Peculiar Prsition.

The mineral situation in BrewS.
ter county is a peculiar one, says the
Dallas News, and it is up to the
next legislature to provide rem
edy, not only to protect the school
fund, but to bring order out Of the
present chaos. The state for the
school fund is not receiving cent
of revenue from the cinnabar lands,
though they are being operated and
quicksilver is being mined as fast as
possible. For five years these lands
can be worked before patent is re-
CURED, and in the meantime the
state is not being paid for the ore
or for the use OF the property. The
mineral law permits this, for it does
not require patent to be taken on!
for Ave years after the award il
made. Thus the law allows the
lands to be worked that length Of
time without the payment OF one
nickel, and the more valuable or,
can be mined and hold in that pc
riod and the. claim abandoned, tn,
school fund robbed and the opera
tor makea clear profit.
Part OF the mineral land is claim
ed by two factions, one attempting
to purchase it as agricultural graz
ing land, and the others holding i
under the provisions OF the minera
law. Each side is afraid Of tn,
rights of the other, and therefor
they have not taken the matter in
to court. In the meantime tn
school fund loses money and certain
individuals are making money.

Colony Coming.

A colony Of 200 German families
is going to eastern Texas to occupy

West Texas railroad. Arrange

purchase OF the land, and the entire
deal will be completed soon. The
families have all signiiied their in
tentiOn to come, their agent is upon
the ground, and only the finishing
details remain. The location Of the
colony will be somewhere in the
neighborhood Of NacogdocheS on
land but recently cleared Of timber.
The immigrants will devote their
attention to the growing Of vcgeta
bles and the cultivation Of fruit.
All have been engaged in the bust
ness in the far eastern states, but
have become convinced that adyan-
tages in this country justify the
change. There the cheapest land
costs 500 an acre or more, near the
larger towns, and the market is late.
Here the necessary land can be Sc
cured for almost song, and the
vegetables can be shipped in perfect
condition, so as to command price
almost double that obtained late in
the season.

Minneapolis switchmen Have Not
Yet Presented Their Ultimatum

Representatives of roads centering In

strike. The switchmen were reported tc
have taken such action at meetings held
last evening in both Minneapolis and ST.
Paul. E-' = -. -
The switchmen want 10 per cent in
crease in their wages. They also want a
new set of rules, but it is limited that this
demand might be waived if wage in
crease was forthcoming. The offer tc
raise wages per cent, to which the roads
have consented, has been rejected.
The grievance committee of switchmer
met twice yesterday with the general
manager and several other officials Of the
Great Northern road.
General Manager Pennington of the Soc
road says there will be no strike.
1.-THE roads," he said to-day, "have
had several conferences with the switch
men, but as yet no definite agreement has
been made either as to wages or shorter
hours. This is the first I have heard OF
threatened strike. We have received
no ultinatum as yet, and have not been
