Lucky Chinaman.

Jim, the Chinese cook at the Clio be
hotel, is the luckiest Mongolian here
abouts. AS thanksgiving present he
received the information that the
ticket, or rather halt ticket NO. 1894,
held by him in the Mexican lottery
distribution, had drawn the sum of
$1,000. The ticket cost him 81, and it
was the first dollar he had ever in
vested in that venture. Furthermore
it was not bought directly by him
self, but by Chinaman in the Olym-
pus restaurant. Jim Isb naturally
greatly elated over his good fortune.
This is the biggest winning in a
lottery scheme that has fallen to a
jackson resident for a long time. 1t
will probably give quite an impetus
to the sale of tickets. A few prizes,
amounting to few dollars each are
heard of occasionally, but a windfaIl
of a clean thousand is novelty.
There is talk that lucky Jim intends
to take trip to China on the strength
OF his sudden wealth.

MINING NOTES.

Iella-This mine was shutdown, 81
far as the extraction of ore is con
cerned, last Friday in order to do the
necessary repairs to the shaft. The
mill also came to standstilI early
this week. The sulphurets works
are still running, and have enough
concentrates on hand to last about
three weeks. Over sixty miners we're
laid off, for the time being. How
long the shaft repairing will take to
complete is very uncertain; probably
from three to four months. There is
only one shaft at this mine, so that
1t is impossible to keep the mill
supplied with ore and do the repair
ing at the same time.
Del Monte-This mine, in Sheep
ranch district, in Calaveras county.
came to standstill the close of last
month. The shut down is for an in:
definite period. Some fine ore was
taken out in the last months run.
Three quarters of ton yielded SI2O
in free gold. There was but small
seam Of it. The managers, who are
mostly Jackson people, concluded
that it was advisable to close, and
straighten out the financial affairs.
Geo. l. Wright, who is the prom otter
and also the superintendent and
general manager, has secured a lease
on promising claim in the heart of
the GoldheId district, : one of the
claims owned by Claude Smith, and
intends to go there and commence
operations. He has strong hopes of re-
oouplng in this new venture all the
money that has been spent at Del
Monte. He Will distribute as a free
Offering to all Del Monte stock
holders. whose stock stands on the
books of the company free of all
Indebtedness on the lst of January
next, two shares of the GoldfieId
stock for every share OF Del Monte
stock. He expects to go east shortly
- p-4S P1A POoO VI lldCluB SOm6 OF
the promotion stock there for work
ing purposes.
Fremont-A Itch pocket has been
struck in this mine. Samples of the
ore may be seen at the Amador Bank.
They show free gold in abundance.
The ore is very similar in appear
ance to that known as "black metal. -
The gold is mainly coated with dark
sulphuretted ore, which subjected to
heat shows the free gold. Some fifty
boxes of this ore have been taken out,
and it is estimated that it is worth
$4,000 to the ton. The Fremont is
looking we'll, and paying a handsome
profit over operating expenses. Harry
Osborne is foreman, and his work is
giving excellent satisfaction. He is
we'll posted on methods of mining on
the mother lode of Amadop, and this
knowledge gives him decided ad
vantage over those not conversant by
actual experience with the conditions.

sustained a fracture of the hip,
caused by a fall while about her
house work; for not withstanding her
weight of years she was able to care
tor herself up to that time. She
never recovered from this accident,
except sufficiently to be carried from
bed to a chair. On the morning in
question, her daughter, Mrs Palmer,
who had been attending to her wants,
placed her from the bed in chair as
usual, and went to prepare break
fast. Noticing some change, she
ATTEMPTED to lit her for the purpose
of taking her back to bed. but found
she was unable to do so. She there
upon left the house to call assistance
from a neighbor near by. When
they returned the old lady had passed
from the land of the living. Death
was but the act of falling asleep, after
Iife's long labor.
She was born in England, January
%, 1910 She leaves one daughter,
Mrs Rule os Anador, and several
grandchildren, among the latter
being Mrs Thos. Lemin of jackson,
and Mrs Wales Palmer of Bunker
