At Altar MT. Louis lingo has es- tablished an agency for the exploita- tion and sale of mining property.
 It seems to be a settled fact that the railroan from Chihuahua to the city of Guerrero in that state, will be built at once. Final location Of the road is being made now.
 Dave Shaw a prominent railroad contractor is buying large numbers of mules and carts to put to work on the Patzcuari branch road which he has taken contract to build.
 Capt. Joaquin Chavez reached Chi hua city January with his monthly convoy of treasure from the mines at Batopilas. There were twenty-three bars of silver and two of gold, the total value being SS4,0 ,00O.
 Two Republics: Col. Antonio Mer- cenario, governor of the state of Guerrero, arrived at Iguala on the r of January, to make arrangements for the reception ,of President Diaz, when the latter visits lguala on the extension of the Cuernayaca railway to that city the last of April or first of May.
 A special, to the Globe-Democrat from the City of Mexico says: The National Tehuantepec Isthmus rail- road has been leased to Sir Weetman Pearson and son for period of fifty years. They assume control on April lst. The contractors will build the two harbors at Salina Cruz and Coat zacoalcos, and rebuild and rehabilitate the Isthmus railroad itself.
 Down in Guerrero J. F. D0wdng who has been prospecting in that state for the last two years has finally loc- ated some valuable placer claims and has also taken out large number of Announcements for quartz claims. Mir. Bowling proSpected steadily for a year with number of assistants before he found anything worth taking up but his persistence was finally rewarded as his claims now bid fair to become very valuable.
 Two Republics: Messrs. Reed and Gunny, the gentlemen who purchased the San Luis mine near Coronilla last January, in the state of Guerrero, are now negotiatiating for the mines and mill belonging to the CompaiIia MeXi- cana in the district of Nina. The mines are situated near Coronilla, San Nicolas del Orc and Tepantitlan and are about thirty in number The mines near Coronilla yield gold. Those near San Nicolas del Orc yield gold and silver and those near Tepantitlan yield gold, silver and lead. Most of | the ore mined from these properties | has been treated in arrastras. At present there is tiye-stamp mill on the San Cayetano aud we understand | 1t is the intention to increase this plaut considerably. The San Felipe mine still continues to yield very rich | gold ore. This is the only strictly | gold property that has been discover ed near Coronilla thus far All the others carry considerable quantities of silver also.

"Yes"
"You intend marrying her?"

PLAYED BY SECOND VIOLIN.
Impromptu Serenade Delights the
People of N Lake Front Home.

Impromptu Serenade Delights the
People of N Lake Front Home.
On the North side, in the shadow of
one of the fine residences close to the
lake front, a couple of Italians were
standing, one of them with violin in
his hands and the other holding a harp.
They were playing one of the popular
waltz tunes of the day, and as the win
dows of the house were opened to the
summer night the strains of the music
floated in to where the occupants were
seated. While the waltz was still in
the midst of its swing, tall man, in a
long cloak enveloping him, and silk
hat on his head, came around the cor
ner. He paused for a moment, and then
going over to where the Italians were
standing, he produced one dollar and
said to the men: Let me play them
serenade. 1 play second violin down
town."
In his hands the tall man carried a
violin case. 1t was only minutes
work for him to get his violin out, and
he laid it to his cheek and began to
play. His long right arm, with a Won
derfully swift. smooth sweep, coursed
up and down the strings with the fly
ing bow, and the music leaped from the
magic shell and fled away into the
night. Higher and higher the echoes
rose, the heavy chords of the G string
mingling with the shrill wailings of the
high notes, and the very air around and
about the player seemed charged with
melody.
In the house the people at first spoke
questioningly, and then SAT mute, fear
ing to lose a note of the marvellous flow
of melody. The music ceased, the peo.
pie rushed to the front door and down
the steps. But the tall violinist had
hurriedly thrust his fiddle into it's case
and was striding around the corner be-
fore they could catch a glimpse of his
face. They gave the two Italians lib
eral remembrance before they left, and
days after they learned the name, the
famous name, of their midnight SER
enader. And they will not forget at all
not in all time-the music they heard
that night from the second violin.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

and asked many questions in the en-

not crafty her curiosity and answered
ony in monosyllables.
My mind was in even greater whirl
of perplexity than my old nurses.
Why had Skinner tried to shoot me,
and why. after thus showing some pow
erful animosity toward me, should he
now appear such craven that he fed,
evidently in great fear, from my pres
ence? What was thefellow's real intent
and purpose in engaging himself to
Florence as a detective? Was he really
detective?
Jackson had recommended him to
Florence. What bond existed between
Jackson and Skinner? And, moreover,
who was Sonntag? These three men
seemed somehow strangely connected
with my life, but how and to what end

Mr.. Sonntag?" | finally asked.

"Yes, yes. But do you know anything

that her husband could be relied upon

Sure we can," Sarah replied, ex-

So he'll find wnoe'er that looks.

Many souls have thought TO rest.
Twice ten thousand maids and men
Faring far have come again,
Saying that nowhere there lies
Such a place beneath the skies.

All his manners debonair,
Who for heartsease far and wide
Traversed plain and mountain side.
He returning, came at length
Stripped of all his youth and strength.
Now that face once summer-bright
Cherries looked as winters night.
This report he gave TO me:
There's no place called Already.
Heartsease can nowhere be found;
I have searched the world around.
If It can, I'm sure that

And had never willed to roam

Was it really the face of Horace Jackson

platform handling some freight. The
| fellow really seemed to be ubiquitous.
! | had encountered him in Nelsonville,
in Sonntag's office, and now again at
the station attending to his duties.
His back was toward us and he did
not notice the wagon and its occupants.

wagon. / was curious to note again
what effect my presence would have on
the fellow. When l had moved some
distance from the team (for l did not

| ly along the platform toward the door
of the station house, through which he
! bolted.
But + was not watching him. His
| fight and the manner of it was per-
ceived simply because his form was in
the line of vision.
1t was upon the window in the
telegraph office that my gaze was fixed.
For, at my hail, face had appeared at
that window, and then was quickly
withdrawn.
Did my sight deceive me, or was it
really the face of Horace Jackson?
Following a natural impulse, I
sprang upon the platform and went to
the door. 1t was locked. Then l tried
the door leading into the ladies' wait
| ing-room, but that was also locked.
l walked around the place a few times
and peered into each window, but no
one was to be seen.
1t was no surprise that the fellow
Skinner should wish to avoid me, but
| if the other face | had seen belonged to
Jackson, why should he desire to hide
! from me?
Probably Jackson, having heard that
I was residing at Nelsonville, and know
ing that / must therefore have met
Florence Morley and have been in
formed by her of his contemplate man
ner of trying to win her, thought it
best not to meet me.
If he wished to avoid me he was at
liberty to do so. 1t was trivial eircum-
stance, at any rate, and so I left the
platform and climbed back upon the
wagon.
