Both bodies were taken to Sutter Greek and prepared for burial. The funeral of Abondio Gattanini was held under tho auspices of tho Italian Be- nevolent Society, of* which he was an honored member, last Monday. About 10:30 the men wero at work In one of the stopes, repairing the work 6, and timbering. While pro- ceeding thus a large body of rock fifty feet long, ten feet wide and - about twenty feet deep gave way from the roof of the stope. One of the miners, Antonio Baldassari by name, was found at the far end of the cave crushed be- yond recognition. His partner was buried under the mass of rock. Men crawled up the chute leading to tho stope and dug up into the mass. For- tunately they struck the right spot and about 2 o'clock that afternoon the body of Abondlo Gattanini was recov- ered. The flo.or of the stope was of a soft nature, but he too was crushed beyond recognition. He was found in a crouched position, every bone in his body being crushed. The foreman was slightly Injured about the hip and body. Last Saturday morning a fatal acci- dent occurred in the South Eureka mine near Sutter Creek. Two Italian miners wore killed and the foreman Injured. Tho Confidence has got to a point where the pay begins, and the com- pany fully deserves a long season of prosperity for the faith tlfey . have shown in working so long at a loss. The new discoveries In this mine equal, if they do not excel, the showing of early days. A big vein of ore covered all over with sparkling gold promises big. dividends .in the future. After a shutdown for repairs mine and mill will open up on an era of prosperity. Mother Lode: Billy Binghaui has one of tho Gnest prospects in the moun- tain, near 'the Confidence mine, and work is being prosecuted with vigor. A fourteen -foolledge which shows free gold all the way across has been un- cevered. Wm. Fass, the cigar drum- mer, and a Mr. Bowles are interested with Mr. Bingham in tbe claim. Ma- chinery will be put on to facilitate the work of development. The Kodak, on the west side of the north fork of the Tuolumne river and two miles south of Carters, has been se- cured on a bond by a strong San Fran- cisco company from WilliamConnally, and last week work was started up on the property In dead earnest. Across- cut tunnel has been driven 70 feet and in 20 feet more driving a contact with tbe vein will have been effected. The ledge itself is a well defined body of quartz from five to seven feet wide that numerous tests show -will mill from 31G to $20 per ton in free gold. There are about 50 tons of rock already on the dumps and 500 tons in sight in the various old workings. Some time ago Connally sunk a shaft to the depth of 25 feet on the ledge, every foot of the way being, in particularly good ore. The new company is credited with plenty of means. and proposes to ag- gressively prosecute operations. The Kodak bas already proved itself one of the bust prospects in the district, be- fcides bearing every, iudioatiou of perma- nency. \u25a0. At the Pearl, Mr. Tait's good thing in the Confidence district, the main Bhaft will probably reach the 100-foot mark to-morrow, from which point a crosscut will be driven to the rein, a distance of 30 feet, and then drifting and ore extraction will be In order, further sinking In the shaft being con- tinued simultaneously. In the latter working five feet per day can be made. Superintendent Moorhead is concen- trating all efforts at the Dreisam to sinking in the two-compartment shaft. Last night ithad attained a totaldepth of 345 feet. Throughout the mine tbe quartz shows up strong both In quan- tity and quality. to a vigorous underground campaign. Up to datn the mine looks a sure winner. EL DORADO COUNTY. Walter White Badly Injured In An Ariiona Mine. \u25a0 Canyon, July 29, 1900.

The old place has some attraction after all that brings them back, .although some will "never, never be coming back." Well, itis too bad that a good part of the attractiveness might be movable property, and when their belongings in the little lonesome camp is taken, they will never come back. Laura Theresa.

Deceased had liye^ for a number of years abqut (qur mlies out of San An- dreas, and leaves a wife and four chil- dren. He was a native of Germany. Sunday the body was brought to W. E. Kent's undertaking parlors In Jack- son, where It was prepared for burial. The following day the remains were taken to San Andreas, the home of the deceased. The company's physician, Dr. Sim- mons of Sutter Creek, was hastily summoned, and proceeded with all haste to the place where the accident occurred, obtaining a fresh team in Jackson. Dr. Simmons found Beaohl in a critical condition and stayed with him until death relieved the patient of his suffering at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. It was just before quitting time and at one end of the big dam John Beachl and his partner had set off a blast. The effect of the blast was not satisfac- tory as It tore a hole In tho base of the bank without bringing down the whole thing as was expeoted. Beaobi's part- ner got a crowbar and got upon the bank, which was eight feet high, and tried to pry it down. FailingIn this they both began to pick immediately under the bank. They had proceeded thus but a few minutes when tho bank suddenly gave way, falling upon both men. Beachl sustained a broken leg, and was badly crushed In the region of the kidneys, while his partner reoelved only slight Injuries.- Last Saturday there occurred to an employe of the Standard Electric Com- pany an accident that proved fatal.

