n Expect to BE Comfortably Dead In
1908" He Wrote.

A very interesting letter referring
to President Lincoln just after his first
Inauguration and written by John
Hay is dated Washington, 1861, and
says In part:
"If there Is anything which more
than all causes me to regret the intol-
cradle press OF business about the
bility OF answering the letters Of my
best friends. have positively not had
a moments leisure since we arrived In
this city. The throng of Office seekers
IS absolutely fearful. They come at
daybreak and still are coming at mid
night.

you can command me, but you over
rate my influence. Mr.. Lincoln posi-
lively refuses TO make any recommen-
dations for positions in tho depart

his most intimate friends and rela-
tives."

called him William In my life. nor did
he ever call me John. Our inter
course has always been OF the most
formal character. have absolutely
no claim on him for myself or friends"
And in another letter Hay writes
from Washington:
II am old, sick and busy, and have
not moment at my disposition be-
sides what is occupied by my daily
tasks. Do not talk about any
thing so ridiculous as my being a can
didate for the presidency. I shall
never hold an Office after this, and |

A Japanese Leeend.

One of the prettiest OF all the stories
relating TO mirrors Is that which comes
from Japan. In this man brings as
gift TO his wife a mirror of silvered
bronze. Then she. having seen moth
ing of the kind before, asks In the in
nocence of her heart whose was the
pretty face smiling back at her. And
when. laughing. he tells her It is none
other than her own she wonders still
more. but Is ashamed to ask further
questions. But when at last her time
comes to die she calls her little daugh-
ter and gives her the treasure she has
long kept hidden away as sacred
thing, telling her: "After | am dead
you must look In this mirror morning
and evening and you will see me. Do
not grieve." So when the mother IL
dead the girl. who much resembles her,
looks In the mirror day by day, think
ing she there talks face To face with
the dead woman and never guessing
II Is but her own reflection she sees.
And II Is added by the old japanese
narrator that when the girls father
learned the meaning Of this strange
conduct of hers. The thinking II TO bo
very piteous thing. his eyes grew din

Chamber Of Commerce.

Regular meeting of the board of
directors of the chamber OF commerce
was held Monday evening In the
office of president q. 2. Vicini. All
directors present, EXCEPT A. Ginoc-
choi.
Bill OF Vela Il Piccardo for 81. 70,
for two record hooks, ordered paid.
The cretary submitted samples
of letter heads as ordered at the pre-
vious meeting. 1t was decided to
obtain cuts of the Kennedy mine and
an agricultural scene and have same
appear on letter head. A committee
of three was appointed by the presi-
dent to handle this matter, as we'll
as the envelope. Directors Ruhser,
Garbarinl and Mason we're appointed
for this purpose.
The president exhibited number
of pamphlets gotten out by counties
in UalifornIa-Te hama, imperial and
others--and it was the generally ex-
pressed opinion that Amador county
would do we'll to follow their ex-
ample, that our county has a far
greater and more varied assortment
of inducements to offer the extending
settler, which il properly presented
in pamphlet form, with illustrated,
might prove effective to lead the
settler to our county. The necessity
of larger membership to meet an
outlay of this nature, was at once
apparent, and the directors were
again exhorted to use every effort In
their power, to bring in new mem
beers. The following names were add
ed to the roll, and the fee OF 81 paid
by each, thus bringing the member
ship up to 1O1: Vincent Brlgnoli, f..
N. Soracco, M. u. Nixon, l.. f..
Stinson, John Strohm, Podesta q
Taylor, Joseph Glucktield, Amador
Lumber Co., G. NJ. Waechter, j..
Chichizola.
In the Judgment of the president
the three main things to receive our
early attention should be good roads,
good educational facilities, and fair
passenger and freight rates from out
side points to points in Amador
county.
Warrant books Of 80 pages each
were also to be ordered by the com
mjttee on letter heads and envelor es.

Went Over the Dump.

