Veteran Miner ~. ing.

The Stockton Independent OF October
l6, has this to say of the expected visit
Of our veteran pioneer to take part in
the Rush of 40, which is to be pre-
scented in that city next week.
Among the visitors of note during the
rush will be c. Peters of Jackson.
Mr. Peters is 81 years of age and is a
'49er in every sense of the word. He
retains all of the typical characteristics
Of the '49er and even to this day has
the pan, boots, guns and other neces-
saries of those times in his possession
which he used during the rush for gold.
Mr. Peters will be escorted TO Stockton
by Charles Ginocchio and will be
warmly welcomed by Stocktonians.

Looking up the Big Bar Bridge
Matter.

James Keith, district attorney Of Cal
veras county, was in Jackson last Tues
day and Wednesday His visit was for
the purpose Of examining the records in
this county bearing upon the Big Bar
bridge, to be used in the case now pend
ing, brought by Mrs Gardella, the
bridge claimant, against Calaveras and
Amador counties to quiet her title to
that property. The supervisors of Gala
veras county, when faced with doubts
concerning the title declined to consum-
mate the purchase of the bridge at the
agreed price of $4,000 until the question
of title was decisively settled by the
courts. Hence the suit. Amador county
is equally Interested with Calaveras in
this suit. If Mrs Gardela wins Amador
will have to pay one half the purchase
price and her equal share of the ex-
penses of tine suit The district attorneys
of the two counties are therefore equal
ly interested in defending the suit in
behalf of their respective counties. Mr.
Keith came over specially to look up
any data that might have any bearing on
the subject While here he gained
much information of value in the pro-
ceedings from his own personal investi-
cation of the records. He is determined
to do his duty and defend the suit to
the best of his ability. If the case goes
against the counties in the trial court,
he will take it to the appellate court,
so that the questions involved may be
finally settled. He informs us that the
demurrer of the defense was overruled
by the court last Monday. He is now
engaged in preparing his answer.

Estray Law.

The estray law was amended in i'm
portant particulars by the last legisla
ture. One of the new amendments is
that the finder of estray animals shall
publish for two weeks, one week after
the finding, notice with description of
the animal. with brands, the probable
value of the animal, the place where the
taker-up found and where he has con-
fined the animal. If branded or marked,
and the brand recorded, the finder must,
in five days, notify the owner, and this
notice will take the place of the publ
cation notice and recording. Where the
finder could before charge Is cents for
the keeping of horse, mule, jenny, ass,
COW, bull, OK, steer or colt, now he may
collect 30 cents; and where before, for
every sheep, goat hog or other animal
not specified, he could collect 5 cents,
he may now charge 10 cents.

Eighty-Thousand Times,

Margaret Wilson Young signed Theo-
dore Roosevelt's name 80, 600 times in
the seven years he was president. She
is special secretary to the president,
and is going along signing president
Taft's name as she did that of Roose-
welt. The Office Mrs Young fills was
created in 1912, when it was decreed
that all patents from the land Office
should be in the name of the president
and signed by him. Before president
Arthur's time the Office was filled by
man at a salary of $500 a year. Con
gress at Arthur's request authorized the
appointment of woman clerk to sign
the land patents, and it is this post Mrs
Young occupies at salary of $1,000
year. Angels Record.

Needle in BODY for IS years

Mrs M. ]. Ledoux of Sacramento,
s@flo is visiting relatives in This COUNTY
some twenty years ago, when a resi-
dent of Oneida valley in this county,
had needle imbedded in her back. 1t
gave little trouble at the time, and as
the years passed by little was thought of
the matter. A few weeks ago she felt a
soreness and pain in the right leg near
the thigh. An examination by a relative
revealed sharp point, which proved to
be the long-lost needle. 1t was extracted,
and the pain soon disappeared. The
needle was discolored by its long en-
tombment in the living flesh. Mrs Le-
doux keeps it as memento of her re-
markable experience.

MINING NOTES.

