PROGRESS OF LODE MINING Peculiar Discoveries In the Central Hill. GOOD WORK BEING DONE IN THE OVER TUNNEL The Water Out of the Mt. Pleasant. Sixty-Horse Power Boiler for Ribbon Rock. CALAVERAS COUNTY Prospect: Mike Rigney of the Ritter mine was in town Monday exhibiting some speciineus of rock from the mine.

What strikes a person at first sight is naturally the richness of the rock and next is its close resemblance to the rich specimen rock of the Shoep Ranch mine. lion specimens from the two mines wore mixed the most experienced miner could not tell which was which. There is no doubt but what the long sought for extension of the Sheep Ram-h has been found. Though about four miles in a direct line from the Sheep Ranch, the Ritter is plainly on the same ledge. Experts who have examined tho Ritter and are familiar with the other say that the formation is identical.

Tho Ritter bids fair to be one of the biggest mines in the county. It is probable that the whole stretch of country between the two mines along the line of the lode will be thoroughly prospected in the near future. E. K. Stevenot has been inspecting the Oriolo mine this week in the interest of the directors.

He will make his report at a meeting of that body in Stockton next week. We understand that the report will bo exceptionally favorable, as there is a largo quantity of good rock in sight in tho mine. Chronicle: Work on the old Central Hill gravel mine is concluded for the water can now be obtained for a continuance until the rainy season sets in. At the last, working, which was of a developing character, a ratber singular bank is left, disclosing a page in the history of this interacting river bed which' differs from any other yot found. Pure sulphur forms on the face of the in fungus-shaped exudations, and the little trickling stream from the bank is highly mineralized, and of an extremely saline nature.

Further along is seen the perfect stump of a tree, rich in wood agate and specimens. Record: -A meeting of the directors of the Lightncr mine was held here last Sunday, there being present Treasurer F. A. Aahn, President of the Santa Clara County Bank of Santa Cruz; Dr. Urquhart of Los Gatos, F.

D. CobbandC. M. Jackson of Stockton, the Eastlands of San Francisco, L. A.

Redmond of Alameda, and F. P. Adams of Stockton. Considerable work was transacted, after which the property was examined and found to be in good condition. The party left Monday for the city.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY New Era: Preparations are being made to work the Donsmore on a larger scale than ever before. A. S. Graham, superintendent of the Esmeralda, is directing extensive development work on a group in the vicinity of the old Riverside mine. At the Vine Spring, near the Densmore, the lower tunnel is being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible.

Up to date developments have been quite satisfactory. Samuel Tyack, of the well-known mining firm of Tyack Parr, and who has been operating in this district for some time past, left Wednesday mornling for Bodie in answer to a telegram that place. He will return to Carters shortly. The usual force continues on the Mountain Lily, at Five-Mile creek. Until recently the mill was kept runling night and day, but owing to the hortage of the water supply the itamps are dropping on half time.

The nine is looking first-class. The Riverside mill is running stoadly. The re-opening of the old mine las resulted in the uncovering of good so reports say, with indications jointing 1 to long underground C.

The only trouble (purely naginary) is that the veteran is worklg in the limestone, a formation that i generally condemned.

Nevertheless 'gold is where you find it," and Kelly i certainly attending to the finding ad with glittering success. Fair progress is being made in the Bver tunnel, on Bald Mountain, the Rm-rock of. lime having already been feet. It is npt thought Biat the belt exceeds 100 feet in width, Hhen a slate formation will be encounjftred. This tunnel will open up for Soping a large section of mining gronnd Which in years past has proven a proliiHfc yielder of pockets.

All the many Munches of gold secured were taken Worn shallow, shafts, but the tunnel permit an entire change in the jwstem of mining, with. every that the Over territory will eventpttlly go on record as a high-class gold EL DORADO COUNTY. I Republican: It is reported from Flat that since the water has en got out of the Mt. Pleasant, the owners Brown Bros. have disvered a large body of good ore that yes them great encouragement.

It said that this ore body was plainly but waa' passed, over by the previous management. The mine was sold to Brown Bibs, for a trifle considering its record. Some of the machinery that was shipped away by the former company is now brought back to do service again. A large quantity of rails purchased at Oroville was brought here this week for the Kimble mine. A small force is at work in tne mine at present doing development work to open up some new ground and ventilate it, after which breasting will be re-commenced and the mill started.

Nugget: Development workis to be resumed at once at the Gopher-Boulder mine, Kelsey district. The mill will be started this week. The big boiler at the old Blanchard mine on Weaver Creek has been moved to the Ribbon Rock mine on the mother lode, south, of this city. The boiler, which will furnish sixty horse power, will be installed this week. Development work is actively prosecuted at the mine.

-The shaft is now 215 feet in depth and it is said that it will be sunk to the 400 foot mark. The sinking of the incline shaft on the Minnehaha mine, near Logtown, is still continued. -The shaft is now nearly fifty feet in depth, Good ore is being hoisted from the shaft. The shaft at thn T.arkin inn wan down to the 600.ifoot mark yesterday morning. A new station at the' 700 foot mark will be made early next week and a drift started to tap the ledge at that depth.

