pears by the records. One company has
sold 5000, ZOO of suburban property

ANOTHER ICE FACTORY.
During the present summer there ha.
been a scarcity of ice ut times which has :
been anything but agreeable to the peo1
pie of this city, and especially is this
true about the people of the South Side.l
Ice consumers south of the Texas andt
Pacific reservation have been paying att
the rate of one and oue-fourth to one and \
half cents per pound for
ice, when the waste by
melting is taken into account and they
have taken the first step looking to the
remedyIng of this. A number of oiti-
Zens have taken stock in company to
be known as the Sonrh Side arteslan ice
company which is to have capital Of
$50 200. The factory is 10 be built on
the South Side. The stock subscription
paper is still in circulation and the out
look is that considerable more than $685.
600 of stock could be placed if desired.
THE COTTON MILL,
Yesterday w. J. Boaz took the sub
scripton lis. to the cotton mill lots in
hand and did good work. The first hour
he Sanurad nina
and if he had such success up TO night
something over one-third of the lots
still unsold must be subscribed for. IL
isIsaid the cotton mill company offers to
guarantee the rent of forty small cot
tages at $40 per month if they are
erected in time for occupancy by opera
tives. A $500 house on 500 lot bring
in Sl20 per year is surely splendid in
vestment, not to speak of the certain
appreciation in value of the lot.
FORT WORTH AND DEEP WATER.
Dr.. j. T. Field is back from Corpus
Christi and the coast, and reports that a
syndicate of Fort Worth citizens have
secured an option on 800 acres of land on
Padre island, which is thirty-th feet
above high tide, and propose to build a
twin city to Fort Worth on the land.
There is depth of forty feet of water
just outside the island, and without much
expense deep water can be secured right
up to the land. A railroad is eventually
TO be built connecting Fort Worth with
the Padre island city, and the two
cities are to increase in population
and wealth together. A charter will !
be obtained in short time and the pro-
ject set on foot. One or more steamers
are to be built and devoted to coast trad
ing, handling the goods, wares and
merchandise of Fort Worth merchants
and manufacturers. DR.. Field says
there are immense opportunities for
Fort Worth in pushing her trade in this
quarter.
