Handling Firearms.

II is often asserted that the more one
handles firearms the greater his re-
spect for them. Proof of this is found
In the great scarcity OF accidents on
well regulated ride ranges or trap
shooting grounds. Millions of shots
are fired annually In competitions ct
dying targets without accidents OF a
serious matter, and ON the rifle ranges
where group and individual shooting
Ia carried on at the same time enough
lead Is sent into the backstops to an
initiate an army In the majority %
all the cases snat have come within
notice during the past quarter of
century-and they have been remlrka-
bly, few In number--those who have
been injured violated all the rules OF
safety and were themselves to blame.

Narrow Escape.

M. M. Nichol met with an adven
ture last Monday, which fortunately
was unattended with serious conse-
quences. He was working on his
brother j. j. Nichols place near
Pine Grove. The two were engaged
in harvesting operations, hauling hay
from the field. The hay wagon was
loaded on steep hillside, which re-
quired hand on the upper side to
prevent it from capsizing. When the
load was on, the horses pulled the
wagon beyond the steadying hand on
the upper side, and in an instant the
wagon turned somersault down the
hill. NJ. Nichols was on the wagon
at the time, and jumped to save him
self. lie rolled some twenty or
thirty feet down the declivity, but
escaped with few bruises. The
horses went clean through a barbed
wire fence, breaking down several
posts, and strange to say they also
escaped with slight injuries. The
wagon was somewhat demoralized,
and will take about S15 to restore
1t to former condition.

found rather hard to hit, but his
arm gave out and needed a rest. so

and given the ball. During that inn
ing the ZONES piled up seven runs,
which accounts for the score being so
close at the end of the game. A re-

MINING NOTES.

A letter from Massachusetts dated

Ing mining at Defender:
Amador Ledger :-Piease send me at
the above address two copies of the
Ledger of that issue which bad the
editorial concerning Amador mining
compared with Nevada. hope to
get the Boston Herald or Transcript
huancial editors to copy same as it is
the sort of truth our Eastern in
veetors should get next to. The
Amador Gold Mining and Milling Co.
now operating the Defender Mine
under agreement with the Gold Ridge
Mining Co., is very we'll satisfied
with the prospects at defender. 1t is
always pleasing to us to read local
Items about the property, which we
believe will bear writing up. A
good many Amador people are inter
ested in this property, through owner
ship of Gold Ridge stock. | am en-
closing our last years report which
gives an abstract of Turner's and
Wolfe's reports on the property.
Since then practical consolidation
of the properties has taken place,
although separate organizations are
maintained. We are now studying
conditions, and plan to install proper
equipment as soon as we are able to
determine what that may be. In the
meantime we are employing dozen
men at the mine, and hosting and
milling upwards of ten tons day.
1t is our opinion that the combined
claims will justify the erection of a
forty stamp mill.
The directors of the Gold Ridge
Mining Co. are f.. B. Joyce, K. G..
Bole, h. b. Endicott all of Amador
county; Prof. S. P. Sharples of Bos-
ton, formerly state chemist and
assayer for the Common wealth of
Mass, and myself.
The directors of the Amador Gold
Mining and Milling Co., are Frank
Tucker, Chas S. Cain, formerly of

John q. Fisher and myself, all OF

and at our annual meeting in June
we shall add G. f. Whittemore and u.
L.. Osgood jr., of Boston.
The conditions at Defender as pre-
sented by Turner, Wolfe and Sharples
have been laid before three of the
best known mining engineers IN
America, one of whom has great
record in California. who have not
hesitated to pass very encouraging
and satisfactory comments upon the
property.

AN INTERESTING RELIC
OF EARLY DAYS
A Newspaper Over 100 Years Old.

We have been shown by the favor
of Charles Reynolds a copy of the
Ulster County Gazette, published at
Kingston, Ulster county, N. Y, Janu-
airy A, 1900. The publishers were
Samuel Freer i Son. 1t is no doubt
fair sample of journalism in the
early days of the republic. 1t is a
diminutive sheet consisting of tour
pages, 12Xl8 inches each page, and
four columns to page. 1t is in a
fair state of preservation, while the
paper is somewhat faded the print is
perfectly clear and readable, except
in one or two spots. The greater part
of the paper is taken up with an
account of the funeral of George
Washington, who departed this lite
Decem Der IA, l799-nearly three weeks
prior to the date Of the Gazette.
There were no telegraphs, telephones
or railways in those days, and for the
dissemination of news the mail stages
and sailing vessels were the only
means of dependence. Events on the
European continent are ohronicled,
that took place three month before.

Ball Game Sunday.

Last Sunday a baseball team from
Volcano and the Jackson nine met Oh
the local grounds with the result that
the visitors went away with very
soreheads, for they were beaten by
the close score Of 8 to 6. From the
first few innings it looked that the
game would be very much closer than
it was. Fryer of Electra pitched for
the Volcano team, and with exception
of one inning, held the jackson boys
down very we'll. Sockey played his
usual game but lacked the support of
his team. The Volcano team had
been gathered from various places, so
that they were the hardest PROPOSE
ton that the local team has run up
against this season. Every little
thing was contested by both teams,
the result being that the game was
full of wIangling. Insthe last inning
the score stood to in favor of
jackson, but the Volcano boys got a
move on themselves and piled up
three more in short order. The score
was SO close that there is talk of rails
ing purse of 500 or more, for the
teams to play on some outside
ground, probably lone. Ibis gives
promise of being one of the best
games of the season.
