New Canvas For
The Italian Picnic.

A new tent has been purchased for
the Forthcoming Italian picnic. The
tent has already been received at the
depot awaiting to be erected on the
grounds, and this will be done about
the middle Of next week. The tent is
in the form of parallelogram TOKYO
feet, and made something after the
fashion of circus tent. 1t will be
much more convenient and cosy than
the old affair, arrangements are being
made for shutting out wind and
storm if necessary. The old tent had
become useless to Withstand the
effects of a slight wind. We under
stand that large number of distin-
guished persons from San Francisco
are expected to attend, including the
Italian consul. Everything points to
a festival Of more than usual attIac-
tion this year.

Shot a Bear From Train.

The Yosemite tourists on the train
Sunday night had some excitement
which some said gave them their
moneys worth without going on to
Yosemite. 1t was not holdup, but a
genuine bear hunt. The train was
proceeding up the canyon when con
ductor Monet saw large brown bear
in the first gulch above Sweetwater
creek on the opposite side of the
MERGED river from the tarin some 300
yards distant lie quickly signalled
the engineer to stop and reached for
his 1913 high power Winchester. by
this time the tourists had their eyes
on the bear and the conductor and
his gun. With the crack of the rifle
Mr. Bear lunged his full length into
the air and fell over dead into a
clump of bushes, the bullet having
struck him IN the back and passed
through the body. Evidently he had
Just come out of his winter quarters,
for his hair was long and bleached.
1t is in this gulch that the travellers
on the1train have been treated to the
sight of a herd of deer every even
ing for the past two months and bruln
is the one who has scared them away,
MERGED Sun.

is almost completed. They have
reached beyond the 100 level. The
skip was found at about 1l50 feet. 1t
had become detached from the cable
either by the effort to raise it or the
fire had burned the rope. 1t had
fallen some 50 feet from where it
got caught. No human body or re-
mains were found near the skip,
which tends to dispose of The reports
concerning IA man being caught under
the skip. The work of clearing has
progressed much more rapidly than
was anticipated, and the expense,
although great, has not been any
thing like so heavy as it was feared it
might be. 1t is Chopped to have the
full number of stamps in operation
by the first of July, and also that the
era of dividends will again be in
augurated in a short time thereafter.
Defender. r. b. Joyce was down
from this mine Wednesday, bringing
the output of bullion for the past
month for shipment to the mint.
The mine is looking we'll, and the
product continues to be satisfactory.
We understand the yield last month
averaged over Sc per ton in free gold.
The cost of mining and milling is
about four dollars per ton, so that at
the present rate the stockholders
have fully one-third of the product,
excluding sulphurets, as net profits.

Eastern Star Entertainment.

Last Saturday evening was one OF
especial interest at Masonic hall, the
occasion being the official visit of the
grand worthy matron of the order Of
the Eastern Star of the state of Cali
fornia, an event occurring not oftener
than twice in five years. The incum-
bent, Miss Emma RiehI, was met at
the K. +. station by MIS- Yum bel,
Chapter No. 6G, who entertained the
honored guest during her stay in
jackson.
The hall was decorated for the
occasion i'll an unusually tasteful
manner, festoons of flowers being
mingled with long lines of miniature
flags, giving a novel and pleasing
effect. a large attendance was pre-
sent, and the head of the order care
fully inspected the qualifications OF
the present custodiaus of the Mystic
Chain. After this banquet was
spread, which needs no praise beyond
saying it was such as the sisters of
the order usually prepare. Then a
rich feast of mental entertainment
followed, serious, witty, solemn and
mirthtul. All present felt that such
events come only too seldom.
Monday a delegation from the order
escorted Miss Riehl to Mokelumne
hill, where she was to continue her
official duties.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The democratic state convention
which assembled in Fresno on Tues
day, was dominated by theodore
Bell, who managed to dethrone the
old-time boss, Gavin McNab, and
take the sceptre in his own hands.
He seemed to run things with
higher hand than the erstwhiIe leader
ever dared to do. The point on
which it is said McNab was endorsed
was the matter of instructing the
delegates. The forces marshaled
under Bell we're in favor of instruc-
tions for Bryan for president, in
accordance with the wishes of the
man from Nebraska McNab, on the
other hand, favored an unrestricted
delegation.
The delegates to the convention
which assemblies in Denver on July
7, are as follows:
First congressional district-J. L.
Raker, Modoc; John f. Quinn, Hum
bolt.
Second congressional district -
Thomas Fox, Sacramento; W. P.
Lynch, Butte.
Third congressional distriet-Robert
McKillican, Alameda; S. j. Sill,
Alameda.
Fourth congressional distI ict-Ju US
tus S. Wardell, San Francisco; Charles
Edelman, San francisco.
Fifth congressional district-H. A.
Blanchard, Santa Clara; Nicholas
Bowden, San Jose.
Sixth congressional district-Geo.
E. Cats, San Joaquin; M. X. Harris,
Fresno.
Seventh congressional district
Milton X Young, Los Angeles; l. b.
Dockweiler, Los Angeles.
Eight congressional district-B. f.
Thomas, Santa Barbara; Eugene E.
Capps, San Diego.
The platform Is patterned after the
usual sugar located style, framed for
the purpose Of catching votes, rather
than as a declaration of political
principles. 1t declares in favor of
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties, reduction of railroad rates, the
exclusion of all Aslatics, an immedi-
ate revision of the tariff, and the
placing of lumber and the necessaries
of life on the free list; the indie
pendence of the Philippine Islands;
the creation and maintenance of a
large and efficient navy; a direct
primary law, election of president of
United States by direct vote of the
people; it favors the exemption OF
labor organizations from the opera
tion of the anti trust law; also the
regulation of banks for the protection
of depositors.

