Last Monday a drunken Indian wasgoing around tbe streets in an intoxi-cated condition, stumbling againstladies and children. Sheriff Gregorywent after him and started him out oftown and told himnot to return. Notlong afterward he was informed thatthe Indian was on the street, and tookhim inand put him in jail so that hecould do no harm. Scrapings fromthepipe obtained at the Chinese jointswere found inhis pockets, also an openknife was found on him. The officerswill,no doubt, attempt to locate thesaloon that furnished him withwhiskey.

Asacristy is about to be builtto theCatholic church of Jackson. This willnecessitate an addition of 24 feet to therear of the present building. Planshave been prepared, and the work isexpected to be started at once. Itwasfor this purpose that the recent festi-val was given, which netted about$1200. A sacristy is an ecclesiasticterm used to designate an apartmentwhere the sacred vessels and vestmentsof the church are kept.

Gwin—

This mine paid a dividend of15 cents per share inJune, 1901, amount-ing to $15,000. Ithas paid $85,000 individends this year. Total amount ofdividends to date, $236,500.

Central Eureka—

This company haspaid a total of $20,000 in dividends.The last dividend of five cents pershare was paid in Aprillast..

Argonaut— Sinking operations are inprogress at this mine. The litigationwith tbe Kennedy is not yet termi-nated, but the Argonaut executed abond to indemnify the Kennedy in casethe judgment in favor of the formercompany should be reversed in thecourt of last resort. This result is re-garded as so improbable that tbe Argo-naut concluded to carry the shaft intothe disputed territory, and gave thebond for that purpose.

Peerless— Crosscutting for the ledgeat the 800 level has reached a distanceof 30 feet from the shaft. Itis expect-ed to cut the ledge at 50 feet. Thiscrosscut is being driven west, as thenearest ore body is believed to lie inthat direction. From surface indica-tions, there is quartz to the east, andprospecting in this direction willbe inorder later.

Kennedy—

This company paid a divi-dend of five cents per share for thecurrent month, amounting to $5000.Total dividend paid to date, $1,801,000.

Plymouth Consolidated— The Empireand Pacific mines at Plymouth, ownedfor many years by the Plymouth Con-\u25a0olidated Mining Company, in whichcorporation Alvinza Hayward and W.S. Hobart were the largest stockhold-ers, have come into the possession ofA. Hayward and the Hobart estate.Tbe transfer was made on the 3d inst.,on account of the failure of the com-pany to meet the payments due Hay-ward & Co. It is generally believedthat this transfer willlead to the- earlyresumption of workupon thisproperty.Tbe mines produced an average of160,000 per month for five years. Theywere worked to a depth of 1700 feet,when the firecaused the shut-down.

The proposition of deep mining, nowso popular on account of the develop-ments at other points along the lode,was scouted in those days, But it isvery likely that areas of ore as largeand rich as any heretofore encounteredstill sleep within the confines of thisfamous property. Plymouth . hasreason to expect another revival ofbusiness as the outcome of the changeof ownei-ship of the Empire and Pacificmines. "\u25a0'"\u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0:

Later inthe day an information wasfiledby the District Attorney in theSuperior Court, to which the defendantplead guilty,and was fined $100, whichhe thereupon paid, and was discharged.

The camp at the Telxiaud reservoir,where 200 men are employed in thework ofcompleting the dam under con-tractor A.L.Stone, was the scene ofan exciting scrimmage in the early partof the week. Itappears that two mennamed John Conley and John Herbert,who had been working at the SpringGulch camp, but who had quit, andwere paid off, reached tbe saloon keptby G. D. Calvin about 8 o'clock Sun-day evening. Conley was under theinfluence of drink; bis companion wassober. They asked for something toeat and were directed to the cook houseof the company. Thither they repair-ed, and wanted to know if they couldnot get something to eat, saying theyhad money to pay for it, and showinga $20 gold piece. The Chinese cooktold them it was after supper hour.Thereupon Mr.Hall, the timekeeper,appeared, and wanted to know if theywere employed on the works, andlearning that they werenot, be orderedthem out. . Soon SuperintendentTofflemier came up, and undertook tosettle the matter in his own vigorousway. He got a club—a round stickabout three inches in circumferenceand between two and three feet long,and after a few words, (struck Conleyover the head, knocking him down,and at the same time breaking theclub. He next went after Herbert,striking him a heavy blow over- thehead with the broken clvb

—still an

ugly-looking and dangerous weapon.The blowdazed Herbert, and opened agash in the scalp, from which theblood flowed freely. Herbert hastenedto get away as fast as his conditionwould permit, when Tofflemier, asHerbert says, threw the club after himand chased. him some distance. Conleymade his escape up the ditch. Her-bert came to Jackson. He wascovered with blood when he reach-ed here about two o'clock Monday-morning, and had his wounds dressedby Dr. Endicott. He asked districtattorney Vicinifora warrant for hisassailant but was refused until the of-ficer had investigated the case. Thedistrict attorney went to the reservoirthe same day, and after learning theparticulars from other sources as far ashe could, he decided to issue a warrant.The warrant charges the belligerentsuperintendent with assault with adeadly weapon, and constable Kayserved it upon the accused the sameday. The employes were greatly ex-cited over tbe outrage. The presenceof a resolute leader among them wouldprobably have led to serious results.This is not the first instance of allegedhigh-handed and needlessly harshtreatment. There -Is no doubt thatwith such a large number of men todeal with, composed as they are of allsorts of dispositions, strict disciplineand adherence to rules must be main-tained. The management cannot beblamed for refusing to furnish meals atallhours and for all comers. But thiscan surely be accomplished withoutviolence. •

