and great attention has been given to

BLASTING OUT THE BAR.
Aa Easy Proposition, Fays Superin
tendent Arnold
Superintendent Arnold of tbe dyna
miters went over to Corpus Chnsti
Tuesday night to ascertain whether he
could obtain enough oyster shells at
the packing houses to make a jetty
foundation. He says oyster shells, wben
laid on a submersed bar. rapidly till
with sand and become a rigid mats,
maKicg tne moat satisfactory Kind ol a
foundation.
Mr. Arnold stys tbat in all bis long
experience with haibors be has never
seen any harbor proposition approach
ing that ft Aransas Pss for simplicity
and absolute certainty of tbe most sa-
tibfactory results for an expenditure in-
igniBcant in comparison with what
would be required to open any other
tiaroor entrance. He would prefer tbst
the newspapers would not say much
bout bis work until be has time to car
ry a line oi oiatting across the bar.
Dynamite, be says, is peculisr in its
peration. hitch discharge tears a bole
iu the bar, but tbe kose sand soon
wishes back into tbe bole, filling it up.
ibkt is tbe case in the early stages of
te work, but when the blasting is car
ried across tbe bar, then tbe line of
loosened 6and will be rapidly carried out
into tbe gulf, tbe deepening obanoel
will concentrate the current, and tbe
soouring will proceed in earnest. Mr.
Arnold says if tbe peeple will only rest
easy, and say little, next spring they csn
invite tbeir friends down to see what
tbey bave, and it will be worth seeing.
Parties who came over from tbe works
Monday evening say that on ths line of
tbe old government jetty, to which the
blasting is coonced, the depth is now
ver fifteen feet, tbe old jetty having
en pulverized and washed into the
Gulf. Chief Engineer Jenkins reports
the depth on tbe inside of tbe bar in
creased by tbe two feet, and tbe pilots
give satisfactory accounts of tbe increas-
ng depth all aoioss tbe bar. However,
t is not to be expected tbst a uniform
ccrtase of depth can be reported until
be blasting has been carried along the
line of tbe channel.
Here in Aransas Pa6S it anneared that
larger charges were beicsr used last
Monday. Tbey caused a very percepti
ble jar of the ground at tbis point, over
x miles from tbe bsr. Citizens who
kept watch could see the columns of
water thrown up Bt tbe Pass, and timed
tbe sound as taking about 30 seconds to
reach them, tbe jar of tbe earth coming
at the same time. Tbe detonations were
otrung as to rattle tbe windows.
Tbe work of constructing a south
jetty cf 6and bsgs is progessing tepidly.
beven thousand sacks were delivered st
arpon for that work last Saturday.
President T. H. Franklin of tbe Harbor
Company, and Mrs. Franklio, came
own from San Anton.o last Fridsy,
nd on Saturday visited tbe eoene of
perations with Vice-President O. U.
awyer end Secretary T. B. Wheeler.
They watchtd tbe blasting operations
with deep interest and were highly
pleased with what tbey learned of the
progees of tbe work and conditions in
general. Tbey found tbat the speed of
the ebb currents, formerly two miles an
hour, has increased twenty five percent,
which is amply sufficient to carry off all
tbe sand aa it loosened up on tbe bsr.
Mr. and Mrs. Frsnklin remsinsd at the
Hoyt over Sunday, and returned to Sao
Antonio Monday.
Tbe 2500 pounds of dyamite received

A Checker Champion-
The North American Checker Board
is publishing the pictures sud hiograpb
ies of tbe leading checker players of the
United S ates, i be November number
has for its frontispiece an excellent por
trait of Brewster Cmeroo, Jr.. who is
rapidly acquiring fume as checker play
er. That he corned naturally by bis
ability to 6olve difficult problems vill be
evident to tbe people of Texas who are
fully cognizant of tbe indefatigable spirit
and tremt-ndous energy poeeeaoed by bis
reepected father, Brevtbler Cameron, Sr.
In its sketch of young Mr. Cameron Tbe
Checker B-jard says:
Tbe picture we bund you tbis month.
although taen a eur or eo au is atill
a ?ood likecees of Brewster Cameron.
. jr. Mr. Common was born at St. Liouii,
I Mo , on the 9ih of April, 1877. IJe was
very young wben bis parents roovod to
Washington, D. C. where his father
Hon. Brewster Cameron, was $enerl
agent of tbe Ddpartment of J uelic-, un
der Gen. Brewster, during President
Arthur's administariion.
"In October, 1884, the fdimly went to
Arizona, where Mr. Cameron, Sr., was
largely interested in cattle, lands and
mines. That Verritoiy was young
Brewster's home for tbe next twelve
years, the last two of which were spent
attending University of Arizona at 1 uc
sou. Subsequently be complted his
studies with a course at tbe lLoa Ange
lea' Busisnees College, bnd it was while
atteoc ing the latter tcbool that he be
came deeply interested :n checkers.
"After tumbling into the "gooee walk
and a few other elementary traps, his
tutor, 8. F. Hopewell, induced bim to
study 'book." A copy of ".Leii's Guide
was procured, snd ever since its receipt
Brewster baa been a checker ectbsiast.
-'Returning to Arizona in September,
1894, Mr. Cameron quickly vanquished
all the leading checker players in iis
section. Continuing to meet end defeat
at! tbe devotees of tbe game, be was
soon reoogaized by tbem as the cham
pion of tbe Territory. Being quite a
young player, and having already enter
ed into an sctive bueiness life, tbe few
hours tbst Mr. Cameron is enabled to
speed at checkers are devoted almrst
entirely to a 6tudy of bis books, though
he baa found time to contribute some
interesting games and problems to tbe
Derrv News, end also ibis magazine.
"He ia tbe possessor of a good general
checker library, to which be is constant
ly adding tbe latest and bf at woiks -n
tbesiense. Mr. Cameron has recently
entered into the employ of tbe Mexicar
branch of tbe American Surety Com
pany in tbe City of Mexico, where he
will undoubtedly meet for the first time,
professional players, and while it would
be rach to predict another Arizona cam
patgn, yet we feel justified from his fine
record in anticipating his epeedy elva
tion to tbe front rack, if not the first
place." San Antonio Express.
The Parent of Imomnia.
Tbe parent of insomnia of wakeful

