VIGOROUS COMPLAINT.
AGAINST THE MANAGEMENT OF
THE DALLAS FAIR.
Catalogue Issued Is "a MisreprcseDtR-
ton of nnd nm Insult to Many
Texas cities.

Mr.. Sidney Smith, Esq, Secretary Dallas
Fair Association, Dallas. Texas.
San Antonio. Texas, August 23.-Dear
movement for home patronage of homo
products has held many consultations with
our manufacturers as to the best means Of
co operating with you in your creditable
effort to give prominence in the Dallas fair
to the home industry work. 1t Is of the
gravest Importance that such work be CO.
operative throughout the State and as
harmonious as possible.
| Your association has apparently under
stood this in giving prominence to the
home industry idea and inviting the fac
tories all over the State to participate with
you In making this feature precautionary
successful.
| In view OF these facts 1t is inexplcabe
why you should so plan your elaborate
catalogue as TO make 1t a libel on fully one
half OF the State and two-thirds OF It's
Industrial development.
In your official list of manufacturers you
discrcdit the State abroad, insult the In
tellgenoo OF the public and fasify the
record OF Texas Industrial development.
You print so-called list Of manufacturers
ITO DATE" as though fairness was intended
and leaving the presumption that cities
omitted have not responded to your efforts
to obtain statistics; when, MS a matter OF
fact these omissions are deliberate and
cunningly planned devices to discredit
the greater part Of Texas, You brazenly
omit such industrial centers as Hous on.
Galveston, New Braunfels, Waco, Austin,
Corsioana and other active home indus
trial points, while insulting San Antonio
by crediting her with only one small fac
tory whereas she has many more than q
hundred prosperous manufactures with
hands. Her breweries are the largest south
OF the Ohio river and her shoe factory larg-
er than any south of Tennessee.
Such deliberate Misrepresentation must
arise from the fact that your Ideas OF this
sreat State In Its industrial development
) are confined to Wolfe City, Terrell, Bren.
ham, Dallas aud like metropolitan centers
while your conception OF the home indus
! trial campaign is scarcely broader thar
the motive OF local advertisement,
Certainly such spirit OF antagonism ant
such reckless misrepresentation of tn,
+ State furnish magnificent inducement I,
$ the people OF Houston, Galveston, Austin
5 Waco. New Brauufels San Antonio an,
!. the entire galaxy of prosperous. energeti
; cities OF Texas to patronise your fair whicl
deliberately adyertises TO the outside world
through the distribution OF thousands o
! your catalogues. that these largest elite
I, OF Texas are without industrial develop
: ment.
Resretting that the State fair" is s
confined to the city limits of Dallas. W
are respectfully. L. c. Irvine.
Secretary Business Mems Club.

STRIKE IN THE GOLDEN
REVENUE.
Large Ore Body Uncovered.

The owners OF the Golden Revenue
Messrs. McGill, Campton, Simpson and
D. c. Mcdonald, are highly elatcd over
q strike of ore that was made ON that
property this week, by Mr.. Mcdonald,
who, in company with Walter Rynear-
son, has been working on the claim for
about month. The Golden Revenue
lies just south of the Aultman and east
of the Chairman. When Mr.. McDOn-
aid began work upon it this season. he
he erected a whim at the top of an old
shaft which was already down about 20
#. and prepared to sink in systematic
manner until he should strike the ore
body which he believe to be underneath.
The formation was very irregular in
character, consisting principallyof shale.
with here and there a little seam Of
quartz which in places pinched out al
together Assays showed only about
81 to S2. 80 to the ton until this week,
when the ore body was struck at a
depth OF 1875 feet. The extent of the
body is merely matter of conjecturs
but all indications 60 to shew that it is
of no mean proportions. The shaft has
already been sunk over ten feet from
