TEXAS in THE

IN THE ST. LOUIS FAIR

SenaSor Culberson, of Texas, wht
had q hne reputation in the senate a
constitutional lawy er,wss also held tt
be an authority on Texas'hlstory. dc
wrote the following argument to prove
that Texas was really a part OF the
Louisiana purchase and therefore
should have an important part In the
fair at St. Louis which IL to cOmmemor
ate that early expansion" OF our lano;
The paper is an Interesting one to Ri
Pssosns as 1t concerns the historic Rio
.Grande river.
LOUISIANA TERRITORY
Its western boundary the Rio Grands.
There can be no doubt that Texas
was q part of the Louisiana pur-
chase.
TIE territory now known as Texas
was discovered and settled by toe
French under La Sale, who landed
1855. At that time the nearest Spanish
settlement was In the proximity OF
Tampico. On this inject Yoskum,
in his "History of Texas, thus states
the historical facts:
The Spaniards had not yet pene-
trated east of the Rio Grande, at least
below the Paso del Norte, and LIS Sale
tab ish the fact that he was in I'd e
vicinity of one of the mouths OF the
Mississippi. Texas to him and his
people, and afterwards his nation, WIS
part of Louisiana: he hai discovered
the mouth of the great river; the coast
thence to the confines OF Mexico; h ad
planted a colony on one OF the river;
had stocked 1t with domestic animal,
and planted it with the seeds of hu-
bandry By all the rules, then. OF ma
tional law, apart from the ella m of the
Indians, the country WAS French, and.
IT they chose to call it so, a part of
Louis ana. The country was F-eno
10y right of discovery. To Spain it wa.
utterly unknown"
This claim was MAINTAINED, among
others, by Mess-s. Pinkney and
minister Of foreign affairs n 1905 and
by John Quincy Adams, the secretary
of state of the United States, In 1918
as appears from volume II of the Amer
lean State Papers. The -ame opinion
was entertained by Jefferson, Mad
ison, Livingston, Jackson and Van
Buren,.
OF Texas by the French in 1855 it was
included in the grant made by Louis
XIV, to CrOz 1t, Marquis du Chatel, in |
I7l2. 1t WAS subsequently, coded to |
Spain in 1761, and 10 1900 it wa
retroceded to Fraoce as q part of
Louisiana by the treaty of San Ilde-

TREATY WORKING WELL
Mexico And United States Coming
To Better Understanding.

That section of the extradition trea-
ty between the United States aud Mex
leo which permits each of the govern
ments party to the treaty to surrender
its own citizens charged with crimes
committed in the territory of the other
reports to the state department at
Washington. Doubts were entertained
at first that serious abuses might re-
suit from the new practice, and very
recently the Texas people were dispos-
ed to complain because the govern
ment of Mexico refused their spplica-
tion for the surrender of the Mexican,
Cor Zales, charged with having COM
mitted murder in Texas. As a matter
of fact the officials at Washington were
inclined to believe that the Texans had
failed to make out a prima facie case.
However, the ill-feeling on that score
seems to have diminished, as is evil
denced by the following letter received
by Solicitor Penfield, of the state de-
partment, who has to do with these
extradition matters, from r. w. Dow,
sheriff of Maverick county, Texas:
II beg to say to you that the extradi-
citizen charged with murder in Uvalde
county. Texas, was granted by The
government of Mexico on the oath
instant. 1t is believed by law-abiding
people along the Texas Mexican border
that this case. coupled with the de-
livery of Mrs. Rich by THE governments
to the Mexican authorities at Ell Paso,
Texas, will do more for the protection
of life and property along the Texss-
Mexican border than could in any
other way be accomplished. 1t is be-
lieved that the Mexican government
will carry out in good faith the pre-
cedent set up by our government in the
Rich case, and, believing, as I do, that
your decision in that case has been of
great benefit in this section of the
country, feel it my duty to MAKE this
report to YOUR departmeut.O

ues, present sources of supply will
soon be insufficient, unless production
at the big mines can be still further
stimulated. 1t is ubtful, however,
whether the prod uction of mines like
the Anaconda and the Rio Tiuto can
be very largely increa 5ed. And there
is another side Co the question that
must not be lost sight of-the more ra-
pidly an ore-deposit is exploited, the
sooner it will be exhausted. 1t is true
that there are immense reserves of
copper ore at Lake Superior, assum-
ing that the beds can be prodsably
worked.down to vertical depth OF 6. 900
to 1000 feet, but it seems likely that
even this source of supply will fail to
cope with the increased demandsof the
early part of next century, and three
or four decades will probably see it
exhausted. We are bound to assume,

JEROME GOLD STRIKE
The Camp Set Crazy BY Sample OF
Quartz.

