It was our last chance, and all eyes were upon

could not run as well as usual, and only
reached third base. He was nightly ap-

to the bat.

The next two batters were put out in short

myself with the thought of how these boys

pitcher on the college team; of course, never
doubling that l would occupy that position
some day.
One day, however, week before the match,
my glorious opportunity came. was watching
the practice, as usual, when Easily, the right
fielder, was suddenly called home. Tom saw
me, and asked if "I wanted to play in Easty's
place for awhile"
My coat was off in a second, and I was
down in the field watching for my chance for
fine play"
Our players were all in their respective
positions, while Dalton, the big third d-baseman
OF the Academy Firsts," was batting the
ball in all directions, and coaching us in
fielding.

beginning to thing Dalton had forgotten me,

direction. It. was one of Dalton's regular
"sky-scrapers."

"grounder," but throwing it to "first" with
accuracy and speed-probably the only good

But my catch was regarded as remarkable,
and by the time reached home, my "head

a very brilliant play. And l was not sur
prised when Tom called at the house that
evening, saying that "Easty was not very

GAS IS STRUCK

BEEN WAITING FOR,
BORE CLOSE TO VIRGIN CITY

Gas has been struck in the Virgin river
oil field. That is what expert eastern oil
men have been waiting TO hear; that is
what all the experts who have visited
the field declared was all that was nee
essary to round out every favorable con-
dition. The news of the strike came in
a message from DIR. /. P. Benson to H.
H. (Bullfrog) Clark Tuesday night. The
message read:
Frank Bonneau has struck gas in his
well. 1t has been burning all night
The BOnneau well" said Mr.. Clark,

section p and less than half mile north
of Virgin City, and about one and three

days ago Mr., Bonneau was expecting TO
encounter the first oil stratum at almost
any time. While there is nothing in the
message to judge by, / should guess that
the strike was made at about 500 feet, and
that Oil was reached at the same time
One day last week ]. E Clark, of the

struck. Get gas" were about the last
words he had to say before leaving for
home, and he followed them up with the
prediction that, if gas was encountered
In the field, nothing could stop a rush
there as soon the facts became known.
Every oil man at work in the field has
been hoping that gas would be struck in
some of the wells. Their desires in this
respect are now satisfied and there is a
feeling here that it is only going to be
a matter of time. and probably not a very

OLD SALT LAKER
NOW IN MEXICO
Veteran John w. MorehouSe
Gets in on Good Things
in the South.

After forty-seven years OF mining In the
United States, ]. W. Morehouse. an old
time mountain miner. has turned to Mex
leo as offering the greatest advantages
to the miner of today and the money he
has made in the mines of Colorado, Utah
and Montana he is now investing in Mex
lean mines, says the Mexican Herald of
the 9Th.
He is already a stakeholder in several
properties, among others the Mexican
Consolidated Mining & Smelling company
of Guanacevi, a company headed, by j. A.
COram of Boston, who, with other stock
holders in that concern. recently acquired
a lease on the famous Palmilla mine at
Parral owned by Pedro AlvaradO. A son
of Mr.. Morehouse is operating this mine
under a lease.
MIR. Morehouse who is stopping at Por
ter's when seen at the hotel last night
stated that mining in the United States
and in Mexico were conducted along dill
ferent lines.
In Guanacevi. for example" he said,
1.-THE mineraliZed section differs from the
parts of the United States know In many
respects. In the Sierra Madre all the
veins seem well defined. while in the
states of Montana and Utah. as well as
Colorado the ore runs in chambers and
large deposits, In the states / have men

Utah, formerly a great producer of gold
and silver, is now one of the largest cop
per producing sections in Utah, and IN
this district is located one OF the largest
copper shelters in the world"
Mr. Morehouse said that III the GUIANA
cevi district there were many fine mines,
producing great amounts of silver and
gold and shipping ore right along.
Mexico is destined to be the greatest
mining field in the whole world" contin-
ued Mr. Morehouse, land I look to see
one of the greatest advances in its his
tory follow this furry in the world

demand for precious metals. Mexican
mines possess the values and unlimited
quantities of shipping and milling ore, and
with the improved railroad facilities and
increased smelteIS all over the republic,
do not see how 1t can become less than
II was in the early days when, under the
crudest methods ever employed In mining,
it Yielded ore of such richness and values
that legends are still told concerning
them"
Mr.. Morehouse stated further that the
company headed by ]. A. Coram and of
which his son, F. G. Morehouse, is gen.
eral manager, took possession of the Pal
milJa mine under their lease three weeks
ago and found the mine filled with wa
ter. but they have unwatered 1t and have
of the mine, which when assayed. proved
that the mine Is still a wonder. The lease
of the company runs for fifteen years and
Mr. MorehOuse stated that machinery has
been ordered and the company will at
once erect a new mill and make other I'M
provements to properly develop and work
the mine.

Notwithstanding the fact that the New

Mr.. MOffat, lis being sunk by contract

in addition to the force employed by the
company. The shaft is now practically

Quired to keep the mill running one shift
in addition to that which is taken out in
