which bus already benii coined into

lftil, pntvidotl, however, the balance
should Imi t'uined Into standard silver
dollars only. The amount stored at
I'lilladclphia Is 3,3X5,425 fine ounces,
and the amount at New Orleans 3,038,
H7U line ounces. This make, in all,
sbtitit t5,MH,2Hl in stuiidiird silver dol

The demand for dimes continues una
bated, and iiioHt of the recolnage for
the present will be of that denomina
tion, although 25-cent pieces may also
be coined at Kan Francisco. The coin
age of dimes during the last three years
has been 13,17(1,471. It Is protxxied to
distribute this recoinsne between the
mints at San Francisco, Philadelphia,
and New Orleans, liy law the coinage
of minor coin, one-cent and five-cent
piece., is confined to the mints ul l'bil
atlclphia. This coin has becu very
heavy for several years past. During
Jhe lust three years the coinage of live-
cent piece amounted to 2,0u;i,lt)l, and
Hie coinage of of one-cent nieces $1 ,15115,
IKU. This hus been all aVntorhed by the
public, ami there is every indication
that the demand for thenc coins will con
tinue large for months to come, and add
considerably to the woik ol Ibe I'ltUa
delpbia mint. The coinugo at the mints
st San Francisco and Carson City, Nev.,
after July 1, will be confined to gold
pieces, and such recoinage of subsidiary
silver coins as may be required on the

Nsw Y'ork, June 27. Secretary
Noble has returned to Washington.
His visit here was a short one. He ar
rived Thursday. "'Secretary Noble's
resignation as bead of the department
of the interior is in the hands of Presi
dent Harrison," remarked a friend of
the secretary at the Fifth Avenue hotel
last evening. "The president, however
will probably not accept the resignation
until next fall, when he will appoint
Secretary Noble as one of the new judges
of the United States circuit court. It has
been rumored some time that Secretary
Noble had resigned or intended to re
sign, but they have always been denied
at Washington . The fact is, neverthe
less that President Iliirrinon has re
ceived his resignation. The secretary
will remain in the cabinet until the
resident, bnsdecided upon hie successor.
There is scarcely any doubt of his ap
pointment as a United Slates citcuit
court judge."

The weather in Western Oregon has
continued cloudy and general showers
have prevailed, especially in the fore
part of the week. While the rainfall
the present month has been unusually
heavy, yet in June, 1S88, more rain fell
in most stations. About one inch of
rain fell the past week in the Willamette
valley, and about one-halt inch fell in
Southern Oregon. The fall wheat has
had wonderful growth and is reported
very tall. There has been no rust so
far through in places it is heavy and has
lodged somewhat. Hop growers hope
that wet weather will have a tendency
to kill the lice. Western Oregon pros
pects were never better at this season of
the year, than at present, for a most
bountiful harvest.
In Kastern Oregon the weather has
continued cool, partly cloudy and gen
eral rains have fallen, with snow on the
high elevations south of the Blue
mountains. The total rainfall this
month has been in excess, or at most
places, of any previous record. All
vegetation has a better prospect for a
good harvest than for many previous
years.
Summer fallow wheat will yield enor
mously spring and volunteer wheat
will be good crops except in some few
sections where it was burnt iii ,May.
Fruit is thriving nnd doing well,' but
needs warmer weather, Oregon ns a
whole bus been carefully estimated and
conclusions mado that that the present
prospects indicate at least one million
more bushels of w hat this year than last.
