EXPRESS RATES.

Mr.. Story, the local agent of Wells
Fargo q Co., has received word from
the superintendent Office in San
Francisco in reply to the petition
sent in signed by the business men
and others of Jackson, asking for a
reduction of rates, and in answering,
says that Wells Fargo and Co. are
willing and will be glad to comply
with the request as soon as the rail-
road operating between lone and
Martell make some concession. The
position the railroad maintains is
that they are under more expense
than formerly, as they have to main
tain the stage equipment in addition
to the operating of the railroad.
The reductions will in all probability
be made just as soon as the railroad
is extended from Martell to jackson
and Sutter Greek. In the meantime
special rates are pr pIomised on perish
ables, and will be quoted in a few
days.
Since receiving the above reduc-
tion in rates has been made on butter,
eggs, fruit and vegetables between
San Francisco and jackson from So. 90
to Sl.50 per hundred. On the same
between Sacramento and jackson
from S2.75 to S1.50, and Stockton the
same. The rate applies to fish, but
consignee must call at Martells for it.

entertained the ladies of the ST.
Augustine Guild Thursday at the
Iectory. A most enjoyable three
hours we're spent in the social way
that charauterizes all of the meet
ings of this society. Some interest
ing stories we're told of early Calf

women who have thought and read
along that line. The Reverend Tuson
gave two bright little stories as his
offering to tue afternoons pleasure
Mrs. Morrow, Mrs Joseph Kay and
Mrs Gertrude Andrews also gave read
ings of humorous character. Re-
freshments we're served.

BURNED TO DEATH.

A shocking affair caused by the
dangerous practice IF lighting a fire
with coal oil, occurred at PaIoma on
Sunday afternoon. The victim was
Mrs. Marie Tosa, aged 80 years. Ii
occurred about 4 O'Clock. She was
preparing for the erening meal, and
had started fire, but as it did not
seem to burn freely, she got the coal
oil can, aud poured more of the in
fiamable liquid on the fire. OF
course, the flames communicated to
the contents of the can, and an ex-
plosion occurred. The woman s
clothing was set On fire, and in a
twinkling she was enveIoped in
flames. Her brother and her two
children were in the house at the
time, the first named was asleep. Her
screams awoke him, and rushing out
he seized the IA month old child and
carried it out, and dragged his sister,
as best he could out of the burning
dwelling, some of the framework of
which collapsed just as he made his
exit from it, The building was
utterly consumed with all its con-
tents. Mrs. Tosa was dreadfuIIy
burned about the body. There was no
hope of her recovery from the outset.
She lived between two and three
hours after the accident, and was
conscious up to within few minutes
of the end. She was able to tell how
the fatal occurrence happened. Her
husband is employed at the Gwin
mine, and was working in the m1ne
when the disaster occurred. He was
summoned on top as soon as possible,
reaching his wife's bedside just before
the final scene. Besides her stricken
husband the victim leaves two child
rem, one IA months, and the other
eight years old. The funeral took
place Tuesday morning, the remains
being inferred in the Catholic ceme-
terry of Jackson, Rev. j. j. Gleason
octfiiatIng.

A LOCAL SPILLOUT.

labode Kevokipeck was thrown out
OF an open buggy III front of RADIO
vich's saloon, at the junction OF Main
street and Sutter Greek road, a little
after noon. Thursday of this week.
His right leg was broken at the hip.
The fracture was set, and the uniort-
unate man is getting along as we'll ss
can be expected. JoDh Rodorich was
driving. and Kevokipeck, who has
been i'll for some time, was warned
not to get into the buggy; but he
wanted to tide down to the corner
from the soda works and climbed
aboard. Too short turn was made
in front of the saloon, the wheel
cramped, tipped the buggy over and
snrowing the horse down. Both men
were thrown out, and while neither
Rodovich, The horse, harness nor
buggy were injured in the least, the
sick man was the victim and will be
confined to his bed for some weeks
to come.

MINING NOTES.

Keystone. We understand that Ed
ward Lynch, who has held the super
intendency of this mine for the past
two years, resigned his position last
week, aud has left Amador City. r.
Z. Downs, formerly superintendent
OF the Bunker Hill, has succeeded
him as superintendent. The people of
Amador are we'll pleased at the new
management, and everything about
this bustling little mining town is
expected to move along pleasantly and
tremendously.
Zeila-The Zeila will probably COM
mence next week to make the change
from the old to the new hoist The
hoist has been all ready for some
time, but the work of changing has
been delayed on account of the flow
of water. The water has moderated
greatly, and the change can now be
made without damage from the rise
of water in the shaft The change
will take about two weeks to COM
pIete. The mill will be shut down
tor that length of time, as the ore
bins are only equal to holding about
three days supply.
Wildman MahoDey-it is repoI ted
that good ore has been struck in the
Lincoln ground, now operated by the
Wildman-NIahoney company in run
ming the drift at the depth of 1000
feet towards the MahoDey works.
This will impart new life to Sutter
Greek. The company has been
handicapped by the indebtedness in
CURED for back wages, but has strug-
gled along in the face of all diff
culties. The discovery of a good ore
body in an unexpected quarter will
enable the company to tide over the
financial troubles, and place the pro
perty on good working basis. John
Ross the uperinteudent, has been out
of the state on business relating to
the company's affairs.
Volcano Gold Mine--This quartz
mine situated OH the Mokelumne river
near West Point is being pushed a.
head vigorously. The ten stamp mill
is up as faI as the framework is con
cerned, and the machinery is now be
ing put in position.
Fred Jackson and j. Podesta are
working away on their quartz mine
on the Spagnoli land near Clinton.
They report they have a showing,
some of the rock assaying $50 per ton.
They have quantity of pay ore on

LUTrRELL STATION BURNED.

Luttrell station, on the road to Sill
yer lake, was utterly destroyed by
fire on Thursday of last week. The
fire broke out in the roof around the
stovepipe while preparations were
making for dinner. The upper story
was all ablaZe before the inmates we're
aware of the fact. A neighbor was there
first to give the alarm. Fhe flames
had obtained such headway by this
time that nothing could be done to
avert total loss. A sewing machine
and few other articles we're all that
was saved. The property belonged to
W. H. Glenn, who with his family has
conducted 1t as wayside place for
some years. The fire no doubt was
caused by defective stovepipe. The
loss will foot up $1,000. Whether
there was any insurance Oh the place
or not we have not learned. Anyway
the loss is hevay blow to Capt Glenn,
who bought the station for a perma-
nent home only about four years ago.
Since writing the above we learn that
The property destroyed was insured
in the Niagara for $1,000. l.. j. Fon-
tenrose, when en- route for the noun
tains several weeks back, stopped one
night at Glenn's station, and at that
time the latter took out an insurance
policy covering his entire property.
At the time of the fire Mr. Glenn was
not certain whether the insurance
policy had been issued, as it was in
the hands of the agent.
