Survey Corps at BcevilIe.

Beeville, Tex, April Con
siderable speculation has been
aroused here over the mysterious
movements of a surveying corps
which came in OH a night train
few evenings ago, took measure
ment Of the Gulf, West Texas &
Pacific depot grounds and switches
and departed early next morning.
Some are inclined to believe that
the management has assurances of
the safety of the merger bill now
before the Governor for his sigma
ture, and that a rush for the Rio
Grande will be made as soon as it
becomes a law. What gives weight
TO this surmise is the fact that
agents of both the Polk railway
project and the Garlic Springs &
Nueces Valley road are now in
Live Oak county earnestly solicit
ing the interest of the people there
in those enterprises

his clients were sure that they would win

they knew that II their cases were not
fair II would be useless to consult him.
A lawyer who studied in MIR. Lincoln's
Office tells story illustrative OF his love
OF justice. After listening one day for
some time to a clients statement OF his
case. Lincoln. who had been staring at
the ceiling. suddenly swung around in
his chair and said:
We'll. you have pretty good case in
technical law, but pretty bad one in
equity and justice. You'll have to get
some other fellow TO win this case for
you. | couldn't do 1t. All the time,
while talking to that jury, Id be think

At the time no trace could be found of the watch of engineer Copeland, but recently it was learned that Mexican had picked it up and refused to give 1t up to the owner. Wednesday evening two Mexicans and-ohe woman were ar rested on . charge of larceny of the watch and search was made of their effects as they were boarding the train for Ell Paso. In the trunk of the woman the watch was found, but she dis claimed all knowledge of its being there and was discharged. The finder admitted the possession of the watch and upon hearing ofthe case was sentenced to six months'in the county jail.

Attorney General E. s. Clark was in Kingman few hours Wed nesday eve ming. He believes the action of the territorial board to be just and equit able. Of course it is we'll known that ths territorial board is trying to get at the big copper companies and they ad' init that the tax may work an injustice on the small mine owner this year, but in the long run the assessment will not be felt. There is no question that the big copper com panies should be taxed on their holdings, but we think the method employed by the territory is not the proper one, and that the legis. lature will have to pass law that will provide method to tax all property at it's commercial value.

Members of the government geolog ical survey have been in Butte for the purpose ofinvestiga,ing the zinc pos sibilities of the district and to make a statistical report to the government as to the zinc ore output. The opinion is expressed that an exclusive zinc plant in Butte may not pay. Mini"g men have long held that Butte zinc ores cannot be handled profitably for the zinc alone, but if a method for saving and separating all the minerals asso ciated with the zinc could be found such a plant would pay we'll. The work SO far accom plished by the Mon tana Zinc company along that line has been quite satisfactory. It has demon strated that it can cave not only the zinc, gold, silver and lead, but also the copper. In many respects Wallapai and Maynard mining districts of this county are identical with Butte, in having the mixed ores of gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc. No effort has ever been made to save the zinc valnes, although in some ores they represented fully thirty per cent of the metallic content. Even where concentration was resorted to the zinc was run off in the tails. In all the lead -besring veins of the county goud values are found, , which, if ssved, would add largely to to output of the districts. A plant that can handle these ores would be of un. told value to the county.