Tof&emier was taken before Judge'Goldner, Tuesday evening, and admit-ted to bail in the sum of $1000. OnThursday the preliminary examinationwas held. Judge Davis appeared forthe defendant. No testimony was pre-sented on his side. He was held fortrialbefore the Superior Court. He isstill out on bail in the above namedsum. ".. ;

The Board of Education of Amadorcounty has been in session the whole ofthe week, examining applicants forteachers certificates. Nine applicantswere present Monday to be examinedfor primary certificates. The exami-nation for grammar grade certificateswas commenced Thursday. To-daythe board willtake up the matter ofgranting high school certificates.These certificates are issued on creden-tials from a. university or a statenormal school, showing that the appli-cant has passed the pedagogical courserequired to qualify him for teaching.This session of the county board ofeducation is the last under the old lawfor the granting and renewing of cer-tificates. Heretofore the examinationshave been held soini-annually

—inJune

and December. Herafter they willberequired to meet only once a year. Thetime of that meeting has not been fixed.Itis leftfor each county board to fixthe date for the annual examination.

The boom inoil, which a few weeksago promised to bring Amador countywithin its sphere of operations, hascollapsed. A quantity of land in thevicinity of Carbondale was bonded ontbe strength of oil indications. Theexcitement extended to Jackson valley,and a number of farmers were offeredliberal terms for their holdings. Butno one was found to muster up suffici-ent courage or capital to commenceactual boring. Every one waited fortbe other fellow to go to the expense ofproving tbe ground. So- the groundhas remained unproved, although it isclaimed by those wellposted inoilmat-ters, that strong indications exist atseveral points. The Sacramento Newssays:

There was a stormy meeting of theshareholders and promoters ofthe Car-bondale OilCompany in the rooms ofthe Chamber of Commerce on Fridayevening. The issue was as to actionon the adverse report of the expertemployed to pass upon the value of thelands of the company for oil purposes.The expert gave no encouragement inthe matter and on his advice nearly allthe shareholders were inclined to giveup the idea of going to the expense ofboring for oil. Judge Hinkson cham-pioned the cause of those who havefaithin the value of the property andargued strongly infavor of proceedingto bore for oil. Judge Hinkson recitedtbe numerous surface indications of thenearby presence of oil, but after a tvmultuous wrangle be was overruledand the Carbondale company decidedto disband. The promoters includesome of the most prominent men intown. They bonded large areas inthisand Amador county on the strength ofpronounced surface indications. Theresidents of the region bad been obligedto abandon wells and springs becauseof tbe oilflavor of the water, but theexpert refused to consider this testi-mony as proof that oil in payingquantity exists beneath the soil.

The San Francisco papers have beenof late fullof varying accounts of thedeal recently made on the rich groupof gravel mines in Trinity county,commonly known as the Sweepstakegroup. The advertisements ofthe con-tractors forconstruction work on thenew pipe-line, appear in all the citypapers, and this probably started theinquiries on behalf of these papers.The deal was closed the middle of lastmonth. . Just whatthe terms are, it isimpossible to ascertain, as the Sweep-stake is a close corporation, and thebuyers and sellers are not discussingtheir business forpublication. SenatorJohn F. Davis is President of theSweepstake Company, Frank H.Hall,General Manager, and R. J. Andersonrepresents the Philadelphians.

-*As Independence Day approachesand the sign of the fire cracker isabroad intbe land; as the preparationsfor the celebration in Jackson assumedefinite form, and the bright eyes andexpectant faces of our country boysgive warning to us older folks that the"day of days, the day of noise, forstalwart independent boys," willsoon behere, itmakes me think of fourths thatare gone. Not of the good times wit-nessed, but of terror and danger tomany, caused by thoughtlessness. Tobe more definite. Two years ago yourcorrespondent saw a lady's clothes setafire onMain street, by fire crackersthrown on the sidewalk by boys in thestreet. We crushed out the firebeforethe wearer of that fine creation oflawn and lace received bodily injury,but her dress was "disfigured for life."Now, if the lady had worn a light all-woolskirt she would most likely haveescaped allfright and the injury to hergarments. But, better still would ithave been if the exploding of firecrackers ofevery kind had been pro-hibited on the streets and sidewalks ofthe town during the public exercisesand contests. Couldn't the committeegive the boys a vacant lot where theymight fire the festive "cracker" fromdawn till dark, and thus take theinitiativein this beginning of a newcentury, inestablishing a custom forthe comfort and safety of the oldfolks,and ladies who willwear dresses of in-flatnable material when they go to a4th of July celebration. Surely ourgood sheriff would aid the committeein a very material way to banish tbedistressing noise from the streets for apart of the day at least, and thusrender the enjoyment of the literaryprogramme possible to a much greaternumber of people.

The water pipe for sprinkling pur-poses has been all laid from Martell'sstation to a point on tbe lone roadwhere the Cyclone station once stood—a distance of about three or three anda half miles, Itwas expected to havethe entire road traversed by thesprinkling carts this week. The in-tention is to have the sprinkling doneat night. Watering places have beenestablished at easy distances along theroad. Three four-horse teams are ex-pected to do the entire roadway fromJackson to Amador, and fromMartell'sto lone. Two teams will operate be-tween Martell's and lone, and the otherfromJackson to Amador. Itis intend-ed to make only one trip during thetwenty-four hours. The wagons arelarge, and willthrow a heavy streamupon the road, sufficient, itis thought,to lay the dust throughout the day.The price of each team willbe about$150 per month; and the idea is tosprinkle for four months in the year.At this rate itwillcost $1800 per year,to say nothing about the price of wateror the cost of maintenance of pipe line,ditches and tanks.

Neither smallpoxnor any other disease of a contagiousnature has existed here for nearly ayear. Jackson is to-day as healthy atown as can be found inthe state. Anyreports to the contrary haye theirOrlfininpure cussedness.