The great State Fair of 1900 at Sac. ramento will continue two weeks, from September 3d to 15th. Attend this Fair and learn the many resources of the State. Some two weeks ago an Italian miner in some manner dislocated his right shoulder at the Amador King mine near here, but the shoulder was put back in place without the aid of a physician. The shoulder seemed quite weak and was painful for some time. Last Tuesday morning, while at work in the mine, the shoulder was again dislocated. The man was striking a drill and the motion gone through when striking heavily threw the shoulder, which had been weakened by the former dislocation, out of place. The man camo to town and obtained medical attention. Shoulder Dislocated Twice. The Boston and South Dakota Min- ing Company at Michigan BluS are making extensive improvements at their mine. A now boarding house, office, and other necessary buildings have just been completed. The con- struction pf a mill which will contain all modern improvements will com- mence. Tbe latest appliances for ex- tracting gravel will bo Installed. The company has 43 men on the payroll. Wm. Muir is superintendent. — Colfax Sentinel. Work has been entirely suspended at the Esperanza mine, near Garden Val- ley, the property of the Garden Valley Gold Mining Company, and the mine is rapidly filling with water. The com- pany is selling the machinery, with which the mine was splendidly equip- ped, as fast as possible. A number of men are steadily em- ployed at the Clark gravel mine near this city blocking out a large body of gravel. Preparations are being made for the construction of a new mill on this well known property. The work of unwatering the Mt. Pleasant mine near Grizzly Flats, re- cently purchased by Brown Bros, of O'.eta, is still being vigorously prose- cuted. The mine is now free of water to the 600-foot level. Development work at the Alpine gold quartz mine uear Georgetown is being 6teadily prosecuted. The shaft is now over one hundred feet indepth. A new pump was put in the shaft during the week. Nugget: At the Little Gem mine, near Volcanoville, three eight-hour shifts are steadily driving the tunnel ahead on the ledge from the 200-foot level. At the Idaho mine, owned by Varoz- za, Reese & Roelke, the lower tunnel Is In over 300 feet, with100 feet yet to run to "tap the lead. The property gives promise of being a good thing for the fortunate owners. Mountain Democrat: J. H. Bradley, superintendent of the Omo mine, was a visitor in Falrplay a few days ago and Etated that everything about that property was progressing satisfactorily, with a certainty of the ten-stamp mill starting up on the 23d instant. Republican : Mr. Longfield is rapidly pushing the work forward on the tun- nel at the Robin mine. It will be 350 foet long when completed. Andrew Johnson and Robert Atchison have been assisting in the work. To Cavaliore G. Calejjaris. IT/ : San Francisco, Cal. The Italian Colony of Amador county unites with their country-men in San Francisco Inexpressing sentiments of oondolenoe for tragic death of the beloved, Sovereign Umberto, Kinc of, Italy:' \u25a0" Signed, Aw.D. B. Spagnoli, Aw. A Camlnetti, for the Colony, Dated, August 1, 1900, Ameeting of prominent born Italians was held in Hon. D. B. Spagnoli's law offices Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of adopting resolutions express- Ing their sincere sympathy for the groat loss recently sustained by the Italian nation In the death of a beloved king. The following telegram, trans- lated Into English, was sent to C. G. Calegaris, an intimate friend of the de- ceased king, and who in turn handed it to the proper officials of the Italian Benevolent Society in San Francisco: A Message of Condoleuce. During the past week only two new cases of smallpox has been found In Jackson and all of the patients are im- proving. The houses that have been infested with the disease are being fumigated and the occupants are being released upon tho expiration of the time of quarantine, The Health Offi- cer reports everything in a very favor- able cp.nditipii, and in a few weeks the epidemic will bo completely stamped out, Jackson has not "Imposed upon the remainder of the county." Is It any worse for the vehicles of our business men, or families, who have resided In Jackson, and after tho advioe of the Health Officer has been sollolted, and those parties have been declared free from contagion, to leave our town, than for parties from the towns to come to Jackson for a few hours, min- gle with our people and return. Every day since the breaking out of the smallpox we have been visited by peo- ple from our neighboring towns. This is not a well-selected time for a stirring up of the rivalry between our towns, and only makes a bad matter worse. "Are not the people entitled to know the truth of the matter"? Indeed, they are. The various towns of this county have been Informed of the state of affairs in Jackson by the proper au- thorities, and in every Instance their word has been doubted. This Is wrong. The authorities are sworn to truthful- ness and faithfulness in their official capacity, and have given but any infor- mation that has been aaked for. For the benefit of those who are in doubt, an Invitation has been extended to any reputable citizen or physician in the county to come to Jackson and he would be shown every case we have, but no one has taken advantage of It, not even the physicians of our neigh- boring towns. : The recently issued circulars give evidence as to the interest taken in the work by the authorities, and shows that they are making strenuous efforts for the extermination of the disease. If the citizens of our town consider these warnings useless, and do not heed the advice that has been offered, what, then, can be .done? Can our Health Officer or authorities be condemned for the inactivity of the people, and the disinclination of our citizens to take advantage of these simple precautions, when it may possibly bo a matter of life or death? No action Is taken by our authorities that Is not sanctioned by the leading citizens of the commun- ity. People- who have, or who are even suspected of having come in con- tact with smallpox have not been out of town unless the necessary precau- tions have been taken. . All of last week there was but one new case of smallpox reported. There .has been but two deaths, one of which was indirect, there being a complica- tion of diseases, and the other was caused by the patient encountering a draught. In regards to the quarantine meas- ures that have been taken here, every- thing possible has been done to check the spreading of smallpox. Not only have the health officer and the other physicians and authorities done much to stamp out the disease, but the peo- ple have made -unusual efforts toward that end. Dr. H. H. Look, a repre- sentative of the State Board of Health, and one of the ablest experts in the State on smallpox, said that although under great difficulties Jackson has sustained the best quarantine measures he has ever been called to Investigate. It Is not right and It shows Ignorance to criticise the actions of the authori- ties, when we know from personal ob- servation that everything possible has been done, and done promptly. When threatened witha severe epidemic the State Board of Health was notified, and that body was asked to assist us, which they did. The disease has been well in hand since first discovered and most of the new cases have been in houses that are quarantined. Nurses were scarce and relatives were compelled to wait on tho sick ones, thus bringing tho whole family in contact with the disease, consequently there has been several cases In one family ina number of instances. Cues of Smallpox Rapidly Decreasing and Patients Convalescent. \u25a0 Amador county has suffered severely from the many rumors and malicious articles which have been published by certain of our contemporaries, in which Jackson is imposed upon. Ernest Taylor, of the Gwln mine, was declared 111 with smallpox last Monday, but In a very mild form. That morning his mother* Mrs. B. F. Taylor, accompanied by her son, Walter, left for San Francisco, when, after an extended visit, Walter would have proceeded to Hoitt's school at Menlo Park, and resumed his studies on the 6th of this month, but upon being 'notified by telegraph of the sick- ness of Ernest, returned that evening. Smallpox at Gwin Mine. -. For further particulars see their ad- vertisement elsewhere In this Issue.

