The Memphis Commercial-Appeal Is au-
thority for the statement that Prank has
recently acquired more than the controll-
dng interest of the New Orleans franz
chlse. According to this story when
Franks offer of $4,000 for the Memphis
Franchise was declined last spring, he
invested more money in the New Orleans
company, and now practically owns 1t.
Why Frank should have desired the
Memphis franchise, when Mr.. Coleman,

controls It, is more than can be told.
Frank evidently wanted the whole thing,
and may be planning to finally control

In the game this afternoon in place of
Coogan, the Barons would have been COM
PEELED to bite the dust twice. 1t was the
errors of the substitute second baseman
that gave Birmingham an opportunity to
run ahead in the eighth inning of the
first game.
The first game was a lucky victory for
the Barons. The Firms outhit them terri
bly,, Wilhelm being able to hold his own
with difficulty. All but knocked out of
the box was the fate of the pitcher who
performed so miraculously in Montgomery
recently. The Films led until the eighth.
In that inning, errors by Coogan allowed
the bases to become filled, and with two
strikes on him, Smith connected safely
with one of Schmidt's benders, and smash
ed 1t over right field fence. Four scores
were thus made
In the second game, the Firms had
everything their own way. Duggan clear
ly outpitched Clark. and the hitting of ths
locals was something terrific. The fact of
the entire matter is that in the two
games, home runs, triples, doubles and
singles figured In punches. Molesworth
hit for three bags in each of the games.

SinkinQ on the Colorado. Carr.

A depth Of $50 feet has been reached
in the Colorado Carr and sinking is still
being prosecuted and will be until the
shaft is down another 100 feet. When
sinking was started on the property sew
eral months ago the shaft was down $50
feet and the seeming slow progress has
been due to the frequent breaking OF
machinery. Crosscutting will be started
at the $50 foot point in few days. No
ore has been shipped from the property
since the new company has been operat
ing the Colorado Carr with the exception
Of one trial shipment. This was taken
from one Of the lower levels and gave
very fair values. As soon as the addit.
ional 100 feet is sunk large force o.
miners will be put to work in the levels
and ore will be taken out. This will be
sent to the Randolph mill which the
mine connects with by an aerial tram. A

Iron Shaft UnWatered.

The Pewabic Consolidated Gold Mines
company has unwatered the Iron shaft
to about twenty five feet below the 500
foot level and the work OF cleaning out
the various cave-ins which had occurred
during the past twenty years OF non
operation Of the mine has been com
pleted at the date Of this writing. L. is
asserted that large ore bodies are avail
able in the workings, which in former
years on account of higher freight and
milling rates. could not be mined within
a margin Of profit. The output from
the Iron mine is about eight cords day
and this it is understood will be increased
shortly to about double the number OF
cords. Just as soon as the fast drop sec
tions in the New York mill are over
hauled and made ready for crushing this
product.
The Pewabic mine is furnishing the
usual quota OF ores and this mine at the
45O foot level west is looking better than
it ever did before. Preparations are
being made for the sinking Of this shaft
to at least 800 feet deeper with air drills,
after the installation Of one OF the finest
compressor plants manufactured today,
which is expected to arrive here by the
middle OF next month.

DRAINING SARATOGA
The Lateral in The NeWhouse Tunnel Strikes
a Large Flow Of Water, Undoubtedly
from the Saratoga.
THIS BIG MINE WILL SOON Be SHIPPING AGAIN

Word has been received that the lat
eral in the Newhouse tunnel on the
Saratoga vein has struck an extraor-
binary flow of water at the heading,
which beyond a doubt comes from the
great Saratoga vein, as we are informed
that during the past few days the water
in the main shaft Of the Saratoga in
Russell gulch has lowered about ten feet.
This is said to be the first indication of
drainage of this vein through the New.
house tunnel, and means that it will not
be very long before this great mine is en-
tirely unwatered, when large force of
miners will be employed both in the tun-
mel and at the main shaft in Russell.
As the Saratoga is one OF the largest
veins in the county, it is very natural to
suppose that the lateral in the New
house tunnel in tapping the Saratoga
will cut the main water course of the
Russell district, when many mines in
that section which are now idle can be
profitably worked, as they too will be
unwatered. The Saratoga has added
millions of dollars to the output of the
county in the past and promises shortly
to rank among the great properties of
the state.

