GOLD UNDERLIES TEXAS
Farmer Finds Ore While Clearing
 Field

Galveston.-Gold has been found in Jasper county, Southeast Texas, about eighty miles northeast of Beaumont.
 J. F. Felkins, farmer, while using dynamite for clearing field of tree stumps found in an excavation what he believed was coal. Analysis proved it to be gold ore, and two assays show it to be high grade yellow metal-$60 in gold and 20 per cent. copper. An old miner instituted an investigation and began expressing samples to va rious assaying plants.
 Carl Saunders, an expert from New York, reported that he handled some of the ore and pronounces it fine quality. He says that from the crude explorations made within the past two weeks the field is shown to be exten- sive and he believes a heavy vein of the precious metal underlies Eastern Texas between the Nueces and Sabine rivers.
 Nearly 100 acres of land have been leased by an eastern syndicate com posed of New York and Pennsylvania moneyed men, and it is reported to- night that $1,OOO,OOO has been paid for small section of ground close to where the first discovery was made.
 Excitement is running high.

Lava

Chicago.-Special dispatches from Guadalajara, Mexico, say: "Violent eruptions of the Mount Colima vol cano have caused the inhabitants of the country immediately adjacent to the mountain to become alarmed. Many of the people have left their homes and sought safety from the ashes and lava.
 "The most interesting feature of the eruptions are the earthquake shocks which are felt in the region of the volcano. These disturbances are of unusual severity, but no serious dam- age has been reported.

Alarming Plague Affects Cattle

University of California-A mys- terious cattle plague has broken out on a ranch in Gonzales, Monterey county, and an appeal has been made to the animal industries department of the University of California with the result that an expert has been sent to the scene of the trouble. The dis ease seems to be different from any thing that has ever appeared in the region before. The symptoms first ap- pear in flow of saliva from the mouth, the cattle finally going wild and rushing about with extended heads and straddling gait. The afflicted animals die in from six to fourteen hours after the first symptoms. An autopsy on two of the dead animals revealed the fact that all was practi- cally normal with the exception of the brain, the covering of which seemed to be almost black.

lays in handling freight after it was on the tracks.
 The past year conditions have been worse than ever before, and strong effort is being made to interest all the large lumber, grain, stock and fruit shippers in the proposed law. It is be- lieved that if these four great ship ping interests combine congress can not well refuse to take some decisive action.
 The proposed law would be quite an innovation, for while various states have laws to control the freight traffic there is no federal enactment that can properly control freight traffic in the manner desired by these shipping in- terests.
 The bill provides that the railway companies must receive and com mence to carry freight within five days after notification by the shipper that such freight is ready for trans portation. Failure to comply on the part of the railroad shall entitle the shipper to a penalty of $10 for each day after the expiration of the five days grace. The act will apply not only to the railroad which receives the freight, but also to all connecting roads, and at no time will lack of re- quisite equipment on the part of the railways be an excuse for failure to receive and forward freight.
 The erect of this measure if enacted into law would be the investment Of vast sums in additional equipment and would undoubtedly curtail somewhat the dividends now being earned by the great railroads, the transcontinental systems in particular.
 As might be expected the money in- terests behind the railroads will line up solidly against the proposed law, and the lumber interests have already taken steps to have fixed representa- tion at Washington, until they secure victory or suffer defeat.

WANT MORE FREIGHT CARS
Shippers Will Ask for Remedial Leg.
 iSlati0n

Congress is to be asked to enact law regulating the movement and SUD- ply of railway freight cars The Southwestern Lumber association, with headquarters at Kansas City, is behind the movement and has asked the cooperation of the Los Angeles board of trade. While the shortage of lumber cars primarily led to the agitation the remedy proposed would compel the railway companies to fur nish an adequate number of cars to shippers, both lumber shippers and others; and it is contemplated that the railway companies shall also be compelled to supply sufficient equip ment to enable the handling of freight without material delays. For several years shippers have complained of lack of freight cars, and it is claimed by those advocating remedial legisla- tion that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been lost because of de-

Oiled Roads Made Hard

A new way has been found to make oiled roads hard and they ought to last lifetime The Pacific Oil Repor- ter gives an account of the work as it is done at Huntington Park, just south of the Los Angeles city limits, which is said to make a pavement as hard as asphalt. The plan Is to mix the oil and earth and then stamp and press it. The first step in the process is to

blow up the roadway and saturate it with water, which is followed by a thorough soaking with oil. Then 28,- 900 pound roller is run over the road way. There are long spikes on the surface of the roller, which serves the double purpose of packer and a mixer. Then the road is treated again with water, oil and roller. After this two-ton roller is run over the road. By this time it is as solid as a rock. It is then surfaced and is ready for use.

Secretary Shaw Sends Request for an Appro priaton of $585,O0O and Equipment and Arms for the Militia

Washington.-Th house has made available the sum of $250,000 to be used to meet the emergency caused by the ravages of the cotton boil weevil and other insects affecting cotton. The sum is to be diverted from the half million dollars appro- priated last year to eradicate the foot and mouth disease among cattle.
 MT. Gillett of Massachusetts called attention to another insect-the gypsy moth-which had been brought to New England, and which, he said, was equally dangerous and should receive attention with view to it's extermi- nation.
 He offered an amendment for an ad- ditional appropriation of $250,000 for the eradication of the gypsy moth.
 MT. Wadsworth made the point of orde" that this was not germane, "a, it was a new appropriation.
 The speaker sustained the point of order against the amendment and the bill was passed without. division. It provides that the sum made available may be expended by the secretary of agriculture in such manner as he shall deem best, in cooperation with state experimental stations and practical cooton growers, if the secretary of agriculaure shalll deem it advisable to meet the emergency caused by the ravages of the cotton boil weevil and other insects.
 The house then went into committee of the whole to consider the pension bill.

 The pension committee rose at 2:25 p. m., having acted favorably on 115 bills, twenty-nine of which were sen- ate bills.
 The house passed the 115 bills in twenty minutes.

William G.. Higgins, editor of
the Mining Review OF Salt Lake,
who is recognized as an authority
on mining, says that Nevada is
the richest mining territory in the
world. "The eyes of the entire
country are turning toward Ne
vada," he stated last evening TO a
Reno Journal reporter, "and the
next few years will see a develop
ment in your state that will sur
pass all her past mining achieve
ments."
Mr.. Higgins says, that in his
opinion the San Pedro, Los An
geles and Salt Lake road, now
being constructed, will open up
many new camps of great richness
in Nevada. ut will also reopen
many old camps" he said, "that
were abandoned many years ago
on account of the depreciation in
the price Of silver. In the days
gone by these camps were operat-
ed at a great profit, although their
ores were hauled for long distances
across mountain and plain to the
smelters. With the advent of the
railroad and the new process of
treating ores, their product can
now be mined at a great profit"
he added, "as you will see for your
self when the new road opens for
traffic" Mr.. Higgins said that
the officials of the road at Los An
geles claimed that it would be
opened by January LIST.
