BLACK WOLF!
Or Jilack Leprosy, is a disease which Is con*
Fidcred incnraMe, but it has yielded to the
curative properties of Swift's SrKCinc—now
known all over the world as S. S. S. Mrs, Bai-
ley, of Wofct Soinerville, Mass., near Boston,
was attacked several years ago wit a this
hideous black eruption and was treated by the
befct medical talent, who could only say that
the disease was a species of
LEPROSY
and ecnM'Quently incurable. It is impossible
to describe her sufferings. Her body from the
crown of her head to the soles of her feet was
a mats of decay, masses of flesh rotting off
and leaving great cavities. Her fingers fester-
ed and tlm e or lour nails droppe .l off at one
time. Ber limbs contracted by the fearful
ulceration, and for several years she did not
leave her l ed. Her weight was reduced from
325 to CO lbs. Perhaps some faint ilea of her
condition i an be gleaned from the fact that
1 hic e pound-of Cosmoline or ointment ware
used per ueek in dressing her sores. Finally
the plij sicians acknowledged their defeat by
this lilack Wolf, and commended the sufferer
to her all wi;-e Creator.
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of
the use of fswisT's Specific (S. S. S ) prevailed
011 lier to try it ay a last resort. She began its

Austin, Tex,, January 27.—Mr. Clark, a
gentlemrm well kaown iu mining circles,
v.as interviewed to-day by a News reporter
on the raining laws, viz,:
" Are there not many rich minerals to be
found in Texas, and, if so, why are they not
sought alter as such minerals are iu Colo-
rado and otlier States and Territoriest"
Mr. 0.—Yes, there are many ores, which,
in rcy opinion, can be found in paying
quantities in this State. Coal of several
varieties, copper of exceptionally high
grade—some of it rich in silver—iron, sil-
ver and several other ores are known to ex-
ist in the northern and western counties.
But notwithstanding this fact no capitalist
will risk his means in devel°PinS amine, or
prospector waste his time endeavoring to
discover one under the present mining law
of this State, which really amounts to an
inhibition.
Turning to the acts oj the Eighteenth
legislature, he opened at page 100 and read:
An act to provide for Ihe disposition of
the minerals in the public school, univer-
sity, asylum and public lands of the state
of Texts. , , ,
Seel ion 1. Be it enacted by the legislature
of the state of Texas, that all minerals in
the public school, university, asylum uad
public lands of the state of Texas be and
the same are reserved from the operation
of the laws for the sate of such laads, and
shall be used and disposed of for the bene-
fit of the respective funds for winch said
lands are now set apart as hereinafter pre-
scribed.
Mr. C.—That section is very absurd for
the simple reason that it reserves all min-
erals from the operation of the laws for
the sale of the lands named. Mineral em-
braces everything inanimate, as earth, clay
and stone; our atmosphere and all gases
occurring in nature. Ice, for instance, is
as properly a rock as limestone. Water is
also a mineral, has its temperature of fu-
sion and melts just as other minerals do.
I can, therefore, hardly understand how
land could be sold at all if all minerals
were reserved, l'erhaps the lawmaker
said more than he meant. But read on:
Section 2. The state land board shall have
the control and management of the dispo
sition and use of said minerals, and shall
provide such rules and regulations therefor
as to them may seem best within the pro-
visions af this act.
Mr. C.—That section is obscure. I con-
fess that X have not been able to get at its
true meaning. I can not understand how
the land board could control the use of
minerals, even if it succeeded in managing
their disposition. Would not the board be
compelled to follow the minerals from the
mines to the manufactories in order to con-
trol their use? It seems so to me; but read
the next:
Section 8. When a prospector or miner
shall discover upon any or said lands any
mine of coal, iron, tin, copper, lead, silver
or gold, he shall immediately stake the
same in its apparent extent not to exceed
in size 300 feet one way by 1500 feet the
ether way, tho corners to be marked by
distinct stone landmarks, and shall within
forty days thereafter file a description of
said mine, the county in which it
is situated, the number of survey,
the company or individuall to whom
the same was issued, and such other de-
scription as is practicable in the clerk's
office of the county where the land lies, or
if an unorganized county, then in the coun-
ty to which the same is attached for sur-
veying purposes, which description shall
be verified by an affidavit of the fact that
he is the discoverer of said mine, and that
lie intends to fully prospect the same and
comply with tho law pertaining to the same
in good faith, and shall be registered in the
record of deeds. He shall then have the
privilege of selling the rights he may have
acquired in said mine—provided that he or
his assigns shall, within ninety days after
the filing of such description, have said
mine surveyed, and shall file a copy of
c-aid survey, together with specimens o£
the oie taken therefrom, with the state
land board at Austin.
