TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS.

A silver mine has been discovered four or
five miles south of DeLeon, and we are told
that the dirt contains about $40 to the ton.
An old miner was here last week and says
the ore tested so far reveals the fact that
it is rich in deposit, but developments to
this date are not sufficient to tell the guam
titv. II it proves to be paying mine a
company will take charge and open it up.
Parties are still at work and we hope to be
able in our next issue to give the result of
their experiment. DeLeon is In it to stay

san ANTONIO, June 6--James B. Gaff-
ney an experienced miner has been pros
pecting in the Llano iron fields for coal. He
put year in the work To-day he came 70
town with the results. Gaffney asserts that
on land nine miles fnom the town of Lano
he has gone down 800 feet following lead
of as fine bituminous coal as ever came
out of Pennsylvania. At that depth the
vein is six inches wide. 1t has grown
steadily broader for every foot of progress.
It has been tested and cokes admirably.
If Gafney's discovery is genuine the prob
lem of the Llano fields is solved. That
county is wonderfully rich in
iron and most of its lands have been alb
sorbed by Chicago syndicate The diff
Guilty has been the obtainment of proper
fuel. If Gafney's coal will coke the fuel
is right at the door Of the iron.

Why Big Men Have Little Wives.

There is very general and ancient i'm
preston that big men in choosing wives
prefer small women. At first glance this
would appear TO be true, because the num-
Der of big men with little wives is certainly
in an overwhelming majority, as we see
them. In the five years have held my
office have learned thing or two through
the medium of the marriage license Office,
and it is my impression that it is not that
big men prefer little women, but that little
women prefer big men, and it is the ex-
perience Of the worldwise that what a
woman wants and starts out to get she
generally captures.-Interview in ST. Louis
Globe Democrat.

Testing n Trunk.

A slim faced man with a graveyard
cough was inspecting some trunks in front
of Grand street store yesterday, when
the proprietor of the store appeared and
asked:
Looking for a trunk, sirf'
"Yes."
Here's the best four dollar trunk ever
made, and Pm the only one that sells 'em
at less than five dollars"

with sorrowful shake of the head. Zone
of these trunks wouldn't stand the jour
ney from here to Poughkeepsie.
What! I'll warrant 'em to go around
the world! Take hold of one and bang it
about and convince yourself"
do you give me leave to wrassle with
ore?"
"Of course do! Take right holdn
The man with the graveyard cough drew
in full breath, called out: "Sche-neck-

gers, and then reached for the trunk

went the other, and as he stood it on end
and upset it and Topped it back again one
hinge busted loose and the cover split in
two. With twist of the wrist he gave it
a slam bang which completed the wreck,
and with bow to the trunkman he joined
the crowd and disappeared.

ter of the interior received $500, 900 for his

It proved difficult task for this CORE
spon6ent to trace the entire disposition of
the Barring corruption fund used in the
waterworl1s deal The belief is current
here that nearly $1,000, 900 was spent in the
t'preliminaries."
Sanford is popularity. credited with Sc
curing special commissions" which put
him high above the water in his course
down the financial stream among the
brazen kettle and earthen pots. Having
secured this contract, Barring Bros.
forwarded TO Sanford two inStalm entS OF
$1,000, 600 each, and the third of like
amount will fall due this summer. Other
sums were advanced at various times,
until now, the correspondent estimates. the
governments liability to the Barring Bros.
on this single enterprise at nearly $780,
100000.
THE wATERwoRKs INVESTMENT.
He continues: ''The loss of the Barings
from their waterworSs investment will not
be as great proportionately as in their pur-
chase of bonds and other money here, which
no one outside the confidential clerks Of
the house and those OF their agents can
describe. 1 have met with many difficulties
in obtaining the simplest facts regarding
the Barring affairs. The government Of
ficials will disclose nothing. The chief sec
rotary of the treasury, after promising 10
lay before me certain important Of
fetal data, was constrained to change
his mind and politely declined. The cir
cumlocution Office system prevails here in
all its complexity. The Inquirer who
wishes to know is regarded as suspicious
character, only to be denied information"
Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the correspondent learned that amounts
ranging from S5,000,000 to twice or
three times that amount were obtained by
various provinces for ''internal improve
ments." One of these loans TO Cordoba,
the correspondent says, is larger than the
entire province is worth.
The Barings also hayelarge investments
in railroad bonds, but these, the CORE.
