For years Fielder Jones, captain
and manager of the Chicago Ameri
can league team, has been famous as
left fielder, a fame which suits his
front name. Jones is native of
Portland, Ore, and began playing
ball in that city. About ten years
ago he played with the New York
state league team at Binghamton,
then with Springfield, and was picked
up as good thing by the Brooklyn
Nationals. From Brooklyn he went
to Chicago. Jones is in high class as
a batsman and base-runner, but it is
his fielding work that counts most in
his record.

THE FIRE DIDN'T
TROUBLE THE BUYERS
Hereafter Ely Jumbo VIII BE On the
Regular Call and Promises
Well.

Although the fire yesterday after
noon came very nearly destroying
the Ely Mining Stock Exchange
headquarters, it did not interfere
with the call. Had the blaze oc-
CURED half an hour later it would
have caught the buyers in the mid
die of the call. AS it was, they adj
journed to the street for about ten
minutes and got back in time to buy
300 shares at a total cost of
$1,016.50.
Ely Jumbo will be on the regular
call hereafter. 1t promises to be a
very active stock.
During the morning call Black
horse Phoenix sold at 8 and Z 1-2c,
1000 shares having been disposed of.
Five hundred shares of Blackhorse
Gold Treasure went at l 4 1-2c, while
800 of Ely Jackpot went at SC and
| 900 at Z 1-2c. Ely Bonanza Cop
per went at SO lie and 53c, 200

Only four sales were made during

RAMSEY BONANZA
HAS RICH ROCK

RAMSEY, New, June 5.-The wis
dom of the Bonanza management in
hiring guards to watch over its i'm
mensely rich ledge has been demon
strated recently by the appearance in
Reno of some highgrade material
that was taken from different mines
in this camp. The Bonanza company
has had a set of guards on its No. 2
shaft ever since Bennett struck his
wonderfully rich ledge in that shaft,
and for a week or so after the guard
was mounted it was thought that the
company was stretching a point in
this matter. Now it appears that
stitcn in time saves a lot of trouble,
and the company is being congratu-
lated on its foresight. The shaft on
huge ledge of shipping ore, a differ
ent ledge from the Bennett struck in
No. shaft. The company announces
that it will push development as fast
as possible, for it is now certain that
the Bonanza holdings will make a
wonderfully rich and extensive mine.
The Bennett ledge alone opened up
on the Hidden Fortune No. 2, would
make a big property of this mine, but
the company has no less than four
lodges, and the latest strike is in
line with the development of the
property by sinking and crosscutting
all these lodges at or near water
level.
As to the high grading, it is only
fair to say that none is being done
underground. That which appeared
in Reno was surface stuff. but Of
it is claimed two made good wages
with hand mortars after a weekspent
in the district collecting specimens.
There is a streak in the Ramsey
Comstock so rich that a man with a
hand mortar could make himself
rich could he have access to it.
There is one in the Consolidated,
one in the new Comstock. and one in
the Bonanza, all of the same charac-
ter. On the surface of the Walk
over there are half a dozen stringers
that run into the thousands in value.
The Starlight fraction shaft also car
ries a streak of exceedingly high
grade ore, and the "Bullfrog" Clark
property has one. The Belcher mine
might be robbed of fat sack of

lieve of every owner of racing sta
bic on this side of the water, as well
as of many Americans. 1t is a great
thing to win the derby, the most ia
nous race in the calendar of the rae
ing world, and how proud l am to
have accomplished this, l have not
words to express. | am very, very
proud and very, very happy, especi-
ally as Orby was bred and raised in
my stable, | having brought his dam
from America as a filley. | cannot
say that l felt sure of winning, but
still | had the greatest confidence in
Orby and was sure he would give
good account of himself. He is
grand horse, and if all goes well he
will add many laurels to this, the
greatest of ali racing honors. Orby
is entered for the Royal Hunt cup at
Ascot this month"; as well as for the
st. Ledger, but | have not had time
to decide whether he is to run or
not; l think, however, that he will"
Asked what he had given Reiff for
winning, Mr.. Croker replied:
That is between Johnny and me;
| would like you to say, however,
that the report that | offered Maher
$500 to ride Orby, is without foun-
dalton. Maher would have ridden
for me il he could, but he had a pre-
vious engagement and | made him
no offer of any kind"
When asked by the Associated
Press this afternoon about the New
market incident, Mr.. Croker said:
Don't say anything about it. 1t
was forgotten long ago."
Even before he left the track Mr.
Croker was handed many congratu-
latory kilograms and there was an
avalanche of such messages awaiting
him upon his arrival in London. His
secretary had spread them all out
unopened on large table. The ca
Diagrams from America were on one
side and the kilograms from all parts
of Great Britain on the other. To-
gether they more than covered the
table, and hundreds more came in
during the evening. These messages
seemed to please Mr.. Croker greatly.
For the moment he became young
man again and was even more eX-
cited than his niece, Mrs. Bowman,
who ran around the table picking out
the messages addressed to her. AS
the pile of American cablegrams
grew, Mr.. Croker looked supremacy
happy, and said to the Associated
Press:
please send my thanks and best
wishes to my American friends. 1t
will take me weeks to answer all
these personally"
Aside from the enormous prestige
from winning the blue ribbon of the
turf, Mr.. Croker made a fortune. Be-
sides the stakes of $4,000, he had
the opportunity of making any num-
Der of bets about 10 to /, and finally
the value of Orby has increased to
such an extent that Mr.. Croker may,
if he desires, sell him for an i'm
mense sum. In one way and an
other, his financial fruits are placed
at about $250,000.

