"The Mercy of Coming
Events"

We must all wonder, for a
moment now and then, what
strange new "brew" is being
prepared for us by the busy
forces which we name Cir
eumstances."
In the home life the exit Of
a servant; in the store. "some
thing happens" to our best
clerks: In every business ven
tuTe something "upsets" our
favorite plan. If we own prop
erty. our best tenant leaves,
or our neighbor sells his prop
erty at a big proft-while
We "hold on" to ours, not
willingly.
Emerson expressed Il:
"Man imprisoned in mortal
life, lies open to the mercy OF
tomlus tftilta.
And the truth has led us
TO consider ways and means
for taking the sting out of"
these coming events - for
turning them into endurable
burdens. And of these ways
and means which We have
created. the cKiefest is Want
Advertising. A wise use of
this modern convenience. this
instrument OF service, Not
; only makes coming events
merciful-it makes us to con-
template them without trepi-
dalton.

day of July by a duly accredited
agent in which he agreed to give

share No. 29 of the Espiritu Santo
Grant in consideration of the sum
of SIS per acre.
The sum of $4,000 was paid as
earnest money and receipt taken
for that sum. II. Josey claims that

that he has not done so. Since the
time the option was given on the
land the value is said to have adj
vanced from SIS to $50 per acre.
The plaintiff prays that defendant

tract, and in the event of his being
unable TO do so. plaintiff asks that

Preparing for Houston Carnival.

Traffic Manager Doherty has
written a letter to Agent Porter,
asking his opinion of a PROPOSE
ton to run an excursion from
Brownsville to Houston on the 4th
of November, returning on the 9TH,
allowing passengers to arrive in
Houston on the morning of the
5th, the day OF the grand street
pageant, a scene rivalling that at
the New Orleans Mardi Gras, and
staying the following day to the
ball given by King Notice. The
fare will be S.. so for the round trip
from Brownsville. Sleepers will
be provided on the train according
to the letter written by Mr.. Doher-
ty which would indicate that the
train will leave Brownsville on
the evening of the 4th November.
Agent Porter believes such a train
will be well patronized as the
Houston Carnival in becoming a
national attraction.

Episcopal church united two loving

ceremony wedding dinner was served.
Only the relatives and a few intimate

The bride was attended by her

stood by his brother during the cere-

Among the showering Of rice, tin cans,
boots, shoes, congratulations, kisses and
happy tears the loving couple left for a
short honeymoon to the valley. After
their return Mr.. and Mrs. Grey will
make their home on Casey avenue.
Neither OF them need an introduction

Powers Starts New Level.

Frances Murphy left the first Of the
week for the valley with a shipment Of
smelling ore, consisting Of two cars,
which was taken out of the second level
OF the Powers mine. This is OF a very
good grade and promises to run as we'll
il not better, that the former shipments,
which were Of a high grade character.
The mine is little over $50 feet deep
and last week miners were put to work
in the 2S0foot station driving levels.
These will be driven for quite distance
which will give large amount Of terri
tory for stopping ground. The vein
here is very good and from all indica-
tions will produce as good ore as has
been coming from the upper levels Of
the mine. Another good feature that
makes it profitable to work the lower
portion OF the mine is that the water,
which formerly Handicapped the opera
tors considerably, is not as plentiful as
it has been, owing to the drainage OF
same by the Newhouse tunnel. The
water here is gradually going down
which in time to come will make all the
properties in this section dry PROPOSE.

Readu 10 Mine al Eldorado.

The Eldorado, which is situated just
above the depot, is nearly all cleaned
out. The shaft is about $50 feet deep
and they are taking the water and muck
out OF the bottom preparatory to inves-
tigating and making thorough exam
ination of the property. The levels are
also being cl lned out. After the work.
ings are cleared they will begin drifting
in the lower levels and possibly sinking.
Besides cleaning the mine they are
working the first or l0O-foot levels and
some very satisfactory returns are COM
ing from the same. Last month ship
ment OF 100 tons was made from here
that brought little over s21.0O to the
ton. Another shipment was made last
week and it is thought that it will run
as good il not better than the former
shipment This 10O-ton shipment was
the first ore that was sent away since
the mine has been started up the last
time. Before that time it was not
worked for over twenty-five years. E.

Gladstone 10 Start Qp.

Local parties have taken hold Of the
Gladstone property. situated in Lake
and Russell mining districts. At pres
ent they are pumping the water out OF
the same and when this is finished will
prospect little to determine what is
the best course to pursue in the way Of
active mining. 1t will take some time
before all the water is out, but other
work will be commenced within the
next few weeks. The shaft is being re-
timbered where it is found necessary
and the different levels are being cleaned
out, preparatory to drifting and stopping.
The mine is about 200 feet deep and
probably this will be sunk to further
depth. There is a good shaft house and
machinery on the Gladstone, although
the latter has not been used for some
time and consequently is not in very
good shape, but later on larger plant
will be installed to meet the existing
conditions.

Resume Work on The Mascot.

The Boston & Occidental Mining u
Milling company, operating the Mascot
property at American City, started the
machine drills this week, which have
been lying idle for some little time ow-
ing to the scarcity OF coal, but as the
necessary fuel has arrived Superintend-
ent VIM. Woods informs the Observer
that development work will be carried
on on more extensive scale and greater
headway will be made with the use OF
the machines. In the breast Of the
drift at the 110.foo level large and
we'll defined vein was encountered this
week. This is good news to the manage
ment, as the opening up Of this vein was
daily expected. This property has pro-
duced some very rich ore during former
development, running as high as $1,000
to the ton, and it is thought this vein
will prove equally as rich. A pipe line
has been extended down the shaft which
will feed the machines with water and
will enable the miners to carry on their
work and not be interfered with by the
dirt the Little Wonder drills are known
to make, and everything possible is be-
ing done to facilitate mining. This
property is equipped with one OF the
best plants Of machinery in the county,
and under the able and efficient superin-
tendency Of Mr.. Woods, who is prac-
tical and experienced mining man OF
note, the Mascot mine will yet rank
among the best producers.

100 feet deep and is being sunk to fur

is a good streak Of ore in the bottom
which looks first rate. 1t is eight in

although little milling ore is also
found. A whip is being used to hoist
the mineral and only small force OF
men is employed, but the people work
ing the Bosom Plume contemplate put
ting on hosting machinery and carry on
operations in earnest. Thus far the ore
shows excellent values for the distance
they have sunk and the deeper the shaft
is made the better the ore becomes.

near future.
