THE MOTOR CAR IN BRYAN.
Biz Crowd Had the Pleasure Of Seeing
and Examining II yester-
day Morning.

The new motor car, designed fol
trial service between Houston and
Galveston, reached Bryan shortly
after s o'clock yesterday morning
with the officials Of the II. & 7. G.
heretofore mentioned on board, all
having spent the night in Hearne.
A number were waiting at the II.
& 7. G. passenger depot when the
car arrived, and a large crowd
soon gathered and were allowed
plenty Of time TO go through and
examine TO their entire satisfac-
ton. The officials and those in
charge Of the car were very cour-
teous about answering all inquir-
les. The description published in
the Eagle yesterday morning COW
cred the car very well, except some
interesting details. Everything is
"ship shape" about it, so much so
that it has been aptly compared
to an armored cruiser minus the
bristling guns.
The 100-horse power gasoline
engine Is in the "bow," q baggage
room a little forward Of "amid-
ships" and seats for the passengers
occupy the remainder Of the space,
which is considerably more than
half. The car is an all steel struc-
ture, we'll ventilated and beauti.
fully lighted with acetylene gas in
twenty-five opalescent panel lights.
The water used to-cool the engine
circulates through many coils Of
pipe and serves to heat the car
comfortably. The coach weighs
SO 900 pounds and cost Sl2,0OO.00.
1t is handsomely and serviceably
finished in the interior, and with
two people to each seat will carry
forty.six passengers. Three peo.
pie could very well occupy each
seat and leav@standing room for
additional number.
The machinisi in charge Of the
engine informed the Eagle reporter
that the car can make 60 miles per
hour, and that fifty miles is not
unusual where the cars are in regu.
lar use. About 80 miles an hour
was the schedule for the trip over
the Central from Denison to Hous-
ton.
In speaking of the easy riding
qualities of the car Col. NJ. L.
Robbins, general passenger and
ticket agent Of the II. & 7. c.,
said it reminded him Of a sleigh,
here bel ng no sideways vibration
md very little up and down mo-
ion. Col. Robbins said the car
would carry its own load and pull
wo trailers with a seating capac-
ty Of fifty people each.
Contrary to the expectation Of
hose familiar with other gasoline
Engines, the car is operated with
title noise and all the fumes Of the
gasoline are carried off through ex-
lausts beneath the rear end and do

The car looks to be entirely hobo

We may be pardoned for reproduc-
ing from "Proft and Loss. : one of the
best guides for investors published, the
following paragraphs which tell in a
nutshell why the Wellington Associa-
ton inspires such general confidence,
and at the same time is achieving such
remarkable success:
"The first company to qualify for

motion and safety for promoters
Gin this statement is contained in
formation as to the personality hat

1t does not take the reader of this
statement long to guess that whoever
is at the head of this corporation is a
man of force; that he has the courage
of his convictions and is not slow to
take action when once his mind is made
up. Opportunities are constantly aris-
ing for money making and the man
who possesses the quick mind and the
farseeing Judgment is the man who
benefits thereby. Some men nave to
drop everything to think over even
a little matter while other men are
constantly bordering upon both big
and little subjects and their minds are
constantly alert for opportunities. The
broad man is he who can take in sur
rounding circumstances at a glance,
size up the situation and before the
ordinary man has had time to start
his thinking apparatus, the forceful
man has started his campaign
Dividends and a satisfied clientele
are the two essential factors in the
success of any proposition foated by
public subscription. While the one Is,
of course, consequent to the other, 1T
is, however, possible to AVE pleased
clients without an enterprise having
reached the dividend period. Fortu-
nate indeed is the management which,
has a satisfied clientele, made so
through the payment of liberal dfvi-
dends.
This company paid % per cent divi-
dends in 1904, and judging from the.
present outlook dividend disburse-
ments are going to be maintained dur
ing the present year.
The credit for the upbuildfng of
this large and very profitable enter

