BIGGEST FARM IN THE WORLD
Don Luis TerrazaS'S Eight
Million Acres Present an
Agricultural SuperlatiVe.

10 moment of vinous enthusiasm
Daniel Webster nut his hand IN his
pocket, asked how much the national
debt was, and offered to pay it him
self. A Mexican farmer, Don. Luis
TeIrazas, a great friend of President
Diaz, once offered to assume the Mex
lean national oebt; and it wouldn t
have kept him awake nignts if his
offer had been accepted. Don Luis
has what you might call a tidy little
farm at Chihuahua; about eight mil
lion acres Takes the Mexican Central
trains more than half day to Gloss it.
Whew Don Luis is thought to own
more than q million cattle, but a
bagatelle of hundred thousand OF so
more or less never bothers him. His
stable consists of some 100, 900 horses /;
his sheep fold of 700, 600 sheep. From
200, 900 to 300 900 calves are branded
with MS brand every spring. More
than thousand cowboys and so on
keep his cattle on thousand hills.
BY the way, his farm includes few
mountains, for diversiication. At his
slaughter and packing houses near
Chihuhua City $50, 900 cattle. as many
sheep, and hogs innumerable are
killed; and away they go in his
own refrigerator Gals. Some 40, 900
persons dwell on his estate and are
ruled by this Arabian Nights farmer

dollar castle and is a swell and nabob

today ways and means for carrying

GOLD OUTPUT OF ALASKA.

The gold mines on the American
side of the line in the far Northwest
are this year, for the first time, pro-
ducing much larger quantities of the
precious metal than are being found
in British territory. The yield for
1905 at Nome and in the surrounding
district is estimated by experts at ap.
proximately 5000 0OO and the
Tanana Valley has cleaned up 81 000,-
600. Last year the total gold pFoduc-
tion for all Alaska was So. $50, QUO, or
nearly 81 900 OOO less than this year s
clean up at Nome alone, where the
principal increase took place during
the last summel. 1t is safe to assume
that the entire Alaskan gold output
will not be far short of $50, OO0. ono. On
the other hand the KlondIke output
for 1904, which was $1O, 829, 900, will
not be much exceeded by its total for
