Springs Maroon base bail team, and they
went down to defeat at the hands of the
bail tossers at the end of the rails. The
score was s 10 IN favor of the upper
county boys. aud the locals have no eN-
euse 70 offer except that they were up
against husky players. 1t was snappy
game from start to finish and there is no
cause for complaint. But the Silver Plume
boys have not a sineh on the peHnant vet;
the Maroons will bet dollars TO doughnuts
that they can't skin them a second time.

Mr.. Shaffer being p'aceti on the program

undoubtedly devote some of his time to
the question OF the selection OF national,
and state inspector OF mining eoupa uies,
and no one is better posted on the propo-

conferred on the gentleman is highly
gratifying not only to his friends here

iif's sale, the amount including costs be
ing, S33,755.o3. He was the represents
I tive Of the larger stock holders who were
familiar ~ith the merits Of the property.
The sherifs sale was the result OF htiga-
ton and lack Of harmony among the
stockholders as to the best method Of
conducting operations. The property
consists of twenty-five mining claims,
three mill sites and one Of the best water
rights on Fall river. The mining claims
and millsites are nearly all patented
property. There is also large mill and
considerable amount of milling ore
opened up by the development work al
ready accomplished. The Mahany tun-
mel has ben driven east over 100 fee,
and the Golconda has been extended 500
feet and in driving another 600 feet will
intersect the Golconda vein at good
depth from the surface. The vein has an
exceptional showing on the surface
where it has been opened sufficiently TO
determine its extent and value. While
but limited amount of development
work has been done leasers have been
| able TO take ont better than days pay from

iron character from which the best results
are obtained by concentration. Mr..
Strootnian is at the mine giving his per
sonal attention to the arrangements and
will probably remain until the work i.
well under way.
The resumption of this splendid prop
erty will add materially to the production
for the present year as well as to the pros
perity of the district in general, and is
Indeed most gratifying news.

going over the ground thoroughly and
consulting all persons that have long
been identified with the water problem,

estimated the probable cost OF the system
