STOCKHOLDER IS PLEASED WITH
 FORTUNE
A. E. Broas Says Mine Is Destined to Become
 Big Producer
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES ARE BEST OF ANY IN
 COUNTY.
(From Saturdays Dailyl

NrIom 'odtufudy Dalyl
 Returning yesterday from the camp of the Fortune Mining Company on Big Bug creek, A. E. Broas, mem- Der of the board of directors declared that he is well pleased with the mine, and stated that he believed the erpa- tiOn of an attractive property was assured. Going into details, Mir Broas said:
 "This was my first trip to the mine since last February. Since that time the amount of development Fer formed creditably reflects on the knowledge and ability of the manage ment, and is perfectly satisfactory. The main tunnel has reached dis tanee of 240 feet, which l was in- formed would be the terminal point for the present. The amount of ore taken out in this work will reach to at least 200 tons, and assays made while I was there gave results of S2O to S3j a ton. In the face of this tunnel, there is no mistaking the fact that the vein is strong ard gives every indication of being per manent. In view of this determina- tion the purpose is to begin sinking at that point, and to operate to good advantage an upraise to the surfaee has been started, which had reaenei 9 feet the day l was there. The vein here also is uniform and of tte same character as that in the Sun- mel, but carrying. lesser values, ranging from S20 to $25 a ton. Samples were cut from this work, also. while I was there. which gave these returns. One feature of the Fortune mine that strongly comments itself. is its desirable location for economic transportation of the pro- duet. which is of vital consideration. Its ores can be dumped onto a ear without neeesSitating a cent of addi- tional expense. which IS a condition that does not present itself at any other property in the county. Trans pOrtation facilities are certainly | favorable. and with the custom shelter but eight miles distant, the treating of the product will entail but minimum expense. Taking everything into consideration, affect ing this property. my inspection has been attended with gratifying re suits, and am pleased at being Identified with the company

The Gbove are the results of the

ten minutes session. resulting in a vic

The ice was fast, and the contests
were among the prcttiest ever wit

Kinks there were large attendances,
and the kccnest interest was shown.

The January meeting of the Big
eight conference will decide questions

ing world. While no definite predic-
ton can be made at this time as to
what the attitude of the western col
'eges will be on the summer baseball
question, ii is almost a safe predic-
lion that the athletic censors of the
middle west will stand pat for a strict
amateur code and that the fight start

pile.

No doubt. when the matter is set

proclaim the western conference the
purest collegiate athletic body in exist

themselves on the back for holding the
organization in the path i'm which it
was intended to travel
while passing out bouquets to them
selves, might it not be well for the
Chicago and Wisconsin athletic direc-
tors who rumor says, control the con-
ference. to pause and ponder on the
following thought:
IF the conference is such a good in
sttution for the colleges which are
members of It, why would 1t not be
an equally good thing for these col
lcges which are not members. but
which have tried year after year to
break into the athletic aristocracy OF
the middle wcst?"
Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ames and
Marquette are the big Institutions Of
this section which are denied the pro-
lection CO of the conference. and why?
Notre Danes eligibility standards are
unquestionod, as are those of Ames and
Nebraska. while Marquette is now
playing under a code that is second
to none. with the possible exception of
wisconsin in strictness i'm this neck
OF the woods. Why not open the doors
to all who subscribe 20 the standards
OF the conference?

JOE TINKER SAYS BIG MEN ARE
NEEDED IN MAJORS.
Western Players Also Have the Game
ness to Make Good.

Joe Tinker the Cub shortstop, has
an idea that the west viii send more
ball players to the major leagues than
any other section of the country.
More than that. Tinker says that the
scouts in the future will spend more
time in the west than they have in
the past. And the argument of Tin
ker in favor of the west is logical.
"The west breeds big, strong, game
men," said Tinker and those are
three qualifications which 80 a long
way toward making a man a great
ball player.
size is the least important of
these. The small man may be a
great ball player. But the tendency
in the major leagues is to pay more
attention to the big men. In fact
some of the managers require thai
the pitchers be big. strong, husky in
dividuals
strength is essential Occasionally
you see a fellow who is not powerful
driving the ball to the far corners of
the lot. Such a fellow is Frank
Schultz of the Cubs. Yet these men
are the exceptions. The strong fell
lows are the ones who are best liked
and who are In tho majority.
But size and strength count for
nothing unless that thing we call
gameness Is also present. And that is
where the western fellows shine. They
are fighters. They come from a breed
Of fl ghters. Their fathers before them
fought TO conquer a country of which
but little was expected. The never
say-die spirit was instilled at birth.
have seen lots of fellows from the west
playing baseball and mighty few OF
them lacked that nerve which makes
man fight just as hard with the
score against him as he battles when
he is winning.
1.-THE man who has nerve and has
no natural ability isn't likely to make
much Of hit In the major leagues.
But he'll get just as far as the fellow
who has tremendous natural ability
and weak heart
Tho fellows i'm the west come big
and strong and ready to fight to win.
There should be more Of them in the
National and the American leagues.
And I'm one OF those fellows who be-
lievc that there will be just as soon
as the scouts begin to awaken TO the
fact the west is a grand recruiting
