Newspaper Relic of Civil War


One of the interesting relics of civil
war days that was exhibited in Mobile
during the recent reunion by a veteran
visitor was a copy of newspaper is
sued in Confederate army camp in 1868.
The paper was the property of w. 8.
Tucker Of Hestle, Wilcox county, who
secured it right off the press when he
was a soldier in the camp in which it
was printed.
The paper, a two-column, four-page af-
fair, was called the Camp Beulah Mule"
1t was dated Camp Beulah, February
81, 1863, volume No. l." The publisher,
J. P. Seabrook, a member of company I,
Thirty-eighth Alabama, in his introduce
ton to his readers in what he called
MY salutatory, and perhaps my valedic-
tory" told the purposes of his publica-
ton, to stir up amusement in camp life.
One of the columns was devoted to news
from the front" The dispatches were of
the widest imagination and it was an
nounced that they came by clothes

Game Postponed

The game of baseball which was sched-
ued for this afternoon between Bessemer
and the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company was postponed on account
of the wet grounds. A heavy rainfall in
Bessemer this morning made the newly
rolled ground so muddy that it was unfit
for use. Keen disappointment was felt
in Bessemer as the local fans had hoped
to see the team win victory this after
noon.
Manager Bumgardner is making eff
fort to secure games with fast amateur
teams of the state. He is open to any
challenge. He desires to have about three
games a week In order to keep his play
ers in condition 1t Is very probable that
he will succeed in arranging number of
games with the classy teams of the state.

over Million In A Single Month.

If anyone thinks that Goldfield is
not doing anything they must halt at
these figures. More than a million
dollars was taken out of the ground by
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines Com
pany during the last mo6th, and a net
profit of 730,OOOS was secured upon
which dividends will be paid to stock
holders. j. R. Finlay, general manag-
er, in his preliminary report for the
month of March, estimates the pro-
duction of the Consolidated mines at
26,6l7 tons, with gross value of l.
0l5,000S. The gold recovered was ap-
proximately 95O,OOOs with expenses of
220,O0OS and net profit of 75O,OOOS.
Production of million dollars per
month from the Consolidated is con-
trolled only by the capacity of the big
mill to assimilate the gold that could
be poured into its troughs, and it is
probable that each succeeding month
will witness a general average of ap-
proximately the record for March.
If it does not, it will be because gold
is a glut on the market.
From grass-roots to the 1OOO-foot
level the Consolidated never in the
past looked as well as it does TODAY,
and the record of March may be taken
as an indication of what the mine will

Pots of pure gold dust, solid gold
chains, the golden diadems of the
MOctezuma and fabulously rich gold
necklaces set with the precious chal-
chihuites of the Aztecs, carried out of
Mexico City during the occupation of
the Spaniards and hidden 10 caves in
the hills of Texcoco, still await some
lucky adventurer. This is the con-
viction of 7. A. Kenyon, of Mexico
City, who claims to have come into
possession of the Aztec codex relating
how the wealth came to be buried and
giving a minutely correct map show
ing how to find it. Mr.. Kenyon ap-
piled few days ago to the secretary of
public instruction for a concession to
run a tunnel into the mountain and
bring out the long buried treasure.
Lie. Sierra directed him to Ing.

ference with the latter.-Mexico

Great Riches Yet In Mazuma Hills

The Mazuma Hills mine and the
Mazuma mill are making records moi
only for themselves, but for the dis
trict. says the Seven Troughs Miner.
From less than forty tons of ore
taken from between the second and
third levels of the company workings
the mill cleaned up 3,5000S in gold
an average of zoos a ton for the ore,
leaving out of consideration the con-
centrates and the loss in the tailings.
The next run of 40 tons produced be-
tween 9,OOOS and lO,OOOs, showing the
value of the ore to be better than 7Os
off the plates. This ore came from
the third and fourth levels.
And now the Preston run, which has
not yet been finished, is going in the
neighborhood of zoos a ton. The last
ore comes from the territory lying be-
tween the lower and the upper tun-
nels.
The three clean-ups will yield more
than 20,OOOS from ore extracted since
the first of February. When it is real
lied that this amount is taken from
levels already opened up and from
which the company has already mined
more than $50, COOS worth OF ore, the
showing is remarkable.
The Mazuma Hills mine is opened to
a depth of 400 feet on the vein, max
ing the total vertical depth only about
$50 feet. But few feet west of the
vein to which the company work has
been confined lies another vein, the
showings in which on surface equal
those on the Mazuma Hills vein.
Less than 300 feet east is the Reagan
vein, probably the best known vein in
the district On that vein are the old
Reagan and Prior & Chadbourne leases
and its record is already familiar to all
those acquainted with the district
Farther west are two other known
veins which have been opened to some
extent by small lessees but not to the
point of production.
With the Mazuma Hills mine opened
at depth and with the territory ada
cent to the Mazuma Hills vein thor
oughly prospected, it should lead the
district in production.-Sal Lake

Rich Gold Strike Reported.

