Hon. William ]. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.-
Dear Sir: Your letters to us are received,
calling for an extra session Of the legis-
lature, and asking IL we would support a
resolution submitting an amendment TO the
constitution, providing for an initiative
and referendum provision. We inform you
that we will not and that we are not in
favor of an extra session at this time for
the following reasons not now stopping to
discuss the merits or demerits Of such a
system:
This matter was put before the COVER
nor we understand, some time ago, and he
refused to call the extra session. Further
than this, we do not believe that the tax
payers should be compelled to pay the ex-
pense OF an extra session, simply to avoid
presumed embarrassment Of political par
ties, and this it seems Is The main reason
for desiring an extra session.
THE democratic platform, on which we
were elected and the latest national dem
ocratic platform contain no declaration in
| favor of the so-called initiative and ref
erendum system, and these platforms are
supposed to contain the prime principles
| Of the democratic party; and no one man,
we assume, should presume to amend these
| principles, without the consent of the party
| acting in convention.

I'VE were elected members of the lesIs-

dressing the democrats of the nation in
the speech referred to. We Join In the
prayer published on the editorial page of
the World Herald of Omaha yesterday,
which is as follows:
20, Lord, now that everything is COM
ing our way purge every democratic soul
Of hot air and vain glory, and insert large
installments Of common sense in every
democratic cranium, and oh, remember.
Lord, our proneness to make fools of our

we don't get In bad this time"

SENATOR'S REPLY TO BRYAN
Take Exception to Statements of the
Peerless Leader of Democracy.
DO NOT FAVOR EXTRA SESSION
Tell MIR. Bryan I'm Plain words that
lis Plans DO Not Meet with the
Approval of Douglas
County Democrats.

w. j. Bryans latest attempt to drive the
democrats Of Nebraska into his corral,
with Governor Shallenberger as drafted
cowboy, does not make hit with the un-
terrified in Douglas county.
As a matter OF fact. the request for a
special session is regarded as coming in the
nature OF a threat rather than an invita-
ton. Mayor Dahlman is out OF town, but
;%some Of his intimates give the impression
that Mr. Bryan notified the mayor or his
intentions to convoke the legislature, and
so notified others Of his party that IL the
legislature be not called in special session,
and If the initiative and referendum law be
not passed In hurry, he will jump into
the arena with a declaration Of personal
devotion to the county local option cam
paign, no matter who is hurt.
AS good an indication as any, perhaps, OF
the feeling Of the Douglas county dema-
Gratis is contained In a Joint letter framed
by the three democratic senators from this
county, IN reply to Mr.. Bryan's demand
for an extra session Following is the
reply sent to Lincoln by Senators RANSOM

Hand Badly Crushed.

D. R. Anthony, the blacksmith at the
Argonaut mine, met with very painful
accident on Monday last. He was
operating a machine drill sharpener.
While the machine was at a standstill
he was reaching across it to fix some.
thing, at the same time his left hand
was in front of that part of the machine
that delivered the blow In some way
his glove came in contact with the part
that turns on the power, and in an in
slant his hand received the force
of the blow. The member was crushed
badly, the palm being the part mostly af-
fected No bones were broken. He
came to town and had the injury treated
by DR.. Endicott. The accident will dis
able him from work for some weeks.
Mr. Anthony has the sympathy of all in
this latest misfortune, as he has had a
series of accidents in recent years.
Some time ago while visiting in Sacra-
mento, he was struck by street car,
and severely shaken up. He had not
fully recovered from this mshap, when
this latest disablement overlook him.

Homestead Contest.

The case of II. o. Mexican VS. G. C.
Russell was heard in the Sacramento
land Office few days ago. Russell fled
on tract of 100 acres in sections 4 and
5 township 7 range l3. The contestant
alleged that he had never resided upon
the homestead or improved the land in
any manner, although the entry was
made several years ago. The home
steader had abandoned the tract, and re-
moved beyond the county. There was
no appearance on the part of Russell at
the hearing and the officials of the land
Office decided the matter in contestants
favor. After approval by the department
at Washington, the contestant will have
the prior right to file upon the tract in
question.

