Pioneer Press: Messrs. Erickson
and Edlund, proprietors of the Red
wood Falls gold mine, were seen at
the Ryan yesterday while on their way
to Redwood Falls from Chicago, where
they have purchased a stamp mill and
gold refinery for their mine. The plant
costs $4,000, and will be in working
order within forty days. This plant
is to be located at the mine, seven
miles distant from Redwood Falls, in
the valley of the Minnesota river, and
will have capacity of thirty tons of
ore daily. The proprietors are of the
opinion that the Redwood Falls peo-
pie have made mistake in not trying
more vigorously to induce them to
erect the mill in the city.
The weekly weather crop bulletin
for the week ending Aug. 18th, reports
that the yields everywhere are better
than expected except in Redwood and
Big Stone counties, where they have
fallen to lower average. The week
has been warmer than usual, while the
rainfall continues deficient. Scattered
local showers have been beneficial to
growing crops in few places, but in
general the drouth conditions have be-
come intensified. Hail in Kittson and
Murray counties did little damage to
late crows. There are quite number
of forest fires in the northern part of
the State and the meadows and marsh
es are burning in this and other Sec
tons. Considerable hay has been de-
stroyed in this way and the atmos-
phere everywhere is exceedingly
smoky. The complaints of damage
by fire are most numer GUS in Todd
county. Corn is ripening fast and
some in the southeastern part of the
State is being harvested. It's condi-
ton relative to prospective yields re-
mains unchanged, with large quaint
ties only fit for fodder. The potato
crop like all the others this year is
very uneven; q larger than usual acre
age has been planted. On heavy soil
as rule the yield will be good, but
on light soil, the condition varies from
fields that never will be dug to those
that will yield fairly we'll. In Dakota
and Winona counties complaints are
made of dry rot beginning to show,
which without rain to check it, will
work considerable damage. In Pipe
stone and Freeborn counties and few
other spots where the drouth was most
severe, and then broken by copious
rains a second growth is doing some
damage. The universal verdict is that
the quality of potatoes will be excel
lent, but that there are but few in
hill, which will greatly reduce the
yield, and the increased acreage can
not possibly overcome deficit on this
account. The quantity of stock being