Mr. C—The chief objection to that section
is that it does not prescribe any means of
taking up a mining claim of other ores
than those named. If nickel or any other
ore not mentioned in this section was dis-
covered it could not be taken up under this
law. Another 'objection is that the claim
allowed is too .narrow. The length is
right; but the width should be COO feet, as
it is under the United States mining law,"
I nov< read:
Section 4. After the filing of such survey
and specimens, the discoverer or his as-
signs shall work said mine for his own
benefit and for tho benefit of the fund to
which said mine bolongs, said fund to re-
ceive 6 per centum , of the gross receipts
fsom said mine to be paid and received in
such manner and under such regulations
as the land board may prescribe
by general rules applying alike to all such
cases: provided that mines shall be worked
subject to such rules and regulations as the
land board may prescribe, and which may
be from time to time changed, and they
may by regulation prescribe such condi-
tions of forfeiture of the rights hereby con-
ferred as they may think proper, and on
their violation declare such forfeiture;
provided further, that any one taking up a
mining claim of the dimensions herein
provided for shall do at least $209 worth of
work per annum on the same, and furnish
annual proof of the same to the land board.
Any one failing to comply with this provi-
sion shall forfeit his interest, and it
shall be subject to entry by any other per-
son, and it shall require no judicial for-
feiture.
Mr. C.—This tax upon gross receipts is
exorbitant. I do not believe that any min-
ing company would undertake to pay it.
Then, mark you, this extortion is not to be
received under any fixed rule of law, but
" is to be received in such manner and un-
der such regulations as the land board may
prescribe," etc. Again, working a mine
" subject to such rules and regulations as
the land board may prescribe, and which
may be from time to time changed," would
be too hazardous an undertaking. It would
be difficult, in my opinion, to find even a
wildcat mining company reckless enough
to operate a mine under such conditions.
The rules and regulations of law for the
working of mines should be fixed and
certain, and under no circumstances
left to the caprice of any set of
men|to change from time to time. The for-
feiture clause, leaving it to the board to
prescribe such conditions as they may think
proper, is very objectionable. This clause
puts the miner so completely at the mercy
of the board that he could not lie down at
night with a certainty that he would not
find himself a beggar in the morning.
"You may be sure," continued Mr. C.,
"that there will be no mining inTexasuntil
this law is repealed. Mining is a risky
business; one may expend tens of thous-
ands without ever taking out a dollar. In
that line we always hear of the successes,but
seldom or never of failures. To encourage
mining, the law should be not only fixed,
but liberal. I think that the present law
should be repealed, and the ruining law of
the United States adopted in its stead."
The next in order is:
HectionS. The filing and registration of
the description hereinbefore provided to
be filed with the county clerk shall be con-
structive notice of claim. But all persons
who have heretofore discovered and worked
mines on said lines, shall have a prior
right for ninety days after the passage of
this act in which to comply with this law
as discoverer.
Section G. This being a matter of great
general interest and importance, and there
oeing no law regulating the same, an im-
perative public necessity and emergency
t-xitt forits immediate passage; therefore,
it is enacted that the constitutional rulo be
suspended, and that this act take effect
from and after its passage.
Approved April 14, 1883.
Takes effect after passage.
Mr. C.—lean find no objection to that
section nor to the one following it. lu my
opinion, continued Mr. C, there should be a
mining board as well as a land board in
this State. Tho time has come. Such au
institution would be of incalculable value.
If ft mining board can not be created, then
a state geologist should be appointed, and
he should be allowed a liberal appropria-
tion in order to enable him to do what i3
necessary to*be done in his department.
