Georgia will have the average
crop of watermelops this year.
that is, SO far as the size Of the
crop is concerned--while, as to
quality, it is expected that they
will be ahead Of the average. The
reports received at the offices Of
the plant system in this city show
that there are 10000 acres planted
along the lines of that road in
Georgia, all in the southwestern
section Of the state. The melons
average about a car to two acres,
which means that Georgia will
.yi"ld this year about 5000 cars.

London, Aug 26.-Inquiries among
prominent members of the British 81
metallic League elected the informal
ton that Mr.. Balfour's expressed dis
approval of promoting an international
monetary conference at the present
time Is in accord with their sentiments.
They say there are many preliminary
points to be settled before the confer
ence can be summoned with any hope
Of fruitful results. These points are al
ready forming the subject of negotia-
ton between Lord Salisbury and the
German government, and the hope of
bimetallists Is that before the project
for a conference is laid before other
powers, England, Germany and the
United States may have agreed upon
action within certain lines. The Sails
bury government not only has an in
centive to make a strenuous attempt to
deal with the silver question, furnished
by the fact that nine ministers neariy
half Of the cabine0 are bimetallists, but
Tory agents In Lancashire. where the
Tories made their greatest successes
in the general election, write that the
advocacy Of bimetallism mainly con-
tributed to secure those successes. b.
metallic leaders believe some consider
able time will elapse before anything
isnnIte. Issues. from Lord sallsburys
are confident that an international con-
ference, attended with some measure
Of success, Is certain before the close of
the present cabinets tenure of office.

COAL IN ALASKA.

Many shrewd people in Alaska are
beginning to think there would be more
money tust now In the coal resources
n the country than in the much-talked
about gold mines, says the New York
sun. The gold mines do not appear to
oe panning out as well Ately-that IL
in comparison with the cost of the whole
process of getting to the mines and liv-
ing there while getting out the gold.
The business seems to have been some
what overboomed. But several experts
who have lately been prospecting the
coal resources Of the coast region believe
coal-petting could be made Immediately
profitable.
On the east shore of Cooks Inlet there
Is a big vein of coal fully five feet thick.
entirely exposed at low tide. All that
is necessary to get the coal is to take d
crowbar and pry 1t out in as big blocks
as desired. A recent investigation OF
this deposit showed that twenty feet
below the first vein Is another vein six
feet thick, and three other veins were
found in the immediate neighborhood.
All the veins are horizontal and extend
for miles along the shore. Considerable
quantities OF this coal have been used
by the steamship Crehalis, which runs
between Juneau and Cooks Inlet. and
the chief engineer says it has better
steaming qualities than the British Co
lumbian coal, and Is in many respects
better than any other coal procurable OIL
the Pacific coast. 1t does not clinker at
all.
Some San Francisco people sent big
bark, with scow and u party Of miners
to this place last winter, and the bark
was loaded with the coal at very little
cost, and the cargo brought the specula-
tors considerable profit. One miner
has already squatted on 600 acres Of the
property and others are following his
example.
