For a Reservoir Site.

Last week surveyor was operating
around Volcano, the object being to
take measurements of altitude with
the view of ascertainlng the avail
ability of the Volcano basin for a
reservoir. That basin has always
been looked upon as one of the best
reservoir sites in the county. With
comparatively small cost in building
dam at the canyon where the water
discharges into Sutter creek, vast
lake could be created, which in depth
and area would give an immense
storage capacity. 1t is reported that
there is a movement on foot in this
direction, the project being to use
the water for power and for domestic
use for bay cities. By means OF
tunneling. it Is believed that the
water could be conveyed to the power
plant at Electra. Little is being said
about this matter. Naturally such a
scheme is kept quiet until the proper
time has arrived for publicity. OF
course there would be some opposition
to the conversion of Volcano townsite
into a reservoir. Sentimental OBJ
jections would be raised, and sanitary
reasons would be urged against such
scheme. These, however, are not
considered weighty, and after all it
is not improbable that something
practical in this direction will be
developed in the near future.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an iniamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case. of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Must Get Written Permit to Fish.

The authorities of the Standard
Electric Company have thus early in
the fishing season, reached the de-
cision that hereafter. it Will be
necessary for fishing parties to secure
a written permit before engaging il
this sport at Tabeaud reservoir.
Heretofore permission has been given
over the telephone and other ways.
The person securing the permit may
take number uf others with him.
The man in charge at the reservoir
had simply to take the word of the
individual that he was clothed with
the verbal permit. The privilege has
been abused already; gates have been
left open, signs torn down, and other
petty annoyances perpetrated. Mr.
Bragg has issued written permits, and
some have been left with the game
warden, Chez Ardltto, in jackson,
who is authorized to issue the same
to applicants. This course is taken
w PiONChb uOuSCS3 anu W Iue
company to keep track of those who
go to the lake to fish. The permits
read as follows:
jackson -, 1906.
We, the undersigned hereby give
permission to the bearer, Mr. - to
fish in Tabeaud reservoir, on the date
above written.
By accepting this permit the bearer
agrees that all fish caught, which are
less than six inches in length, are
to be put back into said reservoir as
soon as caught, and also that hook
and line will be the only means
employed in catching fish; that no
fires will be built in the bushes or
at places where the lumber will be
in danger of catching fire and that all
gates will De closed, and that no
damage will be done to the property
of the undersigned company.

Scarcity of Miners.

Complaint Is being made on account
of the scarcity of skilled miners
throughout Amador county. 1t is
claimed that from 80 to 100 more
miners could be given employment
in our mines, and that the men are
not to be had here. Advertisements
have been placed in labor agencies in
the cities, and some good hands
secured thereby, still the demand
greatly exceeds the supply. First
class miners get from 50 to So so per
day. There is no scarcity of common
labor such as shovelers. 1t is drill
men with hand or machine drills,
also timber men, and machine tenders
that are needed. One reason assign
ed for this scarcity just now, is that
many men rushed off to San Fran
cisco, attracted by the high wages of
81 per day offered for hod carriers
and helpers. Men from the mines
go there, but almost invariably they
cannot stand such work more than
few days, on account of its Iaborious
character, and the binding dust from
the debris moving. The Central
Eureka, South Eureka, keystone,
Wildman, Kennedy and others, could
employ number of good miners if
they were obtainabIe. The famine of
miners is serious question with
mother lode mines just now.

The annual meeting of the Phoenix fire department, held last night, was about the most unanimous thing that ever happened except the anti-joint statehood vote at the fair grounds and concerning statehood the department also entered up a protest enthusiasti- cally and without a dissenting voice. There was scarcely enough contest for the offices to keep the blood of the candidates in circulation. Neverthe- less the meeting was not gloomy one nor was there lack of interest There was a very good attendance of the members though perhaps not quite so large turnout as there would have been had there been a contest on. The only office for which there was any semblance of a fight was that of as sistant chief, for which there were three candidates. Charles w. Barnett however had the long string and It was made unanimous and without pre- judice. The officers elected are as fol- lows

PERISHED IN A LANDSLIDE.
An Extraordinary and Horrible Acci
 dent at Haverstraw, N. Y.

Haverstraw, N. Y. Jan. S.-Sixteen persons are believed to have perished in a landslide which occurred here about II o'clock last night. Reports this morning are to the effect that the dead were from prominent families in the town. The landslide occurred at the end of Rockland steeet and eight houses were carried over a clay bank into a brick excavation, dropping down a hundred feet.
 The slide is supposed to have been caused by the fact that those working in tie brick yards dug too neal. to the end of the street. Most of the people were in bed when the catastrophe took place. Immediately after the slide the houses caught fire and the persons who went down perished in the flames it is believed.
 At 2:45 this morning the fire was still burning and it was impossible to ascertain definitely the number ol dead.

 The newly elected chief brought up the question of the desirability of the department, in accordance Nwith sug- gestions made at the recent territoria convention, affiliating with the na tional organization of firemen. It was disclosed that the department as such could not join the national association but that each company acting separ- ately, might do so. The subject there fore was not timely for departmental! discussion but it was suggested that the chief take up the question with each company individually.
 A number of minor matters were acted upon and as usual the newly chosen officers all made the proper acknowledgment of their appreciation of confidence reposed in them.

 One of the firemen was seriously in- jured by falling debris. The loss, it is believed, will reach or exceed $20J,00 against which there is an insurance of $S0,000, permitted by special act of the legislature. An immense stained glass memorial window, given to the college by the students and alumni was destroyed.
 The wind swept the fire round to the chapel building and it was with the ut most difficulty that any building in the college group was saved. Both in the college and in the presidents residence, priceless rcords and literary collections were lost.

Webster, Mass, Jan. 8-An inves tigation has shown that starvation due to the woman's refusal to take food or medicine caused the death of Mrs. Mary Gogoluiski which occurred at the town farm Tuesday night.
 The woman was undoubtedly in- sane. She was found about six weeks ago in a basement in which she had been living, partly unconscious from hunger and exposure. She was remov ed to the town farm, where she baked every attempt to put nourishing food into her system.
