Lead and Silver.

In New York, the lifelessness which has
characterized the lead market for some
time past has evidently, at last, tired out
holders, and they have made up their minds
to accept lower prices. During the week
some 100 to 1000 tons have been sold at
prices ranging between S3.S216 and $3.50,
the latter being the closing quotation, at
which there are still sellers. 1t is rather
surprising that at these very low prices
buyers show little disposition to rush in
for supplies.

The Value of Anfsmnny.

The steady rise during the past year in
the price of anthony, and the causes that
have led to it, should make those of our
mine owners who possess deposits of this
mineral pay more attention to them. The
demand for the metal is an increasing one,
while the supplies of the ore from the old
sources are diminishing. Anthony ore,
in combination with lead or arsenic, is of
little commercial value; and, according to
Mr.. Henry Emanuel, Of London, the sup
plies of good anthony ore for some time
have been Of the most stinted character.
Japan, which formerly supplied some 200
tons a month of crude, assaying about 20
per cent. metallic anthony, appears to
have almost lost its yield. Borneo like

letic club of the Schuylkil navy is not very
old. 1t started in 1881, but it was not until
1884 that it was firmly established. Messrs.
Huneker, Phillips and W. h. Mcmillan, whose
portraits appear with this article, were very
active and earnest in their efforts to lay the
foundation of the club and to raise it to a
prominent position in athletic circles. In

ages of the Northwestern league. During
the latter part of the season of 1888 he played
second base for the Omaha club of the West
ern association. He staid with the Omahas
during the season of 1899, playing in ninety
seven games, and being credited with sixteen
home runs, twelve three base hits and fifteen
doubles. Towards the end of the season he
signed with Columbus for the remaining
months. His work with that club was of a
very high order. In thirteen games that he
played at second base for the Columbus club
he had seventy-one chances, and accepted ali
except one. While playing with the Omaha
team i'll a championship game against the st.
Paul club, June S, 1889, Crooks made five
successive safe hits, including four home
runs and single, or total of seventeen
bases. Crooks covers great deal of ground
in a short time, and his celebrity in stopping
ground hits and throwing to bases is mar

Michael O'Sullivan, the celebrated all
round athlete, was formerly member of the
Gaelic Athletic association of Ireland While
in the old country he made quite reputa-

America, soon afterward joining the Pas

He is now second best to Mitchell in this

NEWS FROM THE MINES.

AT the office of Mr.. Hanauer the week
was reported as very fair one. Unless
heavy storms are experienced in the
hills, the ore shipments will soon
greatly increase. Advices from the differ
ent camps are to the effect thatthe roads
are fast getting into good shape, and this
being the case, many hundreds of tons of
ore that have been mined and stacked up
during the winter will find their way into
the Salt Lake market. The danger of
blockades on the Central Pacific will soon
be over, and in short time we may look
for an increased output from the Nevada
mines also.

From this time on the club grew rapidly

TOO At the present time it numbers nearly
1,400 names and ranks above any similar
organization, with perhaps one exception,
the New York Athletic club. The A. G. S.
N. has made speciality of boxing and
wrestling, and in these branches has reached
the highest point of proficiency. In track
athletics it does not claim a very high posi-
ton, but it has large and enthusiastic con-
tingent devoted to these sports, so that it is
only matter of time when thorough devel-
opment of the excellent material the club
contains will place it on an equal footing with
rival organizations.
Morris W. Phillips, ex-vice commodore of
the Schuylkill navy is president of the club.
W. H. Mcmillan, its treasurer is also COM
modore of the navy and president of the
Amateur Athletic union. The club has some
good men who. take active interest il track
athletics, and a. such might be mentioned the
following: For the short distances of 100 and
300 yards, w NJ. Perrett, g. W. Hoskins
and J. G. Graham are promising candidates
for honors; W. B. Reilly, H. W. Schlichter
and ]. NJ Hill should do well at the quarter,
half and mile distances.
W. II. Taxis, of whom an excellent likeness
is given, is relied upon to do some great work
next season as bicyclist. He is not new
man by any means, and almost every one
who takes an interest in ''leg developers

the entire front being of stone The interior
is deliberately fitted up, and the gymnasium
and paraphernalia are of the finest.
The Pastime Athletic club of New York
city differs from the A. G. S. n in some re-
spects. The Pastimes are essentially an ath-
letic club. There is practically no social ele-
ment, and it gives more attention to track
athletics than to boxing contests etc. The
club has had a wonderful growth Organized
| more than eleven years ago, with but thirteen
members, it has grown and prospered, until
today its membership roll contains almost
400 names.
Financially well off, it takes high rank
among the clubs of the A. A U.

applied.
