The VOORHEES, Funeral
Conducted by EIkS.

f.. A. VOORHEES,, of Jackson. who
died IN Sonora Thursday, was a mem
ber of Stockton Lodge of Elks and
the Sonora members OF the lodge took
charge of the funeral arrangements,
four of them Messrs N. f. Pickle h.
f.. Sanford, Bert Rehm and Read Nc
Craney, acting as an escort to accom-
pany the remains to Oakland, where
they will be cremated. The funeral
party passed through Stockton yes
terday and was met at the railroad
station by exalted ruler Hudson, and
secretary f.. II. johnson, of the
Stockton lodge. Funeral services
will be held in Oakland by officers of
Oakland lodge of Elks. The deceas-
ed was also a member of Sutter Creek
lodge of Masons, and he was past
high priest of Sutter Creek Chapter,
Royal Arch Masons. The members of
the family and the brother of the de-
ceased, ex-senator h. e.. VOORHEES,,
accompanied the remains from Sonora
to Oakland.
The deceased was popular bust
ness man in Jackson, where he had
resided for many years, and he went
to Sonora six weeks ago to look into
business proposition in that city.
He was taken ill then and never re-
gained sufficient strength to under
take the Journey to his home. His
wife was with him through his illness

The Sutter Creek Bank

Little has been heard of the condi-
tion of the Sutter Greek Bank since
the closure by the bank com III issioner
two weeks ago, to enable the com
missioners to investigate the affairs
of the bank, and determine its
solvency or otherwise. 1t is reported
that the officials of the Niles bank
object to' the report that the Sutter
bank Is connected with. the Niles
bank, and to the implication thereby
conveyed that the latter bank is in
any way involved in the troubles of
the Sutter Creek concern. 1t is
claimed that the Niles bank is all
right.
Circulars have been sent out con-
veying the impression. or rather in
tended to convey the impression, that
parties in jackson have been knock
ing the Sutter bank, and blaming
them for the suspension. 1t is far
fetched explanation. 1t is hardly
likely that anyone would maliciously
try TO lnJure a'banklng firm; especial
ly in time of financial dlstrust like
the present. Indeed. it is far more
probable that one bank would help
rather than injure sister institution.
But the law of self protection applies
in snch matters, and depositors are
not going to stand idly by if they be-
lieve their interests are in jeopardy.
Notwithstanding all that is said,
we sincerely hope that the Sutter
Creek bank may regain is feet. Its
collapse would be a severe blow to
the county, and would do Jackson no
good. Let us hope thai the commits
sioneIs can report so that the bank
may speedily resume business

The Projecting
Show Windows.

Early this week the city marshal
served notice upon some property
holders, that If certain projecting
show windows of business houses
we're not removed by the Doth of
February, the city marshal would re.
move the same at the owners ex-
pense. There are half dozen win
dows that project four inches to
foot beyond the line of the brick
walls. They have been so from 25 to
30 years. They do not interfere with
travel in the least, and as a matter of
fact no one has complained about
them. On what the city trustees
based their action in passing an.
ordinance requiring their lem oval we
do not know; probably the incentive
came from themselves to annoy and
harrass the business men. These
show windows are tolerated rim cities
which have been Incorporated sfor
years. Whether the trustees have
authority, under the conditions in
Jackson, to order their removal is a
debateable question 40 But the ordin-
ance pretended to make failure to
remove them by the LIST of February
a misdemeanor, punishable by fine
not exceeding one hundred dollars
or by Imprisonment. They seem to
have backed down from that top lofty
position. Fancy trying to make a
property holder criminal for doing
nothing. Now they have taken a new
position and propose to tear out all
projecting windows if the owners fail
to remove them; power really which
the ordinance itself does not express
Ly confer.

An Old Time Map.

We have been shown IL curiosity in
the shape of pocket map of Cali
foruia, published by j, Ii. Cotton 4
Co., New York, in 1856. 1t is l6Xl3
in size, and doubled up so as to be in
cloth board cover 5x3}5 inches. Anna
dor county is shown on this map to
reach clear to the Utah line, Nevada
not being created either as a territory
or state at that time, and Alpine
county was not thought of at that
date, it's territory being at that time
included in Amador and Calaveras
counties. The only towns marked in
Amador are jackson, Volcano, Dry
ton and tiddleton, and those in
Calayeras are San Andreas, MDke-
lumne Hill and Musphys. It is quite
an interesting relic of early days.

Will Purchase
Old Machinery.

Hamilton Eddy and wife we're here
the latter part of last week from
Nevada county, where he is super
intendent of the Delhi mine, located
a few miles from North Bloomfield.
He came here to inspect certain
machinery at the Oneida plant, which
Is for sale, and which his company
can use in the development of their
property.
The Delhi is one of Nevada county's
best producers, being a quartz mine.
1t is situated on the side of a very
steep hill, so that it has been worked
by series of tunnels. But now they
intend to sink shaft in one of the
tunnels, and il agreed terms can he
made with the Oneida company, will
install paIt of their plant. The
country is so rough that the mill is
about eighteen hundred feet below
the works, and Is reached by means of
tramway.
Mrs Eddy was raised in Amador
City, her name having been Williams.
while MIR Eddy was employe by the
Bunker Hill in that place a mum ber
of years ago. They spent a day there
renewing old acquaintances. Monday
morning they returned to Nevada
county.

ConspicuousIy Absent.

