GOLD IN THE BLACK HILLS.
Letter from Prof. Janney-BsbOr Intel.
IiRenIly Directed Will Bring
Fortunes.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Prof. JAN
pey, in letter to the Indian bureau,
dated in the Black Hills, July 3lst, says
that he found gold in placer deposits on
both Spring and Rapid creeks, from their
hesdwaters to where they emerge from
the hills; and more extended visits and
explorations show that in localities in
the valleys of these streams the gravel
bsrs-especially those of the older form
alton and elevated above the present
level OF the streams-contain gold in
quantities sufficient to yield fair re-
muneration for labor economically and
skillfully applied, assisted by the proper
tools and mechanical appliances, !, at least
s mod rate amount Of capital or its
equiv nj; and such a system Of work
ing as The experience Of twenty-five
years has taught the miners Of the Pa
cific slope to employ. While valuable
placer deposits, as far as discovered, are
by no means rich or very extensive,
compared with these OF California, still
there is enough Of the precious metal to
develop the country, and stOck-raising
and agriculture will do the rest. In test
ing the deposits on Spring creek l
worked out q psr.iculsrly rich spot
where an old channel has been cut
across by the present bed OF the creek,
and in ten hours work, with small
sluice, obtained ive-siXths Of an ounce
of gold, or about fifteen dollars and fifty
cents. The soldiers had previously
panned cut OF the same place not less
than two ounces Of coarse gold, and on
measuring the amount OF coarse gravel
washed | found that the total yield was
at the rate OF four dollars per cubic yard,
or about three cents TO the pan as an av-
erage Tor the whole thickness OF the de-
posit. 1t wss uuly said OF this region
that there was gold in the very roots Of
the grass, but il * not the gold of the
gravel bsrs or quartz iedges, OF the gold
OF the miner or the geoleEist.

THE LEGALTENDER CLUB.
General Busler's Letter DECLINING the
Invitation TO Address 1t on the
Currency Gu -sIiOn.

New YORK, August 1S.-General But
Ter was invited to address a public meet
ing under the auspices of the Legal
Tender club of this city. Other engage
ments making it impossible for him to
be present, the general writes: 81 am
unable to comprehend, appreciate, and
much less admire, that system of gov
eminent finances which has so wrought
upon the business and production Of the
country that over two million working
men and women who desire productive
employment have not had it for the last
two years, and by which the production
which they would have sdded to the
wealth Of the country during that time
is lost. Assuming that each one of that
number, skilled and unskilled, could
have averaged two dollars per day for
the working days Of the past year, then
we have lost one billion two hundred
million, or about equal to half Of the na-
tiOnal debt, by their enforced idleness,
to say nothing of the loss Of the morale
OF the Workingmen and women. How
long men in active business, and prop
eTty-hOlders and holders of those kinds
of property which are open to the tax
gathereT, will permit system of finan-
cial administration to 90 Oh by which
tbeiT property shall depreciate thirty
three per cent. in its value, while own
ers Of property such as notes. mortgages
and bonds, which are untaXed because
not open to the taX-gatherer, have their
property appreciate and escape taxation,
is problem which the good sense of the
people of this country will solve in the
coming Presidential election

Is THIS A CANARD?
2UmOF that GoyeFn8r Allen Is About TO
Withdraw from the Ohio
Canvass.

TOLEDO, August l9-The Blade this
evening publishes the following article,
based on private information regarded
by that paper as entirely reliable:
"There is a rumor afoat to the effect
that the condition of the governors
health is such that his Withdrawal from
the guberDatoriai contest is quite prObs-
bic. His friends desire him to withdraw
for the protection of his health and the
prolongstion Of his life, while his po-
litical friends regard his defeat as GER
tain, which result would be disastrous
to his Presidential prospects. By with
drawing from the gubernatorial contest
and placing some other msD at the head
of the ticket, defeat in October would
enable the friends Of Allen to go before
the National convention with the plea
that he is the only Democrat who can
carry Ohio. Thurman and bis friends
bitterly oppose Aliens withdrawal un-
der any circumstances, az they expect to
make capital in the National cOnven-
ton by the Cefest OF Allen and bis un-
limited inf1stiOn scheme. These IumOrs
sre now stiOat among certain inner cir
cles OF the Democratic party, and should
a change be made in the head OF the
Democratic ticket, it may be looked for

WESTERN CROP REPORT.
COmpreheB Statement of the Result
of Ihe Years Labor a the States
of rAe West.

