This play has all the natural flavor Of

aroused a high degree OF interest
wherever produced. Wall Street men
and taeir methods have figured in plays
before, but they have never been as

The League Consolidatior-Talk of
Another Southern Circuit.
Lovers Of base ball will no doubt be inter
ested at learning that the differences be-
tween the national league and American
association will in oil Likelihood be patched
un. The directors Of the national league
have appointed A Fl. Soden to confer with
Mr.. French of the association with view
of making a settlement of the difficulties.
Wessrs. SOden and French have also been
instructed to consolidate the league and asso.
citation into one base ball association.
The circuit to be arranged will incluie
the following cities: Boston, New York,
brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington in the east; Chicago, CleYe-
land, Cincinnati, Pittsburg. Louisville and
st. Louis in the west.
Last year the two organizations had six
teen clubs altogether. Four Of these will
ps dropped, as follows: The Boston and
Philadelphia league teams and the Column
bus and Milwaukee association teams
Milwaukee, it is understood, will enter
the western association, and Columbus will
sell its franchise, which will probably be
taken up by the association ID prevent any
other town from entering the twelve-club
circuit.
The only clubs objecting to the consou-
dation are the Athletic club Of Philadel-
phia, owned by the Wagners; Chicago club.
but recently organized; Won Der Ahe's st.
Louis club and the Louisville club. Won
Der Abe wants Sunday games in st. louis.
and to wheel him in line the league will
grant the Sunday privilege to all six of the
Western clubs. The Athletics are to be
paid $40, 900 for their franchise. At present
they ask SIS. 900, but officials say they will
not get it, as the Athletics are sure to accent
the former sum when all the other teams
agree.
Representatives of Atlanta, Nashville.
Memphis and New Orleans base ball inter-
ests are considering aud endeavoring to Or
ganize another southern league. The cir
cult as proposed will include Nashville,
Chattanooga, Atlanta, Memphis, Savan-
nah, New Orleans. Birmingham and Mo-
bile. Nashville, ATLANTA, Chattanooga and
New Orleans have shown themselves to be
excellent base ball towns and the other
cities mentioned are not far behind them.
When the southern league was in operation
several years ago Atlanta held the pennant
for three consecutive years. The last year
it was captured by New Orleans. 1t
is safe to say that if league
is organized Savannah will not be in it.

KANSAS CIrY'5 GOLD MINE.
Many Millions Thought to be Buried
There.
From The 81. Louis Republic.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 16.-A shaft
will probably be sunk on the land owned by
George R. Nelson, across the river, for the
discovery of gold made by Mr.. Wentrock.
City Engineer Butts and Mr.. Nelson held a
conference this afternoon, and Mr. Butt 8
said that his confidence in the discovery Is
such that if reasonable terms can be made
he is willing to bear the expense of sinking
the shaft. He estimates that it will cost
about 81 900.
This morning he said: II am satisfied
that the bed of collaborating sand lies below
the shale. The boring was so carefully
done as to warrant that opinion. | don't
know how thick the auriferous stratum is
but it probably extends twenty or thirty
feet down. You know we went into tonly
four feet. Comments on this discovery are
based on the experience of all the Missouri
valley towns where gold has been found in
the sands, but not in paying quantities.
Note this important distinction. This gold
was deposited here before there was any
Missouri river. 1t is beneath the shale In
my opinion the deposit covers at least 1000
or 3 600 acres. Ofcourse if the gold-bear-
ing sands extend under it there is at least
81 900, 900 in it,"
George Nelson, on whose land the
gold was discovered, is not excited thereby,
but is SAID to be preparing to make a
thorough test. He says: "lf the auriferous
bed extends under the Harlem bend, Mr..
Lipscomb, my attorney, figures that, at the
rate per ton given by the assay, there Is
80 O0O, 900 under each acre. l have already
been approached by parties desirous of buy
ing. One man asked me to fix a price on
100 acres. We will see what there is in it.
OF course, if the discovery is what it seems
to be. and what Mr.. Butts believes 1t to be,
there will be rush or people INTO Kansas
City like the rush to California"
The general opinion among the people Is
that the value OF Mr.. Wentrock's discovery
should be tested at once. The known facts
are too slender to base valuable conclusions
upon. People accept them for what they
are and demand thorough test Inc gen
nineness of the assay and the good faith in
which the sample was selected are generally
accepted. All that remains is thorough
test on q larger scale.
