OF Inc 9Sth meridian the cotton crop il
good. aud weather has affected t favor
, ABLY, except in a few localities where
drouth has done some damage. West Of
thls the crop has been seriously injured
oy drouth, although good rains in the
next ten days would be of great benefit,
and would increase the yield.
NAcoNA. Aug. l4.-Nacona received
her first two bales of cotton to-day, one
| from B. 1. T. from Dan Wood
which weighed 1876 pounds and

opening rapidly and but little damage
has been doue by boil worms.

ing well in Grayson. One gentleman

never looked better, and corn is more
promising than we have been led to be-
lieve.
SAVOY, Aug. l5.-The prospect is very
good for cotton crop this season. The
ginners are all fixing up their gins and
buying new machinery. The worms
have made a slight appearance, but the
farmers fear no danger from them,
PLAINvIEw, Aug. 15.-The late rains
have filed the basins or lakes full of
water, and the prospects of good full
crop Is splendid.
NoCoNA, Aug. l6.-Yesterday we had
q fine rain, the first since the 4th of
July. It will help some crops of cotton
and make grass better. The prospects
are favorable for more rain. Cotton
will average about a half crop. We have
plenty of corn, if properly taken care of,
but no vegetables. If it continues sea-
may have some fall gardens.
LoNGvIEw, Aug. l6.-Fhere has been
some local rains, but not sufficient to
make cotton fill out as it should in this

good rainfall occurs very soon the cotton
crop will be cut quarter short.

TEXAS IMMIGRATION.

Prospectors are visiting Goldthwaite
and Mills county every day and great
many are investing in the county.
A colony of Germans arrived in Har-,
rold last week from Missouri. They will
locate there, most of them buying aud
the rest renting homes. They are only
the advance guard of large German
population that will immigrate later.
Notwithstanding the dry weather the
number of prospectors and emtigrauts
who visit WIlbarger county daily shows
the confidence the people HAYS got in the
future of Northwest Texas as farming
country.
Covered wagons are coming into Bay
lor county by the hundred from East
Texas, bearing home hunters. Many of
them go far out on the plains in order to
secure cheaper lands, but as TO whether
they make money out of it is a serious
question.
The letters of inquiry that are at pres
ent pouring into the towns along the
route of the Fort Worth and Denver road
are very numerous, and indicates that
the influx in the fall will be very large.
Every train that runs up into that ooun-
try carries more or less of those who are
looking for investments and homes. One
interesting feature is that they are not
all bound for one or two points, but are
pretty evenly distributed over the couu-
try between Fort Worth and Amarillo,
while great many keep on to Hartley
county.
PLAINvIEw, Aug. 16.-Strangers can
be seen on the streets every day and ere
long every section of school land will be
settled upon.
WAsHBURN, Aug. l7.-Prospectors are
every day, and many sales of

BURIED ALIVE FOR HOURS.
The Awful Experiences of Plucky
Miner OF Scranton, Pa.