Duncan Macdonald, who visited the
Wood canyon portion of the district
last week, brought back news of rich
gold strike made recently on the noun
tain that is just west of the old Han
cock ranch headquarters. "Uncle
Bill" Smith, the well known and sue
cessful prospector, made the reported
strike; and he informed Macdonald
that of two samples assayed in Ell Paso,
Macdonald states, one gave returns of
3 ozs. in gold, and the other, a copper
specimen, 80 per cent copper. What
the probable qualities of these two
classes of ore are, has not been learned.
''Uncle Bill" who has the name of
being very successful as a prospector,
having located and sold the Savage,
the Willie Rose and the Rabbit groups
in this district, has been prospecting
in the Wood canyon locality, for sew
eral months, and it would surprise no
one acquainted with him and the his
tory of the ground he has been pros
pecting if he should make an important
gold discovery there.
The Record has previously told some
thing of the history of this gold belt,
of which Wood canyon is the south
eastern end and Dos Cabezas and Bowie
the northwestern end. Scarcely a
sample of Wood canyon ore has been
assayed without showing at least los
or l2S in gold, and there have been a
number of yields much higher. So far,
however, Captain Thos. Bridger, who
crushed his ore by means of a small
water propelled arrastra, has been the
only one to find ore there in CONNER
cial quantities; but when he left the
canyon his secret departed with him.
Farther north, particularly in the vi
cinity of Dos Cabezas, and to some ex-
tent in Little Immigrant and Big EN-
canyons, more or less gold ore
has, at intervals, been shipped, yet
these finds have never resulted in a /
permanent gold camp.
This belt has never been thoroughly !!
however. When it is, we
would not be surprised to see a good,
steady gold camp result, and it is as
likely to spring up in the vicinity of
Wood canyon as anywhere else in the
belt.
As for copper, 80 per cent copper ore
has previously been found not far away
rom Wood canyon,-on the Willie
Rose, and no doubt this found is the
same class of ore.-Paradise Record.

Tombstone Mine To Resume Work

The Old Guard property, which has
long been regarded as one of the prom
lnent groups of the Tombstone dis
trict, is to resume operations shortly.
Frank L. Fowler, prominenu min
ing man, who has been identified with
large mining operations in California
and the west for many years, arrived
in Tombstone today to arrange for the
re-opening of the property, and will
at once begin the preliminary work
with a view of operating the same on
a large scale.
The Old Guard company has re-
organized and the holdings of the old
company absorbed by the Royal Guard
company, which is the name of the
present organization. The Royal
Guard is financed by eastern capital,
and it is proposed to thoroughly ex-
plore and develop the mines here.
Mr.. Fowler has made several visits
to Tombstone during the past few
years and made examinations and
favorable reports upon this property.
The shaft is over 400 feet deep, and
the drifts and development show good
ore bodies. Mr.. Fowler will remain
here and personally superintend the
operations of the Royal Guard. Or
ders will be given tomorrow to over
haul the machinery and buildings and
arrange for the redemption of work.
The reopening of this property is
good news, which means another
feeder to Tombstone and will add
another producer to the list of this
famous Observation-Disclosures Prospect

RENO; NEVADA, TO
 BE SCENE OF FIGHT
Both Jeffries and Johnson Appear Anxious That Date of Battle Should Not be
 Changed

'I guess it doesn't matter much where I lick Johnson; just so I get to do it on July 4. I hate the idea of waiting any longer. I want to know just as soon as possible where we are to fight so I can get acclimated. guess it will be Reno.'
 Jeff has not for an instant let up on his training. He was convinced some way would be found to hold the fight.
 It was significant. however. that he did no boxing yesterday. Mrs. Muir head, owner of the Seal Rock House in Frisco, where Johnson is training; Tom Little. a brother of Johnson's de- posed manager. and other Johnson ad- Eerents, appeared in camp. Jeff de clared he would not box before spies so he went fishing. When Johnson's E friends had left camp Jeff put in some time in the gymnasium.
 While Jeff will not admit it, his trainers feel some trepidation over pull ing off the fight in Reno on such short notice. Jeff has trained in an altitude of 300 feet; Reno is 5000 feet above the sea-1eve1 and the rarified mountain air taxes the heart and lungs. It is ad- mitted that this will be a slight draw back to both fighters. but Jeff believes it will affect Johnson as much as him.

