his loss. but the opinion quite generally
prevails that some other Northwestern
league club will sign him up.
Percy Wilder, Rowlands latest ac-
QUESTION to the pitching staff, is pro-
nounced TO be splendid box artist. He
showed well in the Three-I league
Aberdeen was enabled to get Wilder be-
cause of the cut in the salary limit
there. Under this cut clubs are enabled
to pay only two men as much as $3.50.
Most is a big fellow, and. with Califf
and PernoIl, Aberdeen is believed to be
quite as formidable in the pitching de-
partment as was the case in 1907 and
1908.
Aberdeen finished third last season,
having been nosed out by Tacoma for
second place. Last year the club took
an awful slump. dropping from first
place to the cellar Aberdeen was weak
at bat. In1S season fIOWidiiu Has SlS lieu
I'D a club of strong hitters and good
base runners and hopes to finish in the
first division. Aberdeen will spend
much of the time on the road, which is
a drawback, but fans look for results in
the light of Rowlands promising lineup.
Play With Whitman College.
Aberdeen will be at Walla Walla I'M
til April Is, leaving that day for Spo-
kane, to open the season. The Cats
will play four games a week with
Whitman college.
More or less has been published from
California to the effect the Emperor
Julie Streib had joined the outlaw
Santa Cruz club. There is no truth
in this report, for streib has signed up
with Aberdeen.
Manager Rowland has caught on here
and already mas the confidence Of eve
rybody. AS yet he has given out no
information as to how he will play his
new men, and all that is known is that
Streib will fill the first station, as
usual, and that Mickey O'Brien will
do the most of the catching.

departure from the White House, was

Africa IS shown by series of procla
nations just made public.
1t develops that among his last Off
cial acts was the signing of a number
of documents setting aside portions OF
the pub ic lands as reserves for the
propagation and preservation of the
animals in North America.
Fire island, at the head of Cook in.
let, on the southeast coast of Alaska,
is set aside as a breeding ground fol
the Alaska moose. Chisick and Egg ISL
ands also on Cook inlet, and the island
Of ST. Lazaia, in Sitka sound, are re-
served as breeding grounds for ma

The proclamations give warning
that neither the birds themselves nor
their eggs are to be taken, except
under regulations of the department of
agriculture.
Included with these game reserves
are the Withdrawals of reservoir sites
connected with reclamation projects
in several of the western states. These
are Salt river, Arizona; East Park,
California; Deer Flat and Minidoka,

title that he has decided to leave the
$4,000 up for 80 days as challenge to
James ]. Jeffries, the only man whom
the public really wants to see fight
him. If Jeffries fails to cover up the
$4,000 in the next month, then Johnson
will give up his hopes of getting into
the ring with the former champion and
turn his attention to other candidates
for his crown, if indeed, he can find
any.

"Ketchel doesn't intend to fight me-"
said Johnson tonight II withdrew my
forfeit as far as he is concerned, but
will leave it up 80 days to give James
j. Jeffries a chance to cover it and
thus bind a match with me- I will let
it go as a side bet for match with
Jeffries, and boost it $4,000 if Jeff feels
that way agout it. The same goes for
Jim Corbett, too, but, honestly, don't
think Corbett has the slightest inten-

than to fight him, but l am positive
he doesn't mean business.
IT had a talk with Mr.. Mcintosh to-

Jeffries would fight. Jeffries did not
tell him so, but Mcintosh is making a
shrewd guess from Jim's actions and
evasive answers of pointed questions.

Jim Jeffries is still reticent on the
subject of mis- prize ring intentions.
But just as straws show which way
the wind blows, so Jeffries' daily acts
give an inkling of what is passing in his
mind. The pages of the New York
sporting papers depict jeff doing road

real truth about Jeff is, he is a mulish
fellow and cannot be forced into any
position until he is good and ready.
They are saying down in Los Angeles
that he has no notion of fighting, but
the most recent information from New
York is to the effect that he will declare
himself before many weeks go by.

