Pittsburg, Pa, FebruarY 1.-THE
rivers Will rise slightly as a result OF
Yesterdays rains, but the rivermen are
not looking for a breakup for several
days. The coal operators are more
a~pprehensive about the craft at down
river points than theY are at Pitts
burg and in the pools Of the Monon-
gahela. There is not SO much danger
in the upper valleys. Riyermen look
for the small streams emptying into
the Ohio to le. go first, and if this
should be the case, no great amount
Of damage would occur to down-river
craft. y
This morning w. II. Browns Sons
ordered the Cruiser to break the ice in
the first pool, and she was assisted by
the Volunteer, If the Brown line, and
the Clifton. owned by G. lutte & Co.
The Cruiser has a steel hull and she
made the ice fly. The ice is from 6 to
10 inches thick. The Acorn and Mel
lie Walton are breaking the ice in the
second pool. This is being done al
both places to relieve the floating craft
and make them more secure from the
danger Of a breakup. The Isaac NJ.
Mason was breaking the ice yesterday
at Brownsville.
The pool boats Little Bill. Cyclone,
Delta and Harry P. Jones, which have
been all week trying to get to Pitts
burg from the fourth pool, resumed
their journey this morning and sue
ceeded in reaching lock No. ? at 1870
a. N. As the ice is being cleared in
pool No. l the boats are expected to
reach Pjttsburg tonight. The ice
broken in the lower pools OF the
Monongahela river is running owe the
dam at lock No. / and was to-day pass
ing u through the Pittsburg harbor.

Pittsburg, Pa, February IL
Tonight coal operators and steamboat
owners who have been looking for a
food were assured by the weather bu-
reau officials that all danger is over
for the present, At II o'clock there
was a trlhe over AZ feet of water il
the Ohio at Davis Island dam, and the
river was stationary. In the afternoon
it was thought the Ohio was beginning
to rise, but tonight reports do not
show any indications of a change.
There is no rain to-day.
The indications for tomorrow are
for partly cloudy weather, with little
or no change in the temperature. The
thaw to-day was very gradual. The
work Of ice-breaking by towboats il
the first and second Monongahela
pools started the ice out Of that river.
From the way the big cakes slipped
into the Ohio, the weather bureau Of
ficials predict that it would take forty
eight hours Of steady rain to make q
flood. This was cheering news to The
rivermen. Many coal operators feaf
the heavy ice being pushed into the
Ohio may cause a gorge. To prevent
this boats will be sent down to keep
the ice moving. The steamers caught
with tows in the vicinity Of Marietta,
Petersburg and other places are
thawing out. If the present weather
continues it is thought they will free
themselves.
Capt. John F. bravo, one Of the
Oldest rivermen here, said this evening
there would be no food. He thinks the
small streams emptying into the Ohio
will let go first. If they do no great
damage will occur to Ohio river craft.
Greensboro, on the MonOngahela, is
the only up river point that shows re-
ports CT a rise.

,n's sport here, and it is not beyond

son'e sport here, and it is not beyond
the probable that it may be so decided.
The schedule committee is composed of
Messrs. Powers, Strobe and Torryson.
The fact that Mr.. Howell, with his
usual good judgment, has decided to
bring the team here as a whole should
augment it's chances for fast work. The
boys are all acquainted with each 9th
er's name of playing and the team
work is certain to be more satisfactory
than could be expected with an entire
ly new aggregation. The team is in
tact with the exception of first base,
and lines are out to fill that vacancy.
AS was stated previous to the New
Castle meeting, Jack Glasscock and
Sammy Nichols were candidates for a
franchise and wanted to conduct a
team here in Wheeling, but now that
Mr.. Howell has knocked the persim-
mon, there is no bad feeling or jeal-
ousy upon the part Of those gentlemen
or their friends, and all will give their
best influence to promote the interests
Of the team.
In speaking Of Jack Glasscock, the
following from the st. Louis Sporting
News is pertinent. The News says:
Jack Glasscock, cid pebble Jack"
and "Battleax,' dies hard. He was
ever a scrappy player, and fought to
the last ditch on the diamond, and now
that his death kneIl has been sounded,
and he is no longer considered fast
enough for Western League teams, he
is making strenuous efforts to catch on
in smaller circuits. His latest move is
TO apply for the position Of manager of
a Western association team, although
he is willing to put a team in Wheel
ing if the Interstate League will give
him a franchise.
Jack feels this is an unkind thrust
from an old and trusted friend. He
says he is willing to let his three years
record with the Western League show
for itself, and the fact that he now has
several good offers from the same
league proves that his death knell"
has not been sounded except by the
metallic yellow which Managing Editor
Spinks wears at the side of his face.
When spinks was here with a show
three years ago he considered Jack
fast enough to drop the flag on q
certain scene and advertised the feature
as a drawing card.

