BIGGEST RANCH IN WORLD.
Contains 15,OOO,OOO Acres and Sup
 ports 2,OOO,OOO Head of Stock.

 | ports %,OOO,OOO Head of Stock. The state of Chihuahua, Mexico, con. tains the largest farm in the world. It's greatest length is POO miles and width 150 miles, containing 150,0C0,00O acres of land. It supports 1,00O,000 cattle. 750,O0O sheep and 100000 horses. It's owner is Don Luis Ferrazas, the rich. est man in Mexico.
 The residence of the owner cost S2,. | 100000 Mexican money, $SS6,300 Unit. ed States coin, and is one of the finest | finished and furnished mansions in the republic. The marble quarries of Italy furnished large quantities of the finish. , , ing material. and hundred of the most skilled artisans of Europe labored to. produce the most artistic effects.
 To operate this vast estate over 1000 men are needed; gardeners, farmers, COW punchers, horse wranglcrs, sheep | hcrders, etc.
 A packing plant which uses 10000 cattle and 50,000 sheep yearly is part of the equipment of this ranch, and is the only packing house in Mexico. It | handles uothing but stock grown on the ranch, and is modelled after the big packing houses of the United States. The grade of stock kept on this ranch is not that ordinarily found in Mexico. Over 2,O00 pure bred beef bulls have been imported from England and the United States. The quality of Horses and sheep has been improved also, m. til the best stock in Mexico is now found on the Terragas ranch. Nearly $SO0000 have been expended in reservoirs, wells and pumping appa- ratus for furnishing water for the vast herds and fiocks of the estate; for months of extreme drouth frequently come in that country and all living streams are dried up on the plains. Water is pumped by steam. oil and wind engines.
 The experimental work of the Unit ed States is watched closely and the crops found suited to dry conditions are grown on the Terragas ranch, with the idea of providing food enough to- carry the stock through periods of ex. treme drought.
 Prairie fires are one of the great. est hindrances to successful ranching in Mexico. During the dry season mil lions of acres of grass are burned up, depriving the herds of their food and cremating thousands of animals. On this ranch fire stations have been es. tabished at various parts of the range and watchmen are on the lookout for fires at all times.
 The principal methods of fighting these fires is by dragging heavy log chains through the blaze, and by plow- ing furrows parallel to and in front of the fires It sometimes requires sev- eral days to subdue q prairie fire, and often hundreds of thousands of acres are burned over and much stock lost.

Chinese Gin Signs.--An unusual sight
was witnessed on Commercial street
in this city on Sunday morning last
when two Chinks wheeled out Of China
town onto the principle thoroughfare
"drunk as lords" on, presumably
Chinese gin. They were just as silly
as any white men ever get to be, and
the rarity of the sight attracted uni
yersal attention. They hugged and kiss
ed, and slobbered and hollered and
stumbled around with all the abandon
and uproar usually INDUCED in by the
Caucasian, and finally disappeared in
the swinging doors of a waterfront sa'
loon, where they are supposed to have
taken on the final and subduing pota
tions with which all such orgies are
wound out.

.TheStage

The splendid production of the
sensational melOdrama, THE
COnvict's Daughter, which is
the attraction at the Jefferson
Monday, January %, is sure to
make very favorable impress
sion at this theatre. The plot
is a strong one, is well told i,
cleverly constructed and is re-
plete with exciting situations.
Rarely have more realistic stage
pictures been presented than
are shown in this play. The
story is written around Incidents
that might occur in everyday
life, and a delightful vein of
comedy runs through the entire
play, which relieves the tension
caused by the many thrilling
scenes and situations. The
scene of the story is carried
from Kentucky to New York,
and then closes in the Southern
country. The change of scene
permits of the introduction of
a clever bit of stage mechanism
in the fourth act, when train of
cars rushes aross the stage and
the daring and sensational leap
for freedom, by convict, occurs
