the reputation of the banner mother lode
county of Amador. The prizes we're
awarded as follows on a fifteen minute
test:
Old time miners and many others we're
greatly interested in the rock drilling
contest which was feature of the Rush
show Yesterday and many miners
gathered around the platform erected on

we're two huge granite blocks for the
contestants to fill full of holes. Hard
muscled miners we're entered in the
contest from Tuoumne, Mariposa and

I counties of the southern mines. Some
OF the spectators who seemed to know
the game said the teams should have
drilled from SO to SO inches into the
blocks of granite, but the first prize was
won by the Pedro brothers, George and
Bill, of Mariposa, who drilled in Is
minutes hole 34% inches. Frank Full
Ter and Matt. P. Thomas OF Amador

The cid town of Jenny Lind on the

signs of more activity than any other

like half a dozen fine cottages, evidently

other evidences of growing prosperity.

The special election, upon the pro-
position to bond this city in the sum Of
$40, 600 to build two new grammar
school houses, took place Wednesday.
The vote for bonding was $50; against
95. AS two o-thirds majority was neces-
sary to secure the bonds, the tissue was
defeated. There was considerable dis
cusson on the street over the matter
Many contended that the further bond
ing of this city was an absolute neces-
sity, not only for the purpose in view,
hut as it would tend to increase property
values. Others held that we had been
bond-rdden long enough and should try
to get rid of the bonds now hanging
over US before getting any deeper in
debt; that city heavily in debt was not
attractive as place of residence. The
majority of the largest property owners
in town were against bonding Placer