GRAND JURY MAY
RETURN SEVERAL
INDICTMENTS
A Large Number of Witnesses Were
Examined During Yesterdays
Session.

The grand jury was in session all
day yesterday considering several
criminal cases that have been on the
calendar for some time past. The
inquisitorial body will probably be
in session for several days, as there
are numerous matters that must be
taken up before Judge Brown of the
district court. The court house was
crowded all day with witnesses who
testified before them. Although the
proceedings are secret it is under
stood that indictments will be
brought in most of the criminal
cases that have been brought to that
body's attention. The evidence dur
ing the preliminary examinations of
some of the defendants was of such
a nature that there is very little
doubt but that the grand jury will
find it necessary to indict the pris-
oners for trial before the higher
court.
Among those whose cases will be
taken up are the following: Verne
Beard, charged with assault with in
tent to kill Joseph Householder on
April 23; Frank Clayes, charged
with grand larceny in that he took
300 lGOll lHe NeD6I StIOOH, bCol
Trebeno, charged with assault with
intent to kill Robert Monahan on
May 2Sth; John Winton, charged
with forgery, and Dan Green and j..
NJ. McNally, charged with assisting
in jail breaking, and Fred Lopez. ac-
cused of assault with intent to kill.
All but the last named are in Jail.
Loper was never captured, although
he was located at one time in Los
Angeles He is the man who on De-
cember 1G, 1906. attacked Birdy
Shocks at Blackhorse.
District Attorney Eddy stated that
no indictments are likely to be re-
turned until the grand jury has COM
pleted it's work. The entire number
of indictments will therefore proba-
bly, be returned when the report is
submitted to the court.
Ed. Willard is foreman of the
grand jury and the following named
persons are the other members: o.

GOOD Mines IN
LYNN DISTRICT

Charles Happier and Hugh Jones
came in from the Lynn district on
Maggie creek, west of Elko, recently,
says the Elko Free Press. Mr.. Kap-
pier had in his pocket a phial of gold
taken from dozen pans of gravel
from one of his claims. Some of the
nuggets We're as big as peas. The
phial contained $7.30,
Roth Happier and Jones are very
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
fortunes. They have claims only a
few hundred feet from where Ole
Elliott has ten men at work. Ten
more miners from Goldgeld, in the
employ of Elliott, are expected to ar
rive at the new camp soon. Elliott is
running a cut on ledge matter, and
is said to have a ledge twelve inches
wide which assays $3.50 in gold.
There are fifty men at work in the
camp, most of whom are working
their own properties.
At an election recently held, Hugh
Jones was elected district recorder.
Mr.. Happier tell of two old miners
who recently arrived in camp from
placer mining for many years. One
was disguised with the formation of
the country and spent his first day
cussing the camp and signing for
California. He said that gold had
never been found in such formations
and that he knew there was not any
there. The other went out with his
pan and spent the afternoon panning
gravel from different claims. When
he returned in the evening he had a

Pensacola. Fla, July 31.-(Special.)- Hon. T. A. Jennings. who, for the past six or eight months has been prominently mentioned as a possible candidate for Governor, and who was seriously inclined to enter the coming campaign. will not become a candidate for the important office.
 This announcement will be made to- Journal, when a card from MT. Jen- nings will appear directed to the peo- pie of Florida.
 In this statement Mir. Jennings gives as his reasons that his business inter- ests prevent him from asking them to enter the gubernatorial race. He is the Vice-President of the J. P. Will Hams Company and owing to the ill- health of J. P. Williams, the head of the naval stores and railroad business. the management of this business has practically fallen upon Mir. Jennings.
 In his statement he says that Mir. Williams and those connected with the business assisted him at a period in his life when he was in financial dis tress and now that these friends are in need of his assistance he will not sac rifice their interests for his personal ambitions. and will under no conditions become a candidate for Governor. The announcement will come as surprise to every one in the State as Mir.

considering the matter of the raise in tax assessments. as suggested or rec commended by the County Tax Co H. missioner. under the authority of the State Tax Commissioners.
 The County Commissioners declined to sustain the Tax Commissioner in his recommendations for raises, and the following resolutions were adopted by them as setting forth their reasons for not doing so:
 Be it resolved by the Commission CTS Court in session:
 'Ffrst-That as a court represent ing the people, We think tax assess- ments are as high as they should be:
 "Second-That taking the compara- tive assessment from the Auditors re- port. Bullock County shows as ono of the highest. not a county adjoining compares favoMbly with it, except Montgomery. which is higher.
 'Third-That. in our opinion. cur people are bearing more than their just share of the burdens, and condi- tions do not justfy a general raise of our taxes.
 "Fourth-That in taking this action we do 1t with a full knowledge of the powers of the Tax Commissioner and our State Commissioner to overrule our action. and increase our taxes.
 rutH-1 nat m so OOlHS, putoeh will be saddled upon our people. which we believe to be unfair. unjust and out of proportion to a large majority of sne counties of the State.
 "Sixth-That our relation with our Tax Commissioner has been uniformly pleasant, and we know he has done his full duty in conscientious way. without fear or favor"
 It is now up to the State Tax Com missioners as to what the next step will be.
 A great many citizens of the county were in town Monday and Tuesday to appear before the commissioners. in answer to a summons concerning their assessments, but were informed that the whole proceedings had been called off or turned down by the County Com missioners, and there was very httIe kicking done on that score.

 The minority, having no differences to compose. Is liable to make its re- port more direct than that of the ma tority. Analysis of the two reports re- veals little difference in effect. The minority report opposes all municipal trading and advocates State control of public service companies
