required Is energy and capital to de-
velop LeadYille In Texas and in Pre-
sidio county. There is no gainssying
the success of the parties now pros
pecting in the Chinah mountains. My
delay in not giving you the items in
regard to this excitement has been
wholly attributable to the fact that you
desire nothing but reliable information,
and till could give that, have re-
Trained from saying anything at all.
The facts in regard to the assays made
so for are these: The surface crop
pings haYe developed from $50 to $50
per ton. A shaft is now being sunk in
one of the leads, and to the depth OF
eight feet. It has yielded fifty-two
dollars to the ton, and it is confidently
expected that q few feet further
down, and that amount will be
doubled. Now the experiments thus
far made show that the deeper the
shaft the greater the yield. In 9 few
days I will give you further facts and
figures in this matter. Suffice it to say
that Presidio Is destined TO be the
wealthiest county in this State in q
very short time. There are at present
about 400 people in the Chinatl noun
tains, including soldiers, great many
of whom take as much interest in the
mines az any one else.

Among the travelinp compsnies o,

Among the travelling companies on
the road this season is the Brooklyn
Praying band. The band Is composed
of ten young men, who have formed q
combination for evangelical purposes,
and travel from city to city to convert
the heather of their own country.
They have found field at home and
they occupy it and work in manner
similar to that adopted by the Saliva
ton army in England and Wales. The
several members of the Praying band
are Dutch reformed, Congregational
lists, Methodists and Presbyterians, who
have sunk all differences of creed in
the common work. Their methods are
similar to those of Methodist camp
meeting Standardization, prayer
and praise. They go among classes
that the churches cannot reach, and
propose to convert people who are too
wicked for the ordinary preacher to at
feet. After services they pass round
the hat. The Praying band are now in
New York among the seven-story tene-
ment houses.
