ON THE SCENT.


IA short time ago an old Texan rode up
to the station where l was and asked me a
few questions-where / came from, my
name, etc. He is native of Georgia, a
rough old fellow, but speaks Spanish we'll.
he pretended to be buying stock and did
purchase little, but II was evident to me
that that was not the real object If his visit
TO the place. He stayed at the ranch about
three days, but came to the Office to see me
often.
"Hs had been informed OF the presence
OF the treasure in that vicinity by the
Mexican cowboy who had found it, and he
had this man with him, though he endeav-
ored to keep him out Of sight I saw the
fellow myself tho day the old man gathered
up his traps and left. On the day of bis de-
parture the Texan told me the whole story
OF the wonderful treasure
lie told me he had seen the cave, the
opening oil which is almost hidden, and he
Knew tao stuff was in it, He said he could
not move it by himself, and wanted me in
as partner % assist him in getting it out
Of tho country.
A SCHEME DEVISED.

al about half past four o'clock on
Friday evening last, fro was tliasoV-
cred boxing cut on al sides Of the dry
kiln attached u tile Norris saw and
lplaniug mills, on Norris POINT, in the
northwestern part Of our town, owned
by AIr w. B. Norris.
Scarcely bad the alara,sbeen given
4 by those working at the mills, when
III was plainly seen that neither the
dry kiln nor the saw mill could be
saved 50 rapidly did the flauiessprsaa,
and Che attention Of those present was
turned toward cutting the Wharyes,
in order 10 prevent the spreading of
the fire to the immense piles of lum.
her on the yard, the planning mills,
railroad trestle aud the residence, all
of which were In close proximity, and
on account Of the stiff south wind
then blowing, in imminent danger.
The efforts Of the comparatively
ueagre force present were Of little
avail in preventing the flames from
taking their own course and consum-
ing everything in their destructive
path: hut soon reinforcements in large
numbers were received from all sides,
among whom were the boys of Lake
Charles Fire Co. No. j, with their
beautiful steam engine, which arrived
on the steamer Erangeline, and later
the Young american Fire Co. No. 2 on
the steamer Exquisite.
After a fierce struggle Of about two
hours, in which old and Young, white
and black, distinguished themselves
in battling with the fire iiend, the
flames were mastered, and the planning
mills, abont |, 100000 feet of lumber
and sother valuable property was res
.cned, which at one time was beyond
ali hopes Of being saved.
The saw mill and dry kiln were
entirely destroyed together with about
1T5, 06Ofeet Of lumber. Twobox cars
belonging 10. the Southern Pacific Go.
were also harmed on the mill switch.
Mr. Norris loss is abont $4,000, and.
is insured for about 5one.thtrd, The
oaase Of the fire is unknown, sbut is
supposed to have originated in the
dry kiln.
Too much praise eannotgbe accord
ed all who assisted in distinguishing.
the fire, for the energy and ietermin-
alton manifested, and we mnst make
special note of the gallant boys of the
Lake Qhatles Fire Go. No. 4, for the.
prompt and effective assistance Fen-
defed by them with their beautiful.
little Jewel of an engine.

Last weak we bad al article.on the
tobacco industry. We find ii IS at-
tracting attention elsewhere on the
eosst lands. We give the following
from the New Orleans CErossels /.
"We bad observed that New Yoil.
capitalists were preparing to expend
several millions Of dollars IN the o1l-
.ture Of the finest qualities of tobacco
in Gadsden county, Fla. Knowing
that the climate and product Of the
Florida parishes of Loulsiana were
precisely similar 10 that of the tobacco
region Of Florida, we suggested that
experiments be made with the same
qualities Of tobacco. A successful
experiment would be almost certain
to attract capital and open mp a new
industry inthose parishes. Suddenly
the Maurepas Gazette replied with
reference 70 the proposed experiment:
No need Of it neighbor; the parish
ofLiyiRgston can and does produce
as good tobacco as they do in Cuba
Why has the important fact been sup
pressed 80 lORgl Why has It not
been proclaimed far and wide9 Are
We smoking Livingston tobacco in
what we supposed TO be Cuban eigarsl
These are interesting questions toeon-
sideF We are pleased, however, to
know that we have brought up from
the depths of Livingston 80 important
q Bit of Prsetical knowledge, that
ought TO betaIEen note Of BY capital
lists Immediately. Orr tobacco man
ufaeturers might serve their interests
immensely by making a thorough in
Vestigation and investing in tobacco
lands m the Florida parishes"

from narrow neck to 80 miles, join

prairie may fairly claim kinship for
size TO acme Of thenorthwestern prair-
les. IT is drained by streams heading
near Red river aud running southerly
toward and enlptying into the Gull.
Some Of these streams are very deep
and broad enough to admit steam

and some 81. them nm through lakes
