Copper ,line, in Vow Jor.er.

Copper mines were operated before the
Revolution near bennington. y j.. by
an English company. and since that tina
the history Of these deposits has been .
varied one. In 1886 a company was
formed with the intention Of developing
the copper on the Rockafeilow property.
Three English miners were engaged, and
in opening one Of the pre-Revolationary
shafts, about fifty feet below the surface,
they came across some mining tools
such as wedges and picks and an cab
bucket. strongly bound with iron, on
about two bushels capacity. They found
an irregular chamber about fifteen feel
square from which they believed coppoi
ore had been taken.
This experiment was failure, az wers
the attempts Of numerous companies fo1
the next thirty years. The best results
ever secured was TO produce copper at
the cost Of one dollar a pound when II
was selling at eighteen cents in the mar.
ket. The trouble appears 20 0e that the
copper exists only in small pockets and
not in sufficient quantities % pay for the
labor of getting il out.--Phllsdeiphi

THE TROUBLE EXPLAINED.

The EAGLES special correspondent this
morning gives different version of the
trouble ont in Seward county and an en-
tirely and new reason for the killing of
Sheriff Dunn. The information comes
from man who knew the principles in
timately. 1t seems that the old county
seat troubles, nor the killing of Wood,
nor Judge Botkin's position, had any
thing to do directly with the tragedy.

THE WEALTH OF KANSAS.

Few people other than statisticians
and economical students have any idea Of
the money value of the crops of Kansas
for the year just closed. Everybody
knew it was one of the great crops and
that this or that county raised millions
worth, but for the whole states results
few have had any notion. The report
just issued by the secretary of the state
board of agriculture gives the total fig
ures Of the result for Kansas for the
year 1891, as returned. 1t is a wonder
full and astonishing showing Were the
debt TERRIBLE what it is the state could
take care of it and still prosper. S17S,-
100000 is total almost beyond compre-
hension, two-thirds of which was from
grain alone.
The following is the valuable table:

WAR NOT NECESSARY.

II is probable that the court OF arbi-
traitors In the Boring sea case will be an
nounced soon. Our government will
select France and it is believed that Eng
land will select Italy. These powers
will select third. AS the sealing season
will not open till June there is no great
hurry. A prominent member of the for
eign affairs committee of the senate who
has been consulted in every stage of the
Boring sea case says it IS not to be ex-
pected that the decision made by the
commission would be mutually satisfac-
tory to both the United States and Eng
land. cit is only question of time"
said the senator, ''until we will be COM
PEELED to go to war with England to
settle the question of our northern
boundary. We are not ready for war
now with great power, but we will
have to do so sooner or later, and we
have no time to lose in establishing a
good navy and coast defenses." The
senator's name is not given, but is no
matter. PortentouS as the question is it
is certainly reasonable to expect that the
two leading nations in point of intelli-
gence and Christian influence will be
able to settle the disputed question with
out a resort to arms.

1t is the commonly received opinion
among business men throughout the
state that notable revival in trade is
already setting in. The Christmas trade
was large, and this is an indication that
times are getting better. Already money
is becoming easier in the large eastern
cities, and when this is the case. capital
lists look to Wichita and other parts Of
the west for investments, and there is
little doubt that inside of three months
there will be healthy stream of eastern
money will be flowing into this city and
other important towns of Kansas as well.

Senator Kyle has introduced bill in
that body to appropriate $3,000,000 to
ir1gate the arid lands of the United
States. The irrigation question is an i'm
portant one to the whole county and,
according to tie conclusions reached by
the statistcians in regard to the relative
propositions of arabic lands and growth
of population, it will sometime become
imperative for tie government to adopt
liberal policy on thai subject; but, in
view of the present situation in congress
touching the matter OF appropriating of
public moneys, and the strong pressure
for the opening of the lands in the ter
ritory that do not require irrigation, ii
would appear at least expedient not to
press the Kyle measure until the strip
and other territory lands question is dis
posed Of If both propositions are
pressed both may be defeated.

rho Outlook in Northeast Georgia.
Athens. Ga. June 2-(Special. 1.-The
crop outlook in northeast Georgia is very

of this section will gather more bountl1ul
harvests than they did last year. "a.
The cotton crop, while somewhat late,
is GENERALLY in splendid condition, and prom
Uses to yield fully as much, if not more, per
acre than the crop Of last year. A marked
decrease in the cotton acreage IS everywhere
apparent In some counties the decrease
It is not higher than 10. An average de-
crease in tie cotton acreage of ~ per cent
is about the true status of affairs.
This decrease is made up, however, In the
Increase of the cereal crops.
1t is remarked on all sides by prominent
ton is larger than it has been for many
years. More wheat and oats and corn have
been planted than ever before, and the crops
give promise of rich yields.
The fruit crop is an abundant one also.
The apples do not appear in great profuslon,
but the peach trees are absolutely burdened
with fruit The question now botherlng
the farmer Is what to do with all the fruit
when it ripens.
The farmers have nothing to complain of
in this section, and if the seasons are propi-
uous they cannot help from prospecting.
Poor Melon Crop.
Camilla, Ga, May 3O-(Special. by
melon growers who know, it is conceded that
the melon crop is the poorest ever known
in this section, and that the crop will be
unusually late and the fruit scarce.
The vines, on account of the continued
dry weather, are SMALL and, while some
have an overproduction of small fruit,
others have failed to fruit at ALL Those
vines having large number of melons are
insufficient on account of their size, to
mature melons weighing anything like those
usually shipped from this point.
Yesterday, in conversation with four
prominent growers of this county, the
question was asked: GLOW many melons
can you ship on the 10th Of June?" One,
who had forty acres, thought that he could
get two hundred; another, who had twenty
acres, thought that if he shipped one on the
10th he would do well; the third who spoke
had no fruit which promised anything for
the 10TH the fourth had no fruit on his
vines above the size of an egg.
The general crop prospect is not good.
Corn and cotton can stand the dry weather
for some days yet, but. if rain does not
come soon, the entire truck crop will be
badly injured.

extended to Triton by invitation of the

Before adJourning the association took
strong action against the California quar-
antlne on eastern nursery stock The poll
cy adopted is one of retalia ton on Califor-

Messrs. U. b. Pearsall and G. B. Car

Resolved That in the event of a reflls-
81 to repeal such obnoxious laws, we pledge
ourselves to make a united effort to have
our several states pass strict inspection
laws relative to tho importation of green
California fruits. ~
'Resolved, That in the event of having
to pass such laws, the executive committee
be requested to employ a good attorney to
