Memorial Day.

In jackson memorial day was OBJ
served Wednesday afternoon on a
larger scale than ever before known
here. From to o'clock the busi-
ness houses were nearly all closed.
while the program arranged for the
occasion was being presented. Last
year the Knight of Phythias inaugu
rated the custom of observing this
day set apart Dy the nation in memory
of heroes who fell and those who
survived the great struggle for the
national life, but who have since
sojourned to their long rest. This
year the Native Sons and Native
Daughters organization requested per
mission to join the observance. So
the exercises were held under the
auspices of the knights of Pbythias,
Excelsior Parlor of N. s. 6. W. and
Ursula Parlor, N. D. &. W. Shortly
alter one O'Clock the members of
these lodges formed on Main street
between sixty and seventy strong.
The features of the Native Daughters
procession was two garlands of flowers
we're carried, each reaching the entire
length of the procession, one on
either side, and each member taking
hand in bearing the same. The
procession was headed by the jackson
band. After a short march, they fled
into the hall where the exercises we're
held. The hall was packed to its
utmost capacity; the seating capacity
was taken up almost exclusively by
the ladies and still many had to
stand. DR. E. E. Endicott presided,
and made brief and fitting opening
address, after which he introduced
the other participants as follows:
Selection, jackson Band.
Prayer, Rev. G. r. Winning.
Ave Marie, solo Miss Nelson.
Reading, Geo. A. Gordon.
Chorus-Mrs Winning, Mrs Thomas,
Misses Sanguinetti, Meehan, Devan

Reading, Miss Boarman.
Chorus.
Recitation, - r.. l. Kerr
Solo, Miss d. Sangu1netti
fraternal enlogy, tour fraternal
dead, p" Judge r. G. Rust.
Selection, jackson Band
The exercises over, the procession
reformed, and proceeded to the
cemetery. where graves of the nation s
dead-the few participants in the
great civil war are sleeping-and also
the deceased mem bers of the fraternal
organizations were decorated with
flowers. A bouquet was laid in
loving remembrance upon each. A
number had gathered in the grave
yard a few days previously, and
cleaned up the different graves, pre-
liminary to exercises of decoration
day. This patriotic and fraternal
work concluded, the orders again
formed procession and marched to the
starting point at Odd Fellows hall,
where they disbanded

MINING NOTES.

Wildman.-This Sutter Creek mine
is being operated in the interest of
the parties who purchased it from the
trustees. The operations are confined
to the Wildman property. A fair test
will be made by the new operators to
determine the probability of its being
able to pay running expenses. The
people of Sutter Creek are earnestly
hoping that the new deal will make
a success. With up-to-date equipment
in mine and mill, there is every con-
fidence by those best acquainted with
the mine, that it would more than
pay its way.
The Gold Top Gravel mine at Pine
Grove, commonly known as the
Wheeler claim, is at a standstill at
present. Operations were brought
to an abrupt close the latter part of
last week by the shutting off of the
water supply. The San Francicso
affair has hampered the company in
its work. A. Jones of the Pine Grove
hotel left for the city Sunday morn
ing, partly on business concerning
the gravel claim. 1t is believed that
everything will be Strengthened out
satisfactorily.
Jose Gulch. h.-Under the manage
ment of superintendent tarweII this
property is being rapidly put in con-
dition for active working. The prln-
cipal work now in hand is putting
the ditch in condition to supply
water for the mill. A number of men
are engaged in cleaning the old Horn
ditch, and it will take a couple of
weeks more to finish. The mill is
also being put in first class shape.
G. A. Rice, an expert mlllman from
Mokelumne Hill, is on the ground,
and will have charge of the mill. The
company intends to give this mine,
which is near Butte City, four miles
from jackson, a thorough trial.
There is plenty of rock, and it is
believed with careful management it
can be made to pay we'll.

Struck it Rich.

Silas Granger, former resident of
this county, at Drytown, jackson and
other places, who has spent years in
prospecting, has struck rich pocket
in Ell Dorado county. A dispatch
from Placerville dated May 27, says:
Silas Granger and Sid Gray, while
mining on the Davidson place, near
Shingle Springs, few days ago,
struck ''pocket" containing about
$4,000 in gold. Eleven pounds of ore.
almost entirely gold, we're taken out
the first day; pure gold amounting to
$3.50 was found the next day, with
more still in sight.

HabeaS Corpus.

