PostoffiCe Department Ruling.

A recent decision from the office of
the attorney general in Washington
is to the effect that it is against the
law to advertise in newspapers, card
parties where prizes are awarded to
any of the contestants and where an
admission or other fee is charged the
person or persons contesting for these
prizes. This decision has direct
bearing on the card socials which are
feature of so many traternal organ
lzatIons and makes it impossible for
the newspapers to carry any notice
whatever of functions of that sort.
The attorney general says the Post
Office Department does not hold that
social games of euchre, whist, etc. j.,
constitute lotteries, but it is only in
those cases in which a payment is
required for the privilege of compet-
ing for the prizes offered to the
winners.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.
A. B. Summers has Invented an
Angle Meter for Surveying.

A. b. Summers, the welI-known
surveyor of Plymouth, exhibited in
this office an instrument named an
angle meter. 1t is his own invention,
and is intended to revolutionlZe the
business of underground surveying
for mining purposes, and also for
delerming angles and grades in rail
roading, pipe laying and other pur-
poses.
The instrument shown is the first
and only one in existence at present.
1t was made by Welt, Gothic & Co.,
of Sacramento, who are making
arrangements to manufacture them
on large scale. The instrument is
entirely of brass, and is combln-
alton of all surveying instruments
used in underground work, the
practical application of which is SO
simple that any man of ordinary
intelligence Is enable to do all
surveying needed IN mine operations
IN few minutes, and as accurately
as professional enigneer and survey
or could do it. The saving that this
little instrument will effect will be
readily understood. Its cost will be
placed at small figure, compared
with the cost of the set of instru
ments which it is designed to replace.
Mr. Summers has already made applic-
alton at Washington for patent for
his contrivence, which no doubt
will be granted. 1t has been eX-
hibited in principle to many mining
men, who readily recognized its i'm
portance and value, and signifed
their intention to secure one as soon
as it is placed on the market. MI
Summers has been working for a
couple of years on this invention.
The idea was suggested in doing some
surveying IN a mine where it was i'm
possible to use the ordinary transit.
His inventive genius was set to work
to get around the difficult, and the
outcome of surmountlng the trouble
III other ways led to the production
of the new instrument. He hopes to
have the invention on the market in
two or three months, and we sincerely
hope that he will score big financial
success in so doing.

Shooting SCrape Near Amador City

A serious affray occurred at the
boarding house of Sam Lubjetich,
near the Bunker Hill mine on Sunday
last, The principals to the affair are
of Austrian nativity. The shooter is
Gus. Vankovicn, and the man shot
q. Begenich. 1he particulars are not
easy to get, two versions being in
circulation, to suit the feelings of
partisans of each side. 1t seems that
Vankovich was employed at the Ere
mont mine, and Bergenich at the
Bunker Hill. Ill feeling had existed
between them for some time, due,
according to one version, to the
miners troubles in that locality; but
others say 1t was owing to some
woman in the case. Vankovich board
ed at the Fremont, while Bergenich
and a brother lived at Lubjetich.
Sunday they were celebrating Christ
mas. Lubjetich invited Vankovich,
who was passing to partake of good
CH06r, anu OH 6AISIluS u1ob del BculCu
and his brother. A quarrel ensued,
but who was the aggressor we cannot
learn. The upshot was that knife
was drawn on the side of Bergenich,
and a pistol by Vankovich. The
latter fred five shots from a. 81
caliber revolver. 1t is claimed that
the three first shots were fired in the
air. One of the last two shots took
ettict in Bergenich's shoulder, making
big wound, striking the bone near
the shoulder Joint, and inf1icting an
injury from which he will suffer the
balance of his days. He is getting
along as we'll as could be expected.
After the shooting Vankovich took to
his heels and escaped. Deputy sheriff
Gray captured him next day near the
Fremont mine, and brought him to
the county Jail, where he is now
awaiting a preliminary hearing.

MINING NOTES.

South Eureka.-The installation OF
the electric pump to control the
water not only of this mine, but also
of the Central Eureka, is approaching
completion. The outcome of this
piece of machinery is being watched
with much interest in mining circles,
as it will be the longest lift of any
pumping apparatus of the kind in
this section. 1t is designed to raise
water from depth of 2030 feet on the
incline, or vertical depth of 1900.
1t is being installed under guarantee
that 1t will be satisfactory in every
way. At the Oneida they have a lift
OF 1900 feet, and no trouble is ex-
perienced in accomplishing this feat.
The South Eureka pump is designed
to handle an average of 100, 900 gallons
OF water per day. The Central Eureka
is bearing the greater part of the
burden of this installation, as the
two mines are connected by drifts,
for ventilation and other purposes,
and the use of water in the South
Eureka, would mean the flooding of
the lower levels of the Central.
Wildman.- WiIdman mine at
Sntter Creek was sold under a trust
deed held by Bishop and others on
the 9th of December last. 1t was
bought in by those holding the trust
deed for something in the neighbor-
hood of S147, 900. The sale was made
IN front of the court house, Mr. Moul-
ton, lawyer representing the parties
having the trust deed, was present
from San Francisco. There is moth
ing new to report in relation to the
property. 1t is still inactive, and
Its ldleness is sorely felt in Sutter
Greek.
Del Monte-Geo. l. Wright, super
intendent of this Calaveras mine,
came down to attend the monthly
meeting of the directors held in
jackson last Monday. He brought
with him bar of gold valued at $500,
the product of the month, running
about half time on account of freez-
ing weather. He expects to do much
better this month.
The Kennedy mine is still running
on short time on account of scarlty
of water. They have had to shut
down about four hours each day, from
half past four until ten in the even
ing, at which time the heavy load for
the electric power at Electra is on.
Yesterday morning the water power
was again shortened from 80 to 80
inches, and if this is continued. "A close
down of operations until a full
supply is available will again be
imperative. The Argonaut and Oneida
are running as usual. The Zeila is
still engaged in repairs to the frame
work of the hoist.

Additional Locals.

at the Donovan residence in Sutter,
which place was destroyed by fire
while the pair we're occupying it.
He left for the city soon thereafter,
aud his wife prepared to follow later.
Donovan caused certain trunks to be
examined, and the officers are alleged

county Jail. On Tuesday he was
taken before the justice of peace at
Sutter and bonds fixed at $500.
