A Novel Competition.

Congressman w. A. Smith, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, began life as news
boy. He is a very tender hearted man
and never forgets that he once held q
hum BILE station in his life. Some time
ago he gave little "blowout" to the
newsboys of his native town
and made short speech to
the little fellows in which he impaired
some sound advice. In concluding he
promised the boys to secure q position
for one of their number in the Grand
Rapids government building. In or
der that there might be no discrimina-
ton, he suggested that the little chaps
indicate their choice by q secret
ballot. Accordingly several names
were put in nomination, and for
two or three weeks a hot campaign was
on. The boys entered into the contest
with the spirit of veteran politicians.
Huge placards with the Inscriptions,
"Vote for Willie Washington, ''Vote
for Tommy Stone," etc., etc., were dis
played about the town on dead walls,
billboards, in the newspaper
Offices and the newsboys' meet.
ing places. Finally the selection was
made, one little fellow beating his
nearest competitor by two or three
votes. True to his promise. Mr.. Smith
put the elected candidate in the prom
ised place, and he Is now drawing $40
of Uncle Samuel's money q month.

Ell paso's Tin and Other Mines.

A reporter for this paper, says the
Fort Worth Register, met Professor
Cummings, assistant state geologist,
yesterday and had an interesting con-
versation with him concerning his re-
cent trip to Ell Paso and vicinity where
the tin ore was found. Professor Cum
mings said that twelve miles north of
Ell Paso q vein OF tin ore crops out 400
yards long. 1t is only necessary to 60
down into it to develop one of the
richest tin mines in the country.
In the neigh borhood are silver, zinc,
and gold, all in paying quantities.
Copper ore is very plentiful, running
forty-eight pure.
The strata containing the ore are
tilted up and broken off, Masking 1t all
very easy to mine.
The professor has been in the west
ern part of the state about two weeks
and speaks enthusiastically of the
magnificent scenery.