Boulder, Colorado, an indefatigable
worker, and a man of ~tireless energy.
Mr.. Degge is the president of the As

belief that a mine of great value will
be made. Not at any point along this
great mineralized ZONE of the Nevada

more favorable signs of a big producer
being found.
As the railroad will reach Goldfeld
about September 18th, and three mills
and reduction works have just started
with several others in the course of
construction, these facilities will great
ly reduce the cost of mining and treat
ing all the ores of this vast district.
1t may not be amiss to mention in
this report that considerable excite
ment prevails today at this place over
the discovery of a big find in the
Kawich Range. The ore assays from
thirty dollars to $500 per ton and was
uncovered at a depth of 100 feet. |
consider this of great Importance to
the Wellington Goldfeld property and
to the district generally, as this point
and the Gold Crater camp are among
your nearest neighbors. No better evil

can be given than the rich strikes that
have been made in the adjacent camps,
and toe much stress cannot be placed
upon these facts. Respectfully sub

No stronger point can be advanced

1t is a pleasure for mfe to be able
to say that / found them infinitely bet
ter than / had expected to find them.
The Wellington Goldfeld group will, in
my opinion, "beeome among the rich

In company with Mr.. Samuel G.
Knott, a mining man of great expert
ence, who has made a study of the
conditions in Goldfeld, we explored
this group from end line to end line,
taking samples of quartz from the
veins covering its entire area, and had
assays run from % samples taken from
the entire surface by ourselves. Every
one of these samples made a showing
in gold, running from $3.50 to $55.94
a ton. A selected sample running
$1358.14.
Now a single assay, no matter how
rich, does not prove a mine, but when
for your own information you take
% samples from various parts of a
group of claims, and every sample
shows good values in gold, then you
are at least justified in believing that
YOU have the making of a mine, and
a big one at that.
Our judgment was strongly backed
up by our intelligent prospectors. These
Llen had been in southern Nevada for
two years hunting for the prospects
that could be found. They had studied
this great mineral belt CAREFULLY and
long; had located claims in every ia
vorable section, and after working
long and patiently to prove up the
best, they knew that this group had
given them the best evidences of con-
tanning rich mineral, and they had set
their camp mere and settled down to
hard work to develop the best pros
poets in southern Nevada.
You will bear in mind that this is
not leased. or bonded and leased, but
is the property of the Wellington Gold

paid for in full, no indebtedness of
any kind on it, but decided and record

plished on these veins, several speci-
mems of the bright yellow metal have
been found. This condition is censid-
cred as positive evidence that rich
bodies of ore will be found in the solid
formation and where the ground has
been undisturbed.
That the ore will eventually be-
come of a sulphide character with
depth, which carries extremely rich
sylvanite ore, is a proven fact, as in
the Goldield District reference might
be made to a number of cases, but to
cite one, that of the Florence property
at a depth of about three hundred feet
is producing some of the richest ore
in the form of sylvanite that the camp
has ever been credited with, and unless
the proven theories are decidedly con-
trary to past development this group
of claims will become among the rich

seldom can be found the same condi-

The above telegram came as a pleas
ant surprise to the management. 1t
shows that our superintendent at the
mine has great confidence in the out
come and is backing up his Judgment
with his money. 1t means that all
who wish to secure Wellington Gold
had better start their orders at once.
The matter of advancing the price
to 25c will be quick and sudden.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
Wellington Goldfeld. The boys are
working in very rich ground. Some day
before long they will open up a large
body of ore which we are going after,
then will come a telegram from Gold
field. Erich body of ore just opened
up, stock worth one dollar a share.
Come OUT
When that telegram arrives not an
other share of stock will be sold until
we have settled on it's actual value,
which will probably be anywhere from
soc to $1.00 a share. The prospect
will then be proved and you will have
to pay mine prices instead of prospect
prices. This is where the big money is
made in mining. Buy a low-priced
stock in a good prospect and have it
advance a thousand per cent by de-
velopment with the money which you
put in. / sincerely believe this is
what will happen with Wellington
Goldfeld, and we earnestly urge our
stockholders to take all the Wellington
Goldfeld they can carry at loo a share.
In a few weeks you will surely be
paying zoe or more a share for it.
