LARGELY WAY WITH
NEW MEXICO MINES
GrOundIess Litigation Long
Continued Has StrangIed
Development.
DELAYS CANNOT LAST ALWAYS

An important mining sale was made
this week when the Last Chance
group at Pyramid, consisting of the
Last Chance, Clara Sutton, James
Thomas and Olivia were sold to the
Aurora. Mines company, of Aurora,
III. The sale was conducted by ]. l..
Wells, who had a bond on It, and j.
w. Greer represented the purchasers.
W. l.. Bradley will have charge of
this property and expects to COM
mence work on 1t early in the next
year. The Last Chance is one of the
oldest properties in the district, and
has had a long career of idleness. It
was worked in the early eighties by
Bement, Mackey, Nesbitt & Martin,
who took out a great deal Of valua-
bic ore which was shipped to vari-
GUS smelters, much to Socorro and
Pueblo and much to Benson. Prices
were high in those days. 1t cost $50
a ton to get the ore smelted, the
freight was $3.50 and the labor was
81 per day. The mine could not
stand these expenses, and in 1884 was
shut down. The title of the property
finally fell into the hands Of Asa Be-
ment, one Of the partners, and on
MS uedlnt passed 10 the SON, VINO
now passes the title to the Aurora
company. For many years o. r.
Smyth looked after the assessment
work, and about 1888 Bob Williams
thought the assessment work had
not been properly done, and jumped
il. The matter vas taken into court
and Judge Henderson decided that
the work had been properly done.
Some years late. there vas again
trouble aboutl the assessment work,
which was then in charge of Frank
Reno. Mr.. Bement thought that 1t
was cheaper to patent the property
than TO be fighting jumpers in the
courts, and this was done in the early
nineties. A year later a man came in
from Pyramid Dragging about the good
thing he had, and told how he had
jumped the Last Chance mine. He
was rich for a few hours, and then
he was well guyed for relocating a
patented property. A year or so ago
Mr.. Wells began investigating the
property and was well pleased after
he had pumped it out. He made a
careful examination and was con
WINGED that with modern treatment,
the property would be a valuable one,
as freight and treatment of its ore
now costs only SO per ton, He re-
Gently drew the attention of Mr..
Greer to the property and the sale
resulted.

Gold and Silver Mining company's
property at STEMS Pass, although it

complished much in the way of de-
veloping the property. Something
over a year ago he was succeeded by
r. Gueuther, who. after he had cor

claimed. The case has Just been
tried before Judge Gary. The defend
ants showed that Mr.. Heartt had
never invested a cent in the com

these towns Will be abandoned If rest
ing places for the teams can be found
further south in California.
Nelson and McGovern are to meet,
after all, maybe. The dispatches say
they will post a forfeit of $4,000 next
week for the match in the latter part
of March or early in April. There
has been so much playing to the
g~randstand by these little fellows that
fight fans will be wise if they keep
their enthusiasm bottled up until the
forfeit is posted and the articles are
signed.
Over in st. Louis they are trying
to ressurect Oliver Patsey Tebeau as
manager for the Cardinals, but as
Oliver Patsey has a profitable drink
emporium it is hardly probable that
he could be coaxed away from the
shining mahogany where two bits
buys a brace of bumpers that will
twist modest citizens into temporary
millionaires in 80 seconds.
While the majority of the magnates
are talking about strengthening their
teams for next season. the Chicago
aNoAAoAiNio are iOulillS uD lut btol
players available. The trading of
O'Neil, Casey, Maloney, Mccarthy,
Briggs and Pfeffer for Catcher Moran
and Outfielder Sheckard Is regarded
as one of the best base ball deals OF
the year, from a Chicago standpoint.
o
An unknlw n genius from the inter
Tor of West Virginia has solved the
problem of more its-per-game that
has been bothering the big fellows of
base ball for several seasons. This
West Virginia idea is as follows:
MY plan is to do away with the
curve ball, carry but one or two
pitchers and let the pitchers value
consist of headWork, watching the
bases and fielding his position prop
erly. If the game lasts too long, cut
to seven or five innings, or employ
an extra outfielder.' Simple, isn't it?
Those careless managers who have
neglected to hire pitchers who en-
ployed ~headwOrk, watched the bases
and fielded the ball properly, should
mend their ways. Here is the solution
OF the whole trouble. so let's quit
worrying and begin playing ball just
as soon as we can hear from West
Virginia where To station the extra
fielder.

Warner Wants Southpaw
Manager Warner wants southpaw
as an addition to his present staff.
For the past week he has been cast
ing about trying to locate such man,
but as yet he has been unsuccessful.
He feels, like most other managers,
that a southpaw of the right kind is
the most effective pitcher going. This
is due to the fact that many of the
heavy hitters bat left handed, and
against such hitters, a left handlers
curves, which are directly opposite
from those of a right handed thrower,
are hard to hit. Warner all but picked
up the kind of man he was looking for
when he was south with the team re-
Gently, but he was signed by another
team before he could close negotiation.
