Good Ore in Mineral Chief.

Georgetown, Colo.-Considerable ore
is being knocked down in the Mineral
Chief on Republican mountain. which
has paid two dividends of / per cent.
each this year and expects soon to de-
clare another.
The Maud s., on Douglas mountain,
is making an excellent showing, and
a streak Of good grade ore, six to ten
inches thick, is being. followed. Den
yer men are interested.
On the Lucky Hesperus on Demo-
crat mountain, Charles Carslon is run
ming a drift on a streak of ore three
TO five inches wide. The ore Is high
grade and occasional small shipments
have returned as high as 400 ounces
In silver to the ton.
The La Plata group on Democrat
mountain is being developed under the
management Of Joseph Broad, one of
the pioneer mining men of the George
town district. The tunnel is In 1900
feet, a number OF veins having been
intersected.

Dorie Tunnel Has Strike.

Idaho Springs, Colo-The Doric
tunnel comes forward with a strike of
a most important nature. In carrying
the stope on the Cram lode, intersect-
ed 2,400 feet from the portal, there
has been decided change in the char
acter of the ore in the east end. At
a height of lis feet The iron has entire
tirely disappeared. and in its place
appears rosin zinc and lead. A test
mill run made the first of the week
upon ore taken from the east ten feet
OF ground brought returns OF S02
ounces in silver to the ton, 80 ounce
gold. AS per cent. lead and 11.2 per
cent. zinc. Drifting blind is now be-
ing prosecuted easterly, and 1t is EVIL
dent that bonanza pocket of ore has
been found. In the west end OF the
stope the ore body measures from two
to four feet across. and recent mill
runs brought average returns OF $32
to the ton in silver and gold. From
this time on the ore will be run in
two classes. as 1t has been found a
much better saving can be effected. 1t
ia hoped to inaugurate regular weekly
shipments during the course Of the
next few days.

Eastern Capitalist. Looking for Mines

That investment In Colorado mining
property is one Of the things contem.
plated as a possibility by the party OF
eastern and southern capitalists now
in Denver with Gov. William NJ. d.
Dawson of West Virginia was limited
In the words of a member of the party
at the st. Francis hotel. But the mem.
bers Of the party refused to say any.
thing beyond vague hint. They have
been looking over gold mining prop
erty near Central City for the past two
or three days. There are ten of them,
and they are all said to be capitalists.

1t was freely admitted that the pur.
pose of the trip was business and
pleasure" But when asked point
blank whether investment was one oi
the objects, a member of the company
said:
1--WE can not go so far at this time as
to answer that question In the affirma
tive. You know that premature an
nouncement OF such a plan might be
prejudicial to our interests. will say
that the trip Is purely unofficial and
personal so far as the members OF this
party is concerned. The governor Ia
financially interested In some coal
mines in his own state. and he is in
specting mining methods In Colorado
particularly the methods of treating
ore. But this is purely for general in.
formation and not with any view al
present OF transplanting Colorado ideas
on West Virginia SOIL"
In view OF the fact that so many OF
the company are classed as capitalists
It Is certain that very large amount
OF money is represented here. and any
thing that may please the fancies OF
the men is not likely to be beyond
their purses.

BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger in the MaiI-Order
System Of Business.

1t is only lately that bankers OF the
west have come to realization that
the mail-order system of business has
been serious injury to them. killing
off the business of their towns. taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the buying goods-away-from.hom evil
as anything of particular concern to
them. When Farmer Smith would
buy draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago. the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead. while the facts re-
mained that il he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 of the farmer for the banker
might make a dollar or two OF profit
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started in to solicit deposits of
the people OF country towns and farm
ing communities that the bankers
took a tumble
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea OF their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families,
and set bad example before the peo.
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way of staples
and luxuries. Bankers are conserva.
tive: and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money
but in this matter 1t appears sufficient
ly important to justify the exercise OF
what influence the banker can com.
mand in behalf Of home patronage It
is the business Of the town and sur.
rounding country that affords profit
TO the bank. The greater this volume
of business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest OF
the town. and the farmers and other
laborers as well.

WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
"a Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In getting
the business Of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
III the mail order houses got $1,000
out of this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
Is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
US prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell US what they have
and what they want for It, OF course
we get soaked once in awhile and II
we do we can try some other house.
Most OF the home merchants who ad-
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell US what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price of this
article. and that. but you know how
1t is-one doesn't know so well exact
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
in store as when he is at home And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read it when we haven't anything else
to do and every member of the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other mem.
ber of the family wants and many Or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down. If he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until they we're brought
to our attention.
"The home merchant can save the
expense Of getting up catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue.
and if the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk
in the home papers. and put it in so
that we know he means business. The
home merchant likely, nine times out
Of ten. sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and l believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are we to know IL he doesn't
tell us about 1t.
"a merhant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods SO well that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
ut is none Of my business how the
home merchant runs his business. but
don't like to see these roasts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get little stuff shipped in once
in awhile and never anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides of a question, and I have given
you mine. II it is worth anything to
you you can take it,

TOO little hitting" Is the cry all
along the line. TOO many shut-outs,
too small scores, not enough base run
ming"
Up to the present visit of the west
ern clubs of the American league to
the east and that Of the eastern clubs
of the National league to the west,
there was 73 shut-outs in the Ameri-
can league. OF these, Boston, Chicago,
Cleveland and the Athletics each ad-
ministered II, Detroit 10, st. Louis 8
and New York and Washington each
5. Boston was shut out 10 times, St.
Louis and Cleveland each 10, Chicago,
New York and Washington each 9, the
Athletics and Detroit Z.
st. Louis played, therefore, in 10
shut-out games, Boston in %, Chicago
in 20, Cleveland in 21, Detroit in IT.,
the Athletics in 10, New York and
Washington in IA.
In the National league we find that
Chicago led in shut-outs with 16,
Brooklyn second with IA, Pittsburg 13,
New York 12. Philadelphia 10, St.
Louis 8. Boston and Cincinnati 5.
st. Louis was shut out 18 times,
Brooklyn 13, Cincinnati and Boston
IL, New York 8, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg each Z.
The total number of shut-outs was
"a, or IL more than in the American
league. Brooklyn played in 81 games
in which one side or the other failed
to score, Chicago in %, St. Louis in
nj in, t.
Cincinnati in II, Pittsburg and New
York in 20.
It will be seen that the proportion of
shutouts is extremely large. One might
go on and quote the number of games
in which club was held down to one
run to emphasize the lack of hitting
and, therefore. run-getting. This hap
pened to Brooklyn in IL games, to st.
Louis in IL and to the Boston Nation

In 35 games, therefore, out Of IS
played, the st. Louis club either failed
to score or made but one run; Brook

Cincinnati in 30.
In the American league, Boston was
held down to one run 13 times, making

Cleveland in 90.
The tendency is for the batting to
become weaker instead of better, for
the stronger club becomes in the
pitching and other departments the
more difficult 1t is to obtain runs.
Even to this day there are many
stanch opponents to the foul strike,
who regret that the American league
did not stick to its opposition to that
rule. 1t is contended by them that
the game was never so popular as
under the American league before the
adoption of the foul-strike rule.
The game has become too fine alto

more run-getting. They do not like
these 1-to-0 games-more of which
