Look Out For
Destructive Worms.

1t is reported while sowing grain on a
portion of the Krkwood ranch, a sack
OF grain, partially filled, that had been
left in the field over night, was dis
covered the following morning to be
alive with species of bug. Charles
Chapman, who was working there at the
time, called attention to the matter, and
asserted that these bugs developed into
the worms that played much havoc with
the grass last year in many parts of
Amador and adjoining counties. They
came from the ground, which was found
to be full of the devasting larvae. 1t
would be we'll for farmer to be on the
watch for this pest, as, if the premises
are correct, and no effective meaures are
taken to abate the plague while in its
incipiency, the prospect for the grass
crop next summer in many places is
rather slim,

those that find themselves left without
visible means of support in their old age.
| know, and so do you, of good many
worthy people, who have found them
selves in Just such position. = Some of
them still retain their companions,
others are single. Some of them have
little, others have not, but all, or nearly
all, would'rather keep house for them
selves, than 10 go to the hospital. 1t is
much plessanter for one to keep house
than to live in a hospital where a per-

INDECENT poor the small allowance of SIS

the county or state TO give what IT would
cost to buy provisions and clothers and
small house rent if necessary. A

time helped to enrich the state, have
helped develop the resources of the

In Old Mexico.

Steve Angove has received a letter
from w. G. Anderson, who is well
known around Jackson as being in
terested in the New York group of
mines two miles south of here He is
now in Republica. a remote place in
the Sierra Madre range, where it re-
quires eight days travel on the back of
a mule to reach after leaving the

employed at a mine as a sayer and
manager. The mine gives employment
to several hundred MeXicans and nine
or ten whites, and yields 60, 900 ounces
of silver per month. Two or three DAYS
after reaching Mexico he was stung by
a scorpion on the thigh. He felt little
inconvenience from it until several days
when his nose commenced to
swell and trouble him. After this he
experienced a peculiar sensation in the
throat. no doubt the result OF the poison
from the sting. However he managed
to recover without permanent i'll effects.

MINING NOTES.

Kennedy. AT the meeting of stock
holders held in San Francisco lats week,
the same officers of the company were
reelected. Out of 100, 600 shares in
the company over 80, 900 were repre-
scented at the meeting, mainly by proxy.
This shows the confidence OF the Stock
holders in the management of this big
mining property-far the biggest mining
concern that Amador county has pro-
duced in history And the outlook is
very bright for a continuance of pros
perity and dividends. The ore bodies
hold out both in size and quality as
depth is attained. AT the 1900 level
they have cut the hanging wall ledge,
which shows width of or feet of
good ore. Drifting west to cut the foot
wall vein has reached $50 feet, and it is
expected to run $50 feet more be fore
this vein is encountered.
For more than thousand feet this
wonderful mine has been operating two
are known as the hanging and football
veins. Down to a depth of two thou
sand feet from the surface these veins
constituted one ore body. At POO feet,
the two branches began to appear, taking
somewhat different pitch. AT the
lowest level worked they are about three
hunrded feet apart, but showing strong
and well defined Everything indicates
a long life OF gold production for this
famous mine.
Ginocchio. - The purchase of this pro-
perty by Geo. Hambric and others has
been effected Work was started on the
mine. last Monday. The claim is
situated in Murphy's gulch, between the
Valparaiso and the Amador Queen mines,
both of which have been worked mainly
for pockets. No development work to
speak of has been done on the Ginocchio
claim, other than a little gophering on
the surface. 1t is proposed to sink a
shaft, and open the claim up in a
systematic manner Three men are at

We do not think, however that the

secured without any attempt TO swell
the yield by running upon the rich ore

anything in the shape of boosting. We
