MARTHA E. ODELL.
A Clever Woman Operating in
Matrimonial and Mining Fields.

| The police and the postal authori
ties OF San Francisco, according tt
Wednesdays Examiner, are invest
igating the doings of Martha r. OdeI
IN the matrimonial bureau business
and also in the way of a mining pro
moter. This lady claims to have min
ing properties in Amador county, o.
great value, and is said to have in
duced several of the unsophisticate6
to part with their earning by glowing
reports of their richness, and the
prospects Of great wealth by the in.
vestment therein. Few persons in
Amador county will be able to locate
these mineral treasures that this
woman promoter has boosted into the
foreground. Certainly they are not
located on the mother lode. And, il
they we're off the main belt, and one
tenth as important as they are said
to be the Amador public would have
heard something of them. 1t is fact
however, that Martha E. Odell is in
terested in some alleged mineral land
in the eastern section of the county.
1t is claimed as placer and quartz.
But we are not aware that an ounce
of gold has been extracted from any
of them under her control.
Some four or five years ago she
located a placer claim adjoining
Lockwood station. When theLockwood
homestead was advertised for final
proof, mining locations we're filed on
a portion of it. 1t was not worked
for mining, and the homestead
claimant never dreamed of the stores
of gold said to be stored by nature
within the limits of the agricultural
claim. However by means of the
mining location, and threatened law
suit if the land was not thrown out,
an effort was made to get title.
The bluff did not work out as de-
signed, but Mrs Odell afterwards
succeeded in buying from the Lock
wood heirs for a small sum the land
embraced in the placer location.
These are the principal mine holdings
of the female promoter. Several
have been persuaded to put their time
and money in these visionary mines,
but no one has ever heard of any
substantial returns, although the re-
ports of a substantial out go are
brought to light once in while. We
are glad that such schemes are being
exposed. The mining interests of the
county suffer when such preposter rous
of gold deposits are per-
mitted to be foated without protest.
She is also said to have controlling
interest in the Ogalalla quartz claim
in Plymouth mining district
An examination of the records
shows that M. E. Odell figured in the
location, transfer or. purchase Of the
following mining claims in Robinson
district, above Volcano; Snowsto1m,
Davis, Blue Bird, New Lincoln,
Golden Rod and Excelsior Drift.

A Native of Jackson Dies Suddenly

A message received by Oscar E.
Reichling Monday night announcing
the death of his sister, Olga. wife of
Anton, Obert in San Francisco that
day. From the meager particulars
received, 1t seems that Mr. Obert lett
his home about one O'Clock that day
after lunch, leaving his wife in usual
health. On his return home shortly
after five the same afternoon he was
horrif1ed to find his life companion
lying on the floor dead. Death is
supposed to have been caused by
heart disease. Deceased was born
in Jackson over forty years ago, and
was the Oldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs P. Reichling. She spent her
childhood and girlhood days here,
and for time was teacher in the
schools of this county. She was a
woman of many estimable traits of
character, and her untimely and
lonely death is blow not alone to
the relatives, but to host of admir-
ing friends throughout the county.
Besides the sorrowing and aged
parents, she leaves three sisters, Mrs
David G. Chambers, Mrs Lily D.
Reichling Dyer, and Miss Wanda
Reichling and two brothers, Walter
G. Reichling, all of San Francisco,
and Oscar K. Reichling of Jackson.
Following the receipt of the sad news
the latter left for the city Tuesday
morning.

Treasurer Gritton Recovering.


Geo. A. Gritton, who submitted to
critical operation for appendicitis
in San Francisco two weeks ago, is
getting along nicely. He is still at
sanitarium on Post street,
attended by his wife. He is now
believed to be out of danger. Mrs
Gritton has written to her daughters
here saying that she expects to return
home next week, that Mr. Gritton is
on the road to permanent recovery,
although he may have to remain
under the doctors care in the city
for some weeks yet. This good news
will be most gratifying to the legion
of friends of the county treasurer in
Amador county.

Paper for Amador City.

A man named Camp, from Oak
land, arrived in Jackson the latter
part of last week, to negotiate for
the purchase of the old Herald plant,
owned by F. M. Whitmore, and which
has been stored in the lumber yard
for the past three years. Camp was
here about two years ago, for two
weeks, working for the Ledger He
was then tavorably impressed with
Amador City as field for the news
paper business. He succeeded in
purchasing the printing material from
Mr.. Whitmore, and took the outfit
to Amador City today. The middle
portion of the mother lode must be
locking up to warrant another
journalistic venture within two miles
of an established paper. We do not
know what political complexion the
forthcoming paper is to be.

Alcohol.

BY recent act of Congress de-
natured alcohol has been put on
the free list. Heretofore a tax of
two dollars per gallon has been as
sessed against all alcohol, but this
is now removed on the denatured
product, which is the common al
cohol of commerce with a poison
added making it dangerous to
drink but leaving it in the best of
condition for light, heat and fuel
purposes.
1t is claimed by experts that it
can be made to retail for from ten
to fifteen cents per gallon and that
few years will see it supplanting,
gasoline for lamps, stoves aud en-
gines. One gallon of it being
equal in value to the same guam
tity of gasoline, will make it Goa
petitor with that article and tend
to bring it down in price. The
changes in equipment necessary
to transform gasoline lamp, stove
or engine into one for alcohol are
slight and inexpensive.
The source of alcohol is all vege-
tables such as beets, sugar
cane, molasses, wine, grape pulp,
fruits, potatoes, rice, yams. corn,
roots, etc. The demand for these
products will be increased, thus
raising their value.