Tunnel No. 2 at the Hart Consolidated, near Garden Valley, has now boen driven in the mountain side a distance of 170 feet. The owners of the mine expect to tap the ledge this week. Good news comes from the Alpine mine. The incline 'shaft is down 125 feet.

Last week a cross-cut was run, striking a well defined ledge which shows fine The men in charge of the development work are well satisfied with the outlook. At the Angier mine south' of town development work is being pushed forward. The shaft is down about 25 feet, good ore is being taken out and the 2 -stamp mill recently erected for prospecting purposes is doing good work. Should the mine come up to expectations a larger mill of the same make will' be put on the property. Mr.

Smith, the inventor of the mill, returned to San Francisco Wednesday. A large force of men are at work on the Horseshoe Bar gravel mine near Josephine. We are informed that the Little Gem mine near Josephine has suspended operations. Married Oakland. MUs Sadie Wrigglesworth, one of Aukum's fairest belles, and Harry K.

The only demonstration on Sunday, September was a musical concert given on' Main street, in front of the Webb block in the afternoon. The musicale was rendered by a band of three pieces, a cornet, and base and snare drums. Their "holiday selections" were received with applause, and went to add new life in the camp.

The attention of. John Nathan, of Southern fame, was soon drawn to the group of musicians, as he chasse'd down the walk from his place of business. As he came opposite, the dwarf band, he halted, and with somewhat of a military bearing, threw, his hat at the 6un, and and "hoorayed" until his voice squeaked. He then started for home but the strains of Yankee Doodle and Dixie were too enticing and he was soon induced to return. Beneath the arch of the Union Stables he sang the songs he learned in darkest Africa, accompanied by the band.

After the performance Mr. Nathan was taken home in a vehicle from the stable in great style. In the evening, the band, which had been increased to five pieces, made its appearance and discoursed music -to the best of its ability. They gave concerts in nearly every part of town, and did their best to make the people realize that it was the fiftieth anniversary of our -admission to the Union as a State. Thus passed the Ninth of September in Jackson.

'7-7-lm Men's pants for 81.00 at the Red BIG FIRE AT SUTTER CREEK The Total Loss Amounts to Over $50,000.

AN ACCIDENT IN THE NEW EAST KENNEDY SHAFT Loose Powder Scattered on the Ground Is Ignited and Causes a Premature Explosion. At about 11:45 last Friday night a fire broke out just back of Moore's Hotel in Sutter Creek, with extremely disastrous results, a loss of half a hundred thousand of dollars. At the time above stated, the thrilling cry of "Fire! Fire!" startled the residents of Sutter Creek, most of whom were slumbering in their comfortable homes. The streets were soon filled with people and that dreaded shout directed their attention to a bright- glare just back of the Sutter Hotel on Main street, and above which a fluttering, curling column of smoke was finding Its way heavenward. A rush was made in that direction, but before anything could be accomplished the fire, which had started in a barn, had gained considerable headway, and the fierce flames were leaping hither and thither enveloping a quantity of inflamable material.

Quick as were the actions of the people, quicker yet were the fiery tongues of flame, and before many minutes it looked as though the whole town was doomed. The fire department of Sutter Creek was called out but was unable to do much in subduing the flames. The Jackson Fire Company was 'phoned for and responded immediately, and did good work. Over $50,000 worth of property on Main street was destroyed. The Sutter Hotel, with nearly all of its furnishings, the Vicini block, and L.

Katz's residence, including two barns, were consumed. The hotel was insured for $6500 and a mortgage was held on it for $7000. The bar was saved and Mr. Moore will probably start a saloon. The cause of the conflagration was evidently from the burning of an electric fuse in one of the barns.

The current was cut off putting out the lights. The electric lights here all went out. The darkness probably made it much more dangerous in finding exits from the hotel. The fuse in the dining room of the Exchange Hotel also burned, scorching the ceiling some. RESULT OF CARELESSNESS.

An Accident In the New East Shaft of the Kennedy. The recent accident to some miners in the Kennedy new shaft was the result of inexcusable carelessness on the part of the men. An accident happened in the same shaft in May or June of this year which was attributable to the same cause. It is the practice of the man who inserts tho detonators or 'prepares the primers," to place the powder which he cuts out of the end of the Btick in a box and when that box is full to send it below that the powder may be used in the work of blasting. When preparing a round of holes this powder is used, and being loose is scattered about more or less, with the result that the handling of a candle or a lighted fuse sets it on firo.

In the first accident above referred to, the powder in the box was ignited and burned with serious effect. In the accident of a few days ago, the fuses for an entire round of holes were "spitted" and thrown from the workers out to one corner of the shaft, where many of the small particles of powder had become scattered. These were burned and as the hole in which most of the fine powder had been used was not tamped the powder burned down and set off the charge, inflicting injuries on two men. The skip was hanging in the shaft with, two men in It, waiting to go. to the surface, and one on the hanging ladder attached to the 6kip, and the other man just reedy to ascend the ladder.

