Flag-Raising in Berkeley.

Washingtons birthday was celebrat-
ed IN Berkeley by the raising OF the
tallest single stick flag pole in
Alameda county, The pole is a
straight slim Blue Gum or Eucalyptus
Il little less than 100 feet tall, and was
erected in the yard of the Alpine
Wood Co.. of which Carlton Bartlett,
formerly of Jackson, is treasurer and
secretary. Quite a few OF former
jackson residents were present be-
sides a number Of Berk eJeyites; also
the tire department took part in the
affair. During and after the raising
of the pole remarks were made by the
most prominent of those present, and
cheers went up as the pole settled in
to its upright position.
When the concrete foundation is
sufficiently hardened, a large Ameri-
can flag will be displayed from the
apex of thep ole on National holidays
and special occasions, on other days
the house flag of the Alpine sWood
Company will wave in the fresh cool
breezes from the Golden Gate.

Another Tailings Plant.

A new method of saving con-
centrates after leaving the mill is in
process of being tried at the Zeila
mill, by Messrs W. II. Carley and X.
Fortner. The new method is the in
vention of Hambric and barrow of
Suffer Creek It is claimed that it
has been tried and proven successful
on n small scale at the Central
Eureka tmine. Any way Carley and
Fortner have been so impressed with
its advantages over the old canvas
plant process that they have dis
carded their old method for the new
Ever since November the plant has
been in process of erection and trial,
and it is not yet IN full running
order. The method has been dubbed,
"Ihe Merry go-round," because Of
its resem blance to that contrivance.
II consists of canvas plant, with a
circular motion impaired thereto,
the claim being that this motion will
concentrate the sulphurets better
than the stationary canvas plants.
Another advantage claimed is that il
takes less labor to run it, as one man
can attend to it, so that two men
one day and the other night shift, can
operate it. The affair is being watch
ed with much interest 1t is the
first ATTEMPT to install plant on q
large scale. The machine has been
started, but owing to breakdowns
from one cause or another, it has not
got into efficient working shape yet.
The boys are sanguine of its eventual
success, and should it prove so, they
are in line to make good thing out
of 1t, as it is likely to rapidly super.
cede the old system.

The grand ball given last Saturday

we're present from the two towns.
Quite delegation came over from
Amador City, besides which people

and all of them left with the feeling
that they had enjoyed themselves.
The music was rendered by the Lodi

Suffer Creek Bank.

A published statement coming from
the bank commissioners, says that
the Sutter Creek State bank, which
was closed G month ago by order of
commissioner Lynch, is hopelessly
insolvent. 1t is reported that there
was less than 500 on hand at the
time of its closure. From this there
can be no hope of its resuming bust
ness, although reports OF Its reopen
ing at the end of the thirty days have
been in circulation. What the de-
positors are likely to realize is uncer-
tain, but the general impression is
that the percentage will be small.
An effort is being made to start
another bank there. There is no
doubt that our sister town will have
banking facilities, but whether an
