New Mail Contract

The post Office department is calling
for bids for carrying the mail between
the Central House and Drytown, dis
tance of one mile The former contract
expired in July last, and an effort was
made to establish mai stage line di
rect from Martell to Plymouth, but with
out success. No one was willing to ac-
cept the contract at the price offered So
the department has had to fall back on
the old route of separate contract for
the mile between Drytown and Central
House. The contract is for one year, or
rather until July next, when the mail
contract from Plymouth to Carbondale
will expire. Bibs for this small mail
route will be opened September 18th.

MINING NOTES.

Plymouth Mining Notes. sligh
misunderstanding has ariser i egard to
the operations of the compar working
the Bay State mine. Mr. torrance, the
superintendent, left nearly two weeks
ago, The men have not received their
wages for the last month. 1t is claimed
that the output of the mine was ample to
pay all running expenses, and leave a
balance besides. Mr. Torrance, it is be-
lieved, will straighten out matters when
he returns.
Five men are working at the F. A.
Orr claim, which is located one mile
north of Plymouth, and which has re-
Gently been purchased by capitalists who
are interested in the Kennedy mine.
The work in hand at present is for the
purpose OF determining the right spot to
sink shaft. This quartz property is
considered very promising one, and it
has fallen into the hands of parties who
will no doubt prospect it thoroughly.
Bunker Hll-The cleanup for the
month of August is reported to exceed
that of the preceding month, which was
about SIS, 600. The mill is supplied
mainly from the 1900 and 1900 levels.
There are seams of ore in different parts
of the mine that would be deemed high
grade anywhere, and cause an excite
ment in the mining world. The policy
of the management is to keep these
rich spots in reserve, and draw upon
them so as to maintain the regular
monthly output as near as possible. At
the 1850 level the crosscut has reached
a distance of 275 feet, and it was eX
pected that the ore body at this point
would be reached by the end of the
week. A record was made lately in
crosscutting at this level. Ii was
driven IS feet in six days, working two
machines. two shifts, and five men to
a shift. The crosscut at the 1900 level
will be pushed with all speed as soon as
the ledge is tapped in the level above.

Petitions to Pay Assessment

People of State Of California, VS.
Sutter Greek State Bank-The petition of
c Fl McKenney as acting receiver Of
the Suffer Greek bank, represents that a
part of the assets of the defendant cor
poraton consists of twenty thousand
shares Of the capital stock of the Cali
fornia Pressed Brick Company held as
collateral security by said Sutter Greek
State Bank for the payment of a promis-
sorry note of the Sunset Contract and
Supply Company, dated July 30, 1907,
for the sum of six thouasnd dollars,
with interest at the rate of seven per
cent per annum, and also as security for
the further sum Of S l,784 81 evidenced
by another promissory note by said
Sunset Contract and Supply Company,
dated December %, 1907. That your
petitioner has received a notice from
the secretary of said corporation that at
a meeting of the board of directors of
said corporation held on the 18th day of
July, 1909, an assessment of five cents a
share was levied upon the capital stock
of the corporation, payable Immediately
to the secretary at the Office of the
company at Niles, Alameda county, that
any stock upon which said assemssent
shall remain unpaid on the 3lst day of
August, 1909, will be delinquent and ad-
vertsed for sale at public auction, and
unless payment is made before will
be sold on the 25th September 1909, to
pay the delinquent assessment together
with cost of advertising with expenses
of sale.
That your petition believes it is for
the best interest Of said bank and all
parties connected Herewith that said
assessment be paid as said stock has a
market value of from 20 to IS cents pei
share, and as the only prospect of re-
covering any money on said Sunset
Contract and Supply company notes is
by realizing upon said security,as Sun
set Contract and Supply Company has
no property or funds Wherefore your
petitioner requests instructions from
this honorable court as to what should
be done in the premises with reference
to the payment of said assessment.

An Outrageous Assault.

The Sacramento baseball team that
played with the local team last Sunday
was the noisiest and most turbulent set
that has visited Jackson this season.
Far into the night they kept up their
bachanalian Rawlings, which they want
ed to pass muster with the hayseeds OF
this city as singing.
They doubtless would have continued
the racket much longer but for the fear
that the peace officers might get on the
trail of one or two of the members.
They cut short their discord, and
hurried away. The reason therefor is
this; About half-past ten O'Clock, Joe
Jones, of the Olympus restaurant, was
on his way home, after completing his
days work. In passing Muldoon
residence on Main street, he was grab
bed by one of the Sacramento larkins,
in such a way that his arms we're
pinioned by his side. The assailant, so
Jones says, felt about his pockets, no
doubt to find out if he had any money
about him. Joe had money about him,
but it was not where the hold-up man
was feeling for it, Joe called for him to
quit but the assaulter viciouSly threw
him into the street, tearing his clothing.
He fell in the roadway, which was mud
dy from sprinkling. His hands and
knees were bruised and clothing mussed
up. He was not seriously hurt, but the
attack was Wanton, even if not done
with felonious intent The party thus
attacked is Chinaman, but understands
English above the average of his coun-
| trymen. Joe at once told of the attack to
the city marshal, but no arrest was made
and no effort to hold the offender. The
party auto was hurried out as soon as
possible, and the outfit left for home
Joe has since applied to the authorities
of both city and county to have the man
arrested. He was anxious to swear out
a complaint, but UP to yesterday no ac-
tion had been taken He has meet with
rebuffs, and all sorts of petty excuses
have been retaled to him to dissuade
him from pushing the matter. One OF
the Sacramento fellows offered to pay
the damage to his clothing, but the
offer was declined
Joe is not through with the matter
yet He is determined to see if there
is no protection for Chinaman in this
city and county, and every right-minded
citizen will uphold him in this resolve.
If justice is denied him here, he
talks of appealing to the Chinese consul
in San Francisco for redress He is a
native of China, and it may therefore
assume en- international aspect 1t is
not so much the personal damage he has
suffered, but the principle involved that
gives the incident Importance.

ManZo Appeal Dismissed

Last Saturday county clerk Huberty
received notice from the district court
of appeals that the appeal in the case of
Domenco Manzo, convicted of arson in
setting fire to the Summit hotel on
Suffer hill, had been dismissed, by
stipulation of all parties concerned, the
defendant himself, and his attorney
joining in the request for dismissal.
The judgment of dismissal was rendered
June % last and the remitittur was
issued within 60 days thereafter.
Manzo, after spending many months in
the county Jail awaiting the outcome
of his appeal, got tired Of useless wait
ing, and decided to go to San Quentin.
He was taken there several months ago.
