It Was Enjoyed last Night by Sized Audience. a F nr The sec - nd concert of the Choral Union was given last night in Chooin music hall before a fair sized audience, and with an effect that may well have encouraged the singers to continue their organization and prepare for another public appearance. 1 ne pro gram was "carried out as advertised, except as to Mr. Brown, and thfl hearty reception by the audienca of the per formance indicated that this phase of musical endeavor ought to be made a success in El Paso. Owing to unfortunate financial lim itations, the instrumental accompani ment was necessarily circumscribed, and the orchestra was absent, leaving Professor Pi'zer to make the piano go as far as possible under the circum stances; so the Zimp.i Overture was given alone on the piano. Miss Phelps made additional friends by her solo, "Fleeting Days." She has a sweet lyric toprano voice which with ber charming personal appearance will i al w ays make uer a lavorito in the ll Paso musical circles. The trio by Mrs. Fink, Mrs. Howe and Miss Doane was a beautiful thing. Their voices blended very well, their inton ations and phrasing were good, and the selection choseu suited their voices exactiv. And it may be observed here that the choice of a song to suit the voice is. to use tiie vernacular, no small chore. The I air trio ol singers easily won an eucore, and repeated the selection. The piano duet by Misses Humphries and liitchie was wen piayea ana sn joped. The recitations by little Miss Pearl Penniman were a great card. She nroved herself a consumate little actress. It is not common to see a person of her lender years show such a marked control over themselves, aod so self possessed before an audience. Her work was one of the marked and most interesting features of the even ing. F. W. Brown was to have sung a sofo but he failed to show up, and the number was necessarily omitted. The chorus was very good, albeit they labored under the disadvantage of a number of absentees, and were short on the numoer of contraltos. There was ample evidence of training and frequent practice, and the voices were all wholesome, attractive voices. The maennchor was good, but would have appeared to belter advantage in a less funereal selection. The opening chorus in the opera of Ernani, for instance, or the .Monks' chorus in Tannbauser would have scuuded much better. It is unfortunate that the manage ment is in a financial hole. Toe selection of the night for the first concert was a mistake, mere was ua that same evening, a reception to Bis hop Kendrick at Mr. McCutcbeon's residence, and fully fifty people who would otherwise have been glad to attend the Choral Union concert, felt it their duty to rather stay with then- church associations where the two interests conflicted. The date could just as well as not have been set for t hanksgiving nignt wnen me puouc was only too ready for some diversion or entertainment. Moreover, the con cert was not properly advertised. Three or four brief reading notices for three or four days in the papers are entirely insufficient. The public bill poster,Georee De r ontaine, should nave been hired to paper the town, just like any opera house entertainment,and this with a few display advs in the papers and the setting of the date for I hanks- giving night would have tilled the house full. .However, "it is never too late to mend," and the society, it is hoped, will continue, and by the selection of some night on which the public will not fail to turn out for the next concert, such say, as the night of Washington's birthday: and with public bill board advertising, the society ought to a good deal more than make expenses. Mr. EniPrsou Hurt. George W. Emerson was badly shocked and injured to some extent at 'J.ltO this morning on Mesa avenue. He was coming dowu he avenue just below San Luis street on his wheel with his head bent down, as the handles of his wheel are none too high. A Mexican boy, the servaot of Dr. Justice, was driving the doctor's phaeton on the same side of the street in the opposite direction. Mr. Emerson said he had turned up to the right as he supposed, but had his head down, and was not looking, when bang -and there was a collision. Emerson struck the front wheel of the phaeton, plunged rij;ht over that, struck the tire of the rear wheel with his head, and was immeuia tely run over. The collision frightened the horse which ran away up the ave nue, but was stopped. The injured man was taken to Dr. Justice's ofliee in the Sheldon block where injuries were immediately at tended to. There was a gash on his right temple, his left knee was con siderably hurt, and the man was badly shaken up generally and bruised. Dr. Justice closed the wound in the head, and after Mr. Emerson had rested for a while on the doctor's sofa, was able to go home, lie says he was himself to in fault in not looking ahead when he saw the horse approaching.

It is Predicted that in Five years State will Rival Sonth Africa! Dr. J. R. Magruder, the well known Sonora mining man is at the Pierson from the City of Mexico, en route to his valuable mining properties in the state of Sonora. He is enthusiastic over the prospects for gold mining in the state of Sonora, and declared today that the developments were so rich and so remarkably promising, that in five years the state would rival South Africa in its gold output. The only drawback is the scarcity of water, so that in fact the output espe cially at the Minas Prietas and sur rounding properties is mostly u question of water supply with which to run the mills. To increase the present Supply in that district to any marked extent, it will be necessary to bring it twenty miles from the mountains wnien no aouDt win oe aone ero long It is on account of this scarcity of water ,that the Colorada mine has been allowed to lie idle for two years while the Creston, its neighbor, is being ex tensively and richly worked as enough water is being gotten out of tbe latter mine to run it successfully. There are two thousand men employed on the Minas Prietas properties, and many of these have prospectors out for them locating claims, and doing the neces sary assessment work to maintain the claims. The English syndicate paid on Sep-ten-ber 8th last, one million dollars for a three quarter's interest in the Lob Amarillos and Grand Central mines. and are now ready to pay another million for the remaining quarter. In October last, these Minas Prietas prop erties turned out $360,000 in gold. The two mines are treating 1C0 tons of rich ore daily with a twenty stamp mill in the one, and a ten stamp mill with three 5 ft. Huotingtona in the other. One hundred and twenty tons per day is being amalgamated, and the tail ings are concentrated. At the Creston and Prietas mines there are being worked two mills of forty stamps at the latter and thirty 6 tamps and three Huntingtons at the other mine, with a monthly output of $400,000. Two hun dred tons per day is being treated by the amalgamating and concentrating processes. There is sufficient water gotten out of the Creston mine to run a forty stamp mill. Doctor Magruder predicts that the La Colorada will inside ol ten years oe running one hundred stamps, as ere that time there will be ways found to bring plenty of water into the camp. The Creston mine is sinking its shaft down to a 2ri00 ft level, with triple compartment shaft and double, decked cages. The taxes amount to , per cent gross on the output of mines. There are already a great many Americans in Sonora, and the number is rapidly increasing. In fact the mine owners are almost entirely Americans, as the Mexicans are either laborers or mer chants or raucheros. A few however, are drifting into mining, and one Mexican is drawing a large amount of money from his properties. ine reason why there has been no gold development earlier is that for years only silver was sought for, and the assays made with silver only in view. But now that the gold developments are so wonderfully promising, the state is attracting the attention of the world. American skilled miners are getting live dollars per day in gold, Mexican, good Mexican micers three dollars in gold, and ordinp.ry car workers and laborers $l.o0 also in gold. Fort Bliss Echoes.

The change gives the boys an extra day to themselves. Private Coffman. D company, is in the hospital with a bad sprain in the back as the result of foot ball. There are four of the boys in the guard house. The boys were all smiles yesterday when they saw the notice of no more extra fatigue duty.

A series of meetings to celebrate the first anniversary of salvation army work in Japan have just been brought to a close in Tokio.

One hundred and fifty have definitely iden tified themselves with the army, and many of them take active part in the "war." Japan Weekly Mail.
