MINING NOTES.

Bay State. The water is giving con-
siderable trouble at this mine, between
Plymouth and the Costumes river 1t is
difficult to handle it with the present
hoisting facilities. Unless the flow
abateS materially, it is believed a pump
will be necessary to control it,. The
outlook for the mine continues to be
favorable.
Kennedy. The miners were put to
work again last Saturday, the mill hav
ing exhausted the reserves of ore stored
to tide over the repairs in the shaft
After another quantity of rock has ac
cumuated in the bins, another section
of the shaft will undergo repairs, and so
on until the shaft is in first-class con-
.dtion.
Orr Claim Good reports reach us
concerning the prospecting operations on
the Orr claim, just beyond the town
limits of Plymouth. AT the depth of 10
feet a four foot vein has been en-
countered of fine looking rock, carrying
a heavy percentage of sulphurets. The
residents of the old mining town are
stroong in the belief that new era of
mining activity and prosperity is about
to dawn in the north end of the county.
Fremont. This mine gives employ
ment to about so men. The mill is
mining 40 stamps steadily, having in
creased from 20 to 40 during the past
three or four months, since Phil
Roberts took charge as underground
foreman. About 5000 tons of ore are
crushed per month.
Keystone-The Misunderstanding with
the employees regarding payment of
wages was settled Saturday when the
men we're all paid in full what they had
coming, whereupon all the employees
went back to work, and everything has
been running along smoothly since. The
mill is kept going, but what the ore
yields we have not learned. 1t is the
belief that to get the mine on a good
working basis it will be necessary to
develop the ore bodies at greater depth.
Pay rock in the existing slopes and
levels was pretty thoroughly worked out
by the preceding management. The
history of mother lode mining in this
county, however justihes the belief
that the Keystone, which has not been
touched below 1900 feet, has hardly
passed the prime of its career as a gold
producer.

A FIRE BUG Killed.
Set Fire in Sheep Ranch, Causing
Loss of $4,000.

On Thursday night an attempt was
made to burn Sheep Ranch, seventeen
miles north of here. According to a
report received on Friday morning by
The Record, the facts were as follows:
About 10 O'Clock on Thursday night a
man named Austrian John, " who lived
on the outksirts of the town, set fire to
his cabin and barn, which were quickly
destroyed. He then tied his mule to a
tree and, taking an AK split the animals
head open.
The man then left the premises, going
to Mrs Clark S, home, where he set fire
to the house and barn. Awakened by
the noise made by the man, Mrs Clark
discovered the fires and by hard work
extinguished them before much damage
resulted
Leaving the Clark place, Austrian
John then went into Sheep
Rauch going to the general merchan-
disc store of Stephens Bros, where he
cut the fire hose. He then took a lot
of coal oil and saturated the building,
after which he set fire to it, Within a
few minutes the store building, livery
stable and blacksmith shop were in
flames, all of which with their contents
were soon destroyed. This entailed a
loss of about $4,000, with no insurance.
After starting the last fire, Austrian
John left Sheep Ranch, taking with
him two rifles and large lot of am
munitiOn, going to the hills just out of
town
A telephone message to The Record
this morning from Murphys, states that
about 5 O'Clock Friday afternoon
Austrian John" was shot and killed in
the woods about one-half mile from
Sheep Ranch where he was discovered
by Constable Emil Schwoerer sitting on
the ground.
Schwoerer spoke to him, ordering him
to throw up his hands. To this no at
tention was paid; the order was re-
peated, and then Austrian John"
started to raise his shotgun to his
shoulder, when Schwoerer fired, using
shotgun loaded with buckshot, the
charge striking him in the breast
Austrian John fell and while on
the ground drank about two ounces of
carbolic acid from bottle tied around
his neck When Schwoerer went up,
the man drew a revolver from beneath
his vest, whereupon Schwoerer shot and
killed him with a revolver.
AT the time of mis- death the man had
coal oil can tied on his back, filled
with oil and barley sack waste being
evidently prepared to start more fires
during the night Angels Record

