J. H. MONTGOMERY. secreta,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-03-22

Brownsville for the cotton planter in
the days of the civil war. The river
at that time was crowded with boats
ready and willing to slip out with cot.
ton for Europe, and it was the cap
tain of one of these boats who appre-
ciated the wonderful possibilities of
the country and lost no time in buy.
ing all the land which his means
would allow. His name was Henry
King and his widow now owns the
famous King ranch which contains
nearly 100000 acres, on which Craze
from $4,000 to 10000 fine cattle. 1t
is claimed that this is the largest
ranch under one ownership in the
world and certainly Mrs. King has abb
solute control of more territory than
many a prince of Prussia. The home
ranch, known as the Santa Gertrudis,
is nearly 100 miles north of Browns
vile, and so miles from the gulf, but
it is said that Mrs. King can go from
the home ranch to her residence at
Corpus Christi without leaving her
land and it is fact that the line Of
railroad extends through her property
for 80 miles.
For many years the water supply
was the problem of this country and
many of the cattlemen were upon the
point of deserving it, but few years
ago artesian wells brought'forth album
dainty and now it is realized that the
country is place for man more than
cattle.
AS an evidence of the royal way in
which things are done in this old yet
new country, Mrs. King has cut out a
strip of her property of $4,000 acres
for those who wish to test agricul-
tural possibilities of this country.
Many things in and about Browns
vile are different from other sections
and perhaps one of the most unusual
features is that the country slopes up
to the Rio Grande river. For this
reason if water in any quantity is
poured over the banks of the river,
it will flow for many miles inland,
propelled by no other force than gray
ity.
Taking advantage of this condition,
a pumping plant is being erected on
the river and canal and laterais are
being dug for total distance of near
ly 200 miles, extending inland from
so to 40 miles, which are expected to
irrigate more than 100000 acres of
rich land.
The trend of commerce is causing
Brownsville to awaken, but it will be
many years before it divests itself Of
the robe of romance which it has
worn SO long.

THIS FOX A REAL MOUSER.
Found Weaklng, He Is Raised by a
Sympathetic Family.

The following account of the effects
of environment comes from a land
owner in Silesia, and should prove in
teresting to all lovers of the animal
world
One of the keepers came on litter
of young foxes, each about the size Of
a half-grown cat There were IL Of
them, and ten were quickly disposed of
in the neighhorhood. The eleventh,
however, was delicate. He seemed to
have had a blow across the loins in
babyhood and was but a sickly little
fellow. His condition awakened SYM
pathy in the household and he was
taken in and nursed and petted into
robust health.
But care and gentle treatment are
now showing their effect not only on
young reynard's physique, but on his
general behavior and the view he
takea of things. Before all others he
loves his kind master and mistress.
Next to them he esteems the house
dog. In fact, should pack" now
come across his way foxy would prob
ably show delight and an inclination
to take each on for a game. Brushed
and combed, it is his pride to show
himself in the drawing room when re-
qusted or to accompany his dear lady
on her walk.
A few weeks ago he was missed,
and it was found that he had gone to
pay his devoirs alone at house where
he had been petted, getting no farther,
however, than the front door, where
he stood approximately scratching.
Nor is it all take" on his part and no
return. He has become very expert
mouser. By day, however, he loves
best to recline before the kitchen fire
