The Storm.

Last week the universal Cry went
up for rain. Now the cry is tor it to
quit raining. For the entire week
the windows of heaven have been
opened, and an almost continuous
downpour has taken place, filling the
earth with moisture, causing streams
to run at flood mark, and giving water
enough and to spare for all purposes.
Since last issue the rainfall averaged
over an inch per day-a precipitation
rarely equalled for such length OF
time. The storm has been general
throughout the state. 1t has also been
a comparatively warm rain. The
snow line is not within fifteen OF
twenty miles of jackson. There will
be no lack of water for mining from
this on. The plant at Electra is
running full capacity. Every branch
of industry feels the impulse of this
timely storm.

How Sculptor. Work In Marble.

The artist makes a model first, not
always life size, but almost none Of
them actually does the cutting In the
marble. This work Is intrusted to high.
ly skilled artisans, who do the work
under their direction, and the sculp-
tors superintend all the finishing
touches and even occasionally do some
Of the cutting on the face and hands.
The actual cutting of the stone is a
most difficult process and requires
great expert skill. In case full sized
model is made the sculptor sends it to
q professional marble cutter, who
roughly shapes the block. The general
shape is often given to the block be-
fore it leaves the marble yard to save
the extra freight. The rough carving
Is then done by the marble cutter, who
SO shapes the block as to give 1t the
general outline Of the figure to be re-
produced. He drills a series of holes
In the block, the depth Of each of which
corresponds to an external point Of
the statue supposed to be inclosed in
the stone. After a sufficient number
of these holes have been made In the
stone he removes the entire perforated
portion, and what remains gives the
broad limos of the statue

Fatal Blast at GWin.

Martin Millas, a young Austrian
miner, employed at Gwin mine, met
death in the underground workings at
about II O'Clock noon on Sunday last.
He was working alone, hand drilling
in one of the Slopes of the 23O0 level.
How the accident occurred no one
knows; but the supposition is that
while tamping one of the loaded
holes, the cartridge exploded. After
the explosion, he called for help, and
his fellow workers fastened to his as
sistance. They found him in terrible
plight. The flying debris struck him
in the breast, face, and in fact all
over his body, mangling him in a
shocking manner. He was borne to
the surface, and survived his injuries
only ten minutes after reaching the
top. He was single man, 25 years
of age, and native of Austria. He
had been working in the Gwin only
about SIX weeks prior to his death.
He had worked there before his latest
employment however. He was we'll
known in Jackson, and for time
lived at Perovich's boarding house
on Broadway.
He leaves brother in this State,
Joseph Milias, who lives in San
Francisco, and who arrived in Jack
son Monday evening to make arrange
ments for the funeral. The body was
brought here Monday, and the funeral
took place on Wednesday; Rev.
Gleason of the Catholic church off1ci-
ating. He was member of the
Miners Union, and a large delega-
tion from the Paloma Union attend
ed the funeral.

MINING NOTES.

Zeila-Undergrou work was re
sumed at this mine the latter part Of
last week, after the hoist frame work
had undergone thorough process OF
repair. Everything is now in first
class order. The full capacity of the
40 stamp mill was started Sunday
night. There is ample water for all
purposes, and this old standby of
Jackson has a bright outlook for a
long period of activity up to its
utmost capacity.
Thos. G. Mayor, F. M. Clark and
w. ID. Clark owners of the Clark
Mayon gravel mine, near OIeta, have
made application to the Debris Com
mission for permission to mine that
claim by hydraulic process. Last
Monday was the day fixed for hearing
of protests if any, to the application.
1t is reported that the Gwin mine
will re-enter the dividend paying list
next month. A large back indebted
ness has been wiped out; and sur
plus has accumulated. The outlook
for along era of prosperity was never
brighter. This will stimulate the
development of other properties in
that region, on both sides of the
river.

Sudden Death.

A message was received by Al Ham
rick yesterday morning, conveying
the sad news that his brother, Geo.
W. Hamrick, died the previous
morning at place called N1nshew,
in Butte county. He had been work
ing forthe California Gas and Electric
Corporation, having been transferred
from Electra about a year ago. He
had been working for the company in
this county for several years. lie
was native of Missouri, but passed
most of his life in Amador county,
at the family home near New York
Ranch. He was so years of age, and
leaves wife, two daughters and one
son, all grown up. The remains
will be inferred in Butte county.

