known he rapidly rose to good posses-
sion and high in social prominence. For
number of years be was Councilman and
served mis- constituents honorably and ell.
In all his walks he was ever a respectable
and polished gentleman and his death will
be deeply regretted among his Cairo
friends and by the large number of Padu-
cahans who knew him in his younger days
as well as those who in later years formed
his acquaintance. His loss to his family
will be irreparabe and in the great Attic
tons their friends will extend them earnest
sympathy,
"a wife and four children, a sister, Mrs.
McGauley, of Cairo, and two brothers, Mr..
Frank Pettt, Of Denison, Tex, and Mr..
Clarence Petit, of Cairo, and some distant
relatives are left to mourn the death of
most aiIectionate husband father and bro,
tber. To them the News extends its con-
dolence.

the deceased was consistent member.
Services with High Mass will be conducted
by Rev. Father Jansen, Of the church here.
The interment will be at Mt. Carmel Gem

at Sl2, O00, 900, which seems a vast sum
for Texas, but when II is considered
that the mining property isa belt from
forty TO sixty miles In width, IL will
have room for full exercise. At pres
emit, but little ore is being disturbed,
the large force of men being employed
in building water-tanks, dwellings and
store-houses and in making general
improvements The force is being in
creased as fast as accommodation can
be arranged, and with diamond drills
and steam power they are finding an
abundance of water by boring for it.
II is very difficult to say, or even con-
lecture, what amount Of copper Is to
be found there. One OF the experts,
Mr.. A. j. WomelsdOrf of Pennsylva-
mia, in his official report says: "I have
never yet examined mining estate
that compares with your property in
magnitude and value and possessing
30 fully the requirements Of great
and profitable enterprise.n another
place he says: ~ am satiefied there
are over Ave hundred thousand tons
of copper ore in sight,n The demand
for copper increases almost daily. The
telegraph companies of late years are
using copper wires for their trunk
lines, and an excellent quality Of roof.
ing is being made from it. With the
demand there is for copper and the
immense profits to be made on pro.
ducing 1t, there can be no doubt but
that this syndicate will push the
work rapidly. This section of Texas
will soon blossom as rose. With the
advent OF thousands of miners will
also appear small formers who will
make a competency by raising such
products rs can be sold at
the mining camps. Wherever people
congregate on the rich soil of Texas,
wealth and plenty abound. En-.
enlargement should be given this
mining company, for when they open
up operations on the extensive scale
contemplated by the directory, either
the Fort Worth d Denver will ex.
tend or spur viii be built from
Albany to serve them; in either event
Fort Worth will have so many NOR,
people to supply snd 80 much more
money to make each year. General
Mcclellan is perhaps one of the mos
eminent public men Of the country
and 3 report from his hand means
more than idle talk or airy speculation

The Oo}T er B T exas.

A pamphlet has been issued by the
Grand Belt Copper company, a cor
poration organized under the laws of
the state Of New York and the out
growth of the Consolidated Copper
syndicate ofNew York. 1t sets forth
the results of the three years expert
ments of mining experts and the re :
port OF Gen, George b. Mcclellan, who
made u personal and thorough inspec.
ton OF the company property, which
consists OF copper mines in Knox,
King, Stonewall and Hardeman
counties in the Northwestern part Of
Texas. From th'se reports II Is evil
dent that deposits OF fabulous worth
are TO be found almost on top of che
ground. The ore has been tested by
eminent assaylsts, time and again, and
from different sections and parts OF the
property, and each test showed IL TO be
Of superior quality. Gen. Mcclellan
advises, and the syndicate contem-
plates, the erection, at an early day, OF
smelters In Hardeman county with a
capacity of handling 1000 tons daily.
The syndicate has selected Hardeman
county because it is the nearest point to q
railroad, being sixty-five miles from
Albany on the Texas & Pacific and
