AN ANCIENT PAINTING.

While excavating in a house at Pom peii. the workmen recently found T beautiful painting. to which the title Venus at Her Toilette" has been given by Italian connoisseurs who have made n careful examination of it They say that 1t certainly represents the goddess of Love arraying herself in the morn ing. and that around her are her at tendantS and female slaves.
 Tki. p4intinS is fresco. and the house in which 1t was found belonged formerly to Marcus Lucretius Fronto. who during his life was evidently one of the most prominent men in Pompeii. In the house are six large rooms, all of which are eIaborately furnished and decorated. Besides this fresco another one quite equal to it in beauty anu representing the punishment of Ne optolemus was also found. Near them were discovered several minor paint ings. as well as othsr relics of consid- erable value. At a little distance were unearthed ne skeletons of six men. and. as one of them held tightly large vase filled with pieces of money. the assumption is that they were burglars. who had taken advantage of the con- ste.nation in the city to rush into this wealthy mans house. and who hal themselves been overtalSen by the d.
 stroying fire before they could escape.

A private letter received here yes terday from Frank Marshall. a Mon tana mining man, who left Phoenix for Jerome a few days ago, says the Ven- ture Hill company is hard at work de- veloping its property, and that it has what suggests itself to him as be- nanza. He says that the Socrates tun- nei is in 43e feet and has crossed ledge thirty feet wide.. according to his own measurement. The ore is sul- phates and iron and is rich in copper and gold. The tunnel at this point has vertical depth of something over 900 feet: that is, it is that far from tho tunnel through the roof 10 the gra s roots.
 The tunnel on the other hill is in 210 feet and also reveals to view a bi: ore body. though not so large as the Socra tes. The ore is seemingly self roasting and self fluXing in quality, which will make it easy to work.

A SMOOTH SWIM DEER
Grand Distribution of Forged Checks
 Among Merchants.

A prepossessing scoundrel tapped four and perhaps more business men last Saturday by a new process. as painless at the time of the operation as the pulling Of tooth of q patient under the influence of chloroforIn. He was well dressed, honest looking gen. tieman. who might have been the su- perintendent of a Sunday schood. but probably was not. H approached his victims with Q. pleasantr smi-e and a neat card bearing the name of ''C. p. Dent" and said that he was about to go into business at Hot Springs June tion and desired to make a few pun chases of things to be shipped to that station. He bought cook stove of Ezra w. Thayer. He offered in pay ment . certified check on a Los Ali geles bank. The cheek was apparently drawn by man by the name of Fray in favor of C. D. Dent. The certifica- ton was made with Q rubber stamp and the name of the cashier. The face of the check was about twice the val-le of the stove. MT. ThaSer gave him the difference in cash, and as MT. Dent- said he was in a hurry for the stove it was shipped to Hot Springs Junction the same night.

He bought two large consignments of ice at inc Arctic Ica works, one to be shipped to the June tion Immediately and the other in

At any rate. the Valley bank received a telegram |. in the afternoon stating that they were for geries.
 The four depositors were informed of it. MT. Thayer telegraphed to Hot Springs Junction about the stove. The agent replied that it hsa arrived safely, but that no one had called for it. MT Thayer can recover 1t by paying the

BIG GOLD DISCOVERY
The Mother Lcde of the Octave Dis
 trict Located.

News reached the city yesterday of a mineral discovery whose surface indi cations point to a probability that it is ore of the greatest gold finds on re- ord. It is about twelve miles from Congress junction. on what is Believed to be a prolOngation of the Octave re- zion ledge. It is described as the prob atle mother lode of all the gold ledges and veins in that part of the country It ranges in width from zoo to 400 feet between clearly defined walls. Ore taken from almost anywhere across the face will horn gold. The discovery was made by Frank CZarnowski about two months ago, but was not announcei by him until couple of days ago, and was then done in such a way as not to attract wide attention. He has lo- cated 7500 feet along the lode. No work beyond a few prospect holes has been done. but wherever they have been slx1k gold has been found. MT. Car nowski owned scvcral mining claims southwest of the present discovery and not long aga bonded them to the Oc-. tave company.

A MINING COMPANY
In Which Mrs Mckinley Is Inter.

A recent issue of the Elmira (N. Y.) Gazette publishes an account of the organization of the Mckinley Mining company for the operation of mining propei.ies in Nevada. Among the di- rectors arr NJ C.

