Fkazek Gbebb Colnty June 3 Wheat
harvest began this week and is somewhat
impeded by bad weather and a short supply
of twine The amount of twine sold in this
county is enormous and an estimate at the
amount of wheat is very hard to make and
guesses run from six hundred thousand
bushels to two million However the
wheal is very line nnd will average at least
sixteen bushels per acre There is a great
deal of rain falling here and fears are enter-
tained that wheat will be injured in the
shock

Vernon June 4 The farmers here are
all nervously anxious about their crops ard
the harvest has bepun in earnest Great
relief is felt this morning as the weather is
cooler and it is hoped the threatening rains
are over The crop is estimated at twenty
bushels per acre and one can get some idea
of the number of acres when we say that
between 000 and 700 binders have already
been taken to the fields besides a number
of headers Every report brought in in-
creases the estimate as the heads are well
filled and the grain very plump
J A Finch Wilbarger countys immi-
gration agent has returned from an East-

days with his pockets full of statistics of

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS
A silver mine has been discovered four or
five miles south of DoLeon and we are told
that the dirt contains about S TO to the ton
An old miner was here last week and says
the ore tested so far reveals the fact that
it is rich in deposit but developments to
this date are not sufficient to tell the quan-
tity If it proves to be a paying mine a
company will take charge and open it up
Parties are still at work and we hope to be
able in our next issue to give the result of
their experiment DeLeou is In it to stay
should this be a success DeLeon Free

nev an exierieneed miner has been pros-
pecting in the Llano iron fields for coal He
put a year in the work To day he came to
town with the results Gaffney asserts that

he has gone down 300 feet following a lead
of as fine bituminous coal as ever came
out of Pennsylvania At that depth the
vein is six inches wide It has grown
steadily broader for every foot of progress
It has bepn tested and cokes admirably
If Gaffneys discovery is genuine the prob-
lem of the Llano fields is solved That
county is wonderfully rich in
iron aud most of its lands have been ab-
