on their return to Sonora they we're
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs VOORHEES,

return to Sonora in few days, and
from there both Will return to

the health imp1 ovement has been

MINING NOTES.


Mr.. Morphy did not arrive in
Suffer Creek last week as expected,
but he telegraphed VIM. }. MCGEE
that he would be there this week.
1t is said that the total claims against
the Wildman mines aggregate $500,
that of this sum only about $500 can
be enforced, the other claims having
either expired by limitation or are
not protected by lien or attachment.
1t is thought that if Mr. Morphy will
pay the secured claims of $500 in
money, the balance can be settled in
stock, but the creditors are deter
mined not to take stock for the whole
debt.
The Central Eureka has been work
ing few men since most of them we're
laid off about three weeks ago, tax
ing out pillar of rock, which is in
the rich streak that paid so we'll in
years gone by, and is run through the
mill at night.
All the mines around Amador City
have been taking on men for the past
month. The mines in this section
are looking better.

The lone Excursion.

AT first it was intended to have a
special train leave Martells at seven
O'Clock next Thursday evening to
take those down to lone who wished
to attend the dance, and for it to re-
turn at.two Friday morning. But so
many have expressed the wish that
the train wait for the dance to break
up, that the I. &.E. people have de-
cided to have the train wait for the
crowd. There will be no dance here
Thursday evening so quite a crowd is
expected to go down, some in the
morning on the regular train so as to
take in the foot ball game in the
morning at Preston school between
boys from there; afl;a. the two basket
ball games in the afternoon, one
between the girls of the high school
and those from Lodi, and the other
between the boys and a team from
Berkeley high. The round trip fare
will be just half the usual amount,
while admission to the two games
will only be thirty five cents, and to
the dance $3.50. The Lodi orchestra
will give the music.

An Aged Lady Killed.

Tuesday afternoon as the train was
pulling out of Gait, and just after it
had turned from the main line onto
the Amador branch, Mrs Cooper, an
odd lady about eighty years of age,
residing in the first house beyond the
forks of the track, was run down and
died before they could get her to
Gait to surgical attention. The
fireman noticed her first, as she was
about to cross the track some dis
lance ahead, and motioned TO the
engineer to stop. He applied all the
air and pulled the whistle, but the
old lady was probably deaf, and since
she had on big sun bonnet she
didn't see the train. The engine
struck her on the shoulder and threw
her some distance. She fell on her
head, probably fracturing her skull.
Other than cut on the head there
was no other bruise on her.
