The infielders played a fast, snapppy
game, handling grounders, flys and
liners with equal ease. None of the
outfielders had much work to do. Fer

SEEKING THE MOTHER LODE.
Patient Work OF Veterans In the
Baker City Gold Fields.

Just half a mile north of the Sumpter
and Granite Blue mountain road near the
very apex where the road passes over the
altitude Of 5000 feet, two veteran miners
have been pegging away for more than
two years on claim which they verify be-
lieve will some day prove to be one Of tile
best mines in the Sumpter gold fields. says
the Sumpter American. The group Is
known as the King Bee group.
There are many who believe that the
source OF supply OF much OF the placer
dirt Astounding In this district is near the
summit of the Blue mountains. From the
highest altitude there branch off canyons
and gorges in various directions and along
the bottom OF these and even on the steep
slopes Is to be found rich placer gold.
Among those who believe that the source
of this gold may be near at hand are
Charles Conkle and Samuel May. More
than three years ago they made a leca-
ton near the summit guided by rich ledge
matter in place which was discovered on
the surface. They have since kept up
their work and today are cutting lsdge
ten feet in diameter and which pans q
string of gold indicating that $100 a ton
would be about the proper value of the
ledge matter.
They are now about 200 feet in on their
tunnel and have attained depth Of about
$50 feet. The vein they are now on. which
yields heavy string of gold, Is not the
one they started for. While this one show
ed dimly on inc surface, the other is much
broader and more promising and they ex-
pect to reach It by extending their tun-
mel fifty or sixty feet farther, owing to the
DIP OF the ledge

FLOUR TRUST IN DANGER.
RumOrs of Impending DisintegratiOn
Denied by Omcials.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.--The Herald says:
1t is persistently rumored, in various
quarters, that the United States Flour
Milling Company is in imminent danger of
disintegration. The report has it that the
methods of the officials Of the company
are severely criticised and that the open
dissatisfaction is likely to result in the at
tempted withdrawal of the Hecker-Jones-
Jewett Milling Company and of the North
western Milling Company.
1t was said last night that an attempt,
which now promises success. is being made
to place the trust on better financial
basis and that a large working capital Is
to be provided, In which case the secession
movement will be checked.
officials of the company, when seen yes
terday denied. in positive terms, that
there is any probability Of disinteEration.
They admitted that there had been PROPOSE
lions to purchase certain of the mills con-
trolled by the company, and fully con-
firmed the story that a plan is well under
way, which will provide ample working
capacity and which will place the company
upon a sound financial basis.
A conference was held at the Waldorf
Astoria last evening. after which it was
confidently predicted that the financial
plans would be perfected and the desired
capital Immediately obtained.

Thirty-two Feet Of Copper Ore That

the Existence of Two Parallel

It Is almost never in copper mining that
q property is self-supporting until at least
100000 has been invested In development.
The Cornell on Texada island Is one Of the
very few copper mines which have paid
from the grass roots. As a matter Of fact,
in taking out the ore from the surface. tho

was OF suficient value for shipping. The

another tunnel was run into the hill which
tapped large, rich ore body running In
the same direction as that In No. 1. which
gave the company the impression that It
was the same lead. Subsequently to de-
termine this, point, a tunnel at lower level
was run about half way between the two
original tunnels to determine whether or
not the vein really did run from one work
ing TO another.
After the cross-cut had gone into the
hill about 40 feet Of fine ore was encoun-
tered. Not content with tracing both pays
OF this vein the manager continued the
cross-cut and further In another vein was
encountered. The latter was apparently
the vein met In No. tunnel while the
former was the one encountered In No. 1.
It was demonstrated, therefore. by these
workings that there are two parallel veins
IN the Cornell.
Work is being pushed along vigorously
on both, the next move being to remove
debris from about Emily lake to find where
the vein enters in order to get still lower
tunnel level for the removal Of ore. The
values are remarkable, the copper being OF
very high grade. while the gold averages as
high as $50 per ton.

NEARLY 500 EMPLOYED.
Number of Men Working In ana
About the Republic Mines.

The mines and mills of Republic employ
more than 400 men. Including all of the
prospects and properties working in a
small way, from which informal ton is not
readily obtainable. with the wood men, the
list will probably run up to 475. If present
indications may be depended upon, there
will be 100 more men at work In the camp
thirty days hence than are now employed
A list of the number of men employed by
the various mines and mills has been made
UP upon information received from mine
superintendents whenever possible. and
from sources which were considered reli-
able when the superintendent could not
be seen. 1t shows 400 men employed by
the mining companies in various capaci-
ties. 1t Is safe to say that others not here
listed would swell the total to 425. The
wood choppers and haulers number about
fifty. It is within bounds to say that the
pay roll of the camp carries AS names
About 300 are miners. The others are me-
chancs and wood men, The mechanics
all draw high wages, and the wood men
low. The miners receive $3.50 day in all
cases. 1t is safe to say the average daily
wage Of the entire camp is 50 a day The
daily disbursement Is. therefore, 81 425, or
&2; 40 a month, and at this rate It is over
half million dollars per annum.
Following Is the list of the number of
men employed at the principal mines:
