A Noble" Stand.

The Ledger is frequently asked to
suppress items of news. Sometimes
the request refers to matters of re-
cord. And very often the argument
is used that the publisher of the Dis
patch has agreed not to publish the
item provided the Ledger will agree
to adopt the same course. A request
of this kind came to US this week
with the further statement that the
interested party would bring the
written agreement of the Dispatch to
that effect if necessary. We in-
variably turn down all such requests
especially when coupled with the
argument that so and so will suppress
the news if the Ledger will do like
wise. We have supreme contempt
for the editorial policy that is dictat-
ed in that fashion. The Ledger is
governed entirely upon the judgment
of its editor as to what matter is
proper for publication, and its duty
to its readers andsthe public. Never
since we have been identified with
the newspaper business have we ever
intimated that we would be guided
by the course of a contemporary in the
suppression of any items of public
interest. We have always managed
to ''paddle our own canoe regardless
of the SILLY Willie" course of our
contemporaries. And the newspaper
man that hasn't sufficient gumption
to rely upon his own Judgment or
who lacks the manliness to act his
own part, always playing to shift the
responsibility of his own course upon
the shoulders of a contemporary, is
about as contemptable "a specimen
of the Journalist fraternity that we
have run up against IN a career of
nearly 80 years in the profession. We
want to say right here once for all
that our contemporary can save him
self the trouble of referring such
matters up to the Ledger lie can
take it for granted that any item
worthy of publication will he
published in the columns OF this
paper il we hear of it.

The Old Mail System

The Jackson postmaster received
notice from Washington early this
week that the proposed new contract
for the extension of the mail line
from MarteIl clear through to Ply

celled, The contract had been offer
ed to the Amador Central Railroad,
which has the old contract for carry
ing mail as far as Amador City, to
extend the service to Plymouth. but
the company refused to accept. The
government has therefore fallen back
on the old service and Plymouth

Cases Dismissed

As stated last week Wm. Ross, the
tailor. was arrested on complaint of
j. y. Mason of petty larceny in steal

which was in the pants pocket at the
time, the pants and other articles of
clothing we're thrown out of the

Both cases were dismissed last Satur-
day. Ross has concluded to leave
town, and is making preparations to
that end. AS soJn as he has disposed
of his effects, tailoring stock, etc, he
will take his departure to what point
he is at present undecided. While
the new tailor has had stormy

dealings with him we have found
him strictly straightforward and

Baseball Notes

At the Zeila park Lust Sunday a
Sacramento team, known as the
Panama Murphy Independents, tried
conclusions with the local players.
and scored an easy victoy. The
jackson players did not appear to be
in their usual form. while the oapi-
tai city boys we're right ON the spot.
At the close of the game the score
stood to in favor of Sacramento.
The same day an improvised nine
from Jackson went to lone in one of
the autos of the local garage aud
played game against an. impIo-
vised team from that burg. The
Jackson boys seem to have had soft
snap, the valleyItes not being in it at
any stage of the proceedings. At the
end of the seventh innings the score
stood 10 to 4. with lone al the short
end. Seeing the hOpelessness of the
contest it was decided to quit.

To Quiet Title
To Valuable Placer Mine,

The case of Frank GaribaIdi and
Frank Devenceuzi against August
Grillo, John b. GrilIo and James
Grillo, sr., which has been on trial
court OF this county, since the 18th
of July, was concluded last Friday.
1t is an action tn quiet title to a
valuable placer mine, situated in
Voclano mining district, about one.
half mile north of the town of Vol
cano The plaintiffs claim that the
ground was vacant and unocoupied
mineral land in August, 1909. at the
time they filed placer mining
location on the same. and contended
throughout the trial that they had
perfected valid location, which
complied with all the mining laws
and regulations, and we're entitled to
a decree of court in their favor.
The defendants claimed to have
acquired twenty (20) acres of the
piOpClby Ill NiophbO Wy Nllbuo VI OOoO
from M. l.. Christensen in 1907. and
by virtue of having held and worked
the claim continuously for over five
years Immediately preceding the
commencement of the action. The
evidence offered at the trial of the
case showed that the deed OF defend
ant was detective, but it was ad
mitteG in evidence by Judge Wood,
only for the purpose of establishing q
color of title.
The defendants have never done
any work on the surface of the claim
where it could have been seen by in
tending prospectors, but claim to
have done the necessary annual as.
sessment work by a tunnel, which
was driven into the claim from ad
joining lands owned by them. Nc
proof of annual laEor was filed by the
defendants prior to commencement
of the action.
The case was tried by the court
without jury. A. Caminetti and
Robert G.. Bole we're attorneys for
plaintiff, and VIM. j. McGee and
&. p. Vicinl attorneys for defendants.

