COMMONWEALTH
IS IN NEW HANDS
Nine Famous in the Early
Days Is to Be Developed
Extensively.

There is renewed activity in the
Pearce mining district. which is in the
center Of Cochise county, Arizona
About 80 years ago Tombstone. in
the same county, was the most famous
silver camp in the United States. Along
in the early nineties a discovery was
made about 80 miles east of the old
Bonanza camp which, although X did
not attract much attention in the
mining world, really was more phe-
nomenally rich in the precious metals
than Tombstone, and actually pro-
duced more than Goldfield did during
it's palmy days. Yet very little was
said about it But the records show
a production of about s35, 100000 in
very few years. The mine which
yielded all this wealth is known as
the Commonwealth, owned by COM
paratively few men, mostly residents
of New Mexico and Arizona, who found
the ore so rich from the grass roots
that they did not have to place nor
boom stock on the maket, which &C
counts for its lack Of notoriety.
The discoverer Of the Commonwealth
mine was John J. Pearce, who sold
out his property for the sum OF $780,
600. Little as Pearce realized or
dreamed of the future wonderful pro-
duction of that mine. he held on to
the extension thereof and refused TO
sell it. For a number of years he
worked and developed it single hand
ed, without striking anything any

assaying from $40 per ton up, some
ore yielding 81 per pound.
Property Is Taken Over.
Recently a company has been organ
lied at capitalization of s1,5eO, 900,
known as the Commonwealth Exten-
sion Mining company" which has
taken over the extension properties
OF the Commonwealth. V. C. Melligren,
of Tombstone. is the president of the
company. Mr.. Melligren is a mining
engineer and graduate Of the M:chf-
gan mining school at Houghton. in the
famous Lake Superior region, and has
begun campaign of active develop
menf to cut the contact ore deposits
which are believed to extend at a
depth from the Commonwealth into the
Extension company's grounds The
new company's holdings consist of
eight claims bounding and adjoining
the Commonwealth mine.
Character of the Mines.
The Commonwealth hill is an intru-
sion OF andesite and breccia thrown
up through the surrounding sandstone,
the ore deposits being found along the
contact of the two formations. The
general strike OF the ledge is north
west and southwest, dipping south
The ledge has been character
lied by numerous slips and minor
faults, indicating successive disturb
ances. A few hundred feet south
east of the original discovery
shaft there occurred a large minor
fault, cutting the ledge off at that
point. On running southeast about
500 feet, the ledge was again encoun-
tered. the, displacement being to the
south. The outcroppings Of the Silver
Crown claim IS q white quartz dixie.
The contact Of the andesite and breccia
follows along the Horn Spoon claim
and the Rainbow. A number of veins
OF ore outcrop on these claims, having
about the same strike as the Common
wealth lode, and all pitch toward the
contact. On this theory the new COM
pany is pushing work to crosscut the
ore bodies.
It is reported that Pearce. the orig
inal discoyerer. has<recent1y struck a
vein of gold ore a few miles east of
the Commonwealth which runs in the
ounces in gold.

Old CATALINA IS
To BE OPERATED
SHORTLY
Cananea District Shows De-
cided Revival Since Peace
Was Restored.

Cananes, Sonora Mexico, June "a
Announcement was made this week by
the Calumet and Sonora Mining COM
pany TO the effect that the company
would resume operations at their old
Catalina mine which has been idle for
q number Of years. The Catalina is
located about a mile from town. in g
northerly direction, and when work
was ceased at the property consider
able ore had been encountered in the
shaft
The Catalina was one of the first
shafts sunk by the company, and for
q time it looked as il that shaft would
be the principal one of the concern.
However. the scene Of operations was
shifted to the present mine OF the COM
pany. where the amount Of commercial
ore encountered was far greater than
that found at the Catalina shaft
The Catalina shaft is but a short
distance from the Reeves shaft OF the
Cananea- Boston property. and the
main ledge Of the district passes
through the Norton and Catalina de-
nouncemenIs Of the Calumet and Som

latter company is sunk on the ledge
and considerable ore has been dis
closed.
The Catalina shaft VIII be cleaned
out, Il being half full OF water, and a
hoist will be installed and sinking
again resumed. besides considerable
exploration work
On account of the formation Of the
property and the numerous lodges
which traverse It, there are excellent
chances for the encountering Of an
other large ore deposit similar to
that which is at present being mined
by the company

