Narrow Escape.

Mrs Matt. Williams, who lives on
FIT street. had marrow escape from
fire on Wednesday evening. She was
preparing the evening meal, her hus-
band having just got home from his
labors at the leila. She was cooking
with a coal oil stove, when the stove
exploded, the flames instantly setting
fire to Mrs Williams clothing
Fortunately her under garments we're
of WOODEN material, and did not blaze
rapidly. The lady had the presence
of mind to walk out on the porch
with her clothing afire. A heavy rug
lay on the porch, and she threw her.
self PROSTATE, and rolled the rug
around the burning garments, thereby
smothering the fire.
All this was the work of a few
seconds, and the flames had not gain
ed sufficient Roadway to infi1ct much
injury to her body, merely scoIching
the skin In one or two spots. Mr.
Williams happened to be on hand IN
the niche of time ard seizsd the fam
ing stove, and threw it outside,
thereby saving the building from
destruction. Neighbors fastened to
the scene as quickly as they learned
of the explosion, and Mrs Williams
after passing through the crisis, was
overcome with reaction, and had a
taintlng spell. She quickly recover
ed, and in short time was attending
to her household affairs the same as
usual.

Will 60 to Keystone Mine.

ID. ). Gamble, the expert machinist,
who has been employed at the lathe
in the machine shop of GarbarIni
Brothers for over year, has accepted
the position of head machinist for
the Keystone Mining Company at
Amador City. There is a small
machine shop connected with the
mine, where nearly all the repair
work is done. Mr. Gamble was over
there recently and fixed up the hoist
and other works. He expects to leave
for his new field some time this
month, and will move his family to
Amador City after a while. His
successor at the Gal barini Bros. shop
has not been selected yet.

New Butcher Business.

The talk of the starting of new
butcher shop, to corral the Austrian
trade, has developed into an actual
ity. Chris Coiovich, who keeps the
Austrian boarding house between
here and jackson Gate, took out a
butchers license the latter part of
last week. His place of business is
within the uity limits, so that he
would simply have to take out a
license the same as other butchers to
entitle him to deliver meat to custom
ers. Had he been outside the city
he would have been required a
peddleI's license. 1t does not follow
that he will start regular butcher
shop, however. Whether he will kill
for his own use at the boarding
house, and peddle the surplus around
town, or start fuIl-fedged butcher
shop remains to be seen.
Pioneer flour is the best; have no

BASEBALL.

Last Sunday was a disastrous day
for Jackson in the baseball line. A
team from Mokelumne Hill contested
with the jackson social and athletic
club regular nine on the local dia-
mond, the locals getting badly beaten
with score of 9 to 4. A team from
Pine Grove played the South jackson
nine on Shober's hill, defeating the
home boys by big majority. The
second team of the athletic club went
to lone and played a game with the
boys of that town, getting worsted
also. 1t was not Jackson's day.

MINING NOTES.

Defender.-At this mine they are
working seven or eight men. The
mill has been running nearly
month, and according to all reports
the rock that is being crushed Is
paying we'll. Everything looks favor
able for long and prosperous career
of activity.
Bunker HiIl.-The statement of
this company for June shows that
266l tons of ore we're crushed, the
mill working u days. Gold bullion
produced Sill, 1916. OF; concentrates net,
s2,947.60. Total receipts for the
month were SIS. 41l.37. Expenses,
IS, 6S5.6l net earnings for the month
s6725, 70. Dividend number 7 has been
declared of three cents per share,
amounting to s5992. Surplus in trea-
sury July l, s7S, O36.69. The mine
from all accounts is looking remark
ably we'll, with the outlook for the
future very encouraging. The grad
ing for the new hoist is proceeding
satisfactorily. 1t is expected to have
the same in running order in Septem-
Der or October. A good deal of the
machinery is being delivered, but the
heavy parts will not be forwarded
until everything is ready to have
them placed in position.
ZeIla. This mine is running IS
stamps, out of 49, The hanging up of
five stamps is owing to lack of rock,
not because, however, there is any
shortage of ore IN the mine, but on
account of shortage of miners to get
opt the quantity necessary to keep
the full milling capacity in operation.
There seems to be scarcity of good
miners in all the mines hereabouts.
We have no doubt from so to 100
miners could find steady employment
in the mines of this vicinity.
Kennedy. The full number of
stamps is pounding away at this mine
steadily. Over 800 men are employed
all told. This means that this
wonderful mine supports over 600
men-a fair sized town in itself. The
property has been turning out bullion
in liberal quantities for several
months past, and the outlook is
bright.

