Jasper, Is; Sequachee, 4.

Several of our players went to JAS
per Saturday afternoon with the hope
of getting players enough there to
have a game with the P. l. team.
They had neither pitcher nor catcher,
and two of the five that played we're
aged fourteen and fifteen, Cunningham
and Houts, respectively. Morrison
volunteered to pitch the game and
Mosly. of Inman, was picked up to
catch it. Morrison was pretty wild,
but when he did locate the plate was
hard to hit. After the fourth inning
Mosley quit and Alton went in for Sc
quachee, pluckily doing the best he
could.
The P. I. line up looked so much
like the famous Jasper Giants line up,
with the two Brewers, Alexander,
Griffith, and Darr, that we call it JAS
per. Dixon, the kid pitcher, did the
twirling, but two base hits in the sew
enth giving Sequachee three runs,
caused him to retire in favor OF z.
Brewer.
Altogether the game was about as
rotten as we have ever witnessed, al
though some nice catches were made.
Houts made fine one hand catch IL
center, and Hall took in two difficult
flies in left Foster and Hall, of Jas
per, both assisted Sequachee, and af
ter the fourth inning there were SC
many changes in the lineup, that il
would be impossible to enumeratt
them. Griffith, who played second fol
Sequachee, played his first match game
and proved cool player, although ex-
tensively guyed.
This is Jasper's first victory ovel
any team for the year. The P. l.
team defeated Sequachee earlier in thu
season.

SPECIAL 1'o THE NEWS

New York, Jan. 20. Dynamite is
being used to clear the ruins at King
ton, Jamaica A number of warships
are anchored near the city and marines
are assisting the local authorities in
preserving order.
Looting has been effectively checked
by the execution of a number of negroes
who were caught in the act. The
ghouls were shot down without hesita-
tion.
The bodies of eighty school children
were recovered yesterday from the
ruins of the schoolhouse, which collapsed
at the first shock.
Thirty thousand residents of Kings
ton are camped outside the city in tents
and hastily improvised huts.
There is much suffering and the sani-
tary conditions are extremely bad.
The lighthouses in the harbor were de-
stroyed by the earthquake and the con-
ditions generally are so changed that
the warships move about behind
launches, which are sent ahead to take
soundings.
Rear Admiral Robby d. Evans, who
was at Guantanamo, Cuba, when news
of the disaster reached there, is being
commended on both sides of the Allan
tic for the prompt measures he took in
rendering assistance to the stricken
city.
Without waiting to consult Washing
ton, or ask for instructions from any
one he sized the situation up, arriving
at the conclusion that, as there were
no English troops at Kingston, the me-
groes would at once commence to loot,
So, to prevent any such work, and for
the purpose of protecting the whites,
Rear Admiral Evans sent the battle
ships Missouri and Indiana and the tor
pedo boat destroyer Whipple to the
place at top speed, with instructions
to land Yankee Bluejackets on English
soil without saying "By your leave" or
anything of the sort, so long as order
was preserved.
Both battleships have full compile
ments of marines, rapid-fire guns and
all sorts of small arms, and are able tc
protect the whites against any amount
ofnegroes.

GARFIELD PLANTS
GET LITTLE ORE
Bitter Complaint is Made About
Failure of Rio Grande Road to
Deliver Amounts Con.
traCted For

Salt Lake, Jan. 19--Accor ling to the
Deseret News wagers of $1,000 are
offered that the Garfield plants will not
be worked to full capacity this year
owing to failure of the Rio Grande
Western Railroad to provide trans
portation facilities from Bingham. In
December the railroad delivered only
5000 tons of ore, at the Utah Copper
Company's plant, altho 80, 600 tons had
been promised.
The Boston Consolidated has exper-
fenced the same trouble and in the
place of getting ten cars of ore day
as it should, the average has been no
better than three cars. Other mining
companies have Jared lil< ewise. The
Utah Copper Company has run at a
loss during the past few months in
order to maintain its organization.
With copper selling around Is cents
pound and unable to get to market
with their ores, mine managers are on
the verge Of fighting madness. The
railroad company, in explanation, says
it is impossible to get cars in which to
haul the ore.
Manager Jackling confirmed the
statement regarding u tab Copper.
I'VE have had mighty shabby treat
ment from the Rio Grandc Railroad
Company, declared Mr.. Jackling, 81
will add to the statement that we have
found out from experience we cannot
depend on what officials of the road say
and this appears to be the case from
the top to the bottom of the roster.
The Rio Grande Western Railroad
Company cannot be depended upon for
anything: not at present at least"
1t was learned that the object of the
trip to Denver OF Manager Lafayette
Hanchett of the Boston Consolidated
Mining Company is for the purpose of
threshing matters out with General
Manager A. G. Ridgeway. The mining
company officials, it is said, have been
able to get but scant satisfaction out
of the railroad company, so Mr.. Han
chett decided to see what could be done
. through a personal interview with that
official. Like the Utah Copser Com
pany, a the Boston Con-, has been push
ing construction work at it's new Gar
field mill with all possible speed, but
Mr.. Hanchett has reached the conclus-
ion that all this haste is needless if it
is going to be an impossi bility to get
sufficient ore to keep the plant III oper-
alton.

