SCHOOL CLOSED
Interesting Exercises at
Sc SSion's End

Last Friday finished the public school
term, and the occasion was fttingly
celebrated in the Jackson schools by
teachers and scholars. Special eXer-
cises were previously prepared by the
different grades, and in the afternoon
the various schools assembled in the
third grade room taught by Mrs Cald-
we'll and the program was delivered.
Supt. Greenhalgh made a very interest
ing address at the conclusion of the
excerises, and was followed by Mr.
Wylie, who is principal Of the Jackson
school Supt. Greenhalgh urged the
boys to make the very best of their op-
portunity of receiving public school
education. He told them of his trip to
the convention of state school superin-
tendents held recently IN Southern Cali
fornina, principally told his school
mates of the small per centage of
scholars who are able to avail them
selves of high school education, and
claiming reports show that about Is out
of every 100 reach the high school from
Jackson, and that only | out of Is enters
college. This he said is a deplorable
condition, as the lack of high school
blights the coming generations that are
reared in this beautiful foothill city.
The following program was delivered
by the first, second and third year
grades;
Song by school, marching, recitation,

Interesting Accounts of
Mines Located In
Amador Co.
Murphy's 6uIch

W. Doyle and partners who are
working portion of the Amador Queen
ground in Murphy's gulch recently
shipped about half ton of black metal
to Selby's for treatment. The ore was
taken from the hanging wall vein,
which has not been worked to any great
extent for pocket mining. The ship
ment was made as test, to ascertain
the value of such rock. This kind Of
metal is very deceiving as to its gold
contents The shipment yielded at the
rate of $50 per ton; which was rather
under its estimated worth. The ore is
found in small strngers of quartz, and
it takes some time to gather together
enough of it to make a shipment. 1t
cannot be treated by mill process. The
three partners in this undertaking are
determined to 60 ahead with the claim.

This grand mine is moving along as
prosper ously as ever, with the outlook
for the future very bright. A few days
ago bunch of exceptionally rich rock
was taken from the $500 level. 1t is re-
ported that 38 sacks we're taken out or
about ton of ore all literally freighted
with gold. This character of ore is en-
countered in several levels, and is
sacked in the presence of guards. AT

on him each day and see that he

sions, for he was in Strengthened

visited Friday noon and vas All

found to have fallen into the cellar
under his shack, where he had lain
for hours, and that his feet, his fin

where he was kept over night. and
brought in to town the next day,

It Was A Good Job

Those living here when the rail
road was being built through this
country no doubt remember
Maurice O. Fitzmaurice, who at
one time represented himself as
being an Episcopal clergyman and
for a short time filled the Episco-
pal pulpit at Chamberlain. 1t did
not take the congregation of the
church long to catch onto him and
after few short months he was
fired from the church. He went
from there to Presho where he had
bunk house" and worked other
side games, got all the money iu
sight and then went up to Stanley
county where he continued his
rascality until things began to get
so warm he left the country. He
went out in Montana, Idaho and
| other western states and we would
hear from him occasionally wheI
he would get into Jail or cut ur
some other dido, but for over &
year he has not been heard from
until the press dispatches from
Spokane, Washington, announced
last week that he had been denied
citizenship. That man Fitzmaurict
is the biggest rascal outside o,
states prison and it seems to be 1
mighty hard job to get hin
there too. He is we'll educated
and seems to know just how far h
can 90 with his rascality withou
being put behind the bars. .-Oa
