WORK BEGUN ON THE PURITAN
Hosting and Pumping Machinery
Hauled to the Mine This Week and
Will Be Placed in Position.
MINES ABOUT TOWN.
Development Work on the Puritan to
Begin Immediately.

John T. Nagle is making prepara
tions for beginning work on the Puri
tan Hroperty, above town, upon which
he, in company with a number of other
Butte gentlemen. has secured bond
and lease. The hoisting machinery,
wlich arrived at the Philipsburg depo.
some days ago, is being hauled up tc
the mine, and will be put in place as
rapidly as possible. Mr.. Nagle has Sc
cured as his foreman Mr.
a well-known Comstock mining man.
who will have charge of the mine.
Charles Gould, ex-master mechanic of
the Butte Reduction works, will act
III the capacity of chief engineer.
In conversation with Mr.. Nagle,
The Mail representative learns that it
Is the intention as soon as the 200foot
level is reached to place there a station
pump to pump part of the water to The
surface. Besides the station pump, a
large pump with Il direct line to the
bottom of the shaft viii Of course be
i'll operation. Mr.. Nagle also states
that as soon as the water is lowered to
the 100 foot level they will Immediate
ly begin to clean up and take out ore.
The water is now up TO within so feet
of the surface, which consequently
leaves 10 feet Of water to be pumped
out before the work Of exploiting ore
can be undertaken.
The operation Of the Puritan mine
will add its quota Of employment to
the miners of Philip5burg, and as the
work progresses, we are informed, the
force will be greatly increased.
There are now a number of mines in
operation just above the city in that
Vlclnlty which are paying PROPOSE
tons, and one or two of them netting
handsome returns to those who are
operating them. The front property
may be mentioned rs the principal one,
which is making those interested rich
after having laid dormant fer many
years rast until Mes.rs. johnson and
Grimes managed to get control of it,
Within the past few months it has,
under the careful management and sys-
tematic development of Frank Grimes,
reached a point where it is now con-
sldered one of the bonanza properties
of Granite county. The Hobo, Peter
Coyle and other properties which are
known to contain great mineral wealth
are being worked steadily with the
best of indications and results.
From what we can learn, it is evil
dent that others in that vicinity will,
before long, be started up, and as they
are known to be good properties it is
more than evident that they will de-
velOp into paying mines.

the Sisters hospital, Missoula, last

March. On the night of March 4th
last, Mr.. Daddow went into his barn
at Drummond to feed his horses. and
while taking hay from the loft he fell
through a trap door to the floor below
and was badly bruised and shaken.
His condition was not considered SER
ious until late in April, when he be-
came partially paralyzed and was taken
to the hospital. His condition grad
ually became worse and finally he be-
came totally paralzyed, which soon re-
suited in death.

Private Letter Boxes,

New YORK, Nov. 16.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says !:
The Post Office officials are anxious
to secure, legislation during the next
session OF Congress to- regulate the
use OF private letter boxes, which it
it said, affords great facilities for
persons engaged in fraudulent enter
prises. ~.
In Chicago, New York, Philadel-
iphia, Boston and other large cities,
the private letter boxes have become
"a fixed institution. They are rented
by any one willing to pay for their
convenience. The system has grown
wonderfully in proportion in New
York city and the boxes are used by
men and women Cor clandestine cor
respondence and by criminals.
"We are not trying to regulate the
morals of the Post Office" said First
Assistant Postmaster, General Jones.
@We are simply trying to protect them
from frauds. We object to the use of
the boxes by those whose sole aim is
to fleece people. When these fellows
hide behind the private letter box
cannot understand why we should be
criticised for following them"

CAPTAIN RANSOME
ON THE GAME.

I have bu: little to say about the game,
further than that we were fairly and thor
oughly defeated. Stanford's line was too
strong for Us. They beat US at kicking,
they beat as at line bucking, in interfer.
ence anil in teamwork. We saw from the
start that we were not. their equals, so
what could we do but 10 work our very
best? 1t was merely a case of grit and
sand against strong, heavy team. 1t
was hard luck, but it had to go. 1t was
my am bition to be on the team which
would defeat Stanford. but now my last
hope has fed, because my university foot
ball days are over.
l have been playing for four years on
the Varsity, which is the limit according
to the intercollegiate agreement. I am
bound to do something in athletics against
Stanford yet. Guess will GO down to the
track and try to win a second place in the
spring meet.
All the men did their very best. There
was not gutter on the team. NV cap.
taincy for the last year has been a source
OF great pleasure, because of the loyalty
and untiring energy of/the candidates for
places OH the team. Our defeat is now
matter of history, and so the only thing
we can do now is to get in and try to van
quish them next time.

