Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 9, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE Harrisville, Mo. June 4, 1883 Mr. Editor: Seeing that you have no correspondent in this place, I thought I would drop you a few items which you may publish if you choose. Our landlord, Mr. PITMAN, concluded the other day to leave these diggings, and the hotel is now in charge of Mr. SALES. Mr. J. LaCHANCE, the lieutenant editor of the "Best and Only" was out here last Sunday on one of his usual trips; it seems he has a good prospect here, to look after. The prospects for wheat and other farm products are not very promising in this section of the county, as they were more or less hurt by the frosts of May the 22nd and 23rd. Our baseball club has again sprung to life and even had the audacity to challenge the club of your city; the game came off last Sunday, when our boys were badly beaten; they stood 11 to 62 in favor of the Ste. Genevieve boys. The mines are in a flourishing condition, the company having at present about one hundred men at work. During the last month, there were 337,000 pounds of ore hauled to the furnace, which was the largest quanity of ore ever hauled in any one month, since the mines are n operation. E.S.
