Government Report

Washington, June 1.-The weather
bureau announced last night that all
records for low and mean tempera-
ture were broken throughout the
country during the last two months,
and made the following forecast:
Temperature will continue compar
ative low Saturday and Sunday over
the entire eastern portion of the
country, and will change but little
in the extreme west From present
indictions the weather will turn
warmer by Monday and after that
will have a real summer tempera-
ture.
The month just ended was remark
able as being the second successive
month of abnormally low tempera-
lures over the middle and northern
districts east of the Rocky Mountains
except along the immediate Atlantic
coast.
The record, combined with that of
April, furnished a mean temperature
lower by several degrees than the
combined mean temperatures of the
same two months in any previous
year of which there is record.
The same general conditions pre-
vailed in a greater or less degree
from the middle Atlantic states and
lower lake region westward through
the great corn and wheat districts
and were especially marked in the
upper Mississippi valley. In the
vicinity of st. Paul, Mimi. the pre-
liminary calculation from date not
entirely complete, indicates mean
temperature Of 46 degrees, y de-
grees below the normal temperature
and lower than the previous low
record of May, 1888.

HOMESTAKE MINE
NOW FLOODED
Fire Out and Work of Emptying
Mine Begun

Lead, June 1.-The flooding of the
Homestake mine has been satisfacto-
rily completed, and work has once
more been resumed at this great
mine. Yesterday afternoon 240
stamps began dropping at the Ami
Gus mill in this city, and yesterday
morning the 100 stamps at the De-
Smet mill in Central commenced
pounding away on ore from the open
cut. The thrush of water has been
shut off and soon after noon yester-
day an eight inch valve and three
two inch valves were opened on the
north end of the 800 foot level, and
the water commenced to pour out of
the north end tunnel into Deadwood
creek. Three valves were also open
ed on the south end and the water
is now flowing into Whitewood
through the Savage tunnel. AS soon
as the water is below the 300 foot
level these natural channels for en-
plying will be useless and the water
will have to be hoisted by means of
skips. The skips will be put to
work today or tomorrow and the
other mill will begin operations as
soon as there is sufficient ore supply
About 200 men are at work and this
force will be increased as rapidly as
room can be made for the men. 1t
will not be long until the mine and
mills are once more running at their
full capacity.

FLOODED RIVER
DESTROYS STOCK
Heavs Rains Cause Flood on the
Cheyenne River

Pierre, June 3.-Reports coming
in from along Cheyenne river indi-
cate all high water records along the
stream to have been beaten in the
flood few days ago. At Leslie, the
store of Enthine and Ed Squirting
were both flooded, and the proprie-
tors compelled to take to the hills.
At Lindsay, most of the buildings
were flooded, the water coming to
the caves of some of the houses.
The Indian houses along the north
side of the stream were flooded and
in some instances washed away.
There is no record of loss of life as
the high stage of water occurred in
daylight hours. There must have
been a heavy loss of live stock, as the
drift which came down the Missouri
from the Cheyenne brought large
number of carcasses of drowned cat
tie, showing that some one had lost
heavily in that manner.
