DIAMoNDrrELD Red MOUNTAIN
Assays taken this week at a deptht of
1876 feet in the shaft of the Diamondfeld
Red Mountain Mining company show
that the entire shaft is in a high grade
of milling ore. Some seven average
samples were taken and ran from $12
to ss4. A station is now being cut at
the 2oo-foot level and as soon as 1t is
completed drifting will be commenced
and at the same time the sinking of the
shaft will be continued. The incline
shaft on the property has now widened
to eleven feet between walls. Every
appearance of the formation at this
point strongly indicates the probability
of a shipment at an early date.

last spring. a large hawk haFpened to be caught. and the lad immediately set about domesticating the big fellow by tying him by leg to some heavy object that he could not fly away and then to feed him on the rabbits, and birds brought down by a 22 calibre rifle. In a short time it was noticed that ali small birds gave his majesty. sir hawk wide berth. As the weather became warm the bird was tied in the orchard to an apricot tree so that he would be in the shade. With warm weather the fruit began ripening. but the usual thing did not happen. Instead of sampling every ripening fruit the small birds gave the trees for number of rows distant from sir hawk a very se- we're letting alone. After about three months captivity the hawk learned that the crack of the little 22 rifle meant a square meal for him and seeming to Dc thoroughly domesticated he was re- leased from captivity, when he pro ceeded to follow his master on his hunting expeditions after the manner of the falcons of the older days in Eng land.

The ball is shot to the plate and one man killed; the runner at first who tries for second on the play at the plate is assassinated by Congo's quick return of the ball to second base and the original runner at second who has by this time took third starts for home. but he suffers the same fate on the second sacker's return of the ball to the home base. This made three outs ard the day was saved. and a triple killing worth mentioning was recorded. That took the wind out of PrescOtt's sails and brought the fans to their feet If the Brotherhood can play the same class of ball Sunday their future is established.
 The team was accorded the most hOspitablc treatment at Prescott. It was learned that Jerome is organiz- ing, and that the Grays will be greatly strengthened for the two games here. There is a foundation for the belief that the certainty Of defeat which stared the Grays in the face had more to do with the cancelling of the sec end game at Prescott than the wealth CT. Gromely will umpire the Prescott games, and Prescott and Phoenix are both assured thereby of a square deal.

IHE GUARDIAN HAWK
 OF FRUIT GROWERS
How the Bird Pest Problem at Buck
 eye Has Been Eliminated

Buckeye. Ariz., March 22.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican)- Although fruit of every variety that can be successfully grown in the Buck eye country, very little attention has been given to fruit raising, and in con sequence the birds and all other dam aging influences are very noticeable to those who are trying to raise fruit for family use. While the bird pest has been the most serious drawback in the past a remedy has been discovered that entirely removes that difficulty. The remedy was discovered and made known to small number of people by a young son of w. B. Bruner. of the Buckeye country. and the circum- stances leading to the discovery were recently related tos party consisting of Dr. L. M. Van Druff, a visiting phv- sician from Kansas, N. Benson and the writer.
 MT. Bruner's statement is that his son is very fond of pets of most any sort, and while having some traps set for gophers in the alfalfa fields early

James K. Mcintyre says: Tom Heath and I joined forces in 1874 and have worked together ever since. This. l think, is a record in the theatrical world. People now say Mir. Heath and myself earn our money easily. but once We had to work overtime for it. with
 few hours thrown in. In the old days We did not figure the length of our working time on the stage by min

 Barnard and Backus. Then We grad ually dropped dancing and took up the comedy side of stage work. Our sue cess in negro character impersonation is undoubtedly due to the fact that we use the pure southern dialect. We had years of schooling in the south before We ever thought of going on the stage. Everyday We came in contact with the southern darkey and used to enjoy studying his characteristics. manners. dialect.

BASEBALL TOPICS
 A VALLEY LEAGUE
A Meeting Tonight to Form organza- ton Similar to That Now Prosper ing at Tucson.

