MINING NOTES.

Kennedy.-This mine has exper-
fenced a heavy increase in the flow of
water during the past week. At one
point fully two inches is pouring out,
supposed to come from an ore body
IN the vicinity. 1t is encountered at
a point in one of the lower levels
where the east and west lodges form a
junction. The footwall vein in the
27OO level has been opened, and four
feet of it is found to be of fair mill
ing quartz. Everything is running
satisfactorily at both mine and mill.
Fremont-This company is thinking
OF increasing the milling capacity to
sixty stamps. They have 40 in opera
tion at present, and could give steady
occupation to 20 more. Beyond that
number, however, the company enter
tains no thought of going just now.

Notice.

All persons having any claims
against the undersigned at his lumber
yard, will be kind enough to present
them Immediately, and if correct get
receipts for the same and thereby
confer favor. All persons without
distinction, owing bill at the same
lumber yard by coming forward
Immediately and paying the same,
and getting receipts therefor, will
confer equally as great favor.
The stock in yards cannot be kept
up unless parties pay for what they
buy. Short credits, and often turn
ing over capital in trade is conducive
to lower prices, and in the aggregate
more profits.
The above is not a joke, but a
simple business proposition and
please don't forget it, for it is necess-
ary to make change in the methods
of carrying on the Iumter busin sss
in Jackson. Monthly settlements of
all bills will be the rule hereafter.

Jackson to the Front.

A mass meeting was called in this
city Saturday to take measures to
send relieve to the hundreds of thou
sands of sufferers by the San Fran
cisco disaster. The meeting was
largely attended. Several committees
we're appointed to solicit contri-
buttons either in the shape of money,
or provisions. These committees
went around the same afternoon. Of,
course the people responded literally
in such a cause. Over S700 was con-
tributed in cash, also an immense
stock of provisions and articles of
clothing. The committee spent some
of the money in buying goods such
as they thought would be needed. All
the afternoon the stores were poured
into the receiving place in front of
Wells Fargo's express, and the same
night the same was taken by team to
the railroad depot: 1t filled 40 foot
car. It went off next morning. There
were eatables, mostly cooked, in
abundance. 1t was taken to Stockton
Sunday. District Attorney G. P.
Vicini, also V. S. Garbarini, town
trustee, and j. s. Garbarini accom-
panied the car to Stockton, with tho
intention of seeing it loaded on the
boat for San Francisco. Reaching
Stockton there were scores of cars
ahead, and these had to be unIoaded
before the Jackson load had the right
of way. A Sonora relief Car was also
there, but without any attendant.
Sc the Jackson committee went to
work and attended to the. unloading
of this as we'll as their own consign-
ment. 1t first had to be loaded on a
barge, which thereupon took it to
the regular steamer out in the stream
some distance, as a sandbar prevented
the steamer from going up to the
wharf as usual. The committee, ac-
companied by a corp of volunteers
from the sightseers congregated at the
landing, went with the barge, and un-
loaded the freight on the steamer.
1t started on its way to the city at
o'clock that afternoon, and expected
to reach its destination in from seven
to twelve hours. 1t was consigned to
the relief committee at San Fran
cisco. Committees are still at work
gathering relief stores.
Frank H. Duden, secretary -trea-
surer, of relief committee, gives the
following financial statement:
Cash donations received SSO8. 90
Cash pledged not paid 1900
Total S998. 90
In addition to the above lists have
been circulated at each of the mines
none of which have reported sum
collected. Next week the subscrip
tion list will be published in full as
we'll as the entire amount OF disburse-
ments.

S998.OO
Blasted in the Kennedy.

Monday last two Italian miners,
named Joseph and Serafino Garbarino,
brothers, living at jackson Gate,
were injured by the explosion of a
missed or partly missed hole. They
we're working on the 27OO level,
south stope. previous set of holes
had been fred, and it was noticed
that one of the holes had missed. A
fuse was adjusted and this hole was
fired, and thereafter appeared all
right. The two men went to work
picking down the loosened rock,
when suddenly an explosion occurred,
blowing the debris in their faces,
arms and body. Joseph Garbarlno
received the main force of the charge.
1t was evidently not a full charge
that went off, for that would certainly
have killed both of them. AS it was
only light material was thrown out,
with barely sufficient force to pene-
trate the skin, about the face and
arms. Joseph's left eye suffered
severely. He was taken for treatment
to Sacramento Tuesday. 1t is Eeliev-
ed that his sight will be saved. The
other injuries are nut considered
serious. Serafino was pitted about
the body, but nothing dangerous,
and he expects to resume work soon.
1t is believed that the accident
happened by portion of the charge
in the missed hole failing to explode.
No possible precaution could have
avoided such a casualty.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY.