Tar and Feather. In 11sa.

In England the penalty of tar and
feathers was introduced in 1889, when
Richard l., before setting out for the
Holy Land, ordained, In order to pre-
serve the discipline Of his feet. that
whosoever should be convicted Of theft
should first have his head shaved; that
boiling pitch should then be poured
upon it, and cushion of feathers (de
Ia plume d'oreiller) shaken over 1t. He
was afterward to be put on shore at
the first place the ship touched at,
though, after a baptism of boiling
pitch, the poor wretch would have lit
tie life left in him. In modern times
the practice has found favor with the
populace as means Of readily exc
cutting justice ON an offender whom
the law perhaps shows no anxiety to
reach.-London Mail.

WaShout on |. and E. Road.

AS might be expected, the protract-
ed storm of the past week has done
considerable damage on the lone and
Eastern railroad, which resulted in a
suspension of traffic by rail on We'd
nesday morning. On that morning
the passengers that left Jackson for
lone as usual, on arrival at a point
about two miles from the depot we're
depot, were informed that owing to a
bad washout they could not be
transported to their destination by
rail. There was no way of reaching
lone in time for the train, so they
had to return to jackson. The dam
age is in the vicinity of where Cyclone
station formerly stood. Passengers
from lone had to be brought by stage
the same evening, and yesterday
morning the stage coach was still in
operation for the down trip. This
experience is nothing out of the
common with newly built roads.
The washout involved beaween twenty
and thirty feet in length of an en-
bankment, and twelve feet in depth.
With such weather as we have had,
any road-bed, no matter how sub
stantlally built, would be tested to
the breaking point. The first severe
storm is the only means of finding
out the weak spots. A strong force
was put to work to repair the damage,
and the company hopes to have the
line in running order ere these lines
reach our readers.
The stage made good time Wednes-
day night. The lone wagon road, not
being cut up by heavy traffic is in
good condition for travel, and pass
engers reached Jackson less than an
hour behind the railroad schedule.

MATILDA DENNIS FILES ANSWER.
A Sensational Document.

Mrs Matilda Dennis, wife of Will
ford Dennis, who for several years
held the position of telegraph operator
and Wells Fargo's agent in jackson,
has filed an answer in the suit
brought by L. Marie to toreclose a
mortgage of $3.50 on the home of de-
fendant in Sutter Creek. The answer
sets out that in November, 1897, Will
ford Dennis made declaration of
homestead for the premises involved,
and duly recorded the same. On the
Both October, 1905, he commenced an
action for divorce in San Francisco
against defendant, which action is
now pending in department two of the
superior court of that city. 1t is
alleged that Wiltord Dennis is abund
antly able to pay the amount due on
the mortgage, but that he refuses to
do so for the reason. as he has stated
to defendant and to others, that he
would have the defendant, his wife,
turned out of doors unless she con-
sented to give him a divorce; that in
fulfilment of thissthreat he has per-
mitted the action of foreclosure to be
brought and default to be entered
as far as he is concerned. The fore
closure of the mortgage would cause
irreparable loss, as the premises are
community property, and the home
of Mrs Dennis and two minor child
ren. The court is asked to declare
the property homestead. and exempt
from the lien of said mortgage, also
that any decree in the foreclosure
suit be made subject to the terms OF
the decree that may be granted in
the divorce proceedings, and for such
other relief as may be equitable; also
for her costs in this action.

In jackson School district, since
the school convened after the holiday
vacation, a conveyance has been en-
ployed by the parents of the pupils
living around Kennedy fat ard Mar
tells station to carry the children to
and from school. This method OF
collecting pupils has been in force in
a number of states of the middle
west. and is made part of the school
system, the expense of transportation
borne by the funds of the district.
In the case of Kennedy flat the ex-
pense is borne by the parents concern
ed, who pay Sl.50 per month per pupil
for this service. There are about Is
children in the arrangement. In the
stormy weather that has prevailed of
late this transportation plan has
proved very beneficial, enabling a
number to attend regularly, who
would not venture to travel on foot.
1t Is not improbable that this arrange
ment is the preliminary step to a
movement for a new school district
for the section around Kennedy and
