LOST MINE IS FOUND
ONCE FAMOUS "NINETY.NINE "
MINE RELOCATED.
Is in a Cove in the Heart OF the
Shawangunk Mountains in Ul'
ster County, New York.

NEW YORK. Nov, 25,-The Tribune
prints the following:
After being lost for rs years the
Ninety Nine" silver mine. once famohs
through the whole Catsl1ill range, has
been found again. At least that is the
belief Of J. o. Poole, mining expert,
who Is said to live in Trenton, n. ].
He has discovered cave in the heart
OF the ShawansGnk Mountains, not far
from Ellenville, Uuster county, n y,
which exposes a wide vein Of peculiar
ore. Numerous assays show heavy
value in silver, lead and other miner
ais. Every effort has been made to
keep the discovery a secret until min
eral rights to the surrounding mining
could be purchased.
Poole and the New Jersey men VINO
are backing him are said to have Sc
cured such rights on more than 5000
acres and are preparing to start active
mining operations. The story of the ac-
cidental discovery Of the mine was
brought to this city from Kingston.

CROP SUMMARY.
UnfavOrabIe Conditions Con-
tinue Over a Large Area.

Washington, Sept 2s-The weather
bureaus general summary OF crop con-
ditions is as follows:
While the weather conditions Of the
week ending September 2, 1901, have
been generally favorable in a majority
o. districts, heavy rains, in some places
excessive, have injured crops and re-
tarded work in portions OF the south
Atlantic and Gulf states, and dry, hot
weather has been unfavora BILE in the
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys
and on the north Pacific coast Extreme
heat and drought in localities OF Okla
homa and Texas have also been very
detrimental TO crops Cool weather has
retarded the maturing and drying Of
fruit IN California and light frosts oc-
Cured in Nevada.
Late corn continues to show improve
ment. although injured BY drought and
heat In portions of Kansas: has suffer-
ed rather decline in Missouri and needs
rain in Nebraska. In Iowa corn is ma
turing rapidly. and the cutting Of early
planted IS general In all sections OF this
state, and Missouri. and the more
northerly sections. ana is progressing
rapidly IN Kansas Further improve
ment in late corn is reported from the
Ohio valley, but it has suffered injury
by floods on lowlands in Tennessee Re
ports indicate that the bulk Of the late
corn viii be safe from injury from frost
by September Is to 20. but that some
very late fields will require until Oc-
tober / to fully mature the crop.
Spring wheat threshing continues
With generally satisfactory yields, eX-
cept in North Dakota, where they are
light and Of poor quality, the berry be-
ing shrunken and bleached.
Another generally unfavorable week
for cotton. continued complaints of rust
and shedding are received from the
greater portion of the eastern and cen
tral sections of the cotton belt. while
Arkansas and Oklahoma report injury
from premature opening. In Texas the
early cotton continues to open and is
being rapidly picked, but the late crop
is greatly deteriOrated and in a critical
state, with complaints OF rust and she'd
ding. Picking. while retarded in Georgia
in nearly all sections and with favor
able weather viii soon be general.
Very favorab BILE reports concerning to-
bacco are received from all sections ex-
cept Maryland, where it is not curing
satisfactorily, and Virginia, where the
yield is variable. Cutting is general and
the bulk Of the crop is in shed in Wis
cOnsin-
The condition OF apples still coQtinues
unpromising in nearly all sections
Some Improvement is reported from
Kansas and fair to good crops are in
dicated in portions of Arkansas, Hi
nois, Indiana and West Virginia, else
where apples are scarce and generally
of poor quality
Soil conditions are favorable for
plowing and seeding which are improv-
ing and usually advanced in all dis
tricts except in Missouri, Nebraska and
Oklahoma where the work mas been re-
tarded by drought, and in portions Of
Virginia, where it was interfered by
wet weather.
