DRUGS

No branch of business in this city has grown
more rapidly in the last year than that OF drugs.
Dealers have shown cOmmCndablc energy in
pushing their trade into every portion of the
state, aud to-day there is hot another wholesal-
ing point in Texas that can boast of as large
shipments in his line as Dallas. One prime
reason for this ilatering result is the low prices
at which sales are effected here, and dealers are
at all times willing to duplicate any bills made
IN any other city in the west without consider
inc freights. The quotations below are revised

PR0SPECTORS' LCCk.

Three years ago NJ. Dunkin located
at Leadville the mine which still
bears his name. He was poor, but
he worked faithfully and hard in
hopes that he would strike mineral,
but his money gave out and he sold
his interest for $4,000. The purchas-
ers, after spending qnite a large sum
in sinking another shaft on the prop
erty, which failed to disclose. mineral,
returned to that in which Dunkin
had buried his hopes, and in sinking
seven feet farther struck pay ore.
The mine was sold year later for
1915, 900.
An old-timer who was among the
early arrivals at Rosita located the
Pioneer, and sank a shaft I23 feet
deep, He subsequently located the
Chieftain, adjoining the Leavenworth
and sold it for S. in twenty years
time. The sum is not yet due.
Before selling he offered to give it
to Captain Lambert of the Pueblo
Chieftain, from which paper The mine
derived Its name, but the Captain
declined the gift. The same pros.
pector discovered the Humboldt,
Pocohontas, Leviathan and Invinci-
BILE mines, all of which he gave to a
man to whom he was indebted in a
paltry sum. The first three named
have since yielded 100000, and
bid fair to produce twice that sum
in the future, while the old timer is

CORRECTION.

EDITOR GAzE1TE.-I wish to cor
rect statement made in your issue
Of the 18th, in regard to G. w.
Lagln the. young man who attempted
suicide at this place. I am reliably
informed that he has never been
subject to fits Of insanity, this being
the first attack. The facts in the
case are these he came down here
from camp to spend Christmas and
was sick when he came with some
thing like the bilious fever, and was
confined to the house for several
days. When he got well enough to
60 about town he went to drinking
and the fit of insanity was undoubted;
ly caused by the use of liquor when
his system vas erfeebled by disease:
He has made many friends here who
sympathize with him and hope for
his speedy recovery.

A MODERN DRAMA.

The radiant rays OF an afternoon
sun were shedding sheen of bright
light DER all around, when afar of
might have been seen an elegantly
attired, exquisitely dressed lady,
leisurely walking henceward. A sweet
kindly smile illumined her fine face
A loving light, soft and assuring,
beamed from her beautiful eyes. AT
= glance it was to be seen that she
was womanly woman, possessed OF
that ever triumphant trio of traits,
lovely, loliny and lovable.
A few squares from her, just hid
from sight around the corner, was a
wd-haired, dirty-faeed, quick-eyed,
ragged, unambitious, bad little boy.
He chewed tobacco more naturally,
effectively and industriouslv than
ever a COW chewed her cud. He was
on the watch. AS he peeped around
the corner and saw the lady ap
preaching, he began t, distort his
ft atures, spit upon his finger and
streak the dirt upon his face so as to
give him the appearance of being in
great distress.
The lady sees him. He doesn't
see her, of course not. He painfully,
arduously continues onward. AS he
nears her, his distress unconsciously
increases. Yet it is suppressed. The
kind, good lady stops him. Sympa-
thy and charity are written all over
her face. lie knows it, though his
eyes are sobbingly shut. The lady
inquiries the cause of his dire distress.
Slowly, sobbingly, almost unwill-
ingly, he tells her. His poor sick
mother, very sick, sent him for tea
for herself. A big boy caught him
and took the money away. His heart
is broken. He cannot face his sick,
very sick mother. lie wants to die,
indeed he does. By more inquiry
the lady learns that the lads life is
one of woe as is that of his poor
mother. She takes the number of
the miserable tenement where he
lives. hands him a dollar and hastens
to his mother.
The boy hastens, too. He hastens
around the first corner he comes TO.
He hastens to well known alley,
and, whistles. Another and bigger
boy soon appears, running. The
little sufferer calls out: "Hi, Bill, |
worked her for dollar Let's make
for the circus" The big boy seems
to take the matter cody, as a matter
of course. He evidently has been
there before.
The kind good lady never found
the little sufferers ve:y sick mother.
In her heart, she has often wished
she could find the little sufferer him.
self. She thinks she could make it
interesting for him.-Ex.

use he could put SO rough stone.
He replied, 'There is an angel in this
stone and I must get it ont.'' Under
his hand it became noble work Of
art.
In obscure places covered with the
rubbish of bad habit and neglect pre-.
senting rough, unfovefy exterior,
the pure white marble of human char
acter lies concealed.
The teacher with the true artists
comprehension di' covers what to
others is hidden, sees in the mind of
every child the possibilities for q
grandly developed manhood or
womanhood. With the image of
what may be before him, he chisels
with patience, letouching here and
there, again and again, till symmetry
is the result, and he has accomplished
more than did Angelo in the marble,
as his material is imperishable and he
has produced the reality, of which the
image is the semblance. He has
given to it an impetus which shall
lead it forever onward, impressed it
with charity that rever varies and
benevo'ence embracing all mankind;
kindled the spark of vivacity within
till the light of angelic purity plays
about the brow, and gright-actions
stamp its impress on the ennobled
nature.-Statesman.
