Died at MojaVe.

VIM. I'll. Burns, man we'll known
III this and Amsdur counties where
he has resided for ten or twelve
years, died at Mojave Wednesday
night last after short illness from
acute bowel trouble. Mr. Burus had
recently removed from Amador City
to Santa Cruz with his wife and two
daughters, for the purpose of giving
the latter better educational advant-
ages, and receiving good offer to go
to Randsburg left his family at
Santa Cruz and went out to the desert
mining camp, where he was seized
with his fatal illness. He started
back home but succumbed at MoJave.
Mr. Burns was native of Ohio and
So years of age. Besides his wife
and two daughters mentioned, he
leaves two married daughters Mrs
Lawrence IL. White and Mrs A. L..
Palmer both of Amador City. He
was a brother law of Grant and
Seymour Hill and M. j. Williams Of
Ell Dorado. lie formerly ran the
engine at the Union mine at Ell
Dorado, and there, as in the other
places where he has resided, he is
held in the highest esteem, and
many friends will sympathize with
his bereaved family in their sudden
and overwhelming sorrow. lie was
member of Henry Clay Lodge No.
90, +. and A. Nj. of Sutter Greek,
under whose auspices the funeral Will
be held at Union church, Ell Dorado
Sunday next. Rev. &. h. Maltmann
officiating. Mountain Democrat.

Sale Of Keystone in Doubt.

A report is current that the sale Of
the keystone, or rather the option
thereon, has fallen through. The
intending purchasers paid $4,000 upon
the delivery of the agreement, an
other payment of $4,000 was to have
been made within ten days after the
signing of the agreement. and this
was due over a week ago, and it has
not been forthcoming. From this it
IS believed that the intending pur-
chasers after full investigation con-
cluded not to enter upon the task
nnder the agreement. Word came
over Monday that the entire mill is
idle, scarcely any one is working
about the property; the electric com
pany has been notified that no more
power will be required. This looks
like a shutdown. The work set out
under the terms of the option would
have neoessitated an outlay OF 5000,
900 or more. Perhaps this expendi-
ture dampened the ardor of the east
ern capitalists who thought of invest
ing. Such an amount would not have
discouraged those conveIsant with
other lode mining. Indeed, many
mining men claim that the Keystone
was a cheap property at the figure
named.
Tie question arises whether under
the terms of the agreement the Key
stone Company will not be required
to refund the $4,000 paid on the
option.
According to report the mine has
been run at loss for several years.
1t needs exploration work at greater
depth, and this will require big
outlay,

Birthday and Reception Party,

A sjoint birthday aud reception
party was given at the residence of
Mrs z. Guerard on Tuesday evening.
1t was for the double purpose of
celebrating the birthday of Mr.
Guerard, and also as a reception to
Mrs Lemin as delegate from the local
lodge of the Degree of Honor to the
grand lodge which met in San Fran
cisco last month. The guests were
confined to members of the order. 1t
is customary for the members to give
reception to the grand delegate
upon her return from the grand lodge
but this year Mrs GueraTd rendered
this honor at her own expense.
About fifteen members we're present
and spent a most enjoyable evening.
The hostess provided an elegant
supper for the company.

The GlaVinoViCh Failure.

The store of l.. j. Glavinovich is
still closed, and in the charge of the
sheriff. 1t is believed, however, that
a compromise will be effected on the
basis, so it is reported, of fifty cents
on the dollar. The board of trsde
creditors have agreed to the terms
offered, and are now endeavorIng to
get those creditors who do not belong
to the board of trade to accept the
same terms. The outside creditors
comprise fully one-third of the
liabilities. 1t takes time to secure
the consent of these scattered
creditors. No doubt they will all
fall in with the arrangement and if
so the store will be reopened shortly.
GlavinovIch, if settlement Is effect
ed, intends to close out, and go into
business elsewhere.

1t has been freed below the four hun

siderable time to get to the bottom,

The unwatering has taken much
longer than was anticipated, owing
to difficulties of caves and other

A Pleasant Evening Party.

also a guessing contest of which Will

An Efficient Teacher Retires.

With the close of this school week
Miss Alice Gartlin retires from the
jackson public school. She rendered
her resignation some weeks ago, but
consented to remain at her post until
the trustees could secure a suitable
teacher to fill her place. NJ iss Vannie
Mclaughlin has been engaged to fill
the vacancy, and will enter upon her
duties next Monday.
Miss Gartlin has been teaching in
the schools of Amador county for the
past twenty years, and for the last
ten years has been employed in the
jackson school. Such protracted
term of continuous employment in
one place is in itself tribute to her
efficiency as an instructor of children.
1t is only simple act of justice to
say that Miss Gartlin has justly
earned the reputation of being one of
the best teachers Amador county has
ever had. and her retirement will be
regretted in educational circles. She
is we'll posted in all the details of
teaching, and has the rare faculty OF
being able to impart instruction to
Others, as we'll as to maintain dis
cipiine among those Intrusted to her
care. After her long service she felt
that she needed a rest, and hence
resigned for that purpose. 1t Is to
be hoped for the interest of the
public that her retirement from the
schoolroom is not permanent, and
that after vacation she will re-enteT
the field of labor for which she has
proved herself so we'll fitted.

Water Shortage.

Last Saturday the Standard Eleo-
trio Company notified Mrs Kichtmyer,
the proprietress of the local water
works, that on account of threatened
shortage of the liquid element, the
utmost economy must hereafter be
practiced in the use of water. The
sprinkling of vegetable gardens, lawns
and streets must be stopped. Mrs
Richtmyer notified her customers to
that effect the same day. Any viola
tion of this request will he apt to be
followed by the cutting Off of the
water supply for all purposes.
A curtailment of the water used by
the city in street sprinkling is also
necessary, until the winter rains re-
plenish the watersheds and storage
reservoirs. The mines have been
notified of the impending famine so
as to be prepared in case it becomes
necessary to shut the supply Oft
wholly or partially. Unless copious
rains come within the next two weeks
the probability is that the mining in
dustry Will be temporarily crippled.
However, Amador county has been
very fortunate in regard to the water
supply. There has been but trifiing
interference with the mining business
on this score for many years. The
requirements of the local interests in
regard to water have always been
deemed paramount. AS long as there
is water to be had, the mines OF
Amador will be given the precedence.

A GOOD REASON.
Jackson People Can Tell You Why
1t Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease, and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out OF the Eody
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kid
ney and urinary complaints. jackson
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs j. Cook, living on Broadway,
jackson, Cal, says: 81 can vouoh

Bradshaw for Constable
Retires in favor of Mckenzie

at the republican district conven-
tion held in Volcano for the purpose
of making a nomination for constable
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of L. G. Mckenzie, there was
but one candidate for the position.
Clarence Bradshaw received the
nomination by acclamatiun. The
election is for the uneXpired term,
which runs until January, 1911. The
certificate of nomination was filed
with the county clerk on Saturday.
1t is reported that e. Elmer Nc
kenzle, the son of the deceased con-
stable, will run aa an independent
candidate for the Office. We have
not heard of the democrats putting
UP anyone for the position.
Clarence Bradshaw, after looking
over the situation, concluded to re-
sign, and leave the field to Nc
Kenzie. Mckenzie has no com
petitor, the democrats having failed
to make a nomination. He is the
right man for the office, and as an
independent, under the circum-
stances, would have defeated any man
that could have been pitted against
him by either party. His political
affiliations have been with the re-
publicans. 1t was a graceful thing to
leave the tield clear for him.
