The largest one is three inches long and oyer an inch wide. In previous years nuggets have been found going as high as SISs. Two years ago one of SicG was Taken out, and great many wen, from s3o to $50.
 Mr Davis has been steadily working this property since 1898, He early realized that improved methods were necessity to secure the best results, and the first hy- draulic plant on the American Yukon was installed here. This small plant has been run very sue cessfully at the lower end of the property, on No. r.; but in order to work the upper portions greater pressure is required. A company was organized in order to increase the capacity of the plant so that the entire six claims may be worked tc the best advantage This fall 5000 feet of pipe and other fittings will be received, amounting to 75 tons Next year this will be supp lementec by another mile and a half of pipe which will give a pressure of more than | 50 feet and be ample for ths requirements of the whole property

The last practice game has been played. The ball players cease to play and com mence work this afternoon The bell calling the players to the field, will be rung by Daddy Cook at 3:30 o'clock and the umpire will sound the cheerful call, "Play ball"
 To more than three thousand fans in Birmingham today is a gala occasion. It sees the opening of the 1905 season of the Southern league, and Birmingham com mences with the prospects greatly in fa- var of it's being the best season the Barons of the House of Coal have eve- known.
 From Alabama's capital city, the town of the Legislators, a bunch of huskies headed by Thomas OBrien will come to meet the Barons in the initial game. With the team will probably be a big bunch of rooters, coming to see the Barons go down in defeat, according to the predictions of the scribes and moguls of the Pretzes.
 The dope on the game is flying thick and fast. but the general belief is that the Barons have the best chances of winning the opening game and also the series. However, the Montgomerians are Jonah to Birmingham, and the goddess of luck may rule that they shall come sons first contest under the shadows of old Mount Slag.

! some from Castle Heights and lastly two from Meridian.
 Other teams have taken Manager O'Brien's scalp under the shadow of Mount Slag and now the Barons are itching to put the willow to the curves of his choicest twirlers and land a vic tory.
 When the sun set last night it gave promise of glorious baseball day. Not cloud darkened the horizon and the temperature had gone upward during the previous twenty-four hours, making it almost ideal ball weather. A hot sun and clear sky today will put the Bar ons into great condition and will insure fast game.
 With such a day as yesterday record breaking number of people should pass by the gate keepers and the largest first game crowd ever recorded in the city should be the result Interest in base ball is greater this year than ever before for the general belief is that Birming- ham has a team which should land easily in the first division and has good chance to capture third money at least.
 Father Vaughan, Secretary Sheppard and ..Daddy" Cook spent some time yes- terday afternoon getting the grounds into condition The infield was carefully sprinkled and then rolled, insuring a smooth and level infield for today's game. The measurements of the diamond were verified again by Manager Vaughan and Secretary Sheppard. and they also had the grass in the outfield cut and the gar dens put into condition for the season
 The addition of several hundred reserv- ed seats will aid in accommodating the crowd this afternoon. but at that it is expected that the spectators will over run everything If the weather is favor ah,e The reserved seat tickets will be nIaced on sale dowL town until the usual hour and then will be transferred to the ball park.

 Mayor Drennen will probably toss the first ball across the plate this afternoon, and then it will be decided that his arm is not in shape, and Ragan or Ginger Clarke will be sent into the box to take his place.
 Then the real artlt. will commence. The two teams will settle down to hard work and earnest effort, both anxious to capture the first contest. The rivalry be- tween the two cities Is great and Mont gomery is hunting for blood when she comes to Birmingham for tomorrow's game, and the Barons have a long un- broken record of games won and they are anxious to hang ,le scalp of Mont gomery on the same tent pole with three from Cincinnati, one from Cleveland.

score being to 4. While the Colonels

with the visitors misplays. Cristall. who
did the pitching for st. Paul, pitched
fairly good ball, but the st. Paul fielders
let several go safe that should have been
caught
The Colonels also used a southpaw
pitcher and he held the st. Paul batters
down with the exception of the fourth
and eighth innings. While Geier played
rather poorly in the outfield, he more than
offset his fielding by his good work with
the stick. His batting was one of the
features, of the game. Out of five times at
bat he laced out two singles and a two
Dagger. O'Brien also batted well, get
ting double and single which came at
the right time.
Three straight hits in the fourth inning
by Hemphill, Wheeler and O'Brien netted
the Saints two scores. Two more tallies
We're sent across the plate in the eighth
inning. when Geier hit safely and Hemp