The funeral took place yesterday in Saa Francisco at 1:30 o'clock from the hall of the Austrian Military and Be- nevolent Association. Interment at Laurel Hill cemetery. Deceased came to this country 13 years ago in company with A. Lubi- mar. His parents reside in Austria. After spending a week or two around here with friends, he went to San Ra- fael. It was only sevon weeks ago thst he left here. His health was gradually declining and on July 31st he died. Gagre came to Jackson In the sum- mer of 1897 and accepted a position as a waiter from Supervisor P. Dwyer at the Globe Hotel. He was a first-class waiter and served the hotel in! that ca- pacity for about a year. He then be- came a partner in the Louvre restaur- ant in the Weil and Renno building with A. Lubimar, withwhom he stayed about 18 months. Selling his interest iv the Louvre to Lubimar, he and Ned Taraz bought all Interest In tbe Olym- pus, but the health of Gagre compelled him to retire from business within A few weeks. , Death of Anton Gagre* \u25a0 Mews of the death of Anton Gagre, at San Rafael, formerly of this place, was received by his friends here Wed- nesday. The casket rested upon Iron bars reaching across the grave a foot from the bottom. About eighteen Inches from the top bars were placed across In the same manner. Over these bars was to have been placed a marble slab, but the slab not having arrived in time, a heavy piece of zinc ws,s substi- tuted, which fitted snugly. Upon this , has been placed a layer of concrete, and a slab of marble bearing the customary inscription will soon bo In position. His willprovides 8800 for this wqrk. Andrew Perpvioh, a nephew of the deceased, is the only relative here and Is named ai executor. We are Informed that Stivitch left his nephew $1000. Stivltch was 75 yearß of age and a native of Austria. The grave is seven feet indepth and walls of concrete nearly eighteen inches in thickness, with an equal thickness of concrete on the bottom, lines this pe- culiar sepulchre, Somo time ago he got the idea that ho would design and superintend the construction of his fin^l resting place. He made pj^ns which were carried out to his satisfaction. John Stlvitch, who for half a century had been a resident of Jackson, known to the people iv this commumity as "Big John," passed into eternity last Friday night and was buried Sunday. Tho deceased had been sick a long time, and was expecting death at any time. For fifty years ho had lived hero, and was worth several thousand dollars. His domestic life was simple, and he was very eccentric. Superintended the Construction of His Final Beating Place. FROM PLYMOUTH. A Game of Baseball at Omo Witnessed By a Large Crowd.

