it returned in perfect condition last
month. Meantime a special case had
been made for it in this country by tie
celebrated maker. Jas. Boss. The
watch is catal3gued at $3.50.
The second is q silver-cased, jeweled,
duplex escapement watch, made ny the
celebrated Pateck of Geneva. On the
dial is representation OF an enameled
Paris clos K with visible gold pendu-
luu, which isfun by the balance and
RIMS the same in any position. As far
as has been learned this is the only
watch of the kind In tke world. A
giCbetrotter who lived several Ca: ) in
Nngales. Loaned frienI of his (the
original owner) 500 gold on the watch
in "a foreign land, aud kept it under
lock and key until finally he learned of
the death of the Ownsr. Over % years
after eettii G tn, watch. tho glohe-
trotter di' and 1t came to the present
owners hands by purchase. 1t, also.
has been sest To different cities in the
United States in the hopes of lesrning
something of its value or history. Bat
no one had ever seen or heard OF a
like watch before. Mr.. Pellegrin did
not know of its existence until after
the Nogales owners death. or he
might have learned something import
ant of its history from MIN.
The third watch with history is
gold start, stop and fly-back chIono-
graph which onced belonged to the
chief of police on the Mexi: TN side. A
Year ago the owner brought it to Pslle-
grin Il Bstshore to be pat in order and
have a new gold case Made for it The
case WAS made i'll Chicago. but two
days after it arrived in Nogales a sneak
thief entered the store. and while the
proprietors' backs were turned. stole
the watch from the show case and ss-
capped acr.ss the line into Mexico
Diligent search was m .de for the watch
and liberal rewards offered for it's re-
cOvery but to no avail, and the firm or
dered Al new watch at their expense for
the owner. About I h rec mouths later
n Mexican watchm tker walked into the
store and ask5i To barrow some money
on gold watch. Mr. PelIegrin at
once recognized the lost chrOnograph,
having a-cemplete Descriptions. mum
hers. etc, ia his register. He held the
watch. had the man arrested apd tried
on the Mexican side, bat the cu!prit
could not be- proven, and Mr.. Pellegrin
was glad to pay the court fees and get
his watch back
fourth watch. priced more highly
by Mr.. Pollegrin thln the othe =. is a
silver cased cylinder watch made by hi,
father at Geneva when he :: a. learning
his trade. He not only made he watch
complete, from case to movement. but
he also made his own tools and models
from which the watch was. made, all
by hand. The works are thinner than
"a silver dollar. it has eight ruby jewels
and the case has gold joints ii very
high grade watch at the time it was
made. This watch has run for sixty
years. and still keeps better timo than
Inc ma jority of American watches.

stantly, and only once has any one but

A Great Mining Region-Some OF the

Northern, Mexico. particula Elliu

Thus spoke to the writer one Of our
most prominent mining engineers, and
who is a mine owner in more States
than one. His reasons for so believing
are ii a. though Mexico has been nros-
pected for hundreds of years. only the
surface of the country has been touch
ed. The early Indian and Mexican
miners under the rule of the Pad res
never did any dead work. When vein
was struck. unless il was very rich, it
was soon abandoned. If rich, it was
worked by following the lead. In sink
ing, the miners would, at a depth of
few feet, make platform and begin
sinking again. The ore was always
carried up on the heads Of The miners in
'rinajas" or rawbiCle buckets. tna usual
weight being about one hundred pounds.
Tho means of ingress and cgTess WAS a
aotched rO'e from platform to platform,
room being left at Zach platform for
resting. Wherever their work reach
cd water level work was abandoned, IS
they had no means except the use of
The rawhide buckets OF rcmo:;ng the
water.
Thery. is hardly u prominent mine in
Sonora today but has be5n worked in
this primitive manner. Another reason
for tho slow Development was that uo
TO few years ago the ApGches made
frequent and bloody raids through that
section, and woe to the miner who was
caught without plenty OF backing.

MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED
A GIGANTIC COMBINATION or CLOTHING
MAkUfAC ! uRfRS.
Options on $50 Houses. The Proposed Com
pany to Have Capital Of 100000
600. Plans Prepared.
Baltimore SUM

One of the largest Industrial combina-
tiols of recent years in being formed by
baltimore enterprise.
Options have been secured on 100 large
clothing manufacturing establishments
throughout the country by Mr.. Samuel
itosenthal. .Jr. Of this city, who for the
past four months has been actively en-
gagged in forming u gigantic clothing
comhlne TO be Incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey and to be known as
the American Clothing Manufacturing
Company.
The company. it is understood, will
have Il capital stock Of S1OO,O0O,OO0, dl-
vded into shares Of 800 each. Capital
invested in the different plants will be
paid for in cash and preferred stock,
while the net earnings viii be computed
for three years past and common stock
issued in proportion to the business done
by the concerns during that period. The
stock will be divided about equally.
BY the formation Of the combine. which
is one of the greatest yet undertaken, 1t
is estimated that many millions Of dol
lars will be saved annually to the cloth
ing manufacturers. This win not mean,
it is said. any increase in the cost of
garments nor a deduction of the wages
of those employed in making the cloth
ing. A saving lis contemplated in the
matter of rents, statesmen. Transports
ton. freight, branch houses and clerical
help.
The products of the houses to be ac-
quired by the combine during 1898
amounted to about $10O.000.000. 1t is
intended to purchase only those concerns
which it is believed will be beneficial
alike TO themselves and the company
AN the houses wanted. it is understood.
have given options. and it now remains
Cnly to have the plan financed to make
this combine a reality. The financial end
is now being felevolped with every as
surance OF success. The earnings of the
various firms will be calculated by ex-
perts. who will go over the books of the
various houses. Upon a conservative es-
innate the average annual net earnings
of the concerns asked to join the COM
bine are about 5000. 900 ON an estimat-
ed capital of S4O.00O000. and this under
conditions peculiar and adverse. Under
the plan proposed it is said that as
tute business men have been very favor
ably impressed with the possibilities of
the new combination.

cred one of Baltimore's brainiest busi-
ness men. He is a member Of the firm

THE CALISAYA JAG.
Like Others Of It's Kind it Has It's
Drawbacks.
washington post.)

THE calisaya jag is making headway
in Washington" said an observant drug
gist. ut is chiefly favored, l notice, by
young married men, probably because
the callisaya jag doesn't make itself
manifest in the breath. 1t is a bad
proposition at that, as all purely COM
promise jags are-the ginger benzine,
alcohol, cologne and red-ink jags, for ex-
ample. l experimental with a calisaya
jag myself last summer. Once was
enough. A man with a properly devel-
oped calisaya jag will walk nine miles
through snow knee-deep to bite his
mother. He is also liable to pick his
own pocket. He will club himself on
the head with piece of lead pipe and
then have his grandfather pinched for
assault and battery. On the following
morning he'll feel as if he'd swallowed
sealskin saque, just the same as if he
had put in the night before hitting up
Dreyfus swizzles or Dom Paul gurglers
There's nothing dreamy or poetic about
a calisaya jag. A man doesn't have any
fun with one unless he's breaking his
pet dogs legs or doing something like
that. It's the Oneriest jag extant. It's
got to be fed every twenty minutes or
so, too, or it dies dismally, and a dying
calisaya jag is worse misery than being
left at the post on 1 to 8 shot. You
want to pull up the rose bushes in your
back yard and shoot at birds nests with
an airgun. You want to get rebate on
the gas bill that you paid nine years
ago, and to swipe the aigrettes out of
your wife's bonnet. A man who, when
he gets properly corned on the right
kind of good red liquor will want to give
away his watch and chain to a cab
driver, will smash his own kids kite
sticks when he falls under the evil in
fluence Of a calisaya jag. But they're
bucking it, all the same"

WANT ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Greensboro Agitating for a Competing
Line.
Greensboro Record.)

The Southern Railway people them
selves realize that another road is com
ing to Greensboro sooner or later.
There is too much good "meat' here to
let one company have it all.
Since the Southern has acquired the
old c. r. and Y. V. line from Sanford TO
Mt. Airy there has not been any talk of
a public nature going on looking to
another road coming in, but some quiet
investigations have been made to this
end.
Truth is there is great opportunity
offered the Norfolk and Western and
the Seaboard Air Line to come to see
US. Both these roads can do so at very
little expense considering the great bene-
fits to be derived
For instance, the former now goes
to Winston; the latter's nearest point
to Greensboro is branch road leading
out to Pittsboro. From Pittsboro to
Greensboro, the most direct route, is
about thirty eight miles, but the COM
pany, should it decide to come here,
will want to take in a different route
and get in all the factories in reach.
With this end in view a route has, we
understand, already been surveyed
from Pittsboro via Graham, Burling-
ton, Gibsonville and on this way.
Now what would be nicer than a
traffic arrangement with the Norfolk and
Western whereby it is to run a line from
Winston to Greensboro, the Seaboard to
connect with it here?
Not only is it extremely feasible, but
it is being talked and there is a pros
pect of its ultimate consumation.
