Poor but Valuable Sand

Several months ago a local company
bought carload o crushed ore in Mexico.
Advices were duly and officially received
that the ore had been shipped-twenty tons
OF 1t. Weeks slipped away, and the ore did
not come. The smelling company politely
asked the local agent of the railroad COM
pany when it would arrive. The local agent
said he had never heard Of it. The smelling
company then appealed to the general
agent. The general agent gave 1t up-if it
was a conundrum. Along the line the ques-
tion passed until 1t reached a potent official,
who started out tracer for the carload of
crushed ore.
A tracer Is a document on which every
agent, train conductor, and other person
who has had anything to do with a ship
ment must say whence he took 1t and where
he laid it down. From the mine in Mexico
the carload of ore was traced from juno
ton point to junction point, from station
to station, until 1t was well within the rail-
road company's local yards, and thence to
sidetrack by roundhouse, and into the
possession Of the master mechanic. A car
load of crushed gold ore looks like lot of
coarse yellow sand, and this particular car
load had been knocked about and disre-
spected as a carload of common sand
should be.
When the officials were notified that the
tracer had chased the car to the master
mechanics track, they sent him a note
asking him of the disposition of the car
giving it's number.
The master mechanic turned the note
over and endorsed on the back:
1.-THE car contained bad quality of
sand. Some of 1t used in the sandboxes
Of the engines, but 1t was not serviceable,
so had It scattered along the right OF
| way"
The railroad company paid the smelter
company $50 ton for the sand.-Kansas
