The game started out as was expected
with the Silver City club leading.
They made two runs in the second in
nings, one in the third, one in the
fourth, and one in the fifth. In all
this time no Lordsburg player had
reached home base. Commencing the
last half of the 9th innings McGrath
went to bat, He was followed by
Robinson, and both scored. This
gave the home rooters a chance to
yell, which they proceeded TO do.
Holliuger went out aud Stewart, Del
mas and Heath each made bases. Ely
followed at the bat and famed out.
Clapp came to the bat with two men
out and three on bases. He got two
strikes called up against him, and
Nesbitt put in one Of his favorlte in
shoots, intending to put him out and
end the innings. Clapp dropped back
a little, cracked the ball and started
for first. The ball lined out over the
left 1elders head, and the yelling COM
menced. When Clapp got his breath
he was on third base and three more
runs had been credited up. Morris
followed, made a base, and Clapp
came ia. McGrath followed and went
out, leaving Morris on a base. Right
here the Lordsburg club discovered
that the Silver Citizens were not in
vincible, aud they proceeded to make
runs, four 10 the sixth, one in the
seventh and Eve in the eighth. When
the Silver City club saw Clapp's three
base hit they concluded they were not
pln1 liN Win tuO ZULU DdJdlu OuN
lungers. Finding they were up
against the real thing they lost their
nerve, and never made another run.
They made several changes with their
players, but could not stop the Lords
burg club from making runs. Both
Perry aud Williams were put in the
pitchers box, but they could not hold
the Lordsburgers down. The follow
ing was the score by innings:

played.
Charles Dawley, umpire.
On the second page of today's paper
will be found an offer OF the Clifton
copper company to sell a limited
amount of its treasury stock at SO per
share. AS has been told before the
Clifton company owns some valuable
mines at Santa Rita. The company
has been working them for some
months, aud while there was an ex
cellent showing when it commenced
operations the ore has increased so
much both in quantity and quality,
as the development proceeded that
the property bids fair to prove one
Of the copper bonanzas of that great
copper deposit. The company is
erecting a concentrating plant which
will handle an hundred tons OF ore
daily, which will be completed In a
few weeks. The plant is so arranged
that after the ore is mined and put
in a car it will not have to be
handled again, all Of the work being
automatic. A switch from the Santa
MIA road will run to the mill, the
concentrates loaded directly on the
cars, and shipped to the Silver City
smelter. The smelter being so near
that it will be cheaper for the com
pauy to send its ore to the smelt-
er than to erect one for gifts own use.
John l.. Burnside has charge OF the
work of the company, being its presi-
dent. His business ability and econo.
my are so well known IN Grant comfy,
where he was so long treasurer and
collector that all win be satisfied thai
no company money will be wasted.
but all will be put to the best advan
tage. The LIBERAL has heard a great
deal about the mines and the com
pany from those who are interested
and from outsiders, who have no in
terest in the property, but are &C
quainted with the mine and it is hare
to say which class is the most enthui
astlc. The stock Of this company is
undoubtedly, a good thing to have il
the family.
