noon. poled up the river to Is miles
above PelIy river and there bought q
horse and came in over the supposed
Dalton trail, making the trip in &c days
to Haines Mission, getting there on
Sunday. They passed the Thorp party
on the summit With cattle, most of the
party being discouraged and wanting
to turn back. Brown and Clark told
them they had gone through 100 miles
Of snow. where no food could be got
for their stock. and it would be utterly
impossible to get their stock through
alive. Thorp had already lost Is pack
horses on the trail, and part Of his orig
inal party had turned back two days
before, but he was stubborn and would
not consent to turn back himself.

But he got frozen in at the mouth of

RAIN SOAES THE PAhCHED BELT
END OF A DROUGHT NEVER
EQUALLED IN AMERICA.
Crops Destroyed and Woodlands
Afre Rendered Every Moment
One of Danger to Cities.

Chicago, Oct. H.-Rain is falling gem
orally today throughout the paTchsd
belt of the western states and the long
disastrous drought has at last been
broken, Reports from Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas and Minnesota show quite
general rains are still falling with in
dications of continuing during the next
a hours The rain in Nebraska is the
first of any consequence that has fallen
in that state for six weeks, While
Kansas is receiving her first wetting
for two months. According to the
weather bureau, an unusually extensive
area of low barometerr extends from
the Rocky Mountains eastward over
the Mississippi and Ohio valleys and
the lake region. Within that AREA
since Saturday morning general show
ers have fallen. The heaviest rain fail
reported is at Wichita, Kan, where
2.SS inches were registered.
The temperature is above the normal
in nearly all sections except the south
west.
The drought just broken has, for
severity and wide area of country af-
fected. never been equalled in this
country Crops have baen destroyed,
fires have leaped up as if from spon-
taneous combustion in fields and wood
land and every moment of the time
since the middle of August has been
crowded with danger to cities.
Farmers have been hauling water for
their dtock-even buying the fluid in
many sections of the country. Many
small towns throughout the country
have suffered severely from fire.
Conservative estimates place the re-
duction in acreage of winter wheat at
20 per cent. Thousands of acres
throughout the affected districts have
not even been plowed, the ground be-
ing in such condition as to render
farm work next to possible. The pas
lures which have been dried up for
weeks will be available once more.
Weather bureau officials said this
afternoon that indications are for a.
continuance of the rain fail for IS
hours more.

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE Times-Herald

showing an enormous increase in the
output for 1897 on the subject the
Times Herald says: Gold production in
the United States has increased with
marvellous rapidity during the current
year. The craze of the Klondike river
regions should not obscure the great
facts as they exist. Klondike's total
yield for 1897 seems. roughly, TO be
about $4,000 600 That is a comfortable
sum, but il is q mere nothing when
compared with the wonderful output
Of the yellow metal in the United
States.
The Times Herald, roughly estimat-
ing the total output for 1897, of Cali
fornia, Colorado, the Black Hills, Ari-
IONA. Montana, Idaho and Oregon.
places the figures at $1,000, 600, and
says:
Washington, wyoming, New Mexico

mously increased.
