Prisoners in Jail.

There are six prisoners confined in
the county Jail. One was lodged
therein from lone last Monday to
serve sentence of one hundred days
for misdemeanor. Another Is Riley
Aleck, the Indian, awaiting trial on
charge of beating his wife. Another
jackson Dennis, who is charged with
embezzlement Of the funds of the
Suffer Greek bank, and has been I'M
able to furnish the necessary bonds
for his release on bail. Then there
is the Italian who pulled gun on
I'another in saloon just beyond
Amador City, who has been sentenced
to several months in the county Jail
for simple assault. The other two are
A. Borello and ID. Manzo, who have
been tried and found guilty of arson
in connection with the burning of
the Summit hotel on Suffer hill, and
sentenced to Imprisonment in the
state prison. They are detained in
the county Jail on a writ of probable
cause, pending the result of an appeal
to the appellate court. 1t is over six
months since they we're convicted,
and the commencement of the
sentence will not begin until their
reception in the state prison. So
that in the event of the judgment be-
ing affirmed, they will lose all the
time they have been in the county
Jail. 1t will take at least six months
before a decision of the appellate
court is likely to rendered in these
cases, as statement on appeal has yet
to be settled.

MINING NOTES.

Garibaldi Placer Claim The Carl
baldi placer claim IN Boardman
gulch, near Volcano, is in full opera
ton by hydraulic process. 1t started
up nearly two weeks ago, and has
been running steadily since. This in
the mining ground about which there
has been considerable controversy,
and seems to have escaped the argus
eyed prospectors of early days. BY
an accident its auriferous character
was discovered by the Garibaldi
brothers. OF course the operations
have not progressed tar enough to
tell anything about how it is likely
to yield, still the owners are very
confident about the outcome.
The tremendous rains of the past
month has added immensely to the
flow of water in the mines. At the
Zeila it requires the baling of water
fully one half the time to keep the
water down. At one time the water
rose in the shaft eight or ten feet in
the course of an hour.

NAVAGED BY A WORM.
A Menace to Stockmen.

Stookmen in the valley section are
becoming alarmed on account of a
bug or worm that is attacking the
grass, materially interfering with tn
capacity of the land for grazing pur-
poses. The matter was topic of
discussion at the meeting of the
stockmen's association held in Jack
son last. Tuesday. The ravages of this
pest have so far been confined to the
low lands of jackson and lone valleys
so far as Amador county is concern
ed. The same trouble IS reported
from other counties in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys. 1t
is said that large area has been de-
vastated by the pests to the serious de-
tIiment of the grazing lands. 1t is
thought to be a new insect pest, not
encountered before, or at least to
such an extent as to menace an i'm
portant industry. While the evil Is
principally confined to the valley,
the bug Is slowly invading the foot
hills. 1t has been met with as far up
as the mineral belt. On the Froelich
lands near Martell it has been
noticed. Reports say it is similar IN
appearance to an angle worm. Its
mode of operation is eating the grass,
or attacking the roots so as to greatly
diminish the crop. specimen of
this bug was on exhibition at the
gathering of the stockmen this week.
SO Important is the subject deemed,
that the sample was left with g. l..
Culbert, the president of the associa-
tion, so that it may be sent to
government experts in San Francisco
for critical examination, with a view
OF determining the best method for
its determination. 1t was forwarded
to the authorities this week. and re-
port may be looked for in the course
of two Or three weeks.

Ran Off the Track.

On Wednesday the freight train be-
tween Gait and lone got off the track
at point some twelve miles from
Gait. and two miles from Clay
station. One box Car got astride of
the rails, and caused all the trouble.
There was not wreck, no overturn-
ed car, and no particular damage
done to track or cars. Nevertheless
it involved a great deal of work and
much delay to get the Car righted.
A wrecking train had to be got from
Gait. with all the necessary appli-
ances to lift the displaced car in posi-
tion. This took several hours. The
Jackson stage did not reach it's
destination until midnight-about
seven hours behind time. The mail
was not distributed until the follow
ing morning.

Bob Love Brings Bride to Jackson.

Robert l.. Love, better known to
his many friends here as "Bob"
Love, was a visitor at his mother s
home in this city during several days
of this week. Mr. Love brought with
him his bride, who was Miss Anna
M. Flynn of Oakland, and renamed
from Sunday night to Thursday, re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
acquaintances.
The wedding of Mr. Love and Miss
Flynn took place in Oakland on
January 18th. 1t was quiet affair,
at the parsonage of st. Patrick s
Catholic church, the Rev. Father j.
+. McNalley, pastor of the church,
officiating. Immediately after the
ceremony the newly welded couple
departed on a wedding tour through
the northwest, visiting Vancouver,
Seattle, and Portland. The greater
part of their time was spent in the
latter city, whence they came direct
ly to the home of the groom's mother
in Jackson.
Mr. Loves bride is a very charming
young woman, we'll knowD and
popular in her home city, Oakland.
During the few days which she spent
in jackson she made many friends by
her pleasing manner. Oakland, the
present home of both, will be the
place of residence of Mr. Love and
wife. The groom is cashier of the
Southern Pacific Company in the
Oakland office.

Prehistoric Vegetation.

On the GariEaldi gravel claim near
Volcano, at a depth Of nearly 30 feet.
they came across the trunk of a tree,
and other remnants of vegetation of
prehistoric times, These relics of
forest growth of the distant past were
found III soft deposit of clay and
cement. not in hard bed rock. But
the peculiar feature is that nearer the
surface was lava cap. indicating
that the trees were overwhelmed
prior to the overflow of lava; pro-
baby they were thrown down and
covered up by the very CONFUSION
that caused the deposit of lava.

The Pure Food LAW

Secretary Wilson says: "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines The
aw req uires that the amount of
chloroform, opium. morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Cham berlain IS
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy not only one OF the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general
use. For sale by jackson Drug Store

ColonlstS Rates on
The Southern Pacific.

The Sacramento valley develop
ment association has been notified by
the Southern Pacific Company that
colOnIsts rates will he put into effect
this year. Daily during March and
April, from all eastern points, tickets
will be sold to main line points on
the Southern Pacific IN California.
For instance. the rate from Omaha
will be SO and from Chicago S33
This is So less than the colonists rates
for 1908, and this reduction will
apply on all tickets from all points in
the east to California during this
period.
The large tracts of good land which
are being suhdlvlded and sold in the
Sacramento Valley will need these
settlers. The colonist tickets sold to
the Sacramento valley during 1908
was an increase over previous years,
although the aggregate of colonist
tickets sold to California probably
was not as large as other years on
account of the financial depression in
the east. From the increase in this
movement to the Sacramento valley
it would seem that the colonists are
finding out the many opportunities
that await them here.

Free From Smallpox Again,

DIR. Endicott, county physician,
went over to Drytown on Tuesday,
and released from quarantine the last
of the smallpox patients there The
afflicted one was boy named
Donovan. 1t was one of the worst
cases that has developed 10 that sec
ton. AL of those afflicted with the
complaint recovered speedily. There
is not case of the disease in the
county at present. so far as the health
officer knows. Drytown was the last
place of refuge for this dread plague.
A nun Der of cases occurred in that
village.
Reports are current that newly
married couple from this county,
while on their wedding tour, got as
far as Sacramento, where the groom
was quarantined on account of small
pox, the eruptions having broken
out after he got started on the honey
moon tour We have not been able
to verify the report. The incident
shows the mild character of this once
fearful plague. Often the stricken
one moves about as usual. suffers not
in the least, at the same time carry

variabIy accompany the fully de-
