taken place in recent times, we may
mention the coast of New. Jersey,
which is sinking at the rate of about
two feet a century. This is evident
from the advance of the water upon
the coast line, and from the burial of
large trees in the New Jersey swamps,
which formerly grew on dry land, but
are now sunk many feet below water
level. DR.. Robert Bell brings evidence
to prove that the land about Hudson
and James bay is rising at at rate of
from FIVE to seven feet century.
The southern coast of Greenland Is
slowly sinking, while that of Scandi-
navia is rising. Darwin has shown
that the eastern coast of South Amer
lea has been rising since the glacial
period. In 1922 100000 square miles
along more than 100 miles of the
western coast was permanently raised
three or four feet by single earth
quake shock. In 1919 the bed of the
Indus at its mouth was sunk IS feet
and the village and port of Sindree
permanently submerged, while por-
ton of the delta of the Indus SO miles
long and 16 broad was elevated ten
feet. About 1879, Following numerous
earthquakes in the vicinity Of New
Madrid, on the west side of the Mis-
sissippi river, little below its juno
ton with the Ohio, stretch Of country
800 miles long was so affected by
earthquakes that numerous tracts
were sunk down and others raised, so
that many new lakes and islands were
formed and the bed. of the Mississippi
| much changed.

Kings river is from 1900 to 1000 feet
in depth, which the river has cut in
hard granite.
We have been accustomed to speak
of such gorges as produced by CON
vulsions" of nature; and there are
many chasms in the earth's surface
which have been produced in that
manner, of which the valley of the Jor-
dan is conspicuous example. But
the impressiveness Of canyons pro-
duced by the steady action of slower
those produced by a sudden convul-
sion. When one reflects upon 1t, how
ever, the process seems very simple,
and the effects not at all extravagant;
for geological time is long. If river
saws down through the rocks and low
ers its bed foot in 1000 years (Which
is almost inconceivably slow it would
produce a gorge 1000 feet deep in
100000 years; whereas IL 1t lowered
its bed a foot in 200 years 1t would
produce canyon 5000 feet deep in
100000 years. We can easily mag
inc the rate to be many times more
| rapid. In comparison with the river
gorges which we have mentioned that
| below Niagara falls seems very insig-
niticant and of very recent date.
The Niagara gorge, extending from
Lewiston up to the present cataract,
is but seven miles and half long and
about 900 feet deep; yet this is all the
work that has been done by that
mighty river since the drainage of the
great lakes began to flow in that direc-
Ftion. Recent surveys have shown that
the falls are wearing back at the rate
of nearly five feet year; thus show.
ing that, il present forces have been in
operation constantly, this cataract can
not be over 1000 OF 5000 years old.
The Falls of st. Anthony at Minneapo-
lis have worn back, for the Mississippi
river a narrow gorge Of similar length
and dimensions and at about the same
rate. If the other gorges mentioned
show by their vast extent the great
length Of geological time, these gorges
illustrate by their diminutive extent
the regency of some of the most mar
! velous events in geological history.

Sale of Mining Property
Under Tax Deed.

On Saturday last sheriff Gregory.
as tax collector, sold under the
authorization of the state controller,
certain mining property situated at
Amador City, Including the follow
ing claims: Eclipse quartz mine,
Eclipse extension quartz mine and
Last Chance quartz mine. These
properties lie between the famous
Keystone mine and the Original Anna
dor mine. They we're sold to the
state some years ago for delinquent
taxes. Parties represented by Asa V.
Mendenhali, as attorney petitioned
TO have the properties put up for sale
by auction. and the notice of sale was
duly published. For some reason,
the sale was postponed, and suit
was commenced against the sheriff for
deed, on account of the refusal of
the sheriff to accept the tender of the
sum due for taxes and costs by Men
denhall. Finally Saturday was fixed
for the sale, and although an injunc-
tion suit was started by j. h. Billiard
to restrain the sheriff from selling,
the writ was denied, and the sale was
made. A. V. MendenhalI was the
purchaser, for the sum of $1,000, and
the deed was issued forthwith on
payment of the amount. 1t is under
stood that the real purchasers are the
parties operating the adjoining claim
known as the Original Amador.
They are considered very promising
properties, and little development has
been done on them.
j. W. Caldwell, attorney represent
ing the former owners, was present at
the sale and made a formal verbal
protest against the disposal of the
properties, ON the following grounds:
LIST. That the state had no legal
title. I'd. That the sale was not
authorized by law. Sd. That the pur-
chaser would buy the same at his
peril.

Death of a Pioneer Lady.

