Stopped Construction Work.

As an outcome of the San francisco
disaster the Standard Electric Com
pany has materially reduced its force
of employees in this county. The
construction of the extra power line,
between Electra and Sutter, has been
stopped, and all the hands employed
in that work were laid Oft Indefinitely
on the 1st inst. The number of men
affected by this curtailment is in the
neighborhood of thirty. Only the
operators and the hands absolutely
necessary in The business are at woI k
at present. How long this curtail-
ment policy will continue is un-
certain. The big corporation, of
which the Standard Company forms a
part, was heavy loser by the fire.
All the office papers we're destroyed,
as we'll as much damage to lines and
plants. Under instructions from
headquarters the force has been re-
duced as above mentioned, until
things are settled to something like a
normal basis.

Socialist Parade.

A novel feature was introduced to
tie people of jackson on Tuesday
last, May day, in the shape of a
political parade in sympathy with
the socialist agitation here and else
where. From what information we
can CLEAN, socialist party has been
organized in this city. 1t consists of
about 70 members. 1t is political in
It's nature, and will support the
nominees OF that party. Its members
are almost exclusively of Italian
nativity or parentage. May day in
France, and some other European
countries, corresponds with labor
day here. 1t is set apart for demon
stratlons by the tolling masses OF
those countries. 1t was in sympathy
with this movement abroad, and pro
bably to show the existence of this
particular political organization in
our midst that turn out of mem bers
was arranged for last Tuesday. Many
of the partIcipators took a day off
from work at the mines, to join in
the parade. The paraders mustered
near the California hotel, and
marched down Main street and Broad
way as far as Mares returning to the
starting point and there dIsbanded
The procession would not have
elected much comment were it not
for one feature-namely, the f1aunt-
ing of red flag. 1t is true, this red
banner was surmounted by the stars
and stripes, of d1minutIve size. The
appearance of a red flag was very
generously and righteousIy condemn
ed, not only by native born citizens,
but the majority of foreign BIRTH
However, the procession was orderly,
no clash whatever occurred; and
nothing was done on account of the
Haunting of this dIscredited emblem
for the first time within our re-
collection in the streets of jackson.
1t has been freely asked, and without
eliciting satisfactory answer, Why
should socialist party adopt flag of
any kind as the symbol of it's creed?
Especially the emblem that is, in the
popular mind at least, antagonistic
to government as now organized. The
republican party-has no special flag
The democratic party carries no
distinctive color. The American flag
representing the principles ct our
free institutions-.is is sufficient to
cuver all the political ideas for which
these parties exist! Why should it
be otherwise with the socialist party.
What special significance do they wish
to attach to the unfurIing of a red
flag in an American city. 1t is a new
departure, certainly, and one which
in the opinion of conservative citl-
zens might we'll be allowed to drop
again into disuetude.

A FATAL FIRE.
A Drunk SuffOCated in Suffer Creek
CalabOOSe.

The building used as the town lock-
up in Sutter Greek was destroyed by
fire on Wednesday night at II o'clock.
One unknown man suffer ed death by
sutfocation. At about 7 o'clock in
the evening constable TuttIe was
called to arrest man for drunkenness
and dlsorderly conduct. After some
difficulty the man was finally landed
in the Jail. 1t took the united efforts
of the constable and three other men
to take him. On the way he said he
would burn the - Jail down if they
put him in it. He was locked UP and
nothing more thought about it.
About II O'Clock it was found that the
building was ON fire. The door was
quickly broken down, but when the
unfortunate man was pulled from
under the bed, where he was found,
he was dead. The hose company soon
got to work and extingulshed the
flames. The victim was removed
from the scene and inquiry started to
find who he was. He came to Sutter
the day before in company with two
other men. They made a precariuus
living selling wire coat hangers,
fixing umbrellas, and work of the
kind. He was searched before being
locked up and a block of matches was
taken from him. No papers that
would show the mans identity were
found His companions stated that
he had been with them for two
months, and was known as 'Shorty, y
they came from San Francisco to the
mountains.
Coroner Huberty went to the
scene promptly and summoned a
jury. The testimony shows that the
man deliberately set the place OF
fire, thinking he would be able to gel
out. A verdict of suffocatIon caused
by the kindling of the. fire with his
own hands was brought in.
He was about 80 years of age. His
companions left after the inquest fol
the valley, The loss to the county
will probably be $3.50.

Local Financial Aspect.

