Ore Coming Out...The Ball Club
at PLAY.

the other day, estimated at s., 600, on
weeks run.
Tom Pritchard struck ledge on
southern end of the Snow ball, six
feet wide of $l2 to SIS ore. He has
started tunnel lower down the hill
to prospect the vein at greater depth.
| Hoag, who has been running a
tunnel to tap the ledge on the Mary
claim, through very hard rock, has
been rewarded for his hard labor by
Teaching the vein, which is of con-
siderable size, and horns $25 to $50.
| Owen Owens, on the New Party,
is still taking out good ore.
Miller & Thompson, on the same
claim, are taking out pay ore in con-
siderable quantities.
Hardscrabble is producing it's usu-
al daily yield.
The Nelson boys are working ON
the north end of the Snowfall, and
have thirty or forty tons of ore piled
on the dump, and are still extract
ing.
Dick Kelly has nice ledge with
rich stringers in it.
Ranch & Crozier, on the Mary, are
getting good ore.
Douglas l. McQuillan, on the Di-
rect, are taking out ore of good quail
ity.
The Bounce is improving in quality
every day.
Stewart and Harrington are still
getting rich ore.
Rupert & Watson are taking out
some rich stuff.
The mill is still running on Hard
scrabble ore.
THE BALL PLAYERS.
Play baseball? Well, 1 should
think so. You should see this nine
at practice. The Captain sends part
of the nine over the hill to Rebel
Gulch, and they pass the ball back
and forth over the hill from the gulch
to Union Canyon with ease. When
they want to practice batting they
get into the canyon at the foot of a
steep hill-don't have to hunt far
send their pitcher up the hill to prac-
tice the drop" and field the ball as
it comes down through pine trees,
rocks and sagebrush. and meyer let 2
ball get by. When they wish to give
the pitcher little exercise on the up
shoot, they reverse positions. You
ought to see that fellow Kennel IAN
Eastern importation) pitch. He
stands at the Grassie corral, near
the spring in Rebel Gulch, and pitcn-
es an out curve around the trail into
Union Canyon, and tries to hit the
Chinaman's dish pan, hanging on the
north end of the boarding house.
After pitching few times he goes
over the hill to see how he is making
it. He has got the bottom of the
pan smashed in-scratch if he misses
it. Hasn't got the in curve down as
fine-want of practice. He has been
pitching at knot hole in Harring-
toms cabin, etanding over here in
Douglas, and was getting along fine,
but Barnes stopped him, claiming
that he was taking care of the prop
erty, did not own it, and did not
want it battered down. Tell the
Hawthorne boys to look out for Ken
net; he's a terror. The Captain is
thinking OF putting the catcher in
the field and let the first and third
basemen do his work. The only
chance on three strikes to reach first
is to get enough the start OF the ball
before it makes the complete curve
after passing the home plate and
starts back for the first base. When
the team first went to Soda to prac-
tice, there was a grand kick because
Bob Stewart had cleaned the rocks
out of the diamond; couldn't play on
that kind of ground. Brown sug-
gested placing monuments over the
ground so that it would look more
homelike. Objected to by Douglas
unless he got the recording of the
claims-it was in his jurisdiction.
The Captain placed his team up and
down the valley and put blinds on
them to keep them from seeing the
mountains, Not one of them could
resist trying to throw over hill
from force OF habit Had also an
incline huilt for each man tn give
