from this place, Prospect.
In the streams in Calaveras county
there is an epidemic among the fish
that is killing them by the thousands.
AS the disease does not infect the small
fish, it is thought that the large ones
are destroyed by eating poisonous
weeds. Banner.
Word has been received from George
Hengeu of San Antoine who has been
below for several months for medical
treatment, that he has Undergone
another operation. One half of his Jaw
bone has been removed which the
! physicians think has been the cause of
the trouble for which he has suffered
many years. 1t is to be hoped that this
will prove successful but it will probab-
ly take some time to test it fully
Prospect
Mokelumne Hill at present is sadly in
need of a couple of gentlemen, namely,
sole mender and a soul saver. In
other words to make it ineligible to
the average mind we want shoemaker
and preacher. Our local shoemaker
has quit business, having made enough
cash in the last ten years to live in
affiuence the rest of his life, and Rev.
T. S. Wallis, who has ably filled the
pulpit in the Congregational church for
the past year, preaching his farewell
sermon Sunday last AS for the sole
mender there is great field of opera
tion and sober and industrious man
will do well in this place. OF course
there is not so much need of a soul
saver, as nine-tenths of our citizens
already have their passports for heaven
filled out, while the other one-tenth is
past redemption. However, it does
seem shame that both churches in
this place should remain with closed
doors just for the want of little public
spirit. There is one thing certain,
you nor your children will never learn
anything bad inside of the church, and
if you are sincere in your belief you
will be the better for it-Citizen.
Messrs Peters and Boire of this place
have purchased the job press that was
formerly used in the Chronicle office
and have moved the same to a building
in the rear of the drug store. 1t is their
intention to at once order a couple of
hundred dollars worth of new type and
in about twenty days they will be ready
to handle job work in all its branches.
Mr. Peters will be the chief operator,
which in itself is guarantee that all
work done will be artistic in every
design. The press will be run by
small gasoline engine, contract having
already been let to Thomas Irvine to
install the same. Citizen.
Last Monday w. c. Hoss brought
down from Antelope district Mrs John
Hoss and son Henry to Martell, where
they took the train for their home in
Haywards. They have been visiting
their relatives in the mountains for the
preceding two weeks. At the same time
Mr. Hoss brought down a load of the
finest apples grown on this coast, the
product of his mountain orchard
The board of directors of the chamber
of commerce will meet next Monday al
8 80 O'Clock in the district attorneys
Office. The regular weekly meetings
have not been kept up during the heat
of the midsummer months. The
quarterly meeting of the members is
scheduled for next month, the first
meeting of the full membership since
the organization.
A new method of stocking the barren
streams of the higher Serras with fish
is to be tried out this fall by the state
commissioner and work will be COM
menced in very short time. This is
to take adult fish from the streams that
are well stocked and convey them to
streams that are barren, instead of try
ing to send cans of the fish from
some of the state hatcheries, with re-
suit that thousands of them die before
they are planted Some of the streams
are very heavily stocked with fish, and
as the season of low water will soon
be here, they can easily be caught by
seneS and traps.
The barren streams are nearly all
high up towards the summit AS these
streams descend in series of falls,
the fish cannot ascend, and must be
planted at the head of the streams.
Adul fish placed at the head of these
streams will propagate rapidly and
half dozen will be worth more than
