BASE BALL
THIS IS A FISH STORY
AND IT IS THE TRUTH
The Fish Was Fourteen Feet Long,
But, Strange to Say, Ut Only
Weighed Ten Ounces.

And there's a story of hunting and
fishing that should go down on the
books.
Berry creek offers many oppor'
tunities for I'VE angler" but there
were some of the bunch who could
not land a whale with barbed wire
fence.
The fisherman, who in the earl.
hours of dawn, forsakes his couch
for the joys of the fish game, should
be expected to return with the goods
for his party awaiting his return
become anxious for his safety.
And so it was, on the last trip o
large party to the fishing and hunt
ing grounds-the modern Utopia
that there were two who covered
themselves with glory as nimrod'
and fishermen-the names of whom
are to be kept quiet. :.
Picture to yourself one who will
attempt to grab the elusive trout
with nothing on his hook, and whei
he landed a 10-ounce fool, he swellet
up so that when he was pulled int
the stream, he didn't know where h
was at.
He landed the fish, however, ant
brought it back to camp and twenty
| five people ate fish from that tel
ounces of fish-at least Charley Hus
sey passes it out that way, and IL

take this story-with fish and grail
of salt. But about that story o
loaves and fishes-Hussey, you r.

IN FLORENCE
GOLDFlELD
GROUND
A LARGE BODY OF HIGH-GRADE
WITH SEAMS OF PURE
| YELLOW.
KNOCKERS ARE AGAIN SILENCED
The Full Extent of The Recent Dis
cOvery Cannot at The Present
BE Determined.

A large body of high-grade ore,
with seams of the pure yellow run
ming through it, is the reward of the
Goldfield Syndicate Mining company
or rather the Warner Stewart COM
pany. of Chicago for the faith which
they had in the Florence ground, a
faith which they backed to the tune
of many thousands of dollars, which
were expended in developing the
ground to the point where the treas
IRE vaults rested.
The full extent of the find cannot
at present be determined but this
much is certain that it is the most
important since the Little Florence
came into the limelight and there
are Indications which lead to the be-
lief that the Syndicate has an ore
body which will eclipse the Little
Florence in values. Assays from $40
to $4,000 have been secured.
The value of this latest discovery
TO the immediate section cannot be
overestimated. There were croakers
who declared at the time of the Lit
tie Florence strike that it was only
a pocket or deposit that did not ex-
tend beyond the confines of the i'm
mediate ground. And there was no
way to prove otherwise until the Syn
dictate lease showed to the contrary.
Now there can be no question that
the ledge is an extensive one, and its
course has been absolutely deter
mined, placing 1t within the power
of other leasers in the district to be
almost certain that they will get the
same ore body and to know just
where they will get it, reducing the
whole proposition of sinking to the
proper depth and then drifting. In
the Little Florence lease the ledge
south, while in the Syndicate it goes
about thirty degrees west of south.
II 1t should continue in the same di-
rection it would pass directly through
the o. X. Fraction and Rustler Frac-
tons of the Consolidated ground.
The company will at once install
a powerful mechanical equipment
and 60 down 200 more feet as rapid
ly as possible. AS the lease has until
next February to run there should
be no reason why hundreds of thou
sards of dollars in dividends should
not be paid in the interim.
The Warner Stewart company,
with head Offices in Chicago, went
into the Goldfield district last De-
cember and began looking around
for suitable location. After care
full examination of the several por-
lions of the district which looked ia
vorable the Florence ground was
picked and arrangements were made
with the owners of the Rogers lease
to secure a half interest in their
property. Since that time great
deal of rapid development work has
been done, with the result as before
stated.
The first shipment of ore will be
made next week.

