CLIMATE.
Though so near the trOp 9
get the climate of this county
Al comparatively cool in sum-
mer. It's entire eastern front
of>aboul one hundred miles, be-
ing laved by the cool waters OF
the Gulf Of MEXICO, which great
ly tempers the heat natural to
southern latitudes. The pre-
vailing wind throughout the
greater portion Of the year Is
from the Southeast and comes
directly across the Gulf The
winters are also extremely rnild,
and make this an ideal place
for auV who seek escape from
the rigors al "a northern winter.
Indeed, no place In the United
states enjoys more solnbrions
climate during the winter sea
sou that Brownsville, the eOun-
tY seat of Cameron county.
Here the average temperature
for thirly-nine years was 70 de-

The land lies nearly leVel, the
altitude at Brownsville being
only - feet. The soil is rich
with the alluvial deposits OF
endless years, and it's treasures
of fertility are as yet almost
untouched only a limited por
tion Of It's surface ever having
been disturbed by the pillow.
In many places the soil lies
from six TO twenty feet deep,
being practically inexhaustible,
and this of the finist and richest
soil known, ranging FROM rich
dark allu7ial TO sandy loom.
The county is watPred by the
Rio Grande, which skirts its
entire southern boundary, d
distance Of seVenry-five miles.
Besides this there are numerous
small streams, called "resacas"
aud "arrOyos," throughout the

The Klondike Bar.

W. F. Mitchell, the inventor and
patentee of the Acme Flour Gold
Amalgamator, was in the city last week
from the Klondike bar ou the Colorado
river, where he has been for the last
ten months engaged in placer mining.
Although Mr.. Mitchell has had many
obstacles to overcome aud many hard
ships to meet, he feels we'll satisfied
with results so far, and is satisfied that
In due time mint of money will be
taken from the bars and bed of this
picturesque stream.
The Klondike bar is located between
Hole in the Rock and Lees Ferry. The
bar is at an elevation of about 100 feet
above the bed of the river, and the pay
dirt, which IS hard dobie gravel, is
loosened up by means of plows after
drst being stripped Of a covering of a
few feet of debris. The gravel is then
conveyed to and dumped into the mine
cars by means of scraper aud bridge,
the cars being pushed to the edge of
the precipice, where it is shot down
through chute to the Mitchell ANAL
gamator, the dirt doing over screens,
the pay going into the hopper, from
which 1t Is fed automatically into the
machine, the rock aud other valueless
material being diverted into the river.
The equipment of the plant, aside
from the am ilgamator, consists of
steam engine, which operates the ma
chine, as we'll As the centrifugal pump
which furnishes the required water.
The gold saver will handle fifty cubic
yards of gravel daily, although, on ac.
count of the difficulty of getting the
gravel to the mill, but forty yards is
now being treated, the dirt, at the
present time, going ..25s to the yard,
over 80 per cent of which is recovered,
the tailings showing le,s than one cent
to the yard. The gold Is very file, be.
ing what Is known as II )u"" gold, tax
ing 1000 colors to the cent, the metal
being very flakely.
The force consists OF six men aud
two team, in addition to which nine
pack animals are employed in getting
in supplies from Esca lante.
Mr.. Mitchell was called from the
river on account of the serious illness
of his mother, but doing his visit to
this city made arrangements for the
manufacture of his machine for the
