 day and time Is judged by his ability to hit the ball and to make runs.

 any other man of the league, and made more hits. They have all legged that Henline cannot think
 as quickly as some others. They might also state that no other in this league can cross the plate in a season as often as he. Give

 To star in the first division this year the locals must make hay at the present time. The club has the support of the entire city. There's not any knocking. No fan has complained of the team as whole, nor of the management, nor of the individual player.

SUPERIOR B BOSTON STRIKES CALCITE
 IN CROSSCUT
Heavy Flow of Water on the Sixth Level Now Being
 Easily Handled

In the workings leading from the Gardner shaft of the Superior X Bos- ton Copper eompany's property in the Copper Hill district, some encouraging results in development are being at tained. A cross cut being driven north west from the long drift running west from that section of the mine is now about forty feet long and has eneoun- tered ground carrying considerable man ganese of iron and calcite. The pre- valence of the manganese in such large quantities is considered a most encour- aging feature of the development work, as it is by no means unlikely that it indicates the presence of a copper ore body nearby.
 On the sixth level of the McGaw shaft, which will eventually be the main working shaft of the Superior & Boston mine, the flow of water which interferede considerably with the work there about three weeks ago is now be- ing handled easily and is steadily di- minishing in volume Soon after this flow of water was struck, it was found necessary to put three "sinkers in commission, but it has turned out that what seemed at first to be formidable obstacle in the working of the mine was due merely to body of water formed by seepage and enclosed in the limestone. This basin has now been practically drained, consequently the water is not sufficient in amount to in trfere seriously with operations.
 The station on the sixth level of the MeGaw shaft was completed some time ago and cross-cutting is now under way toward the Great Eastern shaft of the Superior X Boston property This cross cut will ,when finished connect the workings of the McGaw and Great Eastern shafts and afford much better ventilation than has been available in the past. This eross-cut which is be- ing driven through the Great Eastern shaft will also intersect drift which connects the workings of the Superior < Boston mine with those of the Ari- zOna Commercial. By this arrangement still better ventilation will be secured for both mines. A second station is being cut north of the McGaw shaft on the sixth level and pumps will be installed there. An addition to be made to the plant at the MeGaw shaft in the near future will be two boilers of 250 horse power each These boilers, which will simply form an enlargement of the present boiler plant, have already been ordered and will be installed as soon as they arrive at the mine.
 Consulting engineer Frank H. Pro bert, of the consulting firm of Weed & Probert of Los Angeles and New York has been in Globe for several days and has spent much of his time at the Superior & Boston mine, for which he is consulting engineer It is expected that Dr. Weed will arrive in Globe in a few days and will spend short time here, looking over the district. President Wm. G. Rice of the Superior & Boston Copper company, left for his home in Houghton, Michi- gan, Wednesday morning, after having spent several weeks in Globe.

F FFTY TONS l DAILY FROM ARIZONA
 COMMERCIAL

With a force of about three hundred and fifty men, most of whom are em- ployed underground, the. Arizona Com mercial mine continues to produce be- tween two hundred and two hundred and fifty tons of smelting ore daily. The greater part of this ore is mined from the six hundred foot level aid hoisted through the Eureka shaft. No work is being done in the Black Hawk shaft since the Eureka was made the main working channel of the mine. At the seven hundred foot level of the Eureka shaft, where the new station has just been completed, new pumps with 1000 gallon capacity will be installed as soon as the foundations for them have been finished. As soon as these pumps are working satisfactorily, the work of erosscutting will be carried on, with a full force, to intercept the vein at this level.
 The shelter continues to reduce the ore from the Copper Hill property, to 50 per cent matte, which is shipped to the Old Dominion converters for further treatment. Shelter Superintendent E. G. Williams now has the new sampling works at the shelter grinding all sam pies. This machinery works smoothly and has given no trouble.