CCrtelyou, the presidents private secretary, as q rep resentative of the Mckinley estate. The new organization will be known as the Mckinley Mining and Smelling company, and will have capital stock of Sl .0G0. .000. Efforts were ecsntly ma h by eastern capitalists to buy this prop- erty with a view to capitalizing it at. S1O.O00. coo. but pledge had been made to President Mckinley. who was one of the owners. that it should not be cap italizcd at more than a million. This pledge prevented the sale. If he had lived he would have been one of tho directc;s. The original ownership Of the property was in Mir. Saxton, the father of Mrs. Mckinley and Mrs. Bar her. Upon the death of MT. Saxt1n tn property fell to George Saxton, wha was shot and killed at Canton two years ago.. Since then the ownership , has been in Mrs. Mckinley and her sister. Mrs. Barber.

A JUSTICES COURT
A Woman Who Inflicted Herself Upon
 Her Neighbors.

Dr. w. C. Robbins yesterCxy caused the arrest on a warrant from Justice Burnett's court Of a man named John Powers. cha ging with embedding Q gold watch and chain. Powers had been for some time in the employ of pr. Robbins. He was not equippe.i with watch. and, needing one to kesp track of office hours, the doctor let him have his. Powers lately abandon cd the medical business and so simul- taneously did the watch and chain.
 The doctor found Powers and askel him about the watch Powers said he had got short of funds and had to pawn it. When he was arrested and broughs into court he had the property with him and prepared to set up q claim to it. saying that the doctor had given 1t to him three times. His case was set for trial at o'clock this afternoon
 Jane Doe, whose name is Gordon, was arrested at her home. Seventh an Washington streets. for drunkenness. and disturbing the peace of her neign- bcrs. Complaint was made against Mrs Gordon several days ago by Frank Steele, who resides in tlie same houe. He said that the woman's conduct was outrageous whenever she was drunk and her iaSs occurred with annoying frequency. She was in the habit c: calling her neighb0rs vile names an1 accusing them of the most reprehensi- ble conduct. She was warned by ln officer that an arrest would follow the next outbreak. She got off the boun- daries of the reservation again yester- day afternoon and an officer was sent for. The Justice dispatched one with orders to take her directly to the coul- ty jail.

VERDI AND MORELLI.
Stories of the Musician and the
 Painter.


 This year may be said to have been fatal to Italy, as she has lost. besid s men of lesser importance, Verdi Crispi and MoIeili-her veteran composer. her most prominent statesman and her greatest painter. Verdi and More iii were bound by the most tender frieni- ship from their youth, and had recip- rocal admiration for each others ta.;- ent. Verdi saying. 'T would give all my operas to have produced one of the Christs of AIorelIi.' while the latter. with equal sincerity. said. "I would II Trovatore-'
 Two good stories are told of MoreIlI which will bear repitition. An autho-- ess of note was in Naples, and very much desired to know him. but coul find no one to act as Intermediary. So a last she took her courage in he hands and resolved to introduce her self but not without qualms. As she approached she found the studio door oren. and. pushing a curtain to one side, stood before the artist at work. who. looking at her absent mindedly. said. These lines seem to be all right. What do you say?" and to her mur- mered response went on, but the eyes of the nuns do not suit me. Pray, sit down a moment; yours are just the thing With inward delight the woman sat down and acted as model for an hour and a half. during which writer and artist talked as though they had been friends all thsir lives. At d cer- tain point Morelli stopped abruptly. took off his glasses. peeI ed at his hani- some model and said. But excuse mo. who are yOu?',
 As all the world knows. Maestro Verdi hated public notice in his private hours. so that one day when returning from PosilIipo in the company of his wife and Morelli. he was seriously an- noyed when the people. recognizing him. began to cheer. ''I want to drive myself home" he said hastily. "Mor- elli, just place yourself beside my wife, and, jumping out of his own carriage he went on to the box of one near, thus, of course. escaping notice. Meanwhile Signora Verdi and Morelii pursued their way, and as the latter were large hat just like that of the Maestro, they were acclaimed every where, Viva Verdi,'' Viva il Maestro"
 The artist. embarrassed. returning the salutes. but every moment becon- ing more overcome. while his conpan- ion enjoyed the joke to the full. On arriving at the hotel they were met oy Nardi to whom his wife said: N ou would have choked to sec Murelli Srnii ing and lowing to the crowd as ycu could never have done. He has made your reputation for amability.' at which the Maestro shouted, "t really had you there. l knew what would happen,''-Rome correspondence of the Pail Mall Gazette.
