Tin Mountain.

That much difficulty has been en-.
countered in the reduction Of ore at the
Tin Mountain mill seems now assured
The delay in the shipment of tin con.
centrates would seem to fairly warrant
such Il conclusion. We are not definitely
advised as to the nature Of the difficult
ties experienced, but since it has bee,
fully determined that the ore is of ex.
ceptional high grade, it would be bul
reasonable to conclude that the delay
has been the result of the introduction
of new machinery, the operation OF
which must necessarily have been in
the start very imperfectly understood
We learn, however, that better success
has been reached in the past few davs
than has hitherto been attained, and
that it is expected that a shipment will
be made at an early day.

The Band.

With n view to determine the degree
of advancement being made by the
members Of the Custer Cornet band. in
their efforts to acquire proficiency i n
dispensing music in a harmonious and
melodious manner, we attended one of
their regular semi-weekly meetings for
practice on Tuesday evening at the
court house hall. To say that we were
fairly astonished at the remarkable
progress made by the band, in the brief
period of a month which has elarsed
since our last visit, would but family
indicate the impression left upon our
mind after remaining for an hour, a
charmed listener to their pleasing
strains. The band is rapidly attaining
proficiency, and even now, we believe
they may be safely relied upon to meet
all ordinary requirements in the matter
of dispensing music upon any occasion
which may arise where their services
may be desired.

The Grand Army ball at the court

for first place, each having lost
but two games. Boston, however,
is doubtless the stronger team of the
two, having met both New York and
Philadelphia, while Chicago has played
all its games with the indianapolis
Pittsburg and Washington mines. The
Hub team is banking on Clarkson, who
seems greater this year than ever.
There is grave danger, though, that
he will be worked too hard.
He pitched in three of the
four games in New York, winning
two of them, and averages to pitch ev-
cry other day. Can he stand this? 1t
is feared not, although back in 1884,
when with the Saginaw Northwestern
team, he pitched two of every three
games right through the season. Clark
son is Boston's great man, as without
him the team would be a comparatively
weak one. Chicago will not be able to
hold its present high position. Both
New York and Detroit ought easily to
go to the end of the season ahead of
the season ahead Of the Garden City
nine: Philadelphia stands well down
the list, and, with Ferguson dead, has
little show to rise above fifth place.
The record to date is appended.

DEs MONIES LEADS.
The Iowa Team Ahead in the
Western Association.

Western Association.
The Western association season is just
week old, and it is yet too early to
judge OF the relative strength of the
clubs, but probably nobody would at
this juncture claim that st. Paul has
the greatest aggregation of diamond
talent or that Des MoineS has the weak
est. 1t is no sure thing that Omaha,
Chicago, st. Louis, or Kansas City will
not be at the front next Octo-
Der, and bets are even
that ST. Paul will get under the wire a
nose ahead of Minneapolis. st. Paul
people are i'll no wise surprised that the
home team condescended to begin the
race at the foot of the ladder. That is
where all great men and great organiZa-
uonS begin. st. Paul already has a
much better show to work upward than
Des Moines. The top round is mighty
spring days, and there is SO
much danger of falling that
it is anything but pleasant up there.
The reports sent in from Des Moines,
Omaha and Kansas City indicate that
the home teams Of those cities owe the
st. Paul nine pretty heavy debt of
gratitude for its generosity. They have
ali been spared the humiliation of de-
feat. When they were in danger of
losing through inability to hit the ball,
st. Paul magnanimously came to the
front with fragrant bunch of errors to
help them out. st. PaulS young men
have gained the good will of op-
posing managers, too. Base balls
come high, and they have
kept this fact constantly in mind. They
have had several dozen chances to drive
the sphere over the center field corner
into lake. Did they do it? No. They
either tOyed with the breeZeS or touched
is their record. They are going at the
business of run getting carefully, and
are not going to wind themselves while
the season is so young. AS evidence of
this, it may be stated that they
have crossed the plate but five
times in four games. Another
thing, they have conducted themselves
like perfect gentlemen when on the
bases. They haven't gone bustling
around like cyclone trying to get into
the next county, tripping oyer fielders
and plastering themselves all over
with mud. Not much. They want to
get home with their good names, and
don't care to risk their regulations by
committing larceny 100 01ttn In crOWu.
All in all, the young men sent in blue
uniforms to advertise this town
have conducted themselves in a man
ner which must be pleasing to lovers of
the game in the Iowa, Nebraska and
Missouri cities which they have Wis
tied. Their self-sacrifcing spirit has
never once deserted them. and there
will be no surprise in st. Paul if they
keep up their record throughout the
trip. Several bands are preparing to
escort them into town when they arrive
here the latter part of the week. 1t is
understood they will get here in the
night. The record of the teams is ap-