MIL&M COUNTY.
Hew Prohibition Was Carried on-Ili9 Farmers
Alliance.
To The News.
Kockdalb, Tex., January ."1.—Thinking it
possibly a matter of interest to other sec-
tions which may not as yet have passed
through similar experiences, I desire to
call attention to a few observations made
while this (Milam) county was undergoing
one year's experience of prohibition, and
also the workings thus far of the Farmers
alliance movement. One year ago last Sep-
tember or October the edict of prohibition
was passed in this county, after a bitter
contest, by a majority of less than 100 votes.
This town cast a large majority vote
ageinst prohibition, which was barely over-
come by the rest of the county. It is true
that the srIo of liquors never stopped
during tho year, either in this
place or Cameron (the county site),
but without entering into either
the merits or demerits of the principle of
prohibition, it is a fact worthy of note and
universally conceded that had not the law
been repealed when it was (December last)
matters would have gone very hard with
many who had violated it. From this I con-
clude that whatever the sentiment for or.
against prohibition may be, in law-abiding,
intelligent communities the law must event-
ually prevail if iu existence. How much
drinking the enforcement of the law would
in reality prevent, with the importation of
liquor left free to nil, is quite another ques-
tion, and the constitutional rights of the
citizen foreign to my purpose. Indict-
ments may be quashed and juries
may acquit for a time, but a sense
that such is the law, voted by the
people, to find in accordance with which
judge and jurors are sworn, will inevitably
overcome sentiment at last. Some of us
did not believe that prohibition would pro-
hibit; but finding that it was getting in
shape to do so, we rose in our might and
downed the law by 500 majority;. Think of
the converts in twelve months time. In the
history of this little city, comprehending an
existence of some thirteen years, probably
nothing has ever ar isen which has awakened
so keen an interest as the organization of
the Farmers alliance. In the shadowy past
(last year, etc.) we were wont to deal with
the farmer in his individual capacity, and
as we judgedhim.so we treated him. This was
according him a like treatment to that which
we had received abroad. But a far less in-
telligent and reading people than our
farmers could not have watched the work-
ings of railroad pools, Knghts of Labor,
bankers associations,state board fire under-
wiiters, joint stock cattle companies and
ether evidences of the tendencies of tho
times, without considering what was to be-
come of them, and so they have organised.
No human agency had reason or right to
complain of this prerogative, nor was any
effort made to throw an obstacle in its path
in so far as the intention to beuefit and
elevate the farmer was concerned. By his
numerical power ho already possessed om-
nipotence politically, and ably and honestly
represented us in the legislature every term.
In order that the farmers might obtaiu
gocds much cheaper than under the old
system, they delegated power to a trade
committee to close a contract for them
with one responsible firm dealing in gen-
eral merchandise, at a fixed rate of profit
which, considering the volume of business,
was fair and liberal enough to induce one
of our strongest and most reliable firms to
accept. With few exceptions tiie members
of the alliance bound themselves to trade
with that one house, paying cash for four
months, and afterward on the credit sys-
tem, suitable guarantees to be given by the
farmers. The four months cash season has
successfully passed, and we are just about
entering upon the second act. The alliance,
if kept steadfastly to its original purpose,
has a noble and praiseworthy mission to
perform, but from present indications,
until cotton comes again, its pathway will
be ingged. The alliance house, working
on a narrow profit, may refuse to credit
alliance members who either cau not, or
will not furnish satisfactory guarantees of
payment of their debts in the fall, and
otlier merchants will naturally be slow to
extend credit to men who spend their cash
else where. Just how this difficulty will bo
bridged remain?) to bo seen, but be it kuowu
that tho alliance claims that it will be
bridged. The movement has had the effect
of causing the farmers to more nearly
close their accounts with the merchants
this season than ever before, and most of
the latter are in consequence in easier
circumstances tha'li they might otherwise
have been. _ l.

