DAMAGE DONE BY HAILSTORM
GRAIN IN NORTH DAKOTA AND
MINNESOTA DESTROYED.
In Former State, Over 100000 Acres
Laid Waste-Probably 100000
Bushels Lost.

Fargo. n. D.. Aug. IA severe hail
storm swept across the northern part
of Cass and southern part of Trail
counties today. Sixty thousand acres
of ripe grain was destroyed. \ small
percentage in the storm area had been
harvested. 1t is reported that 10000
acres were destroyed in Eddy county.
Passing to the east through Norman
county thousands of acres of grain
were damaged by the storm.
Details of the storm are very difficult
to secure. At Gardiner. in this county.
the path of the storm was ten to
twelve miles wide The loss is from
40 TO so per cent in that area. The
length of the storm in this state was
about ten miles before it passed into
Minnesota. 4 telegram from Halsted,
Mimi. states that the storm was about
ten miles wide there and that the crop
is a total loss. At Grandin from 20 to
100 per cent of the crOy was destroyed.
The storm extended as far north as
Kelso. in Trail county, and hail was
heavier from there north. The big
Grandin farm of 1900 acres. in Trail
county. was struck and the crop is to-
tally destroyed. Much damage was
done by a hard wind and rain in addi-
ton TO hail.
The acreage lost may be 100000 in
North Dakota. Very conservative esti-
mates at 1870 p. m. would make 30 per
cent loss on $4,000 acres in Cass and
Trail counties. with - to 100 per cent
loss on 10000 acres in Eddy county.
Minnesota losses in the valley seem
equally heavy

strike yet According to statements
coming from Manager Stallings, who
has assumed much reticence in the last
fortyeight hours. the vein has not been
fully determined yet. and the width of
the ore body accurately made known.
Mr.. StallingS said to your correspond
ent that his people had expressed much
regret that so much had been said about
the strike, and he had been advised to
say nothing further in the premises at
present. However, ii is apparent what
their policy and course of development
will be-which is conceded TO be pru-
dent and judicious one. All operations
on the old diggings. the Independent.
have ceased Development there served
the purpose of locating the presence of
ore, and enabled the management to
determine all the necessary details for
exploiting in the TeSora. For a more
comprehensive knowledge of the situa-
ton a brief statement is given. The
Independent. one of the company's
holdings which lies about 500 feet north
of the Tesora shaft, is an old digging
sunk on the vein to a depth of $50 feet.
Last fall. when it was owned and work
ed by John Moore, small disclosure
of copper ore was made at a depth OF
$50 feet, and at $50 feet it was apparent
that the owner had more than an ordi-
nary prospect. At this depth such q
flow of water was enc nuntered as TO
render machinery essential. Then the
Tesora company bought the Independ-
ent, and during the progress of sinking
in the vertical work shaft. the indie
pendent has been closed. and. in the
vernacular of the prospector, 'drownd-
ed out When the TesoTa shaft had
reached the go point the management
decided to learn if they would be war
ranted in prosecuting to the vein.
They pumped out the Inder enGent and
resumed work. Almost Immediately an
eighteen-inch streak of extremely fine
copper ore was uncovered, which SEEM
ed to widen in the floor. Some ten or
twelve tons were cut and hoisted. Then
the crosS-cut was run in the TeSora
and the vein encountered in twelve
feet-which revealed an ore body more
than three feet wide in places. Now
that the company has the presence and
continuity of the ore disclosed or deter

IT WILL BE REJECTED.
Offer of the Chicago Bishop Will Not
Be Considered at East ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Aug. 10.-The telegram
from Chicago stating that Bishop Koz-
lowski of the Polish Catholic church, an
independent Catholic organization, had
offered to receive the communicated
members of st. Patrick's church OF East
st. Louis into his diocese. was shown
to a number of prominent officers of
the latter church. 1t was out of the
question, they declared. for them to ac-
cept any such proposition.
DR.. John Stack, a member of the COM
mittee having the affairs of st. Pat
ricl<s church in charge during the
present crisis. said they were in the
fight to stay. and could not afford to
consider such an offer as that of
Bishop KOZlowski. He said the men,
bers considered themselves as good
Catholics as ever. declaring that the
decree of communication amounted
TO nothing. They were fighting for a
principle-the recognition of their right
to have an Irish priest for rector-ard
expected TO win, DR.. Stack declared.
Trustees Doyle and McDonough, who
were also shown the Chicago dispatch,
expressed practically the same views.

