IMPORTANT DECISION,
Removal of improvements on Bonded
Mines.

hehONai OF Improvements on Dohoe"
Mines.
The Supreme Court has settled q
question Of interest to mining men,
and one that has involved many
disputes. The particulars Of the
case decided are thus described by
the Calaveras, Cal, Prospect:
&C. w. Pomeroy and A. f.
Pomeroy are the owners of the
Mt. Timolus quartz mine, and in
1894 bonded the mine 10 the de-
fendant, Henry II. Bell. Bell in
his operations on The mine, placed
thereon a hosting works and a
mill, but nothing Nas said IN his
agreement as to the right to remove
these improvements Id the event
that he did not purchase the mine.
In 1895 Bell abandoned the mIpe
and commenced TO tear down and
remove the machinery and build
ings, when be was stopped by an
injunction sued out by Pomeroy.
On the trial IN the Suprior Court,
Judge Gottichalk decided that as
the agreement was silent as to any
right to remove the improvements,
they became part of the land and
BELONGED to Pomeroy. The Su-
prone Court aHrms this Judgment,
The case virtually decides that if a
written agreement does nos per-
mt machinery ard improvements

A DAY At THE +" ZOO."
BY ELSIE PoMERaY M'ELRoY.

MANY WaShingtonians seem TO live in en-
tire Inconsistencies of the attractiveness OF
our City. or are only rarely aroused to inter
est in the gardens and buildings when friends
and relatives come from out OF town and de-
mand sightseeing trips After the strangers
are gone there is a lapse into the old indit1er-
ence Sightseeing is in itself SO hewildering,
so fatiGuing. that one who has chance 10 note
in leisuIelv fashion the interest round about
him is fortunate. One must lie keenly alive
and ALWAYS on the watch TO see everything
that is beautiful and to watch everything that
is interesting here.
One of our lavorite resorts is the ZOO. !"
Only a few street-car conductors and dusty
scientific men call it The Geological Park. J"
Six wears ago the q" Zoo was an impromptu
affair. crowded into q little space between
the buildings back of the Smithsonian. Here
were several cages of birds. some foxes, a
bear or two. and a fence around several
buffalo. They were animals sent to the
Smithsonian, and kent alive ont of mercy
rather than with any definite plan for max
ing 4 permanent or extensive collection OF
them.
But bears and buffalo proved unwleldy to
manage in the small space, and TO the delight
of everybody a certain part of Rock Creek
Park was apportioned for a National Zoo, !"
and great fences and cages and caves were
built. and the animals successfully and COM
fortably lodged Now there are some 200
beasts, all in all, in photographed houses
CAGES and parks. CiIcuses send gifts or loans
of animals, Others are bought or traded for,
and many are preset ted TO it, and monkeys,
alligatOrs cockatoos, lions snakes armadillos,
and hundreds of other animals 90 to make
up a most interesting collection.
Rock Creek, as it flows down to the
Potomac. narrowing between steep. rocky
banks or broadening out to pebbiy shores with
grassy levels with pink, tatteTed birches
leaning over the water. and oak and beech
trees tripping up the hills, with 4 beautiful
pageant of flowers. from the first blue violet
that grows beside the ferns to the last blue
aster and Centian. is one of the prettiest bits
of scenery in our country, and it is right in
the heart of this beauty. north of the city, in
what is known as Rock Creek Park, a greet
stretch of land owned by the Government,
that the zoo is located. The managers have
not spoiled the beauty of the place by too
much artifce.
As one goes down the long, winding, rustic
stairway ut the northwest entrance the first
sounds that greet his ears are the yelps OF
the sea-lions-queer beasts that flap in and
nut of their pool, yelping and waving the
upper half of their body. They are no more
like lion than is a parrot-they yelp like
dogs and bray like mules, and either of these
names would have been more appropriate to
them, everybody admits. There is baby
fellow. who does his best to lie snug and
comfortable on his mothers back, and man
ages to stick on that wet and slippery couch

back again, oblivious TO everything but his
rest there
The most interesting view of these beasts
is when they have their breakfast. The
keeper throws them little, silyery, live fish,
which they catch dextrously, and apparently
swallow at gulp. If one chance to miss its
destination, and fall to the ground, there is
tremendous yelping, Topping, and scrambling
for the tid-bit
The next animals are the bears. They
have caves built in the great rocks of the
steep banks, and besides have concreted
promenade with pools of running water. and
with lofty cage of steel bars between them
and their admirers. The children particu-
larry devote themselves to the bears. One
great brown fellow tlattcns himself ont
against his cage and clasps the bars in much
the pose Of Charlotte Corday behind the
prison bars in the famous pictures, and begs
for peanuts. II he can catch your eye he
opens his mouth aud mods his head at you, as
though intimating that the time was now
ripe for that little testimonial of peanuts.
The big clumsy fellow. who is really light
footed and quick. scramblng after a little
peanut, makes a most amusing picture.
The keepers feed the Lears next after the
sea-lons, tossing loaves # bread over the
bars, and the bears toddle away to their
caves each hugging his LOAF to his breast. 1t
is hard to believe that the big, brown fellow is
really a ferocius and bloodthirsty creature
he seems soft-nearted to the point of weak
ness.
The elephants are vicious pair-at least
Dunk, the male is; in fact, the circus could
not get any profit from him because of his
cruelty and roguery, and 81 they turned him
overto the Zoo, where he is practically help
less to hurt anyone, and is the wonder and
admiration Of hundreds of little people, who
toss peanuts into his beSeeching Jaws.
IN the Summertime the two are chained
together else they would lie unmanageable,
and are allowed out in the fields for a walk
and to the creek for a bath. They look senti-
mental as they pace together through the
daisy-fields or sport in the water, but Dunk
is the most arrant hypocrite that ever breathed
through long trunk. He begs prettily for
peanuts, and makes a pretense OF being anna
BILE, but really he is forever plotting and
planning the most outrageous villainy and
watching for some chance TO work it out.
The elks have beautiful stretch of wood
land to themselves, and they wander up and
down the slopes, rubbing against the trees
cropping the leaves, and assuming many
pretty attitudes that tempt the amateur pho

picturesque-but no sooner does the camera
