mand of Right to Draft Territory
10 Resisted.

Cincinnati, Otto, Jan. G.-The Amer
lean association and the Eastern
league yesterday were given special
classification by consent of the ma
tional commission and national asso-
citation and henceforth will oe known
as Glass AA leagues Or minor majors.
This victory for the rebel organiza-
tions came after the hardest kind of a
fight. The Microbes were willing to
grant the two bodies most of the con-
.eessions they asked, but they fought
for a long time to make the woult-be
boilers stay in the minor body.
Attorney Killilea, representing the
two Glass A leagues, finally agreed
that they would allow the national
board of the minor associations to
rass on all disputes which might arise
between the new class and the other
minors, with the privilege of calling
on the national commission for a rul-
ing in case the national boards decis-
ion did not meet with their approval.
One Point Unsettled.
There remained but one point to be
decided The two minor majors. after
securing almost every thing they asked
for, still held out for the right to draft
territory from all minor leagues. The
latter are willing that they should be
given the choice. of territory in Glass
A leagues, but are opposed to letting
them draw for additions to their cir
cult from all classes under them.
A committee composed of ]. H. Far
rell, Garry Hermann and John E
Bruce was appointed to settle this
matter. 1t is unlikely there will be an,
disagreement, and the session will
close today with every one concerned
ostensibly satisfied

Cal Ewing is president, is to be mad,

if it so desires. Undoubtedly it will
and the minor major body will b,
made up of the American association
and the Eastern and Pacific Coas
leagues. These organizations will b,
permitted to draft players from al
other minors with limit of one playe
from each Class A league, and will
lave first call on all players turned
back from the majors to the minors
being permitted to say whether or no
lthey want such players before othe

They will also be given the right t.

with their former colleagues when
I dispute arises which concerns both.

OF MONO
COUNTY
NICHTSHIRTED

Last week the Times copied an article
appearing in the Carson News, severely
critizizing the Yerington police.
Mr.. George l.. Ambrose, chief of po-
lice of Yerington, called at the office of
the Times and requested that we an
nounce that if any one was to blame for
the disappearance of Fitzsimmons, he
alone, in Yerington, could be censured,
and nothing would please him better
than complete investigation.
While Mr.. Ambrose has not gone into
detail concerning the matter, the Times
has reason to believe that the Mono po-
lice were negligent i'll their duty; were
late in getting here; careless III instruc-
tions, and in order to clear themselves
have taken the liberty to shoulder all
the blame because of slight misunder-
standing on the part of Mr.. Ambrose in
taking a message off of phone.
Mr.. Ambrose, heretofore, has been a
very efficient officer and bears splendid
reputation.
The Mono police have not taken into
consideration their fiimsy instructions
and are unable to come out in the day
light and make good their assertions.

will boom as they always have In the

The successful concentrating tests on
the ores of the Mason Valley mine are
being enthusiastically talked about on
every side. Those who witnessed the
tests and examined the mine have been
for the past two DAYS, almost, riotously
celebrating.
Nearly every day during the summer
mill tests have been going on. but un-
til the middle of the week it was I'M
possible to gather any definite infor-
NATION as to results. 1t has been gen
orally believed process was imperfect.
Consequently OH Thursday when an
nouncement was made it came as sur
prise, and so much does it mean for the
future of Yerngton that the miners
found it difficult to soberly carry off the
load of good news. The advices from
New York neglect to mention construct
ion of concentrating plant, but the Ma
son Valley manae ement maintains that
the announcement of smelter means
complete plant.
The mine never before showed the
possibilities it does today. The cross
cut on the S00-foot level is still i'll ore,
twothirds of which will average ) per
Dent and the balance better than pei

foot depth is coming into same grade Of
ore and shows stronger signs of con-
tinuity and permanency than on any Of
the other levels.
Messrs. Gum and Thompson wheIs
own control of the Mason Valley mine
planned to build smeiter six months
ago, but after gsving the matter careful
consideration, decided to wait until aIf
doubt as to permanency of mine was
removed. The announcement there's
fore, in New York on Thursday by these
these gentlemen that immediately smelt-
er would be constructed, is practacaI as-
surance that Yerington is proven dis
trict. Two-thirds OF the ore of the Ma
son Valley is concentrating propo-
sition and concentrating plant is as
essential for the proper treatment of the
ore as a snelter. The present superin-
tendent OF the mine bclscves that ton
mage within the past forty days has been
doubled.
For the past month the superintend-
ents of the foremost mines in camp have
been attending the test runs of ore.
The experiments have proven so success
full and the process so economical that
they are unanimous in the belief that at
least the Mason Valley company will be
able to treat it's product at a less figure
than nearly any other known mine.
The fact that the Yerington ores are SO
high grade and can be concentrated vir-
tually guarantees an extremely low cost
