NORTHWEST WILL YIELD
AM AVERAGE WHEAT CROP
Reports From Northern Pacific Agents Show That Vegetation
Has Greatly Improved During the Past Month.

Northwestern crops will yield an
average harvest this year, according
to the Northern Pacific's weekly re-
port which was issued yesterday. The
estimate, based upon the actual yield
after threshing in other localities is
far greater than was anticipated a few
weeks ago.
While without question the crop will
be shorter than in some of the pre-
vious years, when bumper harvests
were secured, the yield will be large.
Wheat will run on the average about
fifteen bushels to the acre, although
in many sections the yield will exceed
this amount by three to five bushels.
In a few places farmers have threshed
out as high as twenty-five bushels to
the acre. While the yield will only. be
an average one, the grade of all grains
this year is higher than in years when
the harvest was heavier.
Oats, barley and fax are a good
crop. Oats and barley run from thirty
to sixty bushels to the acre and are
of an excellent grade.
From all the divisions of the North
ern Pacific road the crops have i'm
proved during the past week, according
to the report. While in some sections
the crop conditions are far from what
was desired, the general condition of
grain in the Northwest is good. Pota-
toes and hay were also good yields.
Perhaps the gloomiest news received

DIGS IN HIS GARDEN
AND FINDS iron ORE
Austrian Farmer Near Tower
UGcovers Probably Five
Million Tons.
SneeiaI TO The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 24.-While
digging in his garden on lands belong
ing to the Minnesota Iron company,
an Austrian farmer living in the out
skirts of Soudan, six miles from Tow
er, came across an immense body of soft
ere, the first ever found in that To-
cality. Explorations in the vicinity
have disclosed a bed of ore three hum
dred feet wide and several hundred
feet long and of unknown depth.
Diamond drills will be secured and
it is expected that at least five million
tons of metal will be disclosed. Thou
sands of dollars have been expended in
the neighborhood Of Soudan in search
of new mines and it was thought that
the district had been thoroughly COW
cred with the drills.
The point where the garden is To-
Gated is at the edge of narrow
swamp. Subsequent investigation has
demonstrated that the ore extends on
both sides of the swamp and possibly
under it. Samples of the ore were
taken out and sent to Ely for assay.
and it is thought it will show that the
ore is of exceptionally high grade.