Stephen K. Davis and Miss Edith
M. Coster, both of Sacramento, were
married at nine o'clock last Saturday
morning at the home of the BRIDES
parents, Mr. and Mrs A. j Coster of
Plymouth. Only the near relatives
and few close friends were present
at the ceremony, which was solemn
lied by the Rev. John Appleton of
the M. E. church. The bride, tall and
stately, was never loveIier than in
her exquisite gown of ivory white
crepe de chine over white taffeta silk,
her flowers were white carnations with
maiden hair ferns. Miss p. Coster,
daintily gowned in pale blue silk
muslin and carrying a bouquet of
cream roses, attended her sister as
bridesmaid. The bridegroom had
the support of his brother James L..
Davis of MADEIRA. During the wedd
ing breakfast, the small boys and tin
cans of the town, afforded an accom-
paniment to the toasts that were
drank to the future happiness of the
young couple, and on their departure
to Latrobe they ran the gauntlet of
friends, who showered them with
congratulations and rice. The bride
groom is the eldest son of Mrs j. j.
Davis of Shenandoah, and had spent
most of his life in the valley, but for
the past year had lived in Sacramento,
where he is connected with the Con
servative Life Insurance Company.
The bride Is the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs A. j. Coster of Plymouth,
where she was born and reared, but
for the past three or four years had
been employed as book keeper in
Hale Bros. store in Sacramento
Their honeymoon had been planned
to take in Ventura in "Native Son Is
week" as Mr. Davis was a delegate
from Plymouth parIor, but the dis
aster at San Francisco caused a
change and their destination has not
been decided. They will make their
home in Sacramento, where all good
wishes of their friends follow them.
James l.. Davis of MADEIRA, is visit
ing his parents, Mr. and Mrs j. j.
Davis this week.
Thos D. Davis came home from
Volcano last Friday evening, return
ing to his school on Monday.
Albert Seeley, who is employed on
the Davis ranch, lost fine horse,
and narrowly escaped serious injuries
to himself last Sunday evening He
had been out on horseback during
the day, and on his return his horse
stumbled and fell, breaking its own
neck and pinning its rider beneath
the dead body. Fortunately it hap
pened so near the house that help
was at hand at once. AL was not
hurt beyond badly bruised knee,
but feels the loss of his pet very
sadly. The recent rains we're of de-
cided benefit to the ranchers, who are
now pursuing their belated work with
renewed energy.

Back From Mexico.

John Eudey returned to Jackson
Sunday evening, after an experience
of several months in mining in
Sonora, Mexico. He was employed in
the mill of Reina Delore Gold Mining
Co., mining proposition started in
new district some seven or eight
months ago. 1t is 76 miles from a
railroad. The ore assays $40 per ton,
and they tried to work it by mill
process, the net yield being about
S7-too low to pay. 1t contains base
metals to such an extent that it
could not be worked at profit.
jerry Driscoll is working at the same
mine, and was there when Mr. Eudey
left. He speaks of the condition in
that country as being so very differ
ent, that he is glad to get back to
Amador county. He came home by
way of Los Angeles, and met his
mother, brother and sister at Gait,
on their way home from the fire
stricken city of the bay.

MARINES FIGHT FIRE
Seven Buildings Wiped Out at the Naval Training Station
 at Newport.

Newport. k. l.. Jan 29.-Seven Duild- ings connected with the United States naval training station at Coasters Harbor Island, in this city, were burned last night, causing an estimated loss of s1OO.O00. The buildings de- stroyed were the detention building. machine shop. paint shop, paymaster's storehouse. carpenter shop and two small storehouses.
 The fire was discovered about 9:30 o'clock in the machine shop by a sen try. All the apprentice boys. 1.J00 in number, members of the detachment of marines and enlisted men, answered the call to quarters and bucket bri- gade was formed. but was unable 10 check the fire owing to strong north west wind. and aid from the Newport fire department was asked and the na- rines and boys devoted their energies 10 saving a portion of the stores. The safe was opened by the paymaster and all the money and official documents were removed and placed under a guard of marines.
 One of the burned buildings con tained all of the small boats and cut ters used for practice purposes at the station.
 Several apprentices in single irons were confined in the detention building at the time the fire started. Physical Instructor Joseph Kirby liberated them by a heroic effort. When he reached the detention building he could not see the young prisoners on account of smske. but they answered his call. Supported by line of men. Kirby made his way te the spot where the boys were in confinement. and passed them back one by one to the men behind him. and so on out to the sea wall. In passing over the sea wall two of the manacled boys fell over board. but were rescued. They were sent tO barracks for the rest of the night.

