THE KEYSTONE.

This prospect is no longer prospect
but is worthy 10 be called mine in the
fullest sense The property is located on
Running Wolf about four miles below
the Morrison 4 Woodhurst The owners,
Messrs. Fraser. Packard IL Woodhurst,
have run an inclined tunnel in about 80
feet and now have large body of ore in
sight. At the surface the ore vein was
only one foot thick. This pinched until
the ore streak was ouly two inches wide
and continued about the same for nearly
twenty feet. 1t then commenced to
widen and is now over five feet thick and
all ore. The vein contains several kinds
of ore, the principal being hard car bon
ate, running well up in silver. galena,
chloride of silver and soft carbonate.
Among the specimens taken from this
mine are some punches of lead crystals.
In shape they are hexagonal prisms OF
great beauty, and when held in the blaze
of lang will readily melt. Fifty tons
Of shipping ore are now piled on the
dump, and rs the tunnel progresses more
is taken ont every day. The ore is found
between dolomite lime and hanging
wall Of porphyry.

THE CARTER BONDED.

The Carter lode. lying east OF the May
and Edna, was bonded last week 10y
Humphrey & Richardson. The bond
runs for year and its terms provide
that the lessces shall be allowed to ship
the ore out. Work was commenced in
the old tunnel where there was some ore
in sight and within a week of the time
of commencing operations the mine had
produced more than enough ore to pro
vide for the payments the first year OF
the bond Mr.. Richardson has started
to drift in order to find the best place to
sink shaft. The ore is a mixture OF va
rious kinds Of carbonates with occasional
chunks of galena and is of average rich
ness. There is still plenty of ore in sight
and the owners will work it for some
time vet

BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Board of Health held meet
ing Tuesday night, and will meet here
after every month. The signs of life
which it is putting forward under the
new administration are pleasing.
A motion was offered by G. f. Holl-
man, and adopted, providing for the
appointment of Otto Dollar as public
city scayenger. and making his pay as
follows: Fifteen cents per cubic foot
for priyy vaults, and twenty-five cents
per load for hauling manure, to be
hauled where the common council
shall designate, such services to be
paid for after inspection, and TO be
paid by the property owners or occu-
pants.
The question has arisen whether this
prevents property owners from hiring
other persons to do this work. If this
is so. an injustice has been done: if
not, the action is a wise one and
should be enforced. The next step
which the board should take should
be to prohibit all vaults in
the city, and to require dry earth
closets outside the sewerage system.
This would be no hardship to anyone,
and would remove pregnant source
of disease,

THE CROPS.

Reports from all portions of the
county since the rains bring in most
cheering information concerning the
condition of all kinds of farm. pro-
duce. The outlook has seldom been
better at this date. Wheat is head
ing out with long heads and plenty of
straw. Corn is doing well. being from
one to two feet high Flax is coming
up nicely.
Chas. H. Deitz, of Mapleton, was in
the city Monday, and reported the
crops as looking splendid. There was
heavy rain there Wednesday, but
none Sunday. Wheat is heading out
and never looked better. Corn is
pushing ahead hay is fine, and pas
turage excellent. A long cry spell
could be stood without damage. He
said that everything is in fine condi-
tion, and the prospect for large crops
was never better.
Commissioner III. II. Edwards
brought in a load of hogs Monday
morning. He found the roads rather
bad. though they have had no rain in
his district, west Of the city, since the
soaking one of Wednesday. Wheat
there is heading cut, and corn going
ahead. Both were set back early in
the season by dry weather, but are
now making up for lost time. Corn
was considerably eaten by the cater
pillars, but has now gotten the start
of them. These insects are still nu-
merous Though the woods there.
A gentleman who drove through
Hebron Sunday says that the wheat
is heading out nicely there and looks
fine. The same is true of corn. He
was greatly pleased with the outlook.
A heavy shower occurred there that
day, growing in intensity nearer the

A New Curve

Eastern papers claim that rising
young base ball pitcher has perfected
his peculiarly original delivery until
he can almost stop ball at the home
plate, make it describe circle about
the batsman, hit the umpire and then
drop into the catcher'S hands. He is
now inventing twist which shall put
man out at third, and kill the kick
er in the grand stand. Thus. it will
be seen. that base ball is becoming
more and more of science. The
Northwest is becoming quite base
ball centre, being represented in the
league. and those who desire to at
tend some Of the league games played
in the large cities should always take

times, in fact, because it is the best

HOME JOTTINSS.
DEATH OF MRS. WILLIAMS.

Mrs. t. 81. Williams died at her home
on S. Second street at 6:15 o'clock Mon
day afternoon. The announcement
of the fact caused considerable sur
prise among all except the most inti-
mate friends of the deceased, as few
had thought the end so near. Her
affection was consumption, caused by
a general breaking down of her
strength a year ago last January.
Nothing was able to check the course
of the disease, although the best med
ical attendance and the kindest care
of ministering friends were bestowed
upon her. A visit to her parents,
home last summer and winter spent
in Colorado were equally Ineffective in
restoring her health.
1.-THE deceased was aged thirty-four
years and was daughte Of Rev. and
Mrs. J. B. Little. Of Davenport, To-
wa. formerly Of this city. She came
to Mankato with her parents when
thirteen years Of age, and had resided
here most of the time since. Twelve
years ago she was united in marriage
to Mr. Williams. She was devout
member of the Presbyterian church,
was active in the ladies' societies of
that church, and everywhere made
her kindness and the nobility Of her
character felt. She leaves four chill
sdren, the Oldest eleven years.
Mrs. Williams was graduate of Ok
ford (Ohiol college, and on her return
to Mankato taught two years in the
Normal School, with marked success.
The funeral was held at 3 p. M
Thursday foem the house.

PERSONAL.

c. Bruce, Of Garden City, was in the
city Saturday He said that grain is
quite small in that township, and
that people will be surprised at the
lightness of the crop. This is owing
to the dryness during the spring.
Fred Busch, of Red Wing, formerly
of this city, has moved back to Man
kato and has rented the old express
office, back of the Model Clothing
House. where he will open an insur-
ance office
Lyle Soaring returned Tuesday af-
ternoon from Ann Arbor, Mich, where
he has completed his first year in the
university.
PostmasterMcConnell returned Tues
day night from his Kansas trip. The
farmers of Kansas are in the midst of
harvest, and while the wheat crop
will show up fairly well. Mr.. Mcconnell
says it is over estimated. They have
had altogether too much wet wealth
er for the good of wheat, fields of ripe
grain standing to-day in from four to
sNinches Of water. making it impos-
sible to put harvester into it. Flax
will be a fair crop. Corn is looking
very well, but hardly up to the aver
age.

IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of Ernest Gilmore, young
est son Of Mrs. Annie Gilmore, who
died at Garden City, June 5, 1891,
aged years, 3 months and 13 days.
Why do we mourn for those we love
Whom our dear Lord has called,
Up to that brighter world above,
Why stand we thus appalled,?
Once more our home is desolate,
Another summons came
This time twas Ernie called TO wait
Upon the Saviors name.
He was bright, a budding Tower;
Our pet. the youngest born,
Thus we shall see him that first hour
Upon the Judgment morn.
Held US to bear another grief
O thou, most Holy Onei
Oh! May the parting be but brief
When all our work is done.
God comfort the Borrowing mother,
Battling alone with her grief
Be thou unto her as a Brother,
And bring her a calm relief
