Fans Have Organized, and
Raise Cash to support Team
During the Summer.

Maxbass, N. D., April 30.-The sus-
! pense which has held Maxbass fan
dom ever since signs of spring began
to manifest themselves. has been re-
lleved. for 1t ia, now an assured fact
/. that Maxbass is to be represented on
the diamond during the coming sea-
son:S This fact was made evident at
meeting of the Commercial club,
when an organization was perfected
by electing G. 8. Bills manager and
w. H. Williams. VIM. Sears and. Andy
Wall as an auditing committee / The
duties of the manager will be the
usual ones incident to the proper
management of the club, while those
OF the auditing committee will be to
audit the accounts of the manager.
Under this system 1t Is thought that
proper business management of the
finances of the club can be had, thus
assuring the supporters of the club
that their money will be used for the
purpose intended.
Six hundred dollars has already
been raised and more promised. While
some of the surrounding towns have
raised more money for baseball pur-
poses. still it IL, figured by the fans
that none of the towns in these parts
are supplied with better local talent
than Is Maxbass.

EVERYBODY WORKED
Track Team Men and Baseball
Players Out Strong on Mon
day Afternoon.


It was a case of. everybody worked
by father, and even father stood by
and directed the work at the univer-
sity Monday afternoon. Baseball
players and track team men were out
strong during the entire day, and some
first-class practice was the result.
The Monday practice was the long
est and hardest that the Varsity base
ball team had been put through. All
Of the men showed up in excellent
form. In the fielding and batting de-
partments, all of the men had an OPP
portunity to show their ability.
The track team work was also con-
sidered very good. There were more
of the boys out Monday than there has
been so far this season. The track
and field are in first.class condition,
and some very good work was done.

MAR00NS LOOK
THE STRONGEST
Northern League Managers
Have Had to Get Hump on
Themselves Lately.

The pace set by the Marccns of
Winnipeg has caused furry among
/ the Northern Copper Country mana
gers. The Calumet and the Houghton
teams are securing the country look
Ing for the best material possible.
Wtnnipeg's showing at Minneapolis
where they defeated the fastest semi
professional teams in the> twin cities
and also the Varsity club Is taken to
mean that Ii the other teamss in the
league wish to be in the race for the
pennant that they will have to "can"
some of their present players.
Will be at War.
1t is known that the Aristocrats of
Calumet and the Giants Of Houghton
will be at war this year and that
neither money nor hard work will be
spared by either in an effort to outdo
the other. Calumet's winning of the
pennant last season was always aues-
toned by the Giants who Will en-
deavor to walk SO far away from the
Aristocrats this season that there will
not be the slightest question of su-
premacy.
But while the two copper country
teams are watching each others move
ments with cat-like vigilance, the Ca
nucks are framing up bunch of per-
formers calculated to make the other
clubs look like lot OF amateurs.
The Canadians went out for the
grand old rag" in 1906tbut repeated
descriptions in the Maroon ranks put
the club out of the running.
Short on Hitters.
From present prospects the White
Sox will have a swell fielding team;
but that is about as far as it goes.
Outside of Big Mccormick there is not
a player in the bunch that can hit
around the 300 mark. :. Pretty fielding
is a grand sight for the fans but it
will not. win ball games. What Du-
luth needs is about eight mere men
that WELD the willow if it hopes to
be in the running for the pennant.
Duluth may get Bill Mutter. who was
with the Giants last year; but moth
ing definite has been decided upon.
In his skirmishes Kid Taylor. man
ager Of the Giants has landed r.. G..
Patterson of Cleveland, second base
man, and 8. N. Miller of Milwaukee,
an outfielder., Both men reported

