As Port fayed by
Masters of the Camera
Good photography is an art within itself,
and a careful study of good photographs should
give as much pleasure as a similar study of the
product of the painter's brush.
The advance in photography in the past few
years has been phenomenal, and it is with the
purpose of illustrating this in all its phases, and
further instructing the public generally in the
work of the camera, that Mr. Feldman has col
lected this exhibit from among his friends of
the art world.
The characteristics, individualities and ec
centricities are as marked in the work of good
photographers as in that of painters. Mr. Feld
man takes pride in offering El Pasoans this
unusual opportunity to see the work of masters
of the camera shown side by side. Exlribition
hours ten to five daily, March 10th to 25th.
Exhibition Hours, 10 A. M. to 5 P. M. Daily

Edgar Beecher Bronson Has
Killed Game in the Same
Territory Traversed by
Mr. Roosevelt in the Dark
Continent.
Sufficiently timely to be known as
the book of the hour, an El Pasoan
will, on March 26, publish the story of
his experiences in big- game shooting
In the wilds of Africa at a time when
the subject is of vital human interest
because of the experiences of mat hunt
er hero, Theodore Roosevelt.
Instead of the native name, "Bwana
Tumbo," appearing on the title page
of the new wild game book, "In Closed
Territory," a name as well known to El
Paso business men as ihe other hunt
er's is to the world of politics, will or
nament the fly leaf of the volume. It
is Edgar Beecher Bronson. ranchman,
banker, author, who might be called
"Bwana Bronson," after the style of
nomenclature used by the natives of
the closed territory.
Former El Vaso Banker.
The El Pasoan's book will appear
from the press of A. C. McClurg & Co.,
of Chicago, on March 26, and already
he is receiving a number of compli
mentary advance notices from scien
tists and sportsmen In the United
States and England. The author was
formerly president of the EI Paso Na
tibnal bank, and was one of the best
known financiers of the southwest,
while he was engaged in the banking
business in El Paso. He was also a
New Mexico ranchman, having- owned a
large cattle ranch in the Panhandle.
One of his first published books was
"Reminiscences of a Ranchman." He la
now located in Xew York, where he
has been doing extensive literary work
for the magazines and other current
literature.
Preceded Roosevelt Party.
Preceding the Roosevelt hunting par
ty by 10 months, Bronson spent four
months' treking over the same unchart
ed territory as the former president
did on the hunting trip which recently
ended and which attracted worldwide
attention. The ship upon which Mr.
Bronson sailed for New York passed
'"The Admiral." upon which Roosevelt
tfnd his party of faunal naturalists were
being carried to the happy hunting
grounds of south and east Africa
While In east Africa the southwest
ern ranchman and banker was enter
tained at the Juja ranch made famous
as the place where Col. Roosevelt was
a guest on the first leg of his hunting
expedition, and drove the famous white
mules afterwards used by Roosevelt.
He was the guest of William North
rup McMillan, who also acted as host
"to the former strenuous president, and
the new bcok. 4Sln Closed Territory,"
bears on tlis dedication page the fol
lowing significant statement:
"To the stanchest friend and stead
iest shot, "William Xorthrup McMillan,
this book Is affectionately dedicated
by the author."
Beautiful Illustrations.
Following a preface by the author is
an Introduction by TV. T. Hornaday, of
Xew York. The book, which contains
2S4 pages, is profusely illustrated in
sepia half tones made from photo
graphs which the author made while
tramping through the bush of tile Afri
can wilderness. A number of these
illustrations are masterpieces, and the
collection of pelts made in Africa dur
ing the 10 months hunt are artistical
ly arranged in one of the pictures, and
are said to be the finest collection of
wild -same trophies yet exhibited in
this country, and second only to the
remarkable collection prepared by Col.
Roosevelt and his party for the Smith
sonian institute.
Bronson's bag contained all the spe
cies of big game to be found in Africa,
except the bongo, his rhino kill being
one of the record kills of the year; an
elephant wai also slain by the El Paso
an, which was 11 feet four inches In
height and 27 feet eight inches from
the tip of the trunk to the tip of the
tail. The de-tails of these kills are
graphicallv described by the big game
hunter m his book, and at times his
descriptions of the experiences he had

