SHOW B|G INTEREST
 IN THE LEAGUE
Reports on all Sides That Sev- eraI Teams Are to Have New Lineup Right
 Away
ALL WANT THE PENNANT

The enthusiasm of the players and managers of the teams in the local baseball league is now running high and as a result of shakeups in sev- eral of the teams some surprises are promised the fans in the next few weeks. Aroused by the con tinuous winning of the colts the man agers of the other teams have been scouting through all parts of the district looking for material that might strengthen their respective teams, and now each promises a much stronger lineup for the bal ance of the season
 Interest among the players was also increased yesterday by the an- nouncerent that prizes would, be awarded at the end of the season to the players with the best records in batting and fielding.
 Rumors that the C. and A team, which is now at the bottom of the percentage column, was to be ma terially strengthened, have been heard among the fans for several days, and seem to be well founded, although the management of that az gregation has as yet made no an nouncement of the plans. The Cop per Queens are also figuring on 8 stronger lineup and with that in mind will try out two new pitchers in practice this evening. The pros pective twirlers for the Queens are Engle and Myers. In addition to these candidates the Queens are counting on A great addition to their line-up in Ted Frank, who is an all-round infielder and will join them in about three weeks. The Queens are now practieing regularly two evenings a week at the Warren park and plan to get in an extra evening of practice this week
 The Bankers are also planning on some changes in their lineup but have not given out any dope in re- gard to what these changes would be- IL is rumored. however, that they will present an entirely new outfield in their game with the C.. and 4. Sunday, as they have secured some heavy hitters to cover the out CT gardens.
 The directors of the league will meet this evening to arrange a sched- ule for the next month and to de eide when the postponed garme of last Sunday will be played.
 It is expected that after this meet ing the directors several other prizes for individual work among the players during the league season will be announced.

Cashier KuykendaII of the Citizens Bank Feels En-
 Couraged by Ore Finds

There is a very interesting sample of ore on the desk of B. R. Kuyken- dall, cashier of the Citizens Bank and Trust company, which has been taken from a mining claim in which MT Kuykendall and some other local business men are interested. The specimen. which is sample Of several tons of the ore that has already been removed from the claim during some prospecting work, shows plainly streaks of lead and silver and according to assays that have been made the ore also contains considerable copper and some gold. Assays of several samples of the ore show that it is worth about S3O ton.
 The claim from which the ore was taken is located about five miles from Bisbee over the divide. It is one that was taken up during the last boom and on which prospecting work had just. been started when the panic struck this district. Since then the owner has died and recently local people secured an option on it, and with the idea of determining it's worth started prospecting work. Two men have been at work on the claim for some time and are still there and the results so far are very satisfactory to those interested lin the project

INJUNCTION GRANTED
 FOR GREEN COMPANY
ReStrainer Issued Which Will Allow Company to Repair
 Dam and bitches

An injunction restraining Charles Blair and Minnie Blair, his wife, from interfering wth or preventing the Greene Cattle company from repairing or rebuilding a dam and cleaning an irrigation ditch was granted yesterday by Judge Doan at the request of the Greene com rany.
 The dam and ditch were built by the cattle company about five years ago on some land that was at that inc public domain. Since then the 3lairs have taken up so acres around The dam and have refused to allow the cattle company to come on the 'aud to repair the dam or clean the ditch Fearing that with the first heavy rain of the season the
 am would be damaged if not washed out. the Greene company decided 70 get legal action which would per init it to repair it and so arranged 10 ask for the injunction which was granted yesterday.
 It has developed that this action was taken none too soon. as # was found Monday that the dam in ques- ton wss washed out as a result of the rain Sunday.
 It is not known whether the Blairs will contest the injunction, but ii is claimed by the cattle company that the laws in the case are per. fectly clear and that as the dam was built before the land was taken up it has a perfect right to repair it at any time. Fred A. Sutter rep resented the cattle company in court