Burnet,- Tex., January 30, 1887.—Tho
weather continues dry and dusty, which
has a tendency to render the tillers of the
soil and stockmen despondent. O wing to
the protracted drouth of months' duration
the wheat that was sown last fall is dead
beyond resurrection. Many of the farmers
will plant largely of jute the coming sea-
son, regarding it the surest and most pro-
fitable crop that can be raised in this sec-
tion of country. With an ordinary sea-
son ^25 per acre can be realized from its
growth.
Your correspondent was shown on yes-
terday a beautiful specimen of gold-bear-
ing quartz, which has the appearance of
being rich in the precious metal; in fact,
the golden particles can be distinctly seen
with the naked eye. Robert Johnson had a
piece of the ore analyzed which panned
out a beautiful nugget of gold. He had it
manipulated-into a watch-chain, which he
proudly exhibits to the many callers at his
office to see the pretty little gem. The
lead from which the ore was taken is
fifteen miles distant from the city, and is
eaid to be a large and well-defined lead of
pure gold and silver quartz. The ore as-
sayed underwent a thorough test by au ex-
perienced chemist of this place, who pro-
nounces it to be good in every particular.
Specimens of the rock are on exhibition
here which experts are invited to test.
Miss Mabel Pankey, one of Burnet'.s most
beautiful and charming young ladies, re-
turned home yesterday after an.absence of
twelve month attendance at the female in-
stitute at Lampasas. She graduated with
the highest of honors, and returned to illu-
mine the social circle, being the recoguized
leader of society here.
A gentleman who arrived here from Ma-
son to-day informed your correspondent
that beef cattle had an upward tendency,
and that several buyers were in the county
desirous of purchasing fat cows and stears.
He predicts a cattle boom in the spring,
and says that stock of all kinds are in fine
condition, and stockmen happy.

Advantages Offered by Eaglo Lake Over Other
Points Relative to the Proposed Line o!
Eailway from Hallettsville to Wailis.
To The News.
Eagle Lake, Tox., January 28, 1887.—
Having observed in your issue of the 27th
ultimo a report of a conversation had with
ope of the Columbus delegation appointed
to confer with tie Snn Antonio and Aransas
l'ass ltailroad company, relative to the pro-
posed line of said railroad from Halletts-
ville to Wallis, in the interest of the people
of this section I take this occasion to cjr-
rect some of the representations made by
said delegate, and to say that we differ very
materially in our opinions as to the ro-
tpective merits of tiie two projected Hues,
one via Columbus, tho other by way of this
point.
We are well aware that a line passing
through this point would run through a
considerable tract of prairie country now
devoted principally to stock-raising, but
the most of it is of a character equal to the
best farming lands in the State, and only
needs the stimulus of a railroad to develop
it into as good an agricultural district as
can be found anywhere, as has been fully
demonstrated by many here, who are now
cultivating land of the same quality. Oa
an air line from Hallettsville to Wallis a
railroad would strike the Colorado river
where the banks are higher and the channel
narrower than for miles above or below.
One mile above there is the finest of rock,
and of such abundance that a good sized
town could be built of it, requiring but lit-
tle labor to get it out, as it is almost all on
the surface. Below the crossing on said
river and on its west side the country for
miles is dotted with farms, including a
Bohemian settlement some twelve miles be-
low, constantly increasing in number. The
produce ot all this section would naturally
find its way to market in this route, it not
being likely that it would be carried to Co-
lumbus (the present market) twelve miles
further.
Much of the trade at this point, the center
of as rich and productive agricultural sec-
tion as there is in the State, would find its
way to market via this route, and from here
to 'Wallis, across the fertile valley of the
Ran Bernard, the whole country along the
line cf the road would teem with German
and Bohemian farms.
Taking all this into consideration, and
the fact that an air line to Wallis, passing
through this point, would be some twolve
or fifteen miles shatter than one via Colum-
bus, and the fact, as every one knows, that
west of Columbus the country is broken and
hilly, and much of it barren, and on the
cast pretty much of the same character,
after getting through a river bottom often
affected by overflow, it seems very plain
that it would be ot vastly greater interest
to said company to run their line through
this point than to defiect it for a distance of
twelve or fifteen miles, at an additional
cost of from $ 10,000 to $15,030 par mile,
through a f ection of country that offers no
superior advantages. Eagle Lake.
