was serving up were too deceptive for the
young men to see much less to poke out
anywhere beyond Napoleonic reach.
In the second inning. with two in the
churchyard Nil coaXed a pass out of
Moore and stole second with much grace
and dust. But Knoll was all to the Woody,
and his first strike-out of the day was the
best he had to offer In the fourth Hill led
off with Washington's first hit, neat sin
gle. Manager Stahl forced him. then tried
to atone by stealing second. HuelSman and
Cassidy smote the pill with mighty smites;
but as they banged it into cistern out in
center field called Harry Bay, there was
nothing doing, save in the left-on-bases de-
partment.
In the sixth, after Wolfe had fed ball
into the aforementioned we'll in center
field, Jones succeeded in working Moore for
ninety feet of free transportation. Had he
fingered al first few seconds longer than
he did they might be playing yet, for just
after he was nailed in an attempt to steal
Hill cracked out his long double and Stahl
single, all of which would have resulted
in two runs-had Mr.. Jones been on sack
No 1 instead of the bench.
Just in passing, it may be remarked that,
judging by tOday'S contest, Rory O'Moore
never saw the Nationals play ball 1t will
be remembered that Rory's most celebrated
saying was to the effect that, there's luck
in odd numbers In the first, third, fifth
and seventh innings just twelve men went
to bat for Washington, and the best any
one of them did was a fly to center field.
In the ninth Cassidy's double was the one
exception that is always needed to prove
the rule-Which rule seems to be that odd
numbers are fine for Rory OMoore and
Earl Moore, but very bad for the Stahlites.
Flick's Wonderful Catch.
In The eighth, Kittredge used his powers
of cajolery on Moore to such an extent that
Earl let him amble to first. Wolfe flied,
Jones forced Kilt, and Hill caused great
excitement by getting the second gift of the
inning from Moore. Stahl laced ont a low
liner to short right field that looked good
for tie-up of the game, at least and
Elmer Flick won mighty outburst of ap-
plause by racing in and grabbing the ball
at his shoe laces away up in first-base ter
ritory. The catch was marvel, and it
saved the day for Cleveland, all right.
Wolfe pitched a magnificent game
throughout, and Cleveland was never very
dangerous except in the second when hits
and errors combined gave the Napoleons
their two runs. Bradley led off with rap
to Hill, who gave Stahl a throw that
needed shovel to make good, Brad being
safe. Bradley stole and hiked home on
Turner's single Carr doubled to left, and
fast fielding held Turner at third. Bemis
popped an easy fly to Cassidy. and on
Moores rap to Mil Carr was put out at
third. He and Turner tried to occupy the
bag at the same time. and Kittredge after
taking Mis- throw. ran down and touched
Carr Then Jackson put an easy fly to
Knoll, which should have been the third
out. Punch made an inglorious muff and
Turner galloped home with what proved to
be the winning run.
The score.

At Pitcher Moore's Mercy.

Save FOR couple OF minutes IN the sixth
inning, when Hills smashing double was
followed by Stahls pretty single, netting
washington's only run, Earl Moore had the
visiting team almost completely at his
mercy In the ninth, after Cassidy had
doubled to far left with one out, Earl took
his time TO II and struck out Mil and
Knoll They did not go out on called

ball like young married man beating his

ROCHESTER, GoLDFIELD.

Rumors Of big strike on the Lone
Star lode owned by this company have
been floating around for the past three
weeks. Ore has been found but Lot
in paying quantities near the north end
line. An incline shaft was sunk on the
dyke to depth of 40 feet and in doing
this work number of seams of quartz
were encountered, varying in width
from one-half inch to two inches all of
it panning well and assaying from $2S
to as high as $l73.9o. 1t was decided
to sink a perpendicular shaft to cut
the ledge at depth of 100 feet, but
after going to the 73-foot point cross
cut was started for the ledge a few
days ago. In sinking the vertical shaft
three stringers of ore dipped into the
hole that. assayed all the way from
5000 to as high as 1926. Assays ON

aoLDFIELD MINING COMPANY.

This corporation is not satisfied with
having two good mines in the January
and February and have determined to
ill in all the balance of the names of
the months in the year before this
year is ushered out. This is a pretty
fair job to tackle but the management
has tackled it and their expectations
may he realized. They have gone
about it in the right way and have de-
cided to lease all of their undeveloped
territory in blocks and are granting
leases running all the way from twelve
to eighteen months with royalty of
30 per cent on milling ore and 25 per
cent on smelling. A lease on the Octo-
ber was granted yesterday to Alexan-
der Brisber and he started work today.
Ediam and Newton believe they can
find the extension of the February
dyke and ore shoot on the south end
of the claim and were also given
lease and they have also gone to work.
George Lewis got the block immedi-
ately south of the Honsinger find. Both
have started work. In the meantime
steady work is being prosecuted by the
company on the January and consider
able ore is being broken. The lessees
on the February are all ready for the
arrival of the gasoline hoist which was
received in Tonopah on Wednesday.
The policy adopted by the Goldfeld
company on the leasing idea is the
right one, viz: a fair length of time
and reasonable royalties. If other
companies would do the same thing
new discoveries would become so com
mon that no one would pay any atten-
tion to listening to the tale of the
lucky finder.

GOLDFIELD-EMPERoR.

GOLDFIELD-EMPER
The strike on the Ajax group owned
by the Dominion company has stimulat-
ed activity on the Denver and Neglect
cd lodes, belonging to the Goldfeld-
Emperor Mining company, which joins
them on the north Warwick M. Down
ing, president of the Emperor com
pany is in town and is being besieged
with applications for leases. He granted
only one, to Geo. K. Vaughn, on a block
I5Ox600 feet, which it is believed car
ries the extension of the Ajax vein.
The lease runs one year and provides
for from 90 to 80 per cent royalty. The
iessees expect to start work at once
and are confident of being able to open
up the rich Ajax ore shoot in a. short
time.
The Emperor company is controlled
by the Downing Investment company
and c. M. Sumner of Denver. In ad-
dition to the Denver and Neglected, it
owns the Gold Bell and Apex, a little
south of town on the west slope of
Meyers mountain. The rich strike
on the Ajax has made big local de-
mand for the stock, but the control is
closely held and there are no sellers.
Considering the fact that the Ajax vein
is pointed directly into the Emperor
company's properties, pay ore should
soon be opened up.
