There is a legal tangle that will probably delight the soul of an attorney. All this talk about those two thicvoh whom Shot ill' Brown is chasing being dangerous desperadoes is lidieuled by those who know them. It is said that they are merely a couple of over grown country hoy whose degenerate ambition it is to be "bad men". It is probably Hiich have tho world's most nntori oiiH do.spo ratio oh evolved. They haven't any more sense than to take long chances, aud if fortune favorH ,,r,M0" " " Htrt U,03' iottru H0,,, tricks of the trade from experience and Hoon develop into what they aHpire to be. The gang that, iu the early days, persistently robbed treaHure coaches from tho Black IIIIIh wiih recruited from farmer ho.VH that came out from Iowa aud Kansas autl failed to got gold from the ground, ho took it from express messengers. Tho prime requisite iu being a "bad man" 1h being a natural born blankety blank fool. A most remarkable find was that of a pick and handle discovered twenty feet below the surface ou the MatMo claim, near Nome, Alaska. The handle la of a substance that closely resembles wood that has become petrified, aud tho pick itself is an uutiHtially largo one. Many theories as to the Hud have been advanced. K. E. Fleming, superintendent of tthe claim, concludes that it belongs to some prehistoric "sniper. " Captain Jarvls, howvor, advances the more probable theory that it was left by the party who passod through that Hoctlou in 1805 to Hiirvey a rotito for the transcontinental telegraph line. The straugo iuHtrument is ou view at the Sourdough itoau Iioiiho on Dexter creek. A New York syndicate has cIohoiI a ileal with E. L. Tunis, of Windsor IIIIIh, Maryland, tho holder of a patent ou a monorail HyHtem, for the purchiiHo of the patent, which Iiiih been vested in the American Meno rail company. The contract Iiiih boon awarded for the completion within two montliH of a five mile track for test lug purpose from Haiti more to a point ou the Patapaoo river. A new car, biiHtid ou the TiiuIh model, to bo entirely of ntool, is in procoHH of construction. It is claimed for thin method of locomotion that a apeed of 100 miles an hour can be main tained with safety. The motive power Ih electricity. The ultimate objects of the com pany in the coiiHtruction of a quick line from lialtlmore to Washington. The secretary of the Interim has recently made a ruling which will result iu the roHiirvoying of huu iIioiIh of mineral claims in tint western HtateH ami territories. The ruling Ih hiiHt'd on an act of congresn passed last February, which requires that the description of lode claims ou surveyed lauds shall conform to the Hues nf the government survey, or, in other words, that the boundaries aud uiouumeutH which hhall be dis tinctly maikod, must be described so iih to iclate to the linos of putilic survey made by voverumeut on- glutMMS, so thai II will he nccussiiry houuiftor to run a line from the nearest corner of the otilclal survey, aud all couiliots will be adjusted thereby. Mi not til claim owners who wish to perfect their titles by patents will therefore be compelled to employ a deputy mineral surveyor again to complete the uirvey of their claims by icfereuce to the lines of the oltlcial survey, before patents will be allowed. That, of course, will not necessitate the changing of the true location or the boundary lines of claims. So many disputes have arisen con corning the removal of monuments .,- a. 1 1 wwnnmsmum .. fixed as anything can be in that line the Jaw is designed to fix the boundary line of lode claims, so that it may bo easy to dotrmiue, iu tho event of a contest, exactly where theso lines are, n" shown by the jsurvoy aud tho description.
