MAN COMPLETED.
Expert** Deport for New York.
Professors Smith, Cushman ami
Richmond, the experts who have been
engaged for the past three weeks in the
examination of the Chainman mine, de
parted early on Tuesday morning by
private conveyance for Eureka, whence
they will proceed directly to Elmira.
N. Y., to make their report to the cap* i
italists who hold an option on the prop- j
erty. No mine was ever subjected to a
more thorough test than has been con- 1
ducted by these gentlemen. Every foot j
of ground in the ledge, so far us ex
posed, was sampled and hundreds of
assays were made. The N KWS man
interviewed Prof. Smith before his de
parture and while he would not antici
pate his report, he gave us every reas
on to assume that it will bo highly fav
orable to the mine.
Wo understand that owing to unfore
seen circumstances it has been impossi
ble to close the deal quite as promptly
as anticipated and that, an extension of
the option to October 1st has been
granted by the owners of the property,
in the meantime Mr. 1.. F. Shepherd,
who will act. as Superintendent for the
new company if they buy the mine, re
mains here with his son and will be
joined in a few days by .Nil’s. Shepherd.

A FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.
TIiouhiiiuIh of Lives Lost on the
Const of Texas.
Houston, Texas, Sept. 10—A scene
of desolation, not only at Galveston,
but at many inland points in Texas, is
the condition presented to-day as a re
sult of Saturday's storm. Estimates of
the number of dead are placed between
1,500 and 2,000. The streets of Galves
ton are mostly under water, wires are
in a hopeless tangle and dead bodies are
thickly strewn among floating debris.
No complete list of dead is obtainable
until the water recedes. The cotton
and rice crop throughout the district
devastated by the storm is badly dam
aged in many places and in others total
ly destroyed.
DALLAS,Sept. 10. —Houston A Texas
Central railroad officials at noon re
ceived bulletins from their general of
licus in Houston that the loss of life will
reach 5,000 in Galvestion. The Mis

Galveston Jand along the coast tele
graped at noon that the loss of life will
not be less thanfa.OOO and may reach
10,000.
Two mass-meetings were held here
to-day and many thousands of dollars
! were subscribed for the relief of the
| Texas Gulf coast storm sufferers, i iai I -
t road and rotten men estimate the loss
| of all kinds of property, including the
I cotton crop, at from fifteen to twonty
million dollars.
From Virginia Point, north and soutli
along the bay front, at such places as
Texas City, Dickinson, Hitchcock, Sea
brook, Alvin and a dozen small inter- j
mediate points, the number of deuil
bodies gathered up by rescue trains
and sailing craft was more than TOO at
noon to-day. This is only a small part
of the country devastated and it is
feared that the death list from the
storm will ultimately show not less than
5.000 victims. Hundreds of bodies have
Iwen swept out to sea and never will be
aceountcdgfnr.