Pro>iJeo>.: About live mile* southeast of Valley Spring's, across the Calaverss river, is the Slato Creek mine, owned by Edward Col & Co. There Isa two-stamp mill running ou rich ore and the mill plates can be scon heavily charged with ainul^aui.* The ore is of the same nature as the Koyal mine and the vein can be traced about twelve miles, by the cropping* showing at in- tervals. Along the vein arc the Volo mine, the Alex Brown & Eproson. the Beckley, Tilford, Deau and others until the Royal is reached. The mineralogi- '. Cal character and" geological formation is much the sumo and some of these mines in the future, by good manage- ment and proper facilities for working, may prove as lucrative to the owners as does the Royal. Quite a large force of nun is huw at work on the Ghost mine, which has just been cleared of water. The mine will be put in the best possible shape for working. Work on the Steveuot mine at Chap- . arrel Hill U suspended for the present, and Mr. Stevenot has gone to Mariposa where he is consulting engineer on 'be Persian mine. ..... . Work at the Crostr *bafi is progress- ing favorably. Citizen: Mining news is wry scarce this week, the scarcity of water having compelled a cessation of active opera- tion on many of the gravel mines in this section of the mining 1 region. The mlllB with a good water supply are pounding away with the usual good re- sults. Where mines have been closed \u25a0 down for the summer preparations are being made for the coming winter, and - gome big showings will bo made when the rains again furnish an adequate . water supply. ' Work at the Demurest mine has been closed down on account of a scarcity of water. Operations will be resumed as soon as the rains come again. - At the Grand View gravel mine near Angels a new 50-horse power engine is being put In to run the six ami ten- inch pumps, a large flow of water hav- ing been recently struck. More prospecting than for a long time past is being done in the vicinity of Valleclto at the present time. . Most of it is of a substantial nature and good ""results will no doubt follow. In the Angels mine below the 700 level last week some very rich rock was \u25a0truck as the work of sinking was going on. The ledge is 18 inches In width, sod the ore was 10 rich that it was packed Inboxes on the spot. A crosscut in the Martha mine at . Angels shows the vein to be from one and a half to seven feet in width, with much free gold in the central crosscut. The north cut is eighteen inches and •hows much gold. The ledge is three feet In width in the south. The owners are developing as fast as possible. Fourteen men are employed at the Oriole mine, at Angels, and the new rock is very satisfactory to the owners. Crosscutting is going on at the 400 level and at the same time a station is being cut at the 300 level. Chronicle: The Eudora mine situ- ated near the West Point bridge and owned by George J. Conprdon is making a good showing as the work of develop- ment progresses. The tunnel is in 200 feet and at the end of it a winze is be- ing sunk. The three-foot ledge is nearly all free milling, a portion of it being "shipping. The former has shown a yield of $42 to the ton, the lat- ter 1560. A shipment of the rebellious ore will be made on the 1st prox. Mr. Congdon intends to erect a mill upon the mine in the near future. The Nixon and Tom Sawyer proper- ties, situated just east of West Point and owned by R. W. Nixon and sons, are two of the best properties in West Point district. Considerable develop- ment work has been done and the ore ground in an arastra on the premises. There are two shafts on these proper- ties, one 115 feet and the other 65 feet. The vein runs iu width from one to twenty Inches and the ore is very rich. While some of it can be successfully worked in the arastra, the greater part of it Is "shipping" ore. The owners are pusbiug developments with a view to explore a junction of two veins which Is believed to exist at a certain point and when this is accomplished it is be- lieved that good results will be ob- tained. . The Matrimony mine adjoins the Blazing Star and is owned by J. S. ' Sherman. A tunnel has been run 450 feet to tap the vein and drain the shaft of its water. The vein is of a fair size and the ore will go $100 to the ton—free milling. The Gold Hillmine, located about two and a half miles east of West Point, has a shaft sunk to a depth of 80 feet, showing 'an eight inch lead between well defined walls. The ore is highly mineralized, carrying a good percent- age of galena sulphurets. Selby's re- turns on the ore recently shipped there for reduction, 1 shows that it paid $250 to the ton, and from a quantity gathered up in a hap-hazard way from the dump, oro that had been cast aside as refuse, the yield was 8130 to the ton.

