Wine Making.

All the large users of claret wine
have commenced making sufficient to
last them until next season. BY far
the largest part of the wine will be
made of grapes from. around Lodi,
though all the grapes raised in this
vicinity have been disposed of. The
grapes here make better wine by far
than those of the valley, having fully
five per cent more sugar. The price
paid in Lodi is about SIG ton, while
the same grape here costs about $50.
besides which the freight from Lodi
is about "a making the price laid
down here $40, or little more ton.
Perovich expects to store about $500
gallons, Marcucci at the Broadway
hotel about 25p0, Millovieh about
1000, GiovannonI Il Co., about 1900,
Dalporta at tho California hotel
about TOO, besides which are numer-
GUS others who will make smaller
quantities.

A Warm Reception.

| r. Gutridge, former employe of
the leila mine, left here a few weeks
back for recuperation. intending to
go to Ramsey upon the establishment
of his health to work at the Ramsey
| Comstock mine, of which w. Fuller,
| also from Jackson, is superintendent.
Gutteridge appears to have been
warmly greeted, In an unlocked for
manner, as appears from the follow
ing clipping taken from the Ramsey
Recorder of September 22d:
Ramsey's first fire, accompanied by
d serious accident, occurred Thursday
about noon hour when tent frame
was utterly destroyed, the fire having
been caused by the explosion of a
gasoline stove. The place was &C.
cupied by Frank Fuller, brother Of
District Recorder Vim. Fuller, who
was preparing his noon meal E.
Gutteridge, who arrived from Cali
fornia the day previous, was also In
the tent house and was lying down
on bunk in the rear end of the
building when the gasoline stove
blew up.
Mr. Fuller, who was standing close
to the stove received the full force of
the explosion and was enveloped in
flames. Mr. Gutteridge ran toward
the door, as the whole place was filed

ing caught fire. He lay down in the
dust outside and rolled around until
his burning clothes we're smothered
of fire. He was not injured. Mr.
Fuller had the presence of mind to
grab quilt from the bunk and when
he emerged from the burning tent
GutteIidge called to him to lay down
at the same time assisting to put out
his blazing clothing. Fuller was very
badly burned about the face and
hands. All the attention possible
was given him by numerous neighbors
aud friends, and he was little later
taken over to Reno for medical
attendance. His injuries while ex-
tremely painful are not regarded as
dangerous.
fortunately the place occupied as
bachelor quarters stood apart from
any other buildings and there was no
danger of the fire spreading. The
fire again calls attention to the danger
of using a gasoline stove, and it
would seem good form of insur-
ance-both life and Hre-to prohibit
the use altogether

A Serious Fire.

Three cottages at Kennedy Flat
we're totally destroyed by fire Sunday
morning between eight and nine
O'Clock. 1t started in the ceiling of
the house owned by Mrs M. MuIdoon
of San Francisco, probably from a
defective stove pipe. A light wind
VISA blowing from the west, SO the
fire spread rapidly to the adjoining
place owned by Mrs Stevens also of
the city. The third house owned by
Mrs Muldoon was burnt to the
ground despite the efforts of the men
from the mine, who had formed a
bucket brigade. By hard work they
confined the fire to these three build
ings. All three houses we're occupied
by families, but only small proper
ton of the household goods was saved.
There was no insurance whatever on
the contents, S17OO is the total insur-
ance on the three houses.

feeling of depression and gloom over,
all the employees. The victim had
been trusted employe of the COM
pany for many years. He leaves
wife and five children--four girls
and one son. The oldest-a daugh-
ter-is about nineteen years of age,
and the youngest seven.
Deceased has been connected with
the Argonaut ever since it was started
by the present company, holding
position of responsibility all the
time. He was liked by all the en-
ployes, on account of his affable ways
and consideration for the workmen.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning at ten O'Clock. All the en-
ployes of the mine were laid off on
that day to attend the last sad rites,
out of respect to the momory of the
dead. The floral pieces were beauti
full and many. The National Crotian
Society, of which the deceased was a
member, took charge of the funeral
arrangements. Services we're held in
st. Patricks church, conducted by
Rev. Father Gleeson, and the inter
ment was in the Catholic cemetery.
The Austrian society attended in
body, in regalia, also the miners, and
large procession of private citizens
followed the remains to the grave.
He leaves his family we'll provided
for financially. His life was insured
in the New England company for
$1,000. From the Austrian society
they will receive benefits to the
amount of about $500. During the
many years of his employment, he
had accumulated fair competence.

Deer Plentiful.

Deer have been more numerous in
the section below jackson than has
been known for long time. -Four
have been killed within a few miles
of this city during the past week. A.
j. LaveIone captured one, also Elmer
Dufrene and one of the Horton boys.
N. Cardinelli managed to bring
another to town Wednesday. A band
of five or six was seen the other day.
They seem to be attracted from the
higher regions just now by the abund-
ance of acorns, and also by the alfalfa
patches. Acorns seem to be more
plentiful below than above the
mineral belt this season, and natural
ly the animals follow where their
favorite food is found.

Iue IeaSC danger; tnaG the cable was
500 feet in length, only one half of
which was used, that by changing the
cable which the deceased had spoken
of shortly before his death he meant
not putting on new cable, but
simply changing ends of the one then
IN use, as the end wound round the
reel had never been used, and was as
good as new. There was no need of
the men going on this skip, as the
main skip in the other compartment
was available, but they seemed to use
the smaller one as more convenient.
Deceased remarked to the engineer
on the morning of the accident that
he intended to change the cable short
ly, but that it would answer for a
while yet. He did not mean that it
was worn to any dangerous extent.
The jury returned a verdict that
deceased came to his death by the
accidental breaking of the cable, and
that no blame could be attached to
the company for the fatality.
1t was one of those unfortunate
affairs that no human foresight could
guard against. Everything had been
done by the engineer to keep the
cable properly creased, which was
essential to its preservation. The
wet, damp conditions existing at that
depth in the shaft made it more
difficult to keep the cable protected,
but everything was done to that end.
