SILVER In THE TERRITORY.

Romantic Account o. How It Was Discovered
in the Mountains Near A;Oka.
SpeciaI TO the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, March IA physician at
Atoka, L. T. has written letter to a
friend in this city in which he gives a
rather romantic account of the discovery
of what is believed to be rich silver de-
posits in the mountains near that place.
He says that party of hunters, who
were in the mountains, struck camp
about dark and while Jim Davis, one of
the party, was cutting wood the ak
glanced and stuck in the ground to
depth of four or five inches. 1t was
pulled out with great difficulty, when
some bright particles of metal were
found adhering to the blade. I'm
PEELED by curiosity the hunters re.
moved several feet of the surface of the
sod, and found solid bed of the metal.
considerable quantity was cut out,
and the place carefully covered up. The
physician made an assay of the metal
and pronounced it one-third lead and
twO-thirds silver. Several years ago a
prominent citizen of Dallas found silver
near Atoka, but was notified to leave
He started away, but was never heard of
any more. The remains of a man were
found in gulch, in the direction he was
last seen going, about year later. The
hunters are keeping the place a secret,
as they will not be permitted to work
them as the laws now stand.

their old friends, and this did most

THE BOG LAW

AS the time for repairing fences, etc. :,
preparatory to starting another crop is
now at hand it naturally brings to view
the necessity of hog law. In CONVERSE
ton with some of the foremost planters
and stockmen of the county we learned
that many of them were highly in favor
of the hog law. True. there are some
good men who cannot or viii not see the
great damage and expense of letting the
hogs run free; they claim that such law
would necessitate the farmers buying
their bacon from st. Louis or Kansas.
Such certainly would not be the

SAVE YOUR MEAT.

This is what the famous young Texts
farmer, Jeff Davis Welborn, says in the
New Bost ton Herald, and adds: AS u
great many of our people killed hogs
Monday and Tuesday last, they will nat
urally be looking for some plan to save it
during this damp weather. which has
opened up all the pores in the meat.
The salt will extract every particle of
the impurities in four days, but the salt
keeps these Impurities from evaporating
by holding them in liquid state around
the meat. This blood, etc. will attract
flies and will sour the meat;
but if at the end OF four days
the meat is taken up, the old brine
poured off and the salt brushed off, then
resulted with clean salt covering the
meat entirely allowing no two pieces TO
touch, and cram salt next to the box so
each piece will be wrapped in salt it will
keep. have resulted when the meat
was tainted and all the faint would dis
appear, and the meat cure up sweet and
pure. The refused salt can be made to
pay for itself by sowing it on loose sandy
soil or trashy land of any kind so as to
show about like heavy frost.
THE HOG IN TEXAS.
There Is no industry in Texas that is
coming to the front more rapidly than
that of hog raising, and in few years
this state will undoubtedly be one of the
leading swine raising districts in the
United States. All conditions tend to
encourage it; the climate is such that
there is less loss in pigs than in any other
state; there is an almost absolute immu-
nlty from hog cholera and Mexico fur
nishes q fine market at good prices for
all hogs that are now raised here. Be-
sides this recent experiment shows that
there is money in hogs shipped to the
East Temple Times.
