YOUNG BASEBALL MAGNATE
TAKES TEAM To DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS. Aug. I0-CSpecial) -
Those who are lamenting the lacb
of interest taken in baseball at pres
ent need not be downcast. We shall
have baseball in Douglas-good base
ball-just as soon as the young fell
lows VINO have been playing ball at
the O'Donyan enclosure this week at
tain to the age of about eighteen.
Those young fellows gave an exhibit
ton Of the national game that was an
inspiration to those who took a long
chance and went out to see them play.
Every one of them had the free. easy,
agile action of natural ban player.
AT the bat they stood up as straight
as the cut of the bali player ON the
cover of the baseball guides. In the
field not one of them ever stopped
running just as he was about to get
iunder a fly; nor did one of them, no
matter how hot the grounder, turn his
back to the ball; the nice edifying trick
that some of our adult, would-be play
ers are guilty Of In the outfeld, 1t
was cinch hat any fly ball was
an out
And, wonders of wonders, Douglas
has little kid catcher that can line
the bali down to second; and Naco-
zari has kid that can just about du-
plicate the trick.
Jimmie Douglas, Jr., betrayed the
expense Of the Nacozari baseball
team, railroad fare. hotel bill and all.

Assessment work has been com.
menced on Silver creek by Al Brock
man for Brockman and Slaughter and
by Otto c. Duffner for Duffner broth
ers.
This silver belt is one Of the most
promising to be found in any camp,
as may be believed from the fact that
at least two properties in the belt
he c. W. Melcher and the Fink and
Shaw-were operated in the eighties
or earlier, when the Indians had to be
reekoned with. There was another
problem then-that of transportation

er. Ore shipped in those days las
there was, so we understand, from the
two properties mentioned) must have
been exceedingly rich.
In this belt, there are the Savage,
the May, the Virtue, the Hugh Rowe.
and possibly others, il addition to
those previously mentioned.
With very Few exceptions, the gan
que in which ore is found on proper
ties in this belt to date is quartz; and
so far the principal values obtained
are almost invariably silver. It seems
TO be the general opinion however,
that with the attainment of sufficient
depth what ore bodies are found here
or anywhere else in this district will,
as a rule, be copper.

They had royal time coming up
on the train, according to one who ac-
companied them, and discussed the
records Of every ball player from the
time of the famous Cincinnati Red
Stockings OF $50 down to Lojoie of
the present day. Their first disappoint-
ment happened when they got off at
Agua Prieta. There, led by Jimmie,
Jr." they piled into the biggest Buzz
Wagon" in sight. About that time
"Jimmie's" father noticed three ladies'
who wanted to go to Douglas, with no
automobile in sight. He walked up to
the buzzer and told the kids to get out
and hike to Douglas; that ball play
ers never rode in automobiles. The
poor kids had to get out and walk:
but as soon as Jimmie's papa was out
.of hearing distance, young Brophy re-
marked to young Douglas, "Say, Jim
mic. let's hustle to Haas before we
meet your papa again; he may think
that ball players don't eat"
The evening Of the first days game,
when the Nacozari aggregation was
beaten in close game, young Douglas
rounded up his team and took them
over TO Hass' cafe for another feed.
And, maby, Haas wasn't lively place
during the hour that those kids held
forth there. Young Douglas overheard
young Brophy ordering double porter
house, blood-rare, mushrooms garnish,
with four nice crisp slices of bacon,
when he exclaimed: Say. Brophy, cut
that porterhouse out: this bunch takes
five dollars worth of ham and eggs;
.porterhouse is for winners" And the
bunch" took ham-and.

TAX RATE
IS RAISED
IN DOUGLAS
Budget for Year at SmeIter
City Requires Increase in
Valuation of Property Also.
Hospital a New Expense.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 10.-(Special.1-
The city council has found Il neces-
sary both TO raise the tax rate and In
crease the property valuations in or
der TO secure the funds necessary to
meet the necessarily increased ex-
penses Of running the government and
70 make up for the less Of revenue
caused by the abolition of gambling.
It was only the fact that there were
funds on hand a year ago resulting
from the license money of the gamD-
ling establishments that enabled the
city government to be conducted last
year without an increase, there be-
ing at that time about $4,000 in the
treasury derived largely from that
source.
a budget for the year was first pre-
pared which was found to be far in
excess of what the city's revenue
would be at old tax rate and yalua-
ton. BY pinching here and cutting
down there IT was found possible to re-
duce this budget by $4,000 to about
$4,000 which was deemed to be as
economical q figure as the needs of
the city would stand It was then
found That a ten mill rate upon the
valuation fixed by the assessor was in
sufficient to raise the required sum and
so q general raise Of twenty per cent
in the assessment was made all along
the line upon all property holders. This
will mean an increase TO the taxpayer
of about fifty per cent over what each
individual property holder paid last
year, so that be who paid $40 then viii
pay SIS now. The increase was ex-
planned by Mayor Greene, who said.
Il don't think we should be adverse
~ criticized because we have found it
necessary to increase the tax rate four
mills The maintenance of the new
fire department alone represnets the
money that will be derived from that
raise In this connection 1t should be
considered, too. that as a result of the
paid fire department the insurance
rat els TO be reduced to an extent that
viii make up for the increase and
leave e good balance in the city.
''The $4,000 We have appropriated
for an investigation of the waterworks
system with the ultimate view Of a
municipal water plant may not be ex-
pended, but we appropriated that much
in order to have enough. It was our
idea, if facts were wanted concerning
a municipal plant, TO go about it right
and We appropriated $500 for the pur-
pose Of covering the fee OF an expert
engineer and such other expenses as
might be encountered.
"a new expense we will have this
year is the city's share of the cost of
the detention hospital, which is 1880.
The balance of the $4,000 appropria-
tion for that institution is for general
maintenance.
fThe appropriation of $1,000 for the
scayenger service makes provisions for
an additional wagon which we viii pur-
chase. This is NEEDED, in the opinion
of the council, in order to facilitate
the work of that department. Money
spent on a sanitation, in my opinion, is
money well spent, and the fact that to
