LIGHTS ARE OUT TOO
SOON, SAY RIVERME EN-
Order for Darkness Nov. 10 Causes
Surprise Among Steamboat
Owners.

Rivermen are surprised at the an,
nouncenent of Commander Miller IF
the U. S. Lily that the channel lights
on the upper river will be extinguished
Nov. 10. This is an earlier date than
has been the case in past years The
packets usually continue in operation
until about Nov. %, and the pilots de-
pend on the shore beacons to mark
the channel when running at night.
Pilot Hugh Mckenzie of the steamer
KeOkuk, which is now making trips
to Burlington and whose schedule will
be maintained some time after the
lights have been extinguished, said:
ON account of the present arrange
ment of the steamers on the upper
river. which includes the Keokuk and
Dubuque I am certainly of the opinion
that the lights should be kept burning
until these steamers cease navigat-
ing the stream. The alter in that sec
ton Of the river to be effected by the
'snuffing' out of the lights is low and
the steamers should be afforded every
advantage of making their trips in
safety, instead of such facilities being
dispensed with
THE trips of the Keokuk will not
be discontinued until several DAYS
after the lights have been put out,
and, of course. this steamer will feel
the results. In my opinion the lights
should not be discontinued under any
circumstances until the close of the
Keokuk CANAL

SALzMhNN WILL
Be IN The GAME
Star Man of High School Foot
ball Team Returns to Old
Condition.
PLA AGAINST PRINCETON
Captain Lift Also VIII Probably Be
Able TO Participate-Gives
Confidence to Boys.

High school students hailed with
delight today the announcement that
Roy Salzmann will be permitted to
return to the football squad at once
and will probably be in the game
next Saturday. Salzmann was con-
sidered q great possibility at the
opening CT the season and he was ex-
pected to be the strong man of the
line, but he failed to pass a physical
examination and accordingly he was
net allowed to play. Since then,
however, he has so improved phys
ically that when he submitted to an
other test yesterday he passed it cas-
lily ana he was out to practice again
last evening.
Team Nccda Him.
Salzmann's 1875 pounds of avoirdu-
pois and his speed will make him a
powerful man TO work as a tackle
or a guard, and he can be used to
great advantage just at present when
the team is in a crippled condition
and hard game ahead. Just where
he will be placed has not yet been
settled by Coach Gray. but it is very
likely that he will be sent in at left
tackle, which will cause Drips to be
moved to guard.
JOY In the Camp.
With the line bolstered up and
the announcement that Captain Lift
will probably be able to play, hope of
defeating Princeton has kindled in
the hearts of the rooters and there
is joy in the camp of the crimson
and gold once more. Princeton comes
with a team which is touted to be
among the best in the state. Last
Saturday it defeated Kewanee by a
rather one-sided score and it expect
ed to do the same thing to the local
boys, as they squeezed out victory
over Kewanee by a narrow margin.

BUT SUSPECTS THREE-EYE

Galesburg, ILL.,, Nov. AT the meet
ing of the Central Baseball association
mere yesterday delegates from all the
cities were present save Burlington,
ana both Jacksonville and Waterloo,
tne cities released from the associa-
tlon, were represented, the former by
an attorney. Jacksonville desired re-
lhstatement and was given an oppor-
unity to present it's case.
The meeting had four applications
ior the vacancy before it-Monmou.h,
Jacksonville, Moberly, Mo. and Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. The application from
Cedar Rapids was telegraphed by Bel
den Hill, and asked for time in which
TO make q presentation OF the advan-
tages of Cedar Rapids. This Cedar
Rapids application produced a good
impression. and the feeling is that the
Iowa city will ultimately be selected.
The matter went over until Nov %,
when mail vote will be taken and
when the Waterloo matter will also be
settled.
Committee is Named.
James T Hayes of Davenport pre-
scented the Plan of redistTicting the
Central and the Three-Eye territories,
but this was not looked on favorably,
the Central delegates fearing that the
Threa-Eye would pick the best cities.
a committee consisting of Senator Nc
ManUs of Keokuk, Hugh Hill of ke-
wanee and Harry Hofer was appointed
to attend the meeting of the National
association at Memphis when the re-
districting matter will likely be con-
sidercd, as viii also the petition for a
higher classification for the Central.
Quipcy's application for release was
turned down.

DECATUR SUIT
SATISFIED HERE

ant in Action Against Base
ball Association.
BILL FOR TEAM UNIFORMS
A. q. Spalding q Co. Paid Out Of
Holiday Receipts in League
Treasury.

An echo of the financial struggles Of
the Decatur Baseball association ex-
perienced during the past season, and
which resulted in the surrender of the
franchise there to the city of Dan
vile, was heard in Rock Island this
week, when a suit for the recovery of
$3.50 was started in the court of JUS
tice j. H. Cleland by A. G. Spalding
& Co, Chicago, through the local legal
firm of Murphy & Larson. The Deca-
tur Baseball association and NJ. II.
Sexton, president and treasurer OF the
Three-Eye league, we're made defend
ants.
The bill represents the price of a set
of uniforms furnished the Decatur as
sociatiCn by Spalding & Co. during the
1909 Geason. The claim was first filed
at Decatur. The officers of the asso-
citation pleaded that there were no
monies in the local treasury, but stated
that the association still had due il
from the league treasury its portion
of the holiday receipts for the past
season.
Sexton Puts Up Dough.
1t was suggested that Spalding e
Co. transfer it's action to Rock Island,
and include the league head as a party
to the action. This was done, and the
Decatur association requested that Mr.
Sexton satisfy the claim, if he still
carried a sufficient amount in the
league treasury belonging to the De
catur association to meet the demand.
1t vas stated today that the judg-
ment i'll Justice Cleland's court would
be satisfied by President Sexton.

