Azure Queen VS.. |. X. L.

The protest suit of the Azure Queen
dining Company against the 1. x.
L. Mining Company, occupied the
attention of Judge Hunter on Wednes'
day, and the case is still unfinished.
1t is thought by some of the attorneys
it will he concluded on Friday even
ing. but if this resembles lawyers
esuma.es Of suits generally, this will
be in progress until next week. 1t
has been stated that the only ground
on which the Azure Queen objects to
the Issuance of a patent to the |. Y.
l. and asks a patent Tor itself, Is
that of abandonment on the part OF
the latter company. This is not the
case. as the plaintiffs also set up a
forfeiture of the property under the
local rules aud nstionsllsws. and that
the I. X, L. was originally located
one half mile southwest OF the Azure
Queen, and that it has hoated dowr
ION the latter property. These are III
grounds set up by the plaintiff.

is a good plaza for enterprising

No person has yet ventured to

getting his plow, harrow. and other

thoroughly soaked and wet, and it

Queer Elephants.

Ctesias, the Cnidian, who lived A.. D..
$50, reported that the elephant has no
joints, that consequently tits unablet t6ls
lie down, and is in the habit OF sleeping
as it rests against tree in its native
forest This peeuliarity, he stased, ,tiss
taken advantage of by the hunters,who,
cut down the trees whereupon the huge
beast rolls helplessly over on its back,a
and is easily captured or .dispatched.y
The real facts are. that elephants often
sleep standing, and that thel wildessa
ones seldom lie down Yet tame eless,
plants as often sleep lying as Standing.
Christophous Costa declared that eieta
plants have been known to speak, and :,
this question is one which even Sir
Thomas Browne never ventured to COM /
tradict-he thought it might be posi-, !,
