L. j. LOTUS, who is one of the most
conspicuous personages in the base ball
world, arrived from the east Tuesday
evening, remained at the Harper until
Wednesday, when he left for his home
at Dubuque. Mr.. LOTUS has signed as
manager of the Cincinnati team which has
just jumped from the American associa-
ton into the National league for the COM
ing season. Last year he managed the
Cleveland league club, which made such
squirt at the beginning OF the season,
but took such McGinty like movement
toward the end When the brotherhood
movement asse rted itself. he lett Cleve-
land, and being considered one of the best
ball managers 10 the country. his services
were quickly secured by Cincinnati.
Mr.. LOTUS, while to some extent in
sympathy with the base ball movement.
does not believe that the recent indepen-
dent strike made by that organization
will prove success, as interval
strifes, jealousness. etc will lead to its
downfall.
The real object Of LOTUS mission to
Rock Island. it is believed. was to secure
the name of carry Sage. Rock Islands
crack catcher, to a Cincinnati contract
for the coming season. Sage played last
season with Toledo and has signed for
next year, but negotiations for the pur-
chase of his release have been pending, it
is understood.

Gallatin basin and Taylor's fork. He
says that there is an extensive coal field
in that district and that the coal appears
to be of excellent quality. Not far from
the coal fields, but on the opposite side
OF the river, gold placer mines are known
TO exist, hut as TO their extent or value
but little of course, is known, as compare
lively little prospecting has been done.
Mr.. Grinnell says there are literally
mountains of quartz and float all over the
country. A number of locations have
been made, but no mines have so far
been opened. He located three claims
for himself, brought down with him some
fine specimens of coal and returned to the
district this week.-Boseman Courier.
