was served upon him; that in ro
spouse to said order petitioner ap
peared in court with IMh attorney and
opposed tbe application ot suid 1. P.
Allon, who claimed to be tbo owner
of 85 per cent ot its liabilities; that
tbe application of said Allen was
denied, and your petitioner coutinuod
to administer the affairs of said bank.
That on tbo 20th day of June, lUOB,
your potitiouer after petition to this
court and order made authorizing
him to do so, paid tbe second instal
ment ot stute and oounty taxes due
from said bank tor the year 1907-8,
amouutiug to tha sum of 818,16.
That on or about the. 24th day or

day for hearing said petition, but
same was continued at the request of
the depositor's association of Sutter
Creek State Hunk, and said petition
is now pending In this oourt and
undisposed of.
That on the 28th day of September,
1908. petitioner tiled a petition to
authorize him to sell a portion of tbe
real estate belonging to the Sutter
Creek State Hunk, and certain per*
Ftoiiiil properly connected therewith.
That said petition came on regularly
for bearing on tbe 10th day of Goto- ,
ber, 1908, and after bearing, petition
er was authorized -to make said sale.
That in pursuance of ' said order of
sale he caused to be published and

time required by law, due and legal
notices ot tho time aud place of hold
ing said sale. That three bids were
received, aud that of the liank of
Amador County for tbe sum of 82250,
was tbe highest and best bid, and was
aooepted subject to confirmation by
oourt. That on tbo hearing ot return
of sale on the 21st day of November
1908, the bid or said Bank of Amador
County was raised, and tbe court
then auctioned said property off in
open court, and finally accepted the
bid of D. E. Madden of 82900. That
your petitioner thereupon prepared

and executed and delivered a convey
ance thereof to said D. E. Madden.
That on tbe 17th day of October,

190S, after petition and hearing on
same, tho oourt ordered and directed
your petitioner to pay an assessment
of two cents per share on 645 shares
of the capital stock of South Eureka
Mining Conpany.
That on the 21th day of November
1908, after petition therefor and hear
ing on sumo, your petitioner obtained
au order' of oourt directing him to
pay the Amador Reoord, Sutter and
Amador Water Company, Amador
Ledger and Amador Dispatch tor cur
rent bills; that thereupon said bills
were duly paid.
That on tbe Oth day of. February,
1909, after petition tiled and hearing
bad tbereon, petitioner obtained au
order of court ooutlruiinq thn sale of
045 shares of the capital stock of the

That petitioner lias devoted Ms
entire time to tbe performance of bis
duties as such receiver ever since his
appointment and qualification on tbe
28th of May 1908; that a large part of
tbe funds of said bank were "invest
ed" in certain industrial projects in
and about tbo town of Niles, Cali
fornia; that Jackson Dennis, former
president of said bank, wus residing
in Uerkeley, Alameda county; that
many of tbe people Interested iv suid
investments, and owing money to
suid bunk were living iv Sou Fran
cisco, Niles and other places. i'hut
it was therefore, absolutely necessary
that petitioner should, iv order to
recover anything on said investments,
or make collections of uotos, niuku
frequent trips to Sau Frunoisco,
Niles, and other piaooa, to oont'tti
with said Jackson Dennis, and other
interested in tbe bank ulfairs. I'hat
on said trips he succeeded in collect
ing cTiiio from one Kdwurd Kllswortb,
on California Pressed liriolis note,
aud tbe further sum ot 8250 uud inter
est tbereou on a note of Joseph A.
Walker, at Suorumeuto. That all of
the trips from Jackson to Suttor
Crank aud elsewhere, referred to iv
said account, were ueoessury uud for
tho purpose of culluuting usucts ot
the bunk, uud attend ing tv current
biiaiuess. I hat uluims Imvu beon
received from claimants amounting to
more than £87(1.00; that Bovorai claim
uiitn huve demanded payment of their
uluims in full us preforrud oluim9,but
in every iiistauoe your potitiouer huß
refused to pay any hiiuli claims, uud
hud udvlsed all suoti cltiimuuts that
he will not pity their cUlms iv full
until ordered to do by court, i'hut
tbe petition of several of auld cluim
auts are on file uud iieudiug iv tuia
action undisposed of; that your peti
tioner bus doruuuded payment trom
all persona owing money to tbe bunk
to pay tbelr notes ami overdrafts, aud
has used evory endeavor to collect
eutne, and bad also notified all
persons having claims against tbe
bank to present them with the neces
sary vouchers, wbloh has involved a
continuous correspondence with a
large number of people living at a
distance, and said receiver has also
devoted a great deal ot time aud at
tention to rieoessary bookkeeping In
oidont to his duties as such receiver,
and has given all tho information In
his power to depositors and others
Interred In tbe affairs ot said Sutter
Creok Stute liank.
Thnt peittloner is unable to con
tinue longer in tbe discharge of tils
duties as such reneiver, and tenders
his resignation herewith.
Thnt petitioner has advanced all
sumd of money expended by him for
traveling and incidental expenses,
and bus received no compensation for
bis services as such receiver. That he
has needed tbe constant assistance
and advice of an attorney, and for that
purpose bus employed A. Caminetti,
Eaq., of Jacksou, California, who has
served ns bis attorney ever sinoe his
appointment and qualification. That
said attorney has also made- frequent
trips to Sau Francisco and elsewhere
on business connected with the re
ceivership of said Sutter Creek liank;
that nothing has been paid his said
attorney either on account of expense
or attorney fee.
Wherefore said Fred Eudey prays
that a day be appointed for the hear
ing of said account, and that upon
said bearing said account be allowed,
approved aud settled, and that a rea
sonable sum be allowed petitioner
and for his services, rendered herein,
aud a further sum be allowed him to
pay tbe expenses aud charges of his
attorney.

MINING NOTES.
Hunker Hill.— This mint) paid Its
regular monthly dividend of 3 cents
per share on tbe 15tb. They are now
sinking for a sump of about 70 feet
below the level to be opened* on the
1950 foot level. A station will have
to be out at this level, which will
take about three weeks to finish, after
which drifting for tbe ledge at this
depth will be pushed ahead. If the
ore body continues at this depth in
size and quality, which there is every
reason to believe it will do, the en
largement of the milling oapaoity
from '20 to 10 stamps will be in order.
Tbe flow of water has increased
immensely inoldent to tbe heavy
rains. There is about ten times the
normal quantity of water to handle.
Nevertheless tbe machinery is equal
to the task, without involving any stop
page of the mill.
Defender— lt is reported that owing
to the difficulty of securing fuel,
this mine near West Point has been
compelled to suspend, until spring.
It is reported to be looking well as
far as tbe ore product is concerned.
Zeila.— At this mine tup underg
round employes were laid air Tues
day morning,'' on account of the im
mense flow of water. The tanks faave
to be kept going all the time baling
water, and until the water modertes
no work can' be done in tbe extraction
of ore.
