Meeting of Bank Directors.

A meeting of those interested in
the Bank of AmadoI County was held
in jackson on the 18th instant at
which matters relating to the affairs
of the bank generally we're discussed.
Everything was found to be moving
along as smoothly and prosperously
as the most sangulne could expect.
A finance committee consisting OF
three members was appointed as fol
lows: g. l.. Culbert, b. Il. Taylor,
and w. j. MoHee. The duty of this
committee will be to pass upon APP
plications for loans and other matters
of finance.
1t was also decided definitely to
establish branch in Suffer Creek
Likewise to engage an expert account
ant to examine and report upon the
affairs of the bank. Ibis latter
action was taken not because of any
inkling whatever that anything was
amiss, but more, as a formal affair,
and it demonstrates the high standing
of the institution The expert will
enter upon his duties in few days.

Mr. Clark is visiting his only son,
Ii. y. CLARK. He says this ia the first
time he has seen Chicago since they
used to call it Skunkville. His
father, he declares. 'owned the terri
tory on both sides of what is now
downtown Clark street, but sold 1t
long before the big jump in land
values came. At prohibition head
quarters he said:

right kind of ancestors and posterity

the grand lodge of the Independent
Order of Good Templars in 1869,
which resulted in the formation OF
the National Prohibition party. lie

Baseball Game.

A game of baseball, the opening
game of the season for the regular
adult local team. was played on the
grounds of the athletic club on Sun
day afternoon last, between the Jack
son boys and team from PIacerville.
The local players won with score of
7 to 6. The playing in the opinion of
those versed in the game, was nothing
to brag about on either side, showing
lack of practice. No doubt the de-
voices will improve as the season ad
vances. We are unable to give the
official score as we are Informed the
club does not keep any official record
of the games, nor even q score book.

Confirmation Service.

On Sunday last confirmation ser
vices we're conducted in st. Patrlck's
church of this city, by Bishop Grace,
assisted by Rev. Father Gleason
srhere was an unusually large class Of
applicants, as the sacrament of con-
firmation is generally held here every
four years, but this time period Of
five years had elapsed since the pre-
vious confirmation. The applicants
we're from IL years of age upward,
and numbered lag. For several
months the work of preparation had
been in progress, in training the
youths for this service. The bishop
was highly pleased with everything
pertaining to the arrangements, and
the resident priests desire to express
their thanks to all who assisted in the
work of preparation.
The names of those confirmed are

MINING NOTES.

Original Amad or-At this property
at Amador City they have commenced
grading for the erection for twenty
stamp mill. After cleaning out the
interested found an ore body of
sufficient size and quality to justify
mill, and so will proceed at once
with the construction of the same.
We remember at the time work was
stopped some 30 years ago. the trou-
BILE was said to be not so much lack
of ore, as the exceeding hardness of
the rock. But the facilities of eco
nomIcal extraction of ore have great
ly improved, and also in other matters
connected with active mining, so
that there is no reasonSwhy the mine,
even what if was claimed at that
time was all true, should not prove
profitable under present conditions.
Alma. Instructions have been re-
ceived from officers of the Alma COM
pany to have certain needed repairs
made around the collar of the shaft.
The timbers have become decayod,
and the work contemplated consists
in replacing the insecure tlmbers, $50
as to make everything safe. 1t was
hoped at first that the move was pre-
liminary to the commencement Of
the reopening of the property, but as
far as we can ascertain nothing of the
kind is contemplated at present. The
repairs will not take more than three
or four days to complete.
Argonaut- The Argonaut mill has
been running the full capacity of 40
stamps for the past three weeks. The
work of laying the foundation for the
large compressor is proceeding as
rapidly as possible. Drifting south
from the $3.50 level Is being pushed
ahead. The prospects are encourag-
ing for the speedy dawn OF as prosper
Gus an era for this famous mine as
any heretofore enjoyed.

Chas. Ii. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, visited
the local union on Wednesday of last
week, and made an address to the
members. His visit was of no special
significance, and he left Thursday
morning for Angels Camp. He is
travelling for his health as much as
anything else. Mr. Cora. employed as
a organizer by the Western FEEDER
alton, came at the same time as Mr.
Meyer, and is here yet, and will pro-
badly remain for some time. HIS

the main object of his mission to this
part of the mother lode.

picnic in celebration of Italian inde-
pendence at Fullens grove on the first
Sunday IN June are progressing salts
factorily. The base ball game be-
tween the regulars of Jackson, and

elsewhere has been definitely settled;
each side has put up forfeit of $50

cessions for merry go-round and other
amusements Will soon be given out.
Everything promises more attrac-

BATHING SEASON
NEARING ITS END
Funds for Public Beach Run
Out Sooner Than
Anticipated.

Saturday, September II. will mark the
closing of the bathing beach for the sea-
son, unless some public spirited citizen
or citizens come TO the front with an
offer OF 500. which will permit Of the
beach remaining open until the begin
ming OF school. Neither COMMISSIONS
West nor DR.. w. 3. Hudson, superin-
tendent of the beach, however, are in
favor Of issuing an appeal to the public
for funds. If voluntary subscriptions
are offered they will be received. as DR..
Hudson is anxious that the beach shall
remain open as long as possible. in order
TO prevent the small boys from going 20
the river.
COMMISSIONS West sal today that he
will ask for a larger appropriation at
the next session of Congress- and that
IF the money is made Immediately avail
able, improvements viii be made and
the beach will be opened early next
summer.
It's success his year should induce
Congress TO provide more generously
for the institution" said Commissioner
West. With an appropriation of only
$1,000 for Improvements and mainte-
nance. the beach has a the most suc
cessful season in it's history, the credit
for which is entirely due to the super
.intendent, DR.. Hudson"
Hereafter the beach will be open to
women bathers between the hours Of
9 and 10 O'Clock each morning. The
popularity Of the resort among the fair
sex was evidenced last Wednesday by
the presence Of 125 women and girls.
