Home from 40 Rush.

Charley Peters got home Saturday even
ing from participating in the 40 cele-
bration in Stockton last week. His
comrade pioneer J. M. Myers, got back
the following day, being accidentally
left on the way. Both old timers are
loud in their praises of the treatment
they received at the hands of the people
of Stockton, especially of Mr. Wolf,
who took particular pains to look after
their comfort and interests. The free
dom OF the city was rendered both.
Everything was free for them. An
automobile was at their service one day,
and buggy and team another with
which to see the sights. Myers was
the Oldest pioneer in the outfit, and
Peters came next. The latter, however,
was the most conspicuous personality
in the whole affair." decked out in his
outfit OF '49 days, with big pistol and
bowie knife and ancient whiskey flask
sticking out of his pockets. He was
the cynosure of all eyes, and real
curiousity to the younger generations,
who had never before seen a real 40 in
the uniform of those days. He and
Myers amused the crowd with stories of
''ye olden time, and Peters criticism
when exhibiting his flask and gun, in
remarking that the canteen was dis
charged oftener than the pistol pro-
voked laugh every time. Both en-
loved themselves thoroughly. The
people wanted them to stay to the end
but they concluded that they had been a
way from home long enough. All the
pioneers that could be mustered on the
occasion was eight These were photo
rgaphed in group, andspictures will be
forwarded to all when completed.

MINING NOTES.

Argonaut The sinking operations
have reached to the 1900 feet and are
progressing rapidly considering the hard
rock through which the sinking has to
be done. 1t is the intention to go down
about 100 feet more, and then open a
station at the $3.50 level. Everything
continues to look very prosperous, the
mill yielding handsomely over running
expenses.
Bunker Hill.-The cleanup for the
last month which was made this week,
was the best in the history of this mine.
According to reliable reports, the free
gold was $40, 400 and the sulphnrets pro-
duced will yield over $4,000, making be-
tween S28, 600 and $29, ZOO as the total
output of the 20 stamp mill for the
months run. This is over $l400 per
stamp, record, which has rarely if
ever been ecipsed in this county with
an equal number of stamps operated on
the same policy of securing a nearly
uniform monthly yield, as possible. 1t
would be an easy matter, by running on
the richest portion of the ore bodies, to
far exceed this handsome showing.
But this method of mining is not in
favor with those in charge of the pro-
perty. 1t is considered the better plan
to work on the average rore, using the
richest portions of the ledge in like pro-
position with the lower grade of ore.
Amador Queen-Amador Queen No. /,
situated in Hunts Gulch, between the
Doyle and Champion mines, has been
leased by F. w. Ruhser and others. 1t
has been pospected to some extent by the
company owning the Amador Gold
mine, but became entangled in litigation
and was sold by order of couri some
years ago. 1t has been idle for the past
ten or twelve years. A shaft has been
driven to a depth of 1000 feet and pros
pee: drifts run easterly. The lessees eX-
pect to reopen the shaft and prospect on

after many years of fruitless search to
the eastward, being an encouragement to

The Rich Strike in Hunts Gulch-
Matt Thomas has sunk over 20 feet on
the vein recently discovered on his
claim between the Doyle and Champion
mines. The ore body at this depth
holds out both in size and quality In
deed, it is reported to be even better
than nearer the surface. The find has
had the effect of raising the expectations
of all owners of mining claims in that
There is no doubt that work
will be commenced on other mines
which have been dormant for years.

The first case on appeal from the

cided by the district appellate court this
week, the court affirming the judgment
of the lower court The case was that
of w. j. McCee VS. A. M. Bergamen
and Co. The case arose from a betting
contract in San Francisco. McGee
sued in the justice court of township
one in Amador county, and obtained
judgment for $3.50, the amount claimed
Defendants appealed In the superior
court motion was made by plaintiff to
dismiss the appeal on the ground of the
undertaking on appeal being defective
This motion was granted as TO Berga-
men q Co., but not as to the indvi-
dual A. M. Bergamen. From this
judgment the defendants appealed on a
writ of review, and the higher court has
sustained the order of dismissal. This
leaves the case in a singular aspect
The judgment of the justice court for
$3.50 against Bergamen and Co. stands,
while the action against A. IA, Berga-
men Of the same amount and involved in
the same suit arising out OF the same

Honest Dealing is the Foundation of Our Reputation
Left by the Wayside.