CINCINNATI, August l9.-To-mOrrow
mornings issue Of the Cincinnati Price
Current will contain what il claims as
the fullest and most comprehensive
presentation Of western crop reports yet
published, comprising about three hun
dred and fifty special returns, from near
ly as mEnScOunties in Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Michigan and Ken
tucky, t3i ether with some from other
States. They relate chiefly to wheat
The reports indicate that in Ohio and
Indiana full average acreage yield is
somewhat short, from large losses by
rain, and is OF a very inferior quality.
The Illinois crop is below an average,
condition largely cad, and quality infe-
riOr. The Iowa acreage is about ss usU-
al, and was generally harvested in good
condition; some damage from blight
and other causes; the yield is large in
some places; the crop is not full aver
age and the quality inferior. The Mis-
souri, crop is considerably short and ma
teTislIy damaged. Ia Kentucky the
yield Is up TO the average amount, but
largely and badly damaged. Michigan
has fair crop. In Wisconsin the crop
is very good and in good condition.
There is large destruction and damage
Of oats in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illi-
nois and portions Of Missouri, while the
acreage was increased, and Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa show large pro-
duction. In corn there is largely in
creased acreage, and very promising
crop outside OF portions Of the OHIO val
ley, and il the crop natures north and
northwest it will be much greater than
usual. Cattle and hogs generally are in
better condition than year ago, and in
many sections stock is feeding upon the
damaged grain. Much information is
furnished relative to other crops. POts-
toes promise an unusually large crop
throughout nearly all Of these sections.

THE YACHT MISTLETOE.
Particulars Of the Accident by Whit n
She was suB Queen ViotOTIa'S
WOmaBIy Interest ia the
Sufferer.

New YORK, August l9 The Herald s
cable specia! from IlD On says the
royal yacht Alberta, with Queen Vic
tOria on board, cOlIided at six o'clock
this evening, while crossing from o.
borne to GOspOrt, with the yacht Mistle-
toe, belonging TO J. s. Heyward, of
Manchester, VINO, with a party of
fiieDd3 were on q pleasure cruise. The
sailors on the Mistletoe were in the act
OF dipping their flag in honor of the
queen, when the cry was raised that the
royal yacht was running down the Mis-
hetoe. Great excitement euSusd, and
efforts were made to avoid q collision,
but It was tCO late; tie Mistietue was
struck on the starbOard side, abreast of
the mainmsst; the Alberta rode COM
pletely over her, lesing her own bow
spirit and cutwater- Il is impossible to
describe the scene on board the vessels.
The queen witnessed the collision from
the deck OF the Alberta. She was deeply
agilat5d, Wringing her hands in dread
ful suspense. Every effort is said to
have been made to save the party on
the Mi5tletoe, which was rapidly sink
Ing. Several Of the rescued were severely
Injured. The damage to the Mistletoe
Was so serious that she sank in q few
minutes, carrying with her a lady and
the mate. 1t being impossible to render
further aid, the Alberta proceeded on
her way to Gosp0rt, but had scarcely
reached the. Clarence yard when Cap
tain Stokes, master of the Mistletoe,
died. Mr.. Hayward, who was seriously
injured, was carried to the house Of the
admiral, at Portsmouth. The following
report OF the accident appears in the
Court Circular this evening: "When
the Alberta was crossing the SOlent with
the queen and family on board, q
sailing yacht ran under the Alberta,
which struck her, and she went down
in few minutes. The queen, though
terribly shocked, gave orders that every
effort be made to save the persons on
board, but it is to be feared that two
have been lost, besides those who were
injured. Her majesty spoke to Miss
Peel, the lady who was saved, and made
constant inquiries after those who were
wounded. On reaching Gosport she
gave orders to Admiral Elliott to spare
no efforts in behalf of the sufferers, and
to pay every attention to their wants."
