THE TIMES BASEBALL
GUESSING CONTEST
Great Interest and Wide Speculation
Concerning the Opening Game.

Concerning the Opening Game.
The Morning Times offer Of free season
tickets to the baseball games is attract
ing attention everywhere.
With the very first announcement
guesses began to come in with a rush. and
their number is increasing by jumps and
bounds This mornings mail brought in
hundreds OF letters containing On an aver
age ten gUesses each. Many contain only
two OF three. but IN several cases the
envelopes contained as high as hun
bred.
Two guessers are following out svs-
TEN that if persisted in ought to land
them near 3 season ticket. For instance
one started at 4,025. and then continued
his guesses by adding fifty for each sue-
eeeding guess For instance his second
guess was 4,075, mis- third 4,125. and so on
The whole Of Washington seems 70 be
taking interest in The guessing. Judging
by the addresses given by the guessers-
They are from all parts of the city and
the guessing does not seem TO be con
hned 10 any class of people or to anv
age The old are evidently trying their
powers OF prophecy as well as the Young
Ladies are not absent from the contesr
either. and the girls are already showing
an interest in the national game that
bids we'll for the success of the season.
Nashingt6- * not alone in its interest
IN the Senators, DuJ Maryland and Viz
g1nia are also bidding for those season
tickets
The guesses as they arrive are being
carefully assorted. and stored away TO
await the official decision as to the exact
number of paid admissions Whether
that number VIII be as low as 600 or
as high 1900, both of which numbers
are among the guesses, or higher or low
e, and there are surely some friends of
baseball in Washington who are san
guine enough to guess higher, the official
returns from the game on opening day.
Aprd q VIII decide who are the lucky
ones.

THREE FOR A DOLLARS.

Twenty-Five or thirty years ago Mo- jave county, in the northern part of the territory, was a busy section. Many mines were being worked. wages were good and everybody had money
 There were no railroads then in the country, all the merchandise used coming from California via the c. Y. route, then up the Colorado river to Hardyville from which place it was hauled by teams, and distributed throughout the country. Mineral Park was the county seat and the largest set clement in the county. It was neces- sarily the center of attraction, both politically and otherwise, and it was the main supply point for many min- ing camps within range of fifty miles in all directions.
 It may be guessed that prices kept pace, as is usual in all new mining camps. A drink of the commonest kind of home made whisky or a cigar manufactured from the poorest grade

of cabbage leaf, commanded twenty five cents. All else, no matter whcth- CT a pound of bacon, coffee, sugar, candles or what not, was invariably three for a dollar; postage stamps and envelopes being the only exception 10 the rule. It cost g. to Lave an assay made. but as the ores were as q rule rich, no complaint was ever heard. Many prospectors and leasers made handsome stakes in comparatively short time, and as Is customary in such cases, they put the money in circu- lation.
 Breon and Spear were the leading merchants in the county, and they ac- quired wealth rapidly. They were the post traders at Fort Mojavc, a three company post and the soldiers and miners were comparatively at their mercy. They also owned quartz mill at the Park, and they only charged S50 per ton for treating ore. They also purchased rich ore, and paid for it in cheeks on San Francisco, but if any of the boys wanted cash for their. checks, they would accommodate them by discounting their own paper ten per cent. They were both chris tians and philanthropists, and it is no wonder they amassed wealth rapidly. Breon retired from business when the railroad came along. and old Bro. Spear went crazy counting his money. It was rumored and currently accred- ited that if d batch of custom ore pan ned out unusually well, Breon and Spear collected 7J per cent in toll i. e. of four pounds Of bullion were pro- duced, they only took three-quarters of it for themselves. This in counec- tion with other business transactions of like nature gave use to the term three for a dollar, by which name the E. X 5. establishment was known.
