Some Interesting Eigures.

Leetn PRESENTS congress WIN
Some Interesting Figures.
WASHINGTON, April 19-Mr. T. o.

transmitted to congress a report on the

ering the calendar year 1891.
The product of gold from the mines
of the United States aggregated 1904
$40 fine ounces of the value of S33 1885,
600 This is an increase of $500, 900
over the products of the previous calen-
dar year. The increased product is due
largely to improved processes Of treat
ment and to the increased amount of
gold extracted from lead and copper
ores.
The product of silver from our own
mines was IS, $50, 900 fine ounces, the
commercial value of S57, 630,040. or of
the coming value in silver dollars of
sos, 4l6, 500. This is an increase of B.
$50, 900 ounces over the prior year. The
increased silver product was due prin-
cipally to the new finds in Colorado and
Idaho and the cheapening of the process
of smelling lead and copper ores bear
ing silver.
The total amount IF paper and me-
tallic money in circulation on Janury
/, 1892 Exclusive of the amount in the
treasury and its branches}, was S1,592,-

UNDER WATER.
Thousands of Acres of Wheat Land i'm
Illinois Submerged.

WHITEHALL, H., April 19.-The
heavy rains of Sunday night, accom-
panied by hail. precipitated an over
flow of the small streams in this local
ity. Wolf run was higher than for
thirteen years. Apple creek was out
of its banks, and the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy reservoir north of this city
broke its embankments and emptied
itself The flood of last week broke
Hartwell levee ON the Illinois bottom
and flooded Grassy lake, which covers
1900 acres. The levees on the Hart
well ranch protect about 5000 acres;
those on Keach's ranch over 5000. The
former lies on the north and the latter
on the south side of Apple creek,
whose waters played havoc with the
entertainments, which confined the
flood within limits of a quarter of a
mile. The damage to Mrs. Anna Reach
is considerable, since the 900 acres over
flowed had growing wheat and some
corn thereon. Farther up Apple creek
and near this city the levees of A. b.
Gregory and John Spangleberd were
greatly damaged and the Enclosures
overlooked
