Dear Ledger:

We- are enjoying the shortestnights of the year, but it is necessaryto be on the spot to appreciate' theirfullmeaning. At ton in the eveningthe' sun is still shining on the snowypealr of Mt. Dewey. People assembleat church, lecture or concert, and gohome after itis over without any lightexcept that of the sun. One forgetswhenItis time to go tobed. \ Draymen,carpenters, and others, working extratime, only stop when fatigue compelsthorn. Fowls seem actually bewilderedby the strange situation. It la wellworth tho loss of sleep to' enjoy thescene at midnight.- Signs across thestreet are perfectly plain and coarseprint can be read with easel Membersof tho.Camora Club are testing thepower of their instruments.' Suchtwilight as lands nearer the equatorcannot furnish, has beautified the skiessince sunset. Not bright colors, butsoft silvery tints, as If Nature hadspread a filmof daintiest laco over hercholsest painting. The mountainsstand In bold relief, and along theirsides the islands of fog floatingup fromthe bay, soem shimmering Ina gaseoussea. The lightIs partially smothered,except in the west, where may be plain-ly seen the place where the sun disap-peared. ItIs neither day, night nortwilight, but a mingling of all three,forminga scene never to be forgotten.Before the novelty has passed, a trans-formation occurs, the fading light inthe west shares its interest withthe be-ginning of dawnIn tho east, and theclimax of Natures wonders is so en-trancing that the very stars seem, toveiltheir light inawe and admiration.Before two the western mountain tipsare glorified with the banners of dayand Nature' claims the forfeit of thenight entertalnmoht, and forces adesirefor sleep In spite of the fascination of anArctic night scene.

CALAVERAS COUNTY

Chronicle: The Ford mill*at SanAndreas was shut down last Mondayand we understand the run has proved

*very satisfactory. The suspension, weare pleased to say, is only temporary,involving a matter of only throe orfour weeks. D.i -ing this . tirao theshaft and works will be completelyoverhauled and repaired and prepara-tions made for continuous work.

Work on tho Louo Star'mine wassuspended owin^- to their binnjj- minusa blacksmith. T!i-y rosuiuod workSunday morning:.

The Sheep Ranch mino, is located onthe East Belt and has beun ono of thomost productive and steady payingmines in tho Stale, it having! turnedout something-, between $.*S,OOO,OiHV and$4,000,000 since l*i~. It has been de-veloped to a depth of 1200 ft»t and stillgood ore is known to oxi.st on tho bot-tom. It.was opened up by a new com-pany lust year aftor five jWrs of idle-ness. Itis reported that the. resultsfrom the crushing in tho now mill arequite satisfactory to the company.

There are many other promisingproperties in this district still i-omaio-in;jidle ami only awaiting- Mio meansto open and develop them into dividendpaying properties.: The Martha Is tho southern extension

of the Ritter, and withproper develop-ment, It promises to rival the;latterproperty in richness. ItU opened bya crosscut and two drifts which'showthat the average width of the vein isfrom 1J to 7 feet and the ore prospectswellin free gold in some places. Inthe central crosscut there is a 7 foot

.ledge of lowgrade ore. In the-northcut the ledge is 11 feet .wide and wellribboned, prospecting well in fine gold.The south cut shows a ledge 3 feet widewitha narrow vein, resembling that ofthe Ritter, which prospects wellin finegold. Its owners are gettiug ready tostart operations soon and will developthe property to a good extent. \u25a0/-

Prospect: H. S. Dawson and FrancisCutting, President and Secretary ofthe Eagle Gold MiningCompany whosoworks are located near El Dorado,passed through town Wednesday, ontheir return to Stockton. They badbeen up to the mine for several days towitness the final cleanup for the season.This mine which is a gravel proposi-tion, is one of the best paying proper-ties In the county considering theamount of money invested. We didnot learn the result of the last clean-upbut know that heretofore it has paidabout $100 per day for the time.it-wasworked. Work for tho season . hassuspended now on account 'of lack of•water.

The owners of the Golden Gate minesituated near Angels, are looking aftertheir property witha view to extensiveoperations in the near, future. 'Theshaft is already down 75 feet and %therock runs about $11 to the ton, freegold, and $140 in sulphurets,. with* aledge of18 feet. A five stamp mill willbe' erected at once and the necessarymachinery for extensive operations.

H.H.LOOK,Sanitary Inspector for State Board ofHealth-

Itgives me great pleasure to congrat-ulate the officers for thoiripfficjont workInstamping o,ut a disease which seemedso firmlyrooted, and also to the citizensior their hearty support which thoyhave given the health officer and phy-sicians insuppressing tho epidemic.

Inmy opinion people from.other dis-tricts can come and go without fear ofcantracting the disease and commerceresumed without the possibility oispreading the infection:

The quarantine regulations are sothorough that there has been no caseoccurring outside of the members ofthe families actually quarantined, andsince the period of incubation has nowexpired, and as allcases and allsuspectshave been isolated, there can be no ex-tentlon of the disease. Strictest meas-ures of disinfection is and willbe car-ried out in every case, and there can beno danger of distributing the contagionto the neighboring towns,

Afterhaving visited Jaokson thesecond time to inspect ahe quarantineregulations adopted there and also tpinvestigate the conditions as regardsthe smallpox epidemic, Iam pleased tosay that the disease is entirely undercontrol and that there willbe no fur-ther spread of the contagion.