Mike Lukich, car man at the Ar
gonaut mine, met with singular
accident Sunday afternoon. He was
running a Car of rock to the waste
dump. The Car went clean over the
dump, and Lukich did Likewise,
falling or sliding on the loose rock
pile distance of twenty or thirty
feet. He was badly bruised about
the face. The most serious injury
was cut across the forehead, caused
probably by colliding with a sharp
rock. DR.. Sprague dressed his
wounds, and found that where the
cut was depression had been made
in the skull. 1t will be brought in
place without a surgical operation.
The accident will lay the victim off

JACKSON DEFEATED
BY SACRAMENTO
In Baseball Contest Sunday.

Sunday afternoon there WAS big
turnout at the local grounds to wit
ness the game between the Car
michael Baseball Club of Sacramento
and the Jackson boys. Some of the
players of the capital city we're noted
for their science in this particular
sport. Jackson's, however, were not
discouraged at the outlook. They
had taken in about everything they
ran up against for the season, and
we're confident of their ability to
hold down the strangers from Sacra-
mento. There we're lots of rooters
for either side on the ground; those
from puInts outside of Jakson were
in sympathy with the strangers, and
shouted in their behalf At the out
set the Sacramento team secured a
strong lead through some wild
throwing by their adversaries, scor-
ing several runs in this way. Jack
son never recovered the lost ground.
At the end Of the game the score
stood u to 8 in favor of Sacramento,
the most signal defeat the home team
has sustained this year.

Abundance of Trout
At Silver Lake

Chez Arditto went up to Silver
Lake Sunday, accompanying deputy
fish and game commissioner Fair
field, who went up on business At
the lake they met other parties on
pleasure bent; in all fourteen
from different points in the county.
They constituted the advanced guard
of pleasure seekers and tourists.
There was an abundance of fish, and
after the long winter of fast, they
would bite as fast as the lines were
dropped in. Every angler caught the
limit of fifty fish ger day within a
comparatively short time. Seven
hundred were hauled out as tho day g
catch. The road to the lake is rough
in Places In some shady spots it
was necessary to shovel snow from
the roadway to get through.

South Eureka. From indications
it would appear that after the long
years of assessments extending from
1891 to the present time the stock
holders may eventually be greet
ed with dividends. The history OF
this property illustrates the ups and
downs of mining on the mother lode.
1t serves to show that the gold is in
the ground almost at any point along
the mineralized belt. This property
has levied between 50 and GO ASSESS
ments since its organization. Most
of the original stockholders became
faint hearted, and dropped out.
Some held on year after year, only to
grow weary few months back at the
apparently endless chain of saerilic-
ing heavily by so doing. Latterly,
however, according to reliable re-
ports. a fine ore BODY has been struck
at the 2700 level, which promises to
place the property on a good paying
basis. The ledge is large, and of
high grade character tor the mother
lode region. The stock has jumped
from 8 cents per share just before
the strike to 60 cents offered now,
with few sellers at that.
At the South Eureka they are
putting up an electric hoist to take
the place of steam heretofore in use.
This will be the second hoist of the
kind in Amador county. At the

MINING NOTES.

Kennedy Extension. 1t will be
noticed that articles of Incorporation
of this company were filed last week.
The mining claim to be operated is
the Muldoon property, between the

feet some fifteen years ago. Parties
from Berkeley have an option on the
mine, and have been doing develop
ment work on a small scale for some

keystone. The California Con-
solidated mines has purchased the
keystone at Amador City. But so
doing this Incorporation had added
in the estimation of experts, the best
property included in its string Of
claims. The keystone is compare
lively, shallow mine. Its lowest level
has not reached anyway neal one half
the depth attained in the Kennedy,
or even IN the Argonaut. The posi-
bilities of wealth below kthe worked
out levels are beyond vast indeed.
1t Is also rumored that the same COM
pany is looking after other promising
properties near Amador City.
The Keystone passed into the
hands of its new owners last Wednes-
day. 1t is the generally expressed
hope that the new management will
proceed to open it up in systematic
and business like manner.
