The enumeration of social Organi-
cations given, together with those OF
religious and scholastic nature, will
readily suggest to the reader the ex-
istence of permanent organization
of society in our city, in contradis-
tinction to that unsettled state which
characterizes new towns in western
states, whose futures are not well
assured. Here, any form of social
custom or habit to which the conner
from the older states has been accus-
toned, will find appropriate compa-
nv. Waco has all TIE advantages,
religious or social, which maintains
in cities in the older states, while
possessing an unbounded field OF
business and scope for the develop
ment of struggling energy, which
belongs appropriately to a new coun-
try. The crystalyzation of people in
t. societies and orders is the real
unification, which constitutes society,
and from which permanence alone l.
assured. Waco and McLennan com
ty offers an advanced stage of socie
ty. with all implied therein, togethe
with the flourishing business natura
to new county aud rich lands, a

cational privileges, refinement, tast'
and elegance characterizes our cit,
and q vast business gives it vitality

A comparison of the increase of
taxable property for the Eve years
ending December 81, 1877. shows an
increase of S2,sss,s7s for the FIVE
comprised years an sccretion of
$3.50 2-S per cent.
As property is DOW assessed At at
least 50 per cent. less than in 1872,
the real gain in taxable property
composed on the basis Of that year
has been 81 % per cent.
The increase in population during
that time Is within q fraction Of 100
per cent. The discrepancy between
the ratio of increase of property
and population, is readily accounted
for by the immigration Of persons OF
very moderate means. e. - ~
A most gratifying feature, and one
well worthy the attention Of persons
seeking homes in Texas, is the radi-
cal decrease in the rate of taxation
from 81 II l-2 per hundred in 1872
to 81 90 in 1873, decrease Of more
than 100 per cent. At the same time
during those i've years under reyis-
ION public improvements have been
made TO a very large amount.

THE RED JACKET MINE.

Its Location and Prospects-The
Present Stage Of the Develop
ments.
For some days past men have
been at work overhauling the ma
chinery of the Red Jacket mine,
preparatory to starting it up, and
work will probably be resumed in a
few days. The Red Jacket is one of
the most promising pieces of mining
ground In this section. 1t is located
about 700 or 800 feet east of the
railroad tunnel, on American Flat,
and is 23OOx6O0 feet. The ledge
crops out south of the railroad track,
but the collar of the shaft is situated
fully 1926 feet, perpendicular meas
urement, below the groupings, the
works being in American ravine, at
the base of the high railway embank-
ment seen from this city. The i'm
provements consist in an incline sunk
seventy-two feet on the ledge from
the base Of the ravine, frst-class
three-compartment shaft, which has
attained depth of over 200 feet, and
which is substantially timbered from
top to bottom, and drift about 100
feet in length at the bottom of the
shaft. On the surface an engine,
hoisting-rig of sufficient capacity to
sink 600 or700 feet, a carpenter shop,
a blacksmith shop, and storchouse
are located. The shaft is perfectly
dry, the ground having been drained
by the Justice pumps, only 22OO feet
away. In the drift at the bottom of
the shaft four-foot ledge of ore
avrag;ng $50 per ton was cut into,
and Mr.. Blackburn, the Superintend-
emf, is confident that he can develop
a paying mine by sinking 100 feet
deeper. The formation encountered
in the shaft and drift is birdseye
porphyry of the true Comstock char
acter, and this fact is accepted as
proof that if the Red Jacket is not
on the Comstock it is in a similar for
nation.
The Red Jacket was first located by
James Blackburn, the present Super
intendent, in April, 1872. Some time
after it was incorporated as the South
Consolidated Virginia, and the i'm
provements aforementioned were
made upon it. Then came a period
of depression, when the company
were compelled to suspend operations.
Recently it was determined to re-
sumo work, and, in order to avoid
any future complications, the claims
were relocated and decided to the
Red Jacket company.

DO Holding Work.

Holders of mining ground in this
vicinity should not neglect to do
upon it the work necessary to hold it
for another year. In view of the
impending revival Of interest in the
claims in this neighborhood, there
are doubtless many persons on the
watch, ready to relocate jumpable
claims. and unless the holding work
is done upon them, they will infal-
liby be relocated.

In order to suitably commemorate
the strike in the Cherokee mine,
Philip Geyer invites all who feel so
disposed to go to the works tomorrow

glass of beer to the prosperity of the
mine. He will supply all the beer
that will be required, and all the pay
which will be demanded of anybody
will be that they do not obstruct the
work. + ........r
