The Base Ball Scandal

The scandal, connected with the base
ball game between Lovelock, and Elko
on the 5th of July, is not dying out very
fast as will be seen from Enrol Taber's
card in this issue. Enrol, as acting
captain of the Elko team, is Justly is
dignant over the report that he was con-
nected with the purchase of Witt and
Kelley, the Lovelock pitcher and
catcher. He emphatically denies the
report and asks for evidence that will
unmask the parties who made the deal,
If such deal was made. He is doubtless
sincere in his request, but it is almost a
sure thing that he will not get evidence
sufficient to convict any one of the cor
rupt deal. But whether he does or not,
he expresses his opinion of them in very
strong language and lets the world
know that his skirts are clean. We do not
believe any one here charges any of the
boys who played the Lovelock team
with turning the trick or being in any
way connected with it. We believe,
however that the trick was turned.

A Bio Undertakiaa

State Engineer Nicholas has returned
to Carson from Wells, where he went
to inspect the project of the Pacific
Reclamation Company, company
headed by Mel Badt, of Wells. they
will reclaim IA, 900 acres of land 10 miles
north of Wells. The company has been
incorporated, the project approved and
$4,000 has been put up to pay the
Utah Construction Company for the
work of building the reservoir and
canals. The project will gather the
waters of Bishop, Trout and Burnt
Breeks into an eight mile long reservoir,
transmit them in main canal Is miles
long to the Badt ranches and will in
clude distributing laterals and other
necessary construction. No land will
be sold until the project is completed far
enough to guarantee water for the next
year. The company is composed of Mel
Badt of Wells, Gutman and Palcus of
New York and Seigel of Salt Lake City,
is, amply financed and has no stock or
bonds for sale.
Mr. Nicholas visited the Spence mine
at Spruce mountain, As miles south of
Wells, where the only smelter working
on silver, lead and gold ores in the state
is in operation. Ed. Spence owns the
mines and the smelter. He turns out
four bars of silver and gold bullion an
hour, net of about $1,000 a day and
has ore enough to run the stack for 60
days yet. Spence is the man who first
declared that Ely would be a great
copper camp and he was hooted at.
He was then general foreman of the
Chairman mine. He located lot of
ground in what is now the heart of Ely
copper district but was unable to hold
it on account of the large amount of
assessment work required at that
time.

Twin Falls and Salmon River railroad,
being built south from Twin Falls,

ly according to Hoyle. The captain may be bow-legged and the ugliest man on the team, but his is the right of way ahead of the rest of the bunch. He's the bell-cow of the herd. When he has led them to the center of his half of the field he stops on his toes, turns and heaves the ball at the nearest-way to- the heart of the man behind him; and he, in turn, passes the compliment on to his next rear neighbor, the whole team in the meanwhile spreading out in, circle as effectively and precisely as society cut ups In a German figure.
 Finally the ball comes back to the captain. Just to show that it's the same to his men in the air as on terra frma he takes a swat at the ground with the ball. On the first bounce a lad from the bunch darts out and hurls himself at the defenseless ball as 1t bounces along. If he happens to come down on top of 1t, ker-hop, and persuades the pig skin to remain beneath him, then his "fall on the ball'' is applauded by the teams supporters, who are ready to yell at anything, from touchdown to Il yaller dog scooting across the field.
