New York Dry Goods house Gone to
Wall

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE an
nouncement that the dry goods house
OF VIM. l.. Strong and company found
ed thirty years ago by the late Mayor
Strong. had gone into the hands of a
receiver shook the business community
The house was supposed to be as
solid as "A rock and worth at least a
million dollars above all debts.
Financial complications of charac-
ter which as yet are shrouded in mys-
terry. were the cause of the receiver
ship.
A report from Philadelphia this
afternoon says that an attorney for the
Griswold Wooden company. which has
secured attachments against VIM. l..
Strong and company. said in an inter
view that the failure would be one OF
the largest in years and that the liza
bilities would reach six millions.
Edwin A. Treat, who will act as re-
ceiver. refused to discuss the report
this afternoon.

NIGHT CAUTAlSIY
1t Is Believed that Fen EyCk Stan s
6OO1 Chance

The night captain OF the police force
is to be appointed tomorrow night and
there is some talk today of n dark
horse being run in at the last mo-
ment. but it is generally conceded that
the race is between Ten Eyck and
Winkler with the chances in favor of
Ten Eyck.
1t is a fact not disputed that Ten
Eyck is the choice of the greater por-
ton OF the business men and he has a
good record as an officer to back him.
MIR. Winkler is now acting as night
captain and is a good officer but the
general impression is that he lacks the
experience that Ten Eyck has had as
an officer.
However the race is a hot one and
| the friends of both parties are working
hard for their man.

NATIVE COPPER
Valubie Mine Discovered Near Non
tsZumd Mexico.

ID. Ford who has been prospecting IN
Mexico for several weeks, returned to
FL Paso last night with evidence of
the best of success.
He has some specimens of pure ma
tive copper that are almost half solid.
The mine was found near Montezu-
ma. about 100 miles south of here on
the Mexican Central road and only
about six mics from the track. He
came here to arrange to examine the
property thoroughly and determine
what is really its worth. So far he
has not made an examination of the
prospect but thinks it is very valuable.
He says that the vein is on top of the
ground and can be seen for over 100
yards. The pure copper is showing
and if the vein is a large one the
property must be worth thousands OF
dollars.

J A. EDDY Has Been Summoned To
Chicago On important Matters
Pertaining To Railroads.

All indications are that something
definite will be known about the ac-
ton of the Rock Island and White
Oaks railroads within a few weeks.
J. A. Eddy. former general manager
of the White Oaks will leave tonight
for Chicago. and while he refuses to
give out the object of his trip it is
understood that he goes on a summons
from President G. B. Eddy. who is now
there to meet the Rock Island officials.
1t is believed that while in Chicago
Mr.. Eddy will close an agreement with
the Rock Island for the latter's trains
to run over the White Oaks into Ell
Paso and that the extension of the
two roads will begin in few weeks.
1t is also understood that both COM
panies have made all arrangements
for the extensions and nothing remains

Archives Of Pekin Contain
Manuscripts Valuable
To Students.
OLD NAYIGATORS
LANDED On American Soil
Two thousand Years
Before the Birth Of
Columbus.

CHICAGO. Nov. IA Washington
special to the Times-Herald says:
The archives of Pekin have given up
a secret that may lead to the solution
of a mystery that has baked every
student of American arcaeology since
the western hemisphere was first Wis
tied by Columbus
There have been found in the an
cient eastern capitol records that
prove concIusively that landing was
made on this continent by Mongolians
in the year 499 A. D.
This goes to strengthen the theory OF
many Americans that the Indian on ac-
count of his strong resemblance in
many instances to the Chinaman is
related to him.

To Reclaim the Arid Lands OF

Great preparations are being made
at Chicago for the meeting of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress on Novem-
ber 81 to %.
Although most OF the speil-binders of
the country have been pretty well ex-
hausted by political speech making
during the past two months. some of
the most prominent men of the coun-
try have agreed to address the con-
gress on the subjects of forest preser-
vation and natural irrigation.
These two questions have attracted
a good deal of attention during the
past year.
Everybody agrees that the future
welfare of a great part of the country
depends upon preserving our magnifi-
cent forests and water sheds. which in
most cases are sources of water sup
ply. and the national irrigation move
ment has pushed forward into such
prominence as to be the subject of
planks in the national platforms of
both the gre atpolitical parties.

taking Il deep interest in the problem
OF the reclamation OF the arid west.
which. IL the waters which now run
to waste were stored by the govern

proposition to save the forests and
store the floods" Senator Foster OF

Senator Perkins of California and 9TH
ers- The more technical side of the
question will be discussed by the gov
ernment experts on Forestry and Irri-
cation. accompanied by illustrated lee
lures in the Auditorium theater.
The business side of the problem will
be taken up by some OF Chica go's most
prominent business men. such as
Charles A. ..iallory. A. c. Bartlett OF
Hibbard. Spencer Bartlett Co..
James Deering of the Deering Har-
vester Co. George F. Stone, secretary
of the Chicago board of trade. John e
Springer president of the national live
stock association. etc. President James
J. Hill of the Great Northern railroad
will discuss the question from his
standpoint
II is estimated by the government
officials that there are about "a. 900 900
acres of arid land subject to reclarna-
ton through irrigation and that il
would require an expenditure OF about
one hundred and fifty million dollars
to accomplish 1t.
The proposition is that the general
government should appropriate ten or
twelve million dollars a year to carry
on this work as a species OF internal
improvement the same as in the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors. and
the various manufacturing associa-
tions have taken up the question with
n view to securing congressional ac-
ton in this direction.
The subject will be discussed from
every standpoint at the Chicago con-
gress.