Which is all That is Asked Of Giipin
County People.
PROPERTY OWNERS MUST COME FORWARD

The mass meeting held in the opera
house last Thursday evening was very
we'll attended by residents OF this city
and the remainder Of the county. The
meeting was held for the purpose OF dis.
.cussing the Gilpin & Clear Creek DIE
trct railway proposition now before the
people of Gilpin county. A committee
Of seven which had been appointed at
previous meeting of the business men
submitted lengthy report covering the
enterprise in it's various phases. In this
report the committee showed after CIV
ing the proposition much thought, where
in it was feasible beyond doubt; why
it should be constructed; where it would
not only be benefit to this city and
county 10 general way, but as an in
vestment was good one fer the people
individually who subscribed for the
stock. The report set forth numerous
advantages the county would receive
through the building of the road in not
only reductions on freight and the price
of coal. but by being able to reach the
northern part OF the county where there
is plenty of water for milling and other
purposes necessary in the treatment OF
ores
After disc ussion Of the railway matter
in which H. c. Bolsinger, II. A. Hall and
w. b, Baker, of Chicago, participated,
the following resolution was introduced
and adopted
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this
meeting, and we believe the voice of all
the people in Gilpin county, that the
proposition as agreed upon is eminently
fair and that we individually and through
our committees exert every effort to raise
the sum Of $4,000 in the manner stated
Also, That an executive committee OF
five, Of which the chair shall be one,
shall be appointed by the chair to take
full charge Of the work. with the power
to appoint sub committees, and to per.
form such other duties as are necessary
The committee has been appointed
and is arranging to perform its duty of
raising the $4,000 in business-like and
systematic manner. Headquarters will
be established in the vacant room on
Lawrence street, near Piazzi 4 Co.'s
meat market. These quarters will be
used as an Office iu transacting business
in connection with the railway and to
discuss matters with those who are not
thoroughly familiar with the proposition.
The committee is also at work making
up list Of the resident and non resident
taxpayers Of the county with the object
in view Of calling on everyone to make
subscription. Every body is welcome to
visit the headquarters at any time.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH STATION.
Central City to Communicate With Outside
World Through New System.

Prof. Belcher, one of the representa-
tives of the American DeForest Wire
less Telegraph company is spending the
week in Central City and last night at
the city hall he delivered an address on
the development OF the wireless tele-
graph to quite large number of citi-
zesks Among other things he said that
wireless telegraphy was first discovered
by Germ an by the name of Hertz in
1879 and that this inventor succeeded in
sending messages about 100 feet without
the use of wires and since that time the
system has been gradually improved
upon by such men as Plupoff, Marconi,
Mariette. TESLA and DR.. DeForest, the
last named gentleman having brought
the science up to the highest state Of
perfection and has made the wireless
system success both on land and sea.
The American continent is being belted
with the DeForest wireless system there
being now over 100 completed CONNER
cial stations erected and in operation by
this company and wireless messages are
flashing between Kansas City, st. Louis,
Chicago, New York and all along the
Atlantic sea coast. This company has
nine completed stations in Colorado and
the service is Just as accurate and re-
liable as the Western Union or Postal
Telegraph companies.
The rapidity with which this company
is installing its system it will be only a
matter OF three or four years until every
town the size of Central City and larger
will have wireless telegraph station
and the associated press and market
news Of the world will be furnished to
the local papers in these towns at a very
nominal cost and daily papers can be
made out Of the present week klies.
The perfecting OF the wireless tele.
graph is one Of the greatest discoveries
OF modern science and it is freely pre-
dicted that the time is not far distant
when the wireless telegraph will sup
plant every telegraph and cable in ex.
istence.
Prof. Belcher, during his stay in the
city, has been looking up a location for
station and figures on having the sys
TEN in operation here in from sixty to
ninety days.
