MINING NEWS.

ashlngt0n DIspatcn: begln- ming June 10 payments for bullion deposited at the hints and assay offices of the United States will be made in coins or bars or by check on the local sub-treasury or United States depository banks, in the city in which the mint or assay office is located, as may be desired by the depositor.
 Copper Era: Frank McGovern, of Johnson, came from Copper creek mining district, about sev- enty-fve miles north of Benson, last week, bringing samples of high grade copper, lead, gold and silver ores, from a group of five claims just sold by Clark and Scanlon to Manager Sibley. of the Copper Creek company, for $35,OOO, ten per cent of which has already been paid. The remainder will be due on the first of next August.
 Silver Belt: The stockholders of the Keystone Copper Company voted to accept the offer of John B. Newman, of Globe. who agrees to pay off the 5000 mortgage and to spend $4,000 a month for two years in development, at the end of which time he may take over the property for sum unknown or let it revert to it's owners. This knocks out the deal the Keystone made with N. L. Amster of Boston, two weeks ago, on practically the same lines.
 Bisbee Review: From local men who have recently visited the southern portion of the territory it is learned that the Greene -Cananea company is advertising for large number of men, and will probably resume operations on a normal scale at the mines on or about June l5. From the same source 1t is learned that the labor which will be employed in the future will be mostly native, and that Americans will probably be employed only in places where skilled labor is neces- sary.
 Tucson Star: President Prindle, of the Helvetia Copper Company, was in Tucson Monday last en route to the property. MT. Prindle brings the news that new rever- beratory furnace has been con- tracted for in the east and will be installed at Helvetia just as soon as the contractors can erect the same. It is the expectation of the company officials to have the fur mace in operation within the next sixty days, and is intended to bt the first unit of a large and up-to date smelter.
 Tucson Star J. J. Fisher, con sulting engineer of the United Verde Extension Mining company who recently returned from visi to the Little Daisy mine at Jerome is enthusiastic over the prospects of opening large body of ore 1T the near future in that property The shaft is down 822 feet.

Merlden, Conn, June 19.-If the New Haven club has been suffering from a bad slump this week they surely show cd no signs of 1t this afternoon when they defeated the local nine by the score of 16-4 It was the weirdest game of baseball ever played in this city and the visitors took to Stevens as duck to water. Phil Corcoran. who worked for Bone's team simply threw the ball over the pan allowing the locals to hit as much as they liked once a run was in sight he frightened up and there was nothing doing. This all happened after his team had put the game on Ice. It was a great batting feast for New Ha- ven and in the fifth Halligan relieved Stevens after which the visitors scored but three times. New Haven opened strong at the getaway. sending four and errors by Stevens and soffel In the next inning they scored once on two two-baggers by Connell and Sim mons. The locals got one in their half of this inning on a two base hit by Barbour and Cote's single
 In the fourth the visitors ran three more men across on Councils three bagger and two singles which broke up the game. Five more men waltzed home in the next period as every man on the visiting team came to bat. Six hits with total of nine bases settled all arguments. Another one came In the sixth on a pass. sacrifice and Con nell's fourth hit. The total increased to sixteen in the seventh on two hits, stolen base and Cote's error of Sher- woods fly.
 The locals tailed in the fourth, three scratch hits and an error by Havel. 1n the seventh they increased their to- tai to three on a hit, free pass to Cote and Bridges single. The last run of the game also came to them In the eighth on three hits. soffel scoring.
 The contest was too poor to retearse further but was notable because 1t broke up New Haven's losing streak. \ The score:

Boston, June 19.-R. c. Seaver suc- cessfully defended his title of state champion in the challenge round of the Massachusetts state singles tennis tournament on the courts of the Long wood Cricket club against N. W. Niles in a five set match this afternoon. During the first two sets Niles was unable to make any headway against Seavers attack. Seaver played a back court game and forced Niles to do the same by skillful passing. when the latter went to the net.
 With the playing of the third and fourth sets Niles solved this attack and won both games. The last set was taken by the champion without difficulty. Summary:
