 The Tucson base ballists were challenged to a national game by some aspiring tenderfeet away up among the Coconino pines. The challenge was accepted, on fair and equitable grounds, as may be noted on the fourth page of this issue, but the tenderfeet weakened. They didn't want the earth for the reason that such claim was not necessary under the rules, but they did want everything else. The game must be played in Flagstaff, and under the conditions imposed by the skinned poles, or no game, and probably there will be none. Sampson may have slaughtered the Philistines with the jaw bone of an ass, but the northern half of the territory can't play Dase ball with like wea- pon.-Tucson Citizen.

 Inquiries for silver properties in this section are getting on the i'm crease, and if silver keeps up to its present price, even, # will not be long until some oT the old time sil- yer producers will be worked again. The difference in the cost of trans poTtation and treatment over that of a few years ago, will compensate for the depreciation in the value of the white metal. which has taken place in the same time.
 C. J. Clark, of Denver, president of the Admiral Gold Mining Com pany, is out at the Bradshaw noun taius having some work done on the Admiral lode, one of the company's claims. At a depth of 20 feet from the surface athree-foot streak of ore was encountered which assays as high as S72 per ton. In sinking 20 feet p tons of ore were taken out. With each foot of sinking, the qual- ity of the ore is improving. The ore Is being worked by the Liston mill Some beautiful specimens were found, which gives every indi- cation that the mIne Is another one of old Bradshaw's treasures.
 Globe was set agog on Monday last by the arrival of Leroy ken berry from Richmond Basin with two silver nuggets weighing 307 and 6 pounds respectively. Their size is not phenomenal, but their appar- ent purity is what excites comment. The largest nugget Is about ll3 inches long and l69 inches in cir conference, aud it's appearance and weight would indicate that it is al- most pure metal. The large nugget was found by Mir. Iken- berry two weeks ago, in gulch above the nugget mill. The place is fully mile from where the rich nuggets were found a few years ago, and in a different gulch. The value of the find is a matter of con- lecture, although several old miners think it will assay 900 fine. On that basis, at the present price of silver 664, the large nugget is worth S2S4.35. and the small one S57.24. The nuggets are on exhibition at A. R. Young's, and have attract ed great attention. Richmond Basin is noted for its sil- yer discoveries during the past nineteen years. From 1876 to 1880 the Chilson b;others took out SS0- GOO worth of nuggets from the Mug get and Riiieman claims. Nuggets have been found at various times in the Basin worth from four or five to ten dollars per pound. The Mack Morris was the famous mine in the Basin, however. Our recollection is that during the period it was worked the shipments by the Mack Morris company, through Wells Fargo < Co, aggregated over $S0O,OO0.- Globe Silver Belt.
