Jonathan Miles, J. R. Nasworthy
and Philip c. Lee, among the old
est and wealthiest of our citizens
for an unlimited time, agreeing to
pay each land owner one-eight OF
the crude mineral delivered at the
mouth of the well or mine.
Messrs. Champlin and Titus
have been prospecting around San
Angelo for the past six or eight
days with the sole aid of their
electric instrument have located
several valuable subterranean
stratas within from two and one
half to four miles of San Angelo,
among which we will mention, now
that the land is secured, a vast de-
posit of pure, dry salt on Miles
ranch, an immense coal mine in
Weeks pasture, and a gas and salt
well or mine within one hundred
and fifty yards of where John Mas
worthy's residence stood before it
burned down a few years ago.
For the purpose of giving Mr..
Champlin's ability severe test
and to demonstrate facts, Capt.
A. J. Baker, one of San Angeles
most reliable and influential bust
ness men, and J. G. Murphy, rep

or magnetic balls, which became
to the instrument when
in operation, and would indicate, |
if properly used, sometimes a half
mile distant, the direction of the
mineral attracted by the instru-
ment. One ball or magnet was for
sal., another coal, and another nat

the small magnet first
from the other two, blindfolded |

knowing it We drove in several
different dire, ions without stop

his magnets about twenty times,

that he motioned with his hand |
which way to drive, and in about
fifteen minutes afterwards the at
became stronger and he
got out of the carriage and was
satisfied that he had discovered an
