From "a the price ran on to 6S, whence
recovery In the early AFTERNOON was
rapid, ~ being touched. In the ias'
hour another break took place, To o.
The announcement was made OF trouble
among the original promoters with re
shifting suit in equity brought TO recover
of Cox, Bickford \ Go. $4,000, or TO-
900 shares OF Pioneer stock. The person
bringing the suit (Hugh Mcdonnell, oil
San Francisco.) holds receipts Tor 0,ooo
shares of the stock given To Pierre Hum-
bert, Jr., with the understanding that IL
was part of the purchase price oil the
property and not transferable. The hrm
declined to honor the receipt ON the
ground of fraud in the negotiations Tor
the purchase OF theproperty. Mr.. John +.
Abbott, attorney for the firm, makes the
following statement;
alt was originally represented To Cox,
Bickford X Co., by their agent in Califor-
MIA, that the price OF the Pioneer mine
was $3.50, 900, and IL was represented To
them in June. 1895, that the Fair estate,
which owned one-half of the property,
would take IN payment for it's interest
SIS, 900 in cash and 10000 shares oil
stock OF the Pioneercompany. The $780,
900 was deposited in bank IN San Fran
cisco and non-negotiahle receipt, ex-
on certain conditions, Tor TO-
600 shares Of stock, were sent TO San
Francisco, to be delivered 10 the repre-
sentatiyes of the Fair estate upon the de-
livery OF deed conveying good title TO
the Pioneer company. Suspicion having
been excited, Mr.. bickford went To Cali
fornia, learned that the actual sum To he
paid the Fair estate was $4,000 with
out any stock, and decree OF the court
was obtained, with the consent OF all the
heirs OF the Fair estate, under which the
whole of the Pioneer property was
sold and conveyed to Cox 4 Bickford.
They conveyed it to the Pioneer com
pany for 100, 900 shares OF stock of the
company, OF which 10000 shares at
once were transferred to the treasury of
the company. None of this stock was is
sued to Cox X Bickford until the deed,
approved by one of the best attorneys in
San Francisco as conveying complete
title to the Pioneer company, was re-
corded. Mr.. Bickford was unable to find
the receipts. They now turn up in the
possession oil man who has no connec-
ton with the Fair estate and who claims
to have obtained title to them from the
mining expert in California who was for
nerly employed by Cox, Bedford \ Co.
The receipts are not in any way binding
IN the Pioneer company. They were not
and there il no valid claim |
inder them against Cox < Bckford.' ~

THE BIGGEST OF BUGS.
The Elephant Beetle Is the Elephant In
sect Of Little Venexuela.

The Elephant Beetle Is the Elephant In
sect of Little Venexuela.
Venezuela is a little republic, but
she has one thing that is the biggest of
its kind on earth. 1t is bug-the lar
gest insect in all the world. The creature
is known as the elephant beetle, and
when full grown il weighs nearly half
pound To be struck in the face by
such bug, flying at full speed, would
make man feel as if a mule had kicked
him
This beetle. like others Of its kind,
both small and large, is clad in COM
plete suit Ct armor This armor is made
Of material far more indestructible
than steel-namely, chitine. Chitine
cannot be destroyed except by certain
mineral acids-in other words. only the
articles of chemistry avail against it,
Thus the shells of beetles that died 10,
600, 900 years ago have been preserved
perfectly i'll the rocks, so that we know
today just what these insects Of antiquity
looked like.
In Europe giant beetles have IA con-
siderable market value, commanding
prices in proportion to their size In
London there are regular auctions Of in.
scots, and Il single butterfly has been
known TO fetch as much as $500 A
specimen Of the rare ard very large Go.
Hath beetle is worth 500. This is the
largest beetle of the old world. and il
first became known through missionaries
in the Kongo basin
Though no other insect in existence
compares in bulk with the beetle from
Venezuela, there are other bugs that ex.
coed it in Dimensions. For example.
there is the Atlas silk moth, which has
wing spread Of nearly foot 1t spins
a cocoon, the silk Of which is better and
stronger than that of the ordinary silk
worm. But unfortunately il cannot be
reeled. The department Of agriculture
tried for years to discover way of reel.
ing it. but without success. Moths Of
this species often alight on ships in the
Indian ocean
There is butterfly of the Malay pen
insula and Malayan archipelago which
has spread of ten inches. In India and
tropical Africa are found giant forms OF
those remarkable insects known az
walking sticks, which look like twigs
of trees Some Of them measure rs inch
es in length. They are related to grass
hoppers and katydids. In tropical Amer
lea are found certain huge species OF
bugs that are closely related to the ia.
miliar electric light bugs of this coun.
try. Like the latter, which have been
popularity known only since the intro
duction Of the electric light, they fly at
night, living during the day at the bot
tom of ponds. Louis Star

Spot of the Northwest.
From the New York Sun.
The season that is just finished has
been the most profitable in the matter
OF tourists as well as gold mines that
Alaska had ever had. Now that IL Is
over. and the regular inhabitants of
the territory have had a chance to
think about II a little. they are begin
ming to talk about the great things in
store for them. Alaska is gorgeous in
summer. Nowhere else in the world
is there such scenery as along the ISL
and-dotted channel from Port Town
send TO Juneau Not only is nature
dressed in her best to receive the tour
lists VINO are going there in ever-in-
creasing throngs, but the inhabitants
also get on their best clothes and their
good behavior, and for four or five
months the whole territory is arrayed
in its Sunday best. But this good
clothes exhibition comes only In
streaks. II occurs for about two days
of each week, when the steamer from
down below Is in. The tourists come
and go with the steamers. and rarely
stay over from one boat to another.
As the steamers lie in each port only
a day or less. the tourists have not
much chance to make lasting inn
preston. Now. however, there is like
Iy to be a change Juneau men are
nothing II they are not hustlers. and
with the recollection of this season $
profits and possibilities they are ar
ranging to put up a big hotel on
Strawberry point. at the entrance to
