From opening to closing the ball wasa success, and reflects great credit onthose who had it incharge.

Many costly gems and elegant balldresses were worn, especially by someof the delegates, and the myriads ofelectric lights threw ,a

'lustre on the

scene that was enchanting. The Jack-son Band furnished the music, and Mr.Batchelder, a member of the band,filledthe difficultposition ofcaller.

The night \u25a0 was'

rather cool for amoonlight dance, but nevertheless theattendance was large, and the dancingcontinued until nearly five o'clock inthe morning, supper being served byFerdinand Mayer, in Love Hall, at12:30 a. m.

Owing to the delay in finishing thework of the Grand Parlor, the grandmarch did not take place until eleveno'clock, but it was a most superb affairwhen itdid materialize. Judge R. C.Rust, Grand President of the GrandParlor N. S. G. W. and Mrs. EmaGett, Grand President of the GrandParlor N.D.G. W., led the brilliantthrong. Next to the leaders were C.B. Arditto,President ofExcelsior Par-lorNo. 31, N.S. G. W. and Miss DaisyV. Llttlefield,President ofUrsula Par-lorNo. 1, N.D. G. W., and then camea gailydressed multitude of ladies andgentlemen until there was no space lefton which to turn. Itwas an inspiringand pleasing sight, and one '

not oftenseen In Interior towns, and probablywillnot be seen here again In manyyears to come, ifever...-.

The grand ball "given by ExcelsiorParlor, N. S. G. W., last Friday nightinhonor of the delegates to the GrandParlor, N.D.G. W.;eclipsed anythingofthe kind ever before attempted inthe county. The dancing

"platform

was one hundred feet square and everyinch of space was needed to accommo-date the dancers.

Irrepressible book agents have de-scended upon 'the Coast In swarms.They are eastern bred and trained,some of them graduates of the bestcolleges inthis country, and not a fewof them are- attorneys-at-law. Thebook business is a profession, and thosewho are adapted to the business makehandsome incomes. They are gentle-men inthe. main, but persistent to adegree. The latest representative ofthe, • profession to visit Jackson is asuave but aggressive youth of twenty-five, a thoroughbred gentleman and acollege graduate. He is a crackerjack.and 'can give the common herd ofbookmen aces and spades and then dothem, j This gentleman's commissionsquite frequently amount to $11,000 ayear, more than he can make practic-inglaw—for he is a lawyer.

Chronicle: A recent crushing inJos. Heinsdorff 's mill of some looseboulders gathered on the side of Cen-tral Hillchannel, yielded $27 per ton.How far these boulders journeyed with

. the tide in the southerly flow for'the

ages passed ere a resting-p lace was/ found, Isa matter yet to bo settled. ' ;

I The fame of the old Central Hillisnot extinguished,' but rests- for; therevelation yet tobe made of the whysand wherefores of its escapade west-ward inthe mysterious depths towardSix Mile. A company con templates'the purchase of the old riverbed and abunt for the lost portion.

Progress on the DeLay tunnel ismost excellent. Several hundred feethave yet tobe run ere the May Daylode, the terminal point, willbepierced.Over 1200 feet of a tunnel have

tbeen

credited to the diligent workers, and itis to be hoped that reward will bemeted out to the company for;the en-ergetic manner of carrying out thegreat undertaking. :

Atthe French Union mine in Poor-man's Gulch, workis being carried onsteadily though not on a veryextensivescale, only four men being employed.The milliskept running about two orthree days in the week on gravel takenfrom the east rimof the channel at adepth of 1700 feet from -

the mouth ofthe tunnel. \u25a0 At that point the gravelIs about six feet in thickness' and; it isallnew ground. The gravel prospectswelland we understand the yield fromthe millingsis very satisfactory. Theproperty, which is under the superin-tendency of Frank Bernardi, Is beingworked in a careful and economicalway.

Prospect: The Ford millstarted upTuesday forenoon, this week, crushingrock fromthe mine*. The mill willbeincharge of H.C. Tyler and John Mc^-Quig, two thoroughly experienced mill-men and we understand that rock fromthe various levels willbe thoroughlytested. The rock taken out lately hasbeen lookingmuch better, and it is ex-pected that good.results willbe shown.

A Rmart Fellow.Tuesday a brilliantchap, represent-

ing an astute firmof Sacramento, ar-rived here en route to Mokelumne Hillwhere he intended to transact businesswitha person who has been dead abouttwo years. The expense of the trip isfully $30. The shrewd firm and keenrepresentative could have ascertainedthe facts by telephone for 50 cents andsaved $29.50. The 'young man did notcomplete the journ.ey, turning backfrom this point, having pumpedenough mountain air into his system togive himthe requisite business vim toinquire about the Mokelumne Hillper-son he had made the expensive journeyto see. Now all this is'preliminary tothe real gist of the stftry. This cuterepresentative of a outer firm, took ex-press pains to state that a person whowould bury himself ina small townlikeJackson would know less every~yearhe remained here, - and much morenonsense of the same sort. In fact herelieved himself, being aided andabetted by another stranger of equalbrilliancy, of considerable worthlesswind. Ifhe and his firmrepresent theaverage shrewdness of the large valleytowns, give us the common sense ofcommon mining camps by heavy odds.