The petition for an election to vote
on the disincorporation of jackson
was somewhat of surprise to those
who are running things. They SEEM
ed to be labUring under the impress
sion that enough names to call an
election could not be obtained. And
now they are entering upon an ill
advised effort to belittle those attach
ed to the petition. The Dispatch
intimates they are principally from
the Ieila and Argonaut mine. Even
If that we're true, what of itY Does
our cotemporary wish to convey the
idea that those laboring in 5he mines
have no right to voice in the affairs
of the city in which they live-that
it is presumptuous on their part to
take any interest in governmental
matters. Also, that those who have
invested largely in developing mines,
should not assert any rights in a
government of the people and by the
people. We hope, the miners and
Others involved, will pay due heed to
these needless slurs by our cotempor
ary. The fact is the petition en-
braces all classes of citizens business
men, miners, property holders. They
are American born, Italian, Austrian,
English, ETC. fair and solid re-
presentation of the people of Jack
son. We are reliably informed that
the Argonaut and Zeila mines have
an aggregate of between $40 and $50
names on their payrolls. 1t would
be strange indeed il petition en-
bracing l43 voters did not have upon
it fair percentage of such employees.
But we wish to say one thing. There
is not upon the petition a single
name of the office. holding class,
either county or city. The men
whose ideas of progression are ex
emplited in tattening at the public
crib, are conspicuous by their ah-
sence. All other classes are repre-
sented, with this notable exception.

Settlement of
WiIdman Claims.

Five suits were up in the superior
court last Saturday against John H..
Spring, formerly of the Wildman
Mining Company. They we're the
outcome OF mechanics liens filed
against the mining property in May,
1907. I
The plaintiffs against Spring in the
suits on Saturday were Morris Brimn,
who claimed that the defendant owed
him balance of S14S7. 81 for supplies
furnished, also a claim of K. y. Nc
Kean for S774.82 which had been
assigned to Brinn besides the costs I;
f. Cassinelli, who claimed S249. 25 tor
labors and the costs of the suit; Alex
Menchini, who claimed S498. % for
labor and costs; A. g. RamaZotti,
who claimed S1526.6 81 for labor and
costs, which includes the claims of
Others which had been assigned to
him, and Minnie Provis, who claimed
S3G2U.O7, included in which were the
claims of others. Judgment was
entered In each case in favor of the
plaintiff for the amounts prayed for.
In all the above cases Minnie Provis
IVES the chief witness, for she has
been bookkeeper tor some time be-
fore the mine closed down.
John Ii. Spring became the owner
OF the Wildman Mahoney mine and
other claims a short time before May.
1906, buying 1T in at trustees sale
of the property to satisfy certain
loans made by Spring. He opened
the mine in May, and operated it
until May last year, since which time
it has been completely closed. At
that time very few of the men had
been paid for their. labor, so the
liens we're placed upon the mines.
Then Morphy comes along and offers
to take over all the debts, amount.
ing to nearly half million dollars,
and mortgages all his land N Che
northwest to Spring. the latter giving
him a deed to the Wildman and other
claims. Morphy offers the creditors
two dollars worth of stock in the
California Cons. ~ lines Co., which he
formed almost Immediately, for every
dollar the mines owed them. Some
of them agreed to this proposition,
but limited it to the amounts due
them before Spring took hold Of the
company, So the suits in each case
were for the payment of debts con
tracted while Spring had charge All
these men have other claims against
the Wildman before it came under
the management of Spring.

Troubles of
The Dispatch.

Bank Of Amador County vs.. E. G..
Rust, VIM. M. Penry and Wm. M.
Penry jr. This action, started early
in 1906, is for the foreclosure of a
mortgage executed by the first named
defendant in May, 1905. Rust borrow
ed 5000 from the bank in 1897, had it
renewed in 1901 fol, the same amount,
and renewed it again in May 1905 for
S332. 40. The mortgage. was on a
Chandler and Price Gordon press in
the Dispatch office. During the trial
Wednesday, Vim. NJ. Penry stated
that there was no such press in the
Office, but that there was Chandler
and Price job press there, and that
he had received bill of sale in May
1903 from r. G. Rust for this press,
which instrument, for various reasons
he had failed to record until Nov.
1905, six months after the mort
gage was placed on record. Upon
cross examination, he admitted know
ing that this press was mortgaged,
and was the one Rust intended should
be mortgaged, but he said the latter
had promised to satisfy it. The
attorney for PLAINTIFF showed that Il.
g. Rust had been the publisher of
the Dispatch, and produced as evid-
ence copies of the paper. Penry ad-
mitted that Rust had charge of the
paper, by virtue of an agreement
whereby Rust would finally become
the owner of the business and plant,
but he stated that during that time
and for some time previous, he had
been the actual owner.
VIM. Penry, jr. testified that he
was the present editor and publisher
of the Dispatch, and worked there at
the time Rust was in charge. lie
knew that the job press was mort
gagged, but the hIst he knew of its
being renewed was when the report of
the documents recorded came in,
probably not more than a week after
it was placed on record. n. G. Rust
failed to appear. X. g. Bole appear
ed for the plaintiff Silas Penry of
Sacramento for defendant Penry.
The case was tried before Judge G.
W. Nichol of Tuolumne county,
Judge Rust being disqualified, being
n brother of defendant Rust. After
hearing the testimony, plaintiff was
10 days in which to file
briefs, defendant to have 10 days to
reply, aud plaintiff 10 days thereafter
