J. Q. and +. w. Baylor, who have
been employed at the Terlingua quick
silver mines of Texas, arrived in
Clifton this week and will probably
locate here. They have been at Ter
liugua two years, and are positive that
it is the largest and richest nabar
deposit in the world. Three com
panies are now operating there, though
none ot them on an extensive scale.
The district i now producing 800
TASKS per month, which average 76
pounds each. Other companies are at
work developing properties. and will
eventually become shippers. TerlinCua
is situated in the big bend of the Rio
Grande, and not far from Mexico.
The place Is reached by wagon from
Maria. Texas. The camp contains
about three thousand people, mostly
MeNicaus. The labor i nearly all
done ny Mexicans at present. who
receive from SID to $50 per day
which is top wages IN that section. and
the men are well satisfied as it is
much better than they can do across
the river in their own country. The
Kansas City and Orient Railroad,
which it is expected will reach the
line oi Mexico in about two years,
will pass within fifty miles of the
camp. and it is likely that branch
will be run out to it. Immense coal
fields exist near the camp, which will
be an additional inducement for the
building of the railroad. One STRATA
of coal is said to be twenty-six feet
thick, Ad it is fine blacksmithing
coal. The coal land is owned by the
state. There is also good tim Der in
the same section and great abundance
of fine spring water. There is no
water at Terlingua. 1t is hauled from
the Rio Grande, seven miles.

Teachers Attention.

In accordance with the law pro-
yiding that the county superin-
tendent shall suspend all county
public schools for an equal length
of time during the Christmas holi-
days, all Lincoln county public
schools are hereby ordered
closed on Wednesday evening,
Dec. 23rd, and to reopen on
Monday, Dec. 2Sth. This decision
has been reached after consult
ing some of the foremost teachers
of the county. The schools are
now we'll organized, and it is
thought that a long vacation
would be to the injury of some of
the most successful schools. If
any teacher finds it necessary to
be absent for a longer time, she
will please apply to this Office
for substitute.
The next pay day will be on
Saturday, Dec. 10Th. There
may not be quite enough money
to pay the second month s salaries
at this time, but the county
superintendent will be at the
county teachers meeting, which
convenes at the public school
building on Friday evening, the
18th. Precedence will be given
to reports handed in at this meet
ing and every effort will be made
to provide funds for these.
Remember, we are working in
the interest of nearly ten thous-
and school children, and every
conscientious teacher should do
her part. 1t will be three
months before we will have an
other county teachers meeting.
Be present at this one.

Supt. of Education.
