Is WILKES BOOTH ALIVE

Newark, O., April Is
Christopher Columbus Ritter,
who arrived from Germany in
the winter OF 1864 and through
j. Wilkes Booths influence
secured a position in Ford's
theater, tells a story of Lincoln's
assassination, claiming that
Boston Corbett shot Edward
Fuchs, an actor resembling
Booth, and not President Lin
colu's assassin
Ritter is well eluoaee3 3
his character is ,.uose reproach.
He declared that he assisted
Booth to escape and that the
two sailed for Brazil May 2,
1865; that he soon left Brazil,
but met Booth by appointment
N Hamburg eleven years ago
and on that occasion Booth gave
him pictures of his children
born to his South American
wife. These pictures, bearing
a strong resemblance to Booth
are now in Ritter's possession
Ritter says he heard from
Booth last winter and that he
was on the South AmericaI
stage.

WILL DEVELOP A
NEW COUNTRY.
Route of the Mexico City, Tam
pico & Rio Grande.


City of Mexico, Tampico & Rio
Rio Grande Railroad, the fol-
lowing from the prospectus
compiled by A. G. Berchelmann
of Mexico City will probably
prove of interest.
Mr.. Berchelmann is an emf
nent scientist and civil engi-
neer. He has travelled over the
entire route and made a thor
ough and detailed examination
of the resources Of the country
which the road will pass.
The line will traverse the
northern portion of the States
of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and
the entire breadth of Tamauli-
pas. After stating this fact
Mr.. Berchelmann says:
This entire region is known
for its remarkable agricultural
pastural and mineral wealth,
and for salubrity of climate.
The road will traverse a well
watered and undulating past
ure land,supporting large herds
of horses, cattle and sheep. A
large portion of these lands are
subject to cultivation and have
extensive mineral and coal de-
posits,"
He states that the road be-
tween Barroteran and Laredo
will pass through the towns OF
Santa Rosa, Aura, Sabinas and
Progresso. East of Laredo to
Matarnoros the road will pass
through the towns of Lobos,
Sauz, San Jose, Guerrero, Car
RIO, Las Auras, Mier, Roma,
! Villa Nueva, Camargo, Rio
Grande City, San Miguel, Rey
nosa, Hidalgo and a number OF
others, all of which comprise q
population of $4,000 people
The road Will pass through
many important towns, besides
a number of others which viii
be tributary to the road. Re
ferring to the coal fields of Bar
roteran, Mr.. Barchelmann says
The coal fields of Barroter
an, which invest this railway
with so much importance anC
value, comprise an area Of for
ty-tive square miles, aggregatint
a sum total of 110,70O,OOO tons
of coal, or at the usual mode o
calculating, will yield 500
tons per acre, These fields arr
contiguous to the we'll know
fields of San Felipe and Hondo
which lie to the northeast 0
the Barroteran coal have beer
! submitted to Prof. Wauklyl
of London and Prof. GeOrg
Gootz of Milwaukee for an
alysis, who report that the.
contain 8 per cent fixed carbon
10 at - per cent ash, maxim
IS per cent coke. 1t compare
with the Collinsville and Ne'
| Castle coal and coke. The prir
cipal vein averages betwee
: Eve and six feet in thickness:
and is found FROM $50 to 20
feet below the surface. 1t il
cludes two veins of shale, eac
o about about six inches thick
The daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1892-1897, 1895-04-19

can be developed to yield an
output of 100000 tons of mark
etable coal per annum by tie
time the road reaches the mines.
There is found in close prox
unity to these coal fields hem
attic and magnetic iron ores of
superior quality and in great
abundance. Prof. r. T. Hill of
the United States Geological
Survey says in his report on
these properties that there are
at least 1000, 900 tons Of ore in
sight and the mines rank among
the great iron deposits of the
the world"
Speaking of the Rio Grande
Valley, Mr.. Barchelmann says:
"These lands will produce
from one to one ana one-haif
bales of cotton per acre; 5000
pounds of sugar; 40 to 90 bus
hels of corn; 60 to so bushels
Of oats; 1900 pounds of beans
per acre, and tobacco equal in
quantity and quality to the
finest produced in Cuba, be-
sides many varieties of fruits.
Two crops of corn, oats and
harley can be raised each year .
Speaking of the Laguna Ma
Dire salt deposits, he says they
are rich and ineXhaustable
The report continues.
This salt is now being tran
sported by OK carts, a distance
of $50 miles, to the Mexican
Gulf Railway and from there
distributed to the commercial
centers and mining districts Of
the interior. There is great
demand for this salt for metal
urgical purposes in the treat
ment of gold and silver ores
besides great consumption fol
cattle and domestic purposes

For several days it was known that
Hon Jason Glllett was quite seriously
i'll at his home up tho Gunnison, but no

consequently when the announcement
was made Saturday afternoon that he
had passed away, it came with shock
of surpise to the many friends he had
made during his brief residence here.
On Sunday morning a number OF
prominent cities drove out to assist in
bringing in the remains, sig Knight
Templars, r. f. Williams, r. S. Kelso,
H. Hammond, A. G. Butler, j. Ralph
Phillips, and Geo. Stephan, acting as
pail bearers and escort. The body wac
brought in and shipped to Salida for in
terment, accompanied by Mrs. Gillott
and hor two sons, Ed and Jay, and their
families
Mr.. Gillett was born at Avon Springs,
New York. and at the age of thirteen
moved with his parents to Richmond,
Mich. where he was married to Phoebe
Lewis in 1858. From there he moved to
Alpena, Mich, where he conducted a
grocery until 1877, when he came West
and located at Silver Cliff, Colo, at
which place he conducted the same line
of business In 1885 he bought out
Webb & Corbin, wholesale and retail gro
GERS, at SaIida, continuing the business
there until he sold out to come over

just onesyear at tho time of his death,
and had made many friends during that
