Operations at tho beginning will he
centered upon placing the old Utah
Mines Coalition end OF the property
in condition for production, the ore to
be hoisted by way of the raise con-
Meeting tho old Coalition with the
City Rocks mine. The ore will be
brought out by way of the City Rocks

severe winter, but the tramway has
stood the test just as we had planned
1t should. The tramway has wlthstood
conditions splendidly and IL is in good
shape now. There are some leasers
still at work in the property, and the
company intends to take some OF
these over and operate them more

THE SURVIVORS
ARE IMPROVING
Mr.. Nelson, However, is not Out Of
Danger.-Children Taken
Home.

The survivors of the terrible auto
mobile accident which occurred last
Thursday, August 7th, are apparent
lily slowly recovering. Mrs. Minnie
Nelson Porter, the mother of the two
children who were in the wrecked
car, sat up today for the first time.
Her eyes are very painful. being Sc
verely inflamed and bloodshot. Con-
lsidering the nature of her injuries
she has done very we'll. The injur-
lies sustained by Mr.. Nelson are
more serious; his right limb is ter
ribly bruised and his head gives him
a great deal OF pain. He is not con-
|sidered entirely out Of danger yet,
and it may be ten days or two weeks
before either of them are able to be
removed from the hospital. The two
little folks, boy of five years and
"a girl OF three, have almost recover
led from the shock and their bruises,
which were severe enough, are heal
ing very nicely. 1t is considered a
miracle that any of them are living
to tell the story.
The children have been taken to
the home Of their grandparents near
|Duncombe.

Fine Garage Completed.

The new brick garage erected by
w. ]. ZitterelI on the rear of his
residence lot on Division street is
now completed. The building is as
fine as the average house, in fact it
looks very much like the houses be-
ing built nowadays, with it's square
roof and three dormer windows. The
first floor Is in two compartments,
one for the Overland roadster which
Mr.. Zitterell uses in his business
and the other for the electric Ii
mousine which belongs to Mrs. Zit-
terrell. An electric charger has been
installed in the compartment for the
limousine. The second floor is d.
vided into two rooms but these have
not yet been finished. Steel ceilings
throughout the building and all 9TH
er modern devices are evident. The
drive from the street to the garage
is also completed. 1t is made of two
parallel cement walks with grassy
plot between. Mr.. Zitterell expects
a landscape gardener before long to
further beautify the surroundings
around his home.

After Ball Players.

There is a report among the base
ball fans OF this city that Manager
Kearns Of the White Sox will lose
one or more Of his stars. 1t appears
that some one claiming to be scout
for one of the Southern League
teams was in the city yesterday
looking for material for his team
and he appeared to think well Of the
home team. He also stated that he
would be present at the game at
Duncombe Friday and see the team
in action again before coming to any
decision. There is no doubt but that
there are several players with the
sox who. with the proper big league
coacher behind them, would develop
into ball players fast enough for any
of the major leagues. -.-"

From Automobile, Which is
hit by Freight Car.

Drs. Wyatt and McCauliff came
near having bad accident this
forenoon. DR.. Wyatt was driving
the car accompanied by DR.. McCauI-

in a short distance of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad crossing on
Des Moines street when a freight
train which had been switching

the crossing tried to warn the Occur
pants of the car, which he did. but
when DR.. Wyatt applied the brakes
to stop the auto they refused to
work and the car continued to run
across the tracks. The occupants
jumped from the car but before the
auto could be moved a freight car
hit it carrying it across the crossing
but not injuring it in any way. The
accident could not be blamed to
anyone as it was the fault of the
brakes. T.. N,-s.e- ~ ~-s-sa

her and save her young life. but all
to no avail. She will be greatly

which she was held. and the sym.
pathy of the entire community will
go out to the family and friends in
their great loss. During her sick.

THE IOWA WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Corn in the Northern Half of State
in Good Condition-Poor
in South Part. ..e....a

Des Moines, Aug. ,12.-The
drouthy conditions continued with
increased severity until the. 10th,
when copious showers occurred over
the larger part of the state, and
were followed on Sunday. night by
heavy rains, accompanied by high
winds in many localities. On the
Sth the temperature ranged from
100 to los degrees over the southern
sections, and were attended by hot
winds. Corn in the northern part
of the state has held it's own re-
markably we'll and gives promise of
a good crop. In the southern coun-
ties corn has steadily refrigerated
and the condition has been reduced
20 to so per cent since July 18th.
While much of the damage to corn
is irreparable the rains will greatly
improve the general condition and
prevent further injury. The, rains
will also be OF great value to pota-
toes, pastures, meadows and gardens,
and will increase the water supply,
which was getting scarce in the
southern counties. - .g
The following Geographic re-
ports were received on the morning
of the 18th and show the amounts
Of rainfall for Sunday and Sunday
night at the stations named: Des
Moines, 2.49 inches. Cedar Rapids,
2.34; Abba, 2:05; Marshalltown
1928; Waterloo, 1.36; .Creston,
1.01; Burlington. so.
Following is summary of re-
ports showing conditions of fruit on
August l., 1918: Apples, SO per
cent Of the 1909 crop, or 100000
bushels for this year. Estimates
show a decline in condition of plums
from Is per cent on July LIST to Sc
per cent on August 1st. Grapes
seem to have suffered no injury from
weather conditions. The estimates
indicate 91.5T per cent or only one
half Of ! per cent since July list.
The crop will be exceptionally clean
on account Of freedom from disease
due to the dry weather.
