Increase of Gold output-Decrease of
Silver

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-The stat
istician of the United States Mint in this
city has just forwarded to the Director
of the Mint at Washington the annual
report on the gold and silver production
of California, which covers the yield of
1896. According to returns received at
the mint, the gold yield of this State
last year was $17, ISL, ,562.70, which is an
increase over 1895 of $1,S47, ,24501. The
yield of silver was 1922 ,436 60, decreased
production of the year of $177, 1853. 10. The
total gold and silver product of the State
for the year was $17, ,6O4, ,O26.30, which is
a total increase over the previous year
of 81, ,669, 1881. This Is considered a very
satisfactory showing. The leading coun-
ty in bullion production for 1S96,as in 1895,
was Nevada. 1t has also the distinction
of having made the largest ipcrease-
$500, 12476. Second in rank is Placer
county, which, however. made an in
crease of only $76627.23 Calaveras is
third, with a decrease of $171, ,094. 30

FIRST FRUITS
Vacaville Sends East Four Boxes of
Cherries

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-C. e.
Smurr, general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific Railway company, is
in receipt of advices from the east which
indicate that there will be good market
for California green fruits this season.
According to Mr.. Smurr's information
frosts have destroyed 80 per cent of the
Georgia peach and berry crop, so per
cent of the Delaware crop and about
two-thirds of the Maryland crop.
Indications point to big fruit harvest
in California this year and if the de-
struction of the eastern fruit crop is as
great as stated, California growers may
expect one of the most profitable seasons
in many years.
The Southern Pacific company shipped
1000 loaded cars of decduous fruits to
the eastern markets last year and Mr..
Smurr says he hopes to see just twice
that amount move this year. Last years
crop was below the average. The big
gest year thus far in the matter of green
fruit shipments to the east was 1894, the
year of the big railroad strike, when $500
carloads were handled.
The first shipment of fresh fruit of the
present season was dispa tched east to-
day. 1t consisted of four boxes of cher
ries from Vacaville.

KEOKUK, Iowa, April 2S.-The Gre

age is already done and hundreds of
farmers are ruined and have saved moth

came so UNEXPECTEDLY that it was rush

anything. The situation in the sub

thousand acree of fine land are sub

been reported as result Of the break.
The situation on the Missouri side is

GREENVILLE, Miss, April 2S.-This

reached its height the river at Cairo
went below the danger line. But it will
be at least two weeks before the water
falls al Helena to any great extent ow
ing to the outpour from the st. Francis

be a long and weary wait before the
water leaves the overfiowed lands and

MORE WATER COMING
INDEPENDENCE, Kan, April 2S.-
The rivers of Southeastern Kansas and
Southwestern Missouri, which generally
flow into the Arkansas river, threaten
soon to send an enormous volume of
water into the already overcharged
southern streams. The heavy rains of
the past week have caused all streams
to rise with surprising rapidity. The
Verdigris river at this point has risen
twenty-five feet within the past twenty
four hours and tonight is still rising at
the rate of five or six inches an hour.
This immense volume of water, added to
the floods in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, which also empty into the Arkan-
lsas, threaten to cause an unprecedented
rise in that stream.