DrMmmers in Runaway.

Two drummers giving the names of
Arthar ]. Ownes and Robert W. Smith,
representing San Francisco picture
frame company and travelling through
this section, secured a team from
Podesto and Taylor's livery stable and
drove to Pine Grove on a business
venture yesterday. The outcome OF the
trip however proved less successful
than was expected
Tie agents assert that about o. m.
while Ownes was in the act of putting
the bride on the horse, which had
been removed in order that the animal
could eat a dog ran at the beast
frightening it and causing it to run
away.
In dashing to one side the horse
caused Smith, who had been seated in
the buggy to be thrown heavily to the
ground, giving him painful injuries to
his shoulders and hips. The animal
dashed several hundred yards and then
turned into the sidewalk at the Pine
Grove hotel, telescoping the buggy,
between high tree and the hotel porch,
and tearing out one of the porch roof
pillars. The horse escaped injury al
though he fell several times in trying to
clear himself from the wreckage.
Ownes and Smith when seen last night
said they decided to pay the liverymen
$40 as damages, although they declared
the affair to be an unavoidable accident.

The Stockton Independent of March g.,

San Francisco Daiiies
Arrive shortly after Noon.

J. W. Allardyce, the agent Of the San
Francisco Call, was in Jackson the
greater part of the week. He has been
working on a plan to have the daily Call
delivered to subscribers through the
local agent shortly after twelve each
day instead of after five O'Clock on the
arrival of the passenger stage. He has
pressed the scheme to a success, and on
Tuesday last, for the first time, he had
copies of the morning paper of that date
in Jackson before O'Clock. The
papers leave San Francisco by the early
train, and reach Gait in time to connect
with the freight train from that point to
lone, and from lone they are brought
by the freight train over the Amador
Central to Martell, and thence by stage
or livery team to Jackson, reaching here
fully four hours ahead OF the usual time
heretofore. The Call is entitled to the
credit of having blazed the way for this
very important accommodation The
other city dailies will OF course follow
suit as soon as they become aware of
the situation. The general mail will
not reach here any earlier but why this
should continue so We do not know
The transportation of the United States
mails is supposed to be on the fastest
shedule time possible. Still here is a
case where the regular mail service is
beaten four hours in distance of $50
miles, Why cannot the regular mail
matter be scheduled over the same
route?

Suit Against the Sunset
Contract Company.

Last FRIDAY c. H. McKenney, as
receiver Of the Suffer Greek State Bank
filed a complaint against the Sunset
Contract and Supply Company and
others. in the superior court of this
county. The defendant corporation is
the name of the company that figured
in the construction of the lone and
Eastern railroad from lone to Martell.
The complaint sets forth that on Iuly
81, 1907 at Niles, the defendant gave
promissory note for $4,000, PAYABLE 90
days after date, with interest at the rate
OF seven per cent per annum. As COL
lateral security there was transferred TO
the Suffer Greek bank 10000 shares of
the California Pressed Brick Company.
The note was signed by Wilford Dennis
as president rnd A. F. Cook as secre-
tary of the brick company. The Suffer
Bank has held possession of said note
and collateral ever since the 3Otn Of
July, 1907, and no part of the note or
the interest thereon has been paid. On
the I'd of September, 1909, plaintiff paid
an assessment on this pressed brick
stock amounting to $1,000, pursuant TO
an order of the superior court, and a
like sum on the 9th of January this
year.
For second cause of action the de-
PENDANT company executed another pro-
missory note at Suffer Greek, on De-
cember 3, 1907, for $l784.37, with in
terest at 8 per cent per annum, which
note is also held by the Suffer Creek
bank. No part of the principal or in
terest on this note has been paid.
Plaintiff prays judgment against de-
PENDANTS for the principal and interest
due on said notes, also for the sums
paid as assessments on said stock, and
for an order of sale for said stock, and
that the plaintiff be allowed to become
the purchaser at such sale, and for such
other relief as may be deemed Just and
equitable

