Probably the finest amateur game of ball

who were at Pastime Park, on Friday
afternoon of last week. The Browns of

pected our team. would have their hands
full. BY some misunderstanding our re-
porter did not take down the game by in
nings, and so we can only give general
summary. The playing up to the fifth in
ming was loose on both sides, and espec-
tally so on the part of our club After the
sixth inning the Browns were whitewashed
seven successive times, although they had
men as far as the second base several
times. The home club made three scores
in the seventh inning, and were then
''blanked" six successive times Numer-
Gus fine plays were made on both sides
among them magnificent one-hand stop
of a very swiftly batted ball, by Hunger
ford. In the last half Of the tenth in
nings one of the finest double plays ever
seen on the grounds was made. One man
out base runners on 2nd and 3rd when
the man on second led off few feet then
Hungerford started toward Yrd and made
motion to throw the ball to End base and
at the same time ordering Platt to throw
the ball home. while this was going on
the runner on third led off and was caught
by Hungerford and, by little sharp play
ing the man on second, who had started
to third, was caught by Gates. The ex-
citcment was intense during the last half

Rev. William Mulder, for many
years resident of Victor, died Aug
2S, of softening of the brain. He was
pastor of the Congregational church
of this village for number of years
He was kind neighbor and a thor
ough christian. He leaves a family
and large circle of friends to mourn
his loss. The funeral services were
held in the orchard on his hons
stead, where an audience of several
hundred were gathered to pay the
last tribute of respect to one whom
they had learned to love and honor
On Sept. Ist Mr.. Egbert Smith one
of the pioneers of Sciota was called
away by the dread messenger, death.
His disease was erysipelas, which
did its work surely and swiftly. He
attended Elder Mulder's funeral, lit
tie thinking that his own probation
would soon be over and his body
consigned to the tomb in one short
week, but such was the fact.
Mr.. Smith was 4o years of age,
being widely known and respected.
He leaves a wife and three children
amply provided for. His funeral
was largely attended,
Mr.. and Mrs. Manner returned
from California last Thursday.
They had been absent about two
months.
Our village schools commence
Monday with Mr.. Charles Chaplin as
principal.
Mr.. Charles Frain Jr. goes to Lam
sing this week to attend the Agricul-
tural College.
Many farmers have threshed their
wheat, and the yield is large and the
quality better than they had expected.
There will be some wheat sown this
week but the majority of farmers will
wait until next Monday before COM
mencing. We have had several fine
showers of late and fallows are in
fine condition. ZIsCA.

the Supreme Court, Senators, Mem

lowing to the press:
A National Bazar, Art, and Indus

National Capitol at Washington, d.
c., November 25th to December sd,

LEADvILLE. COL, August IS, 'S2.
Probably the best known and most
famous Of all the groups Of mines
around Leadville is the one which
gave Governor Tabor his big strike
the Little Pittsburg. The manner Of
its discovery has often been told. Mr..
Tabor, who then kept story on CAL
ifornia Gulch, was induced to "grub
stake" George Hook and August
Rische, both without means. BY this
it is meant that he was to furnish
these men provisions and tools for
prospecting for certain length of
time for half interest in whatever
they discovered. The men went up
on what is now called Fryer Hill and
commenced digging. Mr.. Fryer had
already begun operations at this point
and the men located their claim just
above his shaft. Mr.. Tabor has often
said since that if he had known where
the men were going to begin he never
would have risked anything on their
success, and more than once before
the ore was struck he thought of with
drawing his "grub stake" But in
few days Mr. Fryer struck vein and
opened up what was called the "New
Discovery" mine, while shortly after
Mr.. Tabor's partners found the same
vein and named their mine the Little
Pittsburg. In these two mines have
been uncovered the most remarkable
bodies of ore yet discovered in this
whole region. Mr.. Tabor bought
out his two partners for $4,000,
after which he took out of the mine
three or four hundred thousand dol
lars worth of ore in five or six months
and then sold his claim to Chaffee
and Moffat for 81 900, 900.
The first discovery here, a short
time previous to the two just men
toned, was the Iron mine. The his
tory Of this discovery is the history
of the beginning of the great excite
ment here, and has already been re-
ferred to in a former letter. 1t is
now owned by Mr.. Stevens, one of
the original discoverers, and Mr..
Letter, merchant prince Of Chicago.
In 1873 Mr.. Letter was travelling in
Colorado for his health and while at
Leadville early in the season Mr..
Stevens offered to sell him half in
terest in the hole he had dug for $4o,-
900. Letter thought he could afford
to loose that amount, being very
wealthy man, and he took the offer.
In that transaction he bought at
least 100000, as the mine has real
lied more than $1,000, 900 already.
In the winter following these discov-
cries, Judge Pendry. Of Leavenworth,
Kansas, came to Leadville and hav-
ing selected spot on what is now
called Carbonate Hill built a fire to
melt off the snow and ice and began
to sink a perpendicular shaft. Every
body in Leadville laughed at him.
They told him the top of his hole
was far below the vein, and that if
he went down to the granite he would
find no ore. But in spite of these
discouragements and in defiance of
popular judgement and that of ex-
perts he went on until at a depth of
8S feet he struck rich vein which
caused more excitement than any 9TH
er discovery ever made here, except
the first one. These are few OF the
earliest and most important discov-
cries, and from / have given some
idea may be obtained of the value of
such "find." But these embrace
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-09-08

only small portion of the mines
now in operation around Leadville.
l am told that there are in all over
three different mines, besides many
small holes not dignifed with the
name. From where | now write
can count the steam pipes from twen-
ty-fve mines producing from ten to
two hundred tons Of ore per day,
and it does not look much as though
Leadville was "played out" when;
besides all these, more are being dis
covered daily. The prospector is
still abroad.
The finding of carbonate ores
made great revolution in the bust
ness of prospecting. Previous to this
the discovery of mines was profess
sion or occupation with its well-un-
derstood and carefully followed rules
of procedure. The "prospectors" of
Western mining regions have them
selves rarely been miners. 1t has
not been their business to develop
veins of the precious metal, or to
take out ore, but they have simply
been the discoverers, and having
struck ''pay-rock" they have gener-
ally sold out and moved on to new
fields. Nor does the professional
''prospector" go digging about on the
mountain sides in an aimless way hop
ing to make strike, but he proceeds
Systematically and in some degree
scientifically. He searches up and
down the gulches for "foat" or de-
tached pieces of ore that have been
broken off and washed down to the
stream. Having found "hoat" of ap-
parent richness, he takes careful note
of the position in which it lies and
the general contour of the ground in
the vicinity in order to determine the
direction from which it must have
come. Then he goes upon the hill to
find the out-crop, and if successful
does no more work upon it than is
necessary to prove the value of the
mine he has discovered. By a sys-
tematic search like this, Mr.. Stevens
discovered the Iron mine. But in
only few instances has the outcrop
Of one of the Leadville veins been
found, and many of the best mines
have been discovered by digging in
places where there were no surface
indications of mineral. The "pros-
pector" in this camp takes his pick
and spade on his shoulder, and, hav-
ing taken into consideration all the
facts brought to light by mines and
prospect holes already. opened,
chooses spot and commences to dig
"for luck" And success or failure,
here or anywhere else, is all luck,
very much the same as drawing prizes
or blanks in lottery.