thrilling.
He ves one of the few Americans
who were admitted to the closed terri
tory nefore the coming of Roosevelt,
and his experiences we're those of the
pioner-r in hunting big game. Permis
sion was granted him to hunt In the
British domains of east Africa by .the
B'-Itish protectorate, and to be in the
closed country without a pass is a pen
al offence. However, passes are issued
to Americans upon application, as the
big t;r)re is classed as vermin by the
natives, according to the author's de
scriptions. Stalking Bip: Game.
Stalking big game in the dense for
ests where daylight hardly penetrated
even at noon time, treking across the
plait's, which he says were hotter than
Death valley, setting the scampering
horde of monkeys off Into a chatter
by the breaking of a twig, the
experiences of the El Paso hunter were
as varied as they were thrilling. Xor
were these trips without the element
of personal danger, which gives the big
game hunting its keenest zest. When
the silence was so deep that it was
necessary to hold his breath to listen,
there was not va moment that he might
not come face to face with some old
jungle warrior who could hold as much
lead in 'his system as a man could carry
in a tub, ready to fight for possession
of the path by right of conquest, the
hunting trips into the African wilds
were not as tame as a Sunday school
picnic in a dry district
Different Kinds of Shooting.
In some places, the author says, game
was so scarce that it required exhaust
ing, nerve racking experienpes to get
v'thin shooting distance of big game,
v,hilc in other localities game was so
r.lntiful that one might light a cig
aret and go out and bowl over a big
"wildebeeste" bull before the cigaret
was smoked. Sometimes he was In the
midst of thousands of animals of every
kind -elephants, rhinos, zebras, buffalo,
deer, hyena all huddled together like
Kipling's Jungle folks before the rain
came. Fc-asting on ragout of giraffe
tongue, zebra steak, buffalo tail soup
and elephant chops, the hunter says it
will be hard to accustom himself to
the meat of the barnyard and range.
Frequently Mr. Bronson refers to his
experiences In the west, and in one
chapter he describes the work of break
ing a bronco to a saddle as compara
tive sport when considered with Afri
can hunting. So plentiful is the big
game in this socalled closed territory,
Bronson says, that the S. P. C. -. would
go out of business In that field if
they depended upon the-native residents
for encouragement, as "vermin" is the
word they apply to all of the big game
of the territory. So plentiful Is it
that at ;tlmes on the Uganda railway,
the author says, the trains are blocked
by running into swarms of the wild ani
mals, many of which are run down.
On page 207 of the book Is a graphic
description of an experience on this line,
when a man eatrng lion jumped through
a car window, dragged away a man
and devoured him.
An Interesting Publication.
The El Paso author's book, the ad
vance proof of which has been received
here, is a genuine contribution to the
current literature of the present day.
He has a sense "of humor which re
lieves the tenseness of the strain which
is caused by his thrilling experiences.
His descriptions of the great forests
and jungles open a new field of word
painting and alluring. Instructive de
tail. His descriptions of the African rub
ber forest, the people and their quaint
dress and manner, and a typical lion
hunt In the jungle country, are among
his finest descriptive chapters. It is in
describing the thrilling incidents in the
jungle that he excels even the splen
did descriptions of nature and people.
Friends of Mr. Bronson in El Paso
are awaiting the publication of "In
Closed Territory," as his experiences In
Africa have been as closely followed
as have those of the other great game
hunter, Bwana Roosevelt.

Orogrande. X. M.. March 10. The
placer mill on the ground of the old
Tcxai-Jariila Mining company, which
was recently taken over by Fort Worth
men has been atariel. This mill has been
thoroughly overhauled and remodeled
and is now in much better condition
than when first built.
The First Xational company Is now
completing arrangements- whereby
Hessrs. Hartshorn, Richards & Co., will

capacity on their ground here.
A car of silver-lead ore was sent to
the El Paso smelter yesterday from the
property of F. Luna. This ore was taken
from an open cut and is practically sur
face ore. If the ore will stand shipment
the work will be continued indefinitely.
Under the "management of C. K. Hart
ley, the work at the Monte Carlo is be
ing steadily pushed ahead. The whim has
jut been moved from the Monte Carlo
claim to the Rabbit, where work is now
in progress on a shaft which has already
reached the SO foot point and- is showing
a nice vein of ore.

