present lack of capital prevented systematic
prospecting until last year, when work was
pushed with greater speed. Some s., 600 have
been spent in putting down shaft 40 feet
and the owners have been rewarded by splen-
did lead which they are now opening at the
110-foot level. The output is lead and zinc. and
the mineral being in clay is very easily pre-
pared for market. no crushing being required.
A good lead is reported at the 60-foot level, but
as water was needed to wash the clay from the
mineral the shaft was sunk below. and that
will be investigated later. Every indication
points to a new mining camp in southwest Mis-
souri, before the summer is past.

WINTER WHEAT.

The condition of winter wheat, as
estimated from returns of correspond
ents at this date, gives an average for
the state of SO per cent, as compared
with es per cent. one year ago. As re-
ported by sections, the lowest average
condition is rs in northeast and the
highest IS in southeast Missouri The
average date of wheat-seeding last fall
was September Is, ten days earlier than
the previous year, but the condition of
the soil was bad, and much of the seed
failed to terminate, or at best made q
weak, spindling growth. The low tenn
perature, the very little protec-
ton afforded by snow and the
ice which in sections of the
state covered the ground for a
period during the winter. indicates
that much of the area sown has been
wintcr-killed; but the continued cold
weather has prevented a sufficient
growth of the plant to make it possible
to estimate the proba BILE acreage which
will be plowed up. When compared
with the condition April 6, of an aver
age year, the prospect for a wheat crop
is bad, but when compared with the
prospect last year at this date and we
remember that, on the area sown, a
fair crop in both yield and quality was
produced, there is reason to take
courage.
Rye was less injured than wheat by
the severe winter. and is II points bet
ter in condition than April 1, of 1892.
The area is below that of an average
year.
At the end of March oat-sowing had
only commenced.
LIVE STOCK.
The dry cold weather was favorable
to live stock of all kinds and the COM
parative condition is high. Among
horses there were fewer cases than
usual of distemper, CHAMBERS and lumpy
jaw reported. and no epidemic of any
kind. Cattle have been also compare
lively free from disease. More than
fifty per cent. of the death rate re-
ported being from exposure and too lit
tie food. Except for the destruction
among sheep from dogs, the death rate
was chiefly from loss of young lambs,
owing to the long-continu cold in
March. The high price and demand
for marketable hogs would naturally
induce good care and shelter and con-
sequent high condition and freedom
from disease. Cholera, in its vari GUS
forms, is reported from almost eve y
section, but the death rate has been
comparatively very light. The num-
Der of breeding sows now on hand is
70 per cent. less than at this period in
1892

A wild Man In Illinois.

The appearance of large man, in an
almost nude condition, in the woods in
st. Clair county, ILL.,, has caused con-
siderable excitement.
Constable William Becker organized posse
and went in search of the strange man. He
was found in straw-stack. The man offered
some resistance but was overpowered and
taken to ST. Libory. After being clothed and
fed he suddenly became wild. tore his clothing
into shreds and escaped into the woods. He
was recaptured later and taken to the county
hospital. The next day he escaped or was re-
leased from the hospital and he passed through
ST. Libory on his way south. The stranger
weighs about 200 pounds, gave the name Of Pc
ter Hoffmann and claimed his home was in
Evansville Ind. It is thought that the man Is
afficted with temporary fits Of insanity.
