JACKSON, AMAIMMi COUNTY. CALItfOKNIA, FRIDAY. JUNE 4, 1909.
THOMAS RYAN
APPOINTED RECORDER
After a Lona-Drawn Ont Contest.
Tbe board of supervisors mot Toes
day afternoou in epeaial session call
ed for tbe purpose of electing a
county recorder to till the vacancy
caused by the death of I). A. Patter
son. liefore the meeting time ar
rived, there were half n dozen as
pirants for tbe place; at leant there
were that number mentioned in con
nection with the office. The nntlvo
asplinnts were T. Ryan, X, U. Dlerce,
W. K. MoFarland and George Lucot.
In behalf of Kynn it wan urged that
he had beeu defeated at the last elen
ion atter spending time and money
in tbe canvass on the democratic
side; that he was tbe ioglcal succes
sor. Tbe candidacy of Uierce was
based on claims of the family of tbe
deceased recorder, tbe aspirant beiug
a son-in-law.
Tbe democratic county- committee
met also on Monday, and there was
developed a oleau-cnt opposition to
a contlnuauoe of the policy of the
past in regard to the deputysbip.
According to tbe current reports, tbe
committee were nuanimously in favor
of a male deputy; tbat employes of
county ottloers should be taken from
the voting list. It does not appear
tbat tbe oommittoemen bas any par
ticular individual preference outside
of this principle. But the idea got
abroad tbat Kyau, tbe leading candi
date was not in favor of making any
change, and hence a square issue was
raised.
When tbe time set for the meeting
of tbe supervisors arrived, tbe matter
was still in the air. To endeavor to
reach some conclusion, it was arragu
ed that four members of tbe central
committee should caucus with tbe
four members of the board of super
visors, and settle the question of
supremacy by ballot. This was cer
tainly a novel plan. An elective,
responsible body, pitted against an
appointed committee by tbe democra
tic convention. Tbe arrangement to
tally failed to untie tbe knot of dis
cord. A number of ballots were
taken in secret oa.uoua without result
-a tie voto in each _ instance, the
four siipeivlaors stacking: up \ for
Ryan, aud tbe four committeemen for
George Lucut— the sole issue being
tbe matter of deputysbip. After a
series of indecisive ballots, it was
apparent that neither side would give
way. Thereupon the name of George
Luoot, who was backed by tbe com
mittee, was withdrawn, and the
caucus was at an end.
The board of supervisors was there
upon called together. Thomas Kyau
was nominated by D. A. Eraser, and
A. Grillo nominated Geo. C. Jenn
ings, who was tbe candidate on the
republican ticket at the last election
of reoorder. The roll was called
and Uyan received the four demo
cratic votes of supervisors linrke,
Fraser, Ltagley and Strohm, and
Jennings received one vote, tbat of
Grillo. Ryan was thereupon declar
ed duly appointed recorder of Ama
dor county for the unexpired term.

Assessor Clarence Jarvis
Dangerously Sick.
County Assessor Clarence E. Jnrvis
wna taken dangerously sick ia San
Frnnolsuo the latter part of last week,
tie had been complaining for ovor
a woek befoio going to the city. He
was troubled witb pains in bis legs,
but kept at work in tbe assessot'e
olUoe iv making out assessment lists
up to Tuesday evening of- last weok.
On Wednesday and Thursday he re
mained nt his home ia Sutler Creek,
lioing a grand trustee of tbe N. S.U.
W., he waa notified that a meeting of
the grand- oUioers would be held it)
Han traucisao on Tuesday evening.
So Friday morning ho rose' from bis
slok bed determined to attend the
meeting if possible. It was called for
the purpose of considering," tbe case
o£ (Jims. 11. Turner, the defaulting
ex-secretary of the order. l :On that
morning his friends noticed a change
In bis appearance nnd vpeeob. '. Tbe
left side of his face was drawn,, and
his articulation of words was out of
tbe usual. Evidently there waa
something organically wroug. lie
was soon at the lone depot by bis
deputy, Geo. A. Gordon. He told
him tbat ho would go to tho city if
be felt able to make the trip; if
otherwise, he would stop over at
Stockton. He went on to San Fran
cisco, but his condition was such
that he was unable to attend the
meeting of the grand officers that
evening. Saturday it was nnuouucod
tbat be was suffering from a stroke
of paralysis at tbe Argonaut hotel.
Sunday morning Mrs Jarvis went
down to be with her husband, lie
was removed to tbe home of a friend
in lierkeley. On Wednesday tbe oity
morning papers stated tbat be was' in
a dying condition, and this news was
telephoned here by parties in San
Francisco, and caused much uneasi
ness. Later messages tbe same day
stated that newspaper reports were ex
aggerated, that he was a very sick
man, but was likely to recover. It is
expected tbat be will be well enough ,
to make the journey home next Sun
day.
Tbe precise nature of bis ailment is
not dear. It is the general impres
sion that be bas overworked tilmnaif r
between bis- duties as assessor .and'
looking after his laundry business.
He is a tiroless worker. In tbe flush
of manhood, he was thought to be
in tbe pink of physical health, tie
had worked very hard during tbe past
to weeks, closing up tbe assessment
roll, which should be turned over
two the board ot supervisors next
month.

