Investigation.

During the past twelve months there
has been, as 1t we're, new feature In
augurated in ming enterprises;a salutary
want has been supplied. We refer TO
the Wholesale and oft-time much needed
inquiry into the management OF mining
companies. Since the first discovery of
gold 10 California down to the present
day IL Ia safe to assert that nigh two
hundred millions OF dollars has been col
lected for the ostenpible purpose OF
developing mining property. The
enormity of these figures 10 simply ap.
palling. yet they are easily verified by
the most superficial examination. The
disbursement Of large sums of money, as
Is we'll known to every one, affords an
opportunity to the party or parties who
dispense it 10 divert q portion Of it to
their own use. and there 10 probably no
field or financial business where the
population is az enormous IS In the con.
duct OF mining operations. Offering as
II does, 10 the bold and inscriptions a
rich field for operation and with less
fear OF detection and consequent punish
nient, it has become haven for the
most daring scoundrels. Year after year
have millions upon millions OF dollars
been poured into the bottomless golfers
OF these mining hyenas. We have not
the slightest doubt that's very large per-
centage OF the money collected is &C.
tually stolen and the men who take it
are nothing more than thieves. 1t is
owing to them and their scoundrelly ao-
tions that the mining homogeneous in
the city are so often accused OF what
they are perfectly innocent OF. 1t
would be good thing for the market il
some of them, when they are found out
could be sent across the bay and have q
government suit OF ticking given to them
for, as Richlieu said il might encour-
age the others" to be rather more honest
and to put the money collected where it
would do the most good-to the develop.
ment of the mines.

More Poisonous Stockings.

A little boy, four years old, in Utica,
is reported to have been badly poisoned
by stockings dyed brown by the use of
picric acid. The Observer of that city
says: "Last Sunday the little fellow
put on a pair of brown wooden stockings.
Yesterday morning he was taken very
i'll. He commenced retching and vomit-
ing, and a yellowish hue commenced
spreading all over his body. When Dr..
Teft was called he was suffering great
pain. DIR. Teat confesses that after an
examination he was unable to see why
the boy should be sick until his eye fell
on the boys brown stockings, when the
thought flashed over him that the news
papers were probably right and that
there waspoison in them. He had them
removed ut once and found that the
boys legs were fairly yellow. This
morning the stockings were subjected
to a test. A piece "a cut from one of
them and placed in hot water for a mo-
ment. Then placing it between the
teeth a very bitter taste was p%erceptible
so bitter that it irritated the end of
the tongue. The pair of stockings were
then placed in the water. On wringing
them the water became discolored, as
suming q %yellowish tinge. There is no
doubt that the picric acid used to color
the stockings produced the boys sick
ness. At one time the little fellow was
very near death, but he is now recover
ing. The stockings were not a cheap
pair. They were as nicely made and of
as nice a shade as any. But their effects
are dangerous. This picric acid is not
used alone for purely brown stockings.
1t is also used to dye striped hose in
which that color appears. But all
brown stockings are not poisoned.
There is n sure test to apply to detect
its presence. Stockings dyed with it,
placed between the teeth and against
the tongue impart a bitter taste which
can not be mistaken.

A Terrific Bear Hunt.

On Saturday evening, says the Evans
ton (Wy. Terri Age, two men, who
had started for the Black Hills on foot,
came into town in a hurry, and said
they had seen a bear about four miles
west, close to the track. He was in a
large hole in the snow, and, as they
came along, stuck his head out. As
they had not lost any bear, they did not
stop to see whether there was more than
one, nor how large that one was. The
news soon spread, and despite the terri
BILE snow storm, a party of a dozen or
more was at nee ready to start for the
scene. Engine No. 20, run by w. H.
Dickinson, was brought into requisition,
and for fear there might be more bears
than could be otherwise accommodated,
the ~six-pounder piece ot artillery that
has so long stood guard over the Pres
byterian Church, was mounted on top
of the tender. All the old guns that
could be got together were procured,
and the engine started for the place
where the snow would soon be covered
with fur and blood, from a score of huge
grizzlies. In a short time the spot was
reached, but the storm had filled the
entrance Of the cave with snow so
that all that could be seen was
n or two heaps of dirty snow. As
soon as the engine stopped, Joe Nc
Manus, Mr.. EARL, Frank Foote and Mr..
Allen jumped off to catch the bear.
where is itp" said Joe, and started for
a heap of snow that might be the open
ing of the cave, but just then he broke
through, his feet probably striking bruin
on the head; for he at Once called for
help. On being drawn out, it was found
the bear had secured one of his boots.
At this juncture Johnnie Hoyt and Jesse
Knight, getting considerably excited,
commenced to load the artillery with
Jumps of coal, and Joe Edison heated
the poker to touch it off, but it would
not go. Upon examination, it was
found in the hurry the powder had been
forgotten. The firearms they had with
them were then brought into requisi-
ton, and the snow for ten rods square
bored with bullets. The shovel brigade
then turned loose, bent upon finding
Bruin if he was there. After digging
awhile, what was their surprise to come
across the head of a cow that had been
killed by a train. Concluding that
must have been the bear that was seen,
the brave hunters returned home.
Several persons who were out yester-
day found a ground hog, which they
conclude to have been the supposed
bear.
