One of the richest strikes reported in the Lake
Superior district in years has been made at the
Allouez. The diamond drill in commission on
the .O3o-foot level of the new shaft was pointed
eastward in a horizontal position and cut the
Kearsarge lode 227 feet from the shaft. The core
extracted disclosed the red metal in profuson
and the sludge washed out of the drillhole would
average probably Is per cent copper. The sue

velopments on adjoining lands proved the proper

Webster City, Iowa, Nov. 19.-Iowa's corn
crop is worth $12O, 900, 900. This is the esti-
mate of Director John r. Sage Of the weather
and crop service, who believes that the $1,000 900
acres of corn land in Iowa will yield 300 900, 600
bushels Forty cents bushel is the moderate
price which Mr. Sage says the corn is reasonably
I certain to bring. - ~.
:. Exaggerated reports Of the cornlcrop pros
poets being circulated, y said Mr.. Sage 'just
as exaggerated reports of suspected shortcomings
in the crop have been circulated from time to
| time in the growing period. The tendency to
eSaggerate is universal. Farmers exaggerated
newspapers exaggerate; grain men exaggerate
and crop reporters exaggerate. One Of men
reported to that conditions were very disap-
pointing He worried. The crop was fall
ing away below his expectations. What were
you counting on?' I asked him.
Thought we'd get seventy five bushels to the
| acre. he said.
| "Aren't you getting it ?''
| "No; don't think I'll get more than sixty
| fye.'
| ''Then I told him." continued Director Sage
.that he getting exactly twice the average
| corn yield in Iowa for the past fifteen years.
He had figured that his field would bring down
| the average. In fact, it is Of 1.-The first
class fields that keep the average up to the sats-
flying point it has been kept at for fifteen

will be in Pottawattanle county, as it has
