BOULDER LEDGE IS FOUND
The Ledge Has Been Sought for
Many Years.

Jas. NJ. Depew, after six months of
constant search, has discovered what
he says is the old Boulder ledge, or as
1t is called 10y some "Old Spot, " from
the spotted appearance Of the ore. De.
pew aud his associates, O. r Temple
ton and a. g. Arnold, have filed lOca.
tions on the ledge and have done con.
siderable prospect work. Shafts have
been sunk and open cuts made and
somo tunneliug done. The ledge il
located ON the east side of Mt. Badly
and only four miles from Grants Pass,
a short distance up the gulch from the
wagon road at the old Homlin place.
In the early days Of mining in South.
crn Oregon, u boulder Of quartz
Weighing considerably more than u
ton was found ON the west slope Of
Badly. This boulder was worked up
10y hand and paid big wages even for
those days, Some lOyears ago, Mans.
field found u big boulder of the same
spotted quartz ON the east slope below
whore the present locations have been
made, which carried values to the
amount OF Si5O to the ton This boul.
der was moss covered and had lain
there for years, giving no trace as to
It's former location Since that time
Mansfield has been searching for the
original ledge. Many others have
been spending time aud monoy in an
cnde0yor to locAto the lodge OF spotted
quartz, but without success The

Base Ball Notes.

Manager Pitt, Of the Clifton B. B.
 club, has just comp1eted the new inn
 provements on the ball grounds. 4 six-'oot fence has been built half wa .
 around the ground and wire netting
 put up on the foul line to stop foul
 balls. A new improvement has been
 made on the grand stand in which the
 majority of the braces Were removed
 and wire netting attached from the
 bottom to the top, thus avoiding any
 possible danger Of the spectators being
 struck by the ball. All the rocks and
 pebbles We're cleared from the diamond and coating Of black sandy loom put on, which when sprinkled ard rolled
 will make one Of the fastest diamonds in ;he territory.
 The new improvement will no doubt soon pay for itself, as in the future people can come out To witness d game feeling assured that they can see enough of the game to get their moneys worth. As it was, large crowds would gather in front of the grand stand and the people who paid their money could see nothing of the game. Not only that. il costs money to bring ball teams 70 Clifton, but this seems to be q fact not appreciated by q great many as ther generally stand around and rubber. Perhaps they are not aware of the fact that every time an outside team is brought in the ball club goes in the hole. The cost of d game of this kind is generally between SI7l and 500
 There was no game last Sunday, al though it was announced. For some reason Or other the teams could not get together. It is rumored that Mo renci's pitcher was not in shape. He has been training ever since the game two weeks ago and no doubt when he comes down next Sunday there will be doing. He is Kansas league player and bears good repu- tation, but the Clifton boys are all pretty good batters and will try to make il interesting for him. The game will be called at the usual hour 2:30. Don't fail to see it.
 On the 10th of this month Tucson, the champion Of the territory this | season, will be in Clifton for two games, one in the morning and the | other in the afternoon. This promises ! to be the banner game of the season.

The political cauldron is beginning During the past week two announce ments have been made for honors on the democratic ticket-Dr. Burtch for treasurer, and Bay Shannon for super visor. They are popular men throughout the county, and it is quite likely their ambitions will be gratified by receiving the nominations. Mir. Shannon served one term as commis- sloner of Grant County, New Mexico. and also two terms as sheriff Of that county. He left clean record. There is only one trouble with these gentle men, and that is that their politics needs '' iixin a little.

Billy Stiles and Bravo Juan are credited with holding up the Commer- cial compa1y'~ store at Naco last week for SI300. There seems to be more lawle>snes> in Cochise county than all the balance of the territory. notwithstanding the fact that there are always number O rangers in tbat section, as well a. innumerable deputy sherifrs. The outlaws eyi- dently have many friends in that sec ton, or else the officers fail in their duty to the people. Stiles and Bravo Juan are old offenders, and have al ready cost the territory large sum of money.