Baseball is beginning to warm up in Phoenix with the weather and the formation of a Phoenix or Salt river valley league is now on the tapis. To- night at the city hall. in the police court room. will be held meeting of the members of the ball teams, fans, business men and anyone who is at all interested in the sport. Represen- tatives from Mesa will be present and the plans will be outlined. A tempo rary organization will be effected and the wheels set to grinding. Remember the place. the hour o'clock and the purpose. and be on hands. This is an important meeting. The Maroons. the Fraternal Brotherhood. the Wood men. and possibly other mines in the city will be admitted to the league. Mesa will also be taken in and a schedule of games arranged.
 A Double Header.
 A double-header for Saturday, April 4th. is the latest in baseball cir cles. It now seems probable that this scheme will be carried out. IL prom iseS to be the greatest drawing card that could be made up at this time to stimulate baseball. on that day the Prescott high school will cross bats with the Phoenix high school. and Ihe Prescott GraYs with the Fraternal Brotherhood. A big excursion will be run from the mountain city at the spe- cial rate of s350 for the round trip. tickets on sale Friday good returning Tuesday; or till the following Monday with the additional payment of 50 cents and by depositing the tickets with the local offices. With these in- ducements a large crowd is expected here, the rooters for both the Pres colt hines. It would be unfortunate to divide the patronage by having the games at different grounds. and it is thought that by arranging a double header at Eastlake park an unusual interest in the contests can be awak- ened. The local high school team would thereby receive the support of the fans here who would be on hands to root for the Fraternal Brotherhood against the Grays Likewise the high school roofing band would be there to augment the noise for the Brother hood. The dOuble-header is something new here and appeals to the manager of the two local teams as being a good move financially for both organiza- tiOns. Prof Jones and Manager Oms- by will make the final arrangements today. The Santa Fe officials have promised to look after advertising the double -header in Prescott
 Mcs- Vs. Brotherhood.
 on Sunday at EastlalIe park the Fraternal Brotherhood nine and the Mesa Grays will meet for the first time and a scrappy contest is looked for. The Mesa bunch will have to put up fast fight if they defeat the Brotherhood. Some line on the strength of the lodge boys was ob- tained in the game at Prescott. They not only batted well but made several spectacular plays in the field. One lightning double-play from short to second to first was executed. But the most unusual pulling out of the mud occurred when the bases were full three balls charged against the batter and nobody out

new Indictment has been filed
against the ancient city OF brotheriy
love. which is thus referred to by The
Boston Globe:

strained hilarity of high school girls
n ine street cars has demoralized the
conductors and distressed elderly pas
sengers. In consequence, the principal
81 one Of the high schools is reported
70 have cautioned the girls to be more
That is decidedly new and unex-
pected one. III" says me Globe in
commenting on the charge. 'the girls
really have forgotten the proprieties
at times on the cars and have not
checked their superabundant spirits, 1t
has probably been due rather to the
natural relaxation which comes after
confinement in the school room than
to over boisterous dispositions. At any
rate. moderate amount of laughter
and Of eftervescent spirits is certainly
preferable to car full OF depressing
gloom, which one would naturally feel
in Philadelphia. Don't keep the girls
from laughing altogether. Teach them
how to laugh unsteady. for laughter
is one Of the finest Of the fine arts"
Who would have thought that in
Philadelphia the "giggling" of school
girls could cause such dissatisfaction?
Are we called on to believe that the
city is still dominated by the old
Quaker sentiment which made laugh
ing sin? We may admit that there
is stiil incentive to laughter in Phil

Jacob Riis. who is always saying
1hinxu, has found what he considers
the right place for Roosevelt when he
rstires from the presidency. He would
make him Mayor of New York, which
Jacob evidently looks on as the next
highest office to that Of President Of
the United States. Just how he would
accomplish his object is not clear. but
he seems to think the name of Roose-
welt would sweep away all Opposi-
fson--in which supposftion he is very
wide OF the mark. The Kansas City
journal takes kindly to the idea and
asserts: "That Mr.. Roosevelt would
sweep Tanamany out of power can
hardly be denied" which we beg to
deny. just the same. Stronger and
better men than Roosevelt have tried
to put Tammany down and out with
cut success. And yet. in view Of some
phases Of New York's municipal gov
eminent we can almost wish the city
such Mayor as Roosevelt would make.
