/ Mr. Henley has recently become stock

This land lies from two to FIVE miles

This company contempiates establishing
headquarters in Quanah at once, building

capacity Of 300 tons daily.
They have also bought the mills and
property of the Texas Plaster company at

.Vaco, Texas, December 16.-Concerning
the establishment of a gypsum plant In
Texas, Colonel S. r. Smith who was a
Texas ranger twenty years ago, says that
Texas can supply the entire world with
gypsum. Immense beds of gypsum, Colo
neI smith says are In several OF the
northwestern counties. through which the
tributaries of the upper BrazOs flow, and
from these beds, during the flood, the en-
tire Brazos river becomes impregnatei
with hydrous sulphate oil lime, whlcn is
the true gypsum OF commerce. When tho
floods recede any observer may notice
with gypsum deposits and that the plant
leaves over which the water has flowed
are calcined with the mineral.
Colonel Smith says that he believes in
the course Of time trainloads OF gypsum
Will be brought down from the upper
counties. and that it is OF such excellent
quality that it will lind a market in other
lands. From the Texas gypsum the very
best plaster OF paris is manufactured and
it is already well known wherever plaster
of paris is used.
These deposits of gypsum, colonei
Smith says, will become one of the great
sources of wealth of the Lone Star State
and will cause demand for large body
OF the university land which has hereto
fore been held at comparatively low
price and will add materially TO the reve-
nues of the State university

Hope for the Safety of ves-
sells Long Overdue.

BOSTON. MASS, Jan. S.-The owners of
the Boston brig Mary Gibbs. Captain Hor-
acc Coombs, now 120 days out on voyage
from Newport News to Para, Brazil, have
abandoned all hope Of the vessel, although
they still believe there is a chance that
the crew may have been rescued by some
ship bound either to the Pacific or some
remote quarter of the globe.
The underwriters who hold policies on
the vessel also believe she is lost.
The Mary Gibbs carried eight men and a
cargo of coal.
The owners and underwriters have given
up the schooners Howard H. Hanscom,
from Philadelphia. November %, for Provi-
dence; Ida H. Mathis, from Philadelphia,
Nov. 25, for Newburyport; James B. Pace,
from Philadelphia, November 25. for this
port. and William o. Snow, from Newport
News, November u. for Salem. These ves-
sells were all coal laden and carried crews
Of seven or eight men each. 1t is believed
that all of them foundered in the terrible
gale of November q and that their crews
were all lost.
The policies on these vessels will be paid
after two months have elapsed from the
date of their sailing.

preparing to settle the losses.
The underwriters stand ready to pay the
loss on the four-masted schooner King
Philip which was lost off Cape Cod. with
all hands, in the November hurricane and
have offered to discount the policies, but
the owners prefer to wait the time limit
and receive the full amount.

MADE ROBBERY A SCIENCE.
Remarkable Career of the Thief Who
Stole the Sutherland
Jewels.

LONDON, Jan. S.-The thief Of uncertain
name known as Harry the Valet" who
on Wednesday pleaded guilty to stealing
the Duchess of Sutherland's jewels. proves
to be an extraordinary character. The
Judge postponed sentence in order to en-
able him to inform the police as to what
became of the bulk of the jewels. Of which
only $1,000 worth out Of $125.0OO contained
in the stolen satchel were recovered. The
prisoner, however, says he will not "split
on his pals"
He is Of genteel appearance and has
grand air and a frank, engaging look. The
prisoner boasts he has made twenty big
ger 'hauls" than in the case Of the Suth-
erland Jewels and claims he reduced rob-
berry. to a science. making it his business
to know everybody OF wealth and conse-
quence in Europe. He said he rarely made
a mistake, owing to his cautious prelimi-
naries, and declared that the only serious
mistake of his career was when he rob-
bed the Duchess of Devonshire Of a Jewel
case and found that he had taken paste.
Harry the Valet" appears to have made
great deal Of money, for he lost sew
eral thousand pounds in one week at
tastes and lived at a West end hotel. FL
nally, he was betrayed, in the Suther-
land affair, by former actress, who In
formed the police of the share he had
taken in that robbery. Otherwise. there
is every reason to believe that he would
never have been caught, as the police
had no clue to him.

DISABLED in MlD-0CEAN.
Steamer Hestia Toyved to Port, Only
to Go Ashore in . Gale
Yesterday.

ST. JOHNS. n. F., Jan. s.-The British
steamer Anglican. sixteen days out from
London for Boston, arrived here to-day
towing the British steamer Hestia, twenty
four days out from Glasgow, in ballast for
Baltimore.
The Hestia encountered terrific weather
crossing the Atlantic, and on Sunday last
her tail shaft broke. Shortly afterward
the Anglican came alongside, stood by her
for three days and nights, and then took
her in tow, reaching this port after four
days. The Hestia was constantly swept by
heavy seas. and her upper works were al
most battered to pieces.
When the steamers anchored in the har-
bor to-day severe gale was blowing. The
Hestia drifted ashore on the south side of
the harbor, striking stern on, in which po-
sition she still lies. The Anglican endeav-
ored to tow her off, but she also struck,
though, after hard efforts, she got off.
The gale is still raging, accompanied by a
binding snow storm. 1t is feared shipping
in the harbor may suffer severely during
the night.
