Suit over the sweepstake Mine.

The deal over the much -ad vertised
Sweepstake gravel claim in Trinity
county has finally eliminated in law
suit against the vendors of the prop
erty-Judge John F. Davis, of this
county, who is now code commissioner
of the state, E. A. Davis, his brother,
and Frank Hall of San Francisco. The
allegations of the complaint filed in the
superior court of San Francisco against
the defendants are of a highly sensa-
tional character. Defendants, it is
claimed, being owners of practically all
the stock of the Sweepstake Gold Min
ing and Ditch Company, entered into
an agreement in March 1901 with the
plaintiff, Robert j. Anderson, bonding
said property for the sum of So. 900, 600.
to be paid in instalments of $l25, 000
Two iustalments were paid, making
$780, 600, and something like 500, 900
were spent in putting the property in
shape for working on large scale.
Prior to the censummation of the
agreement, the purchaser visited the
property, and made a test of it's gold
bearing qualities, which proved so
satisfactory that the negotiations were
pushed to completion. In July 1902,
however, the complaint recites, it was
discovered that the mine was salted,
which in mining parlance means that
the gold obtained from the testing
operations was not native born, but
had been injected into the mine with
fraudulent intent. Judgment is asked
for the resembling of tho agreemen t
and the recovery of $3.50, 900 - the
amount paid on the purchase price and
outlay in opening up the mine, with
interest. This is the substance of this
highly Favored suit. The Ledger re-
trains from comment. as the true facts
will no doubt be brought to light when
the case comes up for trial.

Assault With Deadly Weapon.

Antoine Badaracca is wanted by the
officers on charge of assault to COM
NIT murder. Perhaps more so than
any other individual in Amador county,
he has given the peace officers employ
ment in hunting him up at various
times for number of years. He lives
with his father on the Badaracca ranch
a couple of miles south of town. The
quietude of that retreat was broken
last Sunday by Antoine, while under
the influence of wine, taking the war
path. 1t is said he shot at his father,
and also took a shot at jog. Cara
baldi, who works on the ranch. The
shots fortunately went wide of the mark.
Constable Laverone went to the Bada-
racca place the same evening, but
Antoine was not at home; furthermore
he was told there had been no disturb
ance there. Monday. however, Cara
baldi came to town, and swore to a
warrant of arrest, and the same even
ing Sheriff Norman and deputy jack
son went out to arrest the accused, but
found him missing. He is evidently in
hiding until the excitement has SUBJ
dided. The trouble heretofore has been
that the charges have not been prose-
cuted owing to the reienting of the
complaining witness, from desire to
screen the accused.
Later.-On Thursday morning, he
having learned that Badaracca had re-
turned, Sheriff Norman, Deputy Jack
son, and Constable Laverone started
out early after their man, and by nine
o'clock had him safely landed in the
county jail. He was found alone and
in bed in cabin near the scene of the
trouble, and was exceedingly tame
when the officers made the arrest

Vast sums have been laid out to pro-
vide lungs for the city in the, shape
of parks, unimproved open spaces and
children's Fairgrounds Over $13500,-
900 have been spent to acquire land
for ten important parks in Manhattan
alone since consolidation, while a num-
Der of smaller open spaces and play
grounds have been provided on the is
land at a round cost of about $6000,-
600. Representative of these parks is
Jefferson Park, which cost 50, $50, 000
For several years past Greater New
York has spent from 100000 to ST.
100000 annually for new parks. In
1901 its total expenditure for this pur-
pose was $5,SS5,514, while that of the
fourteen next largest American cities
combined was under $4,000, 900.
Five years ago South Bronx Park
was wilderness. Now it has been
transformed into the finest geological
garden in the world at a cost of over
81. 100000. Between 100000 and $4,-
100000 are being spent for the extern
sion of Riverside Drive in Harlem, and
numerous boulevards, costing millions,
have been built in the Bronx and
Brooklyn.
Tens of Millions for Education.
Education has had generous share
of the billion and a half Seventy-five
new school buildings and twenty-six
additions to old buildings were run IN
in the years from 1899 to 1902. In the
past two years forty new buildings and
additions have been provided. Thirty
millions were spent for new schools and
sites from 1899 to 1909 and in the pres
ent year 100000 will be spent. The
banner year was 1902, when the figures
ran to $4,000, 000-a far greater sum than
any other city has ever spent IN one
year for new schools in the worlds his
tory.
In a few years New York mas equip-
ped herself with the second largest uni
versity in Observation-Disclosures 1t is
only half finished, but already about
thirteen millions have been spent for
land and buildings, a good half of the
amount within the past five years.
Plans are now under way for spending
another $4,000 900.
New York University has erected a
fine group of new buildings at a cost
of between $4,000, 600 and 5000. 900, and
the College of the City of New York
is now spending anywhere from three
to hye millions on its plans for
splendid home.
An educational institution which will
put all its rivals in the world to shame
when it is finished is the American
Museum of Natural History. Two and
quarter millions have been spent on
the building alone, although it is only
quarter finished, but it is already the
largest museum in the world. The en-
tire square in which 1t is situated will
ultimately be covered by the museum,
at q cost 10 exceed $1o.0oo,o0o.
Libraries are springing up all over
the city. Fifty Carnegie libraries are

