The practice of early campaigns is q
survival OF the era when there were no

COPPER IN TEXAS.
F4;story of the Discovery of the McC1e
Ian Mining Claims

History of the Discovery of the McC1el.
Ian Mining Claims
According to Texas newspaper. the
copper region of that State is of great
extent, running westward from Red
River. from the line of the Indian
Territory. through several counties.
prominent among which are Archer.
BAYLOR, Knox, HardemaL. and Cottle.
The district is approximately in lati-
tude thirty-two degrees north. with
Red River to the north as well as the
east. and the Brazos River to the
south. The copper deposits were dis
covered by General George B. McClel-
Ian in 1852. In that year, Mcclellan.
then a Lieutenant in the army, was de-
tailed by Jefferson Davis, Secretary of
War, to accompany an expedition up
Red River into Texas and Indian Ter
ritory. While on this duty Lieutenant
Mcclellan found important deposits of
rich cooper ore near the point where
Cache Creek empties into the river.
and some miles above it was discovered
that Red River flowed through appar.
emily solid beds of the valuable min
eral. In the same locality rich gold
bearing qusrtz veins and placers were
found. and all the conditions pointed to
the existene of mining district
| of great possibilities. To complete
the romantic history of the
| discovery of copper in Texas.
| it Is only necessary to add that
| General Mcclellan is now, after the
| Iapse of a third of a century, the lead
ing spirit engaged in the development
of the deposits. The Grand Belt Mines,
in which heis largely interested, are
| ffty miles fpm Harold, in Wilbarger
| County, from which latter point forty
| wagons are t present engaged in haul
| ing coke to ne smelter. The smelter is
an experiment. but has a capacity of
forty tons pr day, and is suitably pro-
yided with egine. blower, pumps, etc.
All told, theMcClellan Company's pat
ented claims embrace some $4,000
acres, stretching sixty-five miles along
the ore belt. Upon this vast property
they have mde probably sixty shallow
openings of n average depth of seven
or eight feet The ore is TO nd princi-
ally in shabw pockets, and at the
main point taking out is said to av-
erage about fifty-four or fifty-five per
cent. NETS all copper. Some of it is
supposed to very rich in silver. The

THE JUDICIAL HEAD DROPPED.

/
The Way in Which President Cleveland
| leo.
| MIR. Cleveland apparently believes
| that the business of President Is to
supervise the administration of the
Federal Government, and not to rum
State elections. The White House has
seldom had an incumbent who paid
such close attention to the proper du-
ties of an executive and who was so
prompt to exercise his prerogatives
when occasion required. There is some
thing refreshing about the summary
way in which he brought to book one
of his appointees in New Mexico. a
few months ago the President was per-
suaded. upon the strength of hearty in
dorsements, to make William A. Vim
cent Chief-Justice of New Mexico. al
though it afterward came out that Vim
cent was concerned in a land con-
troversy in that Territory some time
ago, in the course of which he was inn
prisoned for contempt of court News
reached Washington that he had ap-
pointed Steve" Dorsey one Of the
three Commissioners to draw grand
and petit jurors for the Territory, al
though Dorsey VIGOROUSLY has many
disputed land claims pending in the
courts, and was thus given the power
to pick out his tools as jurors. Upon
learning these facts Mr. Cleveland
promptly suspended Vincent, and his
judicial career is undoubtedly ended.
There is no part of the Federal service
which needs closer watching than that
in the Territories, and an object-lesson
such as the President has given in the
Vincent case will do an immense
amount of good--N Y Post

A Civil-Service Oversight.

Attention is called by the New York
San to the singular truth that under the
operation OF the Civil-Service reform
system ordinary clerks are required to
prove the:r fitness by passing rigid ex-
aminations, whereas the autocratic
Commissioners who have charge of he
whole matter are chosen without any
test whatever, and according to the
personal preference of the man in the
White House. The explanation prob
ably lies in the fact that when the sys-
tenn was established the contingency
of Democratic National victory was
not considered, and the Lawmakers
supposed that the appointment of the
Commissioners would always be in the
hands of a Republican President. ST

A Method of Feminine Adornment Which
Does Not Lose Its Popularity.
1t was predicted that ruchings for
neck and sleeve ~finishings would go out
of style, but they are too becoming to-
decrease in popularity, especially with
ladies whose neck and hands need the
softening influences of the ruching;
those with edge lines of gold or tinser
are worn, also the pretty ruchings of
crepe lisse.
With dressy toilettes, plated ruches
of pale pink, lilac, cream Or blue silk
Grape are worn; they are usually fas-
tened at one side with a bow of ribbon,
a jeweled ornament or a spray Of nat
ural flowers, and sometimes a hand
some finish of rich lace falls below the
plating.
The most distingue neck-finishings
consist of double folds of crepe lisse.
etamine, silk gauze and gold and silver
tulle, canvas Or muslin. These folds
are made in white and cream, gold and
silver, or gold with red, pink, blue or
maroon silk gauze, arranged with it in
alternating folds. Even velvet bands
of black or dark colors are used, so that
no white or any tint can show around
the neck.
The band collar generally finishes the
neck OF high bodices, even when other
decorative adjuncts are employed. and
it is surprising to see how many fancies
can be shown at the throat of q stylish
dress. From a number Of models may
be selected a corsage finished with a
shirred standing collar outside of alace
ruching. The next collar is of velvet.
richly beaded and edged with bead
pendants, and near this is a collar with
a point in back and front on lower por-
ton. A decorative collar is a straight
band Of velvet, edged on both sides
with a row of beads and tied at the side
with a ribbon, while other collars are
fastened slightly away from the front
