Buying up Mules.

Three agents for the parties build
ing the immense construction works
near Murphy's, in Calaveras county,
were in Amador county last week,
buying up all the mules they could
get hereabouts. They purchased four
teen head from A. Piccardo of Jack
son for $1,000. They were old, we'll
broken mules. The price paid was
deemed very satisfactory. We are
told they also secured thirteen head
from George Allen of Sutter Creek,
and ten from Giannini of Drytown,
besides a few other scattering pur-
chases. They want 200 animals, not
alone for the big works in process of
construction for the proposed electric
power plant in Calaveras county, but
to ship outside. We learn. that some
OF these mules will be turned out at
Camp Seco, until shipped to their
respective destinations. By this sale
A. Piccardo has disposed of all his
stock, outside of the animals necess-
ary to conduct his treightinR business
from the Martell depot to Jackson,
which requires some fourteen horses
and mules. This means his retire
ment from the Iog-hauling business
from the mountains to the mines OF
the mother lode. The price of the
logs has reached point that it is
impossible to conduct such hauling
at reasonable profit. Much of the
mining timbers have been coming
from the outside for years, and this
year it is expected that this trade will
be given to the railroads to greater
extent than ever.

SWearingen taken to Folsom.

Samuel j. Swearingen, reported TO
be the worst criminal that ever set
foot in the county Jail, was taken to
Folsom prison by Sheriff Norman
yesterday morning, to enter upon his
term of life Imprisonment in that
institution for the murder OF Mrs
Phoebe Williams in Lancha Plana in
June last. He was handcutfed, and
the officer and prisoner went by stage
to Martell's, occupying seats with the
driver on the outside. Swearingen
was arrested in July last, and has
been confined in the county Jail ever
since. - saded guilty as an ac-
complice in the murder of Mrs Will
Jams claiming that he took no hand
in the actually killing, but stood
guard on the outside while Murphy
committed the murder. He denied
all knowledge of the murder of the
boy, Chester Maker, the grandson of
Mrs Williams. Murphy, according
to his story, took him away from the
house, and returned alone. On his
confession of guilt, the court sentenc-
ed him to Imprisonment for life in
Folsom. lie was used as the star
witness IN the trial of Murphy The
jury, however, dIscredited his testi-
mony to the extent of acquitting the
accused. 1t transpired after that trial
that Swearingen told different
story, still duplicating Murphy as the
prime mover in the two murders, but
admitting that he was present at the
killing of Maker. The grand jury
was called, and charge of murder
was presented against Swearingen
for the killing of Maker, and a true
bill found. The case was set for trial
in May. In trying one for murder
who was already under sentence of
life Imprisonment, capital punish
ment was the only additional penalty
that could beCimposed. After waiting
months, 1t was concluded by the pro-
secution to indefinitely postpone the
trial, and send the prisoner to his
destination in Folsom prison. Swear
ingen is a small, wIry individual,
weighing about 140 pounds. but is
about the most cold blood criminal
ever handled by the authorities here.
A sense of relief is experienced in
having him out of the county.

New Bids for Mail Contract.

The post office department is call
ing for new bids for carrying the
mails between Plymouth and jackson,
under an entirely different time
schedule. The proposals call for
daily service, seven days a week.
between these two points, leaving
Plymouth at a. m. and thence to
jackson, by way of Drytown, Amador
City and Sutter Creek, reaching
jackson at 8: 30 a. m. Leaving Jack
son on the return trip at :25 p. m.
and arriving at Plymouth at 8 O'Clock
p. m. This means that the stage will
take up the mail for the towns north
at Martell, on arrival OF the train at
that station. By this arrangement
SutteI Creek will get its mail as here
tofore, Amador City and Drytown
will be served via Martell, instead of
the CaIbondale route, being a gain of
one hours time for Amador, and a
loss of about the same time for Dry
OOWI. 1J Will I6C6lN0 It's ludll
via Carbondele as at present. Bids
will be received up to the 9th day of
May. The contract is to run for four
years from the 1st day of July next.
The successful bidder will be required
to furnish bond in the sum of $4,000.
The department is calling for bids
for new mail route, rendered necess-
ary by the change in time schedule
of the Jackson and Plymouth line
This route is between Drytown and
the Central House, one mile in
length. 1t is to convey the local mail
from the towns along the mineral
belt-between jackson and Drytown,
addressed to Plymouth and OIeta,
from Drytown to meet the mail stage
between Plymouth and CarbondaIe.
A mail route one mile long is a
novelty. The bond required of the
contractor is 5000.

