A RICI i;iys J Te ix the Riche.4? ?( ( 'h U't if/o CORPUS CHRISTI, TUX., July .?. t?ld Don John Smith, whose plain tiame thc courteous and musical Mexi cans have melted into Don Juan Smidio. about to become a citizen of Texas, The event is important and worthy of notice. Ile say- he possessen more real ??state ami cattle than any other living l ian in cither ol' thc sister republics. Ande from his croat fortune, Don Juan Sm ideo is a man who is worthy . t' heing welcomed to citizenship in any country, few Jiving men possess ;>. history so replete with daring adven iros, heroic actions, aud rapid changes -f fortune. He has taken an active ?.art in nearly all of the revolutions and wars that have distracted Mexico in thc last three-quarters of a century. As a boy he witnessed the fall of thc vice regal power and the ii rial triumph of Hidaigo's revolution, and he saw Iturbide ascend thc throne at thc time of thc first republic that had cost so much blood. "Truly," says the ven erable man. "I cannot remember how 'nany wars 1 have been engaged in. I fough with Iturbide and against him, and Santa Ana had occasion, and probably good reason, for at one time flattering me as being a patriot and at another charging me with treason or rather rebellion, for 1 helped him to reach thc highest position within thc gift of our people, and, later on. wheu he became a tyrant I tried to kill him. 1 fought against thc French at Vera Cruz, and some years after ward I rode into thc City of Mexico with .Marshal Ha/ainc. 1 have camped with Juarez and suffered exile with Diaz." In his long career this remarkable old man has found time to accumulate one of the greatest fortunes ever con trolled by one mau in Mexico, and now it is said that he is going to bring all of this vast wealth across the Rio Grande into Texas. Ile already owns a large tract of linc land in Zapata county, upon which he expects to build a palace. Those who archest informed say that no man knows thc Mexican people Letter t'iau old Don Juan, and he has frequently been heard to exclaim: "After Diaz, thc deluge!" This is a key to his politi cal sentiments, and it doubtless ac counts for the move that he is making in time of peace. He is certainly the largest land owner in Mexico, and it is more than probable that he will soon bc regarded as tho greatest holder of real estate in cither of thc sister republics. Ho owns more than a million acres in one tract in thc State of Nueza Loon, and there ia little less than 100 sq uart miles included under one continuous line of wire fences in his famous Los V Iori tas ranch, on the Kio Grande. One straight string of this fence fol lows the south shore of thc Kio Grande for more than 100 miles. That is said to be the longest continuous string of pasture fence in thc world, though it has a close rival in the King ranch, in Texas. This is not only the largest but it is thc best improved ranch in Mexico. The ranch dwelling, which is occu pied just at this time by the old Don and his family, is said to have cost moro than $100,000, and it is one of tho most striking and beautiful pieces of architecture in thc world. The plans of tho building were furnished by Bofioan, a distinguished French exile whose genius has made thc City of Mexico, one of the loveliest cities in thc world. Tho frieze of the innu merable marble columns and the orna mentation of the great frontdoors and thc arches above them has won thc admiration of all tourists and visitors. It is evident that the old Don gave his wife and daughter free access to his treasure vaults when this wonder ful palace was furnished. It is said that Senora Smidio made a trip to K uro pc especially to inform herself as to the latest and most artis tic styles of furniture and household decorations. Though she was born and raised on the frontier of Texas, where all educational and social attain ments are limited, shebas shown that she possesses excellent taste and crit ical judgment in matters pertaining to the ornamentation of of a costly home. A stranger is amazed at the com forts and luxuries that are placed within easy reach of all the guest who are fortunate enough to be welcomed to the Los Floritas ranch. There are over 500 milos of telephone wire on thc ranch, making connection with a telegraph line that places the ranch house in communication with all parts of the world. An ice factory that is seldom shut down supplies cold drinks to the 500 cowboys that are employed in looking after thc cattle and horses. Ice is furnished gratuitously to all the inhabitants of the little village of Guerraro, not far away. There are fifteen sub-overseers dwelling on dif ferent parts of the ranch, and they are connected by telephone with the main office. This and the celebrated Ken I MAN. >1 Al'mi in all the Wide >rld. Tribune. nady ranch io Texan arc thc only two ranches in either of the sister repub lics that have established electric light plants, lt might b<- said that there is no such thing as darkness on the Los Floritas ranch, for one could pick up a pin at midnight on the great lawn or in the corrals miles away from thc big ranch house. It is certain that the old l'on wishes from the bot tom of his heart that the Rio Grande ran on the south side of Los Floritas, or that he possessed thc power to move his line house and his ranch over into thc United State-, and if he lives a little; longer he is sure to add a good many millions to the wealth of Texas and a strong Republican vote, for he is not an admirer of the theories of the Nebraska orator. l*'or thc last ten years Don Juan has spent large sums of money in improv ing hi? stock. A few weeks ago he sent 2,700 head of white-faced 52-year old steer across (he Rio Grande