William L. Joy, president of the Sioux

undeveloped wealth within twenty miles Of
the city of Llano than the entire assessed
valuation Of the state of Texas at the pres

Again Mr.. Edmonds says:
"These facts concerning the mineral re-

CENTER or THE SOUTHWEST.
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 rhsre and
there dotted with the corn and cotton
fields of the hHsna adniafl. The county has
an, area OF about 600, 600 acres, comprising
theFhest grazing and stock-raising lands
in the state. Until within few years its
population 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. Flourishing 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.

"a comparison of the results will Shot
at a glance and without further commend
the standard and average quality of ths
ores.
1t is unnecessary to multiply example.
further. For all purposes of comparison
those that are here presented will ampl!
suffice. An examination of the analyses
here given, of the authenticity of which
there can be no doubt, shows:
1, That the Llano county ores are richie!
in metallic iron than those of any of the
Lake Superior regions, the famous Corn
wall ore bank, or the Santiago de Cub
mines.
@ 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.
g. 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 a city. We especially invite the at
tention of the homeseeker and the business
and professional man looking for a mora
profitable field, promising them active CO.
operation and liberal treatment.

latter road, owned by John Young of Utah
fame, is to be extended 100 miles, an extern
sion which will place its terminus in the
heart of the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
The result of these Rio Grande Southern

RAILROAD BUILDING.
Predictions as to the Work to be Done in
the West in 1892.


the West in 1892.
Tbs Rocky Mountain News gives the fol-
lowing interview with a prominent West
ern railroad contractor and builder: 81.
n. Haynes. 4 well-known railroad building
contractor, and a man exceptionally and
thoroughly posted in Western railroad con-
struction movements, is in the city as a
guest of the Brunswick hotel.
Mr. Haynes has lately been engaged in
railroad building in New Mexico, but has
just accepted contract on the Burlington
on the now building line of that road, to
Helena, Mont, Mr. Haynes work lying
between Gillette and Buffalo, in Wyoming
To News reporter Mr.. Haynes last even
ing opened his heart and general Western
railroad construction budget with the fol-
lowing wide and varied result:
The Burlington has just appropriated
81, 200, 900 for this years construction work
in Wyoming and Montana The BurIing-
ton line to Helena will be completed in
eighteen months at the farthest. From
Helena the Burlington will build to the
northwest to Great Falls, Mont. distance
OF 200 miles, paraEeling in such building
the line of the st. Paul and Manitoba rail-
road and tapping one of the richest agri-
cultural regions IN the Northwest. From
Great Falls the Burlington will proceed to
Puget Sound, the completion of the line
constituting q grand Burlington trunk
route from Aurora, Neb., to the Pacific
coast
ION the 1st of the coming July Messrs.
Fitzpatrick s. Collins will resume work in
terrupted year ago on the extension of the
St. Paul and Manitoba railroad from Seat
tie, Wash, to Assinaboine, Mont. This
railroad will develop some of the richest
sections of the states of Washington, Idaho
and Montana
Contracts are now in process of fulfill
nent Tor $50 miles on the line of the Rock
lsianG 10 Galveston. This $50 miles, begin
ming at Mingo. l. T, will be completed
within the next ninety days. The Rock
Island is going TO the Mexican gulf, and go

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe will
build this year eighty miles out from Car

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

MINERALS AND STONES.

The above statements are easily made,
out when ii comes to describing the build
ing materials and minerals of this wonderful
region it becomes a 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 of 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.

RESOURCES.

For Immediate business, Llano will be
the nearest railroad point to a farming
population of 81, 496 as shown by the gov
eminent census of June, 1890. Forty thou
sand people would be a low estimate on the
population to-day.
THIS ALONE will build a city of from
5000 to 5000 inhabitants and, as our town at
present does not number over 1900 souls,
''he who runs'' can see the plain fact that
lutely ALL lines of trades and professions,
and that property will go to city prices. in
stead of village prices, as they are to-day.

THE GOULD PARTY.
1t will Probably Reach Fort Worth to
Spend the Sabbath.

Spend the Sabbath.
The Gould party's movements are as much
a mystery to the officials in this city as to
the average man-at least as to where they
are going and just when they will get there.
While yesterday it was thought Mr.. Gould
would either strike Texas or Hot Springs
last night, it was learned that the party
was stopping over night at Alexandria, La,
and no doubt headed for New Orleans, then
to enter Texas from the lower route. That
he is coming to Texas is a settled fact, but
just when he will be in Fort Worth is
guesswork, but, as stated in yesterdays
GAZETTE, IL will likely be tomorrow night,
enabling the party to spend the Sabbath in
the railway center. Mr.. Gould is keeping
close to his private car, and very little is
seen of him along the route, but DR.. Mum
assures inquirers his patient is in unusually
good health and spirits

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 631:
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-
adjustment 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 un-
doubtedly be 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. Alreadya movements
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, a
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"

IA report comes to this city to-day that
the farmers along Red river to the east are
greatly troubled by new pest in this
county-the English sparrow 1t is oat
planting time, and the thousands of SPAR
rows swarm in the fields and separate the
kernel from the hull of the oat and actually
ruin the entire field. The only remedy the
farmer has is to SOW his oats in a furrow
and turn them under, thereby making
double the extra work This is the first
time in the history of North Texas the
English sparrow has come in such numbers,
and the question is from whence they came,
and how to exterminate them.
