LAREDO, Tex, September 16.-[Specia.
Correspondence to SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
This was a gala day in this city and the
celebration was the most elaborate that
was ever held in this city.
At 9 .. m. the mayor and aldermen.
civic societies and the officers of the army
went out to the custom house, where they
laid the corner stone for Q twO-story brick
warehouse, after which they re-
turned to the bridge, where they
put in one section of pipe and a
hydrant for a system OF waterworks, then
they went TO the southeast corner of
the Main plaza, where they laid the cor
ner stone for a twO-StOry brick for city
hall. In his stone was inclOSed in a
bottle the names of those who took part
in the ceremony, among whom was your
correspondent. At each of these places
addresses were delivered by the leading
citizens, and music by two brass bands.
At the close OF the laying of the corner
stone the ceremony for the morning
closed.
At 5 p. m. all the senior societies, the
mayor and aldermen. one company of
infantry, one of cavalry, over 100 humid
dred strong each, the citizens paraded the
principal streets, led by two bands of
music. At 6 o'clock they halted on the
Main plaza where several speeches were
delivered, after which they dismissed for
the day.
At night the city was Illuminated with
electric lights. All the public buildings
were decorated, and the city hall
was covered with lace and the
National colOrs. The Main plaza
was decorated with wreaths of evergreen
and national colOrS.
Everything passed off quietly. There
was not a single accident occurred to mar
the pleasure of the day.
The people of NuevO Laredo are begin
ming to wake up. They have caught on
to the spirit Of progress and the works
that they inaugurated today is the be-
ginning of a new era in her history. |
These works will neceSSitate the eXpendi-
ture of a hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. At present the Laredo. Texas,

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.--General Miles ar
rived from Washington this morning,
and it is understood that he will at once
proceed TO tho scene OF disturbance
among the Indians In the Northwest.
He decided to mount the two infantry
regiments which have been ordered to
Omaha the First from California, and
the Seventh from Denver. Horses are
being got hastily together for that pur-
pose.
Orders have been received from Wash
ington for the enlistment of 1900 In
dians for attach ment to the various
regiments In the neighborhood of the
Indian trouble, two troops to each
cavalry regiment, and two companies to
each infantry. Inspector General Hoyt,
OF the division of the Missouri, returned
from headquarters this morning, after
an absence Of nearly two weeks in the
Northwest.
II went to Pine Ridge" said Colonel
Hoyt. When | reached there on the
Goth found the indians quiet and evil
IDENTIFY inclined to be peaceful. No
doubt the rapid concentration of troops
at Pine Ridge prevented an outbreak.
Many reports sent by correspondents
were sensational and working great in
jury to the settlements. Many settlers
have sold their stock at q sacrifice, and
are leaving the country. | left Pine
Ridge night before last, when ii was
showing hard and a blizzard blowing,
which no doubt will cool the ardor of
the younger bucks, while the older men
are pacific in disposition"

IT IS TRUE.

Beautiful Specimens Are Now Exhibited
in spokane Falls.
Tho existence of onyx in the vicinity
mentioned in the above dispatch has
been known to u large number of people
In Spokane Falls for some time. In
TACT specimens of the beautiful sub
several weeks.
During the exposition X. L. Bealc, a
well known marble man and sculptor OF
this city, who was the first to open the
marble quarries near Fort Spokane and
the magnesia limestone quairies on tha
Clearwater river near I,ewistown, Idaho,
noticed piece of onyx on exhibition in
the kittitas county mineral display.
The man In charge of the exhibit in
formed Mr.. Beale that the substance
was limestone, and that while it was
pretty to look at, it did not make extra
good lime.
BY careful inquiry Mr.. Beale learned
Just where the specimen came from, and
the next day, without saying word to
anybody, he lit out for the mouth OF tha
Wenatchee.
Without much difficulty he found tho
formation OF which he was in search.
caves, in which were numerous stalac-
tiles. These stalactites, upon being
broken oif proved to be onyx of fine
quality. Mr.. Beale prospected further
and found that the. were about $40
acres of unsurveyed land on which the
onyx was to be found.
lie procured q number of specimens
and returned to this city. II was found
that the substance was susceptible of q
high polish. 1t is believed to be equal
to the best Mexican onyx, and the sup
ply Is apparently inexhaustible.
MIR. Beale succeeded in interesting q
number of gentlemen in this city in the
discovery, and made another trip to the
Wenatchee and took up a number OF
claims. He returned afew days ago bring.
ing with him several hundred pounds of
onyx, several specimens of which he has
polished in a highly artistic manner.
The specimeds are of different shades,
and are very beautiful when polished.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
A Watervillo Paper Describes the Dis
oovery.