Relics of Early Days

The Mokelumne Hill correspondent of
the Calaveras Citizen says.
A number Of Young boys of this place
have been running a tunnel into a bank
in the rear of Boch's old stone store on
Center street for the past few days 1t
was small affair, just large enough for
the youngsters to sit upright and work.
When in about twenty feet they UNI
earthed a number of old clay pipes, such
as we're in use some forty odd years
ago. One or two of the clay pipes were
what was known as the old French CLAW
pipe, having a slanting bowl and a stem
about ten inches long. When in a dis
lance Of thirty feet, the bottom of the
tunnel being about ten feet from the top
of the ground they came across some
human bones, cons sting in part of a
couple of ribs, part Of thigh and some
small bones that undoubtedly came from
the foot. Just how the bones came to
be here none of the old settlers seem to
know. However, in the early fifties, a
short distance from where the bones
we're found, stood stone building
known in those days as The John Shear
saloon and dance hall 1t was in this
saloon that the celebrated bandit of
those days, Joaquin Murietta, Jumped
upon table while the saloon and dance
hall was full of people, proclaimed who
he was and defled the officers of the law
to take him, there being constable and
two deputy sheriffs in the place at the
time. imam for breakfast" was a
common thing in those days and it may
be that the bones unearthed are those of
some poor unfortunate who lost his
al at the faro table and then in a fit of
dependency took his own life, or per
haps they are all that is left to tell of
some terrible murder that was COM
mitted over some trivial dispute at the
card table. On the north side of the
Protestant cemetery in this place is
what is known as "Murderers Row, )"
and which contained twenty one graves
of persons who had met violent deaths
in the early history of the place. But
the elements have leveed the little
mounds OF earth and the wooden head
marks have long since decayed till at
the present it remains only for the
old settler to point out the spot where
the victims Of the bullet and dirk very
consigned 10 mother earth. The bones
found by the Youngsters were placed
back in the tunnel and carefully covered
up and the mouth of the tunnel for a
short distance in was caved

MINING NOTES

South Eureka-A dozen or more en-
perts, representing big mining syndi-
cate have been making an exhaustive
examination of this property for several
days, carefully sampling the ore from
every part of the mine. The object is
to lay before the capitalists who are
thinking Of buying the mine correct
statement of the condition of the pro-
perty. 1t is said the Cuggenheims are
the real parties concerned in the pro-
posed deal, and the price set upon the
property is given as two million dollars,
this is mere rumor, lacking yerification.
1t is stated that whether the deal is con-
summated or not the milling capacity
will be increased to sixty stamps. The
additional 20 stamps are already under
good Roadway, and will be pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible.
rgonaut-Last week what seems to
be new ore body was struck in the
1900 level of this mine. 1t was en-
countered north OF the shaft at a point
400 feet from the place where it was
expected to strike the main ledge as
indicated by the ore shoot in the BOO
level. The ore at the lower level shows
a width of % feet, and is of good mill
ing quality. 1t has not been followed,
as the crosscut is being pushed ahead
toward the point where the main ledge
is believed to be- In the level above
the vein is Is feet wide.
Bunker Hill.-The regular monthly
dividend of 5 cents per share was paid
on the 18th, aggregatng $4,000 The
drift at the 1880 level is being extended
as fast as possible, and it is expected to
reach the ledge the latter part of Aril.
Keystone--The superintendent of the
Keystone mine at Amador has been on
visit to San Francisco the past week
Everything at this mine is reported as
very favorable.
Central Eureka-Central Eureka mine
at Suffer Greek still continues sinking
their shaft. This mine expects to find
the ledge which is paying the South
Eureka so we'll on the 27st level.
Miscellaneous-~A report has reached
us that Alex Adams, who has been pros
pecting gravel claim in the vicinity of
Sandy Bar on the Mokelumne river, OPP
posite Aqueduct, has struck pay gravel
at point hitherto unsupported II is
believed to be an ancient river bed
from the bouders and water-worn rocks
encountered, that escaped the miners of
pioneer days. 1t is fully so feet above
the water line of the river, and the dis
covery is regarded as important How
extensive the channel is has not been
determined. According to information
1t is of good paying quality, and water
for Eydrauicing can be got there without
