Much has been said about the
changes that have been made in this

few have realized what the endeavors
of the joint committee have really
amounted to.

senting voice on the matter of the pro-

tions will go as recommended.
silk" OLoughlin Of the American
League umpire staff, has taken the
trouble to outline in brief the various
changes for the benefit Of the fans
as follows;
'The coacher's box has been limited
so that the coacher cannot approach
nearer to first base than fifteen feet.
The dead line is drawn at an inn
aginary line directly through first
and second bases.
"The captain viii no longer have to
appeal to an umpire for small Of
fences such as the discoloring OF now
balls. 1t is the duty Of the umpire
to watch these things himself.
when a player is substituted or
shifted from one position to another
the captain must notify the umpire
and the latter must announce the
change to the spectators.
"The batting order Of both teams
must be delivered by the captains
to the umpire at the home plate be-
fore play begins and the players thus
named must participate in the game.
"A runner is allowed three bases il
a player on the defence throws a glove
or a mask at a batted ball and sue
ceeds in hitting it or impedes its pro-
gress.
THE umpire Judging balls and
strikes is the chief The other UNI
pire has jurisdiction over first and
second bases only.
Every player gets an assist who as
sists in putting out a runner, even
though he makes the putout himself.
thus receiving credit for a putout and
an assist on the one play.
"The chief umpire can first fine and
for a second offence eject players who

Ne Relocating Allowed

Ii has become almost thing If

proaches, lJr US 30 refer to the
necessity Of performing assessment
work on unpatented mining claims,
says Mining Record. The law re-
quires this 30 be done during each
calendar year, as all good prospect
ors know There is an additional sug-
gestiOn to be made, which grows out
Of land office ruling made a few
months ago, namely, that the
method sometimes followed Of allow
ing claims TO lapse and of relocating
them after the first OF the new year
will not be allowed in the future.
The new order excludes the late
claimant from the right of relocation
within three years after the date of
his original location" Successive
relocatiOns as means of evading
the annual assessment work has been
accepted as fraud upon the govern
ment and such claims are now
declared TO be void.

Anstker Railroad Rumor

The tangled skein of railroad
rumors has received another knot in
the report that the Colorado Midland
had acquired short line from
Grand junction 10 Denver by using
the Colorado a Southern tracks from
Buena Vista through the South Park
and building a short cot from Buena
10 Aspen This latter is not detail
ed, but of course must have reference
TO the often proposed Taylor park
road from St Elmo TO Tin Cup,
Dorchester and Ashcraft. Ii is short
er, and opens up great mineral
territory, but crosses two very high
and diiiiealt passes. either one as
bad or worse than llagerman pass.
No doubt, however, there is close
connection between the &. a $ and
the Midland road. The Midland is
owned equally by both the Rio
Grande q Southern roads, but the
Hill interests have evidently acquir-
ed an edge on the control.
Now if the c. a :. will build its
short extension 10 the North Fork, II
will have main lines down both
great valleys of the Western Slope
the same as the Grande, and be in
even more advantageous position be
cause # lis shorter trackage, a
hundred miles less 10 Denver.
