Sufficient water to irrigate an area
of about ten acres has been secured
by Josiah Turner at the Galveston
ranch, about twenty-six miles above
Brownsville. by two wells which were
lately completed. These wells are
136 and 116 feet deep respectively
and the water, fine, pure and fresh,
rises within ten feet of the surface

The fact that the road-bed of the
old Brownsville & Gulf track, which
runs through the city on Twelfth
street from the river to the Rio
Grande station, is ballasted with opal
is perhaps not generally known. This
gravel was brought by the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico railroad from
the gravel banks in upper Aidalgo
county, and is composed chiefly OF
opal formation. Little Mexican chill
dren have picked out quite a lot of
small opals from the gravel While
they are of common variety and
have no market value, yer 1t is quite
a distinction to have a railway track
through the town that is graveIed
with opal sand.
~
Another carload of round bale cot
ton was shipped out Of Brownsville
today, making the third car shipped,
so far from here this year by Martin
Besteiro, manager of the Merchants
and Planters Ginning Company. This
makes a total of 500 bales ginned
here to date. Mr.. Besteiro reports a
great deal of cotton coming in, but
lately on account of the break in the
market which brought cotton down
to 9A, the price today, cotton buy
ers are not able to secure very much
ct this price. Most of the farmers are
holding their cotton for higher prices.
There is hope of better market in
a short time.

United States in their care for the unem-
ployed.
