Board of Supervisors.

The board of supervisors met last
Saturday pursuant to adjournment
at, the last regular meeting. The
meeting was held in regard to the
construction OF the new bridge over
Sutter Creek, in the town of Sutter
Creek. The contract for said
bridge was awarded to Cotton Bros.
of San Francisco, they being the
lowest bidders, at S3S92. A pro-
position was made by the successful
bidders to put in a concrete floor.
instead of plank, the concrete to be
covered with asphaltum; the extra
cost was stated at $500. The advant-
age would be in the avoidance of
about $500 every few years for re-
planking. The further consideration
OF this matter was continued until
the next regular meeting of the board
in March.

The Pacific Empire Development
Company, organized for the purpose
of securing land tor colonization by
American families from the eastern
and Middle western states, Is sending
out circulars asking for information
concerning large tracts of land suit
able for settlement and subdivision.
The headquarters of the company are
at Los Angeles, but the scope of the
inquiries reach to counties in the
northern as we'll as southern Cali
tornia. There are such tracts in
Amador county, and it would GER
tainly be a most desirable result if
they were sold and broken up into
small holdings for families. The un-
fortunate tendency of late years has
been to gobble up the small holders,
and menopolize the land for cattle
ranges. Much of the land devoted to
mere pasturage for stock is good for
general agriculture, and would make
homes for hundreds of small farmers
or fruit growers.

Arrested for Assault.

A man named W. H. Kruis was ar.
rested in New Chicago last Tuesday,
on charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. He got into difficulty with
one Frank Fincenschi, and pulled g
gun, and had it not been for the pre-.
sence of number of men, who inter
fered, serious shooting affair would
probably have resulted. Sheriff Nor,
man went over there, and arrested
the would-be shooter and landed him
in jail the same night. He was
placed under bonds of $500, but
languishes in the lookup, from in
ability to furnish bail.

IMPRISONED IN THE APP MINE.
Thrilling Experience of Two Miners

|
Monday morning of last week an
accident occurred in the 3OO-foot
level at the App mine. Tom Sublioh
and euro Buvich were working in
this drift, which is about $50 feet
long, when, very suddenly, nearly lOC
feet of the drift caved in, leaving
the two miners imprisoned in about a
80 foot space.
1t was several hours after the cave
happened before it was discovered by
the shift-boss. Upon hearing of the
accident superintendent Noce at once
set rescuers at work to liberate the
two entombed miners.
By Thursday the rescuing party
succeeded in getting within % feet of
the inner end of the cave and COM
mun1cation was had with the entombed
miners, who said they were not
suffering but anxious to have the OBJ
struction removed at once so that
they could remove lot of rich ore
which they had run across in the face
of the drift.
Everyone reioiced when it became
known that the miners we're still
alive. This morning Saturday the
rescurers are within very few feet
of the unfortunate men, but on
account of the dangerous work in
removing the debris, but slow pro-
gress is made. Supt. Noce has not
given up hope, however, and is con-
tinuing the rescue work with renewed
effort. The men are still alive and
communicating with the rescuers, but
are now complaining of being nearly
famished.
The men have been without food
for nearly 108 hours, except possibly
few candles they may have had with
them. They are fortunate in having
plenty of water.
Sublich is single man but Buvich
has family at his former home in
Montenegro, so there are no relatives
here to be distressed over the unfort-
unate situation of the miners. A
physicion is on the ground to render
any medical aid that might be necess-
ary in case the men should be found
in an exhausted condition when they
are reached.
Upon hearing of the accident miners
from the Shawmut, Rawhide and
other near by mines fastened to the
App to lend all assistance possible in
carrying on the rescue work. Angels
Record.
The men we're rescued some time
during Saturday. For more than one
hundred hours they had been entom-
ed. They we're little the worse tol
their experience and wanted a smoke
the first thing after being taken tc
the surface. They we're we'll supplied
with water in the drift, but had nc
other nourishment. Most of the time
they we're in total darkness, anc
dared not work in the debris to
attempt their own release, on account
of the danger of caving, and being
without lights. Supt. Noce was fol
years employed as foreman of the
Oneida and Keystone mines, in this
county. The thrilling experience he
has met with at the App in this affail
has few equals in the mining history
of the mother lode. He proved him
self equal to the emergency, ano
succeeded in liberating the men with
out any casualty whatever.