At the close of the performance the police of the noble republic of ' 'Liberty, equality and fraternity" played . the part of henchmen to the sport and cleared the building for the proprie- tors, shutting out the crowd to go hooting and fighting down the ad- jacent streets. The admirers of France as a conservator of liberty and as a na- tion preeminent in refinement as ex- pressed InIts art and its industries will regret that the French authorities have permitted such a performance aa the one last mentioned to take place. It may be answered that America as the home of the prize fight has nothing to. say, but there is a fundamental dif- ference between a bull fight and a prize fight, The latter permits the perfect preservation of tho prlnoiple of fair play; the former violates it ina cow- ardly way, matching an untrained i brute against a. apsen skilled, men., The While the last bull was being killed seventeen ladies fainted and had to be carried out. One wonders why these delicately organized persons were there and why they could find within them- selves no premonition of the brutal character of the performance before they presented themselves at the ampi- theatre. But Paris and the French authorities have this year again consented to pl»£e themselves on the lowest level In the amusement world by permitting and patronizing, real bull fights in the neighborhood of this city. A few days since a most disgraceful series of pro- ceedings took place at Devil. The at- tractive program spread before the audience there included the slaughter of six bulls, in the killing of only one of which there was reported to be any skill. There was an attempt to assassi- nate one of the matadors before the sport began : there were a number of horses disemboweled; there was a free fight in the audience between a man and a woman. When this unfortunate made a quick move, aU the brave Spaniards would ; vault the rear fence Into the passage- way between it and the balcony where the Spanish maidens were supposed to be urging them on with shouts and the waving of fans and shawls. When danger was passed, they sprang gal- lantly baok and stuck a few bradded spears decked with ribbons into the 'houlders of the calf. Finally, since calves are too expenstve to kill for sport every night in Paris, the doors of the stable were opened and with a parting bellow of delight, with tall In the air and scampering hoofs, the calf disap- peared, his tortures over until 10 p. m. the following evening. Then a half dozen burly Spaniards "took their lives in their hands," so to speak, and began to prod this calf about the ring. The anxiety of the animal was always and only .to escape. At one time It would run to the gate, at another, trembling with fright, It would pass back and forth along the Iron barricade fit to he compared with the Paris monumental gateway at the Exposition, and strong enough to hold baok all the wild bulls in the swamps of the Guadalquivir; and this little calf would try to find a place big enough to admit both of its littlehorns at once, bellowing all the while for the meroy of a Parisian audience, In whioh there was a sprinkling of Americans. When at length this number was reached, the excitement of the audience became palpable. The orchestra played the shivery tremulous "Lizzy crossing the ice" music, so known from Uncle Tom's Cabin days. THe curtain was raised and the stage cleared. A half dozen workmen brought In with a great deal of labor heavy Iron posts and planted them firmly across the front of the stag\j. Onto these as supports there were clamped tier on tier of lateral bars, men working from the inside and outside of the fence. This enormous iron' barricade was bolted firmly together and reinforced by stays from the side of the audience. The completed structure was fifteen feet in height, and there was some ex- citement when the last workman left on the outside clambered over the fence to regain the stage. Meanwhile upon the stage a semi-circle of detach- able board fencing was arranged and above this a balcony, where presently a small audience of gaily dressed people took their places. Soon the matadors, one or two mounted, all gaily dressed, marched Into the ring, and after a solemn procession, threw off their extra garments, tossing their gloves and capes to their favorite sweethearts in the balcony. They then with. the au- dience waited with bated breath and painful suspense for the impending con- flict. Presently there was pushed through the doorway onto the stage a gaunt young bellowing calf. This poor innocent, with delicate pink horns just peeping from under the red hair of his forehead, made violent ef- forts to escape back Into bis stall, but presently It was In the ring and the gate was barred behind it.

DEATH RESULTED.

The remains of Antonio Baldassariwere embalmed and retained until thearrival of hi»brother fromColorado.

