TOPEKA, KaE., JuneG-The weather
crop bulletin of the Kansas service for
The week ended the Sd says: In the
eastern division the high winds of the
eth and 2sth did much damage to
fruits and sorae other crops. The
leaves on the southern side of the fruit
trees were scorched as by fire, and
much fruit blown off The rains CT
the 10Th, 30th and 3lst have greatly
improved conditions. Corn is clean
and growing rapidly; fax, oats, pas
ture and meadows improving; potatoes
are looking fine and in bloom. Wheat
and rye nearly ready to cut, especially
in the south.
In the northern and western coun-
ties of the middle division crops have
made greater Improvement than in the
southern The high winds of the 27th
and 2Sth did much damage, and in
sandy soils burned some fields with
drifting sand. Corn is yet the best
crop in this. division; wheat better
than oats, heading with short straw
but good berry. Fruit much thinned
by the winds.
In the western division the very
good rains have greatly improved all
crops above ground. Flowing will
now be vigorously pushed for more
paintings and large acreage of fOd-
der crops will go in. Much corn was
planted this spring but large part
remained in the dry ground unsprouted:
the heavy rains of this week will start
that. Alfalfa-cutting has commenced
IN the south.

Metal.
GUTHRIE, Ok, June l1.-For several
days rumors have been current that
gold had been discovered in paying
quantities on Doggy creek, some II
miles southwest from Arapahoe, G

came TO town and stated that some
very rich leads had been found; that
people were focking into the mineral
region from all points of the compass,
and that a company had been formed
and was taking the precious metal out
in vast quantities. In less than two
hours several parties were equipped
and on the road to the fields.
Messrs. Lee Wells and Alex Han
shaw returned yesterday and reported
very rich fields and that hundreds of
men were on the ground stalking off
claims; that vein running from Cobb
creek in the Caddo country to the
head of Doggy, distance of 40 miles,
and ranging from to IL miles wide,
had been discovered: that beyond ques-
ton there is gold in abundance. Messrs-
Wells and Hanshaw brought back
some specimens which have been test
ed by Mr.. Cramer, an experienced
miner and essayist, who reports the
specimens very rich with precious met
ais. The strata of gold is found on an
average of about Z feet below the sur
face. very easily gotten out. Several
mining companies are now in process
of organization and will apply for a
charter just as soon as the required
amount of capital is subscribed, which
is thought will be forthcoming by to-
day. A mining town has been laid out
and plated under the townsite law.

which such acknowledgment would be.
