1t has labored faithfully for the interest of
the county, and the people have appreciated
it,
Thus speaks the Kyle Nutshell man OF
his paper. His own 'labors," as is well
known, have been of different sort, and
mainly outside of his Office. AS to the ap'
probation of the people, we know they
highly appreciated his departure from this
place. We happen to know TOO, that the bet
ter class of people at Kyle would also hal
his exit from that place with delight They
justly regard his paper as worse than none
for the interest and credit of their town
They would doubtless give him moreto "ge
up and git" than for any other purpose
He is, we believe, fair printer, but YER,
much disinclined to work at his trade, while
he lacks all the qualifications for editing
paper with any degree of credit We thinl
therefore the State government at Austin
since it is so much inclined to help him
would act more consistently by giving
him some suitable position there
than by giving its advertising to
paper of merely nominal circulation. The.
would also thus entitle themselves to tn
hearty thanks of their friends about Kyle
and of the whole newspaper fraternity o
Texas, by such an act of special and gen
eral relief to suffering community ant

JEROME EDDY
SOLD FOR
5000.
Henry C. Jewett & Co., Of Aurora
New York, the Lucky Ruyers.

For the first time in the history Of
Michigan a horse bred on her soil
has been sold for the enormous sum
of $4,000. This good fortune has
fallen to Messrs. Dewey & Stewart,
proprietors of the now world-renown.
ed Owosso Breeding Stables, in the
sale of the King Of the Turf, JEROME
EDDY, to Henry c. Jewett & Co,
proprietors Of the Jewett Breeding
Stables and Stock Farm, at Aurora,
New York. AS might be expected
the receipt of this news in our city
on Wednesday afternoon caused in
tense excitement and numerous con-
CALCULATIONS were extended to Messrs.
Dewey & Stewart. These gentlemen
have labored hard and long to place
Owosso at the front in the horse
breeding department, and now that
success has crowned their labors, the
public are proud to recognize it as a
triumph worthy of the determined
and persistent effort it has cost.
As the result of this sale Jerome
Eddy is for the time being, at least,
taken from the track to be placed at
the head of the stud OF Jewett & Co.,
which prior to this time has consisted
of nine noted stallion, with Rochester
and Black Henry at the head. No
bad luck attending the horse, there
does not seems to be doubt that the
purchase of Jerome will prove as
valuable and profitable an investment
to his present proprietors as he has
to Dewey & Stewart and to this end
they certainly have the best wishes of
the horse breeders of Owosso.

Yankee Girl Ore.

From the Durango Herald.
A Herald reporter recently paid his respects
to the famous Yankee Girl mine in Red
Mountain. lie brought back with him a
specimen of the ore from the gray copper
strike in the shaft which has been sunk from
the main tunnel The writer personally
broke the fragment off from the solid forma-
ton. The intelligent foreman of this Won
derful mine informed us ut the time that the
specimen was not high grade ore as most
of that which was being taken out, but it
pleased our fancy on account of a beautiful
streak of peacock copper running through it,
and hence we lugged it TO Durango. We ex-
hibited it to several experts in minerals, and
casually observed that it came from recent
rich strike and would probably run some 500
ounces to the ton, but did not say whence it
really came No one seemed to credit it our
assertions. Finally, in the presence Of sew
ersl wcll.informed and incredulous mining
experts. the Gar of North Durango said he
would wager Ave dollar that the ore would
not ASSAY 500 This wager was instantly
covered and It was agreed that A. y. Knight
should have the same assayed by Morse x
Reynolds and umpire the bet. The returns
were received this morning, and Mr.. Fass-
binder lost no time in ordering the stakes to
he turned over to the innocent Herdii scribe.
The specimen ran 1907 ounces of silver, or
81 .43a.7. to the ton without being tested for
gold or copper. Such is the new strike in the
Yankee Girl. We hasten to amend our fig
ures ON the Yankee Girl. In our judgment
in this light of this test, the mine is easily
worth $, 100000.

And on would the husbandmnn growl and lament:
Yet still he worked on, with heart unconhding,
Vexa,ion his portion, instead of content.

The outlook for the state.

} rom the Denver Irlbunc.
II is unques,iosably fact that Colorado
produced sufficient. wheat and hay last year
for home use Such a result is exceedingly
gratifying, especially when the great increase
in population is considered. Unless some
untoward disaster comes to the crops planted
this year, we shall once again chronicle the
same happy termination. The spring rains,
although the cause of much complaint from
city folks and strangers, are of immense BEN
eft to the cereals, ami gladden. the hearts of
the farmers with prospective large crops,
raised with little expense for irrigation.
As the days 20 by and returns are received
from the various mining camps of the State,
we see no reason to reduce the estimate of the
present years output, Gleriously is every
section responding to the glad tidings of in
creased prosperity. From Teller on the
north to Durango on the south, from Boulder
On the east to Un-a-weep ON the west, no
other sound is heard than tha, of new strikes
rich developments, enlarged product, unusual
activity. The crops may fail, the cattle sick
en- and die, but grand mineral resources
will even then increase over any past year
the wealth obtained within the borders of the
Centennial State. This is no vain-glorious
statement but one that the facts, ever recur-
ring, force upon any thinking citizen who
reads and takes an interest in the mines. The
close Of the present year will witness more
poor prospec,ors in a,iiuent circumstances
than has ever been recorded in our mining
annals. The rich are increasing their hoards
the poor getting rich.

New Jersey went to the religious feast at At

place in college race was that they had all
the blood sucked out of them by the Jersey

the mosquitoes were in league with the dealers

men took mosquitoes, put them in boxes, tat
tened them, and then turned them loose in
