ent sas the Greeuvilla Herald oter the
discoveiy of a nth vein of toal and a strata
of excellent brick clay within four miles of
Emory and thirt of Greenville Ihe
existence of coal in tha vicinity has been
known for some time but not until re
cently was its quantii and quality made
manifest Tho top strata i3 similar to that
taken fiom tne Alba mines but in the mid
dle and bottom stratas it is found bright
and hard and not so much inclined to slack
Exports pronounce it tho best quality of
coal ever mined in Texas Under
the last strata of cool has been discovered a
vein of excellent buck clay twelve feet
through Experiments have been made
with this clay and it has proved lo be a
complete success The bricks burn smooth
and almost as hard as fiut
Semi Weekly Times No ono with aiy
degieaof accuracy can give anything like
near a correct estimate of the amount of
iron ore and coal in Anderson county It is
of course the fashion to speak of it as in
exhaustiole etc Ihat great deposits aro
upon tho surface of the earth there is no
doubt w hato ver In the very streets of
Palestine iron ore that would be weighed
in the old country Ilka gold is used to fill
up the ram washed gullies In tho brick
used for building flmt and iron is abundant
Iron oro indications aio everywhere ob
servable Mr Ezell an old resident of
Nechesville informs us that ha has used
the Lest of iron manufactured from oro
found near the surface in that section and
from what wo hava seen those ores have
an easily visible descent downwards and
m no sense of the word beds or veins but
general deposits of from twelve to twenty
eight inches thick blanket deposits of rich
metallic iron
Col R E Cook of Talladega county Ala
who is a dealer in iron lands said in the
last Llano Gazette You have somo very
fine varieties of granite and marble and
mora of it than any country I know of
Some of tho iron oro I saw I am satisfied
will run 70 per cent of iron Why I saw iron
enough in one place to supply tho world
with iron for all time to coma Yon hae

concerning the gold regions of Greer
county Your correspondent has been
waiting until something definite was de

for one to risk a small fortune on ha3 been
developed However many experienced
minera havo visited the find and pronounce
tho lead good and every indication points
to tho opening of a very rich gold and silver
mine in Greer county Local geologists
pronounce tha ore rich Many hae laid
claims and a company has been formed at
Vei non and its work has begun A man
w ho has been in many Western Mexican
mines said that theie was an old shaft there
which had been worked probably forty
ears ago which w as rich in sil er That
is being worked on a small scale now The
state geologist has been up there but noth
ing could ba learned from him I do not
think any arrangements are being made
more than to get ore for a test and to form
an estimate about the quantity which can
bj obtained No doubt there is mineral in
pav mg quantities somewhere thero and it
will be found sooner or later

graved Tho government will exert its
utmost endeavor to secure and destroy the

longing to Mr G W Mahoney of Santa Anau Ibis land i3 cat up into tract of lbO
acres or more and will be sold at public auction June 2 und 3 ISHl on tho premises Theothei
tract of 20000 acres is 11 miles from Brownwood adjoining the village of Tiickham
These lands former tonstituted two immense pasture but owing to their fortuity and
adaptability for fanning purposes are no v offered to the farmer for the lirst time
The crops that can be grown on these landsaro numerous as the Liarkcti of 15iowiwood
and Santa Anna will show Cotton and wheat are staple 1 rops and elds prolific j
heat averages from IS to 30 bushels to the aero At Brownwood last season II WO

country but the farmer can chooso from many Tho soil anos from 3 dark sandy 10 a
rich chocolate loam and Is easily cultivated as a plow scours m this soil
Fanners who aie thrifty und Industrious run soon make thesu Luds pat for themselves
as the cost of farming and of liviis is no pre atcr here than clsov lure 1 leso lands are
ready lor the plow thus savins fiom 4 to 5 an acre for cle irinsr and smibbiasr
Timber suUleient for fencinp and fuel such as liveoak postoak peian auu mesquite