J. NJ. Myers, the veteran pioneer who
visited the Rush of 40 in Stockton last
week, over whose head 81 summers
have passed, met with an unpleasant ex-
perience on his way home last Saturday.
When the Amador Branch train reached
Carbondale Myers got off the train, as
many do while the transfer Of baggage
and passengers at that point is being
made. BY some mistake, he got left
behind, and the fact was not known un-
til the train had gone so far that it was
deemed inadvsable to return for the
aged passenger Myers was thus left in
a pretty fix. There was no place to stay
around Carbondale. In spite of his
years, he quickly made up his mind to
foot it to lone, 8 miles distant He
started out, and after walking one half
the distance, was overtaken by some
team, the driver of which gave him a
ride into the valley town. Here he re-
mained that night, and Sunday morning,
started 10 tramp II 10 Jackson. HE got
as far as Dufrene's place, three miles
out, and fell in with George A. Gordon
in vehicle, who brought him to Jack
son. Notwithstanding the long tramp for
one of his years, he was in good shape
when he reached town. and attended the
funeral of his old time friend, E. P.
Vandament, the same afternoon.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
FOrty-One Decisions Filed With Clerk

Columbia, April 1O.-The Supreme
court broke some records yesterday
in the number of decisions filed. there
being a total of Al sent in. All of
these were written by Associate JUS
tice Jones and Associate Justice
Woods and there was not a dissenting
opinion filed by Chief Justice Pope or
Associate Justice Gary, every case be-
ing concurred in. This is likewise
considered remarkable, as some in
terestng and intricate points of law
were involved. There are still about
so more to be sent in before the court
convenes on April 20.
The court refuses to grant the petit
ton Of Edward E. Rembert, of Sum

ASPECTS OF TRAMP PROBLEM.
More Than Half a Million Migrants
Now I'm the Country.

Gustavus Myers, in Review Of Re-
views.
The tramp question has been for
fifty years an apparently unsolvable
one in America. 1t need hardly be
said that the administration Of law
has not been able to cope with it,
Workhouse, jails and prisons have
not diminished the number Of tramps.
Charitable societies long ago gave up
in despair all ideas of attempting to
settle the question, either by the ordi-
nary or extraordinary methods of
charity. To the railroads the tramp
problem has been an ever-present and
a very serious one. 1t is estimated
that the railroad corporations Of the
United States suffer an annual loss of
100000 by reason Of the depre-
dations, intentional or unintentional,
Of the army of tramps. This, at any
rate was the estimate made by Mai
Pangborn, representing President
Murray, of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, at the national conference
of charities and corrections, at Min
neapolis. in June, 1907.
This $25.OO0,000 yearly loss repre-
sents property destroyed or taken in
one form or another The losses are
continuous from explosions or flames
due to careless lighting of fires by
tramps Robberies, obstruction of
tracks. interference with signals. stop
ping of trains. interference with en-
ployes. and wrecks which entail large
immediate loss and heavy suits for
damages-these are some Of the dis
astrous results of the doings Of
tramps. The immense number OF
tramps trespassing upon railroads.
and the fatalities which overtake
them Is shown that in a period of five
years 23,964 trespassers were killed
and 1926 injured while stealing
rides on railroads. Most of them
were tTdINpS.
1t is conservatively estimated that
there is an army Of at least 500, 900
tramps in the United States. This fig
ure is calculated by taking as a basis
the number of tramps killed on the
railroads every year and multiplying
1t by the proportion Of train men kill
ed in the year compared to the total
number Of train men employed. But
1t is entirely probable that the num-
ber at present reaches nearer 1.0O0,-
900 than 100000. The recent indus
trial depression added large acces-
sions. Reports from railway agents
throughout the country show that
never in the history of the railroads
was SO large a number of tramps met
with.
