GOLD HUNTERS.

The Stonewall neighborhood is
being treated to q fousingsen
The cause thereof is a bufied trea-
sure, or rather rumors of sburied
treasure. The old Comanche trail
leads along through this neighbor-
hood, although ~ has long been
crossed and recrossed many times
by fence and pillow, This trail was
III use years and years before this
Country was settled up. There are
scores of stories and legends Of
buried gold and other treasures
along this old trail. 1t was most
used by Mexicans, and most of
these stories are associated with
them. Stonewall is picturesque
place at all times and seasons. The
view over the vast expanse Of bot
tom lands to the westward is sim
ply grand. Among the old settlers
and present inhabitants of this
place are Jacob Key. Tom Thomp-
son. S S Cole, J P Curry, j M Bell,
James Bailey and others. Stories
of money buried in different local
tiles have long been current, and
while the older heads smiled and
shook their heads when they heard
of them. there were younger spirits
vino believed that meath the sods
could be found Spanish Doubloons
and glittering gems. Some three or
four years ago a trench was found
near the home of Mrs Reeves whore
treasure hunters had been digging.
The hole was about six feet deep
and had been sunk at the foot Of a
live oak tree. An examination OF
this hole was made by those living
near, and it was found that the
roots of the tree had been cut many
years before, showing that some
thing actually had been buried
there. 1t was never known who
dug this hole or whether treasures
had actually been uncovered or not.
l
For the above we are indebted to
Mr. Wiley Thornton, now of Sinner
but who was resident Of the
neighborhood at that time.
Something like a year ago a
young man who was living, with
Jacob Key was informed by a splr.

The cold norther Friday night
did not cut any figure in the ball
at James Baukhh's. The girls and
boys went there just the same as if
it had been pleasant night. Jim
told the boys they had better put
in their time. as it was the last
dance he was going to give. but l
think he is just Joking. One of
our young men at the dance became
heavily ladened with that good old
"bug juice" which rendered him
unable to tote himself. He tried
to hold himself up, but became
weakened and "drapped" to the
floor. After he had rested awhile
some ofthe boys asked him how
he felt. He said he felt like he had

ltullst In the North that there was
money buried under large live
oak tree that stands in the corner
of the Stonewall grave yard, on
Tom Thompson's land. He at once
obtained permission of S S Cole
and Tom Thompson to dig there.
In the course Of his labors he COM
pletely uprooted the oak tree, but
found nothing. The matter then
rather died out to be resurrected
few days ago in full force. About
ten days ago two or three horsemen,
to judge by their tracks, entered
the pasture Of ] NJ Bell at night
and excavated trench about 800
yards west OF S S Coles home. The
trench is about eight feet long and
six feet deep, and as the soil is
very hard and compact at the bot
tom it was no mean undertaking.
At this place stone stands which
bears curious markings and four
live oak trees form q perfect square,
the trench being in the middle.
What adds probability to the re-
port that money was found is the
fact that broken kettle, rusty
with its sojourn in the ground, was
found where the gold hunters had
dropped it.
Meanwhile hole has been sunk
in Keys pasture, near the school
house. Several men were at work
on this trench. Some parties with
dipping rods put in appearance and
work progressed under their di-
rection. We have not learned that
anything was found,
Mr. Bell, when preached on the
subject, smiled and said: Yes.
the people out there seem to have
gone wild, but l tell them that the
best way to get money out of tina !.
ground is to plant good crops of
cotton and corn"
Mr. Bells remarks reminds us of
an old story in Wilson's fourth
reader. An old farmer who was
dying called his sons about him
and bidding them farewell told
them that there were vast treasures
buried on his land, which they
should find. Giving them no fur
ther information about the matter
he breathed his last, and was hard
ly under ground before his sons
began turning up the soil looking
for the money they supposed was
buried there. Every foot of the
land was turned, but no treasure
was found, but as result of the
general string up of the soil they
harvested an enormous crop that
year. The eldest brother scratched
his head and reflected and as a re-
suit of his reflection said: "Boys,
| guess that was what father meant
when he spoke of treasures buried
in the ground" and he pointed to
the big pile of cotton bales, to the
cribs bursting with corn and to
long racks of millet and hay. And
he was right.

GIANT LOCOMOTIVES.
Heaviest Railway Engine in the World In
old Mexico.

Heaviest Railway Engine in the World In
old Mexico.
The heaviest locomotive in the world
was made at Providence. r. l., and is
in daily operation on the most difficult
and mountainous section of the MeXi.
can Central railroad. 1t weighs 26OO
pounds, or 100 tons, and is especially
designed for mountain climbing.
The railroad men call it Siamese
because it is, in fact, two locomotives
permanently united. 1t is used for the
purpose of freight trains, and is unique
in the mechanical world.
The locomotive was designed by F.
w. Johnston, and his professional rivals
said that it was impracticable. The
sGme was said of the first railroad loco
motive and of the pioneer steamboat.
The locomotive is double i'm all its parts,
in fact, two locomotives enc to end,
with n single cab in the center. One
single stiff frame carries the two boil
ers and driving mc2haniSms, each ma
chine resting on three rollers which are
placed close together. The difficulty
OF running this colossal engine on com.
paratively short curves is met by so
arranging the fore and rear parts that
they accommodate themselves to the
curves. The engine, therefore, despite
its great length, can go around much
shorter curves in safety than the ordi.
nary single locomotive.
The mechanical arrangement of the
driving wheels was the chief difficulty
met with by the builder. The crank
shafts of the driving wheels are provid-
ed with immense ball joints near the
cylinder heads, so that when the driving
wheel assumes an angle other than 90
degrees in reference to the frame the
crank shafts connecting with the cylin-
der heads and the driving wheels follow
the movement of the wheels without
injury to the engine.-.N. Y. Journal.

SEEK TO EXTEND COMMERCE.
Foreigners Ask Information of the For

Foreigners Ask Information of the For
eign Consular Onices.
The state department representatives.
abroad, mainly those stationed at the
European cities and centers of trade. are
constantly in receipt Of inquiries from
business men at home regarding The
methods of extending commerce. Re-
ports are sent to the state department
giving this advice, but somehow it is
never followed, and the old, expensive
and unproductive methods are pursued.
! The department is in receipt of long
letter on the subject from William d.
Warner, the. United States consul Mt
Cologne. He writes that he has many
inquiries from those who export goods
and that nearly all complain of lack
of results, while more expensive and in
ferior material is bought, for instance,
in English houses.
Mr.. Warner says this is due principal
ly TO the fact that American business
men rely almost entirely upon circulars.
They plaster Germany with printed
matter, all of which is ignored. The
only way to engage trade is by direct
negotiations, by personal work. He adj
vises the sending to Germany of good
agents, intelligent men acquainted with
both the English and German Ian
guages. He warns Americans also not
to stop with German agents at the sea-
ports, but to send men into the interior
and sell direct to the merchants of Ger
man inland cities and towns.
Mr.. Warner says he appreciates the
cost of such system, but he suggests
that humber of firms might combine
and secure the services of one agent,
who should travel in their joint intere st.
He cites the experience of one American
firm which followed this advice and sent
an energetic agent out to solicit bust
ness. The result is that last year the
agent took orders for $780, 900 worth of
the material he was selling-N. Y. Sun.
