A Valuable Invention

Angelo Marcucci and Virgilio Belluo-
mini received a u. S. patent for an inn
provement in a monkey wrench last
Saturday. One would think that the
end has been long ago reached for any
device on tools of that class. Every one
knows that to adjust common wrench
to nut of any size it is necessary to
turn screw thread TO slide the movable
Jaw to the required distance, requiring
little time and some patience. In the
device patented small upright pin is
placed in the handle and with the pres
sure from the thumb releases bar
notched like a saw. That gives the user
a chance to adjust the Jaws to the nut,
and when the pin is released, the
notched block engages with a similar
one etfectualy locking it until change
is desired. While it appears to be and
is a simple mechanical movement, it
has taken both young men six years TO
bring it to its present state of per-
lection. There was no interference in
the patent Office; the application had a
clear field and the patent was granted in
about one month after the application
had been made. A. Marcucci went to
the city Monday in the interest of the
new wrench. He is to have some made
for exhibition purposes and it is their
intention to Immediately place it on the
market and have it manufactured in the
east.

MINING NOTES

Bunker Hill. The north drift at the
1850 level has encountered strong flow
of water, which is considered an in
dication of the proximity OF the main
ore body. Bodies of ore have been
struck on this drift, but not the main
ledge, which is calculated from the
workings above to be some distance
further north. AS soon as the main
ledge is reached, work will be COM
menced in drifting for the ore body at
the 1850 level
mine for last month was over $42, 900,
averaging about Sll50 per stamp. This
is not up to the record of the preceding
month, but is still a very tattering
showing. The stock is said to be held
at over 81 per share.
Argonaut. Cutting station at the
$500 foot level was started early this
week. The mine is moving along very
prosperousv, and the monthly output of
the mill continues to be more than equal
to the payment of the regular dividend
Of 5 cents per share, which calls for a
distribution Of $40, 900 per month to the
stockholders.
Miscellaneous In running pros
pecting tunnel on the old Wiley ranch,
near Aqueduct, quartz ledge said to
be nine feet wide has been struck, the
ore being of good milling quality. John
Strohm and others have been furnishing
the funds for the prospecting operations,
which have been going on for a long
time, the tunnel having reached several
hundred feet in length Indications are
bright for developing paying mine on
this property.

CENSUS MATTERS

The supervisor of census of the sixth
district of California, which includes
Amador county, is gathering informa-
ton relative to the county file says
the last census gave to township No /,
a population Of $3.50, Township 2, l772,
Township 3, 1894, Township a, 2647,
Township 5, l453, He says in deter
mining upon the number of enumera-
tors, it is desirable to have some idea
as to the present population.
In city one enumerator will be able
to take from twenty-five hundred to
thirty-tive hundred names in the month
to which the taking of the census is
limited. In country districts where
farm statistics are also taken, the emu
merator probably will not be able to
handle more than one half that many
names.
In the division of the county he has
given Jackson one enumerator, and to
the remainder of the township one EMU
merator, and to each of the other town
ships except Suffer Greek, one enumer-
ator and to Suffer Greek township az
he has given two enumerators. What
he would particularly like to know is
where would be good dividing line
that would cut Suffer Greek township
in divisions about equal as to the
amount Of work required.
The dividing line should be so clearly
defined as to avoid so for as possible
the danger of enumcrators trenching on
each others territory. A county road, a
creek or river, a hume or ditch line, or
some natural boundary of that kind is
preferable, although of course it is not
always practicable to be obtain such
clearly define lines.
Census supervisors are having diff
Guilty on account of the failure of ap-
plications for positions as enumerators--
that is, those who will do the actual
work of taking the census. Applicants
are required to pass an examination,
which is not serious matter, as any
one with an ordinary common school
education can easily get through.
Applications must be filed with the
supervisor of the district on or before
the 18th instant, and the examination
will be held at Modesto, for this dis
trict, on the 5th of February. Up to a
few days ago only rs applications had
been filed in this district, and fully 80
more will be required for the work.
The census taking must be done in one
month, and the compensation is $50 for
each. No doubt this latter fact is the
reason of the slowness of workers to
come forward. The pay is not a
sufficient inducement in California,
whatever it may be in other states.

ChiIdren Cry
FOR FLETcHER'S
Q a . 7 . RIA
: City Politics.

Candidates for city officers begin to
be talked of, although the election is
three months ahead. Inquiries are be-
ing made as to the method of candidates
securing place on the ticket, as there
is an impression that the direct primary
law changes the situation materially.
For the information of those concerned,
we will state that unless party action is
taken to nominate andidates-which is
unlikely-the primary law does not
affect the situation at ALL If an aspir-
ants wants to run as republican or
democrat. he must circulate petition,
signed by three per cent of the party
voters, to have his name placed on the
primary ticket.
This. petition must be filed at least
fourteen days before the primary cleo
ton, and the primary must be held on
Tuesday at least three weeks preceding
the regular city election. Independent
nominations may be made as heretofore,
by petition of three per cent of the
electors, filed not less than Is days prior
TO the election. Candidates for marshal
and clerk are already cropping up, but
there is no anxiety manifested for the
berths of city trustees.
Have you a weak throat? If so you
cannot begin treatment too early. Each
cold makes you more liable to another

cure. If you will take Chamberlain S
cough remedy at the outset you will
be saved much trouble. Sold by ali