ORE IN GARNET.
Seam of Lead Uncovered-Rabbit's
Foot Resumes Sinking.
Especial Correspondence1

Silver City. Aug. 9.-R. G. Smith of
the Bank of the Republic, Salt Lake.
and one of the principal stockholders
in the Garnet Mining company. has
been a visitor TO Tintic for some days,
returning home this morning. Mr..
Smith fortunately was present when,
what appears 20 be a valuable strike.
in the Mary claim of the company was
made. The showing at present consists
of small seam of lead ore coming into
the tunnel in croSs-country way, cut
ting in an easterly direction. Recently
the company abandoned their incline
workings on the Guardian claim. and
directed their attention to the Mary
renewing work in a tunnel, commencing
from the Dragon Hollow side, and fol-
lowing the course of the Sunbeam vein.
They have had more or less of a cop
per showing for two months, the min
eral being good enough to ship. The
appearance of the new mineral-bearins
vein may mean much TO the company,
and with a week or ten days develop
ment work will demonstrate the char
acter and value of the new discovery.
The Rabbits Foot folks have lost
some time in replacing the first hoist
with a larger and more powerful one.
and again have resumed sinking. They
are at a depth of 3S5 feet in the work
shaft and at the 400 they will cross-cut
and provide stopping facilities for
the mineral chute exposed and blocked
out on the $50, from which the last car
of mineral was shipped. 1t is Super
intendent McGhan's inteltion to get on
to the ore bodies in the 80 and $50
levels the latter part of this week and
provide for another shipment.

Judge Rivers Returns and Reports
On Its Magnitude

Judge Henry Rives, one of the direct

Since opening the vein on Monday,
Judge Rives says it has been cross-cut
and stripped for a distance of thirty
feet, and three eight-hour shifts are
now at work drifting alongside the vein
in both directions.
Nothing has been exaggerated re-
garding the strike" said the judge.
IN fact, the values of the ores have

the crop on nearly 80. goo acres of land
in the state. Farmers who were busily
engaged this morning were driven to
their barns for shelter. and afterwards
found it unnecessary to take the bind
ers back to the fields as the grain had
been harvested by hail in a few brief
moments.
Just before IL o'clock the storm
struck the northern part of Cass and
southern part of Trail counties. In adj

Jack Quinn, VINO, with his brother,
has a lease on the upper levels of the
Daily mine, is in town marketing an
other shipment. The Quinn brothers
employ a force OF eight men. and
though their operations are confined to
cleaning out the hooks and channies of
the oldest workings in the mine, they
are being well rewarded
Mr.. Quinn said yesterday that he I'M
derstood Fred Flindt was doing well
at the Apex, and turning out something
like six tons of high-grade concentrates
every day. The mine. he was informed,
was looking fine, but the boys were
somewhat handicapped, owing to poor
ventilation, a difficulty they hoped soon
to overcome.
Speaking of the Massachusetts strike,
Mr.. Quinn said it was still the talk of
the town, and everybody believed it
was going to prove one of the biggest
finds the camp had experienced for a
long time.

level. There is already a drift of 800
feet in the direction of the new strike
ana this will be pushed on as soon as
the water can be got rid of, which will
be in a day or two. 1t is a magnificent
strike and means more for Park City

RED WING EXAMINED.
A Party of Salt Lakers Visit That
Bingham Bonanza.

The Red Wing mine at Bingham was
visited yesterday by a party of Salt
Lakers consisting of Professor w. II.
Tibbals, l.. H. Curtis and Ed McCar-
rick. Professor Tibbals stated last
evening that the big ore chute is get
ting larger and better as development
progresses. Another car of concen-
trates Will be loaded today and sent
down to the local shelters. The mill is
running along satisfactorily, and with
in the near future the capacity is TO be
materially increased.
The company's stock has sold lately
above 80 cents a share, and if future de-
Nelopments prove as satisfactory as
they have during the past few months
1t is judged by persons who are in po-
sition to know that it is likely TO sell
at several times that amount before
many months pass by
Mr.. Tibbsls and party also visited
the workings of the Puritan mine
where there is a very good showing
of copper ore.
