Correspondence.

Similarity of name has frequently
led persons into confouDding differ
emit companies. There is an Amador
Gold Mining and Milling Co., which
is favorably known about Jackson,
operating at Defender, and there is
an Arizona corporation called the
Amador Gold Mining Co., capitalized
for 50, 900, 600, which is advertising to
be operating the Bay State and Rhetta
mines on the Mother Lode above
Plymouth, where they say their ten
stamp mill is turning out about $50, =
600 worth of ore per month and
promise a monthly dividend. Anna
dor people will draw their own con-
illusions regarding the Arizona cor
poration and wonderful product of
this "ten stamp mill"
A Subscriber.
We have seen copy of a circular
that has been circulated in the east,
far away from the field of operations,
concerning this mining venture. The
Bay State, otherwise called the
khetta, is we'll known throughout
Amador county, especially around
Plymouth, the property being locat.
ed about four miles north of that
town, along the trend of the main
mineral Eelt While .the operations
so far have not come up to the ex-
peota:ions of those who have ventured
their capItael in exploitation, there
is no reason why it should not
eventually prove paying property.
1t is legitimate field for invest
ment. But we hasten to protest
against the grossly exaggerated claims
of the boosting literaturesthat is be-
ing sent out to beguiIe the unwary to
dump their hard earnings in the stock
of this concern, on false premises.
Such literature is not being scattered
in this county, where the claims set
up would quickly be branded as
creations of the Imagination. Amador
county is a good field for honest,
Legitimate mining, and investors in
this business are sure to be greeted
with warm welcome. But that style
of mining that seeks to pull dollars
from the pockets of the public solely
on faxed claims of prospective
dividends is not wanted here. 1t is
detrimental to the mineral develop
ment of tue county. For a ten stamp
mill to turn out $50, UC0 monthly.
would mean an average yield of be-
tween $50 and $40 per ton, an unpre-
cedented average for this rich section
of the mother lode. Ii such an out
put was In progress Amador county
would be wild over the matter. But
as it is nobody seems to be aware of
this wonderful bonanza except the
promoters in the east, who aim to
work the pockets of the gullible
rather than delve into the bowels of
the earth in their quest for wealth.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
It is weak.
You must eat in order TO live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufiic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak 1t needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

hope that the money he has garnered
will keep him in comfort until the sere
and yellow of old age creeps upon him.
las for the possibilities of a Ketch-
el-Johnson bout, it is foolish to regard
the western cowboy as being too small.
No one ever questioned the relative
size, height and reach of Sharkey and
Jeffries when they met. The sailor was
a much smaller man than Ketchel when
that memorable battle with Jeffries
took place in 1899, and yet he gave
the big follow the battle Of his career
and at tho end of rs rounds was still
on his feet. Ketchel is big and strong
enough to cope with Johnson, and
when October rolls around we shall
see whether the first negro heavyweight
Of the world can take a lacing with
suit flinching."

Boxing enthusiasts in Philadelphia
recently had a chance to see JefN1es

authority thought of the exhibition
"There are thousands of people in
this country and doubtless in Europe
who are eager and willing to pay from
so cents to 500 to see James ]. JEFF
fries former champion of the world, In
action. Jeffries has been out of the
ring for five yeats, and when he fought
his contests were confined to either
Coney Island or California, hence the
curiosity to see the big fellow.
IAN enterprising theatrical syndicate
conceived the idea of bringing Jeffr1es
out OF retirement, and seized upon the
idea of a possible bout with Johnson

that when the box Office receipts Wane
he must jolly the public. When he first
started out he was firm in his declara-
ton that he would nevof fight Johnson
or any other man unless he could get
himself in perfect physical condition.
Later. when cornered for an emphatic
statement, Jeffries said: Il will fight
Johnson IF l can get into condition"
And the big fellow is sincere, but that
little "If' is and will be the stumbling
block"
.Rv his own admission, Jeffries has
trained conscientiously for five weeks.
Here IL what he has accomplished. He
skipped the rope forty seconds and
! boxed three rounds with Sam Berger.
The first round lasted one minute and
ten seconds, the second round one
minute and FIVE seconds, and the third
round IS seconds. At the end Jeffries
