WREST FORTUNE FROM
CIFIC SANDS.
Black Sand* From the Pacific Yield
Rich Returns in Magnetic Iron—
The Butte Coalition Production
Falls Off—About Arizona.
James D. Parkyn of Chicago, who
is at the head of the company now
operating the great Motzorongo plan-
tation in the state of Vera Cruz, and
has brought several parties of inves-
tors to Mlexico, is authority for the
statement that there .exists, available
for extraction, valuable beds of rich
black sands on the Pacific coast of
Mexico, capable of producing fortunes
to the company which would take up
the work aud which could be utilized
in such quantities as to become a fac-
tor in the steel industry in Mexico.
The work of taking these rich
black sands from the Pacific coast
of age, 53,370 were engaged in some
kind of gainful occupation, 16,174 of
whom were in agriculture and 16,011
in manufacturing of all kinds, big and
little, factory and home Industries.
The land area of Arizona is 112,920
square miles, being 460 square miles
larger than New Mexico and 1,630
square miles larger than the states of
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut and
Delaware- combined, and 2,180 square
miles larger than the state of Nevada.
It is divided into thirteen large coun-
ties and one Indian reservation.—
Yuma Sentinel.
The current month's output of the
Butte Coalition company will be re-
duced by reason of the closing down
of the Mtnnio Healy shaft for repairs.
This shaft was taken out of commis-
sion about September 1, and will prob-
ably not be operated again for an-
other month.
Very favorable underground devel-
opments have been made of late In
various parts of the property, espe-
cially at. the Corra mine, where on the
1,COO-foot level a twenty-foot vein was
encountered, ten feet of which runs

are rich in useful minerals and that
good steel can be made from this
sand. This has called forth the ef-
forts of the placer machinery manu-
for working the sands. In sonv: of
the tests of sea sands by electrical
process 644 pounds of magnetic iron
ore have been found to the ton. Gold,
platinum, and a number of other min-
erals were found. According to one
report not enough of any one material
ft is found in a ton of the sand to make
■f working it profitable, but the total
§ profit of all the different minerals
proves that mining the black sand
I will pay. The sands contain consider-
.£ able platinum worth $21 an ounce and
'$ some tantalum, which is exceedingly
| scarce. Dr. Day believes tjjat within
H ten years it will be used for filaments
« for electric light, it being probable
f that. 3,000 filaments could be made
I from one pound of tantalum, and
H they would give twice the light with
J half the power now used.
H Dr. Parkyn states that the northern
|f Pacific coast is rich in these sands
I and that they will become a factor in
1 the building' of the new San Fran-
'S cisco. Concentration, it Is claimed,
I will produce a high grade of magnetic
I iron ore, but the price of fuel must
1 be reckoned with, and that the steel
I made from the ore is of a good qual-
1 ity.
1 Charles D. Walcott, director of the
§ United States geological surrey, es-
timates that within two years from
$2,000,600 to $5,000,000 will be added
by these sands to the output of the
placer gold mines of the West in ad-
dition to an adequate supply of plati-
num and the allied metals osmium
and iridium.
THOMAS ACQUITTED.
Negro Charged With Rape Goes

The jury in the case of George W.
Thomas, who was being iried for com-
mitting a criminal assault on his
wife's sister, yesterday returned a
verdict of not. guilty.
At the last term of the district court
Thomas was tried, but the jury failed
to agree.
The case attracted much attention
among the colored people, as both the
defendant and the prosecuting wit-

B»»Ir Day* of the Soeicerfesta la
This Coontry.
In the early days of saengerfests In
this country they were held annually.
The tbdrd saengerfest wns held in New
York in 1852, and many Newark Ger-
mans attended. Below are given ex-
tracts from the Newark Daily Adver-
tiser, printed at the time:
June 10. 1S32. —The German glee
clubs of New York will celebrate the
third anuual festival in New York
tliis year on the 19th to 22d of June.
The New York Journal of Commerce
states that the glee clulw from abroad
will be received by the New York
clubs and honored with a torchlight
procession. The principal Qcrforinnuco
will take place at the Academy of
Music, Fourteenth street, when tho
choruses will he suug by over 1,200
male voices, accompanied by an or-
chestra of 100 pieces. On the 22d will
be hold a picnic on the Bloomlngdsle
road, opposite Striker's bay.
June 22.—Third musical Jubilee of
German Ungers, Saturday to Tuesday,
10th to 22(1. The execution of the
“Magic Flute" overture by 1.200 voices
was very uncommon and surprising by
the New York dubs aud was received
with great applause. The EIntrachts
of Newark sang "Walllstscber Scbif-

But the most marked performance was
Martin Luther's "Kin Feste Burg 1st

really Is—hour grand, solemn and sub-
lime such a hymn is when performed
by a large orchestra and hundreds of

THE SERPENT’S VENOM.
Mohammedan Io-gritd of the Origin
of the Tobacco Plant.
The prophet was taking a stroll la
tho country when lie saw a serpent,
stiff with cold, lying on tho ground.
Ho compassionately took It up and
warmed it in his bosom. When tha
serpent bad recovered it suid:
“Divine prophet, listen. I am now
going to bite thee.”
'Why, pray?” Inquired Mohammed.
•Because thy race persecutes min*
and tries to stamp It out.”
‘But does not tby race, too, make
perpetual war a gainst mine?” was the
prophet's rejoinder. 'TJow canst thou,
besides, be so ungrateful and so soon
forget that I saved thy life?"
‘There Is no such thing as gratitude
upon tills earth.” replied the serpent,
“and if 1 were now to spare thee
either thou or another of thy race
would kill me. By Allah, I shall bite
thee."
“If thou hast sworn by Allah, I will
not cause tlioe to break thy vow," said
tlie prophet, bolding Ills hand to the
serpent's mouth. The serpent lilt him,
but he sucked tha wound with his lips
and spat the venom on tho ground.
And on that very spot there sprang
up a plant which combines within it-
self the venom of the serpent and the
compassion of the prophet. Men call
this plant by the name of tobacco.—

For this reason the president boards
the horses which he rides and drives
at a private stable.
The president has heen trying to

A tablet "in commemoration of the

stated that only twice will tho ex-
cursion be on he Southern Pacific
tracks while visiting the towns

goes to Globe over the Gila Valley,
Globe & Northern, which Is a suhsl-
dary Southern Pacific line, and the
other time will be when the train
leaves the Southwestern tracks at
Naco to go to Cananea In Sonora.
Arrangements are now on foot to
take Concha's band on the excursion.
The price of this hand will he sub-
mitted to the directors at their meet-

it will he decided whether this or

The difficulty in making tho trip
in a special train as has confronted
the committee arranging for this ex-
cursion Is the fact that none of the
roads will allow their coaches to
leave their rails. This is the policy
of all roads, and thus when the spe-
cial train would leave the tracks of
tho Southwestern a new baggage
