THE BIG TREES OF CALIFORNIA.

Andrew Caldwell, tho Special Agent Of the
General Land Office, who was ordered to make
an investigation as TO the location, condition,
number, etc, Of the giant trees in the Stockton
and Yisalia land districts Of California, has re-
ported TO the Commissioner Of tho General
Land Office. These trees, Mr. Caldwell says,
grow in detached clusters on the top or sides Of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the districts
named, and at an elevation of from 5000 to
1000 feet above the sea level Access to them is
very difficult as q rule, because of the extreme
TOughuess Of the mountain passes aud canyons.
The MAriposa grove, which is in the Stockton
district, is the largest in that vicinity, aud
contains about 800 trees OF all sizes and ap-
pears 10 be properly guarded from forest fires
by the stage company, which has tho carrying
Of passengers through that section 10 the Yose-
mite Valley. The TuOlumnc and MERGED
groves contain Is and 40 trees respectively, and
Agent Caldwell thinks these trees are in danger
Of mountain fires. which are carelessly set by
sheep herders The Fresno grove at one time
contained between 300 and 400 trees. The re-
port says that some years ago the Maders Flume
and Trading Go. erected a sawInill, and large
number Of these giant trees have been made
into lumber, only about 100 remaining. The
largest Of these trees have been spared because
they could not be proftsbly handled.
Ia the Yisalia District there is one large and
one small grove OF giant trees. The former is
About five years ago colony numbering some
coo members located about 40 entries in this
neighborhood and is now constructing a road to
this timber belt. The agent thinks that there
is danger that these people, If uumOlested, will
soon destroy this most wonderful and perfect
body OF Sequoa gigautia in the world.
In a table, giving the number and size Of the
trees in the groves visited, only those 45 feet in
circumference and more--measured three feet
from tho ground-are classed as giants. OF
these 2,675 were found. FouTty-four are over
so feet in circumference. and several are more
! than hundred. One is Jog feet in circumfer-
encc, or a little more than 80 in diameter.
Secretary Noble has requested the Secretary
Of War 10 station a company OF cavalry in the
SequOia National Park aud another in the YO-
semitic Park to prevent depredatiOns on the
mammoth tree groves. 1t is stated that the
so-called Bcllamy colonists, who have in part
perfected title to lands on which these trees
stand, have expressed purpose to hold their
claims in spite Of all opposition.

oil his shirt in order TO disclose whether there
were marks upon his back, the results Of the
fight with Matthias Justice Bradley asked il

the rights Of man had been violated II the wit

like purpose. When Judge Brewer asked If

piled repTOachiuly:

A Hard Corner,

The age Of 80 is a hard corner for a woman
to turn, and So is still harder. She feels that
she is fast leaving her youth behind her. But
there is no reason why woman should be

cause Of the early fading of American women

to it this morning, he said that some
had accused brother Hilton of being
the man, but he wanted to state that
it was not brother Hilton The com
missioner, said Mr.. Jones, was a

name him.
This charge naturally created stir,
and the whiskey dealers vehemently
deny it. Mr.. Jones said his infor-

that the member of the board who
was approached with the bride, had
