Cline counted 500 caroms to SIG for

age of 30 7-l7. The title holder was
in poor form. His stroke was jerky and
tight. so that he missed easy caroms
and played without confidence. Al
no time was Slosson successful in
playing the ivory globes close and his
best runs were SO and 81. while his
average was Is 1917. Cline's best

ton. by which he amased a cluster Of

SCIENTIFIC BALL WON PENNANT.

Charley Comiskey says: Scientific
baseball won the American league
pennant for the White Sox. That is
the answer ! make TO all those who
ask ME how We did it. Many people
seem to think that there are better
pail clubs in the American league than
the SoX. ! cannot follow their figur-
ing.
The team that goes through the en-
tire season and wins the most games
Is the best team. There is nothing
TO 1t except such Il conclusion. NJ,
team has had the hardest fight of
any team that ever won a pennant.
We have had none the best of it at
any stage from the umpires.
There is no smoke without fire, and
when In addition to the statement of
my own manager and players | read
In every paper on the circuit where
American league ball is played that
the SoX are being robbed, am in
clined to believe there is some truth
In these persistent reports.
But we have won the pennant and
we can forget anything like few
empires.
The Journal picked the Sox as pen
nant winners last spring, and at tina,
time said didn't see any good rea-
son why the flag shouldn't come to the
South side park again this fall. 1t
has come, but it was a harder fight
during part of the season than had
anticipated. We had more than our
share OF hard luck in the way of in
.iuries.
But we made a grand rally In July
and after that could see but little
chance to lose. The finish was drawn
pretty fine, but that is a good thing
for baseball.

isI,ell's Base Running Helms Sox.

lsbell's base running is not ap-
preciated by many fans, but when it is
known that he leads the American
league in this department it will be
seen that he is valuable on the bases
He is big, and, to a certain extent,
clumsy, but he handles his weight with
true athletic skill and has more speed
and horse sense when on the base than
nine-tenths of the players in the game.
Speed isn't everything by long
way in base stealing-some Of the
fastest men in the league are the poor
est base runners. while some of the
slowest runners are the best steal
ers.' lsbell is far from slow on his
feet, and this added to his intuitive
ability. has raised him to the top. He
has stolen thirty-seven bases SO far
only trifie over half the number he
mas purloined in previous seasons.
But the hit and run" game has
spoiled the old base stealing records,
as set by Billy Hamilton, Mertes and
others OF that kind years ago.

Residents of the United States are

7LosrS SEER RAILWAY.

lasW First steel Road of Northern,
Asia llysteriossly DisaRDsarsd.
Near Irkutsk. In central Siberia, b q
series Of rapids on the Angrara river.
After many disasters the river trans
port companies decided in the early sew
entiesof the last century to build short
railroad for transshipm Of freight
around the rapids. The twelve mile
road was probably the first railroad
built In Asia outside Of India, and GER
tainly the first one built in northern
Asia. s. III IS.
There was no regular service, about
two trips each way being made week,
as cargo offered. With the improve
ment Of the roads through this region
by the Russian government traffic Oh
this part Of the river was gradually
abandoned and the railroad finally fell
into disuse. The locomotive was ac-
CURED by farmer to be used once a
year to drive thrashing machine, the
cars were taken off on barges and
towed away and the line abandoned.
Some fifteen years later the locating
engineers of the Siberian, railroad, en-
tering this part of Siberia, heard
rumors Of railroad which had existed
many years previously. This is u vast
region Of sierra, forest, tundra, steppe
and-here and there Of rinc (untrans-
alphabetically "quick mud'D, and
presented great difficulties for railroad
construction. News Of an abandoned
line which had been successfully OPP
Grated was, therefore, received with
much interest and search was made
for the road.
The freight sheds were finally discov
cred and then the line of the road
marked by the clearing in the forest,
but no trace Of the rails or roadbed
could be found. The right of way was
much overgrowp with underbrush and
bordered with the dense forest and was
almost as black and cold as a mountain
tunnel, the sun being just visible light
ing up the topmost branches Of the
giant frs. The railroad itself had COM
pletely Misrepresentation a rail, not
sleeper, only an occasional suggestion
now and then of what had once been
rude cross drainage bitches.
In an effort to find the track picks
were driven as far as they would go
into the earth, only to bare masses of
tangled roots. The railroad was lost.
It could not have been burnt UP, be-
cause there had been no fires, nor
stolen and carried off piecemeal, for
the region was totally lacking in popu-
lation. Moreover, the old freight
houses remained with their locks in
tact and packages Of overlooked goods
in good condition within them. 1t is
believed to have been case Of gradual
subsistence.
The UNPUBLISHED track through the
forest, gradually depressed by few
years traffic, naturally became drain

the forest, rendering in time the sub

COPPER QUEEN BACK TAXES.
Attorney General Clark Instructed by
Governor Kibbey to Revive Case.

