AN INCREASE
To be Allowed the Fort worth and Rio
Grande of 10 Per Cent by the
Commission.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 29.-Nr. Newton H.
Lassiter of Fort Worth, attorney for the
Fort Worth and Rio GraDde railroad, was
here to-day to complain of the rates on his
road, which he says are not remuneratlve.
Judge Reagan informed him that the
commissioners had been willing for some
time to allow his road 10 per cent increase
if it was desired.
Mr.. Lassiter asked for the increase and
was told that it would be granted when
Commissioners Foster and Mclean re-
turned.
The commission issued the following no
tice: To all Observation-Disclosures
have recently been affected which enables
this commission to issue general authority
for the adoption of each publication OF
classification rulings made by the Western
classification association. 1t will, there
fore, until further notice be unnecessary
to make special application to this commits
sion for authority to adopt such clssitica-
ton rulings.
Authority was granted the. International
and Great Northern to make the following
rates on wire: car loads from Galveston TO
Devine, Tex, and stations on the Inter
national and Great Northern north thereof
and to stations on the same line south OF
Palestine, except where current fifth-class
rates may be less than 80 cents per hundred
pounds: to stations south of Devine 80 cents
per hundred pounds, plus current nth class
differentials, effective March T.
Circular No g. is as follows: 1t is here
by ordered that commodity tariff No. 3,
adopted by the railroad commission of
Texas on September l, 1891. and effective
September ., 1891, be amended as follows:
The rate on lumber, laths, shingles, fence
posts and piling in car loads, minimum
weight $4,000 pounds, from stations on the
Houston. East and West Texas to Velasco,
Tex, shall be 1917 cents per 100 pounds,
effective March {. 1892. -

"A comparison of the results will show
at glance and without further comment,
the standard and average quality of the
ores.
1t is unnecessary to multiply examples
further. For all purposes of comparison
those that are here presented will amply
suffice. An examination of the analyses
here given, of the authenticity of which
there can be no doubt, shows:
l, That the Llano county ores are richer
in metallic iron than those of any of the
Lake Superior regions, the famous Corn
wall ore bank, or the Santiago de Cuba
mines.
2. That the percentage of phosphorus
is exceedingly small, and so far below the
Bessemer limit as to establish beyond doubt
the utility of the ores for steel-maKing by
the ordinary or acid process.
3. That the value of the Llano county
ores is enhanced by the notable absence OF
sulphur in their composition.
4. That the element of silica enters into
the composition of the ores only in very
low percentage, which would in no wise
prove detrimental in iron or steel making.
An auction sale of lots will be held during
the month of April, TO which all are invited.
In the meantime we solicitit an inspection
of the resources upon which we shall surely
build city. We especially invite the az
tention of the bomeseeker and the business
and professional man looking for a mora
profitable field, promising them active CO.
operation and liberal treatment.

Gets Hearing

Brief Notes OF a General Character Gath

ways. Their Officers and Em-
ployes-PersOnals.
The Latest Improvement.

One of the latest improvements in rail
way science, for which special advantage IS
claimed both in increasing the safety Of
travel and the pulling capacity of loco
motive, says the New York Sun, consists,
as technically described, of a small dynamo
and an auxiliary engine placed upon the To-
connective in such a manner as to be easily
operated. Thus a current of small force,
but of small quantity, is furnished. which
Is made TO pass from one pole of the dynamo
to one pair of driving wheels, and thence to
the other pole of the dynamo, in this way
forming a travelling circuit moving at all
times with the locomotive, by means OF
which circuit an incipient weld is caused
between the wheels and the rails at the
point of contact, preventing the slipping OF
the wheels This method is said to show
an increase of 400 per cent in the hauling
power of the locomotive.

MINERALS AND STONES.

The above statements are easily made,
out when il comes to describing the build
ing materials and minerals of this wonderful
region it becomes great undertaking and
an impossible task to convey to the reader
a view Of the great quarries of granite Of
twenty-four varieties-the ONLY GRAN
TIE found in the Gulf states white
marble, blue marble, silurian marble, sand
stones, states, cements, asbestos, graphite,
manganese, materials for glass and pottery.
All the large cities of Texas are to-day
striving to get railroad connection with
Llano to secure this building material.
which will mean thousands of workmen in
the quarries, hundreds of workmen in lime,
cement and marble works.
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-03-01
IRON

Immense veins of bessemer ore lie ex-
posed on the surface of the ground.
Shafts have been sunk for fifty feet
alongside the Iron Mountain mine, and it
has been found that the vein has increased
four feet in going down that distance, be-
ing twenty-five, feet wide at that depth.
Shafts have also been put down in other
mines, and the result was equally satisfac-
tory.
To show the extent of these deposits we
quote from the last state geological report,
page 6S1:
THE magnetites and hematites are abun-
dant and they, with the manganese ores,
have been so clearly mapped by the geo.
logical survey that in the event of the es-
tablishment of steel works to handle this
material in or out of the district, there will
be no question of the supply being ade-
quate There is enough of the very best
bessemer ore to build up an industry far in
excess of the requirements of the South
west for long years to come, even with
growth far beyond the calculations of the
most sanguine advocates. There will I'M
doubtedly be 4 demand from without for
these hard ores, and the smelterS of East
ern Texas are beginning to realize the adj
vantage of mixing them with their own
abundant soft ores. Already movement IS
well under way TO make such railroad con-
nections as are necessary to ship to the
Alabama furnaces, which now draw their
supply of hard ores from Lake Superior,
distance of more than 1000 miles IN EXCESS
of the direct route from Llano to Birming
ham. There can be no doubt, therefore, Of
the future great prominence of Central
Texas as producer of Iron ores"
Mr. George NJ. Wakefield, of Milwaukee,
one CT the best informed iron men in the
country, says of this district: 1.-THE quail
ity and quantity of the Iron is not equaled
in any other district that have any knowl-
edge Of on this or any other continent"
Mr. Maurice E Locke, president of the
Central National Bank of Dallas, after a
three days trip of inspection Of Llano
county, said: Having in mind Lowell
built upon its water power: Rutland upon
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-03-01

