El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-11-03

from Clinton, Mo. for the benefit o
his health several years ago and who
afterwards discovered q gold mine
while prospecting in southwest Chi
huahun is in the city. When he first
came to this locality Kitchens life was
despaired of but his health improved
rapidly. AS soon as he was able to
get about without assistance he joined
| a party of prospectors bound for the
mountains of Old Mexico. HE ate their
rough fare and slept in the open
air for weeks and grew
stronger daily. The party finally drew
near the summit of the mountains
where the attitude approached 5000
feet above sea level. This was too
companions were obliged to carry him
beyond the summit and when lower
nround was reached he Immediately
recovered. On the other side of the
range he discovered mine which is
TO-DAY yielding a handsome income.
1t is known as the Cebollitas and is
lis miles southwest of Parral. He is
at present arranging to establish a
plant of his own at the mine to avoid
paying freight on his ore
The mine has been operated about six
months and yields large quantities of
low grade gold ore. Kitchen has not
visited Ell Paso for year and is amaz-
ed at the amount of improvements
which have been made in the way of
new buildings since his last visit.
Some unusually fine apples have
been brought to this market durin g
sale on the fruit stands. They were
grown few miles above town along
the river. 1t is q fact much comment
ed upon by visitors that while fruit of
all kinds appears to be abundant here,
it commands high price and the
same orchard products are
purchasable in eastern mark
cts for the same money.
Many persons wonder if the Ell Paso
fruit dealers have entered into a COM
binatiOn to hold up the price. Berries
quantities and at this season they are
| looked upon as q great table luxury.
Many persons who winter here and re-
| turn to their homes in the north to
spend the summer months are more
apt to comment upon this popularity
than any other, they speak of Ell Paso
| as the place where straw berries are
| plentiful the year round.
This morning one of Ell Paso's lead
ing merchants, who is bicycle en-.
| west side of the pOstoffice to get his
| mail. After he went in some little
| boy in passing his wheel knocked it
down, and the fall broke the end of one
of the grips. The man came out and
when he saw that his wheel was knock
| ed over he was mad, and those near
| thought that he was going to ask bless
| ings on the boys head, but instead he
| began to tell the many reasons why
there ought to be a bicycle stand on
that side of the building for the use OF
the many riders. He said that when
| the wind blows hard it is impossible to
lean wheel up along side of the curb
| and when it is not blowing it is hard to
make one stand there, and he didn't
see why some of these enterprising ad-
vertising firms didn't put stand there
with an advertisement on 1t.
| Numerous citizens have been raising
howl lately because several youthful
| dog catchers continue to ply their vo-
cation although the dog days are a
| thing of the past. Some citizens ap-
continue their operations, but there
many of the stray CANNES as possible
for the reason that Ell PasO has enough
and to spare of dogs.
The oyster season is now at its
height and the toothsome shell fish is
being consumed by the gallon in e.
