Baseball For shepherdstown.

Shepherdstown is to have good base
ball this summer, unless present plans 60
awry. An organization has been formed
in which there are six teams, from Shep-
herdStown, HagerStown, Frederick,
Brunswick, Martinsburg and Waynes-
boro, and which will be known as the
Western Maryland League. Four games
week are to be played by each team
two on the home grounds and two away
from home. The teams are to be purely
amateur, and no salaries are to be paid
any player.
The Shepherdstown team has been put
on a safe basis by the raising OF fund OF
$3.50 by voluntary contributions from our
local people. This sum with the gate
receipts will insure the expenses for the
summer. New uniforms have been or
dered and equipment bought, and the
opening games will be played on May
Both in three OF the towns.
The outlook for good team for this
place is very promising. Athey and Mark
Andrews will pitch for us, and Hooe will
catch. Other positions will be filled by
good men, Page Andrews will be here
later in the summer. An admission OF
Is cents will be charged, ladies and chill
dren Is cents. We hope that the pro-
motors of baseball may be successful in
giving us firstrate games, and that our
people will support the team financially
and with good will.

Two weeks ago Mr.. Coleman suffered
severe attack of acute indigestion, and

just sat down to the noon meal when he
had an attack OF heart failure, and before
the nearest physician could be summoned
life was extinct. The deceased was
ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church,
and a much beloved teacher in the Pres
byterian Sunday School. He was Free
Mason OF high standing, and Sir Knight
OF Potomac Commandery No. 5, Knights
Templar. He was trustee OF Edge Hill
Cemetery, director Of the Farmers and
Merchants Deposit Company, and held
other responsible positions in the local
business world. Asa neighbor and friend,
and ready to advance both the moral and
material interests of the people, he stood
high in the community, and in the closer
relation OF husband and father he was
loved and revered in home circle OF SUI
preme happiness. The first wife OF Mr..
Coleman was Miss Warren, from near
Harrisonburg, Va, who died some years
ago, and by whom he leaves one son,
Charles Warren Coleman, OF Washington
City. He formerly resided at Maiden, in
Kanawha county, and was very popular
in his old home. In 1892 he married Miss
Nellie Strider, daughter OF the late John
H. Strider, of this county, and in 1898
went into the hardware and agricultural
implement business in Charles Town.
He was 60 years of age, and leaves, in

A Indication.

The testimony before the grand jury at
Charles Town on Tuesday and the action
OF that body was complete refutation OF
the charge made against Mr.. John Aglion-
by that he had sold for beef an animal
unfit for food Untruthful and exagger-
ated reports, which grew into injurious
and malicious falsehoods, were freely
circulated, and a preSentment was made
before the grand jury. That body iuveS-
tigated the matter, and the States own
witnesses testified in way that resulted
in Mr.. Aglionby's complete vindication
and the case was thrown out OF court.
Mr.. Aglionby'S friends never had any
doubt as TO his rectitude. His life in our
community has been known OF all men,
and he has always been regarded as an
honorable gentleman and an upright citi-
zen who devotes himself to doing good
and who stands for high ideals. The
SANDER could not harm him in the eSti-
nation OF those who have known and re-
Spected him for so long, and this vindl-
cation is an official denial Of the exagger-
atoms and falSehoodS that have been in
circulation. II is we'll TO add that S. F.
Lemen is also entirely cleared ofany SuS-
picion in this affair. He was entirely in
nocent of any wrong intent in the begin
ming, nor did he do anything that could
be could be construed as harmful in any
way. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
thoughtlesS or malicious persons should
use the incident to so seriously harm him
in his business.

Town Clock Running Again.

Glory be The town clock is running
again. Under instruction OF the council,
Mayor Martin arranged with Jeweler W.
L. Jones, of Martinsburg, to repair this
ancient and honorable timepiece, and F.
6. Burch and Fitzgerald Jones worked
on it Tuesday and Wednesday and once
more set it to running and striking in the
proper manner. Mr.. Burch reports that
while one or two of the parts were some
what worn, the chief trouble was that
the works were gummed up with oil and
dirt. We all hope that the old clock will
now keep in the straight and narrow way
and give us no more trouble. And may
it tick off happy moments and strike joy
Gus hours for the people OF Shepherds

grand jury passed the following resolution,
which accompanied its report to the

The MOSSbaCk
 Mines OptiOned'

The big Mossback group of mines, to the northwest of Goldroad, have this week been optioned co T. s. O'Brien, the we'll known engineer and mining man, now with the Frisco Mines & Power Company. The price agreed on is said to be 1OO,0OOS. Charles Burlock, president of the Gold Reed Mining company, made the deal, MT. Burlock being the principal own CT of the mines.
 It is understood that MT. O'Brien takes the mines over for the interest of a big eastern corporation and the proposition is now on the way east for the consideration of the financial back CTS of the project.
 The Mossback is one of the largest veins iu the Silver Creek section. hav- ing an immense vein outcrop carrying values in gold. The main shaft has been sunk to a depth of approximately $50 feet and a crosscut at the bottom shows better than eighteen feet of good ore. On the surface a crosscut shows a width of more than twenty feet of mineralized vein and an average value of about l2s to the ton in gold. Many cuts have been run on the vein and in the shaft drifts have been run of and crosscuts from wall to wall of the vein, all showing good ore. The general average of the ore will be found as high as the other big veins of that section that are now turning out big monthly bar of bullion and paying dividends to shareholders. All the property needs is equipment and a big milling plant to make it one of the biggest of all the gold mines of the district.
 MT. Burlock has gone to the mine to sack two ton sample of the ore for shipment to the plant of the Frisco Mines and Power company for exper- mental treatment.
 The new corporation will unwater the mine as soon as a plant can be placed on it and will develop it as rap idly as possible. Drifts will have to be run of at the lower level and the ore body at that point opened.

