SEEING THE GAM

He took his wife to see the game.
A frenzied fan was he.
He called the players each by name,
Explained the pastime to his dame.
"Ah, yes!" she said. 81 see."
The game waxed hot; the score was tie.
The home team up to bat.
He turned to her with cleaning eye,
Some game!" he said. She made
reply:
"Ain't that a fearful hiatt"
When Bill McBiff hit the sphere,
And knocked it out of sight.
He turned and hollored in her ear:

Quoth she: That hats a fright"
And gaily did the batters bling.
And runners crossed the plate.
The fan, ahi gladly did he sing,
Quoth she: That hats a cheap old
thing!
"A dollar ninety-eightt"
And al the finish OF the strife
He whispered 10 his dame:
Believe me, twas some battle.

Her answer cut him like a knife.
Quoth she, WHO won me game ,"

GOLD STRIKE CAUSES
EXCITEMENT NEAR YUMA

There is great excitement in Imperial
county adjoining Yuma county. Arizona,
over the discovery of gold, about Is
miles northeast of Yuma and Is miles
east of Brawley. Hundreds OF prospec-
tors are now flocking TO the scene of
this latest find, located on what is
known as the beach line, believed to
have been the limits of the Gulf of Cali
fornia ages ago. This gold is believed
to have been washed down by the Colo
RADIO river in ancient times.
There is an almost unlimited extent
of that strata, and the claims are being
staked for dozens of miles around.
Samples Of the sand washed here, and
pronounced by assayers to equal any
placer ground in the country has
caused feverish excitement. Jack Fo-
garty, Klondike and Goldfield miner,
who won and lost a fortune in Alaska,
was the first to stake out a claim, hav-
ing stumbled upon this find by acct
dent.

FOR HANOVER, N. M.
Will Be the Only Mill of the
Kind in the
World.

A meerschaum mill is the latest
thing in the mining and machinery
line And yet mat is precisely what
the American Meerschaum company is
planning TO build on the properties OF
the company at Hanover, n. NJ c. w.
Osterwald, the consulting engineer OF
the company, has been visiting a num-
Der of cities for the purpose of deter
mining the best methods of construc-
ton for a meerschaum mill.
The building of a meerschaum mill
presents many new problems in ma
chinery and in mining. So far as
known nothing of the sort has even
been attempted before, either in this
country or in Europe In Europe, so
the story runs. the meerschaum is
mined in blocks and these blocks are
formed into meerschaum pipss. But
the American Meerschaum company,
experimenting along new lines, sue
ceeded in finding grains OF the meer-
schaum in New Mexico. Heretofore
these particles of the meerschaum have
been ground up at Hanover and
shipped to New York City, where the
pipes have been manufactured. But It
has recently been discovered that the
meerschaum can be extracted-sort OF
refined as it were and that the refined
product can then be shipped in bet
ter and cheaper fashion than before
the extracting or refining. While this
has been true in theory it has not been
SO easy in practice. For no one could
be found who had ever invented or
planned or built meerschaum mill. In
fact not even a grinder could be found
either in the old world or the new.
Hence it was necessary to make the
grinders. And in the work of building
the meerschaum mill it has been neces-
sary for the consulting engineer to visit
different towns, ordering the machinery
whenever and wherever it has been
possible to obtain it.

PENNINGTON ROAD
IS ASSUMING SHAPE

Pennington, N NJ, April 14.-The
proposed Pennington. Albuquerque &
Gulf railroad is beginning to assume
tangible form and the Pennington men
who are promoting it are getting en-
cOura cement from all sides.
Frank Eldridge, chairman Of the
railroad committee of the San Juan
congress- has recently visited several
towns of the western slope of Colo
RADIO and at a meeting with the eXecu-
tive committee of the Pennington
board Of trade he discussed the pro-
posed railroad and it's connection with
the western slope country He says
that the different fruit growing Sec
lions between Pennington and Grand
Junction are greatly interested in the
building of the Pennington road and
feel that it will mean great deal to
them, in giving them a southern out
let on a light grade. which will be a
great advantage over the long hard
pulls over the high mountain passes,
which make railroad rates much more
than they should be.
The plans for building the railroad
were inaugurated by the Pennington
board of trade. A committee from
this organization, with an engineer
went over the line between Farming
ton and Albuquerque and discussed the
plans with the Albuquerque CONNER
cial club. Citizens from the two towns
and other towns that will be benefited
will get a permanent survey made and
will then place the matter before capt.
talists. The citizens have already or
ganized company and have secured
a part Of the data, and have men at
work compiling an estimate of the
tonnage available to this line so that
capitalists may be shown just what
they may expect in that line.
