MINES AND MINING.

1t is reported that eastern parties are
negotiating for the purchase of the Ben
gal Tiger property, situated about seven
miles west of Hill City, one of the early
day rich mines of that district and its
operations will result in some high grade
ore being handled.
Henry Schnee has purchased from O..
]. Harmon the one-stamp mill and will
place the same on his mining property
in the Burnt Fork district. Henry has
an exceptionally rich free milling gold
prospect that will pay handsomely.
Quite good deal of development work
has been done on the ground, consisting
of shaft of nearly 200 feet in depth,
and drifts on two levels which exposes
the ledge for some distance. While the
ledge is small it contains good values
and Mr.. Schnee expects to work it him
self-employing but little help to take
the ore out and then when sufficient
quantity of the precious stuff has been
secured to mill it.-Hill City News.
THE COCHRAN PROPERTY.
Speaking OF the Cochran mine in the
Rockford district, the Pioneer-rimes in
a recent issue says, James Cochran is
feeling highly elated over the ore show
ing which his recent work has opened
up on the property. For the past year
he has suspended milling operations
and has devoted his time to the explora :
ton of new lodges and in this he has
been eminenty successful. His late
work has established the fact that the
mineralized belt passing through his
ground is $50 feet wide. In that zone
he has opened up five distinct, parallel
ledges that vary in width from eight to
seventy five feet. His work this year
has been confined almost entirely to the
surface and there is no question but that
these ledges will widen as depth is gain
ed and may in fact run together in one
immense body at some distance from
the surface. What deep work has been
done, and he has not gone below 100
feet, has shown the ore to maintain its
value and the material that has been
milled from that depth has given the
most satisfactory results. 1t will doubt
less become more refractory after the
permanent water level is passed, but
with modern methods of treatment, it
can be milled as cheaply as the more
free material of the surface workings.
Mr.. Cochran is figuring on resuming
mill operations this year, having made
some needed repairs in the plant. He
has the most conveniently arranged mill
in the Black Hills and under ordinary
conditions, requires the services of but
one man in that department of bis
work.

PEOPLES Academy S. st. ]. A. }.

Saturday the Academy team lost to
the Peoples Academy team at Morris
vile by the score of 5 to g. The game
was very fast from start to finish and
the boys played winning ball all the
time. The umpiring by Cramer was the
chief feature of the game. His decisions
at times were so openly in favor of.P. A.
that the people in Morrisville did not
wonder that their team won. His
Judging of strikes and balls was the
Judging Of a man who knew nothing
whatever about the game. 1t is for this
reason that pitcher Thomas, who pitch
ed fine game, has so many strike outs
to his credit. The general opinion is
that if the ST. Iohnsbury boys had had
fair show they could have tied if not
won the game.
For the Academy team Barrett pitched
a good game, the P. A. boys making
only one hit into the out field off his
delivery. Anderson put up his usual
fast clean game at first and his running
catch of a fast liner was a feature.
Robinson and Barnett also put up good
games in their positions. For p A.,
Thomas pitched a fine game, Tinker
caught WE'LL and Raymore showed up
we'll at both second and third. The
summary was as follows:

Base Ball.
WOOdsVille High Defeats ST. ]. A.
Peoples Academy Also Win.-LOcalS
Win From Newbury Seminary.

Woodsville high school won from st.
Johnsbury Academy Monday afternoon
at the campus, to 4, in the fastest and
best played game seen on the. local
grounds this season.
The Academy boys had their usual
streak of hard luck, but it came in a
double dose this time In the fifth inning,
with the score to 2 in favor of the
locals, Clark IL Woodsville led off with
safe hit to left, Moore hunted and
Clark was safe at second. Gogner, the
next man up, hit an easy oHe to first
that got by Anderson, and although it
didn't 60 20 feet beyond the base. it
stopped in the deep grass and the whole
Academy team were not able to locate
it until three men had crossed the plate
with what proved to be the winning
runs.
Arrangements had been made that the
game should be called in time for the
locals to take the six o'clock train, which
was to stop at the campus, and it
arrived while the locals were at bat in
the last inning. With one man out,
Farman on first and the best hitters on
the team up it looked as though St. ]. A..
was at least going to tie the score, but
the arrival of the train ended the game
with Woodsville one run in the lead
Hill and Gogner were the opposing
twirlers, each striking out seven men.
Both pitchers felded their positions well.
Woodsville's two earned runs were
made in the second inning. Leland was
safe at first on Barnetts error Warren
drove Texas Lacquer over Woods head
and Hatch hit the first ball pitched for
single past Barnett, scoring Leland.
Desautels got a safe one and Warren
tailed. The next two men were easy
outs.
The Academy team went after the
game in the third and scored three of
their four runs. Farman started it
with single to left. Hill dropped one in
the same place. Both moved up base
on Anderson's sacrifice and came home
on Barnett's long drive to center field.
Fiske was next man up and gothis only
hit of the game, scoring Barnett. In the
next inning they added one more.
Woods was hit by pitched ball, stole
second and scored on Anderson's hit to
right field
In almost every inning there were men
on bases, and it was only through fast
fielding that the score was kept down.
There were several fine fielding features.
Anderson and Desautels both handled
themselves splendidly at first. The
Woodsvlle out-held received a good
share of applause by pulling down some
hard flies
