GAME LOST ON ERRORS
Mountainhome Wins From
Emmett by a Close
Margin.

Garrett's red-suited Dudes from
Mountainhome won Sundays game
on costly errors in the fourth inning
by the Prune Pickers. The score
was A to 2.
Despite the threatening weather,
arecord- breaking crowd was present
Mountainhome came backed by $50
rooters and their crack band. Those
fellows are rooters, too, and they
never let up. When they weren' t
yelling for the ball club. they were
cheering the band and boosting for
the growing little city up the line.
The band led the procession to the
ball grounds followed by the two
teams and their supporters. Gray
son and White were in the points for
the Dudes and Loeff1er and Beccue
for the locals. The former is credit
ed with 10 strikeouts, and Loef1er
had 8. In the fourth inning, with
two men out, Beccue overthrow to
third, letting in two scores. The
other two scores were made on
errors in the first and eighth. EN-
NETT scored only in the third on a
single by Beccqe, a two hagger by
HolVerson and hit by Hayes. They
were the only earned runs in the
game.
The score follows.

'Roof Garden Tragedy" Overflows the
Grand.

THE Anaconda Standard Monday Morning
April Is, 1907.
The Lulu Sutton company has
played at the Grand opera house to
some very large attendance, but the
business of yesterday broke all rec
ords. Hundreds were turned away
at the matinee, and the entire house
was sold for the evening perform
ance before the matinee was over.
The attraction was the sensational
drama called 1.-The Butterfly Girl"
and deals with the Thaw case. Ex-
cellent scenery has been prepared
and no expense has been neglected
to give the drama production that
will probably fill the Grand opera
house for the entire week, The com.
pany appears to advantage. Mr..
Wilson is the Thaw and Destefai is
the Stanford White, both playing the
parts we'll Miss Lorton is the Evelyn
and is as good as she is at all times.
The other parts do not require any
great acting, but what little has to
be done by the Misses Sutton, Keel
er and Willard is well done. Mr..
Baker deserves a line for his part of
steel and the same can be said for
Newman, Hagan and Barlow. The

Miss Willard, was hit of huge pro-
portions. This will be the banner

Goldfield Investments Pay.

Who has ever heard anybody kick
about the result of investments at
Gold6eld Nevada?
With hardly a single exception Ida
no people have received handsome
returns from every dollar invested
there. The latest report is the
strike made by company of Boise
men, Messrs. Holeran, Hutchinson
and Martin, operating on lease in
the field at Goldfeld. They have
struck, during the past few days,
what appears to be a ledge equal to
the famous Mohauk. Their ore runs
$4,000 per ton.
People who bought stock in this
company while it was cheap have re-
ceived returns on it that is really
marvellous.
These opportunities to buy stock
in good prospects are now being
offered on Goldfeld propositions in
their prime for in no period of the
history of the camp could there be a
more advisable time to buy these
stocks.
j. u. Watts, We'll known IN this
section, who is largely interested
there with other prominent Idaho
men, is offering a limited amount of
stock in his property which is locat-
ed in the very heart of Goldfield's
most promising district. The show
ing in his property is of the most
Hatterlng nature.
Mr.. Watts eonseientiously recon-
mends his friends to buy this stock.
imly believing it will make good to
them with handsome returns. He
IS selling it at 10 cents per share. A
little money invested in the Goldfeld
Cotter Mining Co. will be sure to
pay handsomely. Persons wishing
4 few shares should write him at !
)nce at Boise, Idaho.

WILL INSTALL PUMPS
To Furnish Water for the
Canyon Canal this
Summer.

Centrifugal pumps with capacity
of over 1000 inches, propelled by
electricity from the Boise -Payetts
power plant, will be the means o.
furnishing water for the Canyon ca
nal this summer.
This action was decided upor
Tuesday at meeting of the officials
of the Trowbridge-N -Niver Bond and
Trust company in Denver, Colo. A
pump has already been purchased
and the electric motors and trans
formers have been ordered to be
forwarded by express SO that there
may be as little time lost in transit
as possible.
The company also discussed at
length future plans. Two PROPOSE
tions for taking water out of the
river were considered. One is to re-
place the dam, building it three feet
lower than the old one, in accord
ance with the order of the court,
with waterway in the center for
the passage of logs and to relieve the
strain in times of high water. This
will necessitate lowering the ditch
three feet for three miles, making
it wider and doing away with the
Connaughton flqme.
The other proposition is to move
the headgate 5000 feet above the
present dam site. Under this plan
the ditch would be built close to the
river bank and there is question
as to its feasibility On that account.
1t also involves other complications
which cannot be settled until the
river is at low water mark. Which
ever plan is adopted, the work will
be we'll done and will be completed
before next spring.
During the summer force of men
will be kept continually at work i'm
proving and strengthening the canal.
Where fumes do not already rest on
solid foundations, cement pillars
will be built. At Iron Springs this
is being done now. At Chalk Point
where the South Side ditch branch
es from the main canal, the 1900
foot fume is being lined with Nal
thoid roofing and the trestles
strengthened.
In Short, the company has decided
to ge over the entire canal and |
strengthen or rebuild every weak |
spot, and thu washing out of the
dam which at the time seemed ca
lamity, may prove to be a blessing, |
