PROSPECTING AT CORPUS CHRISTI.
Some Curious Specimens from a Well
Near the Bluff City.

Near the Bluff City.
Corpus Christi Texas, December Mr.,
r. p Garrison Of this city, a member Of
the local company recently formed for
prospecting for oil at the odd sulphur
mine on Nueces hay had on exhibition yes
terday some curious rocks which were ex-
cavated from the ground near the so
called sulphur mine One : a heavy speci-
men OF a lcadish color and sparkles, While
the other is OF u dark brown color and Is
imprcgnated with sulphur so strongly that
when q lighted match Is put near 1t it ig-
mites and sends out blue blaze which
burns for some time before going out. This
discovery seems to add much impetus to the
conclusion of the existence Of oil or some
valuable mineral iLsheddcd in a subtcr-
ranean stratum not great depth beneath.
The company which is to bore there will
begin operations as soon as the necessary
boring apparatus arrives, aud thus will one
OF the latent resources of this section (Which
will probably result In the discovery of a
sulphur minel be fully explored.

Sunshine in his heart, the rain would

Out of those tender eyes which ever

Where the moon may stream upon it,
And memory shall dream upon it.

they still keep on building memorials

should be done can be told in a few
words. Collect at least $500 900 or
more-I believe it can be had-no man
would refuse for an object SO sacred
and popular. With it build one monu-
ment-not several inferior ones-but
one, so grand in size, rich in material.

executive head of one to three, the
fewer the better, should be provided,
with power to appoint sub-officers and

compensation; otherwise they cannot
afford to devote themselves to the
work. Get speakers here and there,
canvass every county in the south and,
in my judgment, the 100000 would be
in the bank within a year. Col. An

slight scratch on his leg. The wound
was a matter Of great glory to him,
and he nurssd it through after days,
growing lamer with every year, that
the memory of his bravery might ever
be near him. One day, late in his life,
as he sat nursing his leg and ponder
ing the glorious past, a young man,
visiting the family for the first time,
approached and sympathetically re-
marked:

Perhaps. then, you have sprained

With q painful slowness the old
man lifted his pet leg in both hands,
set 1t carefully on the floor. rose slow

upon the unfortunate youth, burst
