W. G. Marshall, superintendent Of
the American exploration and min
ing company of Steeplerock, came
down Wednesday to meet his wife,
who Joins him at the camp. Mr..
Marshall, who is working the Bank
group has IS men at work. He is
drifting on the Bank, and running
two crosscuts, and all his workings
are In ore. One crosscut has been
run for twenty-six feet, and still he
has not found the wall. Just before
he left the workmen encountered a
body of bright yellow ore, which looks
like carneltite, which is uranium ore,
and from which radium is extracted.
He has sent some Of it to Colorado for
inspection. He has just ordered an
assay outfit, and when it arrives he
be able to tell what he has. In the
tunnel, 232 feet from the opening he
has a cross cut which has shown a
large tale body which isdifferent from
any tale he.ever saw. There is some
seven feet of it, and it is Of a waxy
nature, and can be moulded in the
hands He hedted and then PANIED
some, and got color of gold. AS the
gold is generally pretty well distrlb-
uted and disguised in tale it may be
that this will run very high. Mr..
Marshall reports that the Twin Peaks
company, which is about three miles
from him, but working on the same
ledge, has discovered platinum in its
ore. The ore looked like a platinum
ore, and samples we're sent to assay
ers in Ell Paso, Los Angeles and Den
yer, and all gave platinum returns.
1t is not known how much of this ore
there is, but 1t does not take very
much to make big platinum returns.

Wednesday afternoon Ticket Agent
Michelmore heard a little noise above
his head in the Southern Pacific sta
ton and looked up just in time to see
tile point Of a bit come through the
ceiling. He asked Agent Mcclure If
the telegraph wire men were working
I'm the attic. Mr.. Mcclure did not
know, and sent Fred Agee to find out.
In the building the freight room is
open to the roof, and all the rest Of
the building has a ceiling. A person
can climb into the attic from the
freight room. When Agee got there
he found a man who was a stranger,
and with Rufus Smyth, captured him.
He evidently had been there a day or
so. He had a bed, provisions, a lot Of
tools, a knotted rope and a sawed off
sixshooter. He had evidently planned
to get into the safe. He had bored
several holes In the ceiling, and the
last n was Just over the safe. He
was brought before Judge McGrath,
where he gave his name IS j. Carter,
admitted entering the depot with
burglar tools. and the intent to rob
the safe. The judge held him TO the
grand jury. The judge was better
than the local Jail, for that only held
him till about eight o'clock that night,
when, probably with help, he removed
the bars from the ceiling ventilator,
ana crawled out. Since when he has
not been seen. If he had got to the
safe he would have got little money
only some small change, for every af-
ternoon all the company's money for
freight and tickets is remitted to San
Francisco.

A. B. Crawford, a ~postofice in
spector was in the city this week,
looking after the sender of an obscene
letter. He rounded up the person
whose name was signed to it, and who
was thought to be the guilty person,
but he swore he could not write, and
brought in friends who swore to the
same thing. This was what is some
times called a dutch allbi, and as the
inspector could not prove that he
could write he could make no ar
rest. The writing occurred about the
same time there was similar trouble
in the public school, in which case
Superintendent Copeland located and
punished the guilty party.

This is repeated indefinitely, as long as
the machine is required to work. In

AGAINST PMcH-HITTER RULE.
Pitchers Would Be Opposed TO It.
TwirIers Like Chance to Lam the
Ball.

eff the rule makers ever put through
a rule to substitute pinch hitter for
the pitcher when it is the twirler's
tir e to bat" says Addie Joss. who
pitches for tie Cleveland Maps in sum-
mer and IS i sporting editor IL vim
ter, "there is going to be il mighty
howl of objection raised by the slabs
men. If there is one thing that a
pitcher would rather do than make the
opposing batsmen look foolish it is to
step up to the plate. especially in a
pinch, and deliver the much needed
substitution of a good hitter in the
pitchers place would strengthen the
offensive play of a club, but at the
same time such a rule would mean
that the twirler be considered abso-
lutely nothing but a pitching machine.
Some of the greatest stars the game
has ever produced had their beginning
as pitchers OF the players of the
present day take, for instance, Bobby
Wallace. Jesse Burkett, Mike Donlin
and many others of like calibre. What
chance do you suppose they would
have ever had to show their real worth
had they been forced to sit on the
bench and see other men hit for them
There is hardly anything the fans
would rather see than a pitcher win
ming his own game with a safe drive.

