The City of Eagle Pass.
It is now the City of Eagle
Pass, with a Mayor and city gov-
erment. Mr. F. V. Blesse qua-
lified as mayor this week, and
Mr. R. F. Vaughan qualified as
one of the commissioners. Mr. T.
G. George who was elected a
commissioner, declines to qualify,
the anti-pass 1 a w making it
impossible for him to do so and
hold his present position with the
Southern Pacific railroad.
Mr. S. P. Simpson was appoint-
ed to the position and will qual-
ify. The first meeting of the
City Dada will be held on next
Tuesday morning at 10:00 o clock.
Mayor Blesse is inclined to go
very slow with the new adminis-
tration and no radical acts will
be made. It will be the policy
of the city administration to
make sure of their ground, and
work for the general good of the
community. A secretary will
probably be appointed at the
meeting Tuesday.

Two Coal Washing Plants to be
Installed.—State Inspector
Finds all Satisfactory.
The Eagle Pass coal fields give
promise of taking their right
place among the large industries
of west Texas, though they have
been occupying no mean position
in the industrial world. At an
early date four mines will be in
operation.
The Olmos Coal Company have
closed a deal for the erection at
the Olmos mine and at the Lamar
mine, large coal washers, and
coal crushing plants. The beni-
ficent effect washing has on coal
has been fully explained in pre-
vious issues of this paper, suffice
it to say that it makes it much
more marketable, frees it from
all dirt and refuse matter and
increases its heating units.
For some time past the Lamar
mine has not been in operation,
the pump being kept going and
water kept out of it, being all
that was done there, the company
confining its active operation to
the Olmos mine. They contem-
plate operating the Lamar mine
at an early date—just as soon as
the washers are put in at both
plants.
At the International Coal mines
everything is progressing nicely
under the new management. Mr.
Harriman, the new mine fore-
man, knows how to get coal out

have been getting out coal to al-
most the capacity of the mine,
being somewhat short on miners.
They have been steadily improv-
ing their second mine, just across
the railroad track from the old
mine, and they too, will soon be-
gin getting coal out in large
quantities from this mine. Thus
four mines will be in active op-
eration at an early date.
The State Mine Inspector wras
here this week, and carefully
examined all of the mines. The
State law is now very strict in
regard to sufficient ventillation
and safeguards for miners being
provided, and beyond a few
minor details which will be im-
mediately complied with, the
State Mine Inspector found the
four Eagle Pass coal mines in
excellent condition, and the main
provisions of the law complied
With.
Mr. G. Jaggi Came to Eagle
Pass 40 Years Ago.—Dies of
Ptomaine Poisoning.
Mr. Godfried Jaggi, aged 67
years, died at his residence in
Eagle Pass, on Wednesday, Jan-
uary 12, 1910, at 3:10 p. m., after
an illness of ten days. The
prime cause of his death was
ptomaine poisoning caused from
eating canned oysters.
Mr. Jaggi was well known and
loved by the people of this bor-
der. He was a good citizen and
a good man. Generous to a
fault, the frequent calls for
charity always met with a cheer-
ful response. The Mexican citi-
zenship loved him and his many
kindnesses to those in need will
long be cherished among the
most sacred memories of those
he befriended.
Mr. Jaggi came to Eagle Pass in
1871. For a while he was in the
army as saddler—that being his
trade. Later he opened a sad-
dlery store in Eagle Pass, and
gradually branched out into other
lines of business, gaining for
himself a competence and help-
ing others as he went along.
He was of a cheerful disposition,
and possessed a fine sense of
humor. He delighted every one
with his humorous reminiscences
of early days in San Antonio and
early life on this border. He
saw more of the cheerful side of
life and thus got more out of it
than most people.
He was recognized among the
old stand-byes of the town, and

his ward. He could have held
other political positions, but pre-
ferred private life. In recent
years he had retired from active
business and spent much of his
time visiting his children and
seeing some of the world.
His death is a distinct loss to
the community, and is deeply
regretted by all. He was laid to
rest in the Catjbolic cemetery,
beside his beloved wife. Three
children survive him : Mr. Fred
