company which will furnish an ahund-
ance of means to develop the property
discovered by the old Cascade miner.
Before leaving for the East MIR. Bazard

Thomas f. Adams arrived here from
Mexico yesterday and Will leave soon for
Alaska to look over the country for the
purpose Of investing in mining property.
when favorable opportunities present
themselves. Alaska Is not a new country
to Mr.. Adams. as during the Cleveland
administration he was a special agent OF
tho seal fisheries and had charge of a sta
ton on Boring sea. Since going 10 Mexico
he has acquired considerable mining prop
erty there. and his holdings are at Juz-
man. in Northwestern Chihuahua. To a
Post-Intelligencsr reporter yesterday at
the Hotel Seattle Mr.. Adams said:
when l was n Alaska IN the employ of
the government heard that gold was 10
be found there, but not In such quantities
as would warrant q man to look for ii.
l am determined to make another trip
north, and II l find property that suits
me l Will make investments. l expect 10
be accompanied 10 the north by H. w.
Higley, who Is now in Mexico and is ex-
pected to arrive In Seattle on the 10th.
Mr.. Higley was formerly a partner of ].
A. Moore. a weii-Auown Seattle man. As
strange ii may seem 10 you, | heard
more talk IN Mexico and Texas about the

country VII go 10 Alaska by the all
water route"
Talking abou. the feeling CT the Mex
lean people on the differences between the
United States and Spain, Mr.. Adams said.
.''rhe Mexicans are with the United
States to a man, and nothing would please
them better than 10 have our government
wipe the Spaniards off the face of the
earth. They want the independence of
Cuba established. The feeling against
high-handed Spanish rule is pronounced.
and IL such thing were possible the Mex
leans would take hand in the fight and
help the United States government The
people OF Texas are perhaps more wrought
IN and excited over the question of war
than any other state In the Union. AT
every place stopped while coming
through Texas | heard expressions Of IN
tense hatred toward the Spanish govern
nent. and / believe tina. in the event of
the honor of the United States being al
stake every man in Texas who Is suitable
for service VIII shoulder muskat The
full quota or the state militia was filled
short time after n war between the
United States and Spain was even thought
10 be possible. and the Texans who APP
piled for admission after the quota was
niied expressed the keenest dIsaupoin.-
msni when refused admission Patriot
ism throughout the South IS being mani.
Tested In very pronounced manner. and
any unpleasant feeling which may have
existed hstwsen the North and South has
been wiped ont forever"
Speaking OF Mexico in A general way.
Mr. Adams said; Everything IN ire
cQan'ry IS locking well and points 10

place for 4 poor man. Much cafAtal il
