The people have practically set.
tied the question Of the next Con-
gress, and the result will be known
to-morroW or no. perhaps till the
following day. Whatever the result
we must be satisfied. Now, let US
look little at home matters. The
city Of Annapolis and the county Of
Anne Arundel want new blood, new
industries, new life and more mon
ey. There is plenty of money in
the conntry-there are many people
looking for new homes. They can
invest their money here to advan-
tage. No better place on the globe
can be found than here for comfort
able homes with a certain prospect
OF q fair return for labor, if rightly
directed. Our soil is adapted to the
cultivation Of the most profitable
crops. Fruits, vegetables, tobacco,
corn and wheat grow luxuriantly on
our improved lands. Fish. oysters,
terrapin and all salt water luxuries
abound. The climate is salubrious
neither hot nor cold. We are
free from storms, from diseases
from most Of the ills flesh heir to.
Our navigable waters and railroad
facilities make every farm accessible
to Washington, Baltimore and Phil
adelphia.
A we'll directed effort in making
these facts known would produce
good fruit. Our cheap lands turn
ed over to capable men with money,
would become valuable. Our idle
aitea for manufactures would be
utilized, and from being strugglers
with hard times we would become
thrifty, prosperous and the envy of
the rest of the State. Printing is
cheap, postage is cheap-why not
avail ourselves Of the opportunities
these afford to make our advantages
known to the outside world
We don't care for booms. We
simply want the facilities nature has
given as to become great to be made
known to those who have money to
invest, and brains and Drawn to
make our county the richest and
most prosperous in the State of
Maryland. Our location, soil, eli
mate and proximity to the national
capitol and the greatest commercial
mart of trade IN the South, point
unernngly to the advantages we Of

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS

Professor Dumble, in speaking in the
Austin Statesman of the Llano county
deposits of glass. pottery and paint ma
terials, says: In the white sandstones OF
Castle Rock and Rock Fort, and the
great areas covered by the waste OF the
same beds in Llano county. especially
along the sources of Willow creek and
Phillips creek, there is every probability
that excellent material exists Tor the
manufacture of glass. No tests nave yet
been made, but the sand is remarkably
pure and In enormous quantity. Pottery
clays are not abundant, probably, al
though there are places in many OF the
creeks where very fine clays have been
deposited, and in parts OF the Burnetan
exposures there are good occurrences OF
albite. A sample of this mineral from
Clear creek, 3urnet county, con-
tains only LOG per cent. iron, as
per analysis by Mr.. j. IL. Hern-
don of this survey. Feldspar of
this region can readily be duplicated in
the region in marketable amounts.
Orthoclase, very pure but ferruglnous,
can be mined ad libitum from dikes and
patches in the Arch9an rocks. kaoli-
mite is abundant as an alteration pro-
duct, largely of the variety carnat,
chiefly pink; but this does not occur in
deposits of apprecleble size. SO far as
known. 1t may be that some OF the de-
posts of the softer red earths, which are
little more than degraded hematites, Will
come into service as pigments, and even
the more siliceous red sands may afford
materials of value for similar purpose.
The graphic schists of the Fernandan
system and the graphitlo shales of the
Texas system do not appear TO afford
enough carbon for use in this manner,
but If any important deposits exist. like
one of Cat creek examined by the writer,
there Is chance OF obtaining some reye-
nue. from them. The Cat creek tritura-
ted graphite Is a kind Of fog deposit
locally found in old pools in the bed of
the stream where this material has been
slted in with layers of clay and sand. 1t
was shown to me by gentleman who
thought he had discovered bog man
ganese ore. The black earth is, how
ever, very similar to the "black mud -
of the Bear creek district of Arkansas,
but it has been produced in different
manner. Not far above the Llano
county deposit the graphite schists cross
the creek, and this accumulation has
undoubtedly come from that source.
With such enormous quantities of very
pure material in Arkansas the product OF
numerous hot springs which have
worked over the earth and assorted it
thoroughly, there is little prospect of
putting our limited and and inferior sup
ply into marketable form SO as to realize
any profit.
The Wakefield syndicate at Llano is
having shaft sunk on location No. l,
east of town, and the workmen are find
ing iron ore of the richest quality and in
great abundance. As the shaft goes
down the iron ore improves IN quality
and the lead widens. 1t is the intention
of the syndicate TO sink shafts on each
of their properties in this county, pre-
liminary to commencing their develop
ment.

PANHANDLE WHEAT.

Mr.. d. C. Plumb of the firm of Clark
s. Plumb, real estate dealers IN the Pan
handle and Dakota lands, recently sub
mitted sample of Texas wheat to WI ash
burn, Cusby & Co. of Minneapolis, with
highly gratifying results. This company
controls one of the largest Touring mills
in the great wheat country of the North
west. The following reply was received
to the communication:
MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 2, 1890.
D. G. Plumb, Esq, Grand Pacific Hotel, Chi
cago:
DEAR S1R:-we are in receipt of your favor of
August 80, addressed to our vice-president Mr..
Dunwoodie; also have the sampie of wheat.
which has been examined carefully by our wheat
exuert and head miller. We are unable to give
You chemical analysis OF the wheat, but are
unanimous in our opinion as to its being of ex-
favorably with our No North Of the last crop,
and would command good price on our market.
tSignedl WAsHBURN, CROSBY G. Co.
The sample of wheat which Mr.. Plumb
sent to these experts was obtained at
Henrietta, and was raised in Clay county
this year. 1t shows conclusively that in
matter of quality as well as quantity the
Texas product is not behind that of the
great Northern belt. The farm on which
the sample was grown averaged about
twenty-four bushels to the acre and was
not unequaled in many sections OF the
Panhandle.
Mr.. Plumb stated that the average
wheat yield in the Panhandle would
probably not quite equal that of last
year, which averaged from twenty to
twenty four bushels to the acre. This
slight falling off was to be attributed 10
the heavy rains early in the season. He
also mentioned the fact that the acreage
would be greatly increased next year.
This results from the increase in the
population, which is swelling rapidly
under the steady stream of immigration
that is heading for the Panhandle lands
and from the added transportation facil-
tiles which the Wichita Valley railroad
would afford. That enterprise will open
up q large area of unimproved
land as we'll as allow established
farmers to bring larger fields under cul
tivation. The heavy rains which have
recently fallen in that country have pre-
pared the land for cultivation, and al
ready the plows are at work. This will
be continued as last year until well on
towards the holidays under the influence
of late immigration, and an immensely
increased wheat crop may be looked for
next season.
