mine at AmadOr City, while dumpin
a car Thursday, severely jammed tn
knuckle of the right forefinger. AL
though the abrasion was slight tn,
wound was so painful that DIR. Lynch
was consulted. The doctor founc
that the bone had been Clipped SO b.
treated it properly and the wound
which would have caused a stiff finge
had 1T been neglected, will be as gooC
as ever in few days.-Amador Re

Judge W. l.. Rose of this place whit
was in attendance at the Safe fair, re
turned last Sunday evening. The
judge is interested in the Rose Manu-.
featuring Company of San Jose
which was awarded a special goIc
medal for the best gasoline traction
engine on exhibition. His brother s.
S. Rose, had worked hard to perfect
the machine, and we are pleased tc
see that its merit has been fully rea
liked and appreciated by disinterested
parties. This engine has a drawing
power far in excess of any of it,
weight now on the market, and gits
Improvement is founded OH sound
mechanical principles. This machine
will doubtlessly revolutionize the
mechanism of modern traction
engines. -Amador Record.
The McNeeley copper mine in the
Irish Hill district is being reopened
by the lone Coal and Iron Company,

more than % years. George w. Tan.
ton OF Berkeley is superintendent and

chinery, and making preparations fol-
active prosecution of the work of re.
opening the old shaft, il found to be
practically fit for use. 1t is the in
tention of the company to thoroughly
prospect the ground and secure the
best available location for working
the rich copper deposits known to
exist there. The 1eopening of the
mine will ,give work to quite a froce
of men. Besides reopening the copper
mine, the slone Coal and Iron Com
pany swill thoroughly prospect the
Irish Hill and other portions of the
Grant for deposits of gold, copper
and coal. This campaign of prospect
ing, with view to development of
these mineral resources is to be ener-
getically prosecuted.-Io Echo.
1t is almost a certainty that the
$50, 0GO bond issue recently voted by
the Sonora school district for the
erection of new school buildings Will
come to no avail, and the entire
matter, election and all, Will have to
be gone over sagain. The trouble
arises from the fact that the capital
lists who were to purchase the bonds
have discovered a technical flaw in
the proceedings concerning the estab-
lishinent of the boundaries of the
schoul district. They asked for an
abstract of the district boundaries
which could not be furnished. The
district was organized in the early
SOS and has been in existence with
its present limits ever since, but the
boundaries were never officially estab-
lished by the supervisors as provided
by Neutrality-suspicious..
We learn from the Sierra Times
that sixteen foot vein of rich ore
has been uncovered on the 26O0-foot
level of the Gwin niue. The strike
only goes to prove that there would
he a number of such mines as the
Gwin along the Mother Lode if
capital enough we're only invested to
gain the depth at which the Gwin is
now being worked. Grass-root COM
panies have been the curse of the
county for years past, and will con-
tinue to be as long as that sort of
mining exists.
The board of supervisors of Gala
veras have fixed the county tax rate

William Sozzie, who resides at the
Big Bar bridge, caught striped bass
in the river at that place one day last
week that measured ~ feet in length
and weighed nine pounds. The
Federal Fishery Bureau planted in
an arm of San Francisco bay in the
year 1879, one hundred and thirty five
striped bass one and a half to three
inches in length from the Naversink
river, New Jersey, and in 1882 three
hundred more small fish we're planted.
As for the commercial value of the
