A busy ant, who frequently lectured
her offspring on the necessity of being
up betimes in the morning, started
off at the first streak of dawn in search
of grub. But as the busy ant was hik-
ing out in the direction of some food
she saw in the distance, robin, who
was also out on grub hunting eXpe-
dition, flew down and took the busy
ant in and flew away to her nest.
Then one of the young ants, who
looked out of the front door of the
hill in time to see his mother carried
away in the robins bill, said to his
brethren: ''If mother had been con-
tent to lay ahead a spell and take il
easy, she wouldn't have been fed to
one of these blamed young robins this
morning."

FIGHTING REIMBURSEMENT.
An English Central Pacific Stock.
holder Wants an Injunction.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Pin the
United States Circuit Court to-day
Walter Morshead of London, who states
that he is the owner of 24O shares of
Central Pacific stock, filed a bill in
equity to restrain the Board of Direc-
tors of the Central Pacific from taking
such measures as may lead to the abb
sorption of the Central Pacific by the
Southern Pacific, and to stop payment
of interest on new bonds or mortgages,
if issued or made. The plaintiff states
that he brings the suit on behalf of
himself and Other English stockholders
of the Central Pacific, who may here
after join him in this action.
The complaint, which is a mammoth
document, antagonizes the proposed re-
adjustment plan, by which it is al
legged the bonded debt of the Central
Pacific Company is to be increased
transfer the various sinking funds of
the Central Pacific Company, amount
ing to many millions of dollars, to the
Southern Pacific Company, and to sub
stitute the stock of the Southern cor
poration for that of the Central, the
holders OF which stock are to gay 81
per share, it is alleged, for the privi-
lege of exchanging the stock. The
prayer of the complaint is for an in
junction to restrain the exchange of
the stock certificates and to restrain
the proposed increase of the debt of the
Central Pacific Company.

TO BUILD A GREAT SHELTER.
German Capitalists Planning for
One in Shasta County.

REDDING, June Pit is stated that
German capitalists intend to soon bui d
a great smelter in Shasta County. Dur
ing the last three years George Bayka
local representative of a German syn
dictate, has filed locations on twenty
five copper claims on Saltwater Creek
about twenty miles from Redding. Ex-
pensive development work has bsen
done on these claims. Bayha has se-
cured bonds on adjoining claims and
has just made a payment on one bond
ed for 10000
1t is proposed to erect a smelter near
the site of the claims. The syndicate
has secured options on considerable adj
jacent lands. Electricity generated by
water power will be used for motive
power and for other purposes. There
seems every evidence that the German
syndicate will shortly begin the work
of building a smelter and a railway
line eight miles in length to connect
with the Southern Pacific. The new
smelter will double the copper output
of Shasta County.