to his Zapatu ranch. That was regarded by all stockmen as thc finest herd that ever was seen in this country. On another part of his great ranch he has been breeding black Felled Angus cattle, and he now has a herd of about ?10,000 of these famous cattle, all of which he expects to move north of thc Rio (?rando this summer and fall. About 40,000 calves and 11 ,000 head of colts and young mules have been branded on the Los Floritas this spring. Resides his vast landed possessions and his countless herds of cattle, mules and horses, thc old gentleman owns ii gold mine in Chihuahua which has yielded him many millions. He considers this Chihuahua bonanza the most valuable piece of property in thc world. He never tires of talking to his son and daughter about this famous gold mine, and never a day passes that he docs not waru his son never to part with the "Inca's Bride." tue uauie of thc minc. "If I were younger," he often says, "1 would take enough gold out of that minc to buy the world." With all their great wealth, they are rather strange people, or at least, they would be considered that way by the modern title-hunting millionaire set of our country. In one of the periodical convulsions in Mexico which forced Don Smidio into exile he married a Texas girl, and it appears that even all the comforts and luxuries that attend illimitable wealth have never been able entirely to crush her love for the land of her birth and thc people whom she loved so well long ago. Texans have always received a warm welcome at the home of the SmidioB in Mexico. They have a son and a daughter, both of mar riageable age, but they have never made an effort to bring them iu con tact with rich people. The young man has recently become engaged to the daughter*of a poor cattle owner in Texas, and thc whole family warmly approves of tho match, though thoy aro well awavo of the fact that the young girl never in all her life woro anything costlier than a calico dress. It is rumored that Senora Inez, a good looking girl, ?s well ploascd with the attentions of a young American vaqueroj?who has recently boen pro moted from the hurricane deck of a mustang to aascat in the office of "le grande haciendo." "Wo have money enough," says the old gontleman, "and it is my desire for my children to make matches based upon love and affec tion." When asked by a tax collector for an estimate of his wealth, the.old Don replied: "God alone can answer that r|uestiou.'' Afterward, whilo talking with a friend upon this subject, he said : "Without boasting, I believe myself to be the richest man in thc world, and I think it is not difficult to de monstrate that fact. I have made a close survey of my gold mine called the Inca's Rridc, and find a little more than 5,000 feet of the face of thc ledge in sight. I have run a shaft into the mountain, following tho ledge for 1,000 feet. The ore averaging about $1,000 to the foot. Closing my eyes to tho hidden bonanzas and tho increase in thc thickness of the lode, which measures ten feet all along the line I have got no less than 5,000,000 blocks of quartz worth no less than $1,000 apiece, so you soc that lam worth about $5,000,000,000 and a trifle over in millions, which is invested in ranches, cattle and horses." This it not at all the dream of a boasting vis ionary, forit is a well-known fact that the Inca's Bride is one of the richest and most extensivo gold-bearing lodes in Mexico, and it is highly probable that the shrewd old finanoier is correot in the conclusion that he has roached as to the wealth of the wonderful mine. Bc say s that if he lives to complete all of his plans, and succeeds in trans ferring the balk of his property across the Rio Grande, he will add at least $1,000,000,000 to the wealth of Texas. Ile ?loe-, not know his exact age, ?"it lie remembers that his parents were ???crmaiis, and that he was !<'ft an '? orphan about the time t li at Iturbide ascended the throne of Mexico, lie was old enough to carry a musket at , that time, though he docs not think he was more than 15 years old. He \ does not look to be an old man. but he is positivo that he has lived more than ninety years. He loved war, and he i never missed au opportunity duriug 1 his long career to get into the thick of every revolution that swept over the . country, lie had grown somewhat , tired of the ceaseless turmoil about the time thc French invaded the coun- 1 try, and, being a large land and minc j owner, he began to feel the necessity of a strong government. This feeling lcd him to support Maximilian, and he fought for the unfortunate emperor until he got trapped in the trenches of feuere taro. i During thc existence of the empire Don Juan gained a victory over a de tachment of the enemy at Sabinas, and for his conspicuous gallantry in this action Maximilian created him Duke of Sabinas. Ile laughingly says that he did not play the duke ioug, and that he was glad that his friends :-oou forgot that he had ever owned thc title. He has been commissioned a general by a dozen different govern ments in Mexic, and now he is gladly willing to forget all these marks of distinction to become a plain citizen of the United States. Fortunately he had quarreled with Santa Ana about the time that the old tyrant invaded Texas, and he headed a movement on the Kio Grande to oppose the ambi tious schemes of the old Butcher of tho Alamo, which assisted materially the Texans. He was elected a senator while Santa Ana was a prisoner in Texas, and he favored deposing Santa Ana and granting independence to the Lone Star republic. He has hunte?! up his records in this matter, hoping that it will at least bc something that his descendants will be proud of when they grow up in Texas.