Mr. Pritcbard Morgan. M. P, bas left
London for China, via the United
States, accompanied by a numuerof
mining f-xperls. He was the discoverer
of the gold mines in North Wales, and
from the fact that he was in oh ee touch
with Li Uurg Chang during the letter's
visit to England, it is thought tbat Mr.
Pritcbsrd's mission to China is to pros
pect for gold.
Tbe price paid by Mr. Louis Nicolai
of Portland, Oregon, for tbe Horrible
aod Mexican mines in Burners Bay,
Alaska, was $90,(00. Tbe ledges are
exposed by croppiegs fo-1,800 feet, and
the values range from $8 to $63 p-r ton.
Tbe ore is free milling and Mr. Nicolai
ia now having a twenty-stamp mill
framed on tbe Sound, which will be

Henry J. Dvie, wbo has spent ten
years on tbe Yukon river, was a recent
arrival at Juneau, Alaska. Uncrossed
tbe Chilcoot pass in 1886 and has re
mained continuously on tbe Yukon
since. He reports tbat about 1,200 per
sons will witter at Circle City, and he
fears tbat the supply of bacon will fall

seversl losalities of wolframite, tbe

as tungstate of iron. It tbere occurs as
sociated with gold in quartz veins whicb

gold with tungsten is unusual. Tbe
only other instance known to me in tbe

where, some years ago I found and re
ported the presence of a vein of tung

with a gold bearing quartz vein. The

All the officers elected sre, of course.
well known to our citizens, and tbe vote
cast is a demonstration of tbe fact tbat
tbeir residence among us has gained for
tbem a flattering conbdence.
Henry Buebman, as mayor, for tbe
pa6t two years bas made a record which
waa certainly acceptable to tbe people,
for they have entrusted bim again with
the burdeteof tbe office.
Royal A. Johnson will carry into tbe
office of cjuncilmanat-Iarge, a fund cf
experience and an interest in te city's
affaire, which will make bim a first-class
officer.
Tbe efficiency of Cbas. T. Connell, in
tbe administration of the affairs of the

cessor. He bas made a good officer and
will do so again.
Frank S. Treat received tbe heaviest
majority on tbe tickst, and will'm&ke an
HStf eeor in wbm every one will have
perfect confidence.
1 be treasurer's office will be filled by
a very worthy and exemplary young
man, Harry Dracbmsn, whose qualifica

stndnrd.
Under tbe efficient management of G.
W. Oakes, tbe city will have an active
and wide-awake pclice fo'ce which will
guarantee the fullest observance of the

ed Gust. A. Hoff for tbat office.
George Puecb, with a majority of

A Michigan Man Offers to Send

Claims to he a Bemafactor ts T7aVsn-

There is always more or lessBuspicion
attached to anything that is offered free)
but sometimes a man so overflows with
generosity that be cannot rest until hia
discovery is known to tbe world, in
order that bis fellow men msy profit by
what he has discovered. It is upon this
principle that a resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich., desires to send free to mankind
a prescription which will cure them of
any form of nervous debility; relieve
them of all the doubt and uncertainty
whicb sucb men sre peculiarly liable to

and vigor. As it costs nothing to try
the experiment it would seem tbat any
man, Buffering with tbe nervous trouble1
that nsuelly attack men who never stop
ped to realize what might be tbe final
reeult. ought to be deeply interested ia
a remedy whioh will reatore them to
health, strength and vigor, without
which they continue to live an existence
of untold misery. As tbe remedy in
question was the result of many yean
reaearch as to what combination wbould
be peculiarly effective in restoring to
men the strength tbey need, it would
seem tbat all men Buffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re
quest to H. C. Olds, Box 1782, Kalama

Utah's Odd Minerals.
The mountains and valleys of Utah
are perfect magazines of odd minerals,
some found only sparingly in other
places, while a great many kinds are
plentiful there that are found in no
other locality on the globe. Ten
tite," a soft, resinous substance found
in quantities in the Bear River
mountains, was unknown to the min
eralogist prior to 1890, and is even now
wholly unknown in other quarters of
the earth. Experts who have given it
thorough test3 are of the opinion that
it will finally become amber of the
finest quality. 'Ozokerite," a species
of natural mineral wax, a rarity else
where, is found in large quantities in
this locality of queer mineral sub
stances. It is an acid and water
proof, and makes the finest insulating'
material known. "Gilsonite, another
variety of mineral wax, contains eighty
per cent, of carbon or asphalt in its
pure form. The Utah vein is almost
