away everything. The Carlists say
that if there are fresh disasters they
will seize power The Carists are

divided by differences of programmes,
and the rivalries of their leading men.

MERTES ALSO PLAYED WELL
THE GAME EASILY THE FINEST
YET SEEN.
San Jose Beaten by the Athletics and

San Franciscos-0ther
Games.
By doe Corbett.

Forty-fve hundred lovers Of our great
national game turned out yesterday al
ternoon to see the Stocktons, reinforced
by "Sandow'' Mertes and George Harper
defeat the Oaklands by the score or L TO U.
Not in many years has such perfect
exhibition been witnessed as that of yes
terday. The Stocktons, who have hither-
to been looked upon as anything but an
up-to-date ball team, more than surprised
the persistent fans by their STEADY ana
at intervals really brilliant playing:
Harper, their new pitcher, was simply
invinclble, and with Mertes to steady the
field it is not hard to conjecture why II
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon
these two Eastern men. Their playing
was at all times superb, Harper pitching
elegantly and MerteS playing Shortstop
as only a National Lacquer can. They,
and, of course, their cohorts, did not nave
what is generally termed a walkover. In
fact the bitterest sort Of opposition greet
ed them at every step, and had 1t not been
for a fortunate base hit by Rice in the
second inning, with man on second, the
game might have been going on yet.
Moskiman, who opposed Harper, did
almost as well as Harper. But four hits
were made off his delivery, but two of
them came at time when they were
needed, and hence the run that won the
game. A base on balls coupled with two
hits was, therefore, the cause of Oak
lands defeat, but they need not feel
ashamed, as they played as good game
as their opponents, save in the third inn
ing, when Moskiman was hit opportune
ly and the only run of the game was
scored. The score follows:

Free Milling Ore Yielding Fifteen
Ounces to the Ton Pierced
by a Tunnel.

SPOKANE, Oct. 3O.-The most marvel
Gus strike recorded in a mine of Wash
ington was made to-day in the Republic
mine at Republic, on the north half of
Colville reservation. Free. milling ore
averaging 10 ounces of gold or nearly $500
to the ton, was encountered at depth of
400 feet from the surface. The drills cut
through twenty-four feet of ledge, the
last sixteen feet averaging fifteen ounces,
and the farther wall of the pay streak
has not yet been encountered. The Re
public mine tunnel is AS feet long, having
been driven with a view, Of ascertaining
if values on the surface held with depth.
The mine has always shown rich ore,
but this discovery makes other mines
near by almost certain Of encountertng
the ledge at great depths.
The effect of the discovery was electri-
cal in Spokane. A party of mining brok-
ers has done landoffice business all day,
although it was Sunday and SPECTATORS
were supposed to be at home. Quotations
for stocks of mines in the vicinity jumped
from ten to thirty-five cents q share and

ed hands in the afternoon. The stock of