Sam Fitzpatrick, matchmaker of the
Westchester A. c., the only %organiza-
ton which thus far has made a bid for
the Jeffries-Fitz mill, says that there
is no truth in the report that his club
has been looking for grounds and that
the club is willing to pay 81, 900 for the
use Of a suitable site for one week.
Sam declares that the club has a place
to pull off the mill and that a club
house will soon be erected. 1t was said
on good authority yesterday that the
encounter would be held in the after
noon and that there would be a pic
ture privilege" attached to it.
Leslie PIERCE, who is to meet STAN
ton Abbott at the Metropolitan club on
the evening of April 9th, is hard az
work training. and if diligence ard
downright hard work will accom-
plish anything, he should be in the
pink of condition the night he steps
into the ring. His training quarters
are at Frank McCormack's place or
South Chapline street, and he is assist
ed in his preparation by James FO-
garty and Buzz Auber. He is improy-
ing every day and will have a strong
arm and a pair OF supple legs to fur
nish argument for Abbott. The latter
is doing his training at Providence,
R. l., but will be here a few days be-
fore the event comes off.
Ask about half the experts who un-
cork Kisses and yell foul during a
ring contest to give a clear exposition
Of the Marquis Of Queensbury rules,

examination. The referee who can
please everybody outside the ropes has
not yet made his sporting debut. In
one of the local battles Of the winter
the boxers made an agreement to keep
at work until the referee yelled break.
In consequence thereof there was some
bi+t:,1 -, oIi,oo[,o- anl Io-rl1 frO,, +ho
multitude not in touch with the agree
ment that governed. Geo. Siler has
been touching upon the troubles of the
referee. He believes in hitting with
one arm free and in the breakaways.
That was the argument of the man who
refereed the Observation-Disclosures bat
tie, and Chicago boxing clubs like this
ruling.
81 am very glad that the battle has
been arranged, for it will give my de-
tractors, who were not satisfied with
my showing against Bob Armstrong
last summer, an opportunity to judge
s~eriously,' says Giant J%effries, the
California pug. "Fitzsimmons, l must
acknowledge, is a great fighter, and I
know what to expect when l face him.
/ surely think I will win, for I would
not be foolish enough to stack up
against him if I did no. think I had a
chance. I don't know where it Will be
decided" Jeffries says that he will
continue training in a light way for
awhile and will do some boxing and
punch the bag while on the road.
Everything has been set right regard
ing the articles of agreement signed by
Delaney and Julian.

SAN PEDRO DEAL.
A Mine That May Be Sold At An Early


The Gold Standard mine at San Pedro
has been leased for ninety days with an
| option to buy for 800, 900. The deal was
negotiated by w. W.. Robinson who re-
turned to Colorado Springs this morn
ing. He represents a company of
capitalists who own and work mines at
Cripple Creek and elsewhere. 1t is *
pected that a mill will be erected within
thirty days and fifty men will find en-
ployment. There are five veins OF the
property and three feet of low grade
ore between the wall averaging $500 to
SIS per ton. Mr.. Robinson also inspect
ed several other prospects in the vicinity
of San Pedro and found quite a number
of promising claims, situated however,
on grants.
On the Ortiz grant several fine prop
critics could be developed. At present
the mine that is being worked on the
grant is turning out well. After run
ming in refractory ore for a while that
had to be shipped the miners have again
struck free milling ore that is worked at
the mill on the grant.
At the Monte Cristo and San Pedro
the pump is almost finished and con-
siderable machinery will be put up. On
the Teione grant there is a splendid
copper proposition, the ore running 81
to 40 per cent, copper and existing In
large quantities. MI. Robinson found
a number of undeveloped properties
that run about $3.50 in gold and IS pei
cent, copper.
All that is needed to develop the min
ing interests of that section is capital
and the final settlement of the grant
/ question.

4 MINING DECISION
A Oatron Claim That He Still Has a Right
TO Hold,

Judge c. A. Leland has handed down
a decision in the case of Hon. T. b.
Catron VS.. H.. J. Alternately ct al, in
volving the title to the Juanita mining
claim in the Kelly district. The case is
an interesting one, and involves some
nice law points. Mr.. Catron had made
application for patent on this claim,
which was rejected by the United States
land office, after which the defendants
jumped the claim. Mr.. Catron brought
suit at law in ejectment, damages, ETC.,
and also in equity to quiet title. The
defendants entered a demurrer, asking
that the suits be consolidated. The de-
murrer was overruled. The question as
| to the legal duty of a locator as held in
this case is of great interest to the min
err and p%rospector. Judge Leland based
| his decision on a ruling of the supreme
| court of the United States, which holds
that where a party has made applica-
| ton for patent and the application is
! rejected, the locator is not obliged to
do his assessment work on the claim be-
fore January l of the year following.

TELLING E~ASTERNERS.
Ex-Governor Prince. Talking Up New Mex
leo Mining Interests.

In an interview at Flushing, Long Is
land, Ex-Governor Prince said recently:
$50 far as the section with which 1 am
most familiar is concerned, this year
will not be nearly SO prosperous as last
year, the winter having been cold and
the spring backward, which has consid-
erably affected the crops, both fruit and
grain, and has also caused the death of
a large percentage of the young lambs
in the sheep-growing territory. So far
as mining is concerned, the outlook is
very encouraging, and the aggregate
product is expected to exceed any pre-
vious year. The chief interest in this
connection centers in the production of
copper, the great increase in the use of
which in electrical machinery and its
consequent hioh price having caused
the development Of a large number OF
new mineS.'

A Capitol Lot Claimed.

1t is claimed that a piece of land be-
longing to the capitol grounds, and
therefore to the territory, has been
jumped by a saloon-keeper, who intends
to erect a saloon on the grounds. Posts
have been driven by the claimant, and
he has filed a small holding claim for the
possession of the land. 1t is said by
members of the capitol rebuilding COM
mission that the lot belongs to a strip
bought by the territory from Hon. I. B.
Catron. Mr.. Catron also says that to
the hest of his recollection he sold the
land clear down to the river, which
would naturally include the large and
valuable lot. The lot had not been
fenced and was used as a rubbish dump
by those working on the new capitol.
