The arrest of three girls in this
city the past week on the charge of
immoral conduct has caused com.
ment upon the apparent lack of re.
straint on the part of parents, and
the pity that such cause is leading
to life of shame.
A dose of state reformatory might
be beneficial in such cases, but a
dose of handmade shingles, prop
erly applied, would doubtless have
a more lasting effect; but in the ap-
plication the fond parent should re.
frain from swearing that it hurts
them even worse to give than to re-
ceive.

Extensive Mining in Alpine

The Carson News reports considerable
mining activity in Alpine county just
east of Calaverss. The Hercules Con
solidated mine is being unwatered, the
lower levels Of which property contain
splendid ore bodies. E. J. Brown, a
Reno mining man, says that he cannot
believe that Dame Nature has erected
such a magnificent mineral monument
in that section of the country for the
purpose of deluding the poor prospector
but that hidden away from the surface
indications is storehouse Of the
precious minerals that will ere long be
brought to development and mark an
other bonanza for that section OF the
country. Already two splendid electric
power plants on the headwaters of the
Carson river are in evidence and the
hum of the motors and glare of the
electric lights make things look like
business, added to the alluring surface
prospects Of the country promise much
in the near future.

Mining Men at Law.

The case of Joseph E. Kind against
John j. Hickey and Charles Lamb has
been transferred from Calaveras county
to Stockton. King, who is Mokelumne
Hill mining man, is suing for 5000 said
to be due him as half payment on a
sale Of mine option A.4f.
According to the complaint, Hickey
and Lamb, who are prominent mining
men residing in this county, bought
from the plaintiff in the suit an option
that he held on the Reed Drift gravel
mine Of the Central Hill district. The
option was transferred with the under
standing that the purchasing price should
be $500, five per cent of the option
price on the mine, $36, 900. The money
was to be paid in two installments, one
when the first purchase price was paid
and the other il the claim had not been
abandoned by September 20, 1909. The
first payment was made, but the COM
plaint states that although the claim has
not been abandoned the defendants have
not paid the last installments. Attor-
neys Snyder & Snyder of San Andreas
represent the plaintiff and Attorney A.
L. Levinsky the defendants. --lndepen

SILURIAN FARMING.
Why the Resources of this County
are not More Fully Developed.

1t is a mystery to many people why El
Dorado county is so far behind some
other counties in agriculture and horti-
culture development This was among
the first counties IN the state to be
settled with what might be termed a
permanent population. True the coast
counties had been occupied by church
missionaries a century before gold was
discovered in FL Dorado and the great
rush set in but the civilized occupation
and government OF Cal fornia practically
dates from the time of the Mexican war
and the discovery of gold following.
But that is history. Recently a lady
writer for the Sunset magazine visited
this county to gather material for an
article on this section. She visited
Pilot Hill during her swing around the
circle, and near that place stopped to
watch farmer" who was at work in
his field. He was riding an old dilapi-
dated grain seeder, with which he was
attempting to dry seed piece of land
which had not been plowed for three
years, but has been volunteered" dur
ing that time. The lady, who is fami-
liar with real farming, as practiced
where it is made success, asked ::
."What on earth is that man trying to
do?" She was told that he was "put-
ting in his CROP" "Well, if that is
the way they farm in Ell Dorado county,
| can understand why it is you need a
few settlers with ambition and a little
intelligence. That man should he sent
to the home for the feeble-minded. 1"
And she was not far wrong in her
opinion, either Nugget.

Activity at the Old Bay
State Mine.

On Saturday, November 9th, Cavigan
Isbel & Co., investment brokers OF
New York, will leave that city in pri-
vate car with a party of mining in
vestors for Sacramento, where they will
take automobiles for the old Bay State
quartz mine, which is situated in Anna
dor county near the dividing line be-
tween that county and El Dorado, and
about fourteen miles due south OF
Placerville. 1t is expected that the
members of this party will invest
heavily in the stock of the Amador Gold
Mining Company, which owns the Bay
State property and as a result the capa-
city of the mill and other machinery at
the mine will be greatly increased. The
Bay State has long been recognized as
one of the best mining properties in the
western belt of Amador and FL Dorado
counties, but lack of capital to proper
ly work it has kept the mine from being
listed among the big producers. The
Bay State is only short distance south
east of Nashville, in this county, and
there is an abundance OF water power
available on the, Costumes river near
by, while weather and other governing
conditions are equal for continuous
operation of the mine. II will be good
news to residents of that section to
know that men of means are to become
interested in the Bay State, because
capital is all that has been needed to
make this one of the leading producers
among the mines of the state. We also
congratulate the Amador Gold Mining
Company on the fact that Gavigan lsbell
Il Co. have become interested in their
property, because they are in position
to assist in its development very
materially, and the development of one
good mine like the Bay State will be of
untold benefit to this entire section. -
