Milwaukee, Wis, July 10, 1897
Yesterday was a great day for the
Brewers. While the Columbus team vas
being trounced by the Tigers anu the
ElGosiers were prevented from taking an
other game from the Bobo!inks, the
Brewers were giving the ST Pauls a
dose of the medicine that the Saints have
been dishing out to other clubs that have
visited the SANITY city. The Milwau-
kee team is now within striking distance
and only a few points separates them
from the leaders. The DISCOVERIES and
Apostles fell hard. It must have been
severe on Lotus to allow Vanderbeck
and his outfit to take three straight
games, after the record made by the
Ohio aggregation. Minneapolis took an
other fall out Of the Cowboys and are
now in seventh place. with the odds in
their favor Of remaining there The
Hoosiers and Bobolinks played only three
innings on account of the rain, but it is
better so, for the Indianapolis team
would surely have taken another game.
In the National league the race be-
tween the first four clubs is a pretty
one, with the Boston team in the lead
by a good margin. The Orioles have
fallen down woefully of late and will soon
be in fifth place if they keep on. Gin
clnnau is in second place, but the Reds
are not heavy enough to Dust the Bostons
from their position. The results:
Milwaukee. 3; ST. Paul 2
Detroit, IA; Columbus, s.
Minneapolis, 6; Kansas City, 4.

SEARCH FOR A LOST MINE.
Pros sectors Work Near Baraga.
Mich, Based on an Indian
Tradition.

Baraga, Mich, July 12.-LSpecial. j
For many years past vague tales have
been afoat regarding the existence OF Il
rich silver mine in Baraga county, SOME
where in the neighborhood of a hill
which grew TO have the name of Silver
mountain. The various stories, or edi-
tons OF the same story, were to the effect
that the existence of the mine was known
to number of the older Indians OF the
Chippewa tribe, whose reservation IS near
here, and that adventurous spirits who
had attempted to locate the mlne met
with misfortunes which deferred them
from further attempts, or cost them their
lives. Never, until recently, has any Sc
riOus attempt been made to test the truth
of these tales, bat this spring Il number OF
proapectors from New York and Buffalo
took sufficient stock in the story to send
an exploring party to Silver mountain,
where work has been prosecuted for sew
eral weeks past. The prospectors have
but specimens of quartz taken from their
test pits have been seen by several reput-
able citizens, and were found itch in both
gold and silver. both of which were IN
native form. The party doing the eX-
ploring is very close-mouthed, but the
specimens already secured are certainly
encouraging, and other exploring. parties;
composed of residents of the county, Will
probably take the field in few days.
DR.. Douglass Houghton, the pioneer
explorer whose work resulted in the open
ing of both the iron and copper districts
OF Lake Superior. came to L,Anse in the
fall of 1916 with an eagle quill filled with
particles of coarse gold, and stated that
there was plenty more where that came
from. A few days later he was drowned
while Oh the lake in sailboat, and his
secret persisted with his untimely death;
or gold and silver might have been added
to the mines of iron and copper which
he was instrumental in opening. It has
been generally thought that DR.. Hough-
ton secured his gold in the Huron noun
tains, east Of Keweenaw bay, but there
is nothing but tradition for locating his
mine there. 1t may have been in the
ne:ghborhood of Silver mountain. and it is
possible that Baraga county will follow
Kootenai and Rainy Lake az the very
newest Eldorado.