WOMAN'S BRAVE fight
INBLINDING SNOW STORM
Mrs. II. A. Dyer, the Female PrOspectOr, Gets
Caught in Big Furry, Leaves Her Wagon.
Loses a Mule and Walks FOrty-five Miles
into Ely, Every Step Of the Way Be-
ing a Struggle With the Elements

Last Wednesday morning, pulled
out for Ely. By that time the surface
of the snow had hardened. There were
three or four crusts, one under another,
and the mules, having small feet,
would constantly break through these
crusts. When their hoofs would sink
down beneath the first two crusts,
their struggles would cause them TO
break through the crusts Still lower,
and there was nothing for me 90 dc
but dig them out. 1t was terrible
exertion for the animals and for me.
When was about three miles from
the end of the Narrows between Os-
ceola and Corners ranch one of the
mules played out. Seeing that it
could go no further, | removed its
blanket and pack and turned it loose,
continuing with one mule the remain
ing three miles to the mouth of the
Narrows, where l spent the night in a
cave.
1.-THE next day, walked to Corners
ranch, where Mr., Wiley gave me shell
ter for the night. In the morning, /
resumed my journey to Ely, making
the last twenty-five miles in day.
"I've been in Alaska and other
countries where the Storm King holds
sway in the winter, but l can't quite
tell of any experience that will equal
nv trip from Blackhorse.
"But I'll never regret the trip, hard
as it was" continued Mrs. Dyer. Then,
rummaging in bag which she had
with her in the tent in which she is
now stopping in the little canyon back
of the Court House, she drew forth
some samples of ore. 81 didn't leave
these behind, she said. 81 would have
parted with almost every other piece
of my baggage first. The ground |
have is worth all the hardships that J
have endured.
Her ore samples have fine appear
ence, showing without the aid of a
magnifying glass values in gold, silver
and copper.

PHENOMENAL VALUES IN
ORE FOUND AT M|ZPAH

Mr.. Banigan says it is the best
surface showing he has seen in
the State of Nevada, and the
same croppings il in Southern
Nevada would turn Tonopal
topsy-turvy.
The townsite survey will be
completed within ten days OF
two weeks, and ample accommo-
dations will be made for visitors
to the new camp.
Kensinger u Honnold, who
have just completed the work
on a group Of nineteen claims,
have exposed seventeen differ
ent croppings of shipping ore, on
one Of which they obtained val
ues of BIB per cent. copper from
a three foot ledge.
Offers have been made them,
Mr.. Banigan reports, of 100000
cash for the property, but they
have decided to incorporate, and
will commence sinking a shaft
as soon as the weather permits.
Mr.. Banigan describes the
owners of the Mizpah properties
as men who are in ratively
easy circumstances, and who
will develop the mines them
selves in preference to selling.

WILL DISCUSS
DRY FARMING
Convention Called at Denver to
Investigate the Campbell
Method

The Transmississippi Dry Farming
congress, which is stirring up a great
deal of interest among the farmers of
California, will be called at Denver on
January 25th by Governor Jesse F. Nc
Donald of Colorado. The subject is of
special interest to California. for the
reason that movement is on foot to
colonize the Salinas valley with experts
at dry farming from Kansas and Ne
vada.
Dry farming, although known to
many, is science which is just coming
to it's own, and experts declare that,
scientifically used, it may do away
with all necessity for irrigation. The
Campbell method of dry farming, which
is most generally used, is to store the
years rainfall in the soil by scientific
blowing, and, by planting deep, the
moisture is always at the root of the
plants. In dry farming special harrows
and plows are used, and the subsoil
packer, one of the Instruments, pre-
pares the soil to hold the seasons rain
fall.
The call for the Congress has been
sent to every State west of the Mis-
souri, River, and assurances have al
ready been received that delegates will
attend from practically all of the States
included in the call.
The Importance of the movement to
agriculturists cannot be overestimated.
Nine acres out of every ten of
the farming land west of the ninety
ty-eighth meridian can never be irri-
gated, amp, because of slight rainfall,
most of this country must look for re-
demption entirely to some method of
scientific agriculture. The spreap of
dry farming has convinced the think
ing men that in some such method lies
the salvation of the Wesern lands.
1t is proposed at the Congress to
start a broad, unprecedented movement,
in which every State affected shall
take part, to further develop the soil
culture systems and to bring them to
the attention of the world at large.
Experts declare that the only way in
which this can be done is to educate
farmers in the science of dry farming.
A large number of Western farmers
have come from the East and are un-
familiar with Western customs.
The objects of the Congress will be
to form permanent educational inter-
state organization, something on the
lines of the National Irrigation Con-
gress; also to afford a full and free
discussion of the principles of scien-
tific soil culture and their development
in the West. Prominent speakers will
attend, and Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Agriculture has pro-
missed to be present.

Mrs. H. A. Dyer, the woman pros
pector, walked into Ely on Saturday,
after one of the hardest struggles
against the elements that a woman
ever had to face. She was caught in
the recent heavy snow storm and after
being compelled to leave her wagon on
the other side of Blackhorse and losing
one of her mules, had to walk forty
Ave miles into Ely, every step of the
way being an ordeal that would have
tested the grit of many man to the
straining point.
But Mrs. Dyer has prospected in
Alaska and various other parts of the
world, and the constant need of grit
and sturdy self reliance topass through
tight places has rubbed off from her
the ordinary feminine timidity. She
left Ely about three weeks ago to visit
her mining properties twenty-five
miles on the other SIDE of Blockhorse,
accompanied by Irwin Krauss, thir-
teen-year-old boy.
at began to storm the day after l
reached my mines," Mrs. Dyer said.
''There was furry every day and it
was impossible for me to accomplish
much. Fourteen days ago, | broke
camp and started for Blackhorse.
During the first three days, l made
only ten miles, the snow being banked
20 high along the way that when got
ont of my wagon to clear the way for
asy mules l would sink to my arm pits.
After making those first ten miles, l
saw that it would be impossible for me
to bring out the wagon with my span
Of little mules, so left it. and made
Blackhorse with the team, packing
part of my supplies on one of them and
taking turns riding the other with the
little boy who was with me.

covered my energy started for Osceola.
There l remained at theranch of James
Marriott for several days during the
worst of the storm.
