The Salina Herald says: So many
reports have gone abroad regarding wheat
in Central Kansas, some of them conflicting,
we have made many inquiries Of those who
have heretofore been close in their esti-

Of the reports leads us to believe that we will
have fair crop-not the largest ever known
in the State-that will probably average fif-
teeen bushels to the acre. This Is q liberal

from the actual yield. Much harm is done
US by claiming, a. soon as the country ID

twenty-five to thirty bushels to the acre,
and then harvest eight or ten. The Herald
endeavors at all times to be near the truth,
hence our estimate of fifteen bushels per
acre.

shillings per acre. is now let with
difficulty at from fifteen to twenty-five
shillings; clay land, which let at thirty
shillings, may now be had at frem seven

be prevented under the State law from full
filling the duties of that Office. The matori-

her If all the laws in Christendom prevented
her election.

How IT WAS Done A short time
ago when Messrs Prescott aud Buckley,
manager and assistant manager of the
o R & NCo,were going down the river,
the boat stopped atAlmota and some one
incidentally remarked to Mr.. Buckley
that there was much murmuring at the
charges of the Almota Transfer Com.
pany. He inquired what these charges
were, and on being told expressed him
self that it was as good as gold mine,
and measures were at once taken for
the purchase of the warehouse proper
ty and levee right. The owners had no
desire to dispose Of their prolific goose,
and so informed the steamboat CON-
pany. Then the COM pany directed their
agent ct Almota to proceed to make
arrangements to open an Office at Pen
awaws. making Almota prepaid sta
ton. Then Mr. Moore concluded he
had no particular use for warehouse
at Almots, and sold to the company.
The history of this transfer company
is one in which inordinste greed over
whelmed sound judgment. and the
wonder is that the little monopoly
should have been allowed to exist so
long.-Spokan Times.

THE TAKOU WINES.

Chas Sperry. who went up to Takou
mines in Alaska, last May, arrived
homedby the Los Angeles on Tuesday
He reports the Tskou mines in q
splendid condition, new discoveries be-
ing made every day of placer diggings.
The best placer diggings are found high
up on benches, or high gulches, as far
as prospected. Gold Creek, the main
stream OF the district, has never been
prospected to bed rock, but is thought
to be very rich. The monthly output
of dust has been sufficient to pay eli
bills. The claim of K Harris, the dis
coyerer. in Silver Bow Basin. is
very rich. and has yielded S14. 900 dur.
ing the past year. The next best pay
ing claim belongs to Antoine Marks, an
old Seattle coal miner, and has paid
Sl2 to the hand during the season.
There are at least twenty five claims in
the mines that are paying $40 per day
TO the man. Owing 10 the scarcity Of
water but few hours work can be done
each day. The country has proved to
he very dry, and the miners are now
digging water trenches to their claims,
and will not do much more 10 the way
of taking out gold this season. Next
year they expect to do big work In the
placer diggings, Quartz lodges have
been discovered eli over the di trict,
some of which are now being prospect
ed by San Francisco capitalists, with
favorable results. The general price OF
quartz locations ranges from $40 900 to
$40, 900 for each location. Mr. Robin.
son. representative of w 7 ColmaE,
of San Francisco, has spent six months
in the mines, and has secured interests
in number Of choice locations, and
came down on the steamer. on his way
to report to his wealthy hacker. ex-
pecting to return in October. The town
Of Harrisburg contains over l25 houses;
5 stores, / drug store. blacksmith
shop, / shoe shop. 2 carpenter shops, l
boat builders shop, 5 saloons, l barber
shop. marine garrison, with 30 United
States marines. On the 10Th inst q
convention of delegates from all over
the Territory met at Harrisburg to
arrange for the election of delegate to
go on to Washington, to lay the wants
of the people Of Alaska before Con-
gress. and ask for the establishment of
some form Of government for the peo-
pie. The election will be held on Sep
TENDER 9Th. The contestants for cleo
ton will be ex,Col!ectors n, d Ball
and III P Berry, with the chances
strongly in favor of the former. la
case the people succeed in getting
some form of government. Harris
burg will undoubtedly be the Capi-
tai, or seat of Government. Mr. Sper>
~ brought down some fine specimens
OF gold and silver quartz to back his
assertions IL regard to the richness of
that northern country.
