before there vas a railroad ( a that city , and
upon reporting his action to ( hue main offlce
received a cautioning letter from tim president -
dent , advising him not to ho toe hasty in
extending his territory beyond the limits of
civilization ,
It huas beer thirteen years since His
previous visit. to Omaha , and he expressed
surprise at ( hue improvements whIch hare
beemi auntie in the city , auud the west during
that time ,
Wiihinm Mormon , past presIdent of the
American Society of Civil Engliuners , arrived
In his sPecial car yesterday morning. lie
visited time exhlohition grounds and expressed
surprise at thin unagnitudo of the buildings
and spoke hmigbly of the artistic ensemble
of the buildings. Mr. Mormon spent one
lunar visiting City Ingiaeer Itosowater , a
fellow member of time American society ,
leaving ( ho city on his annual tour of bridge
inspectIon on the Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy system.
One of the visitors to the exposition at
present in the city is 'u. II. Kerr of Fhatonia ,
Tex , , state senator of the Lone Star state
and a prosperous planter flnti business maui ,
Senator Kerr is traveling on the shady side
of life , but figures ( hat he has made a sue-
cons of his earthly race. lie landed in Tcas
forty-six years ago without a son markee
in hIs jeans , literally speakIng , for as soon
as lie reached the state lie donned a pair of
overhauls and as a huodcnrrior earned thin
money necessary to purchase his first Texas
meal , Since that time ho has been journey-
lag steadily upward until lie Is now well-
to.do. Of hate years lie has injected himself -
self into Texas politics amid his success has
followed him in this line.
"I was the only gold mon In our legislature -
laturo , " declared Senator Kerr , "and I was
elected only because I was so old and well
known it resIdent of my county. Texas
has been badly stricken with the Bryan
craze , for this free silver busIness was noth-
iog but a craze In my opinion , People In
my state arc gmndunlhy going back to hard
money lrinciphes and will land on the u'ighit
side of the fence. We will elect present
Governor Culberson , who will ho in your
city this month en Texas day , to succeed
Mills to represent Texas iii the United
States senate , We will elect him surely , for
we are all democrats down ( hero , '
Senator Kerr Is the author of an anti-
lynch law bill , whichu lie declares Is driving
Judge Lynch out of thin Lone Star state.
AccordIng to this law time marshals arc held
directly responsible for any lynehings. If
the marshal connives at the capture by a
mob of a crIminal and the latter Is put to
death , the uularshai on conviction suffers
death also and all who were with hIm. tinder -
der any circumstances , if a mob secures a
prisoner from him and slays hIm , the mar-
shah is stripped of his omcc anti can never
agaiuu hold 0111cc InToxas , Seumatorlcerr introduced -
duced time bill on ( he theory that marshals
frequently assisted ( lie mobs by really turn-
lug over thu prisoner tufter a show of re-
sistance. " 1 may be wrong in thIs , " Sena-
tnr Kerr declares , "bitt you will notice that
there have been no more hyuuchings In Texas
since thin law went into effect. "
Senator Kerr is enthusiastic over the cx-
posItion , Speaking about it ho said : "I
have been to every exposition hehit in this
country since the Centennial and I have
spent weeks and months at each one. This
Omaha exposition is second only to thin
World's fair , All thin rest that have been
held have not been in the asian class wIth
it , And the view
of the lagoon Is more
beatitiftil thou anything at the Chicago

rare metal found in the Black lulls ,
A new strike of ore has beeui made In the
American Express group of nuines , In Black-
tall. The uicw shoot runs parallel with the
mnln shoot , and is equally as rich. This Is
the secouiti vertical shoot that has been
crosscut. The fIrst shoot is fifteen feet
whIt' , all shipping ore. The second shoot
Is cquaily as large.
A new shaft , which has beer , sunk on a
corner of the \Vasp No. 2 , hue blocked out
100 feet sqtmare of almost solid ore of a high
grade. It Is estimated that the 100 feet will
net $200,000 , 'when mined.
A new vein of ore , assaying $2 a ton
of gold , hiss been struck on thin proposition
belonging to James Cochran of Custer , near
ltochford. It Is mostly frce-rnilhiag , and is
considared a rich find.
\V. E. Eastman and associates , who have
been working a lease on tim Dom Pedro
mIne , on Lexington 11111 , made a very rich
strilco this week. They supposed the ore
was on their lease , but it afterwards proved
to ho on a claim owned by Ickes Brothers.
The body of ore is quite extensive and
assays $50 to a ton.
Returns luavo been received from two ear-
loads of ore from the Spokane mine , owned
by S. FL Young and associates. The average
was $ ° 3 a ton , The shaft Is clown 120 feet
anti a large iedgc of milling ore is exposed ,
About four feet of it is galena , carryIng 60
per cent lead.
The shaft on the LIzzie group of mines ,
two miles east of Custer , has reached a
depth of 120 ieet. The vein of copper is
widenIng out and Is incrqasing in the
aniount of copper. The central core of the
vein is a honeycombed quartzlte , which
carries considerable go1i. ' The vein is a trite
fissure , nine feet In width , between two
solid walls.
The Dacy Brothers have let a contract
for sinkIng a shaft 125 feet , on the Eleventh
hour property at Ragged Top , 'where some
promising ore has been found.
A new shoot of ore has been encountered
in the Gilt Edge mine , in Strawberry guhc'h ,

ilexieitut Cattle Not 5.Vumled ,
FORT WORTH , 'rex , , Aug. 1.-The
Mexican cattle trade seems to be falling off
quito rapIdly , The importations for Juno
from the republic mm Texas were less than
one-fourth as large as those of May , and
less than one-fifth as large as the importa-
( Ions of last year for the same month ; and ,
as snuall as the importations were , they
wore largely made up of calves , As to the
present month , the receipts of cattle thus
tar in the month , now nearly completed , are
almost too small to mention , There can be
but one Inference froni those facts , and
that in the surplus cattle of Mexico have
been about sold , off anti prices there arc
now so high as to make it an unprofitable
flelil for buyers from the United States , The
total ImportatIons for the first six niontbs
of the present year vere 1I0,83 head ,
against 229,091 bead for the same time in
1597.
