Gillespie Gold Mines.

Mr.. Geo. West, a mining expert
and engineer from Mexico, is in
the city from a five weeks visit to
the mountainous regions Of Giles
pie county, about % miles east of
Fredericksburg, in the vicinity of
Hudson's mountain.
He was examining the country
in the interest of an English syndi-
cate, it is said, trying, if possible,
to discover traces of gold, silver or
other mineral bearing quartz. He
reports success far beyond his ex-
pectations, and examined some
1000 or 5000 acres about this
mountain, in which he found a
galena ore which contained Of
gold from J ounce to II ounces
to the ton, and 81 to %
ounces silver to the ton, besides
lead, copper and other metals.
There were "a assays made and
these only from the outcroppings,
as nothing but surface prospecting
was made. Mr.. West says he has
been all over the country, but
never has he seen a richer surface
or finer promise.
Mr.. West and party of miners
intend to return in about three
weeks, fully prepared to sink a
shaft and prospect deeper. He has
purchased a mining right from the
owner Of the land.

ACCUSED FoRGER ARRESTED.

Charles PEBBLES Captured at Hous-
ton and Brought to San
Antonio.
Deputy Sheriff McCloskey ar
rived in the city from Houston
this morning and brought with
him Charles PEBBLES, alias l.. E.
Walker, wanted in San Antonio for
forgery. He is accused of having
forged the name of w. M. Barnett,
the ticket broker of this city, doing
business on Alamo plaza. Sheriff
Campbell had offered a reward for
his arrest.
Walker is said to be about thir-
ty-five years old and has a wife
and child, boy, about four years
Of age. He was placed in the cOun-
ty Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
He came to San Antonio about
four weeks ago and about a week
later wanted to engage apartments
for himself and family at "The
Bancroft" at No. 1926 st. Mary's
street, being conducted by Mrs. g.
M. Wickersham. He was introduce
ed to Mrs. Wickereham by
w. H. Folsom, a job printer.
He told Mrs. Wickersham that
he and Folsom were going to en-
gage in the railroad ticket broker
age business in this city and that
he had come from Chicago.
On being shown number of the
rooms he left and said he would
call again. He said he was then
stopping at the Coryell.
He returned, and two weeks ago
last Saturday engaged rooms at
the Bancroft. He registered as
being from st. Louis, Mo-, and gave
Mrs. Wickersham check for S25
on the bank of Rosenthal & Co., of
st. Louis. The check was endorsed
by w. H. Folsom. Mrs. Wickers-
ham grew suspicious about the
"check business" and upon inves-
tigation learned that it was prob
ably forgery.
PEBBLES told her week ago last
Saturday that he was going to
Fort Worth the following day,
but would return again.
Mrs. WiCkersham, on realizing
what took place, notified the
authorities. 1t was found he had left |
for Galveston and when arrested |
was at Houston.
He is also accused of having
forged the name of w. NJ. Barnett |
to two checks for $3.50 each, one |
payable at l.. WOlfson's emporium
and the other at Sullivan's shoe
store, |

Prompt Returns.

Mr.. Il. G. Adams says that when
a man goes into the dairy business,
he is going to get return for his
investment before twenty-four hours
are over, the cow declares dividend
before night You don't have to
wait twelve months; farmer in the
dairy business, running it in an in
telligent way, is in a business which
brings him in money every day in
the year; that is above the ordinary
contingencies of the weather, which
may affect your grain crops.
The farmer who is a dairyman is
stimulated by this quick return
which comes into his pocket each day
in the year; he becomes more of a
business man than the other farmers,
he is a manufacturer and he acquires
business sense and makes that study
of the market which all manufac-
turers must have to make them sue
cessful. He becomes sharpened and
frightened by contact with men in
other lines of business, he becomes
in short more of business man. An
other important thing is here; when
the dairyman sells 800 worth of pro-
Ducts from his farm, he is not rob
bing that farm of it's fertility. When
the farmer sells 500 worth of crops,
he takes $25 worth of fertility out of
the sOil.-Farmers Voice.
