COMMENCEMENT Exercises of the Several
Schools-other Notes.
AUSTIN, June l4.-The great attrac-
tiOn for the people of Austin during the
past week, has been the closing eXer-
cises Of the schools throughout the city.
Hoods seminary and the Austin High
school were closed the latter part OF last
week, and yesterday the exercises OF
Stewards female seminary and the Uni
versity were opened.
At Millett's opera house yesterday at
II a. M, one OF the largest audiences
which has ever assembled at that place,
was present to hear the annual address
delivered by Rev. DR.. Briggs, Of Calves
ton. The sermon was an excellent one,
full of the deepest research and elo-
quenee. Our citizens claim this to have
been the ablest address which has been
delivered in Austin for many months.
At the Southern Presbyterian church,
last evening, the bacca laureate sermon
to the young ladies OF the Stewart fe-
male seminary, was preached by Rev.
DR.. Dabney, OF this city. A large con-
gregatiOn were present, who seemed to
enjoy to the fullest extent this grand
sermon, founded on sublimity itself.
Grand preparations have been per-
fected for the exercises of these schools,
which are now in progress.
Marriage licenses were issued to-day
to Professor George Bruce Halstead and
Miss Maggie Swearingen, both Of this
city.
The opening Of the free bridge over

grand style next Friday, at this place.
The precinct convention was held
here last Saturday, and everything
passed of peaceably and satisfactory.
Comptroller Swain is visiting at his
home In GAINESVILLE. He will probably
be home the last of this week.
Five thousand dollars have been ap-
propristed .for a physical laboratory and

Mariah Miller is one Of the worst
characters In the city, and has frequsnt-
ly been brought before the Recorders
court. She drinks fire water" when
ever she is able to do so, and when she
gets drunk, she goes on the war path
with whoop and makes things lively.
She Is q female pugilist Of no mean
powers. This morning she was ar
raigned before the recorder upon two
charges, one for being disorderly, and
the other for carrying q razor, but, on
the motion Of her attorney, Recorder
Shields dismissed the.last named charge
and fined her S. on the first charge. 1t
was righteous sentence. The turbu-
lent and pugulistio Marian languishes in
the bat cave.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC SHOPS.
How They Can Be Located in the Alamo
City.

1t is thought that IL proper efforts are made
the Southern Pacific shops can be secured for
this city. San Antonio, for a comparatively
small outlay can acknowledgements that should
give the proposal such weight as to conduce
to favorable decision. Near the Sunset
round house is q large track of land that is re-
served for any railroad that may require 1t
for machine shops. This is separated from
the railroad track only by two blocks that
could now be purchased at a reasonable figure.
If the citizens would purchase these lots and
present them and the reservation named to
the Southern Pacific, we believe they would
find IL convenient to erect their new shops I'm
this city The advantage of this, to the citi-
Zens, would be a manifold compensation for the
outlay. and il would be well IL an influential
committee would take steps in this matter,
otherwise il is more than probable that Hous-
ton will get the shops and their advantages.

A NEW TREATMENT OF ORES
Gratifying Results Obtained at Mr.
CampbelPs Mills. at Milford.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor Of THE HERALD.
In quiet way Mr.. John A Kirby
has achieved success that is OF consid-
cradle local interest to the prospectors
and mine owners Of Star and adjoining
districts in that he has demonstrated
that the large bodies of low grade silver
lead ores can be put into market
able shape oy concentrating and re-
moving the undesirable quartz gangue,
and that at such nominaily low cost
as to leave a very good margin to meet
the cost Of extracting and handling the
ores.
Mr.. A. G. Campbell had long ago con-
ceIved the idea that the only way TO
realize anything from his large interests
in Star, was TO find cheap and pras-
ticable method OF concentration, and
with that end in View had
spent considerable time and
money IN experimenting, but up
to the time OF placing Mr.. Kirby
in charge. every effort had proved a
failure, partly through his former m an
ayers inability TO develop the full re-
sources of the water supply (which was
limited supply and partly because OF
a lack of a thorough and practical
knowledge of this class Of machinery.
Since Mr.. K. hes taken charge, how
ever. all this has been changed. He has,
by an ingenious arrangement which
your correspondents does not thoroughly
understand, succeeded in obtaining
clear water from a well where formerly
as much quicksand as water was
pumped, and now, by using portion
OF the water twice, has sufficient for all
requirements.
The changes Mr.. Kirby Effected in the
working Of the machinery coulo not be
clearly explained IN an rticle of this
description, but sufficient it is TO say
they have all proved satisfactory ~ d
successful, and the capacity OF the
mill is now limited only by
the crushing capacity Of the rolls.
Recently the water has been raised to
a higher point in the mill to enable
them to crush wet, thereby reducing
the danger of lead poisoning for the
men to a minimum. Mr.. X. estimates
that by working double shifts, he can
handle about seventy-five tons Of ore
per day. and of course the product OF
the mill depends on the character OF
the ore worked. OBSERVER.

Ben Butler for time was in the re-

with young men enlisting, getting the
bounty money, and then having their
parents come and swear that they were
under age. This. of course. stopped the

while the bounty money, having been
spent, was forever lost to the government.
