HANDLED WITHOUT GLOVES.
President Power scores the National
League MaGnates.

Chas e Power, president of the Ameri-
can Association, while it lasted. wrote the
obituary of that organization for his paper,
the Pittsburg Leader, last evening. For ten
years Power was sporting editor of that
paper. In mis- statement wired from New
York. the president uses no gloves. He han
dies the National League magnates rough
ly, and promises more. In part he says
Yes the American Association has
passed away. 1 took hold of the associa-
ton at the earnest solicitation of John T.
Brush chairman of the league circuit COM
mi;tee. who gave me his personal assur-
ance, as well that of four of his fellow
magnates, that the National League would
stand by me and help make the association
a success. We went over the situation
carefully and Mr.. Brush pointed out that
we might have some trouble getting capital
back of the Baltimore club. If youdo said
he we will see you through
IN Baltimore we struck a snag Just as
Brush said we would. We were unable to
interest sufficient capital. Then 1t was that
we came to the National League with the
request that 1t make good its promises.
Brush, Soden and others placed ice on our
necks. Totally disregardng all promises

President of Players Organization
Says Agreement Amounts to Nothing.
Once more the American League is the
ruling power in the base ball world. and
the National League finds itself in as bad
a predicament as it stood before President
Zimmer of the Players Protective Associa-
ton signed the agreement two days ago,
says a special from Cleveland. 1t will be
remembered that before the National
League would accede to the demands of the
players the players executive, Chief
thinner had to make several concessions,
and one was that all players, members of
the National League and national agree
ment clubs not to jump to the Ameri-
can League. thinner signed this agree
ment and the demands We're granted.
From all appearances he has changed his
mind. He expected back home in
Cleveland from the east yesterday, but at
noon Charles SOmers, vice president OF the
American League, who lives IN That city,
received a telegram from thinner dated at
Washington, which proved sensational. 1t
read:
Sign players. The agreement amounts
to nothing"
Somars at once wired thinner back that
he would make the information public, 50
that the players would know just how
they stood.
Il knew when thinner realized the mis-
take he made" said SomerS "he would no.
tify me- He was probably under that Ma
tiOnal League influence when at the meet
ing and was forced to sign the statement.
We will give the National League one OF
the hardest fights it ever had and at the
end will be on top. We don't want to put
the National League out of the business,
for we realize that rivalry will keep up the
interest of the game. All we want to snow
them is that there are other organizations
besides the National League. This we nave
proven to them already, and we shall con-
tinuc TO do So
James Collins, the star third baseman or
the National League, is slated to leave the
Boston National League Club and take hold
of the American League club In that city.
He was offered an eXorbitant salary 10 re-
main with the National League. In 1act' II
vas the largest salary ever offered to a
PLAYER since the brotherhood fight Collins
will be in Cleveland today to confer with
Soucrs on the situation. Whether ne mas
signed a contract with the Boston Ameri-
can League club is not known, but his mis-
sion to this city may tell the story.

prizes the first of which was secured
Thursday by Janowskt, while schechter
took second Alapin and Blackburne. Guns
berg and Mason and Winawer and Scheve
began play yesterday morning. In order to
win third prize Scheve had to beat Wilma
wer, but in case Winawer was victorious
Tschigorin would secure that prize. and in
the event of draw Scheve and Tschigorin
would be tied for third and fourth prizes.
The result Of the game between Gunsbers
and Mason had no bearing on the distribu-
ton of the prizes. but Blackburne by beat
ing Alapin could tie Meses for the sixth
prize The fifth prize belonged to Alapin
Independent Of the result of the games with
Blackburne.
The results of yesterdays session were
as follows: Alapin beat Blackburne and
Mason won from Gunsberg. Winawer and
Scheve drew.

Negro Ben's Secret.

