made his escape from the peniten-
tiary farm on Four Mile Creek shortly

tence In less than a month. He was
sent here from FL Paso county and

LOU FRANCK SAYS SONORA is
ALAHD OF GREAT POSSI-
BILITY FOR THE MINER

From Saturdays Daily.
Lou f. Franck. who has been en-
gagged in mining for some time past
in Sonora, Mexico, returned home
yesterday afternoon to look after
some business matters requiring his
attention. Mr.. Franck's property is
located in western Sonora not far
from the Gulf of California, and is
rich in auriferous ores. The country
has been worked in a desultory sort
OF way. according TO Mr.. Franck, by
the Spaniards and Yaqui Indians, for
more than three hundred years. but
its mineral wealth Is only now being
appreciated. Most OF the mining in
that portion OF Mexico was done By
the dry placer process and only the
surface riches were touched Mr..
Franck says he has seen nuggets tax
en- out OF the soil weighing as much
as eleven pounds and worth S2.500
and only recently one was found that
weighed seven and a half pounds AS
a rule these nuggets are ninety-fiye
per cent pure gold and are worth at
the rate of two hundred dollars a

home Mr. Franck found a copper coin
OF unknown nationality and value
many feet down in the placer diggins
which he thinks must have been lost
by some miner hundreds of years
before the Spanish conquest of Mex
leo. He inclines TO the opinion that
IL was OF Yaqui Indian mintage and
that II Is. perhaps. n thousand years
old II will be of interest to know
that the Yaqui Indians possessed a
considerable degree of civilization
long before the coming toMeNico OF
Cortez and his aTmor clad warriors
from Spain. They had a well estab-

PLANS OF C. W.
ROE OF PUEBLO
ARE ADOPTED

The architectural plans of G. w.
Roe, OF Pueblo, for the proposed addi-
ton to the Masonic building at the
southeast corner of Sixth and Main
streets have been adopted and an ad-
vertisement for bids for its construc-
ton will soon be made. The addition
will be forty by forty-four feet on its
ground diminsions and will be two
stories in height. The entire upper
floor will be used for a banquet room
by the Masonic bodies. making it one
of the most spacious in the city. When
the improvements in contemplation
are carried out the Masons will have
a lodge room forty by ffty-two feet
in size and banquet hall almost as
large.
The entire lower portion OF the
building will be occupied by Frey &
Collins, which will give them $500
square feet Of space on the main floor
and 1000 square feet of sales and
storage space in the basement The
addition will necessitate a re-arrange-
ment of the lower part of the struct-
ure. the completion OF which will give
Messrs- Frey & Collins one OF the
largest, as well as one of the most at
tractive. business rooms in the city.
1t is hoped 20 award the contract for
the work in the course of the next ten
days or two weeks as il is desired TO
have the plans carried into execution
as soon as possible The cost of the
undertaking will. probably. be repre-
sented by FIVE figures.

Whereas, we, the voters of San

man who has the interest of the
masses at heart to represent us in

tionS H.,
Il, Resolved, That we recognize in
Pat HarrisOn,' sterling qualities.
which fit him pre-eminently for the
duties of representative of the peo-
pie and we believe him to be 1npur-
chasable and incapable of betraying "a
trust.

the tactics of ce' sIn candidate.
who is trying to prejudice the people
against the legal profession as law
makers. His insincerity is apparent,
as he poses as farmer and he has

LEWIS AND THEFARM MATTER.

Far be II. from the purpose OF. This
PAPER to detract' from the laurels
Mr. Frank Lewis has won ut the
State Fair and otherwise with his
ADMINISTRATIVE Farming. On the
contrary we desire to:.tadd to the
mead of his fame in that line For
several wears we have attributed to
nim the honor due for the service
he is doing his county and the state
in that respect. At this time, when
the people especially of Southeastern
Mississippi are turning to agricul-
tural pursuits account of the eXhaus
ton of the timber, we need mcu who
nave the pluck, the means, aud tue
skill TO establish experimental farms
III Advance OF what the state aud fed
eral goverpment does, to demon
strate the possibilities and respon-
siveness of our soil The products
which 90 out from such IL farm are
extreme cases Of ntG.nt cultINated
plants, and are uoclu' aud profitable
mainly for exhibits. Now Mr. Lewis
is in theireaI estate business and
and its no secret That the money
and efforts he eXpends Oh his farm,
flow back in prizes at fans aud real
estate profits. thus he is reward
ed directly, as the industrial agent
of railroad comnany is indirectly
for getting up such specimens Of
intensified farming. It's not ueces-
sary. to send him Ia Congress to
keep him from missing Lne reward
which is his due The hpnors and
profits which he nov enjoys are
perhaps quite sufficient

Is A REAL SELF MADE MAN.

Bassfeld News, jeff Davis County.
We wish to call the attention of
our readers to the candidacy of Hon.
B. z. Harrison, of 6 ulfport for Con-
gress and commend him to our
friends as a worthy and competent
young man.
He is a self made man in the true
sense of the word and that he is
worthy of the honor is true
He has held the office of District
Attorney of the Second Circuit Court
District; holding first an un-expired
term, then be was elected to the reg
ular term by the voice of his constiLu
ents and during this service in offic
has always done his duty creditaolv
and cOnscien tiously.
He now comes before the voters
with a record that entities him 10 the
respect of all men and asks the sup
port in his candidacy for the high
and important office OF Congressman
from this district promising to do
his duty if elected and bringing with
him the strong recommendation of y
past duty well performed.
We think too little ere we vote to
place man in a position like this
one and often we place in this impor-
tant position man affiliated with
interests that make him an impossi
BILE servant to us.
Harrison is affiliated with no larg,.
industries and is backed by no cor
porations and stands before the vot-
ers only as Pat" Harrison, honest
and interrupted, young and energetic
ability equal, if not SURPRISING, the
opponents confronting him and still
with his reputation and position to
make.
A majority of men in Congress if
like him, representing the people and
moi the interests, would in time re-
lieve the situation of graft and cor
ruption.
We have so few members of Con-
gress that are in line with the inter-
ests of the masses that we are prac-
tically without represen tation inso
far as protection from the wishes of
capital is concerned.
The great majority of our repre-
sen tation today are SO tied to one in
terest or another that make it i'm
possible for them to legiolate to the
good Of the country over that OF the
corporations.