There Are Three Classes
of Minerals There.
Dr. W. B. Phillips, of Austin, Texas,
director of the bureau of economic ge
ology of the university of Texas, has
returned from a trip to the iJunynopa
nvning district, in the western tart of
the state of Chihuahua. His special mis
sion was an investigatoin of the Caro
lina and other mining1 properties in the
vicinity of Hasend.ta creek, a tributary
of the Rio Aros, as the headwaters of
the Yaqji river are locally called. He
also exanTned the Cinco de Mayo, Tres
Air-egos and Utah properties.
Three Classes of Minerals.
"The mines of Guaynopa," says Dr.
Phillips, "contain three classes of min
erals: First, silver-lead; second, gold
bearing quartz; third, gold bearing
copper All -the copper ores at the sur
face inthat camp, where they havs
been oxidized, show free gold, some
times running several ounces per ton.
In fact, one particular feature of that
district Is that It shows gold In all sur
face ores. I made continuous pannlngs
for trree days, and never failed to get
co..rs of gold.
"Geologically, there are Immense de
posits of limestones, through whion
dykes of porphyry and basalt have in
truded. The limestones have been
largely eroded.
"The ore deposits occur In the neigh
borhood of the porphyry Intrusions.
The canyons have cut the formation in
places to great depth, for instance, as
deep as 2S00 feet. These have exposed
the outcroppings of the veins, and the
exploration work has mostly been done
in the ennyons. There is a great deal
of disintegrated lime, or "wash," cov
ering the slopes of the mountain, cover
ing the rock, but where the workings
are the formation appears to be por
phyrite. Plenty- of Water.
"A feature of especial note is the
plentiful water supply in these moun
tains, suitable for water power. For in
stance, in the Hasendita creek there is
a fall of 700 feet. The Aros river,
which flows within three miles of the
heart of the district, offers great sites
for power plants, and there will be no
difficulty to generate and transport
abundant electrical powers for all min
ing operations. It is certainly a very
promising mining country.
The Quitmans.
"Of course, I am principally interest
ed In advancing the mining Interests of
west Texas, and purpose establishing a
summer camp in the Quitman moun
tains, which, together with the Diablo
mountains, I consider one of the richest
mineral fields in the United States."
Col. Jack Fleming Says 3few
Mexico Mines Have
Large Ontpnts.
Col. Jack Fleming, for many years
mayor of Silver City, X". M., Is at the
Zieg-er. He was one oX the most con
spicuous mining men attending the
miners' convention a few years ago in
this city.
He says there Is a steady flow of
bullion into Silver City from the Mo
gollon mountains. .Continuing, he said:
"Mr. .Craig's "Last Chance and the So
corro Mines company shipped $12,000
worth of bullion, representing three
days output. The veins of that moun
tain range outcrop boldly and are very
wide. The "Last Chance' is turning- out
100 tons a day, and the Socorro from
100 to 150 tons. The ores average $20
a ton, onethird of the values being
gold and twothirds silver. The ;elns
are immense fissures between quartzite
and porphyry. The cost of mining and
milling the ores Is $6 a ton.
Burro Monntaln.
"The Burro Mountain Copper com
pany has 3,000,000 of 4 percent copper
ore blocked out. The Chemung Copper
company, a Pittsburg company, which
has been developing for tnree years,
has an equal showing, and the Savanna
Conppr company has 15,000,000 tons
blocked out. The railroad grading is
confined to the vicinity of the Burros,
prepaartory to rushing it through when
the hug'e concentrating plants are com
.pleted. "The silver mines of Chloride flat,
which produced $4,000,000 years ago,
are affording a good living for Chlo
riders. Shiiiments used to be made
running $5000 a ton, and even $700 a
sack. The old gold placers are still
worked by the Mexicans.
"I am here with a car of ore from
the Burros, running 40 percent cop

Dr. TV. B. Phillips, of Austin. Texas,

Guanopa mining district in western
Chihuahua, and returns to his home to
night. constipation permanently by proper
personal co-operation with the bene
ficial effects of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, when required. The
forming of regular habits is most im
portant and vrhile endeavoring to
form them the assistance of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna is most val

acts without disturbing the natural

it is the one laxative which leaves the
internal organs in a naturally heaithy
condition, thereby really aiding one in
that way. To get its beneficial effects
buy the genuine manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for

and unfounded claims to cure habitual
constipation without personal co-op-oration.