Every mem- Der or his team is, and they all have oeeh with but one or two exceptions, gentlemen on and off the field since Moiesworth has had charge. and the p,h- lie certainly owes him thanks and thanks again for that
 I attend ball games purely for the love of the sport, never having wagered a cent on the outcome of a single game and fl therefore matters not bit to me whether the manager is good mixer, A man who tells his business to the public and the newspapers, or whether he is 'grouch, tight wad or a mutt j erbe above are some of the arguments I've heard seriously advanced for his dis placement) He has made good in spite of the persistent knocking, just as Roy E,llam made good in face of sledge-ham- mer knocks from the fan-managers in the smoker. His team is respected and feared by all the other managers and is always spoken of highly by the news writers and fans of the other cities in which they play.
 Tn view of these facts I, for one. fail to see where there is any reason for the movement to displace him. Try little boosting. Can there be any justice or logic in the statement that he never was manager, is not now manager. and never will be a manager and even though he were to win the pennant, he would still be no manager?'
 We must put aside personal prejudice and boost him for the good of the team, the good of the town, and the good of the deserving association, and the great majority of the people (not necessarily the fans) who go to the park to see a game of baseball, to see the home team win and not to hear a stream of abuse (frlendly criticism because it happens not to be won in the way the fans think 1t should"

Nashville. July al)-B, superior all round work Birmingham frightened it's grip upon second place this afternoon by taking the second straight game from the locals by g score of to 3.
 It was a left-handed pitchers bout in which Speer easily bore off the honors over Aitchison, the latter being hit by the Barons steadily and hard 1 throughout the game.
 The seventh inning again proved the crucial round. The score up to that time was two all.'
 Birmingham opened the pot in the third when with two down Phelan lined to right stole second while Seabaugh popped him in the head with the ball as he went into the bag, and counted on McBride's long single to deep een- ter. The locals raised the ante in the next round when Welchonce. first up hit to center and advanced on smith safe bunt toward second. Perry moved both along with a sacrifice and Mana ger Schwartz cleaned up with slash- ing single to left.
 Chief Molesworth's outfit immediate ly cut down this margin when Speer, as a starter, drove long two-bagger over Storch's head and cantered in when Marcan bounded fierce ground CT of Aitchisons shins clear into right field.
 Then came the big blow in the sev- enth when Speer, whose hitting as well as pitching was one of the features of the game, again started things with a Texas leaguer two-bagger" to left. Marcan moved him to third with trim sacrifice and Manager Molesworth then walked amidst much local kicking. at Umpire Pfenninger, it being claimed that he swung at the last ball pitched
 Phelan then singled sharply through the inheld to right, scoring Speer, and Mcbride once more delivered in pinch I another long outfield single which count | ed his manager. Phelan made the third | score when Smith made a bad throw to the plate on McGlvray's squeeze ef- fort. The side was then retired on a double play as the result of Yantz grounding to short.
 The Volunteers rallied feebly in the | retired, Doc Wiseman swatted Speer and scored when Welchonce hit high three bagger into left-center.
 Speer's hitting was about the best box mans swatting seen here this season for besides his brace of two-sackers he got away with an infeld single, beating the ball out handily. Besides, on the bases he was both nimole and aggres- sive.
 Johnston was out of the game from g | blow received on the hand by a pitched ball near the close of yesterdays con | test and will probably be on the bench for a few days. Yantz, who worked il his stead, played fine ball. making two difficult running catches and driving ou 6 beautiful two-bagger.
