LEAGUE IF SIX
 CLUBS ID BE
 FORMED SOON
Matter Will be Presented at Minor League Association Meeting at Memphis Aver ages for Cananea Players Last Season

.Talk of a Southwestern Baseball league is again being agitated and il is believed will be taken up and pushed to successful termination when the meeting of the .ddinoI League Baseball association is held at Memphis in few weeks.
 The baseball association has been attracted to the southwest by the excellent climatic conditions and fine field for the sport The tournament at El Faso, which ended last week and especially the performance of the Douglas bunch, has attracted more attention than the doings in the cactus circuit for the season.
 The latter, however, have been well advertised throughout the mid de west and even to the far east. as evidenced by the fact that each year scouts for various clubs come nosing around and robbing local and neigh, bor hines of the pick Of their teams. These scouts certainly know the value of the southwest as a baseball center, and have probably done much to bring the matter of the formation of a league to the attention Of the association of minor leagues and kept the agitation sufficiently waTM to warrant the orianization being per fected.
 The scouts alone are not the only boosters of the sport Baseball sup porters like the Peerless Did Them Up Adonis O'Donovan. of Douglas Demon Delight, the pride of Shelter vile, etc. etc have written assocss- ton officials regarding the formation of such a league; also E. E Neff ot Fl Paso, and V R Mailing of Czn- anea, as well as several others.
 The teams mentioned for places are Douglas, Fl Psso. Cananea, Mo renci Bisbee Tucson and AlbuqueE- que. A six-club league will probah1y be all that will be formed and with seven clubs bidding it is necessary that soneonh move in the matter locally before many moons e1apse-
 Two of our former Muckers showed up strong in that Fl Paso tournament They were good enough for O'Dono- van to place in his lineup, dispiacing for them one who had played with the team all season. Earthnian aud Ward, who alternated at second for the Demons in that series just closed played star games throughout and when the victors returned amid the blare of bands and tumultous shouts of the townspeople, there were just as many cheers for Earthman and Ward as there were for some of t.lose who had been with Douc!as all sea son. It only goes to show that they are not half bad, after a;: Teddy Bear Wilson, had he preferred to give up his job for . week, could have played the outfi2'1 for Douglas in the same series. lie md the 3f- fer but decided to stick to the job

An attempt to sbreak out of the branch county jail here was foiled Tuesday night by the timely arrival of Deputy Sheriff Bill White and Con stable Twomey. upon information furnished by an Italian woman who lives in the rear of the jail and heard the prisoners on the second floor saw ing and prying away with might and main at the brick wall.
 The occupants of the white ward are B. |. Lacey and Buck Bedinger, wanted for smuggling opium into the country. When the officers arrived there they found small hole in tho wall, but not large enough to ad- init the passage of mans body. Sev- eral bricks and their accompanying mortar lay scattered about the floor, while Lacey and Beddiager were standing to one side looking as inno- cent as though nothing had been go- ing on out of the ordinary.
 At first the instruments used in digging out the bricks could not be found, but later a jagged portion of a stove, broken from that which heat. ed the cell, was found. Nothing could be learned from the prisoners,

 Sheriff Skoglund ordered the sold iers to remain quietly in their cars. The presence of the military excited no comment from the sorrowfuI men and women about the mine.
 Pent up grief and anger were un- checked by officers today. and even when an orator mounted the sand sealed shaft of the mine, the sheriff, single handed. calmed the situation.
 The climax came when James Witherell, veteran miner, Ieaped to the shaft and harangued the crowd of weeping women and suIlen men.

