wool is active, railroads in the south
west are carrying an enlarged traffic
and some western sections and lines
denote sustained improvement. With
al, the general tenor of reports re-
fleets either midsummer quiet or a
continuance of small lot buying at
frequent intervals, expectations to
this Characterization being provided
by the northwest. Moreover, highly
keyed anticipations as to crops still
to be harvested are being shaded,
chiefly because of reports of black
rust damaging spring wheat and Of
lack Of moisture for corn.
Business failures for the week end
ing July 23 were reported as 262,
against 254 last year; wheat exports,
United States and Canada, ~7,739,755
bushels, against 3,592,901 last year.
New York, July 27.-Following is
Dun's weekly review: Further grad
ual Improvement in the business sit
uation is apparent at a time when a
pause in mercantile and industrial
activity is customary. Considerable
~irregularity still ~characterizes reports
from the leading centers, yet favor
able influences predominant. While
complaints are heard of damage to
the grain and cotton crops, another
| prosperous year on the farms is vir-
tually assured. Enhancement of
values in iron and steel is a reflex of
! better conditions in that trade.
In copper quietness is pronounced
and an easier trend is manifest. A
| waiting attitude on the part of dry
| goods merchants is noted. There have
been active openings of mems wear,
yet new business is below that of a
year ago. Leather shows improve
ment. Interest in monetary affairs
has conferred chiefly on developments
in foreign exchange, which has adj
vanced sharply. Existing conditions
are abnormal, inasmuch as it is log
zeal to expect a declining tendency in
exchange at this season of the year.
Complete official foreign commerce
returns for June indicate that the
balance of trade is still against this
country. On the other hand, this
nations credit position abroad is
likely to be strengthened in the flu
ture by a heavy outgo of grain.
Commercial failures this week are
1852, against 29S last week.

DRY WEATHER


Yankton, July 27.-It will have to
be admitted that this is the dryest
year since 1894, twenty years ago,
when the whole northwest suffered
from partial to complete crop failure.
Hereabouts there was some crops
raised, just enough to make that say
ing good, THE county that never had
a crop failure" but it was a very
close call. This year conditions are
against similar. A press representa-
tive talked today with farmers from
all parts of the county, and with men
whose business has taken them all
over the county during the past
week. To the west and northwest
reports are of a most serious condi-
ton, with corn badly burned. North
and northeast and east, the reports
are more favorable, but, with the ex-
ception of some small favored locali-
ties, corn as a rule is SO greatly in
need of rain, as is all vegetation, that
even with rains soon, the dry spell
is bound to materially affect the ulti-
mate yield of corn in this section. A
fair crop of oats has been raised, but
not in quality, and those who raised
good oats last year are already hold
ing for seed, and can get good prices
too.

BRIDGE BUILDING WONDER.
lehish Valley Replaces Old Bridge
With New In Five Minutes,

Wende. N. Yin FIVE minutes a 100
ton bridge was moved out and replaced
by a 750 ton bridge on the Lehigh Val
'ey railroad here. 1t took exactly two
minutes to get the old bridge out OF the
way and two minutes and fifty seconds
to roll the new n into place. Traffic
was not interfered with, the time chos-
en- for the bridge moving having been
carefully chosen In relation to the
movement of trains.
The new bridge. which is a double
tracked single span structure over q
hundred feet long, was already fitted
with a ballasted track laid on a con-
crete foundation. and as soon as 1t was

consequently some of this Nebraska
land must be on the north shore. He
located the same and looked up the
recotds to see what condition the
title was in. Some of this land had
been filed on soon after the survey
some fifty years ago, and had been
abandoned to the river, which was
then on its way through the tract to
the south. Entry was at once made
at the United States land office on all
of the Nebraska land found on the
north side of the river with the ex-
ception of the fractional part of sec
ton 16, which was Nebraska school
land. This was bought at a low
figure, which, taken with the land ac-
CURED from the government, will en-
able the lucky ones to clean up a
nice little sum by the transaction.
The value of this land is v~ariously
estimated to be worth from $50 to
800 per acre. Some of it has fine
timber on it and some is in grain
fields, pasture, etc.
The Missouri river is supposed to
be the boundary line between South
Dakota and Nebraska from the north
line of the latter state to Sioux City,
but here in the space of a few miles
there is a portion of Nebraska on the
north side and a part of South Da-
kota on the south side.
The question now is just what part
of the real accretion adjoining the
South Dakota survey belongs to the
individual owners, and it NAV have
to be decided by the courts.

HUDSON TELLS
OF NEW STRIKE

That the Tolovana country is
undoubtedly a district with a future
is the opinion Of \. K. Hudson, the
Ester creek quartz man. who. with
his brother. arrived in town last
week from that place. 1t certainly
IS the place for prospector says
Mr. Hudson, as there is every
chance in the world that pay will
be located on all of the creeks flow
ing into Livengood creek. on which
the original discovery was made.
Mr.. Hudson himself was one of
he discoveries of the pay on Liven-
good. Interested with him in placer
property are his brother James.
Charles Koegley and others. They
now own ground on all of the tri-
butaries of Livengood as well as
on the main stream.
Although they have done consid-
cradle prospecting the partners have
not yet reached bedrock on any of
their properties, except on the rim
of Livengood creek according to
Mr.. Hudson. There they were able
to get two-cent pans on bedrock in
three different holes, which are
from II to 25 feet deep.
When Mr.. Hudson left the Tolo-
vana district there were no holes to
bedrock on what is believed to be
the main paystreak. However. good
prospects had already been encoun-
tered on at least six different
claims. some Of them on Livengood
while others We're on Olive and Ruth
creeks. The two last named streams
as we'll as several others. are look
ing very good and although they
are short. will probably produce their
Quota OF gold. should regular pay
streaks be uncovered on them. In
fact. Mr. Hudson and partners have
already located three cent dirt on
Olive creek eight feet from the
surface, but have not prosecuted
their prospecting further in that
place.
Mr. Hudson is Of the opinion that
the present trail from Dimes to the
new dggings, is about Is miles in
length He greatly approves OF the
recent move Of the Fairbanks Com
mercial club toward the construction
of better trail, stating that it will
mean much to the merchants OF the
city in a business way as well as
TO the TOlovana miners.
