Ar cANANEA

Parties arriving from Cananea this week bring no news of special inter est from the big Sonora camp. The f.reeue-Cauanea continues develop ment work in the mines and the worK of remodeiing and over-hauling the shelter is making good progress While the people of Cauanea are hop ing for an early resumption or maxi mum operation in that district, still tbe recent lowering of the price of copper is not calculated 10 hasten that event. as the reports from the east are to the effect that Cananea VIII await a better price for copper before resuming production.

repeated the performance last year In
1907. In 1887 Toronto won In the
international league, the forerunner OF
the Eastern, and the Cadadians again
showed the way In 1907, furnishing
more evidence for the theory. At.
lanta won the Southern league flag In
1887 and 1907.
There are more instances for the
belief In the 20-year idea. Boston had
flag winners In 1877 and 1897, and
1878 and 1893 and In 1883 and 1903,
though in the last span of score Of
years the leagues were different. Chi
cago boosted pennant winning teams
In 1880 and 1881 and had champion
clubs In 10000 and 1901 In the Ameri-
can league. Arson managed the
teams in the senior body and Clark
Griffith, hisp upil, directed the clubs
In the junior organization. Between
the ages of the two there Is 20 years.
The Metropolitans copied the Ameri-
can association banner I'm 1884 and the
Giants pulled down the National
league gonfalon In 1904 One National
league team - Buffalo - monopolized
the champion batsmen in 1882, 1883
and 1884. and Pittsburg had the blue
ribbon biffer in 1902, 1908 and 1904.
According 10 the way some enthusi.
asts figure II, ST. Louis and New York,
having won the pennants in the big
leagues I'm 1873, are due to capture the
flags next season. The idea Is all
right from the New York viewpoint,
though the matter receives serious
Jolt by placing the Cardinals TO win
the National league flag.

On Sunday, March /. wayfar-

the sidewalks OF Woodward,

down town streets and avenues.
swung q coterie OF crack Ice
skaters. The glary ice of the side
walks was virtually unbroken.
In single file with locked stride,
they progressed as at rink
a sight which WAS practically
unique In the history or me
down town section.
The skaters were a buncn
that has made the McDougaa
rink headquarters for the sea
son that Is now coming TO a
close. Such well known local
cracks as Everett and William
sharp. Ed. King, Pete Schsfer
and others were the leaders or
the party. They joined in pro-
claiming that the sidewalk skat-
Ing was just as good as any
thing obtainahle anywhere In
town for the day, as the rain
had made the ice OF the rink ex
tremely dangerous, while the
cement walks merely retained
enough OF the water to make
the slipping good.
All over town the small boys
had gala day for every side
walk was a rink
Most OF the fun faded by Mon
day, however, as picks and shoy-
els were put at work early In
the shopping district, while the
ash heaps and sand piles or the
residence portions OF the city
were dumped on the walks TO
make footing secure.
