The Galyeston Ners says Of Texas Sill
YER - We have already referred to recent
discoveries Of rich silver mines in some
half dozen counties Of Texas, with a reas.
ouable presumption that the rich ore win
ere long be found 10 many other counties
besides Gillespie, Mason, Llano, San Saba,
Mcnard, Ne. II has been stated that the
ore y found to yield $1,000 per ton, and
that, too within 100 miles Of the State
capital. This statement may need some
confirmation, but We believe there is no
doubt bat that the northwestern counties
Of Texas contain rich silver mines, some
Of which, IN San Saba, we're worked profit
ably more thsn . century ago.

P. Albaugh, have finished their work. While
engaged in assessing the property, they also
took the census, and they report as follows:
White males 1858, females 1865, total 2023 I;
eolored males 1872, females I55, total 2S7 ;
making total of23l0. By comparing ii with
the census of 1870 we find that there is a
decrease Of l6 whites, and an increase Of lG
co.Sred, which makes the aggregate number
the same. The decrease in whites arises
from the fact that many of our young men
have left and gone into business elsewhere,
while the increase in the colored population
has been made BY accessions from other places.
