A Wonderful Pacing Mare.

In her exhibition Marion Mills, the
remarkable pacing mare, wears nothing
but surcingle, bride, overdraw aud

starts. stops and increases her speed nc
cording to the strokes She goes up to
the starting point and scores to the wire
just as if she wero driven.
If tho starter considers her little
Off, he will ring the call back, and on
tho instant sho will whirl and try it
again. Tho moment tho word "go" is
given She shoots away like a rocket, and
when tho mile is finished she will come
back to the Judges stand, look up rs if
to ask if everything is o. X. and then
face the stand rs if in Appreciation of
tho applause.
Sho is trained for her work just as
other horses are trained to trot and
pace. Her handler bitches her III Il sui

ing her to overcome tho bad habit of

man nature to jump to conclusions and
very often from false premises. If a
man burns his house down and there is
an insurance upon the property, 1t is
assumed that he did SO In order to get
the insurance. 1t Is true that that is
a reasonable explanation of the mans
act. for to willfully destroy ones own
and divest oneself Of what may
have been accumulated after long years
of toll Is indicative of insanity. But the
instruction Of the court to the jury. al
ready referred to, denied the right Of
the jury to SO reason in their own minds,
holding that nothing detrimental to
vasolo could be inferred from the burn
ing. This being so, and 1t being shown
that he had never made any claim upon
the company in which his property was
insured, how is 1t, is being asked, that
vasolo was found guilty Of burning his
house down with intent to defraud an

ment with Reddy, Campbell and Retson,
of San Francisco, they with four or five
others claiming interest in the mining
group through Mrs. Moores' wholesale
disposition of options. These negotia-
tions have after an infinity of trouble
resulted satisfactorily, and yesterday
in the office of Attorney Will Harris,
who has represented the original own
ers throughout the proceedings, the
last of the papers were signed.
What the basis of agreement was has
not been allowed to transpire. but the
value of the properties is such as to
make it reasonably certain that a large
sum Is being paid to buy out the ad-
verse interest The status quo ante Is
restored save that Mrs. F. L. Moores is
included as one of the owners.
There are about twenty claims in the
group but only three have been devel-
oped to any great extent. There are 60
men who are kept constantly employed.
and in the mill Is stamps are dropping
night and day. The output ranges from
SIS, 900 to $25000 per month, and 1t Is
said, can be indefinitely increased. Now
that the white dove of peace is lowering
over the property it is intended that
work will be carried on with increased
vigor with view to increasing the pro-
ductiveness Of the mines. The tunnel
that has been run from the gulch into
the hill side strikes the lead about 700
feet from the apex and along the entire
length it is strong and well established.
The ore is free milling and averages

as high as 5000 to the ton.

WHITE WINGED PEACE
Litigation Over the
Grand" Mines Obviated

Ever since the fame of Randsburg as
mining camp was noised abroad it's
prosperity has been curtailed to some
extent by the litigation in which the
principal mines have been involved.
These mines, known as the Rand
group" were the first located in the
mining district and have justified the
expectations formed by the men who
were lucky enough to discover them.
But unfortunately trouble arose and as
the output increased so also it seemed
as IL trouble increased and finally an
appeal was made to the courts.
The original locators were John Sin
gleton, F. N. Moores, c. A. Burcham and
his wife. but later Mrs. F. L. Moores, the
wife of one of the locators, cut a promi-
nent figure in connection with the
finances of the group and indeed laid
the foundation for the trouble and liti-
cation that has since resulted. She had
been living separate from her husband
but when news of his big strike reached
her she made bee line for Randsburg.
One night when the "wine was in and
the wit out" her husband was induced
to sign a deed, which she had had pre-
pared before she left New York, by vir-
tue of which she obtained title to cer-
tain of his interests in the several min
ing claims. Then her soul was filled
with a great generosity. She gave an
option here and an option there. and very
soon the 'Rand group" Of mines was
very prettily tangled up 1t seemed as
II affairs could never be satisfactorily
settled, and one suit was filed about six
weeks ago in the United States circuit
court when The Herald published a
full account Of the complications

been carried on with visw "a g aettle-

FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
Six Year Old Ethel West Demands
$4,000 From Rice Bros.

Suit has been begun by r. D. List as
guardian ad Item of tiny six-year-
Ethel West, against Rice Brothers, the
well known grocers, to recover $10,0 900 as
damages for injuries sustained by the
child through their negligent careless
ness.
1t is claimed that in November, 1896.
William West, father of the little one.
ordered the grocery firm to send to his
home five gallons of kerosene oil. At
the house were two large iron tanks.
marked respectively "oil" and ''gaso-
line," and from these vessels was drawn
as occasion demanded, tine necessary oil
or gasoline used in the household.
Delivery was made of what was sup
posed to be oil, and it was poured by the
deliveryman into the oil tank at Mr..
Vests house. That day Mrs. West
filled the lamp, and as the shadows be-
gan to darken in the evening it was
lighted. In few moments the vapor
from the gasoline-for 1t is alleged that
it was gasoline that was delivered and
poured into the oil tank-ignited and
enveloped the lamp in flames. The
table cover caught fire, and as there was
imminent risk Of the lamp exploding and
destroying the house, Mr.. West seized
the flaming lamp, and, rushing to the
outside door, threw it out. 1t had
scarcely left his hand before it exploded
in the air, portion Of the liquid drench-
ing down upon little Ethel West. The
child had been frightened when the
lamp famed, and the table caught fire,
and ran outside just in time, unfortun-
ately, to receive the burning oil from the
exploded lamp. The child was burned
about the head, face and right arm, and,
it is claimed. has been crippled for life
In these premises damages Of $4,000 are
asked.
Some time ago suit for damages
brought by Mr.. West against Rice Bros.
as result of the same state of affairs,
resulted in favor of the defendants.