Both bodies were taken to SutterGreek and prepared for burial. Thefuneral of Abondio Gattanini was heldunder tho auspices of tho ItalianBe-nevolent Society, of* which he was anhonored member, last Monday.

About 10:30 the men wero at workIn one of the stopes, repairing thework6, and timbering. While pro-ceeding thus a large body of rock fiftyfeet long, ten feet wide and - abouttwenty feet deep gave way from theroof of the stope. One of the miners,Antonio Baldassari by name, was foundat the far end of the cave crushed be-yond recognition. His partner wasburied under the mass of rock. Mencrawled up the chute leading to thostope and dug up into the mass. For-tunately they struck the right spotand about 2 o'clock that afternoon thebody of Abondlo Gattanini was recov-ered. The flo.or of the stope was ofa soft nature, but he too was crushedbeyond recognition. He was found ina crouched position, every bone in hisbody being crushed. The foreman wasslightly Injured about the hip andbody.

Last Saturday morning a fatal acci-dent occurred in the South Eurekamine near Sutter Creek. Two Italianminers wore killed and the foremanInjured.

Thereare about 50 tons of rock already on thedumps and 500 tons in sight in thevarious old workings. Some time agoConnally sunk a shaft to the depth of25 feet on the ledge, every foot of theway being, in particularly good ore.The new company is credited withplenty of means. and proposes to ag-gressively prosecute operations.

A Message of Condoleuce.

During the past week only two newcases of smallpox has been found InJackson and allof the patients are im-proving. The houses that have beeninfested with the disease are beingfumigated and the occupants are beingreleased upon tho expiration of thetime ofquarantine, The Health Offi-cer reports everything in a very favor-able cp.nditipii, and in a few weeks theepidemic will bo completely stampedout,

Jackson has not "Imposed upon theremainder of the county." IsIt anyworse for the vehicles of our businessmen, or families, who have resided InJackson, and after tho advioe of theHealth Officer has been sollolted, andthose parties have been declared freefrom contagion, to leave our town,than for parties from the towns tocome to Jackson for a few hours, min-gle withour people and return. Everyday since the breaking out of thesmallpox wehave been visited by peo-ple from our neighboring towns. Thisis not a well-selected time for a stirringup of the rivalry between our towns,and only makes a bad matter worse.

"Are not the people entitled to knowthe truth of the matter"? Indeed,they are. The various towns of thiscounty have been Informed of the stateof affairs inJackson by the proper au-thorities, and in every Instance theirword has been doubted. This Is wrong.The authorities are sworn to truthful-ness and faithfulness in their officialcapacity, and have givenbut any infor-mation that has been aaked for. Forthe benefit of those who are indoubt,an Invitation has been extended to anyreputable citizen or physician in thecounty to come to Jackson and hewould be shown every case we have,but no one has taken advantage of It,not even the physicians of our neigh-boring towns. :

The recently issued circulars giveevidence as to the interest taken in thework by the authorities, and showsthat they are making strenuous effortsfor the extermination of the disease.If the citizens of our town considerthese warnings useless, and do not heedthe advice that has been offered, what,then, can be .done? Can our HealthOfficer or authorities be condemned forthe inactivity of the people, and thedisinclination of our citizens to takeadvantage of these simple precautions,when it may possibly bo a matter oflife or death? No action Is taken byour authorities that Is not sanctionedby the leading citizens of the commun-ity. People- who have, or who areeven suspected of having come in con-tact with smallpox have not been outof town unless the necessary precau-tions have been taken.

. All of last week there was but onenew case of smallpox reported. There.has been but two deaths, one of whichwas indirect, there being a complica-tion of diseases, and the other wascaused by the patient encountering adraught.

Inregards to the quarantine meas-ures that have been taken here, every-thing possible has been done to checkthe spreading of smallpox. Not onlyhave the health officer and the otherphysicians and authorities done muchto stamp out the disease, but the peo-ple have made -unusual efforts towardthat end. Dr.H. H. Look, a repre-sentative of the State Board ofHealth,and one of the ablest experts intheState on smallpox, said that althoughunder great difficulties Jackson hassustained the best quarantine measureshe has ever been called to Investigate.ItIs not right and Itshows Ignorance

to criticise the actions of the authori-ties, when we know from personal ob-servation that everything possible hasbeen done, and done promptly. Whenthreatened witha severe epidemic theState Board ofHealth was notified, andthat body was asked to assist us, whichthey did. The disease has been wellinhand since first discovered and most ofthe new cases have been in housesthat are quarantined. Nurses werescarce and relatives were compelled towait on tho sick ones, thus bringingtho whole family in contact with thedisease, consequently there has beenseveral cases Inone family ina numberof instances.

aume opera turns soon.

