MINERS AND MINES.
We met this week number of
miners, who give glowing reports
about the mining business in the
states of Neuvo Leon, Coahuila and
Tamunliras. The Messrs. Dignowity,
of san Antonio, spent few days in
the city, and then left for Coahuila
and Durango where they are interes-
ted in min es. Major Jules A. Rsndle
and parry of miners paid the La
Union mines a visit Monday last, and
brought back with them several spe-
cimens of rich ores. They brought one
specimen of metallic iron ore, which
consisted of sulphide of iron, metallic
iron, sulphide of lead and native sill
yer. This was the first specimen of
that kind of ore that has been dis
covered in the Mon terey district An
analysis of this ore shows SO per cent
iron, Is per cent of lead and 80 ounces
silver to the ton.
DIR. It. G. Mills, superintendent OF
the Nuevo Leon smelling and refin-
ing company of Monterey, will leave
this evening with q party of capita.
lists to examine some mines IN Du-
range. Mr.. C. F. Flynn superin ten
dent OF mines at Villsldsma and
Lampasas, was in the city this week.
He Informed us that they are getting
out some rich ores.
Many of the mining men are very
much interested in the PRESIDENTS
ell, elton in the United States. They
say that If Cleveland Is elected that
they will have free trade and that
they then will be able to flood the
United States with silver and lead
ores; but II Harrison is reelected that
they will have to find q market for
them in Europe.
Personal.
After Sam Jones commenced 10
preach in San Antonio, many OF the
citizens told their friends that they
had important business to look after
in Monterey, so they packed their
grip sack and started for this wonder
land. AS some of the women had
some doubts to their husbands leav-
ing home at that particular time, they
concluded that they would come also,
so they packed their trunks and came
here with them.
Mrs. J. V. Dignowity informed
Edmond that the reason that the Col.
left San Antonio at that time was,
that if he stayed at home he would
have to take his family TO hear Sam
Jones preach and might get scooped
in; and as he did not want to join the
church yet he concluded to take trip
to Mexico. Mrs. Allen Mccoy told us
that il she would 20 with Mrs. Dig
nowity that she could stay as long as
she wanted to and that he would be
real good while she was away. Col.
J.P. Cruger heard Sam preach one
sermon, and he was afraid that if he
heard him preach two that he would

had business in Mexico also.
Then there was Capt. J. L. Plnker-
