CONCEN TRATES
Alpine County has within her confidence eight peaks along the backbone of the Sierra Nevadas that are
over 10,000 feet in height.
Driving. over Ebbett’s Pass at an
elevation of 8800 feet the view of:
this rugged, snow capped range is
most inspiring and as the new highway, which is being improved by
“the state, winds downward toward
Markleeville the view of the upper
Carson Valley, with its abrupt flanks
éof blue and green conglomerates, is
«of unsurpassed beauty.
In all Alpine County there is a
population of less than 150 people
The county seat, Markleeville, is
prettily situated on the west branch.
of the headquarters of the Carson
River. The town consists of less than
a dozen houses and a somewhat diminature court houhe.
court house.
As there is but little county businetss to transact the county officals
are businehs men who cannot depend upon a livehood upon the small
salaries made necessary by the lack
of population § so, if the county
assessor is wanted it is necessary to
send out to his ranch for: him to
come in. The sheriff is operating a
mine and other officals are augmenting their. small salaries by various
. occupations.
Sliver City, about ten miles south
of Makleeville, was once the scene
of great mining activity and supported a population of about 6000 vy the
mining of sliver. Today, all that remains of this once prosperious town
are the smelter stack and the deeaying remnants of many homes and
former placs of businss. But the
grandeur of Alpines magnificent
peake and beautiful valleys is hard
to realize unless one has seen them.
The fruit men are having a bad
yeay along. with the rest of . the
country . in the genaral , depression
now existing .Thé first cherries
shipped this year jbrought but 65
eents per box in the eastern markets
while the cost of pickin,g packing
and shipping the cherries comes
to $1.74 making a net loss, the
shipper of $1.09 per box. The result is that cherries are being left
unpicked around Loomis. and the
Placer County fruit belt. \
The outlook for peaches this year
is also bad, with a market price of
$12 per ton. The raisers say that
the price itself would not be so bad
had it not been for the fact that the
canneries demand graded fruit of
partically one size
blemist of any kind.
We are told by a fruit man the
other day that the packer neglected
about 75 per cent of the fruit delivered for trivial faults and that
the price of $12 per ton means in
the end, about $3 per ton to the
grower for fruit picked and delivered
(The Modesto canneries? are not
—————
and without:
but the young reckless generation
who think it smart to show off by
seeing how fast. they can make a car
go or how close they come to some
passing machine without hitting it.
The most deporable accidents
occur, not upon the rough and dangerous mountain roads, but nearly
always upon,:the improved, open
highways which seem ¢o a certain
type of humanity to be an. invit‘ation for insane seed and recklessness.
Youth generally, when it takes the
' wheel of an automobile, seems to
‘east aside all reasons and responsibility and regard for others. And
when the combination is made with
Volstead booze, which is now so
popular and so easy to get, we have
‘a condition that is hadr to deal with.
j But something will have to be done
. about it sooner or later. When twenty
. one people are killed and twice that
many injured in a single day in Cali; fornia, as they were last week, it
‘is time to pay some attention to it.

ACTIVITIES OF
ASSEMBLYMAN SEAWELL
“This is the second of a series of
articles of explanation of bills introduced by Assemblyman Seawell and
passing both Houses of the Legislature. Assemblyman Seawell introduced four assembly joint resolutions. and are explained as follows:
Assembly Joint Resoultion no. 18
requests the United States Congress
and Division of Forestry to appropriate the sum of $1000,000.00 for
the purposes of damage is being done
by insects in the forests of this State,
and it is the purpose of this resolution to have the Federal Government
participate in the preservation of
the National Forests located in this

will be found to avert any action
that will further depress the industry

State and a; the same tome prevent
the spread of the pests. to other
forest acres situated in California.
Asembly Joint Resolution no. 21
requests Congress to provide ‘compensation that they removed the tax
rolis of the several Counties due. to
the fact thay they have .been included in the National Forest Areas, and
are not taxable in this State. :
This resoultion provides that the
Federal Government pay to the State
five cents per acre for every acre
of land of national forest and federal
timber reserve land in the State of
California. This would mean that
the Federal Government would return approximately One Million
Dollars to the State of California
which sum of money would be allocat
ed to the several counties in which
this National Forest and timber’ land
is located which would mean a big
savings to the local tax payer.
Assembly Joint Resolution no. 14
requested the President and Congress
to call a meeting of ‘r@presentatives
of the Oriental and Latin American
countries for the purpose of trying
to re-establish the trading value of
sliver as sliver is the medium of
trade of the Oriental and Latin
American countries. Their purchasing power has been severely, handicaped due to the uresent value of
sliver, and as they are the leading
customers of the United States is
one of the reasons why our foreign
markets are not what they were. before the slump in the sliver market.
As the result.of this resolution
President Hoover, a short time ago,
called a conference as per the request of the resolution and the same
is to be held inthe near future.
Assembly Joint Resolution no. 22
requested Congress and the President
to prevent the importation into the
United States of products produced
by Russian convict lagor. At present
time Russia is flooding this country
with products by labor of this type
and as the result of this important
of such produsts American business
and Americans Free labor finds itdelf unable to compete with the
Russian convict made products. The
Government and the President have
taken stops.to place an embarge upon such products made by prison
labor in Russia.
I believe all these resolutions are
of extreme interest and benefit to
the State of California.

CENTRAL GOLD MINES CO°
WILL RESUME WORK
'
SAN ANDREAS, Cal., June 4—The
Mother Lode Central Gold Mines”
Company, recently reorganized with
George W. Scott of San Francisco
as.president, is making. preparations,
for the: early resumption of oper-.
ations on an extensive scale on the . &
Lamphear Mesher and Emerson)
mines, about a mile and a half south .
of Mokelumne Mill, after a shut-.
down of about a year. Recently more ,
than 150,000 feet of heavy lumber .
has arrived on the properties, a
promising contigous estates totall-.
ing 189 acres of patented land, eek
the retimbering of the Lompher and
Mosher shafts, both 300-foot incline
workings about 750 feet aparton
the Mosher vein, and other purposes. .
_ President Scott announces that,.
immediately following the dewater-,
ing of the workings and retimbering .
of the two shafts, as a drift will be,
extended on the 280-foot level of .
the Lampher to connect the two,
bores and for exploratory purposes, .
and the Lamphear shaft continued .
down from the presen; bottom io
300-foot point to a total depth of
500 feet. Simultaneously ;ore ex-:
traction will be prosecuted in the
three veins traversing the group on}
the 300-foot level of the Lamphear .
shaft, and the 20-stamp mill again .
placed in commission. The main or .
Lamphear vein has an average width
of six feet and-in past operations
has yielded values ranging from
$7.50 to $15 a ton in gold, it is stated. The compinded properties are
credited with a past production of
$200,000. The Lamphear mine was
originally operated in the early days,
of California by the late U. S. Senator George Hearst.
{Under a lease and bond recently
obtained, Fred Zurcher is sinking a
vertical shaft, now down 50 feet, on
the Tyron placer gravel property,
one mile northeast of Vallecito. He
expects to hit bedrock within Naa;
additional 20 feet of sinking.