. Whereas, in His infinite wisdom ithas pleased our Divine Master Work-man and Supreme Ruler of the Uni-verse to call from our midst BrotherE. G. Freeman, our Worthy Receiver,

Whereas, ItIs meet and proper thatwe pay a fitting tribute of respect tohis memory, and

Whereas, He was a good citizen, afaithful hushand and father and hadrounded out a well spent lifeof threescore years and ten -before going to hisrest. We shall see him no more. Hiscounsel is hushed in the sleep of death,therefore be it

Resolved, That in the death ofBrother E.G.Freeman, Jackson LodgeNo. 138, Ancient Order of UnitedWorkmen, recognizes the loss of one ofits oldest, truest and most valued mem-bers; a true Workman; a wise coun-sellor and adviser; a constant attend-ant at our meetings; a firm supporterand strict adherent to the principles ofthe Order; and in whose life the fra-ternal lessons taught in our Ritual,together with the lessons of the DivineTeacher, were fully exemplified, andare worthy of our emulation.

Resolved, That we tender our sinceresympathy to the familyof our departedBrother, and commend them to thecare and keeping of Him who doethall things well.-

Resolved, That our Charter bedraped in mourning for a period ofthirty days inrespect of the memoryof our deceased Brother.

Old Home.A Sacramento Heiident Returns to Hia

At noon, Thursday, William Mc-Kinley was nominated for the office ofPresident of the United States by ac-clamation and at 2:02 p. m. of thesame day Theodore Roosevelt wasnominated for Vice-President. Roose-velt received 925 votes, one dele-gate refusing to vote. At each nomi-nation the applause of the vast audi-ence was fairly deafening, the Con-vention givingitself up to the wildestdemonstrations. AllPhiladelphia tookthe furor and the city was one vastnoise allnight. This (Friday) morningthe delegates and visitors are biddingadieu to the Quaker City, every out-going train being crowded.

Senator Lodge and Judge McCallcame Inat the head of the Massachu-setts' delegation, and were greeted byGeneral Harry Bingham.

Senator Allison of lowa was amongearlier arrivals. Among the othermembers of the Senate on the stagewere Hawley of Connecticut, BurrowsofMichigan, Deboe of Kentucky, Cul-lomofIllinoisand Shoup ofIdaho.

Many notable groups could be seenamong the delegates. Immediately infront sat Senator Fairbanks of Indianawith Governor Mount of that Statejust behind him. Governor Shaw oflowa ran over to greet his executivecolleague, and say that Dolliver's flagwas stillflying. Across the aisle Sen-ator Platt waited, while Cornelius N.Bliss was earnestly assuring Mr.Payneas to some controverted point. Mr.Odell sat withMr.Quigg, and all theNew Yorkers kept turning their headsto see when that broad-brimmed som-breromade its appearance. GovernorTaylor ofKentucky came in withGov-ernor Bradley of that State. Justacross was Senator Foraker, with hishair tossed, lookingas though he badbeen having hard conferences, whileGeneral Grosvenor paced the aisles andgrasped hands.

Itwas notariotous convention. Therewere no wild outbursts of enthusiasmfrom the frenzied partisans of rivalcandidates; noentrance of delegationswith banners to set the multitudescheering; no fierce skirmishing andclashing '

of candidate managers overrules of procedure and contesting dele-gations. The chieftain in the comingbattle had already been selected by theunanimous vote of the Republicans ofthe country. The man who had stoodat the helm of the ship of State forfour years was their unbroken choice.The platform was the record of his Ad-ministration. The only question re-maining for the convention to decidewas the Vice-Presidency, and It wasnot a sufficient bone of contention toproduce the tumult which usually at-tend the assembling of a national con-vention.

The cymbals of a conquering armynever clashed \u25a0 with more vigor thanthey didthere that night. Amid thethousands of warriors there is but onechoice for leader. His face is engravedupon banners and buttons; it is framedin flowers and in ivy on the walls; Itadorns the windows of the shops andlooks down upon the swarming crowdsfromevery conspicuous place. McKin-leyagain willlead the gray beards andthe young men in the November bat-tle. Banners are dipped before hispor-trait and the mention of his namearouses enthusiasm. When SenatorForaker concluded hy peroration inthe convention on'Wednesday, a stormwildand tempestuous, shook the greathall.

There amid memories of half a cen-tury, inthe presence of men who sawthe sanguinary clouds He across thesunrise di the party, the Republicansmet inthe high tide of their glory1 toname their national candidate andenunciate the platform for the comingcampaign.

At 12:36 precisely, Tuesday, June 19,the Convention was called to order byHon. M. A. Hanna, Chairman of theNational Republican Committee. At12:53 p. m. Chairman Hanna designat-ed Hon.\E. C. Wolcott as temporarychairman, and thus was opened, on theforty-fourth anniversary of the day onwhich General John C. Fremont wasnominated by the first Republican Con-vention, held inMusic Fund Hall onLocust street, Philadelphia, the Na-tienal Convention of 1900.

The reception of delegates to theNational Republican Convention atPhiladelphia last Sunday^gave thestaid old Sunday-observing '

QuakerCity a jolt toward hades, the like ofwhich was never experienced before inall its history. The oheering, horn-blowing, bomb-bursting, ear-splittingdin drowned the church bells and theLord's day was turned over to pande-monium and politicians. All nightlongand all day Monday and up to12:36 p. m. Tuesday the racket wascontinued.

The graduating class of 1900, of theJackson grammar school, under Prin-cipal W. S. Williams, willholdexer-clses in Webb Hall this evening. Anexcellent programme has been pre-pared.
