The Western Wheat Crop.

That the winter wheat sowa last fall under
the most favorable conditions, says the Chi
cage Times Herald, has been seriously dam-
aged by the. peculiar weather conditions
which have prevailed is shown by reports
from all The whea! producing States. The
estimates as 10 the damage vary in marked
degree. Soae States reporting almost a total
loss, while others report that the crop viii he
of fair size, but of poor quality. Ohio,
Judging from the reports. appears 10 have
suffered less than ether States, while The CON
ditions in Illinois are uGtayorable, to say the
least Favorable weather from now ON may
change all this, however Apprehension
rather than serious damage has been caused
ca the Pacific coast by lack OF moisture but
it is believed that at the proper time the West
will come forward with her regulation crops.

velopment work on some claims on

Everything 80 far goes to prove
1is. The Indications point to perma-

I'll se that foretell richer things
further in. Three hundred and sixty
dollars to the ton in refractory ore e
the best one 80 far secured, buts propo-
sit0i0n that will give this return here
is better than one giving q thousand In
many locations. Chutes two miles
long carry the ore to tide water. This
Is an advantage seldom found In min

done now, with little development
work to test their value. During the

be DONE" continued the prospector,
