THE Texas public has been told of the
mineral wealth oflhe Climate mountains
10 these many years, but owing TO the
defective mining laws in this State, il
has been impossible to get up a boom,
and the reading public has almost come
to believe that much of what has been
told OF the richness of those hills was
emigration buncombe. But this is really
not the cuse. There is much rich ore in
the Climate mountains, and some of il
Is being successfully and probably ex-
tracted. About year and II half ago
company of Caliiornlans sent an EXPERT
to the ground, and on his recommends
ton purchased tract of land. They
then erected ten-stamp mill. and
opened the vein Of ore, employing for n
time some 200 men. For reasons not
given they tried to keep this as quiet as
possible, which they try to do yet. But
1t is now too well established and too
prominent to longer keep it from public
knowledge. About 50 miles southwest
OF Maria, on the Southern Pacific. ia To-
Gated the mill, on Cibolo creek, and
quite town has sprung about it, and
postoilice named Shaiter established.
There Is already enough ore on the
dump to keen the mill employed for sew
eral months, and 1t is running night
and day, The output reaches up
wards Of $4,000 month, which is
high average for a ten-stamp mill.

TnE Corpus Christi Caller gives the
following as the coast situation in Texas:
There is now sufficient depth of water
in the harbors Of Texas for the Hunting
ton steamers which carry and control
the little that is left OF this trade. With
deep water at New Orleans and their
railroads terminating there, why should
these men permit injury to their freight
traffic by allowing shorter lines to take
IL to the Gulf; or seek to get deep water
at new points that would encourage new
lines to compete with them? The Cal
Ter is reliably Informed that there Is
formidable opposition preparing itself
to defeat further appropriations for
Arkansas Pass. 1t Is not for us to say
who has this opposition in hand. It
should be sufficient to give the warning.
The hand of the enemy will be seen
when the river and harbor bill shall
come up before the next Congress.
There is hard work ahead for the friends
OF the Texas sea orts. Past work has
demonstrated the feasibility OF deep
water at Arkansas Pass, hence certain
opposing interests are making ready TO
fight all future appropriations. What
are the people of Corpus Christi, San
Antonio, Laredo, Rockport and Western
Texas in general going to do? Sit still
and permit deep water to be defeated
without an effort in its behalf? 1t to
the interest of the State of Texas, the
general Government and the commerce
OF Northern Mexico to have deep water
at Arkansas, the nearest point on the
Texas coast"

IN to-day's HERALD will be found
SENATOR KneoRE's bill regulating
railroads in the state, IN reference to
their freight and passenger traffic on
competing and connecting lines, and
prevent discrimination, etc. The bill
has been ordered pri nted, and viii most
likely be reported favorably. The chief
object OF the bill is TO COMPEL compet-
ing and connecting lines to carry
freight, passengers and check baggage
over other lines to points where the
road receiving the freight and passen-
gers does not reach. TO illustrate;
If merchant ships freight
from ST. Louis to Hawkins,
Texas over the Texas Il st. Louis rail
road he can only get his bill of lading
to Big Sandy over the Texas Il st. Louis
road and then must prepay local rates
from Big Sandy to Hawkins ON the
Texas Il Pacific. The object of Kill
gore's bill il to compel tho Texas 4
Pacific TO receive the freight at point,
like Big Sandy and charge no moro fol
that portion Of the road from Big Sandy
to Hawkins than they would receive il
they had FIRST shipped from st. Louis tc
Hawkins. The same ruls is TO apply il
passenger traffic.

reverence" The same arguments wore
used in congress TO force through the
Eais scheme. Let Galveston come
down from her high pinnacle and only
claim that she is an integral part OF

be with her and apart of her, As she Is
now represented by the News, she ia the

THE most striking effect of the pres
ent attitude of the railway wago-work-
ere is the enormous increase of express
tonnage. Earnings Of the two compa
MES doing business here have increased,
so far as this region is concerned, 500
per cent. since the contest began. All
manner of table supplies arrive
that way, now, as ordinary freightage
is suspended. The result is that pota
toes and cabbage are fast reaching fancy
prices and if the present status is main
tanned much longer such pro-
duce will attain the rank Of
confectionery, in classification. In
this respect the result Of the
move is particularly disastrous. Those
who considered the step anecossary one
find that the sword has two edges, cut
ting the corporation on the one hand
and the strikers on the other inasmuch
as the chief articles they need for food
are becoming doubly dear