The prolongation of the legal hoIi
days is having a very depressing effect
upon the business interests of the
state generally. 1t is felt in the
country almost as bad as in the large
centers of population. While the
legal holidays last, the banks are al
liberty to open or remain closed as
they please. And those that do open
for business, can elect to limit with
drawals of deposits as they see fit.
When the legal holiday barrier is lift
ed however, commercial banks must
meet their obligations to depositors,
to the extent of their credit balances.
The bank vaults of San Francisco
are not sufficiently cooled to permit
of opening with safety. No doubt
the legal holidays will continue until
such time as all danger from the
destruction of valuabIes contained
therein by premature exposure is
passed. This may necessitate legal
holidays for week or more yet.
The trouble with country banks is
in making new arrangements so that
drafts issued by them may be immedi-
ately honored by banks below. 1t is
not so much a shortage of funds to
meet local demands, but TO give the
usual exchange to depositors and
others that will be available with
business men outside.
With regard to the Amador Bank,
Fred Eudey, the cashier, went to the
city the first of the week, for the pur-
pose of arranging to Issue drafts there
as usual, or on Oakland. He return
ed Wednesday evening, and went to
San Francisco again yesterday morn
ing, provided with the necessary
authority Of a resolution passed by
the board of directors authorizing
him to make all arrangements to that
end. He will return this week, and
expects to come back with every
arrangement to carry on business as
usual. Next week therefore it is
hoped that the EN- barge on the bank
ing business in Jackson will be lifted,
whether the legal holidays are con-
tinued or not.

MAY REOPEN THE EUREKA.
Glad News if True.

A special to the Sacramento Bee
from Redding says:
James II. Tibbitts, superintendent
of the Headwaters Mining Company
in SiskIyou county, returned from
New York city Sunday to his home
in Redding after an absence of three
months.
While in New York he had an inter
view with Hetty Green, the richest
woman IN the world, who owns the
Eureka in Amador county, the deep
est gold mine in America, at present
abandoned. Amador is Mr Tibbitt' S
native county. Mrs Green told Mr.
Tibbitts that she expected to reopen
the Eureka. She was a veIy busy
woman, judging from the number of
cards that were coming in, and Mr.
Tibbetts did not feel like taking up
much of her time. When parting,
she told him that Shasta, Trinity
and Siskiyou county mines we're now
attracting more attention and capital
than any other mining counties in
the state.
Nh Tibbitts sought an interview
with John d. Rockefeller, at Atlantic
City, but found the Rockefeller man
sion so guarded by police and detect
ives that he thought it best to wait
till evening as offering better
chance of seeing the richest man in
the world. At night, however, he
found the rays of powerful search
light darting into and illuminating
every nook and Granny of the grounds
surrounding the mansion and showing
the same number of detectives patrol
ling the place, inside and outside a
Ligh iron fence. He gave up the idea
of a personal interview.

ion of his 10Th birthday. The guests
were divided. Mr. and Mrs Guerard

RedIiCk'S Closed Out.

Redlick's have quit business in
jackson. This firm has conducted a
branch business here for seven or
eight years. At first they ran a
general store, dry goods of every kind,
drugs, varieties and so forth. 1t was
not satisfactory, if one may judge
from the fact that some six months
ago the business was changed to an
exclusively mems furnishing house.
1t was the aim ost universal opinion
that the field here was too limited
for house of that character. After
a practical experience of several
months the venture proved equally
unsatisfactory, and the firm decided
to quit this section entirely. For
several weeks they have sold off as
much stock as possible by Offering
bargains. On the last of April the
doors we're closed finally as far as the
firm of Redlick Bros. is concerned.
MI Bangs, who has been managing
the store for the last month, will
leave this week for Bakersfield, where
Redlickshave large establishment.
X. Tadich, who has been clerk and
salesman for the firm for years, will
leave shortly for the uorth. His
wife has been staying in Auburn,
Placer county, for several weeks.

is one of the largest and best business
places in town, will be occupied 10y

Found Dead.

Mrs M. Rice one of the Oldest and
most highly respected women in the
county, was found dead at her home
near New York Ranch, on last Mon
day morning. When found she was
partially inclined on her bed, death
havinr come upon her quite suddenly,
due though from natural causes, she
having reached the advanced age OF
nearly 64 years. She had lived with
her son W. G. Rice on the ranch, and
clung to the old homestead, where
she had passed so many years OF her
life, with affectionate tenacity. On
the evening preceding her death she
appeared in usual spirits and health.
About IL O'Clock the son heard her
moving around in the house, and
inquired if she was sick, or needed
assistance. She promptly replied that
1t was nothing particular, and that il
was unnecessary for him to get up.
In the morning, the son arose at the
usual hour, and went about his work.
at the usual time for breakfast she
failed to appear. He waited an hour
or more after the time, and then call
ed her. Receiving no answer he
entered the room to find his mother
cold in death. She had been dead
several hours. 1t is supposed she
passed away shortly after she was
heard moving around.
jury was summoned by coroner
Geo. Huberty, and a verdict of death
from natural causes was returned.
The jury consisted OF the following
G. M. Kelley, j. Hattersley, G. H..
Hamerick, l.. p. Mellow, N. Rado-
vich, s. Matish, G. O'Neil, VIM.
Hanley.
The funeral took place Wednesday
at , p. m.. from the residence of
deceased daughter, Mrs Hattersley.
Rev. q. r. Winning officiating. He
was assisted in the services by the
church choir. The funeral was
largely attended both from here and
the outside.
Mrs Rice was the wife of the late
David B. Rice, who died twenty five
years ago. She came from Missouri
to Volcano in 1854, and in 1856 re-
moved to Santa Clara, returning here
in 1858, settling at New York Ranch,
where she has lived continuously until
her death.
Mrs Rice was probably the oldest
Baptist in the county, having been
member of that church since early
girlhood. She leaves behind her a
large circle of friends and relatives
to mourn her loss, she being a woman
of high character and kindly dis
position. She was the mother OF
eight children, six of whom survive
her; Thomas and VIM. G. Rice, Mrs
Hattersley, who resides in Jackson,
Mrs Beatrice Boyd, Mrs j. &. Parkin-
son, and Mrs l.. q. Kenney, who all