St. Louis Consolidated
 In Good Ore

T. R. Garnier, manager of the St. Louis Con. Mining Company, came over from Cerbat Thursday last and departed to Los Angeles last evening. He has had a carload of rich lead ore sacked up on the dump of the mine preparatory to shipping it to the smell ter at Needles. He reports that in the crosscut from the deep tunnel a vein five feet in width of nice concen- trating ore has been cut. The cross cut is being continued to cut another vein that outcrops on the surface about fifty feet distant from the vein just cut. This vein shows a width of twelve feet and carried good values in gold, silver and lead. Shipments were made from this vein and it is expected ore of the same general character will be encountered in the deeper workings. The mIne throughout is showing good ore and the general outlook of the property is good.

Gold Road Bullion.

Yesterday afterday J. F. Mcconnell brought in the regular weekly ship ment of bullion from the Gold Road mill, the bar weighing 26,OOOS. The bullion shipment last week weighed within a few dollars of 3O,OOOS, being the largest bar ever taken out by the mill in one week, and making the production for fourteen days of this month about 3,5OOS daily. The capa- city of the mill is not taxed and it is thought that the production of bullion will increase every month from this time on until the full capacity is reach ed. The mine IS said to have broken ore in the stopes sufficient to keep the mill running more than nine months if every miner was taken out and no further mining was done. The com pany is increasing it's ore re- serves thousands of tons monthly and will be in position to supply a thou sand tons of ore daily at all times, if the need comes.

At the Ruth mine an attempt was made Thursday last to start up the new compressor and electric hoist, but it was found that no Juice" was forth coming through the transformers. An inspection was made of the trans formers and the opinion was that owing to water in the oil a short circuit was formed. The transformers were drained and the oil is being treated and will be replaced, when it is ex- pected that things will move along smoothly. The company has a splen- did plant of machinery on the mine and great things are expected of it. The mill is getting along nicely and will soon be in commission. The new shaft has about reached the level where it will be connected up with the level from the old shaft and stopes opened. The ore all along the line is getting better and in grade and width, a most pleasing feature from a com pany standpoint.

BeIIefIOwer Mine in Ore.

Despite the reticence of the manage ment we are authoratively informed that the Bellehower mine has encoun- tered ore in the crosscut to the west from the bottom of the l20 foot shaft.
 The work that was carried on along the seam first encountered proved it to be but spill over from the vein and the drifting along this seam was fin ally abandoned. The crosscut was run twenty feet through granite and the vein was found intact on the other side. The work was driven through to the other wall, which was thought to be diorite. A few pieces of the ore were seen in Kingman few days ago that showed the same general charac- ter as that found on the surface. The whole width of the vein is ore and al- thongh report of assays on it are not opinion that it will run well in gold. The vein is three feet in width and is in the solid formation. It is thought that water will soon be encountered in the ledge, which would be of great benefit in the working of the mine. H. M. Bowen, a large stockholder in the company, is in charge of the prop erty. When approached on the sub ject of the strike few days ago he refused to either affirm or deny the re- port. The mine is situated about sev- en miles southwest of Kingman, about one mile easterly from the Western Railway of Arizona. The haul to the railroad is down hill and good road can readily be made.

United States SmeIting.

A. F. Holden, president of the United States Mining, Smelling and Ref ming Company; Frederick Lyon, vice presi- dent of the same company; Sidney J. Jennings, a member of the directorate, and A. P. Anderson, field engineer of the company, arrived here few days ago and are making thorough examl- nation of the mining interests of the corporation.
 The corporation is just now inves- ting the Gold Road property with a view to taking it over, and this will probably carry with it all the power and other interests identified with the plant. The price that is to be paid for the property will be upwards of two millions of dollars, while the improve ments that will be immediately made will entail the expenditure of as much more.
 While the parent corporation is looking after these large investments its subsidiary corporation, the Needles Mining & Smelling company, is look ing to the improvements of it's hold i ings in the county by the building of railroad from Louise, four miles east of Kingmsn, to Stockton Hill, where the larger holdings of the corporation are situated. At present teams are hauling about sixty tons of ore daily | from these mines, but this will be a mere bagatelle compared with the output when the railroad reaches that point. A big aerial tramway is to be built from the plain below Stockton Hill to the mines high up on the mountain and all ores will be dispatch ed by this route and timber and SUD- plies brough in. It is expected that the building of the railroad and tram will minimize the cost of production and at the same time bring added activity to that section among the mines owners. Stockton Hill is capa- ble of daily production of 800 tons and these ores would go directly to the shelter of the company at Needles on account of the low rate of haulage and favorable shelter rates.
 The officials of this big mining and smelling corporation evidently have in view some big things for this county and that they will maUerialize within the next few months is undoubtedly 1 true.