of Llano, and work has now begun con-
structing the road.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Rail-
way have forJy-nine of their sixty-seven
miles of extension graded, and it is only a
question of time when their road will be
completed.
The Waco, Lampasas and Llano have
sixteen miles graded this way from Tampa
sas, and have some thirty miles more before
they reach town. So that Llano is assured
of three railroads in the near future, one
being from the Northeast, one from the
East and one from the South, giving US
competing lines to the great North and to
the Gulf of Mexico.

Intercbanreable Mileage Tickets.

A railway official whose opinion on traffic
matters is usually treated by other railway
men with some respect, writes a vigorous
letter to the Railway Age on the subject Of
interchangeable mileage tickets. He argues
In favor of a 50O0-mile ticket at 2 cents
mile good over all lines in given territory
-.'even on all roads in the territory of the
Western passenger association" me
points which he makes are that: ~
/. 1t will be a convenience to the public.
q It will help TO check scalping.
g. 1t viii in some measure head off 3
cent-a-mile legislation by Western legisla-
lures.
4. The refusal to honor the tickets in
question is not consistent with the existing
arrangement Tor interchange of passenger
business on through coupon tickets.
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-03-01
Again Mr.. Edmonds SAYS:

1t is not necessary to describe further the
deposits of Iron ore that exist in such
abundance in the Llano Valley and ada
cent territory. for in the multiplicity of de-
scriptions one VINO is not familiar with the
region and has not the guidance of good
map is soon confused. Enough has already
been said to indicate the general character
of the deposits, and in measure their ex-
tent.
''In order that comparison may be made
with some of the well-known Lake Supe-
rior ores, which are shipped in large guam
titles for Bessemer purposes, the following
table mas been prepared, comprising sam
pies of the average of the shipments during
the year 1890

VALLEY OF THE LLANO"

Is from five to ten miles wide, covered
with timber and carpeted with flowers.
To one who, for the first time, ascends
''Town Peak at the base of which winds
the river, and allows his gaze to rest for a
moment upon the spires of the busy city
spread out before him, then to wander up
the valley catching here and there, between
the trees, glimpse of the winding river,
he no longer wonders from whence the poet
derived his inspiration to write:
Lives there nan with soul so dead
Who meier unto himself hath said,
This is my own, c-y native land"
For truly, go East or " est-go North or
ASouth-the traveller will not find a more
lovely sight for the eye to rest upon than
this green valley stretching away for
twenty miles, until the gaze is interrupted
by the distant mountains standing out clear
and bold against the sky.

LOCATION.

LLANO County is situated in the noun
famous region of Central Texas, about
seventy-five miles northwest of Austin.
Mountain ranges traverse the county. Ly-
ing between these ranges are broad, fertile
valleys, covered with trees, and here and
there dotted with the corn and cotton
fields of the husbandman. The county has
an area of about 100000 acres, comprising
the finest grazing and stock=raisiisess4z1lt
in the state. ITRti1issIEttrlsfll : rev years its
.ssass.sriaslSA consisted of a few herdsmen,
living in their scattered huts, but recently
the county has progressed amazingly in ag-
riculture, and now has about $4,000 acres
under cultivation, The population, too,
has increased at a rapid pace, and now
numbers nearly 10000. F'lourishing little
towns have sprung up in various parts of the
county, with churches, schools and all the
comforts of civilization. Nature has be-
slowed her beauty lavishly upon the region,
giving it mild and healthful climate, high
altitude, a pure and invigorating atmos-
phere, and a never-failing abundance of
water, both in springs and large streams.

The county has an elevation of 400 feet
Above the sea, which is SEQ feet higher than
the famous health resort of San Antonio.
The air being so wonderfully pure and
clear it is very beneficial TO all consump-

William L. JOY, president of the Sioux
National Bank OF Sioux City, of Iowa after
a careful inspection. said: "There is more
undeveloped wealth within twenty miles of
the city of Llano than the entire assessed
valuation of the state Of Texas at the pres
ent time"
VIM. Il. Edmonds, editor of the Manu-
facturers' Record of Baltimore, Md, after
spending several days in this region, said:
''Llano county. all told, does not cover
100000 acres. and yet in two or three years
time, one-tenth of this area could be made
to yield more freight for the railroads Of

Again Mr.. Edmonds says:
''These facts concerning the mineral re.
sources of Llano county that have been