Pro>iJeo>.: About live mile* southeastof Valley Spring's, across the Calaverssriver, is the Slato Creek mine, ownedby Edward Col &Co. There Isatwo-stamp millrunning ou rich ore andthe mill plates can be scon heavilycharged with ainul^aui.* The ore is ofthe same nature as the Koyal mine and

the vein can be traced about twelvemiles, by the cropping* showing at in-

tervals. Along the vein arc the Volomine, the Alex Brown & Eproson. theBeckley, Tilford,Deau and others untilthe Royal is reached. The mineralogi-

'. Cal character and" geological formationis much the sumo and some of thesemines in the future, by good manage-ment and proper facilities for working,may prove as lucrative to the owners asdoes the Royal.

Quite a large force of nun is huw at

work on the Ghost mine, which hasjust been cleared of water. The minewillbe put in the best possible shape forworking.

Work on the Steveuot mine at Chap-.arrel HillU suspended for the present,and Mr. Stevenot has gone to Mariposawhere he is consulting engineer on 'bePersian mine. ..... .

Work at the Crostr *bafi is progress-ing favorably.

Citizen: Mining news is wry scarcethis week, the scarcity of water havingcompelled a cessation of active opera-tion on many of the gravel mines inthissection of the mining1 region. ThemlllB with a good water supply arepounding away with the usual good re-sults. Where mines have been closed

\u25a0 down for the summer preparations arebeing made for the coming winter, and- gome big showings willbo made whenthe rains again furnish an adequate

. water supply.'

Work at the Demurest mine has beenclosed down on account of a scarcity ofwater. Operations willbe resumed assoon as the rains come again. -

At the Grand View gravel mine nearAngels a new 50-horse power engine isbeing put In to run the six ami ten-inch pumps, a large flow of water hav-ing been recently struck.

More prospecting than for a longtime past is being done inthe vicinityof Vallecltoat the present time. .Mostofitis of a substantial nature and good

""results willno doubt follow.In the Angels mine below the 700

levellast week some very rich rock was\u25a0truck as the work of sinking was goingon. The ledge is 18 inches In width,sod the ore was 10 rich that it waspacked Inboxes on the spot.

A crosscut in the Martha mine at. Angels shows the vein to be fromoneand a half to seven feet inwidth, withmuch free gold in the central crosscut.The north cut is eighteen inches and•hows much gold. The ledge is threefeet In width in the south. The ownersare developing as fast as possible.

Fourteen men are employed at theOriole mine, at Angels, and the newrock is very satisfactory to the owners.Crosscutting is going on at the 400 leveland at the same time a station is beingcut at the 300 level.

Chronicle: The Eudora mine situ-ated near the West Point bridge andowned by George J. Conprdon is makinga good showing as the work of develop-ment progresses. The tunnel is in 200feet and at the end of ita winze is be-ing sunk. The three-foot ledge isnearly all free milling,a portion of itbeing "shipping. The former hasshown a yield of $42 to the ton, the lat-ter 1560. A shipment of the rebelliousore willbe made on the 1st prox. Mr.Congdon intends to erect a milluponthe mine in the near future.

The Nixon and Tom Sawyer proper-ties, situated just east of West Pointand owned by R. W. Nixon and sons,are two of the best properties in WestPoint district. Considerable develop-ment work has been done and the oreground in an arastra on the premises.There are two shafts on these proper-ties, one 115 feet and the other 65 feet.The vein runs iu width from one totwenty Inches and the ore is very rich.While some of it can be successfullyworked in the arastra, the greater partof it Is "shipping" ore. The ownersare pusbiug developments with a viewto explore a junction of twoveins whichIs believed to exist at a certain pointand when this is accomplished it is be-lieved that good results will be ob-tained.

. The Matrimony mine adjoins theBlazing Star and is owned by J. S.'

Sherman. A tunnel has been run 450feet to tap the vein and drain the shaftof its water. The vein is of a fair sizeand the ore willgo $100 to the ton—freemilling.