jerome, Ariz., April 2.-(Special.) y
Never since the famous gold strike in
the May Queen mine by G. w. Hull,
when a small pocket of almost solid
gold YVES discovered, has there been SO
much excitement as that created by a
sample of ore brought from strike
made by M. E. Clure and Superinten-
dent Weeden Of the U. v 81 P. rail-
road in the Mineral Point district on
Saturday last.
Sunday the camp was all agog.
When two or more men came together
they talked Of nothing but the new
strike, and this was not strange, as the
sample shown contained more gold
than rock. It was without doubt the
richest find ever made in Ysvapai
county. The more men talked about 1t
the more excited they became and it is
estimate that more than seventy-fve
men left for the discovery on horse
back and afoOt during the night and
the u. v. & P. railroad took some
thirty more; while many went over the
mountainsj with burros and outfits.
There are now 200 in the district
locating claims, although the strike is
not yet two days old.
The new gold fields in the Mineral
Point district are coated on the line of
the U. V. & P. railroad, about fifteen
miles. little north of west from Je-
rome by rail and about eight miles 10
an air line. At present there has been
but very little work done on the loca-
tions. In fact, the very rich ore tax, n
from the Martha claim has been taken
from a four-foot hole.
The ore which contains the precious
metal is what is called by miners
rose quartz 1t is heavily impreg-
mated with iron. The country rock is
porphyry. The ledge in the Martins
has widened from one foot to twenty
three inches at four feet. A sample of
the rock taken from the Martha mine
assayed 965 ounces gold.
ANOTHER STORY.
Jerome, Ariz., April 2.-This city is
almost depopulated. Every livery rig
in the city and q special passenger train
has been carrying people to a point
eight miles north of Jerome on the
United Verde aud Pacific railroad
where an enom ously rich vein of free
gold was discovered by section hands.
The ground where the quartz is found
has been prospected for many years
and heavy cuts made through it by the
U. v. 81 p. railway. Very little
work has been done on the discovery
claim. A sample assay shows twenty
three Thousand dollars ton. The
quartz is white.-Pboenfx Republican.

OsMAN DI6NA IN HIS PRISON
He SympathiZed With An English
man Because He Was A Chris

l have today had long conversation
with an official who came up from
Suakin to Suez on the same steamer
quite friendly with the captured chief.
When Osman was brought on board
the government steamer Behereh at
Suskin he was handcutfed, and very
carefully guarded, but as soon as the
vessel got out to sea he was given 8
cabin and allowed comparative free
dom. For some time he remained in a
silent and taciturn humor but the eff
feet of kind treatment, which was
totally unexpected, and, therefore,
all the more appreciated by him, led
him one day into a recital of the events
leading up to the death of the khalifa
and his own capture,
He said that on the fateful morning
when they were surprised by the
Egyptian forces under Colonel Wiugate
be was commanded to get together
all the stores and women and retire, so
that, in case anything should happen,
the treasure (?) should not fall into the
hands of the .'Turks''
Osman obeyed orders, but it was ap-
parent to him from the first that there
was no hope, and as it was impossible
to take away or save the women and
stores, be ran away by himself. He
states he ran for five or six miles with
out battling, and did not stop to take
food all day. In the night he halted
for an hour only and then again ran

completely exhausted when he arrived
in the mountain for which he was max
ing, having covered the whole vast dis
sacce on foot.
Atnthis mountain, he asserted, he
would have been perfectly safe but for
treachery of man who had hitherto
always been his best friend. This trail
tor-and Osman's eyes flashed as he
mentioned his name-took advantage
of Osman's hunger to sell him to the
enemy. Under pretence of holding q
fantasia in. honor of Osman's arrival,
he killed two sheep, and, while his
friends entertained him ran off to give
inf.rmation.
Asked if he were sorry that at last
he had fallen into the hands of his en-
emies. Osmsu replied "No, 1t Is the
meet my fate" being evidently under
the impression that he was to die. On
arrival at Cairo the sirdar wished t.
speak privately with him, and for that
purpose the carriage in which he was
brought up from Suez was run into a
siding. Osman watched this perform
ance with much trepidation, and ste ao-
lastly refused to leave his seat. He
finally asked to see the commander of
the steamer which had brought him
from Suakin, and on his being brought
to the carriage he asked what they
were going to do to him. Ee was spo-
ken to very kindly, and after b lot of
persuasion finally believed they intend
ed him no harm. whereupon he kissed.
with much show of thankfulness, the
hand of his informant. He asked later
what religion the commander of the
steamer professed. aud when told that
he WAS Christian he replied, sadly,
81 am so sorry he Is Christian, for
he locks like good man."
The sir6ar and officers present shook
hands with their captive before he left
for Rosetta, where he is to stay. I
understand be will have comparative
freedom, but will be required always
to rest in the same building at night
time, under guard, along with the
other important emirs captured ty
Colonel Wingate. 1t would be interest
ing to learn what Osmsn told the
sirdar. 1t it quite possible he has i'm
parted some valuable Information ss to
the mysterious treasure said to be buri-
ed somewhere in the Soudan. In any
case, as cabled you last night, Colonel
Wingate left for Omdurman the day
his interview with Osman,
and it Is quite within the bounds of
that the secret of the hid
ing place of the treasure has at last
been revealed.-London Telegraph.

facts in the case have already been

Mrs. Lewis has delivered up the
child in accordance with the decree of

woman seems to be deeply attached to
the little girl, but says she will not OPP
pose anything for her good. She is
willing to return her to her relatives
and only asks to be allowed to see her
once in awhile, but she objected to her
being sent to an asylum as was at first
proposed.
Mrs. Lewis Gays che has always done
the very best she could for the little
girl and tried to raise her properly and
to have her "a much as possible among
