SUPERINTENDENT HAMMOND.

Sheep Creek fs across the channel from the Ready Bullion mine and stamp mill. It is only few miles from Douglas City. Formerly the Howell Gold Mining Go. owned the property located at that place, but, few years ago it weut into the hands of the American Gold Mining Go. It, is the mission of the News to let the people know something about the mines of Southeastern Alaska and with that ob- iect in view representative of this pa per made preparations for a trip to the mines located at that place, and at l1:45 a. m. last Thursday we walked the gang plank of the Flosie and soon we were on our way.
 Capt. Tibbetts was in charge of the handsome little craft. Good natured and happy and as good as he is good looking. He brought the Flosie up from Seattle and handles her as easily a child does a toy. A short stop was made at Treadwel where the saucy lit tie Lucy lay with steam up. Capt. Mar tin poked his head out of the wheel house and exchanged greetings with the writer. There was a time when the Captain got red around the neck and ] back of his ears every time he saw the editor of the News-it was after we l published an account of the experience the Lucy had in a storm this winter l but the Captain has become used to the enterprise displayed by the editors of 1 the great religious weekly in getting news and the hatchet was buried some 1 time ago.
 But we were going to Sheep Creek,and away we went, the little Flosie striking tweIve-mi gait. We had never been 1 to the Sheep Creek mines so we fol. . lowed the first wagon track we saw and l it led us up along the creeks banks. | 1t was warm day and the grade is a good lonesome 300 feet iu little more than mile. We didn't take any sum mer clothes along-we wished we had before we got there About oDe-halt mile from the stamp mill we met man.
 "PIease tell me how far to the stamp mill" said the writer.
 "About half mile, was the answer, and off went our overcoat off. We had never met the man before, but he was such fine, portIy, good natured look ing fellow that we wanted to know more of him and we handed him our card It was Supt. F. c. Hammond we were talk ing to. The Farallon lay at the dock to load the sulpherets and it was neces- sary for him to be there. This we both regretted but he supplied the means for us gaining all the information we were in need of and arranged for our comfort at the home of the steward.
 We were at the assay office where MT. ". L. Jehu is in charge. This de partment is in a separate building and 1 is very complete If Mr. Jehu is as good in the line of his profession as he | is in treating a visitor, he is all right He, too, had to go to the wharf, but not until the ceremony of extending to us the freedom of the plant had been com pleted.
 On entering the stamp mill, we met the foreman, Mr. J. c. Warner, and for the first time we met some one we knew | He knew that a knowledge of the mill was the only thing that would satisfy us and we went from basement to the ceiling, Way up number of flights oi

The Y.,P. s. c. E. meeting at the Con- gregational church last Thursday even ing was one of the best services it has ever been our good fortune to attend. MT. r. w. Hoyt, who was to have led the meeting, having gone to Juneau, Mrs. Rev. Wirt took charge and did splendid service ill her interpretation of the subject, "Self-Mastery," Cor. 9;24-27. The members present, added many good thoughts to the subject and nearly everyone had some word of tes- timony. Several new members were elected and pledged to the work. Next Thursday the subject will be "True Penitence," II Cor. 7:1.l1, and will be led by Miss Mary Hampton.

NJ. Demange wanted M. de Freycinet
to repeat in court his statements made
in the chamber of deputies in regard to
the small Importance attaching to the
alleged treason; but M. de Freycinet
declined to repeat they, saying that the
court could, however, indicate the sense
of his speech. In his opinion most OF
the leakages could only have been OF
infinitesimal importance, though the
information relative to covering OF
troops might have been important. The
publication of secrets relating to arm

While the revision of the playing

has been we'll received, some of the
changes in the scoring rules are being
made the subject of adverse criticism.
The changes TO which greatest objec-

length of the summary. Here is what

ing of the association will be held al
Glasgow, Scotland, next July, in con-
nection with the worlds championship
races. A reporter was advised by Pres
ident Potter the other day that it was
uncertain whether Chairman Mott will
go abroad to the international meeting.
This indecision adds to the uncertainty
OF the plans of the American associa-
ton al relation to a foreign team. In
talking over the question Mr.. Potter
practically admits that the League will
not assume the entire expense Of send
ing over foreign team. He says that
the cost per man for such trip will
be at least $500. and he feels that the
association would act injudiciously in
spending large amount of money on
sHch venture. Mr.. Potter, however,
makes no recommendation for the l..
A. W. to invite the cooperation Of the
manufacturers for the purpose.

variance AS correct as thunder,
gentlemen. But while you are about
it, why didn't you seek TO simplify the
rules SO that correct record Of the
game could be kept by even the densest
scorer? OF all statistics in scoring
earned runs are the most valuable
Properly kept earned runs accurately
reflect the efficacy of the pitchers and
proves of the batsman. Earned runs
the coming season will afford a cri-
terion neither for the pitcher nor the
batsman. The rule has been changed
by striking out the words unaided by
errors in the second line and SUBSTITUTE
ing the words by aid OF base hits only
If the letter of the amended rule is
followed by the scorers it will be pos
sible for a club to make fifty runs
without earning one. and at the same
time the other side may play without
a fielding or battery error For in
stance, Delehanty may open an inning
with three-base hit and come in on q
long fly to the outfield II the next two
men go out Delehantys run is not
earned because ii was not made by the
aid of base hits only And yet the
team in the field made no error. OBJ
viously unearned runs are those made
by or with the aid of fielding or bat
terry errors. It is equally obvious.
then, that all runs scored without the
aid of fielding or battery errors should
be earned And until the league makes
that the rule the pitching averages
won't be worth the paper on which
they are printed"