Mrs Rosa Froelich died at her home
on Broadway about 6 O'Clock Monday
evening. She never recovered from
the shock she sustained, by fall and
exposure, when about a week prior TO
her death she rose duriLg the night
and fell among the bushes in the
yard, where she was found the fol-
lowing morning in an unconscious
state. How long she had lain there
no one knows, as she never regained
consciousness to give an account of
the affair. She had for number of
years been in feeble health, incident
to extreme age. Everything was done
in the way of careful nursing and
medical skill to restore her, .bnt with
out avail. She was Sc years of age.
Deceased was resident of jackson
since pioneer days. She was married
four times, her first husband died in
New Orleans, prior to her coming to
California. In jackson she was
married to a mar named Slaughter,
who died in early days. Thereafter
she was united in marriage to Mr.
MentZel, who carried on an assaying
business. Mr. Froelich, her last hus-
band died some thirty years ago.
Deceased leaI es no children, and no
blood relations in this state. She
was at one time possessed of con-
siderable property, but of late years
her wealth has materially declined,
owing to her kindly disposition in
assisting her friends. For several
years, when failing health incident to
advancing years rendered her almost
helpless, Mrs A BRAN ofsky, an in
innate friend, has lived with her at
the Broadway home, and carefully at
tended to her needs. She has been
her companion for the last nine
years, and it is understood in con-
sideratIon of her kindness in this re-
gard the property which she left,
consisting OF the homestead and cash,
aggregatlnR several thousanu uollars,
has been left to her.
Mrs Reimers sister-in-law of Mrs
Abram ofsky, came up from San
Francisco on Sunday, aud was pre-
sent at the closing scene.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon, under the auspices OF the
Eastern Star, of which the deceased
had long been a mem Der. Services
we're held in the M. e. church, Rev.
+. Ii. Nicholas officiating, A very
large procession of members of the
lodge, and private citizens followed
the remains to their last rest in the
public cemetery in the family plot
by the side of her life companion
who preceded her to the land OF
silence long years ago.

Automobile Line to Sacramento.


There was some talk last spring of
the starting of an automobile stage
line between jackson and Sacramento.
But the enterprise never materialized.
This year, however, the line is to be
fairly launched, and the initial trip
started this morning from the
National hotel. The parties interest
ed in this line are L.. II. Young, j.
l.. Allen and u. Enos. They we're
here Wednesday in the auto, which is
to be the passenger car, making all
necessary arrangements for starting.
We understand Mr. Enos IS to be the
pilot of the conveyance. The stage
will make a round trip daily. leaving
the National hotel at a. m. and
arriving in Sacramento about noon.
On the return trip, the stage will
leave sacramento at 2:30 in the after
noon, reaching jackson at $3.50. by
this arrangem ent parties can go to
the capital city and get back the
same day, having two and "a half
hours to transact business in Sacra-
mento. The new line will go by way

MINING NOTES.

Bunker Hill-This mine paid its
usual dividend of three cents per
share on the 10Th, and at the same
time an extra dividend of a like
amount, making 6 cents for the
month, aggregating $4,000 for ~
stamp mill And these dividends
we're practically paid from the net
proceeds of the preceding month s
run. This makes the 30th and 3lst
consecutive monthly dividends paid
within the past 81 years.
Mitchell. The CranmeI brothers
continue their operations on this
claim at Pine Grove, with very
hattering prospects. They have Sc
cured from the owners an extension
of the option for one year, which
gives them ample time to prospect
further. They have discovered new
ore cody, entirely distinct from the
old workings, and 400 feet distant
from the old shaft. Here they have
sunk a shaft on the ledge to the
depth of 60 feet. Twelve tons of rock
taken from this place we're hauled to
the two stamp mill at Pine Grove and
crushed. The proceeds were S495,
averaging over SAL per ton. With
this yield they have put the ten stamp
mill on the Mitchell property in
thorough working order, and expect
to start crushing early next week.
The ledge is about two feet thick, and
heavily freighted with value through
out. Everything looks we'll for a
prosperous run this summer. GER
tain percentage of the gross proceeds,
under the working agreement, must
he devoted to payment of royalty,
which however, in the event OF con-
summating the sale, will be applied
as part of the purchase price. They
have enough ore on the dump and In
sight to run the mill through the
summer.
According to advices received early
this month. a rich ore body has been
struck in the Lolita claim, which is a
portion of the mines owned by the
Goldheld Del Monte Company, in
Garfield mining district, which are
being operated by Geo. 1. Wright,
formerly OF the Del Monte mine in
Calaveras county. Some of the assays
runs 5000 per ton. His many friends
in this county will be pleased to hear
that there are good reasons to believe
that the Wrights will eventually come
out all right in their mining ven
lures, after so many years of earnest
work in the mining fields in Cali
fornia and Nevada.

A full outfit of new paws for the
Catholic church arrived from the east
Monday. They are made of solid
oak, and present very handsome
appearance. 1t was expected that
they would reach here in time to be

this proved disappointing. They

including freight charges, about 5000.
With the work of putting them in
place, and removing the old ones,
the cost will run in the neIghborhood

shape for the confirmation services
next Sunday, when Bishop Grace

Plaintiff is precluded from recovery
under this subdivision because she
was not ~ the peaceable and undis-
turbed possession of said land within
five days preceding the entry. AS
seen by the authorities above cited
not constructive.
the Justices court is for the sum
of $1,000 only, and the property in
dispute of but little value, yet the
principle involved here is an i'm
portant one. Justices courts are
given jurisdiction of actions for for
chile entry or detainer when the
rental value of the property does
not exceed S25. 90 per month and the
whole damage does not exceed $780,
yet this iurisdictio is limited by the
constitutional prohibition upon
justices court ia determining quest
ions involving the title or right to
the possession of real property and
the same limitation governs this
court in the exercise of its appellate
jurisdiction.
If the plaintiff is the owner of the
property described in the complaint,
or has the right to the possession of
the same or right of way over 1t,
her rights may be enforced in this
court under its original jurisdiction
by an action to quiet title, OF eject
ment or by an injunction-and the
party dissatisfied with the judgment
may appeal to the supreme court of
the state. Whether any such rights
she has, this court is wholly devoid
OF power to determine IN this action,
and this decision simply goes to the
extent OF determ lining that as plain
tiff was not in the peaceable and
actual possession of the property at

preceding the same, she cannot
maintain her action to obtain pos