The LedouX Murder Case.

Z. H. Crocker, senior counsel for
the defendant in tine celebrated Nc
Vicar murder case, returned from a
visit to Stockton last Monday even
ing. He reports that the defendant,
Mrs LedouX was brought before the
court that morning to plead to the
Indictment, and entered plea of not
guilty. There was no demurrer put
in, nor motion to quash the indict-
ment. In fact no technical objections
whatever we're raised. 1t seems to be
the policy of the defense to make a
straight out fight. By mutual agree
ment the trial was set for Tuesday,
May %. A third attorney on the
defendants side has been engaged in
the person of Chas. II. Fairall, a
well-known criminal lawyer of Stock
ton. He is said to be an expert on
criminal law, and is the author of a
standard work just published on that
branch of jurisprudence.
District Attorney Norton of San
Joaquin county, was in Jackson the
past week, hunting up, it is presum-
ed, evidence in this noted case. Some
interior papers claim that the pro-
secution is lacking in motive for
the crime.
The district attorn ey and a steno-
graphic reporter, visited the Head
ranch in quest of evidence; but with
what result of course it is impossible
to say

Turned Over to the City.

A meeting of citizens, representing
the jackson fire company was held in
the superviors' room on Tuesday
evening. 1t was called for the special
purpose of taking steps to turn over
the property of the company, together
with the future management of fire
matters, to the city trustees. There
was no opposition to this program.
Indeed, it was conceded to be the
proper thing to do. Henry Garbarini,
K. l. Kerr and M. Newman were
appointed on a committee to formally
turn over the assets and liabilities to
the city, which will be done at the
next meeting of the trustees.
The property is valued at several
thousand dollars; the liabilities
assumed by the city is S114.77. 1t
will devolve upon the trustees to hire
some cne to see that the apparatus is
kept in working order, and also to
appoint a fire chief to take command
in the emergency of fire.

MINING NOTES.

Sulphurets Saving Plant. The
sulphurets saving plant erected last
summer in the canyon of Jackson
creek about half mile west of town
by Messrs Chase and Boydston, has
been temporarily abandoned. The
machinery has been taken out and re-
moved to Amador City. 1t is rumor-
ed that this does not by any means
imply the permanent giving up of
the undertaking. The plant was not
on sufficiently large scale to handle
the mass of material flowing down
the creek. In a few months, it is
stated, bigger plant will be put in.
One thousand dollars per day is the
estimated loss from the mills around
here. All this value is represented
by gold bearing shines and sulp-
hurets, and some free gold, that
escapes from the mills in spite of all
the precautions that can be taken.
10 save even two or three per cent
OF this amount would pile up a
fortune in few years. Some one
will surely hit upon a plan to do
this.

Lost his Finger, but Kept at Work.

Lewis Lamb, of the carpentering
firm of Lamb and Wishard of Jack
son, has been at Carbondale for the
past two weeks, at work with his
partner in building clay sheds at that
place. He was the victim of painful
accident one day last week. In driv-
ings "a nail, his sleeve caught in some
way at the elbow, DETECTING the blow,
which landed full force on the tip of
the first finger of his left hand, mash
ing it to a pulp. He repaired i'm
mediately to lone, and had the finger
amputated at the first joint, and
thereuron went straight back and
resumed his carpentering work as
though nothing had happened. The
injury was exceedingly painful, but
he had the grit to keep right on in
spite OF the pain.

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE.
Jackson and Every Portion OF
AmadOr Felt the Shock.

About fifteen minutes past five
Wednesday morning, jackson ex-
perienced the severest earthquake
shock known in its history. Many
citizens were awakened by the shock.
Those who were awake when it started,
and therefore realized its full sever
ity, say that never before have they
felt such long continued and violent
motion of the earth. The vibrations
seemed to have northerly and south
ern direction. The tremors lasted
some say full half minute. Starting
in gently, as if we were on the outer
edge of the internal distur bance, and
gaining in violence. The swaying
motion like the pendulum of clock,
embraced distance of several inches.
Others appear to think that the
motion was more of a perpendicular
and downward character, rather than
horizontal. Bedsteads rocked to and
fro, electric and gas fixtures swinging,
as if struck by mighty wind. Tim
Eers creaked, and strange noices ac-
complained the seismic disturbance.
Every part of the county seems to
have been involved in the shock, more
or less, but as far as we have heard
there has been no damage done.