NORTH FORK GOLD 8 COPPER

A large amount of St. Regis and
Revette quartzite is now beginning to
show In the face of the tunnel on
the property of the North Fork Gold
& Copper Mining company while
some lead is also being encouptered
with the copper. The drift is now
some distance from the hanging wall
but the general characteristics of the
development are said to be identical
with those of the great Bunker Hill
& Sullivan mine. A big strike of ore
is expected at any time.
A proposal has been made to the
company by Gilbert Lightfoot and
Douglas Miller, who hold the con-
tract on the property, by which they
are to receive treasury stock instead
of cash. 1t is believed that this
proposition will be accepted. The
drift has now been run over 100 feet.
The property is located about IA
miles up the river from Enaville,
and is being developed under the
management of Curtis Lightner.

NORTHERN LIGHT TO START UP

Arrangements are being made for
the resumption of development on q
large scale on the property of the
Northern Light Mining company on
Pine creek. The surface showing Is
being thoroughly prospected after
which a tunnel will be started. The
property is traversed by three lodges,
two of which have a northeasterly
and southwesterly direction, while
the third has a northwest and south
easterly course.
At the point where the last men,
toned vein crosses the north ledge
a shaft was sunk to the depth of 20
feet exposing "a inches of solid ga
lena, carrying as high as so per cent
lead and over 20 ounces in silver
to the ton. In addition to this the
ledge has been opened by large
number of shallow tunnels and open
cuts, tracing it for a distance of over
200 feet. More or less galena was
exposed in all this work.
Four men are engaged at present
but it is the intention to increase
this force In the near future. The
property adjoins the Bobby Anderson
group and the principal owners are
r. Fl. Pascoe, John P. Gray, J. Rush
White, G. s. Olson, VIM. J. Hall,
John Nordquist and Alex Mcleod.

REINDEER VERY NEAR LEDGE.
Only about 80 feet now remains to
be done before the long tunnel on the
Reindeer Copper & Gold Mining COM
pany reaches point underneath the
showing of copper ore made in the
upper workings. The indications for
a big strike of ore are excellent.
The heavy flow of water and the
mineralized matter still continue and
the formation is identical with the
formation at the time the ore was
discovered in the upper workings.
AS the big bore draws nearer COM
pletion considerable amount of
activity has characterized the stock
of the company and during the past
few days substantial raise has
been recorded.

SHELTER FOR RHODE ISLAND.

Arrangements are being made by
the management of the Rhode Island
Mining company for the installation
of a small smelter. For some time
past negotiations have been conduct
ed with Portland firm and If satis-
factory terms can be arranged the
deal will go through. A large amount
of copper ore has been blocked out
while many tons have been. exposed
in the course Of development work.
1t is believed that this ore can be
treated so as to return good profit.
The winze Is now down about SO
feet and good progress is being
made. A break in the vein has been
encountered with the result that
there is no ore in sight at this point
at present. 1t is expected, however,
that only few feet of drifting will
be necessary to again encounter the
ledge. The property is located be-
tween Wallace and Osborne and Is
being developed under the manage
ment of f. j. Martin Of this city.

HANDsP|KE TO HAVE SHELTER

A report is in circulation to the
effect that a small smelter is to be
installed at the property of the
Handspike Mining company on the
Little North Fork of the Occur d.
Alene river. 1t is said that nego-
tiations have been under way for
some time past with Portland firm
and that the matter will be decided
in the course of the next 80 days.
A large amount of development
work has been done and splendid
showing of ore made. Shipments
have been made practically impossi-
BILE, however, owing to the lack OF
transportation. 1t is believed that
the installation of small smelter
together with the advent of the Idaho
Northern will practically place the
mine on dividend basis.

CoLusA REPORTS GOOD STRIKE

A good strike of ore has been made
in the crosscut tunnel being driven
on the property Of the Colusa Min
ing company on Pine creek. The
entire face of the tunnel is in good
ore but the full extent of the strike
has not yet been ascertained. 1t is
the intention to push development
and great depth can be obtained by
mel. A large amount OF development
the continuation of the present tun-
has been done. During the week the
mine was inspected by C. M. Her.

HYPoTHEEK IS NEARING VEIN

A crosscut has been started from

mine at Kingston and 1t is believed
the ledge will be encountered in
about 200 feet. A little galena has
already been exposed and the indi-
cations are said to be excellent. A
large force of men is employed and
the work will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible. Last week a
number of stockholders from Canada
paid a visit to the mine and appeared
to be thoroughly satisfied with the
showing made.
