one inch and twenty-one hum
dredths OF rainfall in less than thirty
minutes, Is almost a record for this
vicinity. And that is what Jupiter
pluvis did shortly after o'clock

with terrible violence
1t was by all means the heaviest
rain fall and most violent storm that
has passed over Marion county In
several months. People returning to

were caught in their progress and
driven to shelter. For about twenty
five minutes, the rain fell in torrents.
the lightning played havoc with the
telephone system and the thunder
was deafening in volume. The sew
ers were filed to overtlowing and
Marion's unsanitary streets were
swept clean for the first time in sew
eral weeks.
SO violent was the storm at Its
early periods that telephone service
was almost entirely cut OFF. The
lightning playing on the wires rem
dered it dangerous TO use the instru-
ment of communication and business
was almost entirely suspended.
The rivers throughout the county
were swollen in the short period and
considerable damage was caused 70
farm owners. After the most violent
period of the storm had subsided, a
quiet and steady rain fall continued
throughout the afternoon
Early Thursday morning another
storm passed over the city. For a
period of about fifteen minutes there
was heavy hail fall which was fol-
lowed by a downpour OF rain.

Spokane Letter

Spokane, Wash, April 29--Placer
miners operating on the old channels
in northern and central ldano. south
ern Oregon, northern California and
other parts of the Pacific slope Will
make a cleanup OF from S4,5OO,OOO 10
Sc 600 600 in gold this season, thus
demonstrating that the placer ground
thoueh worked more than half a CEN
tury. is far from "petered out.
There Is much activity this season
In and near Elk City, Florence and
other camps in north central ldaho'
where nuggets ranging in value from
25 to 80 cents and some coarse gold
were taken out few days ago.
Several companies have installed
dredges with which the gold ground
ls lifted to scows and there washed
for colors, and this operation has
been SO successful that additional
machinery will be at work In a short
time. The ground in the old chan
nels carries values of from eight to
20 cents a cubic yard. while the cost
of mining 1t with pipe and giant
ranges from two TO five cents. Some
of this ground was worked with
rocker, sluice and shovel 60 years ago
when clear-ups ranging from $25,OOO
to $4,000 were not unusual.
Water from the mountain streams
and the snow on the high ranges is
now used with hydraulic apparatus
to tear the pay dirt to bedrock
usually slate, and the nuggets are
found among the boulders and heavy
rock. Black sand, carrying platinum
is also found on the lower strata. The
top coverings are usually clays.
Randall II. Kemp, veteran miner
OF Spokane, who has prospected with
success in various parts OF the West
from the Black Hills to Alaska since
lists, says the time IS not far distant
when the placer mines in Idaho will
produce from S2,5OO,OOO to $3,OOO,OOC
In gold season, adding there is li'
phase of mining. in which the ele
ment of chance is reduced to SO small
q minimum, for the reason that {
miner is able to determine within I
fraction of, dollar the value of th'
, ground before starting work.

This evening, q part Of the new

to this city and the distribution will

Local Enthusiasts Proud Of

Only the rain man can mar the
opening OF the Ohio State league
season here this afternoon. Local
fandom is more than watching the
skies and praying tina. the rain will
hold off at least until after Mansfield
and Marion have clashed and one or
the other has copped a victory.
Marion fans think that they have
little need to worry about the Dig
gers. They believe in Manager
O'Day's team and will back it to the
limit. As yet though the Diggers
have not been in action against any
thing very classy and for that reason
today's opener will probably attract
great throng of ardent rooters to
the yard, provided, of course, that
the weather is not too threatening.
The grounds are in fine condition
despite the rainfall OF the early
morning and will yet stand q good
amount of water. A steady downpour
is about all that can prevent the
game. The oft-referred to Jupiter
Pluyius is the cynosure of all eyes
that is he would If he were among
us. Chillicothe went wet yesterday
but there is a general prayer that
Marion will go dry all day today
Manager O'Day will not state posi-
lively which finger he will use. He
wants to work Zmich but may de-
eide to use Wilmot If the Mans
field uses left-hander ne will put
Bill Johnstone behind the bat while
If they spring a rlght-hander he will
send in Emmett Reilly.
1t Is not unlikely though that Will
mot will do the heaving as he knows
most of the batters thoroughly and
has happy faculty of getting away
with his games against the Mansfield
crew.
The lads who have been staying at
Hotel Kumfort for the past two weeks
all moved their belongings today to
various parts of the city where they
have engaged rooms. Commencing
today the players pay their own ex-
penses while here. The club pays
all while they are abroad.

Fans at the park yesterday had a
surprise handed out to them. They
saw Whlpple let loose of everything
that he has In store. He was serv-
ing them up to the Diggers. His
cross-fre was better than ever, he
turned on a bunch of speed with a
quick breaking in-shoot and showed
a curve ball that is beauty. He
had good control, stoo. Whipple
will be in even better shape within
few days and 1t seems likely that
he is to hold down a regular job
Jim Berner, who recommended the
Columbus boy to the local manage
ment,. says that he has today more
than San Burk ever will have. Ant
