Women i'm the Harvest Field.

Owing to the unusual condition of
crisis is on in the harvest field in many
localities in the state. Farmers are
anxious to save as much grain as pos
sible and there being scarcity of
farm hands the women have been
called from the kitchen to the field to
assist in harvesting. A farmer re-
marked the other day that it was al
most impossible to get a farm hand.
The cause of this is there is so much
work aud all are busy at good wages,
and man il the city cannot be in
duced to go into the country and do

Lead and Zinc Ore Found in the
Heart of the City.

Galena, Kas., Nov. 19.-What was
thought to have been a rich strike was
made by w. L. Patton, L. U. Carney
and Jesse Vaughn yesterday on the
Maggie Taylor ground, and by today 1t
has developed into the old-time variety
lead strike of Galena.
In fact. a portion of this ground was
mined over twenty years ago, but since
that time until recently it has been
abandoned. Great chunks of lead and
zinc are being taken out, and today new
shafts are being started on adjoining
lots on the strength of the new discov-
lot, both claiming it, and at the same
time each working for the purpose of
holding the ground. Neither will give
way for the other, and the only way to
decide the ownership will be through the
courts. The new field is almost in the
center of Galena, being located south of
Seventh street. Old-time excitement pre-