years, and will be used at north Shaft
for considerable time longei, the
strain at that shaft, owing to the
lesser depth, not being so great as at
the main shaft. On last Sunday the
sinking operations had reached a
depth of 1905 feet, and still sinking.
South Eureka-At this mine they
are making extensive additions and
improvements of permanent charac-
ter, indicating that in the Judgment
of those in control the mine has at
last entered upon stage OF stable
prosperity. They will install an
electric power hoist. The saw mill
of the old Oneida company has been
purchased. aud will be moved at
once, and placed in commission.
The mine gives employment to over
100 men. The clean up of last month
is reported to have almost equaled the
generous yield of the preceding
month, which was over $4,000.
Bunker Hill.-It is reported that
this mine had a record breaking
cleanup for the month of July. Ihe
yield OF free gold aud sulphurets
was, according to reports, some over
S25, 600. Ibis for 70 stamp mill is
something out of the ordinary, being
$3.50 per stamp. The net proceeds
of the month we're about Sl3, 600.
There Is not another mine on the lode
operating to-day that is making
such flattering showing. And it is
proper to say that no rgouging of
the mine was necessary to accomplish
this output. The Bunker Hill is all
right. and promises even bigger
things yet in store.
Argonaut The incline shaft OF this
mine has reached depth of 32'7
feet. This week new cable was in
stalled in each compartment of the
shaft The aggregate length OF the
two cables is 9400 feet. They are
made OF plow steel, ll5 inches in
diameter. One cable was installed
August 8, and the other on the 10th.
They are asId to be the longest cables
used in mining in the state. Each
cable weighs 5000 pounds.

Gold Brick SWindlerS.

This city had an experience the
past week in the gold brick swind le
line. On Saturday last two strangers
struck camp. They gave their names
as j. u. Lilly and John Reese. They
we're evidently confederates. opera
ting together to fleece the public.
After partaking OF meal outside the
city proper. they came into town in
search of Victim. They ran up
against Charley Tam. One of them,
Lille, showed him what purported
to be scarf pin with gold nugget
containing If genuine at least So in
gold forming the head OF it. He
palmed it off on lam for 81. 10 in
clothing. At this juncture the
partner appeared on th scene, and
offered similar pin for S4 in com,
and this offer was accepted and the
money paid.
VIM. lam was told ut the bargain
as soon as he appeared at this store,
and doubted the gold part of the
story. So the pins we're taken to j.
FL. Langhorst for testing, and pro-
nounced to be bogus. The pair we're
arrested and taken before the city
recorder, and in default of bail we're
put in Jail. Lilly concluded to stand
jury trial, and the case came of
Tuesday morning, the defendant
pleading his own case. The jury
returned a verdict of guilty as
charged.

Will Close Down Temporarily.

1t is reported that the lone fire.
brick making plant will be shut down
after this week for an indefinite
period. This Is not on account of
the industry proving non productive,
by any means. The plant has been
running very successfully, and has
proved a profitable venture for those
who invested their money therein.
They have turned out something like
1l00U per day. and have about 30O, 600
on hand. The particular matter that
has induced the manager to close the
works temporarily is the placing Of
large quantity of fire brick OH the

process of liquidation. This com
pany has nearly two million brick on
hand, and intend to dispose OF the
same at great sacrifice. They are
said to be offering these brick at one
half price, and in view of this slump
it was deemed advisable by the lone
people to close down until the market

CURED for the first cooking.
Steam Cooked Vegetables
Vegetables cooked under pres
sure of steam are very much finer
in flavor and with much less loss
in nutriment. Something is lost
in boiling. Most Of the boiled
vegetable cooking is tasteless, un-
slightly, soggy and indigestible; all
this Is changed with steam cook
ing. Remember the art of cooking
Is very largely producing flavors
which create a wholesome appetite
and please the taste, and of so
preparing the different foods that
the right changes take place in
them. Too hot fire frequently
destroys results most desired. One
great trouble with American cook
ing today is the extreme haste with
which 1t Is done, and my one plea
is for better cooked vegetables;
much of it, as done by most house
keepers, upsets the true definition
of cooking.

DISCONTINUED FROG.

20, dear! wish l were bird
instead of what ! ami" sighed the
disconnected frog. He was sitting
on log under some tall cattails
that grew beside beautiful lake,
watching proud crane splash
about in the water. 1T must be
nice to spread ones wings, sail
high in the heavens and be able to
see everything on earth that is
beautiful. Now, can't see much,
for I am small and can only hop
around through the swamps and
dive under the water. Heigho! my
life Is very lonely!" And two big
tears rolled down his cheeks.
AS he sat there bemoaning his
fate an idea suddenly came to him.
He sprang from the log into the
water, and swan until he reached
the crane. He could see her web
feet Vnr,.part of her long, slender
legs in he water. He chuckled
gayly to himself as he broke some
strong seagrass and twisted 1t into
a rope. He tied an end firmly
around each leg of the crane, so it
made seat like swing. Then he
sat on 1t and clasped each of the
birds legs with his hands. The fish
lowered around and watched him
curiously. One little fellow grew
bold enough to ask him what he
was going to do.
Mr.. Frog wanted to see where
Mrs. Crane lived, so he jumped
from the swing and cut the rope
quickly with his sharp teeth so she
could walk.
Her home proved to be a pretty
nest. In it were three little ones
and a good natured husband, who
kept house in her absence.
Mrs. Crane said YEARLY to her
mate, DO you know, l often wish

under the water and see all the
beautiful things hidden there.

The water was so cool and sweet,
and ] longed to see the delicate
shells and rare flowers beneath It.
Mr.. Frog was astonished to learn
that SO travelled a cerature could
be discontinued, too. He began to
realize that folks cannot have ev-
erything, and that discomfort
causes deep unhappiness.
