A BIGGER DEMAND
 FOR THE WHITE METAL
The United States Mint Will Soon
 Begin Heavy Purchases.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Director of the Mint Leach announced today that he would this week resume the purchase of fine silver for subsidiary coinage. He states that he expects to purchase about 125,0 ounces each week for an indefinite period. The first purchase may not be made until early next wek.
 Director Leach said he was confi- dent 'the purchases would be made as long as there was an active demand for coins. The mint now has on hand only about 5,000,000 ounces of fine silver and this supply would soon be exhausted at the present rate of demand.
 Early in the summer the call for sil- yer dollars became more active and soon the supply was practically ex- hausted. Attention was then directed to halves and other subsidiary coins, with the result that now there is only about twenty-one million available, notwithstanding the fact that In Sep tember $634.000 in silver subsidiaries was coined and added to the stock on hand.
 MT. Leach expects a still stronger de- mand when the cotton crop begins to move and his decision to purchase more silver is in anticipation of this demand.

AT ALBUQUERQUE-


 berg yesterday received a letter from Gus Hetling saying that Speer. the left handler, Dick and himself, of Wichita, were at Albuquerque playing ball in the tournament games during the irrigation congress. Gus stated that they would like to come on to Phoenix if winter ball was going to be played here. MT. Goldberg has not answered the letter yet, not know ing what will -be the outcome of the efforts to secure a professional team. From the general talk it does not appear that the money would be hard to raise in Phoenix if some one would take the initiative or if a committee of men could be secured to make up the guaranty fund. A meeting was called at Tucson night before last by Manager Skinner to talk over the tournament bVe for some reason it was not held,i the fans not showing up as expectedA The Tucson papers state that Manager Skinner will communicate with the Portland club which is talking of making a trip through Arizona at the close of the coast league season. Twelve mem bers of the club will go east about the first week in November. J. Han cock. a southpaw pitcher, has ar rived in Tucson.

Louisville, Oct 1.-The National Model License League. an organiza- tion Of distilers, brewers. wine mak- CTS. wholesalers and retailers, with headquarters here. will begin tomor- row the distribution of an address to the saloonkeepeTs of the United States. An attempt will be made to place the address in the hands of ev- cry retailer in the country. The ad- dress is written by T. NJ. Gilmore, president of the National Model Li- cense League.
 Every retailer throughout the na- ton is called on to obey the law and meet the will of the people. Atten- ton is called to the fact that people are opposed to the lawless saloon and the evils which have been connected in greater or less extent with the sale of alcoholic beverages. Saloonkeepers are warned that they must either re- spcct public sentiment and obey the law. or lose the legal right to do busi- ness