The Gold Hillmine, located abouttwo and a half miles east ofWest Point,has a shaft sunk to a depth of 80 feet,showing 'an eight inch lead betweenwell defined walls. The ore is highlymineralized, carrying a good percent-age of galena sulphurets. Selby's re-turns on the ore recently shipped therefor reduction, 1shows that itpaid $250 tothe ton, and from a quantity gatheredup in a hap-hazard way from thedump, oro that had been cast aside asrefuse, the yield was 8130 to the ton.The mine is idle at present, but Fred

At the close of the performance thepolice of the noble republic of

''Liberty,

equality and fraternity" played . thepart of henchmen to the sport andcleared the building for the proprie-tors, shutting out the crowd to gohooting and fighting down the ad-jacent streets. The admirers ofFranceas a conservator of libertyand as a na-tion preeminent in refinement as ex-pressed InIts art and its industries willregret that the French authorities havepermitted such a performance aa theone last mentioned to take place.Itmay be answered that America as

the home of the prize fighthas nothingto. say, but there is a fundamental dif-ference between a bullfightand a prizefight, The latter permits the perfectpreservation of tho prlnoiple of fairplay; the former violates it ina cow-ardly way, matching an untrainedibrute against a. apsen skilled,men., The

While the last bull was being killedseventeen ladies fainted and had to becarried out. One wonders why thesedelicately organized persons were thereand why they could find within them-selves no premonition of the brutalcharacter of the performance beforethey presented themselves at the ampi-theatre.

But Paris and the French authoritieshave this year again consented to plȣethemselves on the lowest level In theamusement world by permitting andpatronizing, real bull fights in theneighborhood of this city. A few dayssince a most disgraceful series of pro-ceedings took place at Devil. The at-tractive program spread before theaudience there included the slaughterof six bulls, in the killingof only oneof which there was reported to be anyskill. There was an attempt to assassi-nate one of the matadors before thesport began : there were a number ofhorses disemboweled; there was a freefight in the audience between a manand a woman.

When this unfortunate made a quickmove, aU the brave Spaniards would;vault the rear fence Into the passage-way between itand the balcony wherethe Spanish maidens were supposed tobe urging them on with shouts and thewaving of fans and shawls. Whendanger was passed, they sprang gal-lantly baok and stuck a few braddedspears decked with ribbons into the'houlders of the calf. Finally, sincecalves are too expenstve tokillfor sportevery night inParis, the doors of thestable were opened and with a partingbellow of delight, with tall In the airand scampering hoofs, the calf disap-peared, his tortures over until10 p. m.the followingevening.

Then a half dozen burly Spaniards"took their lives in their hands," so tospeak, and began to prod this calfabout the ring. The anxiety of theanimal was always and only.to escape.At one time It would run to the gate,at another, trembling with fright, Itwould pass back and forth along theIron barricade fit to he compared withthe Paris monumental gateway at theExposition, and strong enough to holdbaok all the wildbulls inthe swamps ofthe Guadalquivir; and this little calfwould try to finda place big enough toadmit both of its littlehorns at once,bellowingall the while for the meroy ofa Parisian audience, In whioh therewas a sprinkling of Americans.

When at length this number wasreached, the excitement of the audiencebecame palpable. The orchestraplayed the shivery tremulous "Lizzycrossing the ice" music, so known fromUncle Tom's Cabin days. THe curtainwas raised and the stage cleared. Ahalf dozen workmen brought Inwitha great deal of labor heavy Iron postsand planted them firmly across thefront of the stag\j. Onto these assupports there were clamped tier ontier of lateral bars, men working fromthe inside and outside of the fence.This enormous iron' barricade wasbolted firmlytogether and reinforcedby stays fromthe side of the audience.The completed structure was fifteenfeet inheight, and there was some ex-citement when the last workman lefton the outside clambered over thefence to regain the stage. Meanwhileupon the stage a semi-circle of detach-able board fencing was arranged andabove this a balcony, where presentlya small audience of gailydressed peopletook their places. Soon the matadors,one or two mounted, allgaily dressed,marched Into the ring, and after asolemn procession, threw off their extragarments, tossing their gloves andcapes to their favorite sweethearts inthe balcony. They then with.the au-dience waited with bated breath andpainful suspense for the impending con-flict. Presently there was pushedthrough the doorway onto the stage agaunt young bellowing calf. Thispoor innocent, with delicate pinkhorns just peeping from under the redhair of his forehead, made violent ef-forts to escape back Into bis stall, butpresently It was In the ring and thegate was barred behind it.

Paris, Prance, July 9, 1900.A few days ago Ispent an evening at

one of the foremost variety theatres InParis, the Folia Bergere. The pro-gram which began well witha mostbeautiful ballet soon fell back Into theregular succession -of acrobatic per-formances, clowns, soubrettes, and oneact "specialties so familiar to the au-diences of the larger oitles of theUnited States. The climax of the per-formance everyone felt was to liein thebullfight announced welldown towardthe end of the program.