LEADv|LLE AND NE|GHBOR|NG
 PROPERTIES PROGRESS TOLD

The Leadville shaft, row 120 feet in depth. will be 4xS feet in size. with two compartments. There is a level now at 100 feet. and it is he inten- | ton of the company to cut stations and run levels at each subsequent 100 feet depth reached.
 As the shaft is sunk on the vein, (the angle is about 31 degrees). and as the vein was continuous after first encountered at a depth of about Is feet, ore is expected to be struck i'm mediately on the commencement of further sinking A production of S25,O00 before the attainment of a vertical depth Of 100 feet, is the en- yiable record of this property. The vein was from to 1-2 feet in width. and its length-so far as explored in the neighborhood of 160 feet. The area represented by these dimensions was mostly ore. the ore shipped (3s cars) averaging approximately 40 per cent lead and OK silver. When work was discontinued in the shaft there was plenty of god ore in the deepest working, 35-foot winze on the. 120 level. @ feet east of the shaft
 Work is also to be done, as already stated, on the Hard Cash claim, at a point about 3,2OO feet east of the main shaft Here there is an incline 20 feet deep. on the vein, and it will be sunk deeper This vein carries and can be traced the full length of the Hard Cash and Gold Coin claims. 5000 feet. This ore runs per cent in copper. and probably higher in sil- yer. though it was assayed for cop per only.
 Other inviting si dn the property include the .arsowing: On the Gold Coin, 25-foot inclined shaft, together with 75 feet of work drift ing on the ledge, with copper-silyer ore disseminated through vein 3 feet wide-a continuation of that on the Hard Cash; on the Martin, an in- cline Is feet deep. vein system feet wide, with ore scattered through it, "a carload of rich lead-silver ore shipped from this claim; on the Lead vile No. 2. 50 or 70 feet of work in lead and iron; on the Wedge, inclined shaft 50 feet deep, iron and tale. About 1000 feet of work, in all. has been done on the eleven claims of the group.

mining men are wrong in their pre- dictions. this famous old property can and will repeat it's record of decade ago. All it lacked was paltry few thousand dollars. to timber the shaft, install machinery, unwater the mine and control the slight water flow. and then proceed to take out ore while sinking deeper. After the plac- ing of machinery it remains for the operators to carry on work according to their means. doing great deal of development work. or paying partic- ular attention to making ore ship ments,-which 1t is believed can be made at once. as stated. by simply sinking deeper on the ore vein.
 The California & Paradise com pany therefore has an exceedingly val uable opportunity to make producer cheaply and quickly-an opportunity that the company seems to fully ap- preciate and is evidently trying to make the most of.
 Quick action is what the people of this district now want. and 1t looks as if quick action is what they are going to get. The installation of ma chinery on the Leadville wzl alone benefit the camp; but if ore in en- countered. then. as soon as sinking is begun. the way will be paved, at least for the boom which is merited and which we all so much desire. And the beauty of it all is that we must needs wait for possible results only a few weeks-probably until not later than Feb. 1st, next.

Notices are Served

Inquiry was made this morning as tc why the city permitted this condi
 tIon to exist. It was learned that no
 uce has been served on the property owners o fthis block 70 remove the old board walk and to replace it with new and that no attention had been paid to the notices served. It is there fore up to the marshal to notify the street superintendent to remove this dangerous walk. If the walk was torn up bodily, top, timbers and braces. cleared to the earth, 1t would result in a comparatively smooth surface, and at once remove the dangers and traps which now turk for the pedes- trisns. It would be unsightly. certain ly, but it would remove the possibility of law suit for the city. BIsbee has been beaten in court in a suit which arose under similar conditions. from a fall over pipe. The result was heavy damages. and if the proper asi- thorities of this city are desirous of preventing an action for damages against the city, as they undoubted- ly are. they will not further delay in taking action and removing the walk.

Trap for Pedestrians

The sidewalks on the south side of Tenth street, between H and Railroad avenues, have long been in a dan gerous condition This condition has been growing constantly worse and those who have occasion to pass ov- CT them, especially at night going to or from the r. M c. A. building or elsewhere, have been and are con stantly menaced. It was hoped that when the order went forth for the laying of cement sidewalks on Tenth street that this would be the first point to receive attention. It seems to be left for the last
 An inspection of this block this morning showed at least eight spots which are dangerous to men, women and children, with as many smaller spots dangerous to women and chil- dren. The board walks are simply full of holes and weakened places. An accident is liable to happen at any hour to some unwary foot pass enger. In case of such an accident, i If a leg is broken or a person is otherwise injured from the defective nC ss of the walk, both the owner of th , property and the city are liable.