The Review says that the cele-
brated Copper Queen back tax case
is about to be resurrected from the
archives on account of the visit
there of Attorney General Clark,
where it has been peacefully slumber-
ing nearly three years. Clark said
he had instructions from Governor
Kibbey to revive the case and again
get it into court.
The case occupied the attention of
the various courts of the territory
from 1901 to 1904, and was the cause
of much comment and speculation.
In June, 1904, o. Gibson, who had
been appointed as tax attorney, asked
for writ of mandamus ugainst NJ.
D. Scribner, county treasurer, to
compel him to place the back taxes
against the Copper Queen company
on the back tax book for the year
1901 and all subsequent years, which
amounted to about $99, 900, claiming
right to compromise the same. The
matter was argued in the courts at
at some length, and was finally dis
missed by the court without pre-
iudice. About the time this matter
was ended here the United Verde
case had been appealed to the su-
preme court from Yavapai county
and involved about the same ques-
tions. That case was subsequently
decided in favor of the county, and
on account of this decision the at
torney-general believes that he can
make a good case against the Copper
Queen company.
Under this belief, the attorney
general notified County Treasurer
Gaines to put the back taxes against
the Copper Queen company on the
rolls, and to figure the interests and
costs up to date, which will bring the
amount to over 100000. AS soon as
this is done the attorney-general,
with the assistance of the tax col
lector, w. G. Gilmore, will commence
a suit in the district court to compel
the payment of the amount. If the
county treasurer fails to place the
amounts on the back tax book, writ
OF mandamus will be brought against
him to compel him to do so.

NQu.Partisan Statehood Campaign.

According to official calls issued by
Joseph H Kibbey, governor of Ari-
zona, and chairman of the Republi-
can Territorial Central committee,
and E. E. Ellinwood, chairman of the
Democratic Territoriaf Central COM
mittee, the central committees of
the two political parties in Arizona
will meet at the capitol building in
Phoenix on August 4th, at 10 o'clock
d. M.
This action was taken as a result
of conference held at the capitol
between the governor and Chairman
Ellinwood, Mr.. Ellinwood issuing his
call for the convening of the demo-
cratic committee before leaying the
city for his home in Bisbee.
Although both committees have
been called to meet at the same
time and the same place
it does not mean that a joint session
is to be held. The action was taken
by the respective Chairmen in order
that active members of both political
parties could discuss ways and means
for the conduct of a nOn-partisan
anti-jOint statehood campaign during
the election. 1t was practically
agreed upon that a subcommittee
will be appointed by both Chairman
to handle the fight against joint
statehood.

Cananea Still Under Dark Cloud.

Pete Hook and wife of Cananea
were in the city last week Mr..
Hook stated to Prospector repre-
sentative that there is still a feeling
of unrest at that place and consider
able undercurrent talk among the
Mexicans. The Mexican authorities
are at work investigating the SNUG
Cling of arms into Cananea which
has been going on quite actively
since the recent trouble, and it is
estimated that about 500 rifles have
been secured there during the past
few weeks. The agitators are being
weeded out by the Greene company
and made to leave the camp. Mr.
Hook is of the opinion that it will
be some time before Cananea will
resume its former peaceful attitude,
as the feeling among the Mexicans
against the "Gringos'' is very bitter
and they are continually attacking
the Americans, several being shot
during the past week, all of it being
done in the night time.-Prospector

Gold by the Ton From the Yukon.

Nearly four tons of gold were piled
up in the assay office at Seattle last
week, the bulk of which had been re-

The arrival of this gold did not ex-
cite more than ripple of interest in
the city. There were no crowds
around to watch its disembarkment.
There were no. crowds of bearded
and bronzed miners coming down the
gang planks of the steamships, each
bent under the burden of spoke"
full of the precious metal.

Besides the running races, which
kill be decided upon later, there will
