Corn is not, over one half crop, on
account of dry weather and chineh
bugs, and is just now in good eondi-
ton for cutting and much of the crop
is being put into the shock. Oats and
fax are very light crops. Prairie
hay, some meadows yield ton per
acre, many less; clover hay fair; al
faIfa not q large acreage but yield
good, English blue grass good, native
pasture is not first class due to the
dry weather in August, but has not
failed: stubble ground good, no tame
pasture to speak of. Millett, early,
good, but late very unpromising now.
Apples are below the average crop.
Peaches abundant, but small. Plumbs
good crop and flavor fine. Grapes
started out for a most prolific crop
but ripened a crop of understood
fruit. Irish potatoes, the earl y crop
very good and free from scaO, late
potatoes a failure, sweet potatoes late
but promise a fair crop if the latter
part of season is not too dry. Garden
vegetables light crop.

Editor REGISTER: Since your re-
quest appeared for a crop report we
have had but little time to gather in
formation. so cannot speak Intelligent
Iy concerning all kinds of crops, but
es we had previously made some IN
curry along this line weare reasonably
informed on some kinds OF crops.
The flax yield was from two to eight
bushels to the acre, averaging pro-
babIy six bushels. The chinch bugs
caused some of the oats on prairie
land to be total failure while some
fields went over 80 bushels per acre
and on bottom land the yield was
generally fair, going as high as 40
bushels, average % or 80 bushels.
The drouth kept corn on thin land
from caring which will materially
effect the average yield. Some bottom
fields of corn are estimated at 81
bushels. but we do not believe the
average will be more than half that
much: wheat was good, at least one
field has been reported at % bushels
per acre; peaches are abundant out OF
a DOOR quality; grapes are eXcellent
where the vines are cultivated. and
allowed to grow in thick punches sc
that the foliage will protect the fruit;
apples are not a perfect crop, although
many orchards are well loaded; pota-
toes that were planted late are q
failure, but those who planted early
on good soil have yield of about l5l
bushels per acre; the hay crop OF al
kinds was cut short at least one-thlro
by the drouth, but as far IS home re
ouirements are concerned this de
ficency will be largely replaced by thu
unusual amount of fodder that wa
cut: garden "stuff' made but shOr
growth and gave very unsatisfactory
returns. G.. L. ARNOLD.

The Chieftain is rejoiced to see an
elegantly printed catalogue from
Davis & Mcdaniel, of Nepesta, being
distributed, describing their regis
tered Jersey cattle, and is more than
willing to give them this free puff
for the sake ef assisting in inducing
the farmers of the Arkansas valley to
improve the quality of their life stock.
The same amount of alfalfa and corn
devoured by cheap, unstable, wild
and Improbable animal will support
one of these beautiful Jerseys, which
will give its weight in rich milk in a
little time, and is gentle, attractive,
profitable and always commands a
high price A fine blooded sheep
eats no more fodder than scrawny,
tough and short wooled sheep.
In this ard country especially,
where everything on farm demands
unremitting attention and care, the
best profit is to be expected from the
best trees, the best vegetables, the
best small fruits and the best animals.
a poor tree is not worth watering
and should be cut down. No farm
ing of the old slipshot variety yields
any satisfactory return. The Pueblo

Japan has announced her change
from a silver to gold standard
Our readers will remember that dur
ing the last campaign tho Register
printed at the head of its columns a
list showing the gold standard and
silver standard countries, and Japan
was the only half way civilized nation
on a silver basis. This change is a
sad blow to silverites because it leaves
their hobby as the cause OF barbarism.

During the campaign last fall when

Japan unless we adopt the silver
standard. Japan has now admitted
that she cannot hope to comp te with
us except on gold basis. This is a
fact which smashes assertions and
makes them ridiculous

Beaver Creek Mines.

Times, Coalville, Utah: J. H. Sailing
came down from the Beaver creek mines
Tuesday evening. He reports the snow
to be about five feet deep in that
neigh borhood, and had to use snow
shoes on a portion of the route. He
says the prospects are looking as good
as he expected, and that he is satisfied
with the outlook. He denies. however,
in the strongest terms, the wildcat
reports that have appeared in the Salt
Lake papers with regard to fabulous
assays received from the properties.
AS a matter of fact, only one assay has
been made this winter, and that was
lead. 1906 per cent, and 80 ounces sill
yer.
Mr. Sailing thinks the truth is good
enough about this property. and does
not know from whom these fictitious
reports have come, and further, does
not approve of them.
Mr.. Sailing is a miner, and good
one, and it is not part of his purpose TO
deceive anyone with regard to proper
ties in which he is interested. He also
realizes that these ''fishy" reports are a
detriment instead of a benefit to good
property, and will try to stop their
circulation.
The shipment of ore referred to some
time ago consists of about 100 pounds,
which was sent to a friend in Salt
Lake.

