RAY KlMBALL NOT SATISFIED WITH
ONE REVENUE PRODUCER
HIS SETTLEMENT PROPOSITION
To the Council at It's Next Meeting
Rumored That he Wants $4,000 For
Perpetual Rights.

Ray Kimball has his drill in the
ledge on the bank of the Paint River
on Lot and says that he has very
promising indications Of striking an
iron mine on his property. Ray has
had gold mine in the property for
several years and this dual matellic
venture is certainly interesting to the
taxpayers of the city who will be called
upon to increase the damage that the
power dam occasions by the backing
up of the water.
Mr.. Kimball had sample of ore
matter which he showed about town
last Saturday. He stated that the
matter was sludg9q from the drill
hole on his propert that the drill
was then 20 feet in Dc ledge; that the
ledge was ore-not 'ote formation-and
that he considered his chances OF
showing mp II big body OF ore very
promising.
Mr. Kimball's ore find is more in.
teresting from the effect that it may
have upon the city damage claims than
from the number of addit tional men
that il will put at work in this yicin-
ity. Kimball has two claims against
the city for back damages and after the
next freshet will have another one.
Mr.. Kimball. so IL is rumored. will
make the council one more offer oi
settlement. catch as catch can. and h xes
the sum at 50. 600 for perpetual rights.
This is a blind stab. II mine should
be found it will be more.
In tlfe mean time Mayor Bjork il
said TO be- doing some hard studying
upon this Kimball problem in an effort
10 get settlement for the city that
will be for the best. It's hard nut
to crack and will require much patient
study and some compromising all
around.
The churn drill! is pounding away in
the mean time and more interesting
developments may be expected at any
time.

Temporary Suspension at the
gie'T5s.

The ore shipping season for 1903
commenced earlier than was expected.
At the close Of last week the threat of
labor troubles coupled with the glut OF
ore on the lower lake docks gave very
gloomy outlook 70 the market
Then came the announcement that
the senate finance committee had de-
cided upon 25-cent duty on ore and
that announcement seemed TO clarity
4he atmosphere considerably.
The threatened labor disturbances
took on more hopeful aspect as the
week ended and Monday came the an
nouncement that boats would be ut the
head of the lakes by the 2Oth.
On Tuesday care were set in at the
Dunn and the large daily output Of
that property commenced going for
ward.
The Bristol had started It's daily out

Hollister and Gibson. The latter pro-
perty is making nice daily showing
Notwithstanding the drawbacks IL has
met with.
In this connection the announcement
that ore from the Guyana range In
Minnesota will be shipped this year is
interesting from two standponits, one
the announced entrance OF new iron
range and the other the entrance OF a
new iron ore carrying road, the North
ern Pacific. IL is rumored that the
Northern Pacific will build docks at
Allouez Bay in Lake Superior to handle
the product of this range.

MORE CORN THAN WHEAT.
Secretary Coburn Says That Kansas
Farmers Are Changing Crops.

The agricultural statistics Of Kan.
sas for the past year reveal some in
teresting facts as to changes of crops
and their acreages planted in the
different counties. AS examples there
is net increase in corn Of 659,212
acres, and eighty-six counties planted
more corn than IN the preceding
year, while, eighty counties sowed
less wheat. There was an aggregate
decrease Of 5OS.S17 acres in the
wheat sowing.
The shifting from wheat to corn
in some Of what have been regarded
as especially wheat counties is very
noticeable. Sumner. for instance,
famed heretofore as being either first
or second In wheat diminished its
sowing by $4,000 acres, and now
occupies but seventh place, while in
creasing her corn planting more than
$4,000 acres, and as a corn county
occupies third place instead of eighth.
Barton county, with 261.0OS acres
remains first in wheat, an increase
of 400 acres, but adds to her corn
crop IL 900 acres; Rush, with 214,-
904 acres is second in wheat, and
Pawnee third. While Reno with
1896 acres of wheat is fourth in
that respect, many will be surprised
to know that no other Kansas coun-
ty plants so much corn, or, 203,2S9
acres.
After Reno the next counties in
big corn acreage are Jewell, Sum-
ner,, Marshall, Smith, Nemaha and
Sedgwick in the order named. These
are pretty evenly diided as to the
northern and southern portions Of
the state, but are all, except Smith,
In the eastern half.
In corn area--100,000 acres or
more, the six big counties in western
half Of the state are Smith, Norton,
Phillips, Graham, Decatur and Os-
borne, as named, and these, excepting
Graham and Osborne, are in the ex-
IRENE northern tier.

Mighty Poor Show.

The widow Perkins" show at the
theatre last night was a mighty poor
kind of a show and also mighty
poor show of its kind. Why such
conglomerators think the stunts per-
formed are entertaining is beyond
the average mans conception. The
few musical specialties that had any
merit were spoiled by lot of fool
ishness. To the credit of the theatre
the show was not advertised as an
opening night performance. Abilene
