Relocated the Claim

The decision of the superior court of
this county in the suit OF F. Garibadi
and F. Deyencenzi against the Grille
Bros of Volcano, involving the right
of possession to a valuable placer min
ing claim in Volcano district which
was published in full in the Ledger last
week, created something of a stir, not
only among the parties directly con-
cerned, but also among the many friends
and sympathizers on each side. The
decision was to the effect that neither
party was entitled to relief; that the
title OF both was defective. AS soon
as the decision was known the Grille
side took immediate steps to relocate
the mining claim. The effect of the
decision was to throw the land back to
the United States, open to location
under the mining laws. In less than
two hours after the knowledge of the
judgment was conveyed to the defend
ants, location notices were posted on
the land, claiming the same for placer
mining purposes by the GriIlo brothers.
II is probable that the case will be
appealed to the district court of appeals
by the plaintiffs.
AS soon as the condition of affairs
was realized by the other side to the
controversy they also got move on,
hurrying supplies and material to the
claim. So the matter stands at present

convicted, the jury fixing the punishment

played a prominent part in the case.

Felony Charges Dismissed.

In the justice court of township one
this week the felony cases against Obren
SaYich of Jackson and Jos Trabucca Of
Suffer Creek were dismissed at the re
quest of the district attorney and q
charge of nlsdemeanor substituted in
each case. The cases were similar in
character. Sayich was arrested for an
assault upon a seyenyear old child
named Sophie Cojich in Jackson; and
Trabucca for a like assault upon a minor
child named Louisa Milo in Suffer
Greek. In each case a charge of assault
with intent to commit rape was pre-
ferred--a state prison offense. On Mon
day these cases were dismissed, and a
charge of indescent exposure preferred
instead misdemeanor charges. A plea
OF guilty was entered by each defendant
before Justice A. Goldner. Trabucco
was fined $500 and 90 days in jail with
the option of avoiding Imprisonment by
paying at the rtae of ST for each day
He paid the full amount, $500. Savich
was fined $500 and 80 days in Jail, with
out the alternative of release by cash
payment. He paid the $500, and is serv-
ing out the rest of the sentence. No
testimony was taken in either case; the
sentences were imposed on their simple
pleas of guilty. There is considerable
talk about these cases.

Stung to Death by Yellow Jackets

Ben Fuller of Scottsville lost a COW
and calf in a most singular manner dur
ing the past week One of the COWS
called on Friday in a wooded part of
the ranch. That night it came home and
was fed, and after a short time turned
loose, and naturally returned to the point
where she had left her offspring. The
following evening the cow returned bel
lowing piteously, and evidently in great
distress. An investigation led to the
discovery of the calf dead 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been attacked by swarm of yels
low jackets and literally stung to death.
The carcass was partly devoured by the
pests that were sWarmng thereabouts.
When the COW appeared on the scene the
venomous insects had attacked her so
fiercely as to drive her in agony home.
She died the next day, it is believed
from the stings inflicted by the yellow
jackets. The COW was valued at $40.
In many places yellow jackets are re-
r3rted TO be unusually numerous this
season

MINING NOTES.

Bunker Hili.-The ore body recently
cut at the 1850 level is 10 feet wide,
ten feet of which is good milling rock,
and is being crushed The length of
the ore shoot had not been determined
at last accounts. The walls are smooth
and everything indicates a permanent
ore body. Opening up the ledge on the
1880 level will be prosecuted with all
possible speed 1t is almost a certainty
that such strong ledge will continue
down, and when this is positively as
certained, an addition of 20 :stamps to
the mill-making 40 stamps-will be
! proceeded with at once The first
dividend at the rate of six cents per
share was made on the 18th instant, and
will be continued monthly indefinitely.
This is an increase of one cent per
share per month The 9th consecutive
monthly dividend was paid this month.
We believe there is not another quartz
mine in operation in the state that can
beat this record And this result has
been gained without impairment of the
prospect of future diVidens-that is
without gouging the mine of its richest
ores.
South Eureka The company has
commenced work on an additional
twenty stamps to the mill, which will
make 40 stamps. The mine has been
in addition to its own 20 stamps-using
20 stamps of the Central Eureka mill.
The outlook Of the mine, however in
the judgment of those in charge, justi-
fes the expense of proceeding to enlarge
the milling capacity without further
delay.
Bay State. H. C. Torrance, the
superintendent of this mine, returned
from San Francisco early last week, and
reported that the wages of the employees
and others obligations would be settled.
The mine resumed operations.
Notwithstanding is at standstill
at this mine, above Pine Grove. The
cyanide plant was closed down over
two weeks ago. There are conflicting
reports as to the cause of the shut down.
One report is to the effect that the fish
commissioners ordered it closed on &C
count of the poisoning of the fish in the
Mokelumne river, into which a portion
of the ccyanide impregnated water finds
its way. 1t is claimed that many dead
fish have been found in the river, This,
however, has occurred in other seasons
before the cyanide works were erected.
Another and probably the correct reason,
IS that the method of treatment was not
effective, and failed to give the results
anticipated A certain line of treatment
figured out by laboratory experiments
was mapped out, but on the larger scale
of active working proved unsuitable to
the conditions II is hoped all OBJ
jections and shortcomings will be over
come, and that further testing may
prove remuneratiye.

The San Francisco call., 1909-04-13

The United States government main
tains a meat inspection bureau in this
city. The vigilance of the inspectors
is unsleeping: they are always on the
job; and yet the number of COM
plants which they file with their su-
periors is very small The reason for
this is that the packers of San Fran
cisco regard the reputation which their
firms have acquired too highly TO risk
them by reprehensible or doubtful
methods of doing business. So their
goods are strictly UP to the standard
required of meat packers by the fed
eral government and this fact has had
more than anything else to do with
the continued extension of their busi-
ness and the large profits which they
are annually reaping.
Thousands of men are given en-
ployment in the meat packing estab-
lishments. They receive good wages
and are treated with that fairness
which characterizes the attitude of

of a big enterprise toward the men
whom he employs. The sanitary con-

They are an integral and vastly i'm

In the meat packing establishments
of San. Francisco the money of San
Franciscans is very largely invested.
In San Mateo there are many big plants
which represent eastern and other out
side capital.
Butchertown is a part of this city
which has always possessed great at
fractions for the native born citizen as
well as for the visiting stranger. 1t
is a section of the southern part of the
city entirely or almost entirely devoted
to the slaughtering of cattle. to the
preparation of fresh beef for the mar
ket and to the packing of meat in the
thousand and one forms demanded by
the varying tastes of the meat con-
suming public In Butchertown an i'm

birthday surprise on Mrs. M. F..
Sprlggs, and a grand donation to
their pastor, Rev. w. Spripgs,
Monday evening, March 1st.-
About forty-two persons as semb-
led at the Mission House, and
made their way to the kitchen
where they soon spread a table,
and placed upon it an abundance
of refreshments, such as ice
cream, cake, &c. All enjoyed
themselves very much and re-
turned to their homes leaving
many blessings behind.