Mining Notes and Personals.


An assay office is to be established
| at Vernal.
Fred Walker, of the Bank of Com
merce, returned yesterday from visit
to Bingham. where. in Markham gulch,
he has interest in valuable mining
propositions.
Times, Albion, Ida: K. L. Perky is
in this city from Albion. He states that
the mining outlook there is very prom
Using. John Beck, he states, has de-
termined to put in a smelter for the
reduction of the product of the proper
ties.
The Silver City Star is the name of
newsv paper that has been estab-
lished at Silver City, Tintic district,
with Fred Nelson as editor. The Star
has an excellent location, and with
Nelson on the tripod it is sure to be a
successful venture.
Statesman, Boise, Ida: The Mining
Exchange yesterday received two
samples from the Iowa mine, weighing
about 30 pounds each; also samples
from the Ida May, the Gold Eagle and
the May Queen, weighing 70 pounds
each. a portion of this ore will be
immediately shipped to Denver for
treatment by the cyanide process.
Vernal Express: More teams started
for Douglas Mountain this week. 1t
looks as iftthe Douglas Mountain min
ing camp had come to stay, and we
hope it has, as it will benefit the peo-
pie of this section a great deal in more
ways than one, by giving a market for
their produce and by stimulating the
search for precious minerals nearer
home, as these mines are on the same
mineral belt as the Brush creek mines.
Extensive developments will be in
augurated at the Poorman very soon.
1t has been known for some time past
that the management had encountered
a pretty nice body of ore in the lower
workings. This ore has been sunk on
for a depth of over 80 feet, and the
outlook is so encouraging that a hoist
has been ordered for the mine. 1t will
be a gasoline hoist, and will be located
in the Belle Peck tunnel. The station
has been cut out ready for the engine.
Avalanche. Silver City. Ida.
Roundup, Randolph, Utah: Mr.. NJ.
W. Johnson, mining expert from Salt
Lake City, gave us pleasant call on
Tuesday. The gentleman was looking
over the mining field here in the in
terest of the Salt Lake Mining and
Improvement association, of which he
is = member. He examined specimens
from the claims in Old canyon and said
on to Garden City Wednesday morning
to look over the field there. Mr.. john
son says he is going to come up here
again when the snow is off the ground.
then he will be better able to judge
what the claims look like.
Miner, Butte, Mon: On the Big Bo-
nanza, a silver property near Walker
Vile under lease to Rosenthal and
Wilson. Pinch vein has been cut at
a depth of 100 feet that assays 125
ounces to the ton in silver A station
is being cut at the 10 level and the
leasers will at once take out and ship
to the smelters. In a case like this
where rich ore is found so near the
surface silver mining can be carried
on at a profit The ore carries a very
little gold, but its main value is in
silver A small hoist is being put up
and the work of taking out ore will be
commenced in a few days.

TRAIL CREEK MINES.
Heavy Output OF the Mines of the
Kootenai Region.

The Miner of Rossland. British
Columbia, contains the following re-
garding the mines of that region:
The War Eagle has now only ten
men stopping out and sorting ore. and
these men are averaging 2o0 tons a
week. In two months time. however,
when a portion of the development
work undertaken is completed, ii is be-
lieved that shipments will be made as
large as those of the LIE Roi.
On. this development work there are
now 40 miners employed, with 20 en-
gineers, blacksmiths, and others, and
the progress is very rapid. Since they
started on the lower cross-cut from the
No. tunnel, about q month ago, they
have driven 125 feet. 1t is S25 feet from
the face Of the cross-cut to the shaft.
which is now down lis feet. 1t will be
carried down to the 250-foot level, and
the present hosting machinery is capa-
BILE of working to the foot level.
To complete the whole of the de-
velopment work blocked out will prob
ably take four months, but meanwhile
an increase of the force working on
ore will be made from time TO time,
and the shipments increased. There
need, therefore, be no unedsiness as to
the probabilities of regular dividends.
The mine has now paid $751;, 900 in divi-
dends. beside the cost of the extensive
development of the mine.
In comparing the Rossland ores with
those of the SLOGAN it is always pointed
out against the former that it is a very
hard rock 20 deal with. 1t is ques-
ton however. if the cost of mining is
not quite as low on the War Eagle as