VIII Take Trip to Native land.

Several of our citizens contemplate
next month, expecting to start about
the 10Th OF June. Among them may
be mentioned w. j Harvey the fore
man OF the Iella. lie has secured A
six mouths leave Of absence, COM
mencing the firsS of next month.
This vacation will, he used in the
trip, accompanied by Mrs Harvey, to
England, the birthplace of both of
them. Mr. Harvey recently sold his
dwelling house, and furniture and
from this the impression has been
received that he would not return.
But this not justified. 1t is his IN
lention to come back. lie has been
away from the old country for twenty
years, and after such heightened
stay in this county, it would be very
hard to get back into the ways of the
old world.
Another party that expects to start
for Europe about the same time, CON
sists of Louis Poggi and wife,
Domenico Boro, ID. Bernardo, VIM.
Tam all of jackson, and Mrs Anita
RetaggIiata of Amador City. Poggi
has not seen his folks for 80 years.
This party will probably go direct to
Italy. They are all going on visit
intending to be away from three to
six months. ...s.si a. q. .a.a

Mary Mine, Blair, New,
May Is, 1908.
Editor LEDGER
Dear Sir-While meditating of old
Amador county it occurred to me TO
write a line to your valuable paper,
which 1 am glad TO say, we have the
pleasure of reading regularly every
week. And 1t comes as letter from
home to myself, as we'll as the rest Of
all tho Amador county boys which
are here, and there are many Of
them here. At times it makes
one think he was either in jackson,
Suffer, or the great city of Anador,
and a more jolly whole soul crowd of
men and youngsters 1T would be
difficult to find. And as for their
work you can't beat them. Andrew
Noce, whom most everyone in Amad or
county as we'll as adjoining counties
knows as a mining man of ability, has
lad charge of this property for a year
OF more, has achieved some Of the
most economical mining known in
South Western Nevada, and venture
to say in the state. And am proud
to be able to write since the com
mencing of this short epistle of New
ada, Noce has been put in full charge
Of the property as superintendent.
The Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining
Company is now one of the best
equipped mining properties in the
state, and perhaps one of the greatest
mines on the coast. The Mary Mine,
with many more mines in conjunction,
is simply a mountain Of ore. The
mill which is situated at the town of
Blair, distance Of two and one half
miles by the way of the cable tram
way, being a 100 stamp mill running
full capacity, and supposed to be one
of the best IN the state. The ore is
transported from the mine to the
to the Head House at the top of the
train distance of a mile or more by
an electric locomotive, carrying u
train of eight cars, and one-halt ton
to the car. The mine at this time,
and l would say for years to come,
will be tunnel proposition, making
it mine of good ventilation and de-
sirable working. Ibis company is
now installing three hundred horse
power compressor, the latest of the
Ingersoll type, supposed to be the
best. Geo. o. Bradley, very able
mining man, is widely known as
general manager of this property.
Among the Amador county boys
will mention few which | think
most of you know: We find Long
Reube Ford, Earl Liversedge, j Ohm
Noce and Bradshaw as shift bosses.
We take a look in at the blacksmith
shop door, and find there Major
Lathlean, an old time Sutterite of
Wildman- Mahoney fame, handling
the tongs as of old, also we see the
smiling face of johnnie Redpath, one
of Suffers merry good, boys in full
charge of the Wood Brothers drill
sharpener. He turns out drills like
hot cakes on hot stove. Then we
see John Cassinelli as conductor on
the motor train. We also find here
Bill Moony, or as we call him the
man in the moon; also tIggie Ard tito,
Nick Arditto, Bill Mclaughlin, and
many more too numerous to mention.
Old Sagebrusher.

MINING NOTES.
Mime Is Bonded.

The Dane and Mitchell quartz mine
and mill, which is located near Pine
Grove, has been bonded by the owner,
John f. Davis, to John j. Cranmer of
that place. Cranmer is to take pos
session on the first of the month, and
must start operation at once. He
agrees to sink the shaft 100 feet below
the present level within the next
year, 2and one-tourth of the cleanup
each month is to go to the present
owner to be applied upon the pur
chase price. 5000 must be paid by
this time next year, and an equal
amount the following year, when
deed will be given for The property.
The ten stamps on the property are
to be running within the next couple
of weeks. The ledge on this claim is
known to carry good values, and with
the proper management will probably
become large producer.
Argonant This company has start
ed the sinking Of new prospect
shaft about two thousand feet south
Of the old one. 1t is the intention of
the management to prospect their
ground thoroughly. 1t they do not
strike the ore body in one place they
will try another. At the 1000 level
the values show up very we'll, and it
is hoped that they can strike the
same body from a new shaft. Besides
which, this would give them better
ventilation throughout the mine.
Whether the shaft started within the
past few days Will be the permanent
one Is not determined; this will de-
pend upon circumstances. Sinking
operations are heing pushed along as
rapidly as possible. The mill has
been kept going, but not to its full
capacity. 1t is expected that milling
operations will be curtailed during
the development operations now in
progress. There is little doubt, how
ever, that this mine will come out all
right. 1t is almost "a certainty that
good values will be opened up below
the present workings. The trouble
has been that prospecting and de-
velopment work were allowed to lag
behind. until the ore bodies in the
opened levels we're almost exhausted.
This applies only to the vicinity of
the shaft, where practically all the
rock that has supplied the mill has
come from. The central and south
portion of the Argonaut ground, as
we'll as the Hoffman field, which is
also the property of the Argonaut
company, is virgin ground. And
there is every reason to believe that
pay rock will be found in this large
extent of uneXpored territory. 1t is
to this end that the surface operations
have been started in this field, so as
to locate a desirable point to sink
permanent shaft. Another shaft will
greatly improve matters from a
ventilation standpoint.
