LAREDO TEXAS, October 6, 1888.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
Although / have heard no COM
plants suppose | must apologize
for not having given you the
weekly letter as | promised. All |
can offer is-the dearth of anything
interesting. 1t seems as if the people
here find it impossible to rouse them
selves from the lethargy into which
the hot, sultry summer has plunged
them.
Just within the last few days, how
ever, notice there are a great many
strangers in town, and in the cool
evenings the plaza begins to be used
as promenade by the young folks,
some Of whom are Americans. These
are easily distinguished by the occa-
sional merry laugh breaking in on the
otherwise monotonous silence. A coup
le of Mexicans would walk to and fro
for hours and any one three steps be-
hind them would never hear sound
except that made by their feet on the
gravel walk.
] had intended to run up to the coal
mines of tho Rio Grande & Pecos
railroad company before wrote
again, but one of their bridges was
washed out in the recent overflow, SO
that failed to make the trip. will
tell you, however, what | have learn
cd of those mines from men who have
worked in them, some of whom have
also, as / was glad to hear, worked
the Georges Creek" coal. The
mines are situated, the nearest So and
the other two about AZ miles from
this place. The first is a new open
ing, from which only sample coal
(semi- bituminous) has been taken as
yet. The vein varies in height from
81 to 7 feet in thickness, with foot
and-a half to two feet of soft fire clay
beneath and good "soapstone rock"
on top. The samples of the coal that
I have seen are superior in quality,
according to my limited Judgment, to
any l have seen since leaving home,
and parties who tested it at the mine
say it is the finest gas coal they ever
saw. l believe if the right people
get hold of these mines that all the
coal needed in this part of the country
can be taken from them. The com
pany now operating them are finan-
cially embarrassed, their miners have
not been paid for two months and
many of them have sold their time
checks for less than half value. 1t is
confidently asserted though by re-
liable parties that these checks and
all other outstanding debts of the com
dany aOiU be paid. The men make
from 1915 to $500 per day, the high
est wages being paid to the men in
headings, the lowest to laborers in the
shaft. Twill say in connection with
these remarks concerning the mines
that it would not be good policy for any
one to come here for work, las it is not to
he had. In few weeks or month
the new iron bridge over which the
International & Great Northern rail
road will cross into Mexico will be here
and the company will at once proceed
to place it in position. This will re-
ouire several months labor and a
large force Of men, and will naturally
make business heavier, at least during
the time it takes to put it up; but |,
with many others much more compe-

The Office of a Good Newspaper.

The Frostburg (Md) JOURNAL has
reached the twelfth year of its publ
cation. The editor, in referring to this
very good evidence that the JOURNAL
has taken root, modestly expresses the
hope Of "profting from experience and
improving upon the achievements of
the past" This, we may assure our
friend, is the wisdom of the true jour
nalist. The newspaper, of all other
things, must not stand still. There is
no measure for the development which
in a generation or two, is likely to
come to the mining region of Mary
land, and good newspaper is able to
promote the prosperity there as else
where of all the interests surrounding
it moro, perhaps, than any other single
agency in its midst.-Baltimoro San.

THE Washington Republican says; "Sen-
ator Joseph L. Brown, Of Georgia, received
letter not long ago from the trustees Of Bap-
list church at Meridian, Miss, informing him
that they were building a new house of wor-
ship and requesting his assistance in the work.
The Senator replied that he regretted exceed
ingly that he could not neglect his Senatorial
duties for length Of time sufficient to make
his services Of any value in the building Of the
church, besides which he feared that he was
but an indifferent stonemason, and that his
work would be bupgling at best. Under the
circumstances he could not do otherwise than
advise the trustees to employ some one nearer
home who could do better work for less
money than he could afford 10 do it. The
trustees are said to have since denounced the
suave Senator as q bogus Christian and an
unfeeling man. The Senator will be apt to
feel the wrath Of that society when he is nom
mated for the Vice Presidency"

that question an issue in the next presidential
election. They contend that their party is
stronger now than the old anti-slavey party
was at its commencement; they are sure they
won't succeed at the first or second trial, but
they propose TO persevere and to organize
national prohibition party. The prohibition
lists overlook the fact that in order to success
fully prevent the manufacture Of liquor they
must FIRST destroy the knowledge Of the art Of
makingt. So long as men want whisky they
are going to have It in defiance Of all laws
