RIVER RIPLETS

The Streckfus Steamboat line steam
er ST Paul was delayed considerably
at ports between ST. Louis and Rock
Island yesterday and today because of
unusually heavy cargoes of freight
which were booked for shipment to
northern points, and so arrived in Rock
Island port after o'clock this after
noon, eight hours behind schedule.
This is the first trip of the season, and
although delay was not anticipated, the
officers of the company feel that moth
ing could be done TO prevent it. This
is the first through trip to st. Paul of
the season and shippers have taken adj
vantage of it. Therefore the st. Paul
is heavily loaded. The time delay will
probably be overcome in the return
trip from the north.

no more baseball here after that
date. The franchise will either be
sold or the players disposed of for
sufficient funds to meet our liabilities
for we propose to pay our debts be-
fore we go any further. That is the
long and short of it. There is no
bluff in this proposition. We would
hate as much as anybody to see Rock
Island deprived of baseball, but We
cannot play TO empty seats and dis
satisfied fans. We have always CIV
en- Rock Island good baseball and
the team this year Is as good as any
we have ever had from the manager
down Another thing that the pub
lie may not realize is that it costs
twice as much now TO operate a ball
team as it did when the league was
organized 10 years ago and the
price of admission has not increased.
To be sure the league decided this
year to charge double the admission
price for doubleheader games, but
there has been more or less demur-
ring TO this Feeling, nevertheless,
that our own baseball public would
stand by US, We contracted for ad-
ditional amphitheatre space, which
IS now about ready for use, but the
spirit of baseball does not seem to re-
spond as it did in former years and
we are simply up against it. There
is but one thing left to do and that
is to get out. All our debts will be
paid in some way and we will quit

HAS BEEN HINTED AT.
What has come to pass today was
limited at by The Argus on several
occasions last week. the hope being
continually entertained that some
thing would develop to avert the
loss of the club, and for The Argus
own part IL believes that the loyalty
of the baseball enthusiast may yet
be appealed to in Rock Island in time
TO save the game here. But to do this
somebody outside the association has
got TO start and manage the move
ment and that without delay. There
must be fund of SO 900 raised and
there must be a big improvement in
the attendance the next two days and
there must be a return to the old
time spirit of boosting instead of
knocking. Every loyal fan should go
TO the next three games, boost for
the home team and every member of
II and put the knocker out of bust
ness. While a marked increase in
thc attendance will not relieve the
financial stress of the association, it
will show that the hearts of the peo-
pie are in the right place and it may
help in saving the game to Rock Is
land
MUST ACT QUICKLY.
L is sincerely to be hoped that some
movement will be inaugurated that

order so they may have their inn ings. Asked concerning the pro- gress of work at the mine MT. Hamlin says the shaft is now thor oughly cleaned out clear down to the reservoir or stump. The pump is still submerged but he can get to it in a couple days work with the skip any time he wants to and as he has plenty of water on the sur face for the present he will let the bottom of the shaft rest. The shaft has not only been cleaned out but the soft place where the caving oc- cured has all been retimbered in first class shape wherever it was needed and his force of five men is now engaged in cutting a station ten feet square on the fourth level.
 Tucson Star: Considerable ex- citement is reported from the Reid mining district of the Santa Cata- linas over recent strikes and the continued good showings of the more important properties being worked there. It is asserted that every available foot of ground in the vicinity of the activities has been located. The Reid district is perhaps more familiarly known in Tucson as the Old Hat district. The Copper Queen company, which recently acquired the Gieseman, Leatherwood, and Billy Read prop critics in that district, has done considerable work on the Giese- man and Leatherwood claims. On the Gieseman claim at a depth of 300 feet there has been struck a vein of 13 per cent ore. This ore was almost reached by former operators who gave up the work and the Copper Queen began where the others left off. Immediately adjoining the Copper Queen prop erty the Copper Range in Arizona company is busily at work. Attor- ney Francis Hartman is the local representative of this company. The claim which is now being worked lies within 1000 feet of the end of the Copper Queen tunnel, and the latter company is working toward the Copper Range property The latter has over a mile contact vein of a sixteen foot ore which runs six and a half per cent copper and thirty per cent lead, with small values of gold and silver. A tunnel has been run in sixty feet with cross cut of ten feet.

ment progresses on the various claims of the Venezia Gold Mining Company, in the Crook Canyon section, better gold ore and stronger veins are being encountered. In 50-foot shaft on the Satisfaction claim ore has appeared which car ries as high as nine ounces gold per ton. From a depth of 12 feet on the Helen claim $14 per ton gold ore is being taken out and milled. This ore body is large. The company has plenty of water to operate it's mill and the ore out put keeps the bins full.
 Douglas International: Signs of a mining revival in the Swishelm dictrict are now manifest. At the northerly end of the range, beside the road which leads down from the trail up the canyon, there were two piles of ore in sacks to be seen on Tuesday. These had been brought down from the Swishelm property where MT. Gundaker is working as was heretofore stated in this paper. This ore is brought down in burro trains for three or four miles and piled up at the side of one of the best wagon roads that ever ran into mining district. It is there loaded into wagons and taken to Webb siding for shipment. The first of this hauling was doEe yesterday afternoon by John J. Bowen of Bisbee. The Swishelm property is silver-lead proposi- tion with values running high in silver and the shipments are made to the El Paso smelter for reduc- tion.
 Douglas International: Near the Swishelm property is the mine which the Heffern company has taken over from Jake Shearer Here there are sixty tons of lead silver ore on the dump and thirty more tons below ground ready to be brought mp. An extra force of men is to be put on this property It is possible to work two shifts of six men each below ground at this time and as the workings en- large the force will be increased. The Heffern company has several wagons and the necessary stock to do most of it's own hauling at the present time and plans to start shipments to El Paso in the course of week, On the Heffern prop erty they are working at one end of the shaft in silver lead ore and in the other in copper glance. Yes terday morning three men in three hours broke down eight tons of the latter, all of high shipping grade. Two men can break down ten tons of the lead silver ore in a shift. The entire country is splendidly broken up and highly mineralized. Considerable assessment work is being done on other properties.
 Arizona Republican: George Hamlin came in from the Relief mine again Wednesday night and devoted himself yesterday to get ting things in shape for the wet weather which he is certain is shortly to set in. Yesterday he sent out a cargo of distillate to keep the hoist in motion for a long time to come, and has supplies enough in camp to last until April.