FROM STOCKTON.

Dr. H." H. Look, Sanitary Inspectorfor tho State Board of Health) was InStockton last Monday and while therewas iutorviewed by a reporter of theIndependent. Inspeaking- of the con-dition of things in Jackson, Dr. Looksaid:"The disease is under perfect con-troland there Is not the least dangerof its spreading. There Is no mailsent out of the houses whore there arepatients and no chances are taken onthe disease becoming scattered. Theregulations are exceptionally strict andthe people are obeying them*to aletter."

Under Perfect Control.

This is ono of the most thrillinggrade episodes that ever occurred inthis soction, and that no one was killedis littleshort of a miracle.

Myers was covered with cork bruisesfrom the shoes of his horses, from hisheels to his shoulders, but fortunatelyhe was not hitin the head or doubt-less he would have, received mortal in-juries.' His loss Is fully $200. JackNash told him to take his wagon tothe shop and have it repaired and hewould foot the bill,but that he was notable to make good tholoss ofthe horse.Myers is wellpleased that he escapedwithhis life.,

In the meantime, the runaway teamwhich caused the trouble, camethundering- down the grade, but thedriver, Jack Nash, managed in somemanner to run them into the bank orinto a stone heap and bring- them upwithout any damage except the break-ing of a back -strap. Inexplanation ofthe runaway, Nash said that he wasfixingthe brake when his team startedand he held on to the lines but couldnot reach the brake to set It.

'-,Last* Tuesday •' afternoon about 3o'clock, -Oscar ,Myers was ascendingthe Stony creek, grade with his four-horse wood wagon containing a cordand a quarter of wood for the Oneldamine. \u25a0He had reached a place on thegrade where he had often wondered"what a fellow would do If he met arunaway team,

"and the same thoughts

were inhis mind, when he was amazedto 'see' the' -very catastrophe he hadoften \u25a0\u25a0 imagined

-imminent. . Bearing

down upon him, withan ominous rat-•tle and bang, came four horses, wildwithfright, attached to an empty woodwagon. Ye gods! it was a ticklishmoment and no time for deliberation.The first thought was father to theact. Myers jumped, intending to holdhis leaders well to one side hoping therunaways would somehow pass withoutkillinghis team. But before he reach-ed the leaders they. turned, and with a.rush took the

-back track trampling

Myers under their feet, taking thewheelers with them and actually turn-ing that loaded wagon around withinaspace of twelve foot and with the wholeoutfit ran down the road fully 300yards, where one of the wheelers felland was killed. The other horses,withthe pole and fore wheels of thewagon, ran some distance farther.

What driver on mountain roads,where the grades are often dangerous-ly narrow, who has not often said tohimself, as ho approached a narrow

'stretch "of grade, "This would be afearful- place to meet a runaway team."

A Thrilling Adventure.

Following is an extract from Dr. H.H.Look's report to the State Board ofHealth: "Tho report was read by Sec-rotary Mathews. After reciting thenature and numher ofcases at each oftho three points, Dr. Look's reportstated that the disease had been quar-antined and stamped out at Rio Vistaand Marysville, and that, in Jackson,owing to the effectiveness of the quar-antine, the disease would, disappearwithin three Qr four> weeks. Dr. Lookfound that out of thirty five cases inJackson only one porson had previouslybeen vaccinated."

The sanitary conditions at Nome arevery bad. The • hospital is crowdedalready with typhoid fever patients.Pneumonia is very common too, owingto the ice which underlies the groundonly a few inches down and the raw,damp atmosphere of the coast.

!The company J signed with brought$5,000 worth of miningmachinery andbupplles toNome, their freight amount-ing to over $700. They, like manyother similar companies, expected togot territory on the Nome beach tooporato on, Ibelieve. There is atleast half a million dollars worth ofpumps, engines, boilers, pipe, hose andvarious goldmining devices, lying onthe Nomo beach with little, if any,possibility of findinga workinglocationfor it this seaspn, Very many of themining creeks have been jumped bydesperate Yukoners, and In the townofNome, lots, supposed to be ownedby those occupying them last season,were found to be jumped and claimedand held by some lawless person whenthe former owners returned from tfieoutside world this summer. Were itnot so serious a condition,' it "ould beindeed laughable— the true picture ofNomo as it is in 1900. There areplenty of lawyers in Nome and plentyof would be litigations, but no courtsof equity have as yet been established.Gun arguments are of daily occurrenceand 6 men had been killed during ourstay inNome. There aro only a fewsoldiers at tho MilitaryPost, but thereare 1200 on tho Transport ship,."Rosencranz,

Amore mixed up state of human af-fairs would "bo hard "to imagine thanthe present condition of the multitudeof people now camped on ithe Nomebeach. The marshy "Tundra", notbeing suitable for human habitation,the beach is now so thickly coveredwith tents as to preclude any miningoperations unless one mines hie owndomicile ground. Then, too, the pay-ing portions of the beach werethoroughly worked over last season sothat what remains is but the tailings,which, worked by large plants mightpay when the multitude have left thebeach, but is not possible at present.Men with rockers aro only making ex-penses at best when $hey find room toworkand many don't make their grub.Two ships have landed smallpox atNome, and the morning we sailed, twonew cases of that disease were reportedby the surgeon of the army post, mak-ing13 cases altogether.

