are
putting in the lathes and other ma
chinery for the equipment of the ma
chine shop, with the object of doing all
the repair work on the ground, except
castings. Some repair work is being
done to the first sixty stamps of the
mill. With the constant jar Of the
stamps it has been found that the
mortar posts have become worm on
their cement bases. To remedy this it
is proposed to drill into the solid cement
and introduce wood blocks under the
posts. One battery will be treated in
this manner at a time, so that not more
than 10 stamps will be hung up at any
one time. They are preparing 10 open
up a level at the depth Of $3.50 feet.

To Supply Electric Power For Years.
A dispatch from San Francisco say.

A dispatch from San Francisco says:
A big realty deal has just been COM
pleted, John Martin, Eugene de Saba
and their associates in the California
Gas and Electric Corporation having
bought forty acres Of land just across
the line in San Mateo county on the
bay shore near the Seven-Mile House,
1t is the intention of the company to
put up plant for supplying electric
power to the United Railroads of San
Francisco and to other parties.
This corporation recently made a
contract with the United Railroads to
supply it with electric power for a
period of twenty years on and after
January l, 1905.
The object of the above move Is to
lave a reserve power plant in the event
of temporary suspension of the power
transmission over the big lines of the
corporation now in operation. The
company must be in position to sup
ply steady and continuous energy for
the operation of the street Car system
in San Francisco, and this reserve plant,
OF 16, 600 horse power, is to meet any
emergency that may arise. The Cali
fOrnia Gas and Electric Corporation is
the largest combine of the kind in the
world. d

Railroad Notes.

The new IS ton locomotive for the
lone and Eastern railroad was received
at lone last week. 1t was built at
Lima, Ohio. OF this mammoth haul
ing machine the Echo says:
''The engines, three in number, are
on the right side of the boiler, and are
connected to tumbling rod which
transmits power to the wheels by a
bevel cog system. The wheels, three
pairs, are all drivers, and are all at
tached to the power. There Is one
pair of wheels under the forward end
of the boiler, one under the oil tank
and one under the water tank. There
are no wheels under the engines or
rear part of the boiler, that part of the
machine is supported by brace rods
from the first tender. The wheels are
of small diameter and the engine is
built for pulling, but not for speed. As
it weighs 65 tons and the steel on the
road is very light, it remains to be seen
what can be hauled over it. The new
locomotive has been onYerted iptQ an
oil burner and it is expected that it will
go into commission to-day"
Some difficulty is being experienced
with the embankment between Miller's
station and lone. The formation is
clay, and the filling is Of eopslderab BILE
hight-ln fact, the highest on the
route. The rains have so saturated
the soil that much trouble has arisen
over the sinking of the road bed. Fifty
men were at work Saturday ballasting
the track. 1t is merely a question OF
| time when the filings will be thorough
ly settled and IN condition to stand the
heavy travel.
The grading operations have reached
point couple of miles east of Noun
tain Springs. Rapid progress may be
looked for from now on, as fully three
fourths of the total grading and filling
work has been done. The main con-
| struction camp was moved last week
from below Mountain Springs to a
point two miles further east. 1t is
thought one more shift will suffice to
carry the operations to Martell's sta
tion.
A corps of surveyors were put to
work surveying line from Martell s
to Amador City and beyond. 1t is the
Intention of the company to extend the
line in this direction without delay. II
will be pushed to completion at the
earliest possible moment. The site for
the depot at Martell's will in all likeli-
hood be on the Oneida Mining Com
pany's ground. we understand the
route from Oneida toward Jackson has
been partially mapped out, and will be
definitely surveyed in few days.
There seems to be no doubt that the
depot will be located at desirable spot
within easy access to the business part
| of town.

Work at Electra.

The new pipe line at the Standard
Electric plant at Electra is making
satisfactory Roadway. The pipe is
nearly all in place. Most of the teams
have been taken off the road, as the
hauling is about finished. At the
power house the machinery is being
put in position as fast as possible, The
completion of this must necessarily be
delayed until such time as the road is
in condition to enable the two heaviest
pieces, weighing about 20 tons, to be
hauled from lone. This is impossible
in the present condition of the roads.
1t is probable that it will not be at
tempted before the early spring.
Rumor has it that d. Mccall will
undertake to haul these ponderous
pieces by the traction engine as soon as
the roads will permit. They will be
taken from lone to Butte City by the
traction, and from there taken to the
plant by the company's own teams

The lone Road.

The condition of the road between
lone and Jackson the main artery of
traffic in Amador county-is deplorable
beyond description. If anything were
wanted to demonstrate the absolute
necessity of railroad communication
between these two points, it is supplied
by the present condition of the wagon
road. We call it road but it is far
from deserving that distinction. 1t
is mud channel from beginning to
end. Below the Mountain Springs it
is plowed up so thoroughly by the
heavy freight teams as to be almost
impossible. Transportation over it in
any shape is really dangerous. This
side of Mountain Springs there Is
hard bottom of rock, but this is covered
nearly all the way with mud to the
depth of three to six inches. After all
the money that has been spent on this
highway in the effort to make it fairly
passable the year round, the conclusion
is inevitable that the undertaking is a
failure. The truth is forced home that
the county is not equal to the task of
keeping it in repair. We do not saw
this as a reflection upon the manage
ment of the road work. We are not
discussing that proposition. 1t is
enough to say that portion of this
road was macadamized under the
supervision of the state board of high
way commissioners. That particular
piece of road went to the bad as quickly
as the rest. The fact is the traffic has
become too much for any such road, no
matter how scientifically constructed
In an experience of nearly thirty years,
we have never seen the road in worse
state than it is at present.
