"S

This tract of land lies in. a block fronting about l's rail"; on the Rio Grande and three miles
north and south to the famous Llano Grands Lake one of the most beautiful natural lakes in the
state of Texas. This trat also lies immediately south of and in front of Llano Grande Station
which place also has post office and freight siding and is almost the exact center of the 100000-
acre tract of the American Rio Grande Land & Irrigation Syndicate's lands.
It is well known that the Llano Grande Grant is one of the finest bodies of land in the Rio
Grande valley is the oldest grant on the river and possesses as perfect titles and carefully prepared
abstracts as are to be had in the state of Texas.
This tract of land has been carefully surveyed and platted. Each block of laud in the tract
has its lines cut corner posts established marked and numbered. Roads have been cut cleaned
and grubbed and the entire tract contoured with levels showing each one hundred feet on every
line and rod throughout the tract. All surveys and location work for canal including lines cut
pumping sight and other location work has been completed and is ready for the contractor.
Contract to furnish water to these lands for this season's crop will be a part of the terms of
sale. This is represented as one of the highest grade propertiesin the valley and is now being
offered for sale for the first time.
No tract will be sold of less than 80 acres and it is the purpose to make such improvements
restrictions and developments as to insure for this property high gra le values.

Senator Daniel Resented Absence
Southern Men on Pan-American
Congress Delegation.
oi
The following press dispatch
from Washington will be read with
interest by people of the south gen-
erally: In the senate today Mr. New-
lands discussed the railroad rate
bill and Mr. Daniel the question of
the lack of representation by the
Southern States in the 'public service-
Mr. Newlands advocated
amendments to the rate bill pro-'
viding for the National incorpora-
tion of railroad and announced
himself as favorable to the govern-
ment ownership of those utilities.
Mr. Daniel's speech was based
on a provision in the urgent defi-
ciency appropriatipn bill for rep-
resentation at the next Pan-American
congress in Rio Janeiro in
July. He said the plans of the
state department did not meet the
contemplation of the South or the
far West and then entered upon a
general consideration of Southern
participation in National affairs.
He said that those who belong not
to the party in power realize that
that party is under no obligations
to grant political favors to them.
"But" he said "is it not time we
should recognize the fact that
things on which politics differ con-
stitute only a small percentage of
American affairs?"
He expressed the opinion that
the present generation takes little
account of the war between the
States and declared that the man
who would say that there was not
in the South good material for any
public mission was nothing less
than a narrow-minded bigot.
Mr. Daniel advocated an amend-
ment to the bill reported by the
committee providing for the repre-
sentation of all sections of the coun-
try in the proposed conference. It
had been learned from the hearings
by the committee he said that
there were to be five commission-
ers two of whom were to be from
Illinois one from Pennsylvania
one from New York and one from
Porto Rico but he said "we look
in vain for a representative from
the entire region south of the Poto-
mac and west of the Mississippi-"
He closed with a suggestion for
the increase of the appropriation to
$75000 so as to permit the ap-
pointment of two more commissioners-
The amendment was ac-
cepted and the bill passed.

Massachusetts Court Holds a Wife Can
Sue Her Rival in Love.
Boston April 5. For the first
time in the history of the law
courts of Massachusetts the full
bench of the supreme court yes-
terday handed down a decision
declaring that a married woman
has the right to bring action against
another woman for alienation of a
husband's affection. For hundreds
of years a husband had a right of
action against another man for
alienating his wife's affeetions.
The decision was in the case of
Mrs. Anna Folin of Newbury who
had sued Marion Pearson of the
same town.
Mrs. Sofia R. Kenedy.
The remains of Mrs. Sofia R.
Kenedy beloved wife of Geo. M.
Kenedy arrived from Corpus
Christi yesterday afternoon ac-
companied by the grief stricken
husband and. Jno. G. Kenedy. A
vast concourse of people met the
train which bore the lifeless re-
mains of the young wife who a few
short weeks ago left here with her
husband little dreaming of the
awful sadness her return would
cause to loving relatives and
friends. The remains were carried
to the home of Mrs. L. M. Riva-
dulla mother of the deceased and
it was from there the funeral took
place at 9 o'clock this morning.
The funeral procession was a very
large one and attested the high
esteem in which the deceased was
held in her childhood home.
Born in Matamoros October 6
1890 Mrs. Sofia R. Kenedy (nee
Miss Sofia Rivadulla) was only
sixteen years old at the time of her
death. Her girlhood was spent in
Brownsville and vicinity and she
was greatly loved and admired by
all who knew her.
Death is always sad but when
the grim reaper lays his blighting
hand on the young and lovely
one whose life gives promise of
great happiness and usefulness
the blow is doubly sad and the
heart is wrung with sorrow at the
thought. To the young husband
who has thus been be reft of a
loving wife and companion the
grief stricken mother sisters
brother relatives and friends Tub
Herald offers the sincerest con-
dolence and hopes that He who
took the life of the sweet young
wife will also comfort the sorrow
stricken ones left behind.

SECRETS OF A1EXICAN INDIANS
Discoveries of Minerals Carefully Con-
cealed From the Curious."

T. J. Clay.
"Some two weeks agoa-Mexican
of the buscon class offered to sell
me a considerable quantity of placer
gold which he claimed he had
found within 100 kilometers of
Tepisco but he refused to tell
where he had got it" said T.
G. Gibson of Tepisco Sonora.
'"Among this gold was one nugget
as large as an ordinary sized mar-
ble. A friend of mine bought this
gold for $300 and a dav or two
later it sold of $565.
"It is no uncommon thing to
find the buscones of that part of
of the country with gold for sale.
This nugget" here he exhibited
a piece of smoothly worn wash
gold of irregular shape and about
half an inch long by a little over a
quarter of an inch wide with a
piece of white quartz running
through it "I bought from a bus-
cone some three years ago in
.Tepisco. He had several other
pieces of fine gold ore but as I
was not interested in mines I
bought this simply for the purpose
of making a pin out of it.
"About eight months ago a bus-
con brought into Tepisco a mule
load of silver ore which he sold
for $260 to one of the local ore
buyers. All efforts to induce him
to reveal the plabe where he ob-
tained the ore proved of no avail.
When he found he was watched
by spies of mining men he went
back to work upon a little corn
ranch that he had in the neighbor-
hood and there he stayed until
those watching him got tired.
About two months ago he sudden-
ly disappeated and had not again
been seen there at the time of my
depaiture two weeks ago. It is.
my opinion that he is again on the
hunt for the mine from which he
got the oie- Or if he knows where-
it is heis taking ore out on the
quiet; for he sold out all his corn
and realized on his other crops at
a sacrifice before he left.
"it may be that he is taking out
denouncement papers. But this I
doubt as an Indian in that coun-
try rarely does that for it means
the panient of taxes and inci-
dentally the revealing of the
place where the mine is situated
The Indian about there has been
so badly treated and cheated that
ne is afraid of everyone and sus-
picious of even the mining authori-
ties. "The silver ore which this In-
dian brought into the town was an.
oxide almost jet black running
like a great seam through a wide-
vein of hard lime formation. One
of the pieces of ore brought in by
the Indian assayed $1800 to the
ton in silver and $1500 to the ton
gold. Very little of it ran much
less. The man who made the assay
has tried every means in his power
to induce the Indian to teli him
where the hidden mine is nut th
best he could get out of him was.
that it was in the north at a con-
siderable distance from Tepiscok
and that the whole region which
is on the borders of the hot lands
is seamed with veins of silver ore.
"Many buscones have been seen
on the hunt for this hidden mine
ever since the Indian brought in
the famous ore spme months ago"