WILL PAY FOR BIG MINE
FROM SHIPMENTS OF ORE

The Garner syndicate is hauling
large quantities of ore from the Gold
Pen and Lucky Strike claims at Bo-
ward to the Weiss mill in this city.
This property is under bond to the syn
dictate for 500, 900 and the management
state that they expect to pay this entire
sum within 80 days, the period of the
bond, from ore taken out of the mine.
They say they have a body six or seven
feet wide from which sample assays
were taken, giving values of between
$s5 and 800 a ton. Should they be
able to make this big payment within
the time limit of the bond, it would
be something phenomenal. Rawhide

RAWHIDE LEASERS MAKING
SOME SPLENDID SHIPMENTS

The record of a weeks work on the
Grutt Balloon Hill lease is indeed a re-
markable one for even Nevada. Eight
days ago. one miner working alone with
a single jack in a barren crosseut; to-
day, four miners drilling double HANDED
in the same erosscut, breaking down n
seven-foot breast of high grade ore from
which have been sacked and shipped
over 10 tons sampling $1,000 a ton and
having a total value of $4,000. Such
is the record of the Grutt Balloon Hill
lease on the Balloon claim of the Raw
hide Queen Mines company-a record
that has been seldom surpassed.
This great strike was made in the
west crosseut on the 120-foot level, at
a point about IS feet from the shaft.
The first shot that broke into the vein,
exposed Is inches of ore hat assayed
s756.s0 in gold and $11Os.5O in silver.
During the week the crosscut has been
advanced seven feet and is still in ore
of good grade, the hanging wall not yet
being in sight. A careful sampling by
the official assayer of the Queen Mines
company indicates that the first two
feet on the foot wall average close to
$1,000 "a ton, while the next five feet
assay from $40 to $40 a ton. The ore
from the high grade streak has been
sacked with very little sorting, and
eight tons of this product were shipped
to the Hazen sampler yesterday, while
two tons more were sacked today. This
entire tonnage sampled $1,000 a ton,
and there is as much more ore of the
same grade exposed in the workings.
Ships High Grade.
The Dromiac Mining company, oper-
ating the old Bradshaw block, situated
on the southeastern end of the Balloon
claim of the Queen Mines company, has
it's shaft down within a few feet of the
100-foot point, where a crosscut will be
sent out to the north to catch the rich
ore shoot that left the shaft at the
70-foot point. The shaft continues in
ore of good grade which is producing
screenings sampling 1920 a ton. Ten
tons were shipped to the Hazen sam
pier yesterday and the shipping dump
contains 20 ton of high grade ore that
will be sent out as rapidly as teams can
be secured. Sack sampling indicates
that yesterdays consignment will aver
close to $4,000 a ton.
The Victor lease in the northeastern
section of the Coalition estate, came
in for it's share of attention with a
improvement in ore showings
this week. The west drift on the 200
foot level at a point 100 feet from the
shaft, yesterday showed a five-foot vein
of ore sampling close to $50 per ton,
increase of fully $40 over last week.

TEACHING PLANT TO TREAT
COPPER ORE AT $1.38 A TON

The Needles Eye reports that the
California Gold & Copper company will
install an electric teaching plant on its
property at Vontrigger. This plant is
designed to extract copper from ore
without the use of heat. The process
employed was invented by A. ii.
Cram, president of the company, and
demonstrations of it in Riverside,
where the office of the company is To-
Gated, and in Los Angeles, were de
clared by experts to show it to be a
success. 1t is asserted that by this
process copper can be extracted at a
cost of $1.3S.
The company's property consists of
nine claims, all patented, with three
shafts down 200, $50 and 81 feet, re-
spectively. About 5000 tons of ore
are on the dump, ready for the mill.

The revio Ruling

In the decision of the commissioner
of the general iand office, which was
given October "a, 1907, the preliminary
facts of the case are reeited, as is also
the decision of the register and re-
ceiver. After a discussion of the testi-
money in the ease, the decision of the
commissioner says:
s.Here. however, the company has
passed the stage of possessory right
under the location and is asking for a
natent for land said to be valuable for
mineral, and the case is governed by
the rule in Brophy VS.. Hare "a l.. d.,
596), wherein it is held:
ssTo sustain the application for
mineral patent as against persons al
leging the land to be non.mineral, 1t
must appear that mineral exists IN the
land in quantity and value sufheient 10
subject it to disposal under the mining
laws. In other words the land applied
for must be shown to contain valuable
.sposits of mineral, which means more
than a mere discovery that might be
sufficient to support a location In the
first instance.
s.The evidence submitted by the min
eral claimant, aside from the other evil
dence submitted, fails to show that the
land shows mineral in such quantity
and of such value as to subject the land
TO disposition under the mineral laws.
II is not shown hat there are any MIN
ING claims in the immediate vicinity OF
the Vera from which any commercial
ores have been tatken.