The men injured were one in the bottom and the one on the ladder, the others being protected by the skip. Fortunately the hole which went off was a back hole and did not break much rock. If it had been a front hole it is possible that the detonation would have set off the other eight or ten holes and killed all the men on the skip. The hole which was set off might have disarranged the bell rope so that the engineer could not get his signal to hoist, or the skip have been displaced so he could not have hoisted the men away from the "spitting" fuse before the deadly power of the detonators' had reached the Giant powder. In either event four corpses would probably have been brought to the surface instead of two frightened and two slightly injured men.

While the constant handling of Giant pqwdor makes men careless in its use, there is no excuse for a carelessness that endangers the lives of fellow workmen and makes widows of their wives, and orphans of their children. DOCUMENTS RECORDED. DEEDS. J. Poalson to Lena Lot 4, block 2, lone; $751).

Stevens and McKinney, who have made the trout in the waters of California and Nevada a study, were in Jackson this week trying to interest the people of Jackson in a fish hatchery at Silver Lake. They- propose to erect the necessary buildings at the lake and properly equip it for hatching purposes this fall so that when the spring opens they will be able to take the spawn and have the fry ready to distribute in the summer. The fish and fishing conditions in the streams of the State are an open book to these men, and after five years experience at Silver Lake they are equipped with all the knowledge necessary to make a success of the proposed fish hatchery. They have letters of recommendation from the State Board of Fish Commissioners for whom they propagated 400,000 fish recently. They attribute the scarcity of fish in our streams to the fact that in the spring when the spawning season arrives the fish go to the shallow streams to find a spawning ground.

After the lapse of the proper number of days the spawn hatches there and the fry make their home in the shallow stream. The advent of the summer heat evaporates the water in the stream and the inevitable result is that the young fish The scientific method of preventing this destruction is to take the spawn from the fish, place it in hatching baskets which in turn are placed in boxes." A stream of cold water is kept running through the boxes and the baskets, which are made of perforated material. The hatching process requires about fifty days. Shortly after the fry hatch they are placed in the lake or stream to be stocked. At the age of two years they grow to a fair size for both sport and the table.

To equip a hatchery requires a building, the sluice boxes, the baskets and a few other necessary appliances, the total cost of which, for use at Silver Lake, Stevens and McKinney place at $170. This amount includes the bare cost of the material placed on the ground, nothing being charged for their labor. Seventy dollars has already been secured and they are now here to raise the balance of $100 which they hope to be able to do in Sutter Creek and Jackson. Members of the Gun Club are interesting themselves in the matter and there seems now to be no reason why the amount should not be raised in a few days in order that they may get their material on the ground and their house built before the snow flies.

Three Thousand Enrollment tt the University of California. University of California, September This year's enrollment at the University of California will go bepond the 3000 mark. In the colleges at Berkeley this year's registration's will be 2300, or 13.5 per cent more than last year. The total number of new students is 704, of whom 60 are graduate students, 110 special students, and 539 freshmen. The entering class of today is 44 per cent larger than that of two years ago.

The total number of students in the colleges at Berkeley in 1885-86 was 250. Ten years ago it was 457. The increase in ton years has been, therefore, from 457 to 2400, or more than 400 per cent. There are mere than nine students now in Berkeley where there was one fifteen years ago. The rapid' growth of the Southern California contingent is most notable.

In 1895-96, only nine per cent of tha students came from the seven counties south of Tehachapi. In 1898-99 this had risen to 12.4 per cent; with the new students of this year, however, the figure is 18.5 per that Is to say, 1894-5 only one student in eleven was from Southern California; among the new students of this year, almost one in five. The number of students from the portions of the State at a considerable distance from Berkeley has grown bo rapidly that the proportion from the citiea about San Francisco bay has greatly decreased. In 1894-5, 67 per cent of the students came from San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley and the bay region; in 1898-99, the proportion had sunk to 59 per cent; and now, among the new students, It has fallen to 41 per cent. Alameda county, which had 40.8 per cent of all the students two years ago, shows only 25 per cent among the intrants.

Two years ago only three per cent of the students came from within the State; of this year's intrants, eight percent. That is to say, despite the fact that the whole number of students has grown 40 per cent in two years, the body of outside students has grown two and one-half times as fast. Taken all together these figures are most significant. Despite the rapid growth of the University, the representation from Southern California grows 50 per cent more rapidly than the University; that from outside California, 200 per cent more rapidly; that from the close neighborhood of the University Oakland, Berkeley and falls more than 40 per cent. This means that the University has become genuinely representative of the entire State, and that it is changing from a local and provincial constituency to a broad and even national standing.

SIXTEEN TO ONE. A Ball Game That Was Deoxdedly One-Sided. Last Sunday afternoon a very uninteresting game of baseball was played on the diamond of the Amador City club by the nine of that place and tho nine of Volcano. The Volcano boys did their opponents up brown, taking advantage of their weak and successfully destroying their strong points. The Amador boys were turned down on every side, making but one run during the whole game.

During the afternoon the mascot of the Amador club was struck in the floating ribs by a ball hot from the bat and at first was thought to be seriously injured. He soon came too, though, and the game was resumed. For a number of years Amador City has maintained a strong baseball club, but Sunday the boys -seemed to have lacked something. The old nine la.