WOODEN WALK |S DANGEROUS TO
 PEDESTRIANS

DOOGLsASs EAOF f.-topecial J.
 The incongruous state of affairs of work being started for new cement sidewalk on one side of the street, while directly across the street from that point there exists the worst and most dangerous sidewalk to be found in the city, was presented on Tenth street this morning. On the one hand a walk is being laid where the earth is packed hard and smooth, where there has never been a walk and where passage is absolutely safe for pedestrians, while on the other side of the street there is an old, rickety worn out walk, full of foot traps for all. It is, of course, pleasant to see the progressiveness and public spir- ttedness of the property owner who at once proceeds to obey the mandates of the city. as is the case where this galk is being laid and such actions are commendable. It serves a double purpose, for it will not only improve the conditions where it is laid but it also calls especial attention, by con trast. to the disgraceful condition of the walk across the street

FULL OF PROMISE.

The number of cattle being fed for
the spring market in Oregon is far
short of the usual. in the Echo dis.
trict, where the number was 1000 last
year, but 1000 are being fed this win
ter. New mills for reducing alfalfa
to meal are consuming large quanti-
ties Of what was formerly part of
the bay supply, and this with the some
what shorter crop of alfalfa reduced
the number Of stall fed beef from 1000
to 1000. Reports from other sections
reduce the mum mbers of feeders in the
state to about one third the usual aver
age. That the condition will be re-
fiected later on in higher prices for
beef is likely. unless imports from
California or elsewhere shall hold the
market down.
The condition challenges attention.

stockmen all over the state to care

industry. A great packing company
has planted itself in Portland. and
within few months will have great

demand for livestock that has not
hitherto been known ana volume of
livestock not yet dreamed Of is certain
to appear. The vast investment in
the packing industry must have raw
material to sustain it, and this is in
itself full assurance of both the de-
mand and volume required. such as
stockmen and farmers can always
count on. To stimulate the industry,
it is fundamental that the packing
people must maintain prices. and with
prices, volume and demand thus as
sured. the producer must see ahead an
incentive for expansion of the bust
ness. The success of the alalfa mills,
the higher prices for the hay. the new
market for livestock. the millions of

packing. all this. in the face of the
reduced reserve of fed cattle at this
time, is glittering prospect for the

ANOTHER STONE AGE COMING.


The extravaganza of Americans in
building with wood is we'll known by
the statistics of losses by FIRE. Our
per capita loss is nearly eight times
that of Europe, though we have the
best fire lighting apparatus in the
world. The reason is that brick and
stone are more extensively used
abroad.
! 1t is fortunate that cement is COM
ing into favor for general building
purposes, for wood, always expensive
on account of its com mbustibility and
poor wearing qualities, is no logger
cheap at the start and is sure to rise
rapidly in cost. Moreover. il the
waste should continue another 80
years, no timber would remain.
That cement is destined to find al
most universal use in building, every
one believes who has given attention
to the subject. In the production Of
cement the United States has come to
the front since the Columbia expo
sition when GERMANY was supreme.
In 1886 this country produced 150, 900
barrels, and in 1907 tho amount was
40, 1000. 900. 9'be figures for last year
promise to show an astonishing in
crease.
To the reinforced concrete business

ed dwellings poured" 10 day ao-
cording TO the Edison plan, or built
of tconcrete lum ber" slabs made at
a central plant. For small houses it
may become common practice to plas-
ter the cement on metal mesh.
But for all the assurance that new
stone age is coming, there is no reason
to suppose that wood will not be
wanted. There are many things for
which it is indispensa BILE. And the
forest must be protected for the sake
