MONTEREY, Feb. 9, 1894.
To the LIGHT:
The Bank of Nuevo Leon, which
was established in this city about
sixteen months ago with paid up
capital stock Of 100000, has COM
menced to establish branches in
the states of Coahuila and Tamau-
lipas. On the first Of February
they established bank at Tampi-
co and appointed Miago de la Las
tro & Co. their agents. On the
same date they established a
branch at Saltillo and appointed
Mr.. Marcelino CARA mana
ger. Between now and the
first of May they propose to estab-
lish branch at the Sierra MOjada
and one at Porfirio DiaZ, State of
Coahuila, and one in the City of
Nuevo Laredo, State of Tamauli-
pas. In order to carry on the above
firms additional banks, they have
increased the capital stock to
$l,OOO,0OU. The officers of the bank
are: Sr. V. L. Nillareal, president;
Francisco ArmendaiZ, Sr. T. Villa
real, UtemenO GalZado and Adolfo
Zambrano. Hon. Antonio Herman
deZ, manager.
BROKE GROUND.
Last week they broke ground for
the electric street railway. The
road will start from the Gulf depot,
go past the Guggenheim smelter,
the wire nail factory and out to
the TopO Chico hot springs.
Since the first of January two
mining companies has been organ
lied in this city. The "COmpania
Minera San Pablo" have in
creased their capital stock
$4,000. They now have a large
force of men erecting an air wire
cable trainway to haul the ore
down the mountain. They are
tunneling into the mines. When
they get that done, they will get
out 100 tons of ore per day. The
officers of this company are Jose
Gonzales TrevinO, President; An
tonic V. Hernandez, secretary and
f. A. Consoles & Co. treasurer.
The "Pilar Mining company" il
another that has been organized by
Monterey capitalists. The Pila
mines are situated a few miles thi
side of Durango, on the line of tn
Mexican International railway
The ore from those mines carry .
ounces OF silver and 40 per cent O
lead. The officers are: NIGGA
Margain, president; Teofelo MuriE
secretary, and Julio Joseph. treas
urer.
Mr.. John Rossiter, of this cit
has large force of men cutting
tunnels into lis mines in tn
Sierra de la Mitre.
There is every reason to believ
that active work will soon con

THE HISTORY OF THE PISTOL
That Ended the Life of Poor Ander-
son Harms.

That Ended the Life of Poor Ander-
son Harris.
The pistol with which Harris
was killed is in the possession of
the police. 1t is a large army
pistol, and was recovered from a
chile girl on East street, with
whom Vidal had left it. Vidal
SAYS Brown gave it to him after
he (Brown) shot Harris. The pistol
has history. 1t was purchased
by George Eckenroth about eight
years ago. He sold it to
his brother ed" and in Oc-
tober last, Ed, having no use for
it, sold it to Austin Brown. Since
then the long barrel has been re-
duced by three inches, having been
filed or Sawn off.
In talking Of this matter, Mr..
Eugene Dietrich, under whom
Vidal has worked for some time
says: 81 have known Vidal fol
some time to be most
honest and industrious fellow
Though he was very simple. don't
believe that he had any hand in
the crime, more than he had open
ly stated, and believe that Brown
fooled him by some plausible story
to induce him, innOcently, to take
the part in the tragedy that now
| jeOpardIzes his life"
The arrest of Mrs. Harris seems
to give general satisfaction, as the
people believe that she is the mair
cause of the trouble.

Care of Cooking vessels I'm pari.,

was particularly struck by the num- Der of cooking utensils saw heaped up in one of the rooms at the laboratory. "ConfiscatiOns of the inspector, said the chemist.
 'Do you survey kitchens, then?''
 Certainly, he responded. Every dish used in public restaurant of Paris, either in the kitchen or for the table; every pot, pan and utensil in the bakeries. and every beer faucet in the wineshop-in short, everything used in preparing or serving foods is under the care of the inspector. The law forbids the use of lead. zinc and galvanized iron in the manufacture of cooking ves- sells. It orders that all copper vessels be timed and kept in good condition. It directs that pottery which Is covered with a glaze containing enough oxide of lead to yield to feeble acid be seized. It orders that tin cans never be sol dered on the inside, and that the rIate- rials used in their manufacture be con- formed to n certain standard It is the inspectors business to look after all these things
 And the results:''
 That depends. There are establish ments in Paris, like the great restau- rants, which employ skilled tinner regularly, and their utensils are always in order. In many little shops kept by women the copper vessels arc the pride of the establishment, but in many oth- CTS they arc, unhappily, neglected In 1889 out of 215 samples analysed here 97 contained lead "-McClure's Maga- zine.

