Yes 1t is Raining.

"Did you ever know such a rainy
season in your life" asks one citizen
of another, and the answer is mo"
The oldest inhabitant, who has usual
ly very great Imagination, cannot re-
member such times. This is a good
thing, but the only danger is getting
too much of a good thing. Then there
is the chronic liar, who set abroad the
absurdity that lit never rains in
Texas" and who, like the man
who hit Billy Patterson, judiciously
conceals his identity. The fact is
that Texas has her dry years, as we'll
as her wet years; her lean years as
we'll as her fat years, and the wise
man is he that out of his abundance
provides for his scarcity. This can be
well done for it is an ascertained fact
that water can be procured in Texas,
and that is all that has been ever
wanted to make the Lone Star state,
an Ell Dorado. All it requires is
science and cash, and if the stockman
and ranchman will call upon the F.
F. Collins Manufacturing company,
West Houston street, he will see that
this can be done and that by investing
in this way he will receive good d.
vidend on the investment.

Press Opinions on the Revision.

PARIS, February 15.-The oppor-
tunist and moderate journals COM
menting on the vote in the chamber
of deputies yesterday, on the motion
to indefinitely postpone the debate
on the bill for revision of the consti-
tuition, say carte blanche has been
given Prest. Carnot, to exercise perfect
liberty in the construction of the new
cabinet and to form one according to
his own choice. The radical papers
assert after NJ. FlOquet's overthrow by
the opportunists no republican con-
centration is possible. The conserva-
tive and Boulangerist organs claim
that the dissolution of the chamber
of deputies is now more than ever
necessary. The chamber, they say.
can no longer be relied upon.

THE BOSTON oUlNTETTE.
A Rare Musical Treat Attended by
But Small Audience
Last Night.

A small audience attended the con-
cert given at the Grand opera house
last night by the Boston Mendels-
sohn Quintette, and it is a deplora BILE
fact, as San Antonio has long been re-
garded as musical center and has
the reputation abroad of containing
more musical connoisseurs to the
square inch than any other city this
side of the Mississippi. This must all
be taken back now, San Antonio must
take back seat. Her people did not
come out last night and this must be
taken as q guarantee that All the cri-
tics have either left town or were not
here in the first place. The Mendels-
sohn Quintette is known here, AID
has reputation second to none in
the country as combination
of artists of the first class
and last night in the rendition
of their very difficult programme they
showed themselves certainly masters
of their various instruments. Their
music is of great range, and in all of
it there is music as well as art. The
clarionette solo of Mr.. Thos. Ryan
was one to be heard only once in
lifetime and elected a storm of ap-
plause, and an encore was called for,
but the old gentleman refused to re-
spond.
The violoncello solos of Herr HEX
king were the features of the evening
and were encored again and again.
He is master of this cum bersome
looking instrument and elected
music of the rarest sort. He has
fine technique but does not sacrifice
his expression to produce it.
Another feature of the evening was
the brilliant execution of Herr Will
helm Ohliger on the violin. This
gentleman also was applauded and
encOred.
Miss Alice Ryan, the soprano
prima-donna of the company, did not
APP pear, being a sufferer from a bad
cold that rendered her very hoarse.
The programme was rendered as
follows:

Postoffice clerks report that the
Valentine season this year has been
hard upon them, for many more Val

mails than was ever known. Some of
these were OF a costly and massive
character, but there was huge guam
tity of those cheap, satirical, foolish
Valentines which, especially to the
fair sex, causes much pain and some
times great modification.

TKaE RSE:asUA HALA BONANZA.

Ed. T. Jones, we'll known as cattle
man in the Baboquivari, started for the
rich strike In the Harqua Haia noun
tains when the first newspaper reports
were published, descriptive of the rich
discoveries made there. He returned to
Tucson Saturday just boiling with enthu-
siasm over the new camp. The original
discovery in the Harqua Halas was
made by three men named Bob Stein,
Harry Wharton and Bob Sullivan, and
they have located ten c',ims that are rich
beyond description. Mr.. Jones put up
monuments on ten claims and says there
are now about forty claims located. He
brought specimens Of ore from two Of his
claims which will be assayed. II is fine
looking carbonate ore. The camp is in
the wilderness now but a stage line has
been started from Sentinel, and prospec-
tors and mining men are aocking in from
every point OF the compass.
"Do | tiIink il is permanent? There is
no question about that Two claims have
been prospected for 300 feet and the ledge
shows plain the entire distance. and over
81 900 was taken out with only picks. In
another place the body Of ore crops out
forty feet wide. In removing huge
boulder from the spot where it was de-
sired to sink shaft it was dscovertd IN
be full OF mineral, and on being tested
assayed sl775 in gold and SIS in silver to
the ton. Why, even the country rock or
formation assays an average OF $50 per
ton, something never known in localities
where the richest strikes have been made
in the past; aud the loose dirt in the
ledge when washed in horn spoon leaves
strings OF gold over two inches long.
There was taken out Of q six foot hole 5
sacks Of nuggets Of iron and matted gold,
the largest weighing % pounds. One hun
dred feet from the ledge first discovered,
and on the same claim is big carbonate
ledge from which lead can be melted in a
trying pan"
When Mr.. Jones left tie camp there
were % or 20 men on the ground and he
met many going in as he came away.
None OF the mines have been sold yet and
nothing has been done towards putting in
milling facilities. The men who located
the big strike are watching their claims
closely to prevent trespassers from help
ing themselves to the ore which is SO rich
that many dollars could be carried oil in a
mans pocket.--Tucson Citizen.

The New York Evening Sun Of the 5th
instant prints what it calls an almost in
creditable tale Of gigantic fraud by
which the Electric Sugar Refinery Com
pAny has been duped to the extent Of over
q million dollars. One Henry G. Friend,
appeared in trade four years ago, with
samples Of wonderfully pure sugar which
he said had been refined by secret cleo
tric process. He induced a number OF
capitalists to organize a company, and
buy the process from him. Factories
were erected but no one was allowed in
side Of them but his wife and few igno-
rant workmen. In the meantime the
stock Of the company had been bouncing
up until it was worth nearly $500 per
share of 500 par value. Friend then be
gan TO unload, but suddenly died. Ten
days ago Mrs. Friend and all those who
had been connected with the factory dis
appeared. Officers Of the company en-.
tered a secret chamber and found nc
sugar refined there at all merely NUN
her Of machines used in breaking cube
sugar into smaller particles. It vas dis
covered that quantities OF refined sugar
chiefly cubes, had been prepared in some
secret spot with chemical liquid, which
eliminated all ordinary Impurities found
in all sugars. Treasurer Roberts said
II means ruin to u.s." There Is no pros
pect Of being able to save anything out o
lhe wreck.

A bill has been introduced in Congress
TO make states OF the territories OF New
Mexico and Arizona. Many OF our citi,
zens object to Arizona becoming a state
on account OF the fear OF increased expen-
ses, and consequential increase OF taxa
ton. Arizona manages to struggle along
with pretty heavy expenses as a territory
and it is not likely that statehood will in
crease the expenses materially. Let Ari-
zona be admitted with the rest OF the
territories.
