MAPS RES0LvE"
To WIN THE
REMNANT
MEMBERS OF CLEVELAND CLUB
ATTACH SIGNATURES TO
WEieHTY DOCUMENT OF VERY
SEASoNABlE VARIETY.

Winning "A baseball pennant by
means of winter resolutions may moi
appeal TO the average sportsman as
the method likely 10 prevail when the
time comes round next October for the
final totalling up of accounts, yet
Clevelanders opine that resolutions
may help and point with pride to the
set adopted by the Napoleons for 1909.
The resolutions. IL is understood,
were drawn up by Ed Bang. Nap
land newspaper man, and the original
set travelled all over the country, &C.
quiring signatures, copies OF which in
facsimile were attached and are now
displayed for the edifiCatlon of the
Cleveland bugs
The resolutions are rs follows:
We, the Cleveland Napoleons,
realizing the value OF "A fighting
spirit. such as had its birth In our
camp on Labor day, 1908. have
made the following resolution for
1909:
Resolved. That the Maps OF
1909. from the start OF the season.
April IA, until the last game is
played in the early part OF Octo-
Der, will display the same fight
ing and do-or-die spirit that made
itself manifest in the closing
weeks of the campaign Vf 1908.
That we will contest for every
inch of ground in the April games
as we'll as those in midseason and
near the flag end of the campaign.
for we learned our lesson the past
season in that just one OF the
games we lost in the first half of
the season because of a lack of
fighting spirit would have won us
the pennant.
That 1t will be our aim and am
bition at all times and that we will
put forth every effort within our
power TO reward the deserving
Cleveland fans with that which
they have craved and longed for
these many years--a major league
pennant"
The resolutions contain no refer
ence To chair-throwing, aside from i'm
plication.
The list OF signatures starts with
the John Hancock of Napoleon Lajoie,

CROWDS HEAR BOYS
BAND AT NEW CHUTES
Many Other Entertaining Fea-
lures on Excellent Bill

The Hungarian boys band entered
upon the last week of its engagement
at the New Chutes yesterday before
audiences which. by their size and en-
thusiasm, evinced the popularity
which this excellent organization has
won for itself. While the band and
the representations of its clever con-
ductor, Niklas Schilzonyi, still claim
nrst place on the bill, a number of
acrobatic and comedy acts are no
small part of the entertainment. These
have been so arranged that the audi
tor is treated to a performance every
10 minutes
and Ernest in their log rolling oddity.
They select the lake as the site of
their operations and, mounted upon
logs, perform feats of daring and
highly amusing comedy acts Berry
and Nelson are acrobatS of unusual
ability. Nelson is member of the
famous Nelson family of circus per-
formers who visited San Francisco
two years ago with the Barnum shows
and proves to be a worthy representa-
tive of the troupe. The Havana fam
lily of Japanese jugglers and foot bal
ancers form a pleasing diversion and
give 20 minutes of excellent entertain
ment. The Orlandos present aero
batic feats and are followed on the
bill by the Marshall trio. The major
portion of the comedy is furnished by
"Sliyers" Oakes and his troupe of
clowns. "Bill" Tafe and Fat Law
son. two clowns we'll known in the
world OF the white tops" have been
added to the list of fun makers and
prove a JOY to the children.
The feature of yesterdays concerts
was the potpourri descriptive number
of the Spanish-American war, and
this will be given every evening this
week. 1t is in "a movements and de-
scribes in melody the various dra-
matte scenes and incidents OF the con-
fiict. Real musketry and connon-
aiding are INTRODUCED with startling ef-
feet.

REPORTS RICH GOLD
PRODUCTION IN NEVADA
Mining Man Tells of the Reese
River DEVELOPMENTS

Henry Duncker, prominent mining
man of Nevada. is visiting in San Fran
cisco. Duncker comes directly from
the Clear Creek district. at the head of
Reese river. about 70 miles north of
Tonopah It is the district, according
to Duncker. Of best promise in Nevada,
although IL is little known. Recently a
ledge has been developed on property
sold TO wealthy eastern men that goes
from $40 to $50 a ton in free milling
gold.
On the Snow King group, adjoining
Duncker. ore was taken out for the
mining congress Of Goldfeld that as
sayed $500 gold and 10 ounces silver.
Adjoining this property is the Ready
Money group, just purchased by w. H.
Metson and others of this city. ore
from which assayed into the thousands
Of dollars, some being veritable jewelry
ore. Among other local men interested
there are II. c. Biggs, F. B. MuIgrew,
Fred Smith. Charles Fuetsch and
Walter Birch.
Duncker says there is an abundance
of timber and no less than eight trib-
utaries of Reese river flow through the
district, which is reached by rail and
stage by way of Austin According to
Duncker mining in Nevada is rapidly
getting on a better basis. The wedding
out of wildcats and the settlement of
labor differences have restored conf
dence. Nevada's gold production prom
ises soon to put her in the lead of all
states, while large amounts of copper
are being produced at Ely, Yerington
and other places.

SWEET VOICE
CHARMS BIG AUDIENCE
Noted Prima Donna Delights
Music Lovers

A somewhat larger audience than
that which greeted Nine. Jeanne Jo-
melli at her opening recital last Thurs
day night was on hand yesterday aft
ernoon, attracted to the Novelty thea
ter by the praises which have been
sung by those who heard the noted
prima donna from Hammerstefn's first,
and there was no disappointment.
There was much enthusiasm mani
tested and many encores demanded. TO
which the singer graciously responded,
her throat seemingly becoming more
relaxed and her voice finer and clearer
with every additional number. Her art
is equal to any exactiOn she chooses to
impose on ii, though, as on Thursday
night, her best numbers were her oper-
attic compositions, requiring a distinc-
tion of style, a delicate comprehension
of subtle phrasing and an exquisite
cleanness of Interpretation.
The LerouX number, THE Nile"
which closed the program, held the
audience in the room. They wouldn't
go, so the singer sang the Bach
Gounod Ave Maria" with violin obli
cato.
Miss Nichols violin playing was ap-
plauded and her obligato to the vocal
number was excellently played.
BY next Tuesday night, when she
sings her last recital here. Nine. Jo-
melli may become well enough known
10 skeptical concert goers to receive
something like a proper hearing.
