More than a year ago v z Thornton, ex-governor Of New Mexico, representing e strong syn- dicate of Chicago men, made ap- plication for a concession Co build system of electric street railways, offering to pay the city s400,000 for the use of the streets the rails might occupy. Very soon after Governors Thornton's application was made another American sym dicate, represented by A. w. Geist and w. A. Rogers, and in combina- tion with the General Electric Company, of New York, made ap- plication for the same concession, offering to pay the same amount of $400,000 for the franchise. In order to retain the exclusive pos- session of the field, Don Ramon Alcazar, on behalf of the Berme- jillo syndicate, of Mexico City, then agreed to pay the city $400,- 900 for the continuation and ex- tension of the concession under which they had been for many years operating a system of street cars with animal traction without paying the municipality anything and offered to convert all it's exist ing lines into electric system to the suburbs of Guadalajara, and to make other extensive improve ments.

 Mexican Herald: News from Prof Vim. H. Niven's party of ex- ploration at Placero del Gro, on the river Balsas in Guerrero, tells of the first cleanup from the 100- foot sluice box, which was the first but of apparatus put to work. This cleaning off of the surface gravels showed an average of 20 cents, gold, per cubic yard of gravel, and as the cost of shoveling this amount of gravel is but five or six cents gold, the profits are most gratifying. The boxes are soon to be put down to bed rock, when 1t is almost certain that gold will then be taken out in quantity. Prof Niven, in his experiments, has taken out pans from the bed rock gravels, which gave from as low as one cent to as high as fif- teen cents gold per pan-prospects which promise great things for the Washings at this level.
 Tampico Times: The experts of the German syndicate which is making arrangements for the pur- chase of the Mexico Balsas copper mines in Michoacan, are expected to reach Mexico from Europe dur ing the next few weeks, when they will proceed directly to the prop erty and send their report to the syndicate. The Balsas mines are located near the Inguaran mines, that were purchased from Carlos Eisemann by the Paris Rothchilds. In case the Balsas are purchased by the German sydicate, which seems very likely, there will be 3 great deal of mining development in the region of Michoacan in which the Inguaran and the Bal sas are situated. One of the pro- iects of the Paris Rothchilds is the construction of railroad from 8 point near Patzcuaro, on the Ma tional, to Inguaran.
 Jalisco Times: The largest de- nouncement of mineral land ever made in the State of Jalisco, was recently filed at the Etzatan office by Ferdinand Sustersic, general manager of the Amparo Mining Company. The Announcement covers 4,390 pertenencias, or all the free land included within the boundaries of the Embocada ranch, on which are located the Santo Domingo and other mines of the Amparo Mining Company. Frank c. Stevens is named as the en- gineer to make the official surveys during the four months allowed by the mining laws. The Embocada ranch has been the property of the Amparo Mining Company for some time. There are deposits Of gold, silver, copper and lead, besides those now being worked, in various portions of the ranch, and the com pany decided to secure control of all mineral veins by denouncing all the remaining land.

BALTIMORE RAT Is BROWN.
Rodents of That City Have Turned
Color-Reason for This
Change.

"Nhy have rats in Baltimore
turned from the familiar gray to
seal brown" asks the Baltimore
Sun.
This is the question which is per
picking a rat catcher who has
been in the rat business for many
years. He says:
81 have been catching rats for
more than 20 years in Baltimore.
After the big fire observed that
some few caught in different parts
of the city were of a seal brown
color. The seal brown rat was
rarity before the fire, but now
they Outnumber the old. familiar
gray ones. In a building in which
| was employed lately 80 per cent.
of the rodents caught were brown.
These rats are not in any one To-
cality, but in all parts of the city.
'"The fur of the seal brown rat
is long and much finer and softer
than that of the gray. The big
fire may have had something to
do with the change of color and
texture, but cannot explain why.
l only blame it on the fire because
/ can think of no other cause. /

have a commission to supply him
with number of rat skins, with
which he will experiment. The
fur will need no dyeing, as it is of
a very rich, uniform color. The
Japanese used thousands of rat
skins in the making of ear muffs.
for soldiers. ] have skinned some
of the brown rats. The skin is very
tough, and, no matter how you
stretch it, when released it will
resume it's original shape. l be-
lieve the skins would make excel
lent gloves, so, maybe, the seal
brown rats may become salable
for other purposes than for train
ing rat dogs"

TURKEY HUNTING IN TEXAS
Wild Birds Are Especially Numerous
in the State-Methods Used
in Shooting.

"SOme years ago was the
guest Of friend who owned d
ranch away down on the Nueces
river III the south, west of San Az
TONIC" said Mr.. 81. ]. Rice, of New
Orleans, to the Washington Post.
''The region abounded in game,
and wild turkeys were especially
numerous. Never having bagged
one of these birds ! was keen to GO
after them, and my host promised
to take me-
Owe started out on the hunt
and / could already see magnifi-
cent gObbler falling To my fire.
After walking several miles
toward the place where the game
was known to be, my friend re-
marked that it was as well to rest
awhile; and threw himself down
under the shade of MESQUITE
bush. This did not suit me at all.
for l was eager to 90 on. and re-
mOnstrated with him about los
ing valuable time. For answer he
rolled over on the grass and went
to sleep. at which ] was fred with
anger and had half notion to
go back to the house.
at was well along in the after
noon before he reused from his

and shoot them down. 1t was
just as he said, and about sun
down here came superb drove of
wild turkeys. Unconscious of
danger, they came almost upon
us before we let drive at them.

largest were stretched upon the
ground. After that ] never criti-

A PRACTICAL SAVING.

