Sundays Storm.

4 terrific wind storm swept over
some of the Southwestern and West
ern States last Sunday, doing con-
siderable damage to life and property.
At Clinton, KY, twenty negro
cabins were demolished, two negroes
being mortally wounded and many
others bruised.
At Detroit, Mich, over 1000 tele-
graph poles we're rendered useless.
The telegraph company estimates it's
total loss at $4,000.
The snow storm at Kansas City,
Mo-, was one of the severest Of the
winter. The Missouri Pacific had 8
passenger train stuck in the drift for
six hours near Jamestown Kansas.
A heavy rail-, wind and thunder
storm swept over Arkansas. At Con-
way fifteen business houses were un-
rooted and three others we're blown
down. At Pine Prairie reports say
that a tornado struck that place
wrecking everything in its path. One
boy is reported to have been killed.
On the Gulf the storm was par
ticularly severe and the seas rolled
high. The battleship Alabama was
unable to make her trial trip on
account of the unusually rough
weather.
At Maxon's Mill, Ky, three houses
filed with negroes were overturned.
Twenty stables were blown down
and many horses killed. Tobacco
barns were RACED and their contents
blown away. Three churches were
| destroyed. Loss $4,000.
The storm damaged property at
Chicago, Ill, to the extent Of S175,-
900. The streets were blockaded
with telephone, telegraph and electric
light poles and wires. Many heavy
plate glass windows were blown in
| and smashed. Business was prac
tically suspended Monday and
Chicago was isolated from the balance
of the world until the debris was
removed and the damages to rail
roads, telegraphs and telephones re-
paired.
The storm is believed to have been
more severe in Southern Wisconsin
It is considered to have been the
worst gale which has struck Chicago
since 1894
At Willis Point, four persons were
killed and i've mortally wounded
While the property loss will reach
100000.
At New Boston, in the same State
property was damaged to the amour
of $4,000 and five persons wer'
seriously, if not mortally wounded
At Blossom the damage to residence
was great. In Payne county on
man was killed and several person
were injured. The damage in rura
districts by hail and wind cannot b
estimated. The storm was first re
ported from Uvalde on the MexicaI
border.

Every Part of the United States Rich In

No section OF the United States has
been neglected In the distribution of
valuable mineral supplies. says Les
lies Weekly. Where iron ore OF one
sort is lacking another is given; where
iron and coal are denied. and such re-
gions are few in the United States.
there Is stone or clay or the precious
minerals. The mining districts OF the
east are. broadly speaking. controlled
by the general trend OF the Appala-
chan mountains. On the east side of
these mountains, from the Hudson
river to Georgia, there extends o more
or less continuous line of magnetic
iron ore deposits. This Is paralleled
by one Of low grade ores and by an
other OF copper ores. West of these
regions are found the brown hema-
titles. most valuable in Alabama, Ten
essee and Virginia. Passing to the
interior basin OF the continent, we find
the eastern and central part underlaid
by vast fields of coal The metal de-
posits appear In groups. One such
group contains the magnificent cop
per and red hematite iron ore deposits
around the head of Lake Superior.
Another group contains the lead and
zinc and red oxide Of iron of Missouri.
In the western part of the United
States the grouping of metals is most
striking, as it assumes the form of
series of irregular bands or belts ex-
tending from north to south and cor
responding to the longitudinal trend
OF the mountain systems. Passing
westward. we first note a sharply de-
fined gold belt found in New Mexico,
colorado. Wyoming and Montana.
West OF this and extending through
New Mexico. Utah and western Mon
tana, is line OF silver lodes. A Sec
ond line of silver mines stretches from
Mexico to Idaho. through Arizona and
Nebraska, while third chain skirts
the eastern slope OF the series. The