oovsry.
The last issue of the Big Bend Empire
published at Waterville, Douglas coun-
ty, has the following:
"For several days it has been quietly
whispered about that certain ones knew
of the existence of what was supposed to
be rich deposit of onyx. Last Mon
day, by the presence of Mr.. X. +. Bealo,
the well-known mining expert of Spo-
kane Falls, 1t was suspected that he was
not here for nothing, by those who sLw
him in company with two or three
others drive out of town with camp
equipments in the direction of the Co
lumbia river. On Tuesday the party
returned with the assurance after thor
ough examination that they had found
and secured probably the most valuable
deposit of onyx that is known of In the
United States, If not in the known world.
Immediately upon the return of the
party an Empire reporter interviewed
several of them, including Mr.. Beale,
and learned more than has been gener-
agy known regarding the onyx mine.
IL seems that samples were sent to Spo-
kane some time ago for mineralogists to
eAdli lIls, anu thc itoulb VI klllS
ton was the prompt arrival of Mr.. Beale,
the mining expert
The location of the onyx deposit is six
miles from the mouth OF the Wenat-
chee and about twenty miles from Wa
terville. The local parties who are fort
unate to be interested in the find are X.
S. Steiner +. S. Steiner. S. l.. Bohon,
George X. Reed, of Coulee City, togeth-
er with the mining expert. Mr.. Beale,
and number of Spokane Falls capital
lists.
The public will more readily see the
importance of the discovery when it is
known that there never were but three
onyx mines known in the world, one in
Germany, one in Old Mexico and o
small deposit in Missouri. The mina
in Germany was exhausted years ago,
this being where the ancients used to
obtain their supply for decorating theiI
most costly religious structures and for
making valuable presents. In fact, onyx
is so little known at the present time
that few realize its value. The mine in
Old Mexico has been the principal source
of supply for onyx for the United States
for years. Vanderbilts residence at
Newport, built last year, was decorated
with onyx from Old Mexico at a cost OF
$3.50, O0C.
Mr.. Beale informs us that probably
the first building to be decorated with
Wonatchee onyx will be the SpoKA ANE
FALLS REVIEW building now In course
of construction. There are already three
heavy orders for this onyx in Spokane
Falls from those who were expecting TO
use the Mexican onyx. The work will
at once begin of getting out the mineral,
and the headquarters Tor preparing and
shipping will De at Waterville.
A stock company was organized last
evening to be known as the Washingtor
Onyx Mining Company, with capital
stock OF $3.50, 900. The company is OIL
cered as follows: George X. Reed, prcsi-
dent; r. +. Beale, vice president; X. 5.
Steiner, secretary and treasurer.

FREEZING OUT HosTILITiEs.
Cold Weather VIII DO More Good
Than Soldiers.

OMAHA, Dec. IA special to tho Bee
from Pine Ridge says; Severe weather
and driving storm of cutting sleet pre-.
walls here. Troops are hugging the
camp fires and the Indians freezing In
their tepees.
To-day Agent Roger will call on the
Indians at the agency and give them a
big feed at the storehouse. Should the
present storm continue, and particularly
should there be a heavy fall of snow, the
ponies of Indians now here, and whose
hay has been stolen by hostiles, would
die of starvation.
At the best this winter will inevitably
be very tough on the copper faces who
have bowed their heads TO government t
rule in the present instance, while their
rebellious and thieving brothers are liy-
ing on the fat of the land.

COMMITTED TO THE ASYLUM.
a Burglar, While Operating, Receives
Fall That Causes Insanity.

SEATTLE, Dec. &c. IL. Rice, alias
Praegsr, alias Cater, the burglar who,
while attempting to rob I.ynch's furni-
ture store several weeks ago, fell through
an elevator shaft, was committed to the
insane asylum to-day. His insanity is
the direct result of his fall. For long
time IL was supposed his injuries would
prove fatal. When Rice began to i'm
prove his mental derangement was fast
noticed and 1t was thought he was feign-
ing insanity to escape the peniten.iary,
but an examination convinced the court
that the man was really crazy and his
com mitment was ordered accordingly.

The report OF the commission to locate
a dry dock on the Pacific coast, Mt some
