A CLOSE CALL.
Frank stribley Has a Remarkable Ex
perience in the Kennedy Mine.

On Saturday morning last Frank
Stribley met with an experience in the
Kennedy mine that will live in his
memory for life. He was employed at
the east shaft, and was in the act of
descending the shaft in the skip to the
24OO foot station. When about 200 feet
from the bottom, the skip went away
at breakneck speed, and he realized
at once that the engineer had lost con-
troll OF it. The engine is rather light
for such depth, and is to be replaced as
soon as possible with machinery more
In accordance with the work to be per-
formed. Frank had little time to think.
He knew that his life was in peril; that
II he remained in or upon the skip
when 1t reached the bottom he would
probably be killed. He did the best
thing possible under the circumstances.
He clutched the rope as far above the
skip as he could reach, and held on to
it, freeipg himself entirely from the
skip. In this way he went down the
zoo feet. AS it was, he was severely
jolted and bruised when he reached the
bottom. Assistance reached him speed
lily, and DR.. gall was summened. At
irst 1t was thought that the knee cap
was broken, but this happily proved
incorrect. He was severely shaken up,
but not seriously hurt. He was able to
get around with the aid Of a cane the
following day, and relate his wonder
full escape to his many inquiring friends.

MINING NEWS.

- LIVE OAK.-This promising mine is
in Pioneer district, about half a mile
above the Defender. 1t is being work
ed by Messrs. Trackwell and Harmon,
who are sinking and tunneling on the
vein. 1t is reported to be one of the
most encouraging prospects to be found
in the upper mining belt. The ledge
is reported to be from to feet thick,
with a seam of heavily sulphurretted
ore about Is inches wide. A crushing
of the ordinary ledge, consisting of a
little over five tons, was made at the
Stirnaman mill recently, and the re-
turns from the mint were Sll3.97-or
over $40 per ton. This was independ-
ent OF the sulphuret ore, which Is not
sent to the mill, and is believed to
carry much higher values.
KENNEDY.-J.F F. Parks, the superip-
tendent of the Kennedy, returned last
week from his visit to the mining
centers of the east and other points.
During his absence he visited the Lake
Superior copper mines, also the large
mining plants at Butte City, Montana,
and various camps in Colorado and
Rossland, British Columbia. The pur-
pose OF his trip was to see the latest
and most approved machinery for min
ing hoists and milling plants, so that
the Kennedy company might have the
advantage thereof in the new hoist to
be erected over the east shaft. In the
drift west from the east shaft, to striko
the ore body, the east ledge has been
encountered. 1t is smaller in size than
in other parts of the mine, but of much
higher grade. They are now running
for the main ledge, and expect to tap
it within the next few days. We
understand that steps will be taken
Immediately to proceed with the new
hoist. The mine is looking well
throughout
ARGoNAUT.-No decision has been
reached by the United States supreme
court in the suit of Argonaut versus.
Kennedy. The court has adjourned
for the term. 1t will not reassemble
until October, so that a decision cannot
be looked for before that time. The
sinking operations in the shaft will be
completed in few days, and it is ex-
pected that shutdown will then take
place until final decision is reached in
the law suit.

Picnic Postponed.

The Italian picnic, which was adver-
tised to take place last Sunday, was
postponed until next Sunday, on ac-
count of the threatening aspect of the
weather. The heavy rains which pre-
vailed during Saturday, led the
managers to postpone the affair. The
postpouement came too late to counter
mand some of the arrangements. j..
Almagia, the editor of italia" of San
Francisco, who was selected as the
orator of the day in the Iatlian
language, was already on his way
before Saturdays storm broke, and
reached here that evening. He was
accompanied by his wife, and the party
were met at the depot by Wm. Tam
aud driven to Jackson, Every effort
was made to let the people know of the
postpOnement. Nevertheless quite a
number came from San Andreas Sat-
urday evening, and several from other
parts of Calaveras county arrived Sun
day morning, to take in the festival,
only to learn that it had been put off
for week. The weather Sunday was
fine all day, but the grass and the
ground were wet from the soaking of
the previous day, and it was we'll that
the celebration had been deferred. A
large attendance is looked for next
Sunday. The amusement program,
the literary exercises, and the provision
made for gratifying the appetite were
never better than for the forthcoming
gala day next Sunday.

