ODD NAMES FOR TINES.


 Some times the slightest incl dent gives to a mine or a mining district a very odd name. This is particularly so in the United States and, furthermore, what ever name is designated on the , location notice that name must stand in all records regardless of orthography or any other consid- eration so long as It does not strike upon the rock of obscenity. The writer calls to mind an in stance where a prOspectOr locat- ed d claim which he wished to name after martyr president of the United States and he wrote upon the location notice in crude chirography, 'Linken. When he called upon the county re- corder to have the location re- corded his duplicate showed the name spelled in that way; the original was in little tin baking powder can ''in d monument of stones" away out in the noun tainS and therefore the name had to go on the big book, ''Linken. 7" Had the ''mine" become second Little Pittsburg" or "Ophir' or "Capote, there would have been some regret and possibly there might have been enough legal red tape unwound to have car ried out the locator's wishes. But then a great many claims are located which never become famous.
 In Mexico mines are more gen erally named for persons or places than in the United States. And as a general thing the names are more correctly spelled, for the reason that in most cases the original papers are made out by some one other than the diScov- erer and locator.
 Cripple Creek mines got the name from the fact that crip- pied prospector camped for a long time on the banks of the then nameless stream, now known as Cripple Creek, and eventually discovered rich float.
 The Bob Tail" mine at Black Hawk, Colorado, which has pro- duced millions of dollars, got it's name from a trifing incident. The prospector who located the claim, while tracing the ledge, came upon a bob tail bull leisure ly feeding at point near where he placed his discovery monu- ment" and the incident provided an odd name for the location notice.
 But nearer home we have other odd names. And this Is especI- ally the case in southern Ari- zona. Up about Mammoth we find the "Old Hat district. Years ago number of ''tar heels" from North Carolina set tied there for the purpose of prospecting and truck farming on the San Pedro. They all wore the broad trimmed white hat seemingly much Tn favor with men from that state. Their suc- cess dld not become burdensome and eventually from the effects of time and rough usage those hats became old and considerably ''fiopped-" Thus their neighbor- hood became known as the old hat settlement and finally the "Old Hat" district
 The -FOld Boot mine got it's name from the Shaw brothers. Eugene and M. F. who were, by the way, also North CarolinanS, and selected the name probably, | through having in mind the ''Old l Hat" district further north.

The Sparks base ball team
came up yesterday to try its
fortunes on the Fitzgerald dia-

They had probably read how
Fitzgerald had opened the sea-

beat them, and, from that, con-
Guided that they had a snap.
They had not learned that Fitz-
gerald had concluded that they
wanted few games for them
selves and were probably sur
prised when they found that 1t
was not possible to make more
than two runs while Fitzgerald
scored five times.
AS we go to press the second
of series of three games is in
progress; the third game will be
played tomorrow (FridaY) after.