streets and sewers since 1899. During
the past two years alone fourteen mil
lions were spent for streets and sewers
alone.
Plans for Spending stl More MIL
Lions.
A billion and a half dollars is a con-
servatiVe estimate, and it does not take
into consideration the numerous plans
of all sorts for the spending of still
more millions. Several of these schemes
VIII undoubtedly be adopted and push
ed forward in the near future; such as
the erection of a new Bellevue Hospital
at cost of $1,000, 900; the further ex-
tension of the famous Riverside Drive
from the end of the one-mile extension,
now being made at a cost of $4,000 900,
up to the end of Manhattan Island; and
increasing the entire citys water sup
ply at a cost estimated at 500. 900, 000
No other city in the world mas ever
authorized the expenditure of so much
money, or had so many millions ex-
pended upon it by private enterprises.
in so short a period. The records show
that For example, the city is spending
more than two and a half times as
much for parks as the next fourteen
largest American cities combined; it is
spending more for schools than any
other city, London not excepted; and

words, no one is content to rest on his
| oars. and other tens of millions will un-
! doubtedly be spent until such time as
the city feels that it is no longer five or
more or less connected boroughs, but
the American metropolis.
A Quarter of Billion for Rapid
Transit.
BY common consent the city is push
ing it's Rapid Transit plans ahead of
! everything else. For this reason the
/ most imposing item is that of Rapid
| Transit 1t is also the most important
by far; on quick transportation de-
ponds the development of a metropolis.
Rapid transit is binding the boroughs
together, the heretofore unsurmount-
, able natural barriers of rivers and
bays and sound. 1t is making access
easy to and causing the building up
of parts of the city that two or three
years ago were deemed inaccessible for
country estates.
When the present plans are complet-
ed New York will have spent $3.50 000,-
! 600 for rapid transit and possess fifty
FIVE miles of subways and tunnels. This
sum named excludes bridges.
The present subway represents an
expenditure of nearly $40 900, 900. The
! East Side tunnel, contracts for which
/ will be let in the near future, is esti-
mated to cost $50, 100000; and the
scheme to connect the bridges now
over the East River calls for at least

municipal in character, but others,
equally as extensive and costly, are
being made by various corporations
that have realized the Importance of
taking a prominent part in the rebuild
ing of the metropolis.
Sixty millions of dollars are being
spent by the Pennsylvania Railroad to
enter the island of Manhattan under
the Hudson and leave it under the
East River, and on it's new freight
route to New England from Constable
Hook, New Jersey, across the upper
bay to and through Brooklyn and the
Borough of Queens to the sound, and
thence over the East river by bridges
to the mainland.
The New York Central is also maxi
ing extensive improvements. After
recent costly remodelling of its
Grand Central Station, it is now COM
pletely rebuilding 1t and making other
improvements along it's right of way
which, all told necessitates an outlay
of half what its new rival in Manhat-
tan is spending.
Aping the railroads are the trolley
companies. The New York and New
Jersey trolley tunnel has just been
driven across the North river from
west to east, and with the supplement

river at Forty-second street. which is
to be used by various electric lines on

As for bridges. some $50, $1,000 are
being spent for steel spans across the
various rivers.
The Williamsburg suspension bridge,

the necessary land, which was got by

quire $16,000,000 while on minor bridges,
affording easier access to the outlying
districts of the northeast, about two
and half millions are being expend-
ed.
Staten Island is the one borough off
all by itself In order to bring it in
close touch with its sisters, the city is
shortly to spend $4,000, 600 to establish
an up-to-date ferry system between it
and the Battery.

that of nine piers, big enough to ac-
commodate the largest ships, on the

little sum of nine millions of dollars.
Amazing Commercial Activity.
The Interpolation, so to speak,
of the business centers of the city
has gone forward at a wonderful rate
since consolidation. During the first
three years 5000, $4,000 were spent
for all kinds of buildings in the bor-
roughs of Manhattan and the Bronx;
while since January of 1902-two

Greater New York since consolidation
at a cost unparalleled by phllantnro-
pic enterprise anywhere else IN the

In the last three years the city mas

cocaine and was fined S25 and costs in

which regulates the sale OF poison

court decided that city Council had the
