Hunting Without
A License.

G. d. Calvin, deputy game warden,
on Sunday last arrested man named l..
Cassassa for hunting without license.
He was found with a shotgun and am
munition and four hounds in the fields
in the vicinity of Jackson Gate. The
law, it is claimed, prohibits hunting
with dogs without license. Predatory
animals or birds may be killed without
procuring license, but not with dogs.
Such is the Interpretation placed upon
the game law by the prosecution. Cas-
sassa has decided to stand trial, and
has employed A. Caminett to defend
him. The complaint was sworn to be-
fore A. Goldner, but the time OF trial
has not been fixed An attorney of the
game commissioners is expected to be
here at the trial, and take charge of the
prosecution. No game of any kind was
found in the possession OF Cassassa al
the time of his arrest He is not ac-
cused of killing game without license,
but of hunting with dogs without
license. 1t is this fine distinction thai
imparts interest to the case.

Martin WalIace'S
Disappearance.

The mystery connected with the dis
appearance of Martin Wallace, late
secretary of the California state
miners union, has been somewhat
cleared up, as far as the suspicious OF
foul play are concerned. The secretary
took the books of the organization with
him when he disappeared. An exami-
nation by ]. F. Hutchinson, one of the
officials of the Western Federation. has
revealed a shortage in the funds over
which Martin had charge. A warrant
has been sworn out for the arrest of the
absconder charging him with the
embezzlement of S270. He is suspected
of having taken considerably more than
this amount from the monthly dues
received from the different locals under
his jurisdiction. Wallace disappeared
the latter part of last November and
has not been heard of since. Some are
inclined to believe that he has gone to
South Africa, he having served years
ago as a cavalryman in the British
army. He is about so years Of age.

The New Method
of Assessment.

G. E. Jarvis, assessor Of Amador
county has complied new assessment
method both for field and Office records.
The assessment list this year will be
printed on sheet systematically ar
ranged on one side, and township plat
of 36 sections and the revenue laws on
the other side. This list has been ap- |
proved by the state board Of equalization |
and saves the handling of the pamphlets
system during a term 100000 times,
therefore cutting down the errors that
may arise by transposition or overs ght
to minimum.
The correctness of this system is al
most absolute. For field work dupli
cate file is used, the description of the
taxpayers property is written on the as
sessment lists from the records in the
court house before March lst and
doubled checked, to detect errors, these
lists are alphabetically arranged in the
file, and while the assessor is in the
field he inserts the value of real estate
and Improvements, and all personal
property.
The duplicate file is in the assessors
Office, the deputy who writes the as
sessment rolls arranges the lists as fast
as they are sent into the assessors Office
into this file. and Immediately starts to
write the rolls. AS the Office deputy's
file increases the field file decreases till
all of the lists are sent into the office.
These files are all made into town
ships 1, 2, 5, 4, 5, and inside city of
Jackson which is incorporated. AS each
township is completed the assessor
checks from the file, which is then
bound and labeled township 1, 2, 3, 5,
and city of Jackson, and serves as a
field book for the following year with
the original lists and the signature of
the taxpayer day and date and by whom
the assessment was made. In case OF
transfer rubber stamp is used, showing
to whom the sale was made, day, date
page and number of record book in re-
corder's Office. Thereby giving the as
SCISSOR to all sales, a record in his
office, also to the taxpayer.
This system will give taxpayer OF
anyone an instant reference to any
assessment without asking anyone ir
the Office for information. 1t also gives
the assessors Office duplicate asses.
ment upon completion of the rolls. The
advantages of this method are many.
This year all property sold 5 time:
and decided to the state will be dropped
from the rolls, all transfers of property
are checked up. But the assessor ask:
all taxpayers to look up their deeds anC
patents, to be prepared to check up thei
property so that this system may bt
complete to the minutest detail.
Watch the columns of this paper fo
the assessors S notice next week telling
his dates in the different sections of the
county.

Poor Trapping Season.

Henry Chapman came down from the
mountains last Tuesday. With Willis
Hoss he mas been engaged in trapping
wild animals of the fur-bearing kind
in the vicinity of the old Brannon saw
mill. He reports very poor season in
the trapping business, owing to the su-
perabundance OF snow and the unusual
ly cold winter. The two hunters made
a small margin over expenses. The
snow was four feet deep on the hunting
grounds when he left. Much trouble
was caused by the traps being buried
under the snow, and freezing weather
would convert the snow into solid ice, re-
quiring much labor to dig out the traps.
They managed to catch one tisher-a
valuable fur animal-l2 foxes. 4 wild
cats, and number Of skunks, etc The
season is not over. They were trap
ping over four months. Hoss is a
veteran trapper, spending nearly every
winter in that business. Chapman is
an amateur in this line as compared
with his companion, this being his first
experience in many years.

Six corporations and twenty-one individuals, forming the so-c;slled Meat Trust. were indicted yesterday ir Jersey City by the Grand Jury of Hudson County.
