A LONE MINER SUICIDE.

An old time miner, named William
Becker, committed suicide some time
Saturday evening, it is supposed, at
his cabin on Russell hill, above Nc
LaughIin's station. The body was
found Sunday morning near his
cabin. A pistol by his side, and a
wound in his temple told the story
of his death. He had been drinking
heavily of late, and it is thought
that in a moment of delerium, caused
by indulgence in liquor, he commit
ted the rash act, placing the muzzIe
of the weapon to his right temple.
The bullet made its exit on the op-
posite temple. The coroner went up
Sunday and held an inquest before
the following jurors: NJ. Robinson,
Geo. Lucot, j. R. Byrd, H. Luttrell
and Louis A. Ferry. verdict of
suicide was returned. Deceased was
buried in Volcano on Monday last.
Becker had been around Volcano,
working at mining, for the past Is
years. He was So years of age, and a
native of Germany. So far as known
he has no relatives in this county.

MINING NEWS.

Red Cloud-This quartz claim sit
uated on Murphy's ridge and owned
by W. and j. Moon. is being worked
on small scale. A new shaft is be-
ing sunk by means of a whim. In
dications are considered very favor
able for the development of a mine.
Defender-Mining operations are at
standstill at this property the
leading claim in Pioneer district.
The old engine collapsed some days
ago. They are at work putting in a
new one. The machinery is on the
ground and being placed in position
as fast as possible. The mine is look
ing very promising, and is being
worked on lease, the lessees paying
a percentage of the gross product to
the owners. Both paries are we'll sat
isfied with the arrangements so far.
Zeila-The machinery of the new
hoist is nearly all in place. The
change from the old to the new can
not be made at present, on account
of the strong flow of water in the
mine. When the change is made,
everything will have to be at a stand
still for at least two weeks. Until
the water subsidies somewhat, it is
deemed unadvisable to run the risk
of damage from this source by stop
page of all underground operations,
including the hoisting of water, for
such length of time. 1t is probable
therefore that the new hoist will not
be in commission before the latter
part of May or early in June.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Crushed to neath by the Kennedy Hosting
Machinery.

Last Saturday afternoon man
named Marcus Jorgenson was in
some unexplained manner caught in
the machinery of the big hoist at the
east shaft of the Kennedy mine, and
his life cushed out instantly. No
one witnessed the accident, AMI how
it happened is purely matter of sur
mise. No outcry was heard, and the
known. It is believed that the fatal
shock gave no opportunity to the vic
tim to utter a signal of distress. The
man was employed in cleaning up
around the works. He had been so
employed for five or six months. He
was accustomed to move around this
ponderous machinery when in mo-
tion. His lifeless body was discnv-
cred about 4 80 in the afternoon. 1t
was PROSTATE on the floor. How long
it had been there is not known, but
probably not over half an hour. The
ribs on the left side Immediately over
the heart were crushed in, and the
vital organ itself was involved, which
accounts for the sudden swapping of
the thread of life.
He had crawled under the machin-
cry to do some cleaning up. Both
shirt sleeves we're rolled up to the
elbows. He was lying under the
counter weight, a ponderous piece
of metal that moves slowly. While
working under it, this weight must
have struck him in descending, and
crushed his life out.
An inquest was held by coroner
Huberty the following day with the
following named jurors: E. W. Kelly,
j. McCutchen, Chas. Reininger, J.
H. Thrasher, Paul Beauhemin, Paolo
Cassella, 6. l.. Wishard and M. Ford.
The verdict was accidental death.
Deceased was 81 years old, and
native of Denmark. He had worked
around the mines of Amador City
and Jackson for many years He has
no relatives in this county, although
it is claimed he has a sister in his
native country. In his trunk Was
found S921 20 in cash. 1t is also re-
ported that he was interested in min
ing property in the neighborhood of
Amador City.
The funeral was held Monday, the
remains being inferred in Jackson
cemetery.
One who knew him we'll IN Amador
says be was one of the noted char
acters of that vicinity: where he had
been for nearly 30 years. He was one
of the neatest and cleanest men in
this state, in any way you can men
tion, personally or in character; ever
ready to help any one, very charit-
able, and lover of the dumb ami
mails, and would always defend them
whenever he saw any one maltreating
them. l have known him to spend
time and money doctoring a poor
horse that had been severely injured
by barbed wire fence. He was
very quiet man, great reader, and
we'll posted in current events and
past history.

