TO MEET IN NEW YORK.
Convention of the Various Minor
Leagues Today.

Baseball affairs in the South promise to be
either greatly simpiifed greatly complicated
today at the second annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues.
When Charlie Frank began defying all the
authorities in the ST. Vrain affair, Secretary
Farrell of the National Association took the
matter up and after some spicy correspond
ence with Frank land the Memphis hackers,
the result was that Frank was blackiisted by
the association Now the attempt to organize
an opposition league In the South Is believed
to be purely and simply a big game of blum
by Frank. In other words. a desperate play
to get himself reinstated In the Southern
League AS has been stated in The Advertiser
the National Association has become power
In the baseball leagues and now the minor
bodies are entirely dependent of the National
and American Leagues. Just what will be done
in the Frank case at the New York meeting
of the Association today is not known, but

Anthracite from Arkansas.
MONTGOMERY. ALA

Little Rock (Ark) Gazette.
The great anthracite coal strike in
Pennsylvania is working to the advantage
Of Arkansas in creating a new demand
for the anthracite and emi-anthracite
Of this State. Arkansas anthracite is sell
ing at Kansas City for $50, against $3.50
a year ago. At last consumers seem to
adinit the contention of the companies
mining Arkansas coal that it's anthracite
Is as good for base-burners as the Penn
syiyania article, and that the Arkansas
semi-anthracite is the best coal FOR fur
naces 1t Is said that in st. Louis the
Arkansas coal has cut in two the con-
sumption of Pennsylvania coal. Better
than the temporary advance in the price
OF Arkansas coal is the probability that,
having established itself in the st. Louis
and Kansas City markets, 1t cannot be
opsfed by the Pennsylvania article

feat Dickinson.

Annapolis. Md, Oct. 22.-In hard
fought contest here this afternoon the
naval cadets football eleven defeated the
University of Pennsylvania by score
of 10 to 6. Except during a portion OF
the first half, the Middies played all
around their famous Big Four rivals
The Red and Blue were never In the
hunt and showed that they must i'm
prove wonderfully to keep In select COM
pany. Their line was woefully weak and
except for some good work by Gardner,
Bennett. Fortiner and Richardson. they
would have been outclassed throughout.
The Navy team PLAYED good ball except
for a little slowness In getting off their
plays. The line did not charge with suf-
ficient force, and the backs, as rule.
got off slowly. The Quakers twice tried
their famous quarterback kick, but IN
both instances Smith was too quick for
the opposing ends.
In the second half Wilson made a
touchdown after some fine gains by the
backs In this half the Quakers were
completely outplayed.
Princeton, N. j., Oct. 22.-In a closely

THE MANSFIELD.

The work Of sinking the new shaft
at this property is just getting well
under way and after this month it is
expected that the miners at this pro-
perty will have something 70 say about
records in sinking shafts. II must be
remembered, though, that the men in
this shaft have tough opposition
ahead of them in the line of ground TO
sink through. The rock is diorite-
the pure stuff and hard as flint so
that their work will have TO be com
pared with the work of other workmen
in the same natured material.
The output Of the mine will be cur
tailed TO quite an extent this year but
the work OF opening up will be pushed
to the limit. Already work has been
started opening up a new level, the
18th, Notwithstanding the fact that
there are a couple of levels of ore stan
ding untouched now. Thus il will be
seen that when the new shaft is ready
there viii be- several levels Of ore ahead
70 draw from and then il WILDE simply
a question Of the ability of the engine
to pull the ore that can be brought TO
the shaft. We understand that the old
shaft will be dropped another lift SO
as to facilitate the opening up opera
ti0ns
There will be great deal of ore
taken out of the north end of the mine
for shipment but none will be taken
from the south end, the ore in that
part of the property being left to pro-
tect the old shaft

mixed ore and jasper is still the
material being handled. Mr.. Roberts

visit that there had been n change of
ground for the better and that the
material being hoisted is three-q quarters
ore. The shaft will be continued down
to depth Of 100 feet or more before
any drifting will he done as at that
depth Mr.. Robrets feels that something
can be told Of the proable outcome of
the exploration However. he feels
quite confident that the shaft will be

FROM THE MINES
THE LAMONT.

THE LAMONT.
1t will be pleasing intelligence TO
the people of Crystal Falls TO know
that ere many moons nave passed this
property will again enter the list Of
the shippers and, better. that it Will
be bigger shipper than ever before
in its history. When our reporter visit
ed the property last Wednesday he
found Mr.. Marsh and crew Of men
busy on the grade for the spur track
that IS to connect the Mansfield branch
of the Northwestern with the Lamont
property. This spur will branch off
the aforementioned branch about ten
rods east of the iron bridge that cross
es the Paint river and will run east
10 the new shaft. The job is not a
yery great one and will be complete
and ready for the rails next week.
Besides the pocket track he will con-
struct a spur TO coal dock that will
he erected close to the engine house
a little TO the south of the pocket spur.
This coal track will branch off the
pocket track few rods 10 the east OF
the junction Of that spur with the
main track.
Underground they are continuing the
shaft, down an additional 90 feet TO the
eighth level of the mine. This level
has not yet been opened in the old
shaft but VIM had been sunk prepa-
tory TO the raising Of the shaft before
the mine suspended operations. In
fact, about the only work done on the
seventh level was the opening Of the
drifts so that whole level Of ore
stands there to be sent up and If they
open up the eighth level at once they
will have two levels TO hoist from.
This ought TO give the mine a great
start.
II have worked in shafts on all Of
the Superior ranges said Captain
Carlson, Z" But / have never had such
a hard job as we had here in this
shaft. The ground has been some
hard to make any progress but we are
now over the worst Of il and expect
soon to have some compensation for
our hard work Of the last year and "A
half Mr. Carlson has had charge of
the shaft since the operations were re-
sumed at the property coming here
from Ely where he worked many years
for the Minnesota Iron Co.. He was
formerly an Ishpeming man and worked
in that city for eighteen years
But, TO return TO the mine itself Mr..
Carlson ~ very enthusiastic over il
and says that ore could be hoisted now
if the shaft house was ready. That
very necessary part will not be ready
for some few weeks as the timbers for
it are TO come from Washington, there
being no timber suitable for the pur-
pose in this vicinity The shaft house
will be seventy feet high and modern
in every respect. There will be two
pockets Of sufficient capacity TO hold
a few carloads Of ore in case that cars
are not at hand.

our visit and we were told that the
chances were q at IL would he below