Code Commissioner Appointed.

A dispatch dated Sacramento July
II says:
Governor Gillett has appointed j.
w. Wiley of bakersfield to be code
commissioner in place of John +.
Davis, who has resigned. John f.
Davis, 1t will be remem bered, sent IN
his resignation some time ago, to
take effect as soon as his successor
was selected. We presume the new
comm issioneI will enter upon his
duties forthwith. . 1t was understood
that Judge Davis was specially re-
qussted to complete the revision of
eertaic law bearing upon municipal
corporations, but whether this ap-
pointment of the new commissioner
will effect this arrangement or not we
are unable to say.

farmers are in the com bine. The
idea is to place the line on the fence

over the top of the fences. In this
way. cheap but efficient line can be
maintained. The line will be con-

Saw Mill in Operation.

The Standard Electric Company
saw mill on Tiger creek, is running
IN full blast. For time they we're
handicapped by not being able to get
logs in sufficient quantity to keep
the mill in steady operation. But
this trouble has been overcome, and
they are now turning out from 20, OOO

An AmadOr Pioneer Passes Away.

Thomas Z. Stewart, we'll known in
the valley section of this county for
many years, where he was engaged in
merchandising in lone for a long
period, died at his home in West
Oakland on Tuesday morning last.
The Oakland Enquirer of the 10th
says:
A pioneer of California who crossed
the plains to the gold fields in '49 has
been taken from the scene of his
many activities in the person of
Thomas Z. Stewart, who died this
morning at 1l67 Brush street.
Mr.. Stewart was 70 years of age.
He was native of Mercer, Penn. In
the early days of the rush to the
Golden state he crossed the plains
with his father and opened a livery
stable in Sacramento on the present
site of the Golden Eagle hotel. Later
he went to Amador county and began
a merchandising business in lone,
which soon grew to be the largest IN
the county. In 1889 he retired from
active business and came to Oakland,
where he has since lived.
A ember CT the /. o. q. f., Mr.
Stewart was we'll known in fraternal
circles. He was also a member of
the Union street Presbyterian church.
He was republican in politics and
an active worker for his party.
A widow and one son, Fred L.
Stewart, survive. Arrangements for
the funeral have not been completed
and the announcement will be made
later

EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW.
Driving Many Worthless catarrh
Medicines Out Of Existence.

The Pure Food and Drug Law,
which went into effect the first of
January, has already shown the good
that will follow its enforcement.
Many worthless remedies, that
have been advertised for the cure of
catarrh, disease that is universal
ly prevalent, have been driven out
of existence by the Pure Food Law.
The effect of this is to increase
the sale of remedies that are valua-
BILE and that fulfill the provisions of
the law. Hyomei, for example is
meeting with a larger sale than ever
before. and the City Drug store Is
still selling it under a guarantee that
it will cure catarrh or the money
will be refunded. Hyomei is a scien.
tific treatment that is recommended
by the best physicians. 1t cures ca
tarrh without stomach dosing,
through inhaling medlcations that go
right to the affected spots.
BY breathing Hyomei three or four
times daily through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every out
fit, its medicated, healing air pene-
trates TO the most remote parts OF
the nose, throat and lungs, searches
out and kills all catarrhal germs,
and soothes and heals any irritation
in the mucous membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$100, extra bottles If needed, soc,
and is sold by City Drug store under
the guarantee that It will cure or
cost nothing.