Bunker HILL The stock Of this mine
is now held at "a per share, and stock.
holders are not over anxious to part
with it at that figure. A sale of a small
block was made in Jackson at that price.
The thirty-elghth dividend was paid on
the 18th instant, of four cents per share
aggregating $4,000. The last month
run was not only sufficient to pay this
dividend, but also enough to carry a
substantial amount to the surplus as
we'll
Argonaut Sinking is in progress at
this mine, the 40-stamp mill being kept
going to its full capacity at the same
time. 1t is the intention to sink 200
feet, which will carry the shaft down to
1880 feet on the incline. The mine is
looking we'll and the resumption of
dividends is looked for soon.
Strike Reported. A strike of rich ore
is reported from Hunts gulch Matt
Thomas in prospecting on a location
between the Doyle and Champion
mines, discovered a ledge four feet
wide, carrying gold in liberal quantities
The ore is said to prospect in the neigh
borhood of 800 to the ton. The claim
was formerly located by Matt Thomas
and W. Doyle, at present Thomas claims
to be the sole owner. The strike has
revived the hopes of the mine owners of
that vicinity. There is considerable
gold taken out in pockets in that gulch,
but heretofore no well defined ledge has
been worked to any extent altough a
number of claims promise well to de-
velop into paying properties.
Kennedv-The force of miners was
laid off again last Monday, to enable
shaft repairing to be prosecuted. 1t is
expected that the lay-off will last one
week. Ore has been accumulated in
the ore bins and chutes sufficient to
keep the mill running for that length of
time. When the rock on hand is ex-
hausted the shaft srepairs will be sus-
pended, and the miners started to work
to accumulate another reserve, and in
this way it is the intention to keep the
stamps in motion, and thoroughly repair
the shaft at the same time How long
it will take to do the necessary repair
work is uncertain, as the decay of the
timbers is not uniform.

taken the buckets off their dredger and
are floating their boat about mile up

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inilamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Trial of Damage Suit

The damage suit of Van Vranken
against L. Burke and r II. Jameson
was commenced in the superior court on
Monday morning, before a jury. The
jury was selected from a special venre
summoned by the sheriff, as one of the
defendants is supervisor and as such
assisted in selecting the jury list for the
current year. The following persons
we're selected to try the issue:
John Barton, D. H. Brown, A. L.
Stewart Geo. A Kirkwood, Chas. E
Oliver, w. H. Taylor, S. G. Shealor, J.
s. Avis, Geo. Brown, W. o. Green, H.
C. Hamrick, and Geo. E. Vela.
The plaintiff is the owner of 100 acres
in San Joaquin county. In September
1908, the defendants we're engaged to
thresh some barley on the plaintiffs land,
they being the owners of steam threSh-
ing machine. While so engaged stack
of unthreshed barley containing about 60
tons was set fire, alleged to be from
sparks from the engine, and large part
of it destroyed. Plaintiffs sue for 1888
damages, alleged to be the value of the
grain so destroyed. 1t was claimed by
the plaintiffs that the fire was caused by
the carlessness of the defendants in fail
ing to provide the smokestack with a
device known as spark arrester.
From the testimony ii appeared that the
engine was compound Russell straw
burning engine.
1t was the contention of the plaintiffs
that the loss was owing to lack of Or
binary care on the part of defendants. 1t
was claimed the thresher should have
been provided with spark arrester,
and expert engineers stated it was GUS
tomary to use such devices for the pre-
vention of fires. Their experience was
with simple engines, which were always
provided with such arreSter On the
other hand 1t was commended in behalf of
defendants that spark arrester was not
necessary on compound type of en-
CINE, that the draught was not sufficient
to cause sparks to fall any distance
away. Van Vranken, the plaintiff,
a lawyer of San Joaquin, conducted
the case in his own behalf, assisted by
W. G. Snyder. c. P. Vicini appeared
for the defendants.
The jury got the case shortly after
Wednesday evening. After. over two
hours deiberation they reported to the
court that it was impossible to agree,
and were discharged At first the jury
stood 8 for defendants and four for
plaintiffs; after the second ballot they
stood to in favor of the defendants.
1t is reported that the jury were unani
nous on the proposition that the fire
originated from sparks from the smoke
stack but they differed on the point of
negligence. The plaintiffs say they will
try the case again.
