operates quite as much as their splendid

assistant manager of one of them, when
speaking the other day about the wisdom
Of needing the eccentricities of patrons,
said that one night in the restaurant a
young gentleman who had brought several
friends to dine, asked for pineapple a la
something or other and was saddened when
informed that there was none of 1t left.
He sent for the head waiter and stated
that he had pineapple served in that par

RECRUITING THE BALL TEAMS
How Big League Clubs Have Been
Put Together.
IMPORTANCE OF THE SCOUT
Cases where Success in Making Deals
Has Been Largely Responsible
for n winning Combi-
nation.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Some base ball
clubs go along for years trying all sorts
OF ways to get hold of the right material
TO make a winning team and fail; some.
on the other hand, are either lucky or
judicious In getting hold of the right ma
terial and soon strike a winning combina-
ton. All have to take chances, and long
chances, on new men making good and
be ready to risk money in landing them.
The scouting business has come to be an
important part of base ball recruiting. and
something depends on the ability of the
scout which in his case is Judgment in
knowing a ball player when he sees him.
A scout who can unearth one first-class
man a season for a major league team
earns his pay.
Big league players are had by purchase
or draft from the minor leagues. deals
with other big league clubs, by taking a
man after some other team has cast him
off and, once in a great while, by picking
him up from the vacant lots. once the
material is rounded up 1t rests with thu
manager to get the base ball out Of It, and
managers also have to be on the lookout
for material.
The policy of two clubs. the New YorE
and Boston Americans, this season, ha,
been notably one of reconstruction, Will

NEW YORK HOTELS ARE MINIS
System of Joining Money Revealed
In the Dining Room
Checks.

Although it is very expensive to main
tain a fashionable hotel in New York,
every one of these huge caravansaries
keeps enriching its proprietor. These
swell places are numerous enough already
to cause some wonder as to how all Of
them pay; but that they are very profit
able there is continual evidence. Large
as they are, many of them are so crowded
at certain periods of the year that extern
sions and additions have been found nee
essary, and every now and then plans for
another big hotel are announced. One Of
the new hotels, the Ritz-Carlton. a seven
teen-story structure. costing 100000, the
erection of which was begun last year,
is to be ready for opening in a few months.
1t is at the corner of Madison avenue and
Forty-sixth street.
The breakfast and luncheon checks of
one Of the fashionable hotels, which were
spread before the public in the Howard
Gould case, afforded those unable to pat
ronize such costly houses an idea Of how
the managers succeed financially, despite
their heavy outlay. On these checks were
prices which only the wealthy or persons
careless as 10 money would be willing 70
pay from day to day. A piece OF peach
pie was priced at 30 cents; one lamb choI
at S. cents; two lamb chops, $50; half @
portion Of lima beans, As cents; a small
cup Of coffee, 20 cents; breakfast tea, 4
cents. half a cantaloupe, 70 cents; broilec
bacon. so cents; a portion OF Malag5
grapes, 60 cents: Camembert cheese, 4
cents; coffee and cream, A. cents, and 81

With the strike practically settled,

BLOWING IN OF SMELTER
BIG EVENT FOR ELDORADO

The blowing-in of the Santa Barbara
smelter, the most important event in
the history of Eldorado Canyon, proved
to be an unqualified success, says the
Searchlight Bulletin. The furnace was
first fred up early last Friday morning,
but owing to the breaking of a water
pipe through being rammed by a Stag
pot, there was an enforced shut down
until the following Monday.
1t was 3 O'Clock in the morning when
the furnace was fred with coke. Once
the Stag began to run the generator was
started up. Here, again, ensued a need
less period of nervous dread. Would
the long, cannon-like machine, when
charged with fiery Stag and fed with
oil, make the required quantity and
quality of gas or had Inventor Lodsr
erred ever so little in his plans for this
his first machine of commercial sizef
But, like the furnace, the generator
performed beautifully, making in ex-
cess of the required 800 cubic feet OF
gas per minute with about ne-quarter
of the furnace Stag.

GOLDFIELD OWNERS MAY
LEASE VULCAN NEAR BLAIR

T.. w. Thomas and H. II. Hoxworth
returned from Goldfeld on Wednesday
evening and made an inspection OF the
new find in the Vulcan yesterday morn
ing, SAYS the Blair Press. Work has
been suspended temporarily, pending
the conclusion of certain negotiations
for leases ON the ground.
Mr.. Thomas states that a complete
assay of samples from the recent find
show a grade of ore that is much bet
ter thar anticipated. The lead values
are placed at q per cent, and are suf-
fieient to reduce the smelter charges So
per ton and, with a 4 per cent value
in copper increases the value of the
product about $21 per ton.
Several applications have been
made by local parties and others in
Goldfeld, for leases, and o%vertures have
been made for the purchase of the
property. In the event of a sale not
being made, Mr.. Thomas states that
he will let one or two leases on the
ground, as other interests prevent him
giving the property the attention 1T
deserves should he endeavor to work
it himself.

TWO SUITS AGAINST
UNION 8 AND LEASERS

In discussing the status of his suits
sgsintt the Dexter company, Frank
Peterson stated to a representative of
the Manhattan Mail that the hearing
of the apex suit against Union No. .
is set for the latter part of March, and
that the suit would be pressed to ar
issue as quickly as possible. He further
stated that should the suit not be de-
cidod in favor of the Manhattan Ore
Reduction and RoNning company, in the
lower courts, it would be carried to the
supreme court of the state.
In addition to the above suit, MI.
Peterson stated, the Manhattan Ore Re-
duction and Refining company has an
other suit pending against the Union
No. 9 and its leasers for about 100000
worth of ore which it is claimed the
~leasers have extracted from the Stray
Dog property within undisputed lines.
The Stray Dog mine is under lease to
Mr.. Peterson for a number of years. At
the present time an injunction is in
force restraining Union No. 9 and its
~leasers from removing ore dumps and
other assets from the ground pending
a settlement of the suit.

FOLLOW HIGH
GRADE ON THE SPOKANE

Following a streak of high grade, the
leasers on the Spokane are taking ont
as high as six sacks a day of ore, prac-
tically every piece of which shows free
gold, says the Searchlight Bulletin.
Working from the l40-foot level a
stope is being raised through to the
level above. Here for a distance of
thirty feet or more is formed a cavern
of riches. There are two s.reaks Of
ore, one, the biggest part of a foot IL
width, averages close to SIS, the other,
ranging from a mere seam to several
inches, is the "candy.'
When viewed Wednesday morning by
n Bulletin representative it is no ex-
~aggeration to say that he was able by
the light Of a fiaring candle to trace an
endless line Of colors the length of the
stope-so plentiful was the showing of
free-gold.
