to BE Many Centuries Old.
Pittsburg, Sept. 7.-Great interest
is manifested here over the discovery
of number of implements in mound
at McKee's Rocks, which is being ex-
cavated for scientific purposes. The
mound is believed to have been built
by the ancient mound builders and the
implements found today place the
mound ON par with those that have
been explored elsewhere. The work is
being done under the direction of
Thomas Harper, of this city. who be.
lieves that the specimens found here
are not less than 1000 years old. and
prove that they were made by the most
ancient people that inhabited this
country, Bone needles or avis were
included In the find and Mr.. Harper
says they can be partially restored.
A tomaahwk. which he regards as
not being less than 1000 yars old, was
also found. The same kind of weapons
are found on the British isles Mr.
Harper says that the weapon is similar
to the haloith, which was used for
striking. 1t is made of gneiss. He
considers that an extraordinary dis
covery. The bone implement or fiaker
Is regarded by Mr.. Harper as possessing
unusual interest. This is the imple-
ment with which primitive men, as
well as ancient people, made flint in
struments. Mr.. Harper maintains
that this last find proves that the
mound was built by mound builders.
Since this mound was opened a
month ago sixteen skeletons have been
found, many of them being of gigantic

Portland, Or. Sept 4.-From data
collected il is evident that the Oregon
hop crop will be less than so, 900 bales,
or one-half of the 1895 crop, says the
current number Of the Oregon Agricul-
turist. California and Washington
data are not definite, but the yield will
probably not exceed DO, 900 bales in the
former state, and 30, in the latter,
against $4,000 and 2S, 900 bales re-
spectively in 1895. The reduction in
Oregon has been greater in proportion
than in the other states. 1t will thus
be seen that the Pacific coast crop will
be from 100, 900 to 1000 bales. 1t
would not be surprising, after the crop
Is secured, to find the coast yield less
than 100, 900 bales, because the inferior
hops have not been contracted for, and
1t Is impossible to obtain advances for
picking money.
The increase in the yearly ~etion
OF hops in Oregon has been enormous.
The following figures for the past four
years show the marketings: 1892, as
600 bales; 1898. $1,000 bales; 1894,
/ So, 900 bales; 1895, 100, 900 bales.
/ The rapid increase was entirely un-
warranted by the condition of the mar.
ket, and its interruption this year,
when our production will be less than
10000 bales, is the penalty for our
zealousness, and for our lack of consid.

ton used better Judgment, and their
production In 1894 was less than In
1893, being 40, 900 bales. while In 1895
II was but 28, 900 bales, and this year
will be less than 10000, hence the
suffering has not been so severe in our
sister state.
California also acted promptly IL
reducing production, and from 81, SOC
bales in 1894, dropped to so, 1000 balel
in 1895, and this year probably les
than 10000.
The New York crop is variously es
timated at between so, 600 and 85, 00t
bales.
The production in all other states
will probably amount to 10, 900 bales
Using the above figures we summar
ize as follows: Oregon, $4,000 bales
Washington. 30, 900 bales; California,
4o,0 bales; New York, So. 900 bales
other states, $4,000 bales; total, 2l0,.