For the next few weeks there will
be a great deal of discussion over the
proposed aid TO the Great Bend and
Gulf railroad. While the day for
railroad booming" as 1t has been
understood in former years, is past,
we believe our people should look
with much favor upon the present,
proposed improvement, and from a
purely business standpoint.
This city and county are the very
heart of the great wheat raising area
of the west, and will remain so for
many years to come. What will
:, make better prices for wheat and the
milled products thereof will benefit
the larger number of people. In the
matter of chance for better freight
rates alone, laying aside the building
OF the town and surrounding territory
by the location of depots, side tracks,
ETC., we can well afford to vote the
aid asked in Greet Bend city and
South Bend township.
Today, the millers and elevator
men tell US, we pay 80 cents a hun
dred from Great Bend to the Gulf on
wheat and its products. 16 cents
from Great Bend to Kansas City, and
Is cents from Kansas City to the
Gulf. II is a crime and Injustice,
made possible by the east and west
lines. pooling their rates, because of
no competition.
Just think of it. The Santa Fe
hauls your wheat from here to Kansas
City; then turns it back and hauls it
to Newlon,ihalf way back, then south
to the Gulf; and charges as much
from here to Kansas City as from
that point to Galveston.
With direct road south the freight
should be not more than from Kansas
City to- Galveston, the distance is not
near as far. A saving of Is cents q
hundred to the wheat producer or
the manufacturer would pay the
amount of bonds asked many times
over in the course of a few years

reported last week. has gone TO house
keeping on the Frank Boomer farm
northeast of town.
A man who had been working in
harvest for Mr.. Kicker south of

accidentally shot himself. The whole
charge entered his knee and tore it so
badly that amputation was necessary,
and just before the surgeon finished
the operation. the wounded man died
from loss of blood.
If one will but stand along the
right OF way during the harvest season
and note the number of men who
take their life in their hands, by rid
ing the rods and trucks in order to
save few cents Car fare, be can't
help but wonder that more are not
killed. One evening this week we
counted no less than eight who got
out of town in this manner.
A bunch of Indians who were
driving through the country got some

who took on too freely got his war

CONDUCTORS REVENGE.
venience. for Passenger with
SO Bill

Saint you got anything small
err" demanded the conductor, as
he hung onto the car with his toes,
and scowled at the bill. He spoke
through a mouthful of transfer
slips, relates the Dallas News.
Smallest Eve got" said the
passenger, lying cheerfully.
''Don't you give me all nickels."
The conductor sided along the
footboard with speed, and with
the motion of crab. and sat upon
the back rail of the car. He had
stuffed the bill in his pocket. The
passenger looked over his shoulder
suspiciously. After a few blocks
he began to get uneasy, and three
blocks farther On he also sided
along the footboard.
"Where's my changer" he de-
manded. The conductor eyed him
coldly.
"What changer" he made an
swer.
"Why, I gave you a $40 bill
away back there" said the passen-
ger, vaguely, "and l want my
change. | get off at the next cor
ner." Here the conductor saw
woman trying to stop the car by
pulling on the cash register cord,
and hurriedly stopped the car.
He walked along to assist her,
while the man who owned the $40
bill loped along behind him, say
ing things.
"What was that about a $40
BILL" inquired the conductor,
after the car had been started.
The man hoped up and down in
a frenzy.
"Here, you," he shouted, "I'm
past my corner now. Gimme my
change, or that bill. / want to
get off" The car whizzed past the
next corner.
Gimme my bill and stop the
car" holed the passenger. The
conductor took a roll of bills from
his pocket, looked it over calmly,
and then took a handful of small
bills out of his breec.1es
pocket and carefully and pains
takingly counted out 1896, which
the passenger grabbed and leaped
from the car.

HOW KING READS PAPER.
Edward of England Always Makes
It a Point Never to Miss Any
thing of Importance.

King Edward always tries to
make certain of never missing see
ing anything in the papers which
he thinks he ought to see, either
about himself or about any of the
numerous objects and movements
in which he is interested, such as
different charities, the visits to
him of his foreign friends, and SO
forth, says the New York Herald.
Since it would be difficult for
either him or his secretaries to
make sufficiently close examina-
ton of the whole of all the papers
every day to insure this being
done with any degree of thor
oughness, his majesty many years
ago resorted to press cutting agen-
cies for assistance. He sub
scribes to two of them, and they
send him in the usual way each
day every line of printed matter
that has appeared in any paper
concerning him, each paragraph
or article being pasted upon sep
arate sheet of paper, with the
name of the journal from which it
was taken and the date of publica-
ton.
All these cuttings are glanced
through by his secretaries, the less
important weeded out, and those
which it is considered his majesty
ought to see are duly shown to
him. The king keeps many large
cutting albums and whenever he
desires to preserve any of these
extracts orders are given for them
to be pasted up in one of them.
In this way it is practically GER
tain that everything that is writ
ten and printed about the king
duly finds its way to one of the
royal palaces, and there has been
on at least one occasion an in
stance of the king very effectively
expressing his opinion concerning
one item. His majesty does not
in the least mind the personal
paragraphs that are printed about
his doings, habits and so forth,
realizing that the public curiosity
i'll regard to these matters is great
and that it has some claim to be
satisfied; but it is an instance of
his keen scrutiny of the papers
that on one occasion two or three
years ago, when paragraph was
going the round of the daily pa
Pers which he did not consider to
be in the best of taste, he forth
with caused request to be sent
round to the offices that in future
they would refrain from the pub