NOTES FROM SHELTER
AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING

Daily practice is the order of the
according to recent reports.
Manager Reed is strong in his
opinion that at last his team is to
make a killing at Lane City next
Sunday, although it is realized by
both manager and team alike that
the victory will not be an easy one
At practice the boys are all showing
up we'll although Shortstop Dunn is
suffering from the effects of broken
finger, sustained during last Sunday s
game at Ely. There has been one
or two other minor accidents of a
like nature recently the result OF
which was a marked feeling of dis
enlargement for time. Everybody
is again in good spirits, however,
and all hands are determined to do
or die on Sunday next.
Apart from the improvement in
form of the old members, the team
has been materially strengthened by
the addition of catcher, who is
claimed to be "the goods" at last
The position behind the bat has long
been regarded as one of the weakest
on the team and the boast has con-
stantly been made that with good
man there, Ely would have but a
slim chance. Forsythe, the south
paw whose arm was put out of COM
mission temporarily short time ago
is rapidly recovering with indications
of being in better form than ever by
the end of the week.
Three defeats in line are enough"
said Manager Reed, recently, land |
am satisfied that the fourth game
will tell the tale, and not in Ely's
favor either. Of course, we know
Ely has strong bunch, and we are
not overlooking the fact that we are
going to have our work cut out, but
the team outsire of few minor
points is in strong shape and there
is no doubt in my mind as to the re-
suit"
Arrangements are now pending
whereby special train will be run
from Shelter for the benefit of the
team and its supporters, and a good
bunch of rooters is expected along.
There is apparently considerable
mystery in local sporting circles as
to just what new material the Smelt-
er aggregation has succeeded in Sc
curing, but confidence in the home
team runs high, and in any event
good game is sure to result.

THINKS" AND COMMENT

In the New Orleans money market
there is no pressure and the demand
is only fairly active and readily met
The demand for crop purposes has
not assumed any breadth as yet Call
loans are 6 to per cent. Some re-
duction in loans and deposits have
been reported. Foreign exchange has
been in very limited Offering under
the quiet business in the spot cotton
market. Domestic exchange is quiet
but affected somewhat by payments
of heavy duties on sugar imports.
An official of the Merchants Loan &
Trust company, Chicago, says:
There is really only one rate for
money here, and that is per cent.
Some paper Is taken for less, and
some loans bring 6 IL per cent, but
the rate is per cent, and it will not
be lower for long time. / expect
to see money 1-2 to per cent for
a long period.
1--WE will have no trouble during
the crop rush. Every year there is a
lot of talk about it, but the banks
get through all right. This country
has developed so much and the farm
ers are so prosperous, that the crops
are handled more leisurely and sys-
formerly the farmers were in
debt. Their crops and their land
were mortgaged. Now they have
to lend to one another. They
know something about the markets
and wait for their own prices.

MARTIN WHITE
SHOWING UP
BETTER DAILY
TAKING OUT 20 PER CENT LEAD
ORE FOR sHIPNIENT-FIFTY
TONS NOW READY.
WORK TO BE.COMMENCED ON DAM
Willow Creek To Furnish Water For
Power PurpOses-The Mine
Is All Right.

Charles C. Gates, superintendent
and general manager for the old
Martin White mining property at
Ward, is in town on business. Mr.
Gates reports that the property is
looking better every day. The shaft
is now down 80 feet and is drifting
in body of high grade ore. and is
hosting to the surface 20 per cent
lead ore. He has SO tons of high
grade on the dump ready for ship
ment. Work will be commenced on
the Willow Creek dam inside of ten
days. The water thus stored will be
used for power purposes. He is en-
ploying twenty men. Mr.. Gates feels
very much encouraged with the out
look for the mine. The Martin White
was one of the greatest wealth pro-
ducers in the county at one time and
Mr.. Gates proposes to make it SO
again in the near future.

"CROTTY" OF THE ST.
PAULS WAS "HONG"

There was ball player named
"Crotty' dropped into the west, and
where he came from no one asked,
but there was no faster man in the
game. The play and the condiments
accruing in an invitation to drink,
came up, and he loosened up:
Say; do you'se t'ink I'm DR..
Tanner? My tummick hurts me, and
if there's goin' to be 'anytink" goin'
on, its the big feed fer mel"
They got wise in a minute, and it
wasn't long before he had his, and
was putting away porterhouse. But,
too rich for blood run down, his
"tunmick" hurt on him, and he
"hollered" for help.
Coming out of the hospital after a
long spell of "sick" he bowed back
into the game, and is now one of the
top-notchers in the game.