RAILROAD NOTES.

At the meeting of the stockholders
of the lone and Eastern Railroad,
held at the general Office of the com
pany in San francisco, April 18th,
the following officers and directors
were elected for the ensuing year
Charles Erickson, president and gen.
eral manageri Jackson Dennis, vice.
president; r. Z. Crist, treasurer; W.
o. Manson, I'll. P. Hoey, f. j. Solin-
sky, VIM. Pardy; Geo. Henry, secre-
tary.
The road is making satisfactory
progress. The track is laid to this
side of Cyclone station. Several sur
veys have been run to the east shaft
of the Kennedy mine. 1t is no longer
doubtful that the line will run to
that point, whether by means of a
spur or the main track we are unable
to say. A side track is being built at
Cyclone, so as to ship oil and other
mining supplies to that point immedi-
ately, thereby saving the two and g
half miles of haulage from Ranlett.

COMMITTED FOR INSANITY.

A specially sad case of insanity oc-
cupied the attention of the superior
court last Monday. F. W. Knapp, an
old and respected resident sof Oleta,
was the alleged insane man, and it
was evident to the casual observer
that he was off his balance. There
was vacant stare in his eyes, that
told plainly that the soul had ceased,
as it we're, to look through its old
time channels. In early days he was
a school teacher In the northern end
of the county, and was looked upon
as a man of more than ordinary in
telligence. He gave his age as IA,
but from appearances one would
judge him to be considerably older.
A son, accompanied by Lee Yates and
another citizen, brought him to the
county seat for examination. He has
wife and son and daughter, but so
far was his mind upset that be was
unable to recognize them. In fact he
said he had two sons. His speech was
incoherept and totally unintelligible
at times. The examining physicians
noticed that he had suffered from a
stroke of paralysis, his tongue and
speech bearing evidences of such an
attack. The witnesses testified that he
was inclined to be violent at times,
and needed constant watching to pre-
vent him from wandering off. The
mental decline had been coming on
for nine or ten years, and for the last
four years had become more pro-
nounced. He was committed to the
Stockton asylum.

HEAVY INCREASE IN POST OF
FICE BUSINESS.

The receipts of the post Office is
always considered reliable index of
the rise or fall of business in any
community. Judged from theis view
point it is gratifying to know that the
business of Jackson shows large
gain over the preceding year. For
the fiscal year ending March 81, 1905,
the receipts of our local post office
we're s5148.98, being an increase of
s511. 80 over the income of the pre-
vions year. This is the largest gain
of many years. For the years 1902 to
1904 inclusive, the revenue showed a
trifling gain, not sufficient to entitle
to any increase of salary. The re-
ceipts this year being in excess of So,
600, entities the postmaster to an in
crease of 800, making the salary
81, ZOO instead of 81, 600,

of those who we're quickly on the
scene are inclined to believe that it
was broken open for the purpose of
getting the hose to play upon the
flames. This is confirmed by j. S.
Gar barini, who says that he used an
AK in breaking in this door.
The property consumed and dam
aged by this second fire was partially
covered by insurance. The gallery
building, owned by W. Kay, was in
sured in the Firemans Fund for $3.50.
This will not half cover the loss. The
contents of the gallery, owned by G..
Mcmillan, and on which Wallace Kay
also had an interest, were insured fol-
s1100, which will fully cover the
loss. The brick part of the Kay
building is fully protected by insur7
ance. The damage in the Freeman
store and the basement of the Kay
building, is also covered by insur-
ance. The total loss will amount to
fully $4,000, insured for about $4,000.