particularly friendly with defendant,
but had no unfriendly feeling toward
him. He saw defendants picture in
the rOgue's gallery in San Francisco.
1t was not in the book, but in a pack
age OF portraits kept outside of the
regular book. When asked whether
he knew the custom of the city authori-
ties in regard to the removal of a
picture from the books, he replied that
he did not.
j. M. Kile, attorney of Stockton,
testified in relation to telephone COM
munication with sheriff Gregory March
10. He had telephoned with Macquar-
rie also that day. Never wrote a letter
of introduction for such person as J..
d. w. Singleton.
A. Kingsbury, publisher of the
Stockton directory, testified there was
no such name as j. D. w. Singleton on
the directory Of that city published for
the year 1901.
c. II. Keagle, cashier of the Farmers s
and Merchants bank of Stockton, said
the bank had done business with de-
fendant, but no person named ]. d. w.
Singleton ever had an account at the
bank. Was acquainted with defend
ants signature. A number of checks
were shown witness, and the signatures
thereon were identified as defendants
writing. Defendant had an account in
the Farmers and Merchants bank
from 1895 till 1901. In his opinion the
disputed check, including the signature
of j. d. w. Singleton, was in the de-
fendant's handwriting. Based this
opinion on the similarity OF the writing
in the disputed document with other
writings of defendant.
c. L. Culbert, county clerk, also
testified that iu his opinion the check
in dispute was written by Macquarrie.

Brush After New Leaoue,

The impression is fast gaining
ground that Brush is scheming for a
new, enlarged league without consult
ing the American League. This is
what George Tebeau is worried over,
and already the Western writer's are
claiming that the National Association
of minor leagues is working with
Brush and the National League to
overthrow the American association.
The American Association came into
the field as purely independent or
ganiZation. with an open fight with
the minor leagues, there is no chance
for a combination between the major
leagues and the minors, with the asso-
citation included. This was plainly
shown when the joint rule committee
met at Buffalo last winter. The good
will and support of the combined min
or leagues meant more to the League
of America than the friendship of one
organization like the American Asso-
citation, and this was bound to tell in
favor of the National Association soon
er or later. and from present informa-
ton much sooner.

AIl-America College Team.

All-America college baseball teams
are now in order, and the following
is submitted as the best to be found
in the Eastern colleges: Clarkson,
Harvard, pitcher; Green, Princeton,
catcher; Pearson. Princeton, first
base; Collier. Pennsylvania, second
base; Orbin, Pennsylvania, shortstop;
Guernsey, Yale, third base; Brown,
Princeton, left field; Barnwell, Yale.
center field; Meier. Princeton, right
field Meier has been playing short
for Princeton this season, but he is
an erratic infielder, whose great hit
ting makes him man who cannot
be overlooked Therefore he could
be used in the outtield. Clarkson
was the most consistently effective
pitcher Of the year and he has more
of the equipments that go to make
a star twirler than any of them.
Lundgren. of Illinois. who has turned
professional, also pitched fine ball.
Some might prefer Winslow of Yale
to Green behind the bat, but Green
did the better work throughout the
season and is veteran. Green and
WinSlow easily excel the others in
throwing to bases. Pearson is the
best hitter fielder and base runner
among the first basemen. Collier at
second does not cover as much ground
as others. but he is a strong batter
and his speed in getting to first makes
him valuable. Orbin at short is fast,
quick on double plays and a lively
player all the time. Guernsey at
third is a good thrower, covers more
ground and handles himself after the
manner of the best professional third
basemen. The outfeld trio are good all
round men. BarnweII is, perhaps, the
best outfielder in the colleges, and
this trio can hit, cover lots OF ground
and throw We'll.

Public Wants Good Playina.

The accusation often has been made
again certain ncluding
the owners of the Cincinnati club
that they do not try to get players for
their teams, preferring to win the pub
lie patronage with ordinary players to
paying large salaries for stars. Presi-
dent Dreyfus. who, in his career in
the National League, has handled big
losers and big winners. makes the as
Sertion that a team of top-notch play
ers, no matter how much they are
paid, are a much better investment
than a team of mediocre men. Base
ball is as much an amusement enter
prise as the theatrical business" said
MI Dreyfus, and must be conducted
much in the same way. The public
want the best, and are willing to pay
for it. Take our team, for instance.
1t costs us much more to run it than
any other team in the league. In fact,
our expenses on the season will not
so much below 100000. Yet we con-
slider thGt money well invested, for by
paying out a large sum for talent we
more than get back what we have in
vested the greater the inveStm ent
the greater the returns. If the other
clubs in the league would pay as
much attention to their teams as they
do 20 legfslatins for them. all of them
would fare better in a financial way.
There is no sense to the report that
any club-ownerS are satisfied with
weak or cheap team-the only
trouble with the majority of owners
tnat they pay too much attention to
the legislative end of base ball and not
enough to the sporting end. .'-Cincin'
