Texas Newspapers.
IFrom lhe Jenerson pemocrnt.1

The mortality among newspapers
within the last two years, has been so
great that ii does not indicate very
considerable degree of enterprise among
those communities that have allowed
themselves, without an effort, to be de-
prived Of their press. This is truth,
that many excellent newspapers have
been forced to suspend just at a time,
when, if properly supported, they
would have been most beneficial.
The great trouble in this country is,
that the people fail to justly appreciate
the press. \ custom ruinous in its ten
dency, by which the people are led to
look on newspapers as not worthy II
living patronage, yet bound under Il
penalty of eternal condemnation to
watch with argus eyes their every
interest seems to prevail. Mer-
chants whose patronage alone con-
tributes to the existence of u daily
paper in this country, where the sub
scripton at best is but 1.-THE toward
supporting it, advertise just as if the
comparatively small patronage they
give would yield them neither income
nor profit. Again, vast number of
business men do not advertise at all.
We do not propose to try to convince
this class OF our rreaders of the truth
that the mere matter of advertising in
good paper will pay them, aside from
any other consideration. Some of
them know that it will, and those who
do not believe it, are impossible to con-
vince.
The experience of most newspaper
men in Texas is that few of her cities
have supported their daily newspapers.
Many of them have eked out misera-
bic existence for q year or two, and
then either bankrupted or changed
hands-in the latter case for some c0ur-
ageOus man to make arenewed attempt,
only to meet with the same fate.
Just as newspapers are supported
they are enterprising and they go out
from their place of publication, their
appearance indicating their local sur
roundings. The business men of the
rising young cities of Texas will sooner
or later learn these facts, and those
who first discover what their newspa-
pers are commercially, politically and
socially, and who give them a liberal
support, will sooner profit by being
represented by newspapers that will be
an influence of immense benefit to
them at home and abroad.
Merchants and all advertisers should
think of these things and if the last
few years have proven, with few excep-
lions, II series of abortive results in
newspaper enterprises, is it not time to
consider chow much they can lay out
for their press annually, in considera-
ton of its Importance" Let this be
done and deserving journals can live
and do good.

II lisa source of qualification to be
able to chronicle the fact that there has
been a steady increase in membership
of all of our various denominations.
DR.. Smith, pastor OF the Presbyterian
church, has in very short time built
up a large congregation by his energy
and eloquence. The Rev. Mr.. Easter
ling, of the Methodist church, can
point to a goodly harvest from the
years work. Father Martiniere, of
the Catholic church, has been indefat-
igable in the noble and pious work of
adding to his church, and helping on
the convent. General Gano, Of the
Christian church, has been of good
service to his denomination. His elo-
quence aud zeal, like his knightly
courage in war, have made their moral
and religious mark.
The Rev. Mr.. Weaver, of the Baptist,
and the Rev. Mr.. Davenport, of the
Episcopal church, have also added
many souls to their already full 1locks.

PROFESSOR S. b. BUCKLEY, state
geologist, publishes in the Statesman,
Il brief report of what his agricultural
and geological survey has accom-,
plishcd. We make therefrom the fol,
lowing extract:
We have ascertained and shall prove
| beyond question, that Texas has vast
deposits of iron and coal two things
which more than any others will, il
properly used, give wealth and pros.
perity to Il state. In addition to the
brown Goals of central and eastern
Texas we have f0Qnd the bituminous
Goals of the regular ..soarboniterous
period to be better and in much larger
quantities than is generally supposed.
SO LARGE are these, that we unhesitat-
ingly announce that Texas has enough
good coal for all practical purposes for
ages to come. The coal fields Of Young
and adjacent counties extend south
ward and westward through Stephens,
Callahan, Easilan, Coleman, Brown,
Lampasas, CGncho, McCulloch, into
San Saba, Llano and Burnet counties.
This is an immense coal region, three
times larger than we supposed was in
Texas when we began our laborS last
spring. Throughout this region we
know that there arc large beds of coal,
some of WHICH are now being worked
and used 10y blacksmiths aud found to
be of an exccllect qualify. Many
specimens of these Goals we have OBJ
tanned for the state collection.
AT the east, at the west, aud ut the
I,n1 ,lat,Iu of thn hn.t #
iron ores. No well informed citizen
doubts this. She also has an abund-
ance of salt and gypsum.
We have found the copper legion to
have a wider and longer range than is
generally imagined, extending from
the south through Young and 1hrock-
morton counties northward beyond the
Red river, aud from the western part
of Montague westward into Haskell
county, and still onward and westward
farther than we went. Copper ore is
not being sent north from this region
to be smelted, as was published this
summer. A few tons were thus sent
last winter, which were said to barely
pay expenses.
We are sorry to be compelled to say
that the silver mines of Llano county
are not as rich as has been represented.
No paying mines are being worked
there. nor could we learn that even one
ton of silver ore obtained in Llano
county has been smeltcd during the
last twenty years. On the other hand,
much useless labor has been done in
places where it is folly todig for silver.
We have seen lead and silver ores OBJ |
tanned i'm other countries, and have no |
doubt but that Texas will prove TO be !
very rich in those two metals, but we |
expect they will be mostly found in
he region westward from Llano
county.
In Llano county We found plenty of
good roofing state. also marble steat-
tie, or soapstone, little gold, consid-
'rable copper, some coal, many clear
iprings and streams of excellent wa
er, and much glorious scenery of
rocks, valleys anI rivers
Our collections of specimens from
'arious parts of the state are very
arge, both OF minerals aud fossils. u