GARIBALDI-GRILLO
MINING CASE
Of Fact and Conclusions of
Law by the Court

On October 2lst Judge Wood filed his
findings of fact and conclusions of law
in the case of Garbald versus Grillo
Bros as follows:
Findings of Fact.
That plaintiffs we're not at the com.
mencement of this action, or at any
other time the owners of, or in the pos
session of, nor have they or either of
them, any estate, right, title or interest
whatever in or to the land or premises
described in PLAINTIFFS complaint, or
any part thereof.
That defendants and their grantors have
not been, nor were defendants at the
time Of the commencement Of this ac-
ton, the owners of any of the land des-
cribed in defendants answer and cross
complaint, but it is fact that on August
20 1902, and long prior thereto, one M.
Christensen was the owner of said land
and that on said day he executed a GER
tain deed, recorded in the Office of the
county recorder of said Amador county
on August 2l, 1902. in which said de-
PENDANTS were named as grantor, and that
ever since said last named date said
defendants have claimed to he the owner
of said land and premises described in
said answer and cross complaint, but
said deed is void as a deed of con-
veyance of any parth of said land in that
it does not identify any part of said land
either by description therein or descrip-
tive name; that defendants claim to said
land is not founded upon any other
written instrument, or judgment or
decree, nor did they ever post or record
a notice of claim or location upon or to
said land; that during each and every
year since the execution of said deed
defendants have in good faith for the
purpose of doing the annual assessment
work thereon, performed not less than
one hundred dollars worth of labor and
Improvements thereon, and no one else
has performed any labor Cr improve
ments thereon during said time, but the
said land was not distinctly marked on
the ground so that the boundaries could
be readily traced from the date of the
execution of said deed until the time of
the commencement Of this action nor
did defendants prior to the commence
ment of this action make discovery of
minerals within the limits OF said land ;
said land is surveyed unpatented placer
mineral land of the United States.
Conclusions OF Law.
AS conclusions Of law from the forego-
ing findings of fact, the court now finds
and decides; That plaintiffs are not the
owner of any part of the land described
in plaintiffs complaint and that the de-
PENDANTS are not the owners of the land
described in their answer and cross
complaint; that neither plaintiffs nor
defendants are entitled to any relief in
this action.
Let judgment be entered accordingly
Done in open court October 2l, 1909.
Entry of judgment is stayed until the
determination of PLAINTIFFS motion for
an injunction, and until the further
order of the court,

WEDDING.
A Swell Affair in Church
Wednesday Morning.

The society event of the week in
local circles was the wedding of James
J. Wright of Luning, Nevada, and Miss
Emma Boarman, of Jackson The affair
had been prominent topic of discussion
for several weeks, and the invitations
sent out to attend the ceremony in the
church were numbered by the hundreds.

nized in the M. E. church, by the Rev.
I. II. Nicholas, and even at that unusual
hour there was large number present
to witness the wedding The church
was decorated for the occasion in
more elaborate manner than has ever
been seen before in this city. Palms,
smilax and festons of golden flowers
together with ferns and red berries,
we're tastefully arranged, the designs as
we'll as the colors being artistic, and
pleasing from every standpoint. Down
the aisle strip of white cloth had been
laid for pathway for the bride TO
the altar.

ment of white silk. She was given
away by her brother Charles. Miss
Julia Tanner of Suffer Greek, was

Kennedy mine acted as groomsman.
After the ceremony the bridal party,
repaired to the residence of E. II.
Harrington where sumptuous wedding
breakfast was partaken Of Thereafter
the happy couple we're driven in a
carriage to lone being greeted as
they passed through Main street with
the cheers and showers of rice and
other mementos of the good wishes of
their many friends. AT lone they
took the train bound for a two weeks
honeymoon trip to Santa Cruz and other
points of interest
The bride is one of the best known
young ladies of this town. She has
been a society leader for a number of
years, and prominent in lodge circles,
being member of Native DaughArs,
Eastern Star and other organizations
She was always ready to take a part
in any benevolent or charitable work,
and her place will be difficult to fill.
The groom was a resident of this
county for several years, until two years
ago he repaired to Godheld Nevada,
with his father to engaged in mining
in that town. AT present he is secre-
tary of the Goldfed Del Monte Mining
Company operating group of mines

reported that Mr. Wright will again
engage in the abstract business in
which he was engaged before going to
Nevada.
The bride was the recipient of a
large number of wedding presenst, many
of them of costly character. All day
Tuesday there was stream of gifts
flowing into the future home of the
happy pair After the wedding the
church and the residence attracted many
who were desirous of seeing the unique
decorations in the church before they
were removed, and to see the array of
presents that were given on the aus
piciouS union.

AT HIS Wife
"EXCUSE ME, MIR. RUSSELL"
SAYS THE JUDGE-HANDS
OUT TWENTY DAYS.

James Russell, colored gent, ac-
cumulated a payday jag Wednesday
night, and in the early hours of the
morning started home with the
avowed intention of beating his wife,
just for the purpose of showing her
he still loved her. Mrs. Russell met
her master and lord at the door and
Mr.. Russell, apparently seeing two
Mrs. Russells waiting to receive him,
turned loose a food of swear words
that fairly shook the windows in the
houses nearby and shocked the resi-
dents therein.
AS a result Mr.. Russell occupied
the mourners' bench in the justice
court yesterday and with an Excuse
me, Mr.. Judge" started to explain
why he had disturbed the peace of his
wife. His explanations were not suf-
ficient, and for the next twenty days
the inmates of the county jail will
have the pleasure of Mistah Russell's
company.
