TROUBLED BOWLERS
Rumor of a Combine Against
the WanserS in the Re-
publican League.
LIVE BIRD MATCH AT UNION HILL
Boiling Springs Club Cracks
Shoot for a Purse Of 5000
~ heeling Notes.

There are lively times AHEAD for the
clubs in the Jersey City Republican
Bowling League, and if what a lumber
of well posted Republicans say is true,
the next meeting of the Hudson County
Republican League of Clubs will furnish
lots of excitement. 1t has been charged
by certain members that an effort is be-
ing made by the clubs of Greenvilie to
destroy the chances of the Wanser Club
for third place in the tournament. and
give the honors to the Lafayette Battery.
Recent Developments give these charges
a color of truth. When the tournament
was organized the Wansers had an ex-
cellent team. and the member of he
club predicted hat the other clubs in
the tournament would not be in it. This,
it is alleged, earned for the club the con-
tempt of the Greenville Republican
League and Wanser Club. When the
Leaguers- were assured of first place
and the Minkakwas had a cinch on sec
ond, the Lafayette Battery won a great
number of games, not because the team
representing that organization bowled bet
ter than formerly but because the Green
vile teams suddenly lost interest n
pitted their weakest bowlers against the
Battery, practically giving them the
game. On Tuesday evening the League
Club gave the Wansers a severe drubbing
and last night the M~inkakwas gave the
Battery al easy victory. The game was.
rolled on Pop Edinger's alley, and the
Minkakwas could have won easily had
they SO desired. The novice bowlers
were placed o the team, while the more
experienced bowlers looked on. The
scores of the teams were both under the
:, 200 mark, but in spite of this the Bat
terry won by forty odd. pins. Just why the
novices were allowed to roll while the
more experienced bowlers looked on is a
matter the Minkakwas did net care to
discuss. The victory of last night gives
the Lafayette Battery a record of seven
games won and nine lost, while the Wan
sers nave seven victories and eight de-
feats. The Battery and Wanser Club
will bowl their last game in the League
against each other on March Is on the
formers alleys. If the Battery wins
it will have first place, and if the Wan
sers win the Battery will be out of the
race for good.
The member OF the Greenville clubs
deny, of course, that they threw" any
games to the Lafayette Battery, but an
investigation VIII be made nevertheless.
In the North Hudson County Bowling
League tourney games Tuesday night
the Unions No. l won a double victory.

$432,690, being an increase OF $l79,
$50 over the product OF 1881. In
detail the ore output of The dis.
trict for the year was 26,225 tons,
which when rnilled, yielded l6,785
ounces of gold, 1l2,500 ounces oi
silver and l55 tons Of copper.
These figures ere founded on Ger

can be relied upon as correct
The product falls slightly below

the deficiency good when the pro-

instead of loafing around waiting
for others to put money into hig
pocket,
The question might be asked:
"But what are the inducements to
90 prospecting in the Slerrar'
"Have they not been continuous
ly prospected ever since the days
OF 1922 "Has not everything of
any value been taken up?'
To these queries the following
replies can be safely made: The
inducements are mineral belts un-
surpassed In mining history; sc-
cessibihty, timber and water, and
a large scope of practically unpros-
pected country. The Sierra has
been prospected ever since the days
Of 40, and the new strikes which
are constantly being made but
prove the superficial character II
the prospecting which has been
done. The trouble has been thst
the great mass OF prospectors Meth
er knew what they saw nor where
to look Considering the fact that
mineral is found in the Sierra from
500 to I0,5o0 feet above sea level,
and that there are millions OF acres
which have never had notice OF
any description upon them, 1t IL
simply impossible that everything
of value is taken up. Another adj
vantage of prospecting in the Sier-
ras ia the great variety and value
OF thier mineral resources. Build
ing stone, precious stones, graphite,
clays, silver gold, anhmony, lead
and copper abound, to say nothing
of placer deposits aud the channels
of gravel. The eastern slope OF
the Sierras runs best in silver, the
western the best in gold-tlmber
and water being more plentiful up
on the western slope, as well as it's
greater accessibility renders 1t the
most favorable side for prospecting
and operating mines.

Despite low prices there is con-
siderable doing at Cooks Peak
just now, especially on the west
side. Among the claims being
worked and making occasional
shipments are those of HannIgan
& Peoples, Peter Spray, Thomas
Chattam, Allen & Hancock, Oustat
& Teel, Luxton & Davis. A Cali
fornia company have leased and
bonded the Fat Man claim on the
ease side from AL. Schultz and
have put ten men to work develop

the outlook at the Peak is consider
ably brighter than 1t was this time
