'There are more buildings going up
in Ell Paso at the present time than
there ever were at one time in the
city's hi~tory,'' said a contractor this
morning. "Peop!e do not really real
ize the building boom that is poing on
because there is no great amount OF
furore made over the matter. Now if
the town was full of tramp real estate
agents they would be button-h"ling
every new arrival in town to buy cor
ner lot up on the side of Mount Frank
lin and the matter would be heralded
all over the country. Such however is
not the case as it is a natural growth
and every building in course of con-
struction has already been engaged
either for business or residence pur-
poses"

The GHOSTS OF The PIONEERS.
Down the arroyo and up the gulch
They march with silent tread,
Past the mounds in the old corral
That mark the unknown dead
Anechoing rnurmur fills the air
Of sorrow and joy and tears;
Over the mesa and out of the hills
Come the ghosts of the pioneers.
Miner and cowboy, rancher and scout,
Msn of the misty past,
Who lived their life of woe and strife
And died with smile at last.
Never a woman's cry of pain
Fell then on needless ears,
A friend in need was a friend indeed
In the days of the pioneers.
Long ere the Vandal eastern host
With their nickles and dimes and
thrift,
Long ere the voice of the expert man
Was heard in the tunnel or drift,
Men in the west knew little rest
And gave not a thought of fears,
But meaner race now takes the
place
That was filed by the pioneers.
Killed by Apacnes, shot in the back,
IT'S what many a man will say
AS be makes his bow at the big pow
Of the Lord on the judgment day.
And if Apaches have any souls
You bet there won't be jeers,
-
For the aost of the pioneers.

SPANISH MINES i'm TEXAS.

There Is TaIs of ReopeninG somo OF the
Old Ones.
The earliest settlers of Bell county,
Tex, found along the mountains north
east of Bolton and near Nolan's creek
what appeared to be old mines that fad
probably been worked by the Spaniards'
Indians or Actecs. Since then every
once in awhile there has been talk OF
trying to open the mines and see what
was in them, says the Galveston News.
They presented the appearance of deep
holes in the ground, some of which had
been partially and others almost en-
tirely filed with dirt. In.scme instances
bushes had grown in these places. In
one or two cases large cedar logs had
been placed over these mine-holes and
dirt thrown on them. Some people
have always contended that it would
pay to reopen and work these o.d mines,
but until now no one who desired to put
time or money in them.
The recent discovery of gold four or
five miles from Belton has given new
interest in these old mines. In one OF
these mines some men have begun work
in earnest, and are keeping at it from
day to day. They are not very ccm-
municative about their prospects tor
success, but this much they tell, that
in a short time they are going to ship
some of what they think Is their best
paving ore to the smelter at eagle Pass.
After it has been smelted they will know
more. Meanwhile there is O. good deal
Of interestabouti it around town.

taken place in fifty years. 1t is a rare thing

not read or write, and free schools at every

CRAzED WITH JEALOUSY.
LOVE FOR A MAN CAUSES TWO GIRLS
TO FIGHT A DUEL.
They Were About 10 Years of Age and
MANNERS of Good Families.

OcALA, FLA, Jan. 13-For love Of Ed
ward Melton, Marian Smith and Bertha
Floyd fought at Marti City, suburb Of
Ocala, this afternoon, and the former was
mortally wounded. The girls, who are
about Is years old, and members of re-
spectacle families, have been infatuated
With Melton for some months. Melton
would first favor one and then the other,
making each wild with jealousy by turns.
This afternoon Melton and Bertha Floyd
were walking when they met Marian
Smith. Crazed by jealousy the latter de-
manded that Melton choose between
them. Melton replied:
"You two must settle it.
The Smith girl then savagely attacked
Miss Floyd, Melton looking on. The girls
used only their fists, nails and teeth but
inflicted frightful Injuries. Miss Smith was
the stronger and finally bore the Floyd
girl to the ground, when the latter drew q
dagger from the bosom of her dress,
stabbed her rival three times in the left
breast, inhicting fatal wounds. Miss Floyd
is herself badly injured and there are fears

The County Newspaper.

We fear there are very few persons who
properly appreciate their county newspa-
pers. People who read them, and are
not satisfied because they do not furnish
more news of a general character, do not
realize how much hard work has been ex-
pended by the country editor in getting up
the very issue they are displeased with.
For one dollar year they are expected to
give a paper that should rival the weekly
editions of the city papers that are COM
piled from the matter prepared for the
daily issues, and which cost nothing but
the paper on which they are printed.
There is no paper that can or will take the
place of the local paper. 1t furnishes to
its readers news of local character that
cannot be otherwise secured. 1t expends
its limited means for the furtherance OF
all local enterprises and always has good
word to speak in behalf of its county and
its citizens. We trust our readers will
think better of Our efforts to please them,
and give us their cordial support and
approval.

blind. He can now see as well as ever, has
cut several teeth and his hair has grown
out again. The new hair is dark. At first
glance he looks like man of 40. The eyes
are bright and clear and emphasize the
wrinkles, and his cuticle looks like parch-

Mr.. Adams now has an idea that new
skin will come and the wrinkles disappear.
He is enjoying excellent health and be-
lieves he has many years yet to live. Mr..
Adams weighes 1876 pounds, is feet 8
inches tall and his shoulders are but little

He drinks no coffee, tea, or alcoholic
