The Dream Mines.

The Dream mines of Arizona have again come to the front and are attract ing great attention. These are the mines that A. Elliott of Wetnore, Kan. located while lying in a trance. Elliot. did not see the mine until after he had dreamed about it. The circum- stances of the discovery attracted the notice of the American and British so- cieties for physical research and ut the time caused discussion. The Dream mines are located about sixty-five miles east of Phoenix. Some of the ore from this mine was assayed in El P,lso. which il is said ran $j,G00 to the ton. Bot now word is wired from Fora Worth that Elliott has returned there from Arizona with samples of ore from his mine which assays s25.O0O to the ton.

REGULARS WON EASILY
They Played a One-Sided Game
With the Juniors.
SOME YELLOW FIELDING
Inability to Hit at the Proper Time
Is Responsible for the Defeat OF
the Understood Batting
Work

The game of baseball between the Butte
Juniors and the Regulars at Athletic park
yesterday afternoon took place as per
schedule but was not as warm as had
been expected. About $50 people witnessed
the game, which was too one-sided to call
forth much enthusiasm. the Regulars win
ming easily. Inability to hit at the proper
time, together with some very yellow
fielding by the Juniors in the field, was
the cause.
The battery work on both sides was
very good, Buckley of the Regulars strik-
ing out 10; St. Vrain for the Juniors g. Had
the latter received proper support the
game might have resulted in victory for
his team, or at least. in a much closer
score, as nearly all the hits secured off
him should have been outs The catchers,
McBraide and Williams, put up first
class game. although each allowed a pass
el ball. which did not figure in the result.
The other features were the base running
and general good playing of Austin. he
having several stolen bases to his credit
as well as fielding his position nicely, the
fielding of Raymond who replaced Coppo
in left in the sixth (the change should
have been made much earlier), and the
general al-round stupid playing of Wal
tiers on Third whose poor work was re-
spOnsible for several runs. The fielding of
the Regulars was very poor in spots, and
possibly would have been worse had the
Juniors hit the ball more frequently.
The scoring began in the first inning,
when Morrison, the first man up for the
Regulars, hit for a single over second
base, stole second, went to third on Cleve-
lands hit over first and scored on Buck

got two runs in the first half of the first.
