The Texas and Pacific Railway.

A late number of the Philadelphia Press
contains the following:
Colonel Thomas A. Scott and the direc-
tors of Texas and Pacific railway have been
the recipients of royal reception in Cali
fornia, betting the the great enterprise of
which he and they are the advance leaders,
and Tiyaiing the kindness, courtesy and
hospitality with which they were welcomed
to Texas.
These gentlemen progress from both ends
Of their road triunphantly, and with the
entire confidence and hearhest support of
the people whose country they come to de
yeIOp and enrich: From the character of
the directors and the reputation Of the
president-his brains, pluck and persis-
tency-they had every reason to believe
that the work of building the road would
be carried forward more rapidly than that
OF the similar great enterprises that we
have seen. completed in the last decade,
with marvellous energy unequaled even
in this age of wonders. There will, it is
true, be no competitor over the Texas and
Pacific for government b0unties, no racing
for the prInCely subsidy of $4,000 mile,
but there will be every incentive that the
richest cerealpr0ducing soil to mines of
gold and fields of diamonds, where the
rigor OF our Northern winters and the heat
of the summers are both equally unknown.
The Texas and Pacific road will be under
way and progressing toward completion
With an every day acceIerating momentum
in less than a tweIvemonth. 1t will serve
double purpose in developing one of the
richest sections of the country and in help
ing to restore prosperity and peace to the
South. Every one of these lines opened
will be not only new channel for trade,
but a new artery OF national life, forming
a closer relationship and reciprocity of in

Al nunantic story.

The Caotroyille argus relates story,
Enthusiastically, of a mining discovery
made IN the mountains back of Monterey
which reads like romance, though vottehed
for as a veritable history. Fifty years ago
a Mexican was recommended by the Indians
to repair to a certain hot spring, located as
above, whose waters were ettcaci0us IN the
cure of rheumatism. with which his wife,
Maria Romero, was afflicted. Having had
experience as a miner, he found silver
ledge, specimens of the rock from which
assayed as high as $4,000. He then started
for Lower California, to induce some of his
cOuntrymen to engage with him i'll working
the vein. While. on the journey he was
taken sick and died. His widow gathered
her children about her, and worked the
mine crudely for some time in secret, realiz~
ing handsome gains, when she went also to
Lower California and died. Years rolled
away, and the circumstances were all
forgotten. A Mexican lad, who was en-
gagged as a game-keepef to party OF
hunters, stumbled across the ledge and
worked it for some time, using his skill as
practiced ieweler in manufacturing from
the silver, belt buckles, rosettes etc. He
finally consented to lead party of Ameri.
cans to the spot, but before he could aC-
accomplish his purpose, he also died. DIR.
Alderman set to work to discover the sur
viving Romero children, who were scattered,
and In the meantime had grown to be men
He was successful and gaining a clew to
the lost mine, started out, accompanied by
his brother and a few Others, and found it.
He returned to Monterey few days ago
with specimens of the ore, which was esti-
mated to assay as high as $1,000 to the ton.
The vein is considered exceedingly rich,
and the ore found to be easily redueible.
The doctor considers his fortune made, as
the mine is only between thirty and forty
miles from Monterey, in an accessible 10

Sne choicest romance of the season qias

Away Blown in the So.

The submarine Investigations carried on
at government expense, under the direction
of the British Association Of Science, have
disclosed some most interesting facts in re-
gard to the bottom of the sea.
These researches have been carried on by
means of a simple dredge-a rectangular
iron frame, forming the mouth Of bag of
netting, which is protected from wear BY a
leather or canvas flap. The whole appara-
tus, attached to rope Of suitable length,
is dropped to the bottom of the sea, and Is
dragged along to a certain distance, scrap
ing off the superficial layer of mud and sand
into the bag, the meshes of which permit
the dirt to be washed through, while the
larger substances are retained and brought
up.
TIE depth at which the bottom of the sea
has been thus explored has been really
enormous amounting in one instance to
more than three miles, far exceeding that of
any previous experiment with the thedge,
th0sgn small quantities Of sea bottom have
been brought up from equally great dis
tances from the surface BIZ means 81 the

CONSUMPTION.
Our spinners have had another active
year. They opened the season well stocked
(about 50, 600 bales in excess of the previous
year,, according to the returns of the Man
utacturerS' Association, and they close it
according to the opinion of those best in
formed in the New York market) very bare
Of stock, though the best authorities at
Boston claim that spinners are a present
well supplied, holding within 10000 bales
OF the stock of last year In our statement
below we have taken an average of these
adverse opinions, and give the stock of the
mills at a decrease Of 10000 bales from
1871, when it was as we have stated, SO, 600
above the average. Consumption in the
North during the latter part of 1871 was
very large, to the full capacity of every
spindle, and some over hours. For months
the average of yarn was about the same as
IN 1871 and 1870. Later, as cotton adj
vanced, profits were best on light goods,
and the average was lightened where the
mills We're fitted for the change. Full work
was, however, generally continued through
the year, but in few mills time was short
ened to five days or four days, the last two
months Of the cotton year AS a result of
the twelve months the average of yarn has
been somewhat lighter than in 1901, but
more was produced and with the extra
hours early in the season, the full work of
all until near the close, and the increase of
spindles, consumption has increased as will
be seen below. There has also been a con-
siderable addition to the consumption in
the South. We have no exact returns on
this point, though after a correspondence
with those who are well informed with
regard 10 the matter, we have adopted the
average Of the opinions furnished u.s. An |
other year we hope to obtain more exact |
on this point by returns from the |
mills themselves. Below will be found our