BANQUETED AT
THE BALDWIN.

The Berkeley Varsity team, the second
eleven, the coach, the manager and few
invited students and friends of the uni
versity, numbering in all forty persons,
banqueted at the Baldwin last evening,
after the game. Though vanquished in
the great contest of the year the collegians
decided it was best to take the matter
cheerfully, and soon their sorrow was
drowned in the flowing bowl. Songs were
sung. speeches were made and words of
good cheer we're exchanged. Toasts were
offered by Coach Butterworth, Captain
Ransome, Manager Reinhardt, Walter
Henry. Professor w. E. Magee. Lieutenant
Hinckley (who was referee at the game).
Yellmaster Gooding, Bernard P. Miller,
w. C. Russell and various members of the
team.
Professor Magee proposed three cheers
for the mem bers of the team. and as he
called out their names, the cheers from
forty throats fairly shook the banquet
hall.
As a token of respect and esteem, Cap
tain Ransome was presented with huge
bouquet of the choicest chry
After the feast the team went in body
to the University OF California Thanks
giving extravaganza, "In Kokopo,' at
the Auditorium, where they occupied a
box. They remained for the night at the
Baldwin.

FROM FICKERT,
STANFORD'S CAPTAIN.

To the San Francisco Call: We defeated
Berkeley simply because we were too
strong for her. No one man won for us:
it was all together for Stanford. Berkeley
should receive nothing but praise for her
uphill game. When those men knew they
were lost they continued to play just as
hard as they did when they started in full
of confidence. don't see what fault can
be found with the play of their team or
with the individuals, with the exception
of one man; that man was Ludlow. All /
have TO say of his play is that it was
brutal. He repeatedly slugged our men
and Jeffs' shoulder was fractured bv his
inexcusable roughuess. Outside of that
all the men on both sides played clean,
hard football. heartily admire Ransome
and his wtole game; he is clean, hard
player and did his very best. He man.
aged his team admirably considering how
much outclassed Berkeley really was No
blame can attach to BerkeIey's captain
for Ludlow's roughness.
For our men, Cotton's bucking was as
fine as / have ever seen, and he proved
lust as effective back of the line as we
knew he would. Searighrs work was even
better than we had counted on and Fisher
bucked and tackled in his best style.
For Murphy's play. no one who saw it,
or his arrangement of the signals, needs
to be Iold that he played almost fault
lessly. His passing was accurate, his
punts long ard his tackiing better than
usual. He used good judgment in his
slgnal-giyiug.
The men played SO well in every place
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-27
THE MEN WHO WON THE GAME.

that it is hard to pick out who did the
best. Jeffs had two men to deal with,
which accounted for his missing of the
runner on two or three occasions.
Ray Smith. when put in Jeffs' place after
Jeffs' injury, made some ffective tackles,
but in my opinion it was Straight who
did the best end work of any man on the
field. knew he would do reliable work,
but was even surprised at his fine game.
Both Chester Thomas and Jack Rice
held their position in line in great shape.
There was great RESP ronsibiiity on these
men, and they proved equal to every emer-
gency. Rice's quick work in falling on a
fumbled ball and his tackling were fea-
lures o. the game. Thomas breaking
through and following the bail cannot be
too highly praised
l knew they couldn't bridge our center
with "Old Heff'' Williams and Carle.
Williams and Carle in my estimation
com pletely outplayed their men. felt
confident of our center.
Through the whole season the men
worked faithfully. The whole credit of
the victory belongs to these men who
stood by me through the whole year, and
Stanford owes her victory 10 them. I am
thanKfnl that it was my fortune to be cap
tain OF such lot of men.
We knew Berkeley would try several
tricks and so were anxious about the re-
suit. though we were determined to win.
After FIVE minutes play l knew we had
the game, and / think Berkeley's team
realized it too but the way they stayed
with it was great and / specially admire
Ransome's grit.
The fact that SO few men were injured
shows the excellent condition Of both
teams. l am sorry that Kennedy's nose
was SO badly hurt He has lots of sand.
The conditions were just as favorable for
Berkeley as she could have asked and she
must own that she ives squareiy and COM
pletely beaten. Cardinal is still on top.
