The New Almaden is in Santa Clara
county, California, but most of the other
mines are north of San Francisco So far
the New Almaden has been the largest
producer, though of late years it has been
less prominent because of partial ex-
haustion of ore deposits. In 1865 the New
Almaden yielded 47194 TASKS, the largest
quantity produced in single year by any
mine in this country. AT present thers
are only five of these mines on a dividend
paying basis. The Quicksilver company
of New York owners of the New Alma
den property, paid a dividend of so cents a
share on the preferred stock last May, the
first in some time. The last quarterly
dividends (paid Oct. q were 50 cents for
New ldria, 80 cents for Napa. Is cents for
Aetna and 10 cents for Boston. These
companies should pay at least as much as

Most assuredly the plan is a good one

from it. Many clubs in the league have de-

too late and the dire consequences of these

Base Ball Notes.

Wet grounds prevented the Washington
Brooklyn game yesterday. A double-header
will be played in this city when the Su-
perbas come here next week.
All the other eastern games were knocked
out for the same reason, the western clubs
being the only ones able to play.
When it comes down to trading players
this fall the magnates should be sure they
have something to exchange. The reserve
clause will not be honored by the new or
ganiZation, and unless man has signed a
contract his future is problematical.

There is not much style about big Sam, but

NEXT YEARS CIRCUIT.
Br0OkIyn's Failure to Draw May
Cause Transfer Of "Superbas" to
WaShin

There will not be much surprise in the
base ball world if the Brooklyn club or,
rather the team, Is transferred from
Brooklyn to some other city before next
season starts, says the Pittsburg Press.
If there is to be a reduction of the league
circuit there is certain to be effort made
to have the coming champions out of
Brooklyn, for they have to a great ex-
tent been financial failures this year at
the city of churches.
There is now no effort to deny the fact
that the club has not made within 30 per
cent of what was expected when the sea-
son started. About mid-season there We're
strong denials of any statement that was
made to this effect. But the truth has
come out in its full strength.
The patrons of the game in Brooklyn
so far have not enthused little bit since
ii was plain that the team would win the
pennant this year. There have been the
strongest kind of endeavors to stir up a
feeling among the Brooklyn admirers Of
the game ard give the players a great
reception, but SO far these efforts have
been extremely futile.
A few days ago President Robson of the
St. Louis club stated that it was posi-
BILE that the league would buy out the
Washington club and put the Brooklyns
into the capital. Some of the magnates
do not like this plan, but it is safe to say
that il the real manipulators of the or
ganiZation determine to have such change
made it will occur.
When the season started 1t was thought
that the games between the New York
and Brooklyn teams would realize lots of
money. They have been dismal failures
mostly because the Giants, as they are
amusingly called, have been unable to
play even reasonably good ball during
the entire season. This fact has assisted
in forming the notion that the Brooklyn
team should be transferred to some other

Weather Prospects.

PHILADELPHIA, September 27-The
international cricket match between Prince
Kumar Shrie Ranjitsinhjis English eleven
and the twenty-five colts picked from the
various clubs of this city, which was begun
on Monday, was resumed today. Clear and
cold weather prevailed. The attendance,
which has been light. much better to-
day, and there was a fair crowd present
when play was started. with prospects of
a good crowd this afternoon. The sun and
the brisk wind have dried out the crease,
and its condition is excellent for good
cricket.
When stumps were drawn yesterday the
Philadelphia youngsters had been disposed
of for a total of 205 runs in their first in
ming, and the Englshmen had lost three
wickets for SO runs.
Prince "Ranji'' and Stoddart, the over
night batsmen, each of whom had made
three runs when play was stopped yester-
day resumed their places at the wickets
and faced the bowling of Climens and
O'Neill.
