A white frost this morning.

VIM. Whitworth, Geo. Smith and
Joe. Mathews of Arcadia, have been
prospecting for lead for several weeks
Arcadia. belonging to Geo. II. Russell.
The shaft is now quite deep and the
prospectors are said to be much en-
couraged at the outlook.
There seems to be a diversity of
opinion as to the damage done the
fruit by the frosts of the past week.
Some maintain a total destruction while
others insist there is no damage to
speak of. IL is probable though. that
unless we have later frosts, there is
still good prospect for fruit.
