VALUABLE SAND.
1t Cost u Mexican Railway Company
Nearly 5000 Ton to Throw
1t Away.

Several months ago local company
bought a car load of crushed ore in
Mexico. Advices were duly and Off
cially received that the ore had been
shipped-2O tons of it. Weeks slipped
away, and the ore did not come. The
smelling company politely asked the
local agent of the railroad company
when it would arrive. The local agent
said he had never heard of it. The
smelling company then appealedto the
general agent. The general agent gave
it up-if it was q conundrum. Along
the line the question passed until it
reached potent official, who started
out tracer for the car load Of crushed
ore.
A tracer IS O document on which
every agent, train conductor and other
person who has had anything to do
with shipment must say whence he
took it and where he laid it down.
From the mine in Mexico the car load
Of ore was traced from junction point
to junction point, from station to sta
ton, until it was well within the rail
road company's local yards, and thence
to sidetrack by roundhouse, and into
the possession of the master mechanic.
\ car load of crushed gold ore looks
like lot of coarse yellow sand, and
this particular car load had been
knocked about and disrespected as car
load 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
note asking him Of the disposition Of
the car, giving its number.
The master mechanic tuGaled the note
over and indorsed on the back:
THE car contained bad quality Of
sand. Some of it used in the sand
boxes of the engines, but it was not
serYiceable, so had it scattered along
the right of way"
The railroad company paid. the
smelter company $3.50 ton for the
sand.-Kansas City Star.
