were drawn into further conversation,
according to the girls story.
The stranger after talking to the
girl for some time asked her to take
a street car ride with him. To this
she consented and after riding around

with him at the city park. This she
at first refused to do, but later con.

Opportunity for Young Men.

The demands in all parts of this
country and in several foreign coun-
ties, for well-trained men of our race
in the direction of scientific and
practical agriculture are 50 great
that this institution is willing to
offer exceptional advantages to young
men who wish TO come here and
take either regular or postgraduate
course in agriculture. We cannot
begin to supply the demands that
come to us for trained men in the
direction of agriculture. The posi-
tions for which these trained men
are wanted are those in almost
every case which pay high salaries.
We wish to get hold of men who
have received as far as possible,
good education before coming here,
and are ready to enter on tho
rough course in agriculture Per-
sons, however, can pursue the literary
studies at Tuskegee, while taking
the course in agriculture. For futher

Hallihan stated that he was preparing to get started on the construction of the rail road from Tomasachic to San Pedro Springs on the lands of the Sierra Aadre Land and Lumber Co. in two weeks time. The length of this read will be about 52 kilometers-
 On Thursday Coy. Greet stated that he had ben. notified by Col Greene that he was getting ready to con- mence the actual construction of this road. The Governor was greatly pleased with this progressive step which means the first on an extensive scale to develop the great timber re- sources of Chihuahua.
 This means that before the year is out a half million feet of lumber will be coming in from the Sierra Madre Land 6 Lumber Co. to Teniosaohic over the Chihuahua & Pacific through Chihuahua, thence to Fl Paso and to Cananea, Sonora. This is the mean ing of the actual fact that the Greene Consolidated Copper Co, controlled by Col. Greene, and worth at least y2s,- GOO. GOO gold in the open market, con trols 51 per cent. of the stock of the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber Co As Col.

RICH ORE STRIKE
 CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT
HUNDREDS OF FORTUNE HUNT FRS RUSHING TO PHILLIPS
 BURG, MONTANA.

Phillipsburg Mont, Mar I4.-A re currence of the old-time mining ex
 citement has resulted from a recent
 rich strike of ore on the Bennett
 ranch, six miles north of Phillipsburg
 Hundreds of fortune seekers have gone to the vicinity and claims have
 been taken up in stretch of country extending from Marshall creek to Com bination. A tent city has sprung up in the neignborhood, and prospectors are at work chipping off the outcrop- ping quartz and sinking shafts
 wherever there is indications, there being plenty of rich float, and 1t is expected that many promising lodes will soon be uncovered.
 The strike that was responsible for this ourburst of gold-mining fever was made in an old abandoned claim near the foot of hill directly across the narrow valley from the Six Mile house.
 More than fifteen years ago the ground was taken up by Sam Spence and Ed Smith, who bored several holes and found some good ore. The men, however, became discouraged at the slowness of results and Smith traded his interest in the claim for $50 worth of lumber. Finally the claim was abandoned and for ten years has been open ti relocation.
 A few weeks ago Win and Ephraim Bennett and Gus Irish began digging around the old prospect and broke off some rock from the hanging wall and sent it to the assayer. The return showed the ore to run S567 gold, sS7 silver and a small percentage of cop per to the ton. The three immedi- ately located the old claim and three more adjacent to it, making a group of four
 The hanging wall is as perfect as ever shown in any mine, and the ore vein is from eighteen inches to two feet in thickness. Work has been started on a tunnel near Flint creek. l which will strike the vein at a dis | tance of fifty feet, and if the ore shows | the same richness there the mine will | be of great value. Several mining ex- perts have viewed the prospect, and l on their report the three men who | rediscovered it have been offered a 1 large sum for a share in it.