vited to play the Remington Type writer baseball club at Ilion, N. r., on Saturday, June 25. on the occasion of the annual Remington field day.
 This is a gala day both in the his tory of the Remington Typewriter or ganization as we'll as in the social and business life of Ilion. The Remington team is composed of some of the best talent in and round central New York, and are considered the champions of central and western New York State. It is certainly a high tribute to the Yost players that they should be se- lected from so many possible clubs to oppose the Remington nine in this, their banner game of the season. On the other hand the Yosts come in for their share of admiration from the To- cal fans, too. They play consistent ball, and while aggressive they never sidestep the breach of gentlemanly conduct while on the diamond. This has been a noticeable feature of the Yost players during their career and it has won for them both praise and a deserving popularity.
 The Yost boys will take their full team with three substitutes. in the charge of their shrewd and hustling manager, Tom Keenan. The local of ficers of the Union Typewriter Co.,, F. A. w. Armstrong, manager and A. E. Veness, superintendent, who were in strumental in arranging this treat for

 Frisco people are frantic over los ing this fight. They would give any thing in the world to have it here. but the Governor is Governor. and guess We will have to jump to Reno. Why, those Reno people are so anxious for this fight they are already clearing up the ground for the arena which they are going to build free of charge for me, and they will pay the State li- cense.
 T received every assurance in the world that I will be allowed to have the fight here and I have already spent S25, GOO in preliminary work which will be a dead loss. I can only hope we will do as well on the Reno end as we have in Frisco.

SUBURBAN NO
 LONGER BLUE
 RIBBON EVENT
Especial from United Press.) SheepShead Bay Racetrack.. June

T
 Sheepshead Bay Racetrack, June IF. Gloom overhung the Newmarket of America in large chunks today. Not since it was inaugurated has the Sub urban Handicap, the blue ribbon event of the turf world, been run under such adverse circumstances. The weather was bad and the track heavy Agents of the Society for the Proven tion of Cruelty to Animals were on hand with orders to secure if possible evidence which would be strong enough to warrant the arrest of the directors of the Coney Island Jockey Club un- der the new anti-gambling law; and horsemen generally were in mourning over the belief that today marked the last running of the stake. Just how Governor Hughes reform wave has interfered with the sport was shown by the big empty spaces in the stands and lawns which have hitherto been too small to care for the crowds.
 The race too was a disappointment in point of class. For weeks it has been looked forward to as the occa- sion when Sam Hildreth's high class EtheIbert Colt Fftz Herbert, acclaim ed as the horse of the decade, and James R. Keene's Ballot would settle their differences. But Fitz Herbert was not among the starters. He had all the worst of the weights and has been coughing for a week. Hildreth Q6CldIcQ llrdt OcSPllO IAO 4cNI IAlcI 1dl- lot had worked the mile and a quar- ter for the race with his weight up in POS 2-5, phenomenal time for the distance, his horse would have beaten the Keene entrant had he been fit The fact that he has been coughing indicated that he could not win so he remained in the barn today while his stable companions, King James and Joe Madden were sent out to carry the Hidreth colors.
 While many believed that the race would narrow down to a duel between Ballot and King James, others did not give the latter a show in the mud. He is a good horse and a good horse can run in any kind of going but he is far from being good in bad go- ing.
 The other big race of the day, the running of the first part of the dou- ble event. was expected to be more or less of a farce. There were but three starters, August Belmont's Ro- gon: the Newcastle stables Danger Mark and J. B. Haggins' Shackleton, with Danger Mark the betting favor ite.

June N. and after reaching New York city will take the boat up the Hudson river as far as train to Ilion, N r., and will be the guests of their rivals during their stay. and will be especially entertained to dinner in their honor at the Rerning- ton Co. Country Club House.
 The Yosts expect to give them a great game and expect to win with the object of securing the Typewrfter baseball championship. It will be fine outing for the Yost boys and will greatly add to their already fine repu- tation. The boys greatly appreciate the honor paid them by the officers of the Union Typewriter Co.
 On their return home the Tosts will play New Rochelle at Yost Field, Sum- day, June 2eth.

 Jeffries Trainings Camp. Rowarden- nan, Cal, June 17.-If Jim Jeffries has his way, either he or Jack Johnson will be the undisputed champion of the world on the night of July 4. The big fellow wants to fight on Independ- ence Day. While he is naturally anx- ious to win on California soil, he is de- termined to fight on July 4, no matter where the promoters decide to pull off the battle.
 After a long conference with Jeff, Manager Sam Berger today declared that if the fight had to go to Reno, Jeff would accept that ultimatum and would be ready to enter the ring on schedule time. The big fellow is nat ura1Iy aggrieved at Governor Gillett's action in waiting until the last mo- ment to call in the law to prevent the mill, but he realizes that the chief exc cutive has the courts behind him and that it would be useless to Oppose Gill lett's orders. !, He fails to see why Gillett should have announced in the East that he would permit the fight only to come back here and stop it. However, he took the matter philo- sophicalIy and added:
