NEW MAIL ROUTE.

The post Office department is call
ing for proposals for through mail
line from Jackson to Plymouth. The
inconvenience Of the present mail
facilities along the mineral belt has
long been a source of complaint.
Public attention has been repeatedly
called to the matter, pointing out the
absurdities of the existing system.

miles, has to travel 70 miles to get
there. From Drytown to Amador, 4
miles, it requires a journey Of 10
miles to get to Its destination. Some
time ago a post Office agent was
through here, travelling over the
route from jackson to Plymouth, and
of course became conversant with the
flaws of the mail arrangements as
they now stand. The result is the
department is now calling for pro-
posals for a direct line from jackson
clear through to Plymouth. Bids
will be received by the second assist
aut postmaster general at Washington
until July ID. and the contract is to
be let for one year, from July 20,
1909 to June 80, 1910.
The route is from Plymouth, by
way of Drytown, Amador City,
Suffer Greek aud MaTtells to Jackson,
u. % miles and back seven times a
week. The time schedule Is set forth
as follows: Leaves Plymouth daily
at . a. IN. 4; arrives at Martell by $40
a. m. leave Martell at 90. arrive at
jackson 9 80. Leave Jackson at 3 :45
IN, arrive at Martell 4 :25; leave
Marteli for plymouth etc. ON receipt
of mail from tram but not latter than
G30 p m; arrive at Plymouth IN 3
hours aud 20 minutes. 1t is thought
that this new service will cut out the
line from Carbondale to Plymouth.
The time schedule is in accordance
with the arrival and departure of the
train at Martell, somewhat incon-
venieut for the local travel between
the towns on the Mother lode. The
new contract will no doubt do away
with the present contract of carrying
the mail between MaItell and Amador
City. This is done by the Amador
Central Railroad, but the company
Is ready to relIuquish whenever other
arrangements can be made. Carrying
the mail from Martell to jackson in
the evening on arrival of the train,
and from jackson to Martell in the
morning to connect with the train
will not be intertered with. The
service will continue to be done by

cations we're read from varions
points, congratulating the people of
jackson upon this step in advance,
and promising to aid the movement
in every possible way. The com
munications were from the State
Promotion Committee with head
quarter in San francisco, from the
Union Pacific Railroad Company,
asking for literature giving intorma-
ton concerning Amador county as a
desirable place for settlement by the
homescekers, and from several other
points.

dered his resignation as secretary,
and in doing so stated that it was i'm
possible for him to devote the time

necessary; that his duties as superin-
tendent of schools were so aIduous
that they took the whole of his time.
lie would do everything in his power,
however, to help the movement. The
