AS Captain Rosseter has been one
OF the most successful railroad build

| there ls every reason TO believe that
he will be success at mining. He
seems to be made that way.
The La Fontura mining company

now running a cross cut which will

| which they will be able to get out
and ship to the smelter about 100
tons of ore per day. If the ore that
they will get Gus of this mine will
come up to what they have taken
out it will pay for itselfin six months.

PERSONAL.
On the 18th Captain John Rose ter
and wife left for San Antonio in the
"Sierra Mojads" the private car of

manager of the Monterey and Next.
can Gulf Railway, and returned
Saturday. They went to San Anto-
Mo to spend week, but they got
in the cold blizzard that
swept across the continent and they
had to stay within doors while there.
Captain Rosseter is prominent
railroad builder. He has been con-
nected with the Monterey and Gulf
road since they broke ground in this
city in 1889, and stuck to it until he
laid the last rail on the wharf st |
Tampico. ...H
His mission to San Antonio was to
see what prospect there was for build.
ing the road ION to Llano," from that
city. If the San Antonio capitalists
cannot raise the money to build 1t,
and II they will turn the franchise
over to him, he will furnish the CAPT
tai and build it for them, On condition
that they will not talk politics 10
him or his men while he is building
the road. eff
Captain Rosseter thinks that if the
people of Texas would tie up the
politicians instead of turning them
loose that they would build more
miles of railroads, and erect more
factories In the next three years than
they have in the past six years. Just
look at Mexico: You do not hear
the Mexicans talk politics. They do
not talk about anything else but
building railroads, opening mines,
erecting smelters and building facto-
ries. What Texas wants most is more
railroads, factories and less politics.
Captain Rosseter Is undoub tedly cor
rect. Texas should tie up her poll
ticians and give capitalists a chance
to turn their money loose. ..
1T SHOWED.
A portion of the cold wave that
struck Texas on the 10th reached
this city that night, so that next day
there WAS SNOW on the mountains.
The 18th was the coolest dav of the
season. 1t was damp aud chilly, but
not cold enough to do any damage to
fruit or crops. This was the first
time that the "oldesJ inhabitant,"
ever saw snow on the saddle
at this season of the
year.
Mr.. Max Luther of Corpus Christi
and bride, nee Miss j. NJ. Weld en-
