Tbe difficulties originated almost six
mouth ago, when Beers Brothers, of
New York city, failed to meet tbeir
mining obligation. The wage of the
miner were in arrears and an attach
ment waa made against the property to
secure the debt. Monnig & Bailey,
who held a claim against Beer Broth
er, paid off the attachment aud took
charge of the'mine and have since been
operating it
In the past mouth a big strike of
mineral waa made. It is claimed by
the friend of Beer Brother that Mon
nig & Bailey long ago paid off it in
debtedness. Last week Beer Brother
offered to pay that firm any balance
due them. At first this seemed agree
able and the Beer people were given
possession of the mine, but last nigbt
Monnig & Bailey took forced posses
sion, threatening to annihilate anyone
who attempted to eject them from it.
No legal action has been taken a
yet, and neither side seems to favor
such an action a they claim that the
law will be too slow. Tbe mine is one
of the best in this country. The aver
age value of ore is f SO per ton.

Trouble Salil to Be Brewing In the Veil-

London, April 23. A dispatch from
Washington to the Timea says the Ven
ezuela dispute is still in a daugerous
state, and that no agreement as to prin
ciples has been reached.
"Negotiations between England and
the United States," say the correspon
dent, "are at a standstill, and nobody
know how the deadlock will be re
moved. England reject the plan I
explained iu February (for the submis
sion of the dispute to a joint oom mis
sion.)" It ia laid Lord Salisbury will not
overcome hia repugnance to the possible
reference ot the dispute to arbitration.
Instead of ooutiuuing the negotiation,
Lord Salisbury submitted an unaccept
able draft of, a general arbitration
treaty, from which it is understood
the Venezuela dispute is excluded.
"Thi delay ia most perilous. Tb
Washington executive atill shows a
strong desire for an honorable and
reasonable agreement; but it takes
two to make a treaty." The Times
say in an editorial, that it cannot
share to the full extent the gloomy an
ticipation of it correspondent in
Washington regarding Venezuela, and
think Lord Salisbury' non-acoeptanoe
of America' overture does not amount
to an absolute rejection.
