The thirteenth annual session
of the American Mining Con-
gress opened Monday of this
week in Los Angeles. Cal. This
annual congress during these
thirteen years has accumulated
such a large amount of mining
literature and mining informa-
ton that il has been found wise
TO establish a permanent head
quarters. Such headquarters is
at Denver Col. A letter ad-
dressed there TO the Secretary
by any of the mining operators
of this district will bring much
valuable information for the
asking.
This mining congress is re-
sponsible almost entirely for the
action of the United States es-
tablishing a Bureau of Mines.
President Taft appointed a head
for the Bureau the other day.
This mining congress is also res
ponsible almost entirely for the
action of the legislatures Of some
of the states in passing laws
looking to the safeguarding of
mines and mine workers.
Very few people realize that
90 per cent OF all the traffic ham
died by the railroads Of this
country originates in its mines.
There are two million miners
in the United States and the val
ue of their production is one
thtisand five hundred million
dollars annually. A part of that

James Persons of this place
reports that he has an option on
some property in Carrsyille KY,
and that on the bank of the Ohio
river there has been opened up
a vein of zinc. This vein shows
up splendidly within three feet
of the surface and the mineral is
very coarse grained and would
be very easily separated. There
is no fluor spar in it which elm
mates one of the hard problems
of zinc mining in this district.
We understand that Mr.. Persons
is now away interesting foreign
capital in this zinc proposition.

Rosi-Clair and Fair View, ILL
nois are just across the Ohio
river from Carrsville Kentucky.
The mines at Rosi- Clair are
owned by John r Mclean pro-
prietor of the Cincinnati En-
quirer and the mines at Fair
View by Mr.. Mulholland Of
New York City. These mines
employ about $50 men daily in
the Fluor Spar industry. They
are on quite a boom just at pres
ent due to the tariff and the gen
eral prosperity of the country.
The Fair View mines have a rail
road to the river and there put
the cars on a track barge which
goes 10 the incline at Golconda,

by barge to Shawueet0wn and

Speaking of the Illin@is side of
the river recalls to our mind the
fact that the difference on
freight b northern and eastern
points, especially. between this
side of the river and the other
side was for years S1.@ per ton.
Added to all the other woes OF
the Fluor Spar producer those
ca this side of the Ohio river
were obliged to have a mill
stone of s1.00 per ton around
their necks in the way of extra
freight charges. Rosi4Clair and
Fair View could cut our prices
81 90 per ton and still make the
same profit. This state of af-
fairs remained for years and not
until recently has any relief
been afforded The difference
in rate is now anly twenty cents
Since Congress has enlarged the
powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and that
Commission has commenced to
get busy there has been an
awakening of dry bones in rail
road circles. Mr.. C. S. Num-
President of the Kentucky Fluor
Spar Company deserves more of
the honor. than any other one
man, for the readjustment of
rail road rates and an equalizing /

OF the finest zinc ever shown il
this district. The shaft ha
been sunk 100 feet deep. Tn,
mine is well equipped with tw'
new boilers, air compressor anC
everything that goes to make &
first class mine. They have JUS
enough water and not too much.
This is a little remarkable as
there is creek close.
The Evangelist Mineral ma r.
Mr.. Geo. Cramer has a few
ideas in the process of incubation
that will make the south end OF
this county sit up and take no
tice If he succeeds in carrying
them out. He now proposes to
organize a Company or to get his
own Company to put in the neces-
sary money to pump out the old
Tabb shaft. This shaft was dug
twenty years ago by Millionaire
Brown of Pittsburg and his
nephew Will Ward. Fluor spar
did not interest them They
were after silver and silver they
got but at a great depth the
water got so strong that the
workmen in the shaft only es-
capped with their lives by the
swiftest climbing. The mine
filed to the top. Ward went TO
Pittsburg and returned with
powerful pumps but they never
could make an impression on
the water and had to abandon
the mine. Ward always said he
struck an underground ocean
Since that time the science of
pumping water has improved to
such an extent that we believe
powerful Cameron pumps and
huge boilers will empty the Tabb
mines. The effort of Bro. Cra-
mer will be watched with much
interest IN mineral circles.

NAVY TEAMS PLAY BALL
Nebraska Men Keep Champion
ship, Defeating Hancock.
PITCHER HERO OF THE GAME
Sailors Prove Enthusiastic Fans.
but Attendance Was Small
Mr.. Sherman Absent.

The baseball team from the battleship
Nebraska, holders OF the championship Of
the United States navy. successfully de-
Tended the title in game with a nine
from the Hancock, at American League
Park, yesterday AFTERNOON. winning by a
score Of 10 10 6
For the first three innings, al the end of
which period the score stood 10 ? in favor
Of the Hancock men, Il seemed like an easy
victory for them. Their opponents. how
ever, showed they were not faint Of heart
struggled harder and harder. and played
better and better as the game progressed
The nerve they showed WAS deserving in
itself Of the victory that came their way
The sailors from the Hancock. on the con-
trary, seemed 10 lose speed after the third
inning, and when hit was needed when
il would do damage they were not equal
10 the occasion. Besides Wilhote. who
pitched for them. weakened considerably
Errors figured much in the run getting on
both sides, although the greatest offenders
in this line we're the Hancock men.
The profits derived from the game we're
turned over 10 the treasurer Of the relief
fund Of the navy. The contest did not
prove much Of financial success. Less
than one thousand persons were in at
tendance, and this number almost seemed
lost in the spacious stands. It was said
that Vice-President Sherman would throw
out the ball ar the beginning of the game
but he failed to put in an appearance, and
the honor was performed by Captain ". s
Cowles Of the Hancock.
What was missing in attendance was
made Up for n enthusiasm The bands
from the Nebraska and the Hancock, in op-
posite parts Of the grandstand, furnished
music. but once the game got under way
their services we're little appreciated. A
good part Of the spectators were sailors
from both ships, and while they showed the
greatest kind cf rivalry during the game,
after It was over ii was all forgotten. and
the losers were as loud in applauding the
victorious team as the winners.
Il was in the eighth inning that the Ne
braska men began q batting rally which
never stopped until they got four men over
the plate, which for the first time gave
them the lead by score of S 10 6. The noise
from the Nebraska cohorts that followed
sounded as If bedlam had broken loose IN
the following inning the Nebraska men again
sent balls in various directions Of the
field and added two more runs to their
score getting.
Rosenberg. who pitched for the. winning
team. was one of the heroes Of the contest
STEADY, now Rosey: steady, steady,
