The present fiscal year Is the first In whIch , un- iler the new law , the expenes of running the various city departments have to be kept within the limit of the amounts ep- proprlated , and the report is interesting therefore , as it shows ( lie amounts still available in the different ippropriations at the end of the first quarter of ( lie fiscal year , namely , June 30. The financial statement shows that on July 1 tIm outstanding obligations of the city amounted $602,521.52 , against which there was cash in the city treasury to the amount of $113,181.59 , leaving the city's net debt on that date 484,812.U3. Owing to the light collectIons of taxes during the month of Juno the debt is something larger than at the end of May. In the general , police and water funds there is about $40,000 which could be used to reduce the outstnnllng obligations against these funds were it not for the injunction suits brought by J. J. Shea against the city , which arc still penling. In round numbers this litigation is costing the city something over $200 a month by ( lie 6 per cent interest - est which those outstanding warrants draw. In the library fund there Is a balance of $1,518.42 , anti in the park fund $2,113.61. Those funds are held by the city treasurer , but the warrants against them nrc not drawn by the city auditor but by the trea- urers of the respective boards. With the addition of these two funds the total cash in the city strong box on July 1 amounted to $121,843.65. 11111.1) F'Olt ltOlIflIG 'I'ILIII MAILS.

Corn- missioner 'Wright is out of the city and should lie not return today Harbcts will probably be taken before the commissioner at Creston by Deputy United States Marshal Richards. The police and Deputy Richards arc .woring hard on the case , but as yet have been unable to locate liarbeta' accom- p11cc. Ilarbets was taken to a photographer yceterday and his pictuTo taken , copies of which will be sent to all of the principal cities , as the police believe the man is an old-tUne crook and that probably he is wanted elsewhere. Omaha oflicere , accompanied by parties who had been victimized by forged checks , were here yesterday , but after looking at Ilarbets decided he was not the man who had operated across the river. The police learned yesterday that the rubber stamp with which Harbets had endorsed the name of David Bradley & Co. on tile checks bad been made for him by A. It. Woodford. Harbets , when he ordered the stamp , represented - resented himself as , an ernpioyo of the firm. Ho won idcntifd yesterday by Woodford as the party for whom lie made the stamp. The letters torn up by Ilarbeta were written - ten In German , but the police say they contain nothing damaging to the prisoner. One is ivrtttn to Harbei , 1w a Mrs. Johanna - hanna Fuchs of Madison , Neb. , and the au- tliorities there have been written to for Information - formation concerning the woman. Ilarbets evidently cut the glass on David Bradley & Co.'s mail box at the postomce with a steel glass cutter , which was found in his pockets when arrested. Iintrlct Court Notes.

The suit was to recover - cover on promissory notes amounting to $550. $550.Dy Dy agreement the motion to dissolve the injunction granted in the case of D. S.

Other Ynlunble Stibnliiiics , DFS MOINES , July 25.-Spccial.-Tho ( ) forthcoming report of the Iowa geological survey v1ll be the most satisfactory in every way of any similar report ever pub- hisht1 in the state. It gives a clearer view than ever before attained of the mineral rtSOUrcea of the state aiitl imidicntcs great progress in the manufacture of clay irod ucts during the last year. it relates of the discovery of new products beneath Iowa soil and altogether seems to point to wider activity hereafter in geological hues. Iowa mInes and quarries had an outpu ( ( lie last year totaling about $7,500,000. Of this about $5,000,000 was realized from coal mines. The clay output , representing the brick and tiling 'Industry , amounted to $1,500,000. Encouraging report is also made of tii output of gypsum from the beds ad- jaccnt to Fort Dodge. The tonnage of coal put out of Iowa mines last year amounted to 4,500,000 at $1.25 per ton from the mine. Coal is mined in twenty-five counties in the state and time total coal area includes 20,000 square miles. The mince are not deep and the expenses of mining are rather light. There being no gases to contend with. ( lie mines are run on a similar plan , which takes less capital than those of many other states. The mining rate depends upon agreemomits made from tirno to tiune between tIme miners and operators anti was not fIxed In the CM- cogo agreement , Iowa miners are hot otill. iated vitiu the United Mine Workers of America antI ( lie result Is that the adjust- Itient of prices here is freer , This , coupled vith the peerless position ivhicli Iowa holds in the northwest corner of ( lie coal fields of tbo Mississippi valley , gives It great advantage - vantage in competition for all the coal trade north of Icansas City amid between the Mis- slssippt river and the Rocky mountains , 'l'riiiie of Mitien , Owing to these facts , the output from Iowa mines Increased within the last twelve months about 1,000,000 tons , and at ( lie pros- out rate that for the next twelve months will be about 12 per cetit higher still. Most , of the mtnes here are owned by local corn- panics. Within the last year the average nuunber of days' work was 190 , varying by counties from 88 to 254 , Only the large mimics closely connected with ( ho railroad companies worked full time. Of the coal sold , 49 per cent went. directly to the railways - ways ; 8 per cemit was sold to local dealers. From this it wIll be seen that It would be possible to nearly doimblo the output without Investing any more capital , and this doubling womuid , of course , reduce the price. It is only within the lust few months that Iowa has obtained anything like her share of the commercial trade of the northwest , and the rate at which he ba since been capturing this business is only equalled by the inroads which West Virginia i making in the tern- tory east of time MissisppI. No industry com1u4t tumider tIm geological ' report has ex'pericneed. such a growth as that of paving. brick. ' Plalits all over the state have expeniencd a most Prosperous year , while Des Moines plants have been especially favored. The Industry is central in this city and is attaining a most remarkable growth. Last year Des Moines brick plants produced $500,000 worth of brick. In 1886 about 18,000,000 paving bricks were sold , of which a large proportion were old stock , Despite the rapid fall In the price of pavIng brick the four plants here give no evidence of decreasing sales. One is reported to have Increased its valuation within the Imast year to $152,000 , which started with a capital stock of 50,000. Its dividends have amounted to 60 per cent. Lcn.I ummil Zinc. The lead and zinc industry makes a 1ss favorable showing. Both used to be mined in fortune making quantities near Dubuque. But the Infitmatry suffered a severe blow when the silver mines wore opened at Lead- yule , the load then going into market as a by-produc ( and reducing greatly the price on the product. Aside from the collection and publication of statistics the state geologist flnd lila as- sistante are making a systematic survey of the state by order of the legislature and are pulilishiing a series of maps. Each map is accommipaniet by a hittlo hnndboolc of from 150 to 200 pages descriptive of the mineral resources anti geological features of the counties , About twenty-six counties have reported , The present report includes the survey of DalIa , Buchanan , Delaware , Dc- catur and Plymouth. These maps have been toUnl ( very useful In teaching local geog- rapliy in the high schools and colleges and are being adopted as text hooks in many of the schools. One of the most gratifying announcements of the report Is the discovery by II. Foster 11am of certain chalk in Plymouth coumity suitable for the manufacture of Portland cement , It contains from 83 to 93 per cent of calcium carbonate , the requiite amount being but 71 her cent , Cement of very desirable quality hue been made at Yank- ton , S.