The Awful Experiences of PlucIy
Miner OF Scranton, Pa.
Neither the frequent perils nor the con-
tinual discomfort of men who work under
ground can ever be appreciated by us who
live every day in the sunshine A Pennsyl-
vania letter to the New York Times de-
scribes an awful experience of one Frager a
Scranton collier, who was caught by fall
ing mass Of coal and lay In his living tomb
for nearly sixteen hours.
Frager was Mortified to find himself shut
in by the great, black mass. As the
squeeze" continued his prison grew smaller
and smaller, and from the continual ominouS
cracking Of the coal overhead he expected
every moment to be crushed to death.
By great good fortune two drills lay within;
| his reach. He seized them and managed TO
| fix them crosswise in the corner of the
| chamber directly above him. They helped
| to support the superintendent mass and did
| their work well, although Frager half-ex-
| pected them to break under the tremendous
pressure.
All about him, meantime, the great bowld-
| ers OF coal kept pressing closer and closer.
Both his feet were caught, and, as the slow
| and fearful hours Went by, he felt his limbs
growing numb as the circulation of the blood
| ceased.
Little by little he had been crowded into
half-Sitting posture, ana as the sharp edges
and corners of the coal drove deeper and
deeper into his flesh, he felt as if he were
resting on spikes. In this terrible condi-'
ton he remained. with only the fantest
hope of rescue.
The crash that buried Frager in this way
cut off all communication between him and
his assistant, Anthony LAWN. LAWN was on
the outside of the "fall," and Immediately
ran for help. A gang of twelve men has
tened to the place and at once began cutting
through the thick wall that separated them
from the poor mans narrow prison.
The chance Of his being found alive grew.
all the time less and less, but the brave fel-
lows kept at the work without finching
though their own lives were every moment
in danger.
As they made their way through the wall
1t became necessary 10 proceed with greater
and greater caution, precious as the mo-
ments were, lest they should unwittingly
start bowlder that would crush Frager in
its fall.
At last. however, the wall was pierced, and
the buried man, still alive and able to speak,
though terribly bruised and nearly 'suffo-
Gated with foul gases and coal dust, was
taken out and hastily removed TO the mouth
of the mine.
Rough men wept for joy. and Frager's
wife and children, who had been in an
agony of suspense for almost night aud
day. were fairly beside themselves as they

arms were placed in the box with the body.
ms was all arranged by Photographer
Horgan.
Here are the pistols and his rifie," said Su-
perintendent Agee. "Now get his hat"
The hat was produced. 1t was a black
cowboys hat with large hrim, and looked
10 De we'll worn, as it had been sewed in
several places with white cotton thread.
Two men raised the coffin and carried it to
the southwest corner of the Office, where it
was placed in an inclined position, with face
fronting the photographer. The two Colts
pistols and the Marlin rifle. which the dead
road agent cherished as his trusted friends,
and which never failed him in an hour of
need. were placed in the box. The stiff
hands were placed in on the pistols and the
butt of the rifle was stationed against the
floor.
There the outlaw seemed to stand, almost
as natural as life, with his REVIEWERS and
rl1e In hand, his hat near by, ready to cover
poor express boy and rob him of the COM
paby'S many thousands. The arrangement
was so well gotten up that all declared that
Rube could almost be seen to move from his
coffin. Horgan then worked his flash-light
apparatus and the work was DONE
His locks presented terror, ard as one of
the Specta ors remarked, reminded one more

clearly discerned after close inspection.
1t seemed to be smile of disdain and mock

have permeated his heart, Judging from the

MINING STATISTICS.
Census Superintendent Porter Complains {
the Difficulty in Collecting Returns.

Census SUPERINTENDENT Porter Complains o.
the Difficulty in Collecting Returns.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2O.-Superintendent
of Census Porter in his annual report de-
votes considerable space to mines and min
ing. His says arrangements were made
early in the year for the appointment of
local agents to secure returns from tardy
correspondents. and to secure the office
against possible omissions of names in its
directory. L. May this supplementary can
yass was begun by means of these agents
in the Rocky Mountain region, and early
in this month the same work was started in
the Pacific Coast region, it being anticipated
that these regions would prove especially
difficult, as the producers there were not
supposed to be well drilled in the matter of
statistic returns. Other regions were SIM
ilarly treated SO that at this date
the directories have been completed, the
correspondence reduced to small amount
and the apportlonment of territory for Wis
itation by special agents nearly finished.
These agents are now actively engaged in
the completion of the work. so that difficult
regions are being rapidly finished and
summed up for the final report. For two
subjects, the production of slate and quick
silver, final reports have been made and in
formation published in bulletins in advance
of the complete report. The greatest diff
Guilty has been encountered in the collection
of gold and silver statistics in California and
Oregon, where an enormous staff of local
assistants are rapidly completing the work.
The canvass of the subject of quicksilver
shows that its production is limited to Cali
fornia. Superintendent Porter says that q
special agent and six clerks are now collect
ing information on transportation on the
Pacific Coast. ana have Instructions to re-
port by December Both, but it is uncertain
whether this can be accomplished by that
fine