 They had not driven far up the street (whica at this time of night was very deser-ed) before his cabriolet was vio- lently pulled by man seizing the horke's head At the same moment an- other had entered the carriage, and a violent struggle had taken place between tho latter and the occupant.

Clearly the assas- sins were his two fellow travellers. the Italians from Monaco Hastily relating what he knew to the gendarmes, he set out quickly for the hotel. Arrived there, necessity obtained @ cab and conveyed himself and port manteau to the station. Fortunately the train was still there, and he was in time to regain his seat. As he sank back wearily against the cushions he said to himself.

He Told Him So.

I stood on tho depot platform talking with tho town marshal when n scrub look ing man rode up on n buckskin pony and asked of my companion:
 "Say, ar you the galoot who runs this townf"
 ''I am the marshall" was the quiet TO- ply.
 My names Scott am from tho head waters of Terror lake,
 "wcll, what of iti''
 I'm goin to turn loose"
 About whenr' qucried the officer, with . look of contempt.
 About DOW. Names Scott. I'm from the headwaters of Terror lake. Lakes shuck full of alligators all the year round, while the grizzly bar won't drink no other water.

 'Is Inc dangerous''' asked of the officer as the stranger rode off up town at n gal Top.
 "Humph! A Chinaman could run himr'
 Not more than live minutes had passed away when we heard shooting up the street, and both started on n run to asccr- tain the cause. It didn't takc long. We first came to n dead man, then to n wound cd one, then to another corpse, then to the man from Terror lake. He was down on the ground with two bullets in his breast, and his face hnd already become ashcn. His eyes wcre wido open, how ever, and as tho marshal bent over him he smiled and said:

The Hair.

The roots of tho hair are each sup piled with Q blood vessel of its own and with proper nerves. though the latter do not extend into tho hair itself. On the health of the roots of the hair the whole growth depends. On either side of the root and little above it are two small glands. which secrete an oily sub stance that gives gloss to the hair, and the glands serve to protect the roots of the hair from becoming clogged with dust Each separate hair is hollow tube and through its length is conveyed the food essential to health and growth -Pittsburg Dispatch.

and boom the town, and as not one in ten of his subscribers knows how to spell ''cat" they havo no fault to find with his news paper.
 The Little Valley Star reached us with n new head last week. The one 1t has used for the past two years was cut off the end of a saw log. while the new one has been carved out of n plank. It is m improve ment, however and we arc pleased to chronicle the fact. When VIC were over at Little Valley n few weeks ago, Mir. John son, the editor and proprietor of The Star, had just purchased an acre of ground to establish n private graveyard, and he as surcd us that he had at least six vic tims marked down for slaughter. On that same day, an hour after we left, n man entered his office with only club for a weapon and drove Mir. Johnson under the editorial table and made him beg for his life. He may pick up. however, and The Star may yet become the leading fam fly paper of the world, as he predicts. We shall at least say nothing to discourage him.
 The Rocky River Journal of last week referred to us on its alleged editorial pagc as viper, " coward, " office seeker" villain" and several other things. The Journal Is n four page weekly paper pub lishcd by n man named Otis. As most of
 
 prcss, with molasscs and lampblack. as a substitute for ink, we have neSsf been able to read except an occasional line hero and thcrc. Some two years ago MT. Otis was driven out of New Moxico into Utah. They shot him out of Utah into Montana, and tho Montana people kept him hanging at tho end of rope until he agreed to leave for Arizona. We had something to- say about these things n few weeks ago, not knowing that this Otis was the Otis refer rcd to, and of course hc feels like getting even. Well, we arc not saying anything. Some day we shall meet MT. Otis and take him by the ear and demand an apology, but there is no hurry about it.
 The Gila River Chronicle resumed pub lication last week after suspension of four weeks. The Chronicle Is the sort of paper to own and publish. If 1t suspends publication, no one misses 1t. If it runs right along for two or threc months with out n break all the boys drop in to tell Bill Jackson that ho Is working himself to death and ought to take at least six weeks vacation.

We gave William the stcrcotypcs for the seven columns of dead ads he has been running for the last year, and now and then we send him up the picture of a coal baron. an anarchist or a statesman, and he passes it off on his subscribers for Captain Kidd or Christopher Columbus. There was U rumor afloat that The Chron- icle had an income of S6i in eight months, but Bill personally assured us fortnight ago that tho sum was less than $40 He sleeps on the floor of the office, lives most ly on roots t.nd barks, and tho buckskin