A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
A Miner in Kennedy Pinioned for
Four Hours, and Escapes Unhurt.

A young Austrian miner named
Lazo Kapor, passed through an ex-
perience in the Kennedy mine in the
early hours of Saturday morning last,
which he will never forget. He came
out of 1T unscratched, and that is the
most amazing part of the story. He
was working alone in No stope at
the 2500 foot level. 1t was an old
stope. He was picking away at the
loosened rock at least so feet above
the floor of the level. Suddenly the
whole mass of loose rock seemed to
slide down, carrying him with it, to
the level floor, plnning him close to
the timbers. In this unlocked for
toboggan slide, not rock struck him
hard enough to injure him beyond
mere bruise of no consequence;
neither was the pressure of the mass
laterally sufficient to interfere with
his breathing, or prevent his outcry.
The nearest workman was fully 100
feet away. He started to make loud
calls for help, to let his comrades
know of his predicament, but no help
came. He kept calling until he got
tired, and realizing that it was use
less he quit, and quietly awaited
developments. He had been thus i'm
prisoned for more than an hour, when
the car man commenced loading rock
from the very pile of ore that formed
the barrier between him and fres-
dom. The carman knew not of the
imprisoned miner, and the prisoner
knew nothing of the man working
unconsci ously toward his liberation.
In this pTedicament he remained for
three long hours. They seemed like
an age to him. -Four O'Clock came,
the time for the change of shift. The
underground toilers mustered to be
taken on top. 1t was then noticed
that KapoI was missing. Inquiry was
made, but no one could give any in
formation of his whereabouts. a
search of the place where he had
worked was made, and his cap and
other articles belonging to him were
found on the rock pile. Then 1t
flashed upon them that he had been
caught in the slide. They set to work
with will. Of course, they expect
ed to find that his life had been
crushed out by the weight of debris.
After toiling a short time, Kapor
heard the sound of the rescuers work
ing in his direction. Then he called,
and the crew of llberators, knew that
he was not only living but conscious
And they worked all the harder.
The next thing they knew, the pres
sure being sufficiently loosened in
his immediate presence, Kapor aston
ished them by climbing over his
rocky rampant, and greeting his com
panions practically uninjured by his
experience of close confinement. He
says he was not scared, but felt a
little bit uncomfortable at the
thought that he might perish behind
that wall, from lack of knowledge of
his situation. He went to work at
the next shift as though nothing had
happened. Kakpor is unable to con-
verse in English, and has been work
ing IN the Kennedy about two months.

MINING NOTES.

Climax-Dr. Aiken, the superin
tendent of this mine, says everything
is running smoothly and satisfactor-
lily. The ten-stamp mill IS kept runn-
ing steadily, night and day. The ore
body is very Iarge-indeed, from all
accounts it would be considered a
large ledge on the mother lode. 1t
has been proven to be between 700
and 800 feet long, and in places is u
feet wide. This is the ledge that is
now furnishing ore for the mill. 1t
is low grade, but all OF it goes to the
mill. There IS another body of
quartz, believed to be of higher
quality, for which development work
will be prosecuted. If the ore holds
out in size and quality to greater
depth, an additional ten stamps to
the mill will be in order.
MitcheIl-This mine is being oper-
ated by the'lien holders, who obtain
ed Judgment for their respective
claims, in the nope of being able to
secure enough to pay something on
the Indebtedness. There was a pile
of rock, estimated at 700 tons, left
by the late Iessees. This is being
run through the mill. And accord
ing to all reports it bids fair to
prove OF good paying quality. Should
it so prove, it is only matter of
time when the property will be oper-
ated again under conditions that
will be more apt to test its real
value than heretofore.
A gentleman from the south, is in
jackson with a device that is used in
connection with air, or machine
drills of all kinds, Ly the use of
which he says he can effect a saving
of $500 year on every machine used.

patent to different mine owners and
superintendents in this vicinity.
