CHARGES OF BRIBERY.
A Mine Transaction Wherein
Millions Are Involved
Goes to Court.

San Francisco, Cal, June T.
A suit growing out of negotia
tons for the sale of Raw Hide
mine with other Tuolumne
county mining property and
involving S1,3O5,000 has been
begun in the superior court by
n. F. Cleary, an attorney, and
a mining man who represents
Taunder, Fielding & Bond of
London, New York and 'Chica-
go. The suit is against w. A.
Neville, w. H. Martin and
John Ballard, who have been
restained by Judge Seawall
from selling the Guild gold
mining property, of which the
plaintiff claims to have received
an option with an extension of
time Cleary states that the
defendants owned the Guild
gold mining company's shares,
aggregating in value S1,000,000
and on agreement to transfer
them to Cleary placed $4,000
shares with the Wells Fargo
bank to await payment Of the
purchase money. An expert
examination of the mining pro-
perty was. made and as a result
Cleary received the option on
some additional property with
the purchase price fixed at
81, 300, 900. An extension Of
time on the payment is claimed
by Cleary, by which he was to
pay $4,000 on June 1 of this
year and 81 10000 on August
l. Now Cleary alleges that the
defendants are trying to get
out of the agreement and he
has obtained from Judge Sea-
wall an order restraining them
from making any other deal
with the property.
Experts from New York and
London inspected the mining
property, the Raw Hide mine
and the APP, Heslop and Hitch
cock mines and they made a
verbal report of the purchase.
after which the owners of the
property refused to go on with
the negotiations. In answer to
the complaint very serious
charges of bribery are made
against Cleary.
Mr.. Neville alleges that Clea-
ry offered him 100000 to de-
fraud his partners, Messrs.
Martin & Ballard, in the APP
preaching deal and that Attor-
ney Samuel Shortridge was also
approached with offers of bri-
berry to induce him to influence
his client, Mr.. Neville, to play
into Cleary's hands.

STARTING A sKUNG FARM.
A Noval Experiment to Be Tried at
Shepherdstown, Md.
Philadelphia Times

Robert G. Miller is about to try
an interesting and what he hopes
will be profitable experiment in
this vicinity. He has leased an acre
of ground Just north of Shepherds
town and will start shank farming
on an extensive scale. MIR. Miller
has been dealing in skunk hides. for
several years past, and has shipped
as many as 500 from this place in a
single season. He has concluded
that it will pay to raise them in an
Enclosure and kill off the increase
on a rising market. There are sew
eral skunk farms in the United
States-one in New Jersey, one in
Ohio and another in Pennsylvania
and Mr.. Miller has been in cor
respondence with their propr etors
concerning the business. As re-
suit of their experience and advice
he will start his operation with
about fifty of the animals He al
ready has number on hand, and
by the time he has his place prepar-
ed he expects to have full supply
of Them The skunk is not much
Of a climber, but is rather good at
digging. In building an Enclosure,
therefore, their habits in this re-
spect must be regarded. 4 fence

above which is two feet of wire net

plank nailed fast to the tops OF tile
posts and projecting on the inside.
II fence three feet high does not
seem much Of a barrier, but it is
said that the animals will no be able
to get over it.. 1t IS not thought
that there will be much danger of
any one breaking in from the out
side. Sheds will be built to serve
as hiding places and protection
from the weather.
The an imals will be fed upon of
fal from. the butcher chops and
similar refuse. Carrion suits them
very well, but their regular diet is
worms, larvae and insects. They
feed usually at night time, remain
ing in hiding during the day. The
female skunk. bears two filters a
year-in May and September-and
there are from six to twelve in each
Hitter. The young,attain full growth
IN about three months.
The hides are salable only when
thken in winter. The skunks are
commonly black, but some have
white spots or a broad, white mark
from the head to the tail along the
back. The black ones are most
valuable, their hides selling for from

IS constant.
The trappers who are now CATCH
ing the skunks to stock the farm
use steel traps. They need no bait,
BUT place the traps at the entrance
of the den Of the animals, the plan
being to catch them: By the foot as
they come out. 1t is not an entire

THE AUTUMN VIOLET.

Very dark the autumn sky
Dark the clouds that hurried by,
Very rough the autumn breeze
Shouting rudely to the trees.
Listening, frightened, pale and cold,
Through the withered leaves and mold
Peered a violet, all in dread
"Where, oh, where is spring.? he said.
Sighed the trees: "Poor little thing!
She may call in vain for spring"
And the grasses whispered low,
eve must never let her know"
whats this whispering?" roared the
breeze;
'Hush! violetr' sobbed the trees
Thinks it's spring child, we fear
She will die if she should hear"
Softly stole the wind away,
Tenderly he murmured, "Stay!'
To a late thrush on the wing,
'iStay with her one day and sing"
Sang the thrush SO sweet and clear
That the sun came out to hear;
And il answer to her song,
Beamed on violet all day long.
And the last leaves here and there
FNttered with a spring-like air;
Then the violet raised her head
Spring has come at 1astr' she said.
Happy dreams had violet
All that night,-but happier yet
When the dawn came dark with snow
Violet never woke to know.

In the beginning of this Worid-and
all other worlds-existed as a vast
nebula of enormous extent and incon-
celyabie thlnneSS. The matter COM
posing it was of such excessive east
ness that millions of miles of it might
have been compressed into a glass bot
tie. Slowly settling around common
centers, the gas gradually collected
into suns and stars, whose light and
heat are, in al probability, due to the
clashing of their component atoms as
they gravitate continually toward the
center of the mass. In a burning can
die the impact Of the oxygen atoms In
the air against the carbon and hydro
gen atoms in the melted tallOW pro-
duceS the light and causes the heat
of the flame in the same way, in
nebulae. The impact of the various
graV1tating atoms, one against the
other, produces the light and heat by
whose aid we are enabled to see those
distant bodies
The matter, or rather the gas, which
compose our sun was once spread out
to the furthest orbit of the outermost
planeEthat is, to the planet Neptune,
unless, of course, there are other plan
eUs of whose existence we are at pres
ent Ignorant. From the orbit Of Nep-
tune, or some other planet outside it,
this inconceivably thin mass began to
converge, growing denser and denser
and smaller as it gradually APP
preached it's existing dimensions. AS
it condensed, revolving upon its axis,
the solar mist left behind it at inter-
walls portions of cloudlike matter cast
off from it's equator; these masses n
gas, undergoing a similar evolutio,
upon their own account, have, with
great slowness, hardened into Jupiter,
Saturn, the earth, and the other plan
cts. Meanwhile, the main central
mass, always retreating as it left these
masses behind, formed eventually the
sun itself, the chief luminary Of our
system Of Worlds.-We Re-
view.