BILLY ALLEN HAS 1T
ON BUCK FALVEY.
Stanton Trains With Both-Says Nor
witch Boxer is the CIeverer.

If George Ernie Stanton one of the
Stantons who appeared here the first
half of the past week at the Auditori-
UNI theater is any judge of fighters,
and he ought to be, Buck F'aIvey of
New London has his work cut out for
him when he meets Billy Allen, the To-
cal boy, at WesterlyS next Friday, says
the New London Day.
Stanton is one of the c1everest light
weight amateur ScrapperS who ever
donned the mitts in the West Side A.
c. of New York city. In fact, he is so
good that Professor Murray, who in
structs the members of that club in
the art of battering an opponents face
and getting away with it, proposes to
send him to Boston this summer to de-
fend the honor of the West Side A. c.
against all Corners.
But, to get back to Buck and his
chancts. Stanton. who keeps in train
ing at all items, last week donned the
gloves with the aforesaid Billy Allen
in Norwich and shovel him a few
points. Then he came to New London
and, naturally enough, fell in with
Buck, with whom he went several three
round bouts in the Cannonball A. c.
hall. According to the statements he
made on Saturday, Allen has several
shades on the. New London boy. and in
his opinion will at least outpoint him
in westerly.
To be fair with Buck, it must be ad-
mitted that he has a punch, and If he
manages to put one over on Allen in
the proper place the latter will take

STAR PITCHERS ARE
COMING, ALONG FAST.
Batters Are Not-Keeping Pace-Bie
Strikeout Records Are Growing.

The development of star pitchers is
proceeding at a fearful pace. but the
development of star batsmen seems to
be utterly at a standstiH. At the way
things are going there will be regi-
mentS of classy pitchers in a. few more
years, while the art of batting will die
out as soon as the present crop of
sturdy old mtterS is extinct. On eV
cry vacant lot in summer you can see
ambitious young pitchers at work
fiinging, cuTving, learning the tricks of
the pitching trade, and so completely
overSha downing the young 'batsmen that
big strikeout records have become the
rule, not the exception, at school and
college.
1t was Jim Hart. a few Years ago,
who told an ambitious youngSter to
train himself for. third baseman. not
a pitcher. because pitchers did not last,
whereas inueIders could play the game
for years and would always be in de-
uand. Still the modern pitcher with
any sort Of good behaviour. outlasts the
modern infieldeT. Yes, he actually
does Despite the wear and tear upon
his arm, the modern pitcher is good for
a longer diamond life than most of his
teammates, and the records sl1owsit,
too.
How many men are now on the
Giants who were there when Mathew
son began? Big Six has seen a lot of
them come and go. and is still good
for many years. Wiltse, a 1efthander,
has been pitching q long. long time,
ana IS sun capable, though the O4d idea
was that a iefthanded pitcher soon
broke down.
Among the Highlanders Jack Chesbro
only failed last summer after a career
that outwore most of the men with
whom he started playing ball. Look
through the other league teams and
see how the pitchers have .outlfved The
f1eldef-s. Wilhelm of Brooklyn was

the Dodger team. save Bill Dah1en, the

the modern batsnen in most cases do
not try to get the pitchers goat the
way the veterans did. The vets were
more terrible by far when it came to
facing hurler. Today there are a few
goat getters, but not many. The grim
and massive front put on by Wagner,
Crawford and IAjoie scares many a
pitcher, while the confidence and mock
ing eagerness of Cobb also frightens
them. These fellows act as the old
timers did but most of the modern
batsmen simply stand at the plate in a
half apologize way, hoping against
hope that thy may scratch out a SIN
gle or draw base on balls
Tweny years ago 1T was an impress

Pete Browning came to bat with bases

huge bats, of bulk and denied fiber

mighty drives. They gaZed upon the
pitchers with a grim smile. look of
total confidence, with absolute belief
in their own superiority. and the pitch

men do today in front of Brown. SUCH
a difference, gentle boys!
There will never be any rafting slug