A. Z. Gunther who has charge of the
Keystone Gold & Copper ompany's
properties in the Wickenburg district,
came down on yesterday mornings
rain and is stopping at the CONNER
cial hotel. Being from the vicinity of
the new discovery on the Hatfield Up
ton property, he was, of course eagerly
questioned regarding it and asked If
there we're any late developments. He
had nothing to say except that he
verified all previous reports. The prop
erty has enough gold in sight to make
the present owners rich, as the term is
generally used, and there is every in
dication present to warrant the belief
that the prospect will develop into one
of the big mines of the world.
Assayer Porterie happened along
about the time this little interview
took place, and hearing enough of the
conversation to determine its nature,
he related little incident that may be
kuOWu W uduys uuI ms SNCiehSASoSs
worth repeating for the benefit Of
those who have not heard it:
The story as related by Mr.. Porterie
is one told to him by A. II. Peoples,
who died here few years ago, aud who
was we'll known by all the old timers
in this vicinity as one Of the men who
made mining famous in this country in
the early days. Mr.. Peoples came here
way back before most folks began
keeping record of time, along with
Jack Swilling, Mr.. Bradshaw, after
whom the Bradshaw mountains we're
named, Mr.. Weaver, after whom the
Weaver district was named, and a col
ored man called Negro Ben.
This party and others who we're here
at the time we're among the foremost

time development work will be pushed
vigorously. Contracts have already
been let for running $50 feet of tunnel
on the Starlight mine. Mr.. Nicholson
retained a one.fourth interest in the
property, selling the balance for large
sum of money; even then, he did not
get all the property was worth.-Saf
ford Guardian.
Finletter & Harvey shipped another
carload of ore on Saturday from their
Oak Springs property. They received
returns from their last shipment,
which gave 81 per cent copper. They
will double their working force in a
day or two and will drive their two
lower tunnels ahead, aud at the same
time open a stope. This property Is
the best paying proposition in the dis
trict for the amount of development,
having become a producer from the
grass roots, and when sufficiently and
properly developed promises to become
.one of the large aud paying producers
of the territory. Besides the high grade
there are immense quantities of low
grade ore that will in time be treated
at handsome profit.-Silver Belt.

to explore the Rich Hill and Weaver
districts, and later to make headquaI-
ters at Wickenburg, after that camp
was settled. Mr.. People. told Mr.. Por-
terie that Negro Ben, shortly after his
advent into the country, made a re-
markable discovery that he refused to
talk about or regarding which he re-
fused to take anyone into his conf
dence. He said that the darkey would
stay around Wickenburg for a few
days or weeks until he got broke, then
some night he would suddenly disap-
pear. and, after an absence of two or
three days or possibly week, he
would return in the night with his
burro heavily weighed down with gold
ore. He would spend the next few
days grinding up and washing out his
ore and the proceeds would net him
money enough to pay his little debts
and get on a big drunk. After his
money was exhausted he would repeat
the performance, and so on until his
career was ended.
lie was often watched, in the hope
! that the location of his rich mineral
deposit could be found, but he was al
ways too sly to give himself away. lie
invariably left the camp going west
toward the Harqua Hsla, and returned
from the same direction. When the
big excitement following the discovery
of gold in the Harqua Hala first broke
out. Mr.. Peoples was prone to believe
that Negro Ben's mine was located
somewhere in that region. The only
thing that kept him from thinking so
was the fact that Ben would frequently
make trips so short that he would
hardly have time TO go so far One
day when he was gone more than the
usual length of time bis acquaintance
began to fear he had some mishap, so
a searching party was organized and
his body was found about four miles
west of Wickenburg. There we're IN
mistakable signs that he had been
killed by the Apaches, who in those
days roamed all through the mountains
to the north. His burro, all that was
left of it, was not far away, and the
flesh Of the animal was sliced off with
big knives and probably eaten. The
L carcass of the animal showed cOnclu
g sively that it had been mutilated by
human hands and not by coyotes. The
l. theory was maintained, and there ha
been nothing TO controv TT it, that Bel
l. was the first negro the Apache haC
} ever seen and that they had killed hin
more through superstition than any
. thing else.
IS 1t is now believed by the old timer
u that Negro Ben's rich find was eithe
at, or in the vicinity of, the present biz
strike, north of Wickenburg, and tina
Ben, after going a few miles ives
g turned his steps northward to that 10
g cality. There are lots of rich place
= diggings, or we're, unless they hav
worked out, in that immediate neigh
borhood, and it is not improbable tina