Ned Alick and Riley Alick, two
half breed Indians from Volcano,
who are confined in the county Jail
awaiting preliminary examination on
charge of burglary in entering a
cabin near Volcano and stealing
therefrom property of the value OF
$50, have petitioned to be released
from custody on a writ of habeas
corpus. They allege that they are
illegally restrained of their liberty.
They have been in durance vile
several weeks, without examination,
owing to the legal holidays. The
writs will be heard before Judge Rust
to-day.
At the hearing this morning, G. Ii.
Crocker represented the petitioners
1t appeared that the defendants are
being held in the county jail without
commitments from the magistrate
no preliminary examination having
been had. After hearing the case
the court took the matter under
advisement. A decision is expected
| this afternoon.

The lone Liquor Cases.

According to latest accounts little
headway has been made in the pro-
secution of the cases against the retail
liquor dealers in lone for selling
liquor within two miles of the Preston
School, beyond what we stated last
week. One step in advance bas been
made, so it is rumored, namely, the
warrants of arrest have been issued,
but not placed in the hands of the
constable to be served. What the
object of the delay is we have not
heard.

Tabeaud Reservoir Fish.

Two years ago the big reservoir of
the Standard Electric Company,
known as Tabeaud lake, was planted
with black bass, under the directions
of the state fish commissioners. The
fish have multiplied to such an extent
that it is now deemed proper to re-
move the restriction against fishing
in this sheet of water. The open
season for this kind of fish COM
mences June 1st-today. So that as
far as the law is concerned. fishing
Will be in order from this date, until
the close of the season. But inasmuch
as the lake is the private property of
the Standard Company, it will be
necessary to secure permission from
the officials of that company before
EN- barking in this sport, otherwise
fishers will be liable to prosecution
as trespassers. While the fish we're
planted there by the state, they do
not belong to the public in the same
sense as fish in navigable or nnalien
ated waters do. Anybody can fish in
public waters in the open season with
out asking permission of any one.
With Tabeaud lake it is different.
The lake is privately owned, and the
right to fish cannot be divorced from
the ownership. 1t is not expected
that any difficulty will be experienced
in securing consent to fish if the pro-
perty rights of the company are Ie-
spected. Anglers might do a lot OF
damage to the banks of the reservoir,
which might lead the company to
shut down on fishing.
Several from M Mokelumne Hill we're
on their way last week to fish, but
they were informed that the close
season was not out, and had to return
without game 1t has been suggested
that parties fishing might palce a
numb Der of young fish taken from the
lake in the Mokelumne river, and
thereby stock that stream in few
years. Being a navigable stream, the
right to fish would be free to all in
the open season, without getting per-
mission from any source. And black
bass, it is claimed, would thrive
equally we'll in a running stream like
the Mokelumne river as in the still
waters of Tabeaud reservoir.

America Facing the Far East.

America Facing the Far East.
This was the subject Of the
lecture delivered by DR.. John
Merritte Driver last night. AS
explanatory of the meaning of
4 the subject he takes the posi-
ton that the United States is
now engaged in the most ire
mendous experiment in govern
ment that has ever been known
in the history of the world. In
the first place we are confront
ed at home by many questions
or propositions of great inn
portance among which are the
vast variety of interest in all
classes of commerce; and then
we have the problems of the
corporations and trusts; the
populations in public offices and
the graft in all places of trust
and in nearly all private affairs.
He took up more particularly
the discussion of our relations
in the far east which were
brought about by the Spanish
American war and demonstrate
ed that it was impossible from
a government standpoint for us
to prevent taking possession of
the PHILIPPINES, and it was
equally as impossible for us to
let go; that Mckinley had ex-
pressed the thought that we
never wanted the PHILIPPINES
but that in the general devol-
opponents of the governments
and the evolution of nations it
was simply impossible for us to
do otherwise.
He called attention to the
difficulty of controlling people
of that nature and made note
of the fact that there were six
ty-seven different classes or
tribes of people to handle and
provide laws for, and these
people had thirty-six different
languages with numerous dia-
lects in each. Here he called
attention to the fact that the
American flag had never been
hauled down from the territory
on which it was once officially
planted and predicted that it
never would be. He also made
an assertion which was new to
many,!that England had never
voluntarily sought to acquire
it's colonial possessions but that
the emergencies of the condi-
lions compelled them to take
possession Of the colonial terri
tory and hold it.
He demonstrated to his hear
ers that the American people
were the lineal descendants of
the greatest Of the worlds rul-
ers: that the Americans are
direct descendants of Alexander
the Great and of the line of
the Caesers and it was from
Rome that all of our funda-
mental law at the present day
eminated. He contended that
by divine direction the descend
ents Of the house of Japheth
were destined to rule the world
and that the British and Amer
lean governments at the pres
ent day were prominently the
representatives of that branch
and the opponents of the US
ages, laws and religion of that
house and that they would
ultimately make the laws and
direct the religion of the world.
That as England was involun-
tarily advancing eastward so
