Minnesota Crops.

st. Paul, August 4.-Special reports
from official figures show that the total
wheat acreage of Minnesota for 1881 was
100000. and for 1881 only about six
hundred acres more. The average yield
last year was 1890 per acre. Reports
differ considerably concerning this years
yield. Storms, floods and bugs have
done some injury, but the latest reports
are quite favorable, particularly in the
northern section of the state. Other ce-
reals promise more than an average
yield. Minnesota's chief product is
wheat, she having raised last year but
738,O0O acres of corn; 476,OOO acres oi
oats and 203,OOO acres of barley.

ID
Denver, August 4-The Tribune's Las
Vegas special from Socorro, New Mexi-
co, says an engagem ent between lene-
gade Apaches and ranchers has just
taken place on Red creek in the San Ma.
leo mountains. Seven Mexicans were
wounded and one died this morning. It
is reported that the Indians are sup.
posed to be under the leadership Of
Dave and are coming north killing every
thing in their way. A large number of
defenceless whites are reported killed
already, and there can be no mercy ex-
pected for those yet to be encountered
Four sheep herders have been massacred
in the San Maleo mountains and other
sheep men are missing. A later dispatch
from Capt. Jack Crawford at Fort Craig
confirms the above report, and says that
at 11:30 the Indians jumped the Mitch
ell party of ten Americans and twenty.
six Mexicans out from Cheleroide City
on trail in Red canyon. The fight last.
ed till dark. Three Indians killed. Nine
Mexicans and Americans were wounded
and killed with two missing and thei,

suggestions. The great bulk of the work
done by the street force was in the way Of re-
pairs. Holes in the principle streets have
been filed time and again 10 be- wsshed
out by the next rain. Culverts, boxes
and drains built during the past six or seven
years are now all In rotten and dangerous
condition, and the force has been continually
busy either patching or rebuilding them.
de suggests that the culverts 10 the business
portion OF the city, at least, be built'of brick
MS fast as the old ones become auserviceable
Small box sewers have been replaced BY
larger ones and built many new ones A
great deal Of work in this direction remains
yet to be done. Improvements have been
made 6y grading and guttering in many
parts ofthe city, especially on Aksrd avenue,
Young jackson, Commerce, San
Jacinto' Bryan, Sycamore, Hsrwood,
0lssnder, Msssen, Mckinney, Cedar, Austin,
jefferson, Houston, Cochran, Main, Patter.
son, Elm and Live Oak streets, and Oh the
road leading to the Ford. Work is badly
needed in street grading and bridging, which
IS urgently needed. Especial attention is
direc1ed to the drainage of the city; natural
water sheds south aud east of Ross avenue,
tend directly toward the south and west,
leading directly through the heart of the city.
Water that falls on the prairie northeast of
city, outside of the corporate limits, flows
uown Bryan and San Jscinto streets and
across Elm and Main and through the busi-
ness centre on its way to the river. As it is
property il frequently endangered when there
is a freshe. He suggests drainage to turn it
down Mssten street into Dallas branch, and
that the channel of the branch running
from north Of Bryan and Live Oak streets,
by the planning mills, be removed from the
center OF the block US it now runs, and
turned down contiguous streets, straitening
the course and increasing the fall thus avoid.
ing overhows. The property thus benefited
would more than pay for the cost of sue
work. This drain which now runs through
thirteen blocks of private property, it ia im :
possible to keep the channel from becoming
choked with filth.
During the summer months over one
hundred street crossings of gravel were
made, but having no foundation, was car.
ried away with the mud. A number Of
crossings were subsequently, constructed Of
rock and gravel, and which are 9
success. Sidewalks are rapidly being
built in the resident portion
ofthe city. During the past six months five
and hall miles Of new side walks have beer
built This has been since the passage Of
the sidewalk ordinance. The engineer state.
that property owners are willing to build the
walks, but want the city to do its part in
grading the streets.
During the past year there has been
great deal OF solid, substantial Improvements
IN the city in the way of both business
houses and residences, which are of bettel
class than those heretofore erected. There
has been one hundred and sixty-one build
ings erected, thirty-one of which are brick, ter
of stone and the remainder Of frame, at {
cost of about S242, 900 90. Building Is or
the increase.