We sailed fromSan Francisco on the"Senator" May 14th, callingat SeattleTacoma and Port Towsend. .

On the first of June we entered theice floes ofBehring Sea and for.morethan a week tho "Senator" forced itsway through vast fields of broken ice,from10 to 15 feet thick and extendingas far as the horizon inevery direction.The ice began to close in on us so tightthat it was a difficultmatter to get outagain, and as the supply of coal wasgetting lowthe put back toDutch Harbor in the Aleutian. Islands.After six days we again- made the at-tempt to plough through the icebergsand succeeded in reaching Nome on theevening of the 14th of June, just onemonth out fromSan Francisco.

Paris, Prance, June 25, 1900. jLifeday by day at the Paris Exposi-

tion Is not exciting or sensational, butItIs fullofIncidents. Iwillgive you a.history of one day at the Exposition.Ientered the grounds at half past nineo'clock, and crossing the Alma bridge,went Into the firstopen buildingon theright. Itwas the building devoted tomedical science, hygiene and sanita-tion. Itwas opened for the first timeto-day. The displays of Prance are,of course, the most cohsplouous and inthe vestibule there is a bust of M.Pasteur and a statue of the Goddess ofFame placing a wreath of laurel on bishead. The room Is filledwith glass re-ceptacles containing cultivated germsof many diseases; it Is indeed a grue-some spectacle, this Pandora's Hall ofIsolated deadly microbes, and one feelsglad that they are in hermeticallysealed bottles and that the bottles areincarefully locked glass cases, and thatthese are surrounded withall the steri-lizingparaphernalia and all the cura-tiveagenoles known to science.

After France, the German sectionmay be seen, with a bust In bronze ofDr. Koch and models of sanitary in-stitutions and hospitals. Ihad buthalf an hour for this building,inwhichone might spend a week. Taking theelectric car, Iquickly reached theAmerican Printer's Building, and en-gaged astenographer by whose assist-ance Ihope to increase and improvemy output. Then to the car again,which landed me about half a milefrom the American section of agricul-ture and alimentation. Itis not easyto findanything here; guides are fewand ill-Informed. There are wilder-nesses of exhibits and no landmarks,and unless you are careful not to turnaround, you are likely to be walkingaway fromyour objective as towardIt.Ihad been to this exhibit often before,but never from this direction, and Imust have walked half a mile and got-ten direction and misdirection frompeople of half a dozen nationalitiesbefore Ifound it. Then Idiscoveredthat the gentlemen incharge, who hadpromised me certain data, were oft onthe Jury of Awards. By this time, itwas one o'clock, and Ileft Paris andFrance for half an hour and crossedinto Switzerland for luncheon. TheSwiss village, separated from theWorld's Fair by the width of a street,Is decidedly the most genuine show inParis. Itis a section of Switzerlandmost .cunningly transplanted in theroaring hub-bub and fatiguingsplendorof the Exposition. High precipicesshut out on all sides the dazzling,noisy world you have left, and it iseasy to imagine you are many milesaway fromParis. Abeautiful cascadefalls from the mountain side.* Itis realwater. Itturns the wheel of an oldmilland. flows over stones and amidweeds and wild flowers through thevillage. Chalets are on green patchesabove you and the perspective is soskillfully managed that they appear tobe full size. Workmen are makingactual hay inthe little village to tneleft; here are real cows and goals, alittlechuroh and a dozen restaurants,allclean and picturesque. The logs oi

which the houses are built have beentaken fromsome old houses inSwitzer-land, for not the slightest detail v,

lacking in this most charming, home-likeand restful ensemble. Of course,the Juxtaposition with the roaring citjand the Exposition without, and ttupsychological contrast greatly en-hances the effect, but seriously, thUSwiss villageis about the only thing 1want to take home. No photographbor even paintings can do it justice, forevery step through Its winding streetsbrings toyour view a new and charm-ingperspective. So old, so rural, andrestful is the scene! Isit down underthe portico of a littlevine thatched innwhere fresh butter, bread and coffee,meat, vegetables, cheese and straw-berries are served by a girl in thecostume of her canton, and all for 80cents. ButImust leave this charmingIdyl and go to tho American cornkitchen, which is up three flights ofstairs ina frame annex, the two lowerfloors of which are covered with Mc-Cormlck's harvesters, Buckeye Reap-ers and mowers, and othor farmingmaohinery of American make. Thecorn kitchen amuses me. Itis such aserious fake. Itis expensive, too, toour country,, but "who cares for ex-penses?" Itisthe only free lunch in[France, for they donot do things that'way here. Treating is unknown, 'andthis is wholesale treating. Tho Frenchmale and female, regard it with sus-picion and approach the. lunch counterwith fear.