MINING NOTES.
j Argonaut.— The mill started last
Tuesday to its full capacity of 40
stamps;' and will ran steadily from
now on. All tbe reserves of ore, ax
hansted during the recent Jabor
trouble, have been replenished.
There is no difficulty in getting all
the men needed. In tact, tbe supply
is muoh greater than the demand. It
is tbe same witb all tbe mines here
abouts. Some of tbe mines are run
ning short-handed, as compare witb
the number of employes before tbe
walk-out, but this is not owing to
any shortage of available men.
Under tbe eight hour system now In
vogue tbe employes get out of tbe
various mines fully half au hour
earlier than under tbe system that
prevailed prior to May 'Jth.
. Defender.— At this mine - tbey are
getting their cyanide plant iv run
ning order, and expects to be able
to start tbe same in a few days.
This plant is desigued for tbe
treatment of tbe tailings, which have
been saved in large quantities.
These tailings assay about $2 per ton,
and if,75 per cent of this value can be
'recovered by cyanide process, the
plant will pay a haudsomo profit.
Tests have been made by experts, and
all icports are encouraging, and to
tbe effect that it will prove remmera
tlve. It Is estimated that over 500U
tons of debris await treatment. Tbe
mine and mill are not operating, as
it is intohded to install electric
power, which ia much more eco
nomioal than steam. Witb these im
provements, and tbe introduction ot
tbe oyanide method, it ia hoped that
tbe mine can be plaoed on a dividend
paying basis.

and others. There was a large attend
ance, notwithstanding tbe day was
oppressively hot and sultry. Most ot
tbe shade trees have been removed
from the cemetery grounds, so there
was no escaping from tbe fierce rays
of the sun. Tbe exercises were lm

Old War Veteran
Dies In County Hospital
Jobn Marti, commonly known as
John Martin, died in tne county
hospital on Tuesday morning last,
after a short iilneßS. Death was due
to extreme age. According to tbe
register be was 90 yaers old, although
some who were intimately acquainted
with him during life, place his age
at 93. He was a settler near Uutte
mountain since early days, having
takeu up a tract of land there, and
made it his home up to within a short
period of bis demise. He lived alone
and during the last few years was
cared for by an allowance from
friends. A week or so before tbe end,
being unable to look after himself,
and without money to hire help, be
was advised to go to the hospital,
which he did willingly. Deceased
was a veteran of tbe Mexican war.
It is a singular coincidence that two
veterans of this war— as far as we
know, tbe only participants iv that
straggle who resided in this section
died within a week of each other.
D. A. Patterson was tbe other
veteran. Martin, however, persist
ently refused to apply for a pension.
For yeara prior to bis death be was
entitled to a pension of 820 per
month at least, witb back pay
stretching for mauy years into tbe
past. Altogether tbe sum be might
have secured in this way, would have
keep him in aUluenoe. liut he would
not apply for relief from the national
treasury. He has no relatives on this
coast, although it is said be ban a
sister in tho east. Another report,
probably without foundation, is to
tbe effect that a considerable sum
of money was buried on his ranob
many years ago, and has Dover been
disturbed. The caobe belonged
partly to a partner of bis early days.
Up to within a short time of bis
death, he declined to reveal anythiug
concerning the buried treasure
would neither iilllrui nor deny tbe
story.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon. He was buried witb all
tbe respects due to a pioneer and a
war veteran. His ranch was deeded
to the linn of K. Uinocohio and
ISi oh., in consideration of that firm
taking who of him in his declining
years, an agreement whlob lias beeu
oouscientiously carried out.
