IT'S A GRAND RACE.
Interest in National League Fight
 Is Intense. .

One of the most exciting races in history for the National league pennant took on added interest yes- terday by the drawing still closer together of the clubs in the three cornered contest. The New York team fresh from clean sweep of the series in Pittsburg and a run of eight consecutive victories which had put them. in the lead in the race, met with a check in Chicago, where the Champions gave them a decisive beating. At the same time the Pittsburg team won hotly contested game from Philadelphia, and, with Chicago, moved up lit tie closer to New York This morn- ing the leaders have a margin of g points over Pittsburg, while the latter team is but two points ahead of Chicago.
 Baseball enthusiasts believing that the present series in the two cities will probably have decisive bearing on the outcome of the pen nant race, are worked up to fever heat. Intense interest in the play is manifested in all parts of the country and even beyond it's bor- ders. How widespread is the hold of the national game in its present exciting phase is indicated by the demand from the island of Cuba, for instance, of all particulars of the games, full box scores of the series between the leaders being cabled by the Associated Press each night to Havana. ,-a .,.t .-.-s---. .,........,

 Holyoke, Aug 2S.-Outfielder Frank Burke was spectator at yesterday afternoons game, his first visit to the park since he was shipped to the hospital last Wednes- day, when.

Burke tt that he feels Il; ill effects from ,Sa in jury and expects to rejoin the club Monday and play his old position in right field.
 The Holyoke players will enjoy a day of rest to-day, having played the game slated with Waterbury as part of a double header in Water bury when Waterbury was also booked here.

FIGHT FOR THRID PLACE.

Holyoke. Aug. 2s.-Holyoke had her day of winning Wednesday. and New Haven decided that 1t was her chance at that little game yesterday. Holyoke occupied third place yester- day, and New Haven fearing that too much alliance with that berth for the locals would probably result in an unusual affection for third place, and would later prove disastrous to the Elm City nine. took 1t upon herself to shove the Paperweights down a peg
 The battle royal was a fierce one, full of lively aeting. and promised to extend into the extra inning sessions. It was a beautiful combat for third place and little poor playing put in appearance. The play which result ed in the third and last tally for George Bones fleet. and which banned out as the winning run. was a nasty and wild heave charged to Massey in the sixth session.

Intense excitement prevailed yester-
day at Mojave over an alleged dis
covery of an enormously rich deposit
of fine placer gravel underlying the
town at depth of eighteen feet. Ac-
the find was made on Monday in an
excavation which D. c. Clark was
making for a cesspool 1t is said that
samples of the gravel were sent to
an assayer in Los Angeles, and that
they yielded SALSA Other reports
from Mojave indicate that the al
legged find may be monumental
hoax. Nevertheless, citizens of the
desert town yesterday located every
thing in the vicinity of the supposed
strike, even stalking claims in the
streets and alleys, ard according to
one report, locating the graveyard
The news spread to Tehachapi, and
citizens of that place went to Mojave

Mining men in Bakersfield are in.

SITUATION AT
CRITICAL STAGE

CHICAGO, Feb. PA situation
which radical men say may result in
strike of railroad employees in vari-
Gus parts of the country has develop
ed as result OF a general movement
on the part of railroads to reduce
the wages of all classes of employees.
In every part of the country Off
Gals of unions comprising railroad
employees have been notified by the
railroads that general reduction of
wages and revision of working agree
ments must be made by March list.
The unions are determined that no
reduction shall be made, and the
union officials are preparing to resist
every attempt to reduce the present
scale.
In the West the situation is most
threatening on the Chicago Great
Western Railroad, now in the hands
of receivers appointed by the Federal
courts. President A. B. Stickney and
Charles H. F. Smith, receivers OF the
road, yesterday served notice on w.
j. frost, Chicago business agent of
demands a reduction in wages, and
asked for a joint conference to be
held in ST. Paul. MIMI, on March
| 9th. The engineers. firemen, switch
men and conductors on the road have
agreed to resist the demand for a
reduction and say that unless the
road recedes from it's position they
will strike
1t is more than likely that the Of
ficials of the unions comprising
employees on the Great Western Rail-
road will demand that the wage dis
pute be submitted to the courts, as
provided by the Eardman act in the
case of railroads in the hands of re-
ceivers
The road also proposes to make a
radical revision in the present work
ing conditions of its union employees.
Switchmen now are working under
an agreement which provides for a
minimum working day of ten hours.
The road proposed to change the
minimum to five hours day.
The general wage committee of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engin.
GERS will hold a conference in Cleve.
land next week for the purpose oil
taking some action relative to the
threatened wage reduction. Mem
bers of the committee have asked fol
large attendance of members from
unions in all parts of the country.

BRUTALITY At The
TOWN Of FARRELL
WOMAN IN NIGHT CLOTHES is
PUT on HORSE AND
DEPORTED.

J. S. Slider a mining engineer Of
Denver, sent to the Seven Troughs
mining district to expert properties
for number of Denver capitalists,
an describing his trip into that min
ing district, writes in a letter to
the Reno Gazette the following SEN
satiOnal description of the recent
troubles in the mining camp of Far
rel in the Seven Troughs district:
ON my arrival there it reminded
me of one of the frontier towns in
the early days, and | surely saw some
lively times for the few days that
stayed in that end of the district,
Enough l didn't care to take chance
in the town. as | found the town in
rIhe hands of a iawiess mob on my
arrival and greatest excitement pre-
vailed on every hand The tough ele-
t.n1ent filled up on on a bad brand
of good whiskey and forming them
selves into mob, they proceeded
ito'take the town by storm, and thor
coughly succeeded. Armed with Win
schesters, shotguns, revoIvers anc
bug juice, they proceeded down the
main street ordering the law-abiding
%citizens to leave or be shot Coming
TO the corner of Fourth avenue and
Main street. they set fire to the sa-
loon of j. Miller. first confiscating
his stock of liquor. Taking Mr.. Mil
Ter and his bartender, they walked
them barefooted out of town. Mrs
Miller was dragged from bed and
loaded onto saddle horse, her only
wearing apparel being a pair of slip
pers and thin night gown. She
was forced to ride out of town, with
the thermometer close to zero.
The mob was led by Curly Sulli
van. at one time member of the
Kid Curry gang of outlaws in Mon
tana, and at present wanted in Butte
City on a series of charges of high
way robbery and burglary Red
eyed Bones recently deported from
Mazuma. acted as lieutenant to Sui

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
it pays to patronize home industry.

HOLDINGS TO GO.
MeXico'S New Laws Will DO Away
With Mineral Belt MOnopOlies.

WIN MIItIttt hDVIt tNOhOpOIiOs'
The committee which was recently
appointed by the Mexican govern
ment to draft new mining laws has
completed it's labors and will soon
submit its conclusions to the depart
ment of mines.
From present indications it would
seem that the day of monopoly on
great mineral belts for prospecting
rights by men who can afford to hold
them for alleged exploration pur-
poses will soon be thing of the past
So also will be the practice of pros
pectors or alleged prospectors hold
ing for terms of three months any
section of the country on which they
can get the permission of the owner
to prospect to the exclusion of any
other person. These are among the
evils which the new proposed mining
laws seek to remedy.
Hitherto it has been the custom to
allow men of means the right to
cover large territories of promising
mineral country by what are known
as blanket locations. These are held