OPERA COMPANY
ENTERTA|NS D|Az

City of Mexico, April 29.-The John
c. Fisher Opera company, which con-
cluded an engagement of several
weeks at the Principal theater yester-
day, coming here from Havana, is
now ON its way back to the United
States. This evening the company will
begin an engagement of three nights
at the mining camp of Guanajuato,
where "Florodora." The Silver Slip
per" and "The Runaway Girl" will be
presented for the Gelectation OF the
500 Americans and numerous Mexi-
cans comprising the population of the
town: Engagements will also be play
ed at Guadalajara. Torreon, San Luis
Pctosi, Monterey and other Mexican
cities before the singers cross the
border of Gods country"
Members of the Fisher company
have had strenuous times while play
ing the Spanish American capitals. an
earthquake being among their expert
ences. Other experiences are ahead Of
them. according to dispatch from
Guanajuato to the Daily Record, which
says:
"The residents of Guanajuato are
not the only ones having. an inter-
esting time in prospect. BY the time
John c. Fisher and the members OF
his company get safely slowed away
for three days in Guanajuato, they will
|, have stories to tell during lifetime
In the United States. The sight of
four and twenty chorus girls packed
in dinky little four wheeled mule
cart drawn by four mules up wind
ing. tortuous path i'm the canon be-
tween Marfil and Guanajuato will at
least be worth the money, while the
engineering feat of ;whirling fifty foot
drops through winding. narrow
streets with turns SO frequent and so
sharp that one cannot see twenty
yards ahead or behind. will give the
stage carpenters something to talk
about for many days to come"

The Grand Forks high school track

the first appearance though not al

II the members OF the school turn odt
with spirit and determination, q team
worthy of Grand Forks and her lead
ership along athletic lines can be
maintained.
There is noticeable lack Of old
stars this year but with the untu-
tored material on hand, there will at
least be something upon which to
work for future kesu1ts. OF the old
standbys only Roddy. Ray Duggan
and Van Alstine- are on hani-the lat
ter winners of the fifty yard dash and
the high jump at the last interschol-
astic meet a year ago. Roddy did not
particinpate in last years meet but
his strength and weight should con-
stitute a field for ceaseless work in
the perfecting of the various move
ments necessary to d good athlete.

Lee Kim Fong Released.

Last Saturday Lee Kim Fong (Sam Lee) was released from the county jail upon an order from the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor at Washing ton. Readers of THE OASIS are familiar with the case, which has been in the courts number of months. Lee claims that he is of American nativity by Chinese parents, and to sub- stantiate the claim he has docu. mentary evidence, which the Im- migration Bureau of the Depart ment declined to recognize. As an American citizen he claimed the right to come and go into Mexico at will, which right the officials denied. To emphasize his claimed right Lee went before the district court in April last with petition to be recognized as a Chinese of American nativity, which prayer was granted. Later the United States attorney, on behalf of the Immigration officials asked to have vacated the order made in April, and 1t was so done. Then Lee was arrested, upon returning from trip into Mexico, and his deporta- tion sought. He applied for writ

SONORA SETTINGS.

This week Mir. G. w. Tantau. superintendent for the Sonora Quartz Mines Development Co.,, operating La Yaqui and El Tiro mines, at La Yaqui, in the Altar district, has returned tO the camp from a visit of several weeks in California. The gentleman arrived at Santa Ana Monday night, and on Tuesday went out to La Yaqui.
 The Tecoripa Mining Company, recently organized in Texas, has taken over the Providencia group of mines in the Municipality of Tecoripa, Hermosillo district, and MT. Buchan, from Childress, Texas, Is now at the property establishing a camp and making extensive pre- paration for vigorous development work. The properties are among the best in a very rich region, and goods results may be expected from their vigorous exploitation.
 Reports from the Tucabe region with regard to the properties of the Estrella Mining Company con- vey the intelligence that work is progressing vigorously with very handsome results. The company | was organized in October last by | number of practical miners work ing at Cerro Prieto and other camps in the vicinity, and it took over a group of mines beyond the Santo Domingo river, in the Mag dalena district, the promoters talk ing hold of the work themselves and giving the company the ben ent of their long experience in in Sonora, and conducting the work on the most economical scale. Such is the confidence in the property and their manage nent they have had no difficulty n raising right among their fellow yorkmen and associates in Sonora Ill the funds necessary to perform m extensive development, and at his time no stock sales have been | made outside. Later, when heavy machinery will be necessary, the '.
 
 general public will be given an opportunity to purchase shares. md money invested therein will prove well laid out.