NEGRO CONFESSED
Parents of Child He Assaulted Begged That He be Not
 Lynched.

Chicago, Jan 29.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington, Ga. says: Following a criminal assault on Il 1G year-old girl by negro, who was cap tured by mob. the assailant's fate was in doubt yesterday while the par ents of the girl were pleading for anG against burning him at the stake
 Mrs Roberts, weeping, begged that the law be allowed to take it's course, and her husband continued to incite the mob to lynch the negro. She then appealed to her husband to aid her in preventing the lynching. She said flat to put the assailant to death within hearing of the girl would be almost as cruel to the child as the negrO's act.
 Roberts. after some hesitation, came to his wife's side and joined his en- treaties with hers. Their united eff forts convinced the mob that to lynch the negro would add to the wrong al ready done the child. and it was agreed to turn the assailant over to the sheirff.
 Mamie Roberts was attacked Satur- day as she was returning from neigh bOr's home by Rich Anderson, a negro employed by her father. As soon as the child reached her home with the story posses with bloodhounds began pursuit of Anderson.
 The negro was captured yesterda- in swamp and taken to Roberts's home. where it was planned to have him identified by the children and then lynch him. When the mob arrived at the Roberts home the negro confessed his guilt.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Promoters of Cock Fighting Were Rudely Interrupted by Detect
 i've Dodds and His Men.

It was too bad that 1t could not have taken place. but Detective Dodds and his men are not sleeping. so the cock fight which was scheduled to come of in Beach's barn on the Thomaston road on Saturday evening was nipped in the bud. The sports had all gath cred from Watertown. Naugatuck. Union City and Waterbury. and the first contest was about to begin when DOdds and a few officers to assist him appeared. Immediately there was a dash for the exits. but the detective told the spectators not to he alarmed as there would be no arrests. The sports. although somewhat disap- pointed because their plans were up- set. still had much consolation in the fact that they were not taken To the police station.
 There were almost 100 lovers of this kind of entertainment present and the contests were to have been between birds from watertown and Union City. The men arrived at the spot where the battle was to take place in hacks and carriages. IL Is understood that on the night of January n q lit- tie main of the same sort was to have been pulled of by The same people. hut in a different vicinity. There was a hitch in the plans. the slate was changed. Saturday night was chosen instead and the raid resulted.

MooDUs CENTER WIPED OUT.
The Total Loss is Estimated at SJ0,'
 0OO-Stolen Goods Found.

NIodus, Jan 29.-Fire that was dis. covered about 3 o'clock yesterda. morning practically wiped out the cen ter of the town, totally destroying the three general stores, the postoffice, pro bate office, music hall and barber shop. The total loss is estimated al S50.000.
 The fire was discovered by Pole. who lived a short distance down the street. One of his children was sick and he started up town for a doctor. The building occupied by Purple X Silliman. general merchants, was prac- tiaclly enveloped in flames and the Pole. seeing that the fire would com municate to the next building, rushed up stairs to alarm the family of Charles Spencer. who occupied rooms above the store of T. R. Spencer.
 From the Purple X Silliman building the Spencer store caught fire and the flames swept on 10 the store of Morris Iavensky. The Spencer building con tains the pos,office and the men has. barely time to rescue the mail. Over the postofiice was the probate office. q music hall.and barber shop run by Themas Higgins. Higgins got in aid saved his razors. but before he could get anything else a shet of flame en- yeloped the room and he had to re- treat.
 The residence of Charles Eberle was threatened. but the crowd managed to prevent this taking fire bg means of wet blankets. which they handled to good advantage.
 The theory is that the fire was set either purposely or by accident b! burglars, for when those who arrived first made an investigation they found that the rear door of Purple and Sill mans store was open and that pane of glass had been smashed. Spells, evidently taken from the store by burglars, were found later in the day by the roadside about three miles east from Moodus, toward West Chester. The booty consisted of canned goods and stockings.
 Yesterday afternoon the safe in the probate office was opened and the rec ords were found to he all right, al. though the heat had So affected ths binding of the books that the volumes will have to be rebound. The build ings were all wooden structures and were owned by those who had stores i'm them. Levensky's stock was 'in- sured for SsO00. Purple X Sillimans for s6.JO0 and Spencer's for S6.DCo. Higgins Is unable to estimate his loss.
