Topeka, June Sat Tecumseh the
flood sitaation is very bad. All Of the
farmers down that way have lost all
they have except the bare land on
which they lived. The island on
which the 100 acre melon farm Of
Obadiah Vaughn was located has been
entirly swept away. Vaughn and
his family escaped with their lives
but were unable to save anything in
the way Of personal property. A
number Of small houses are lodged
near Tecumseh which probably have
been washed away from North Tope-
ka. Some Of these are reported to
contain dead bodies.

its food edition tells some interesting
incidents OF the high waters. On
Thursday shortly after noon the huge
boat, The City Of Solomon, val
launched and manned by four willing
and able young men and struck fol
the bottoms on the south side Of the
river. Sullivan's family near the
Rock Island was rescued and brought
TO town. The boat then started on q
return voyage. The farms Of Lank
Blair, and Vanderbilt were sighted
| and hailed and all seemed well with
them. At the Grogger farm Mrs.
Grogger and Rosa were put int, the
boat, after the stock had been cared
for and brought to town.
At the Ramsey home all seemed all
right, although the high water had
caused Fred Ramsey and family to
seek seek shelter in the loft Of the
barn, the other two families having
being driven to the second floor Of
their home. Favorable reports as to
personal safety were heard from the
McCulloughs and the party returned
to town, arriving here about P. m.
Friday night the merchants were
busy with crews Of men putting their
goods in safety and preparing for and
emergency. About II O'Clock water
began running into the cellars at
Evans, Bright & Sch
roeder's, Sellard's, Carter's, Bakers,
Cusick's, and soon part Of the parti-
ton wall tumbled at Bannon's and
at Bright's. Evans cellar room
filled and an outlet was cut in the
east wall at Sellard's allowing the
water to food through under the
floor.
About 7 O'Clock the first resue boat
partly came in and reported all to
southeast Of town in safety but get
ting low on provisions. The water
extended at that time to the Strickler
hill, the Wescott ranch and the line
Of hills to the east. The second boat
returned from the Roggendorf neigh
borhood and reported them in safety
but in need of provisions.
Again Monday afternoon the boats
put out for the south side bottoms to
look after the welfare Of those there.

Alger Brothers, I,onanza.

Woody Alger aud brother came in
from the Great West mining camp a
few days ago aud exhibited specimen
of gold ore that was beauty. He re-
ported that he had had an assay from
the pocket that showed values to the
extent OF more than 42,0J0s to the ton.
The mine is located within half a mile
OF the Great West aud in the same
mineral belt. While sniall, it carries
splendid values throughout the vein,
while pockets of fabulous riches occur
in the main ore chute, Mining men
have visited the property, out at the
time there was little work done. Now
that some depth has been obtained sew
eral men have signitied their intention
of going to it at once The mineral
belt in which this mine is situated is
one of the richest in the country, but
depth has not yet been had on the
mines to get below the broken surface
The Great West people are preparing
to exploit their mines below the water
level and we may expsct to hear oil
something good being uncovered.

more on the same vein and took an
average sample of the vein, which they
are having tested. The vein is more
than eight feet wide and one of the
best looking properties in the new
field. They will put men to work on
the mine at once. This find has cre-
