GOT THOMAS ON GAMBLE.
Connie Mack Fully Repaid For Con
fidence in Backstop.

Connie Mack has the impression
denied into his acute brains that Ira
Thomas is just about due to have the
best season of his career this time
and also to be about the finest catcher
of the league.
"The very thing that-..I took a
chance on seems to be coming out
just as l hoped" said Manager Mack,
talking about the swarthy backstopper.

OATES WILL BE MADE GAME
AND FISH WARREN JULY |
NEW JOB FOR LAURlUM MAN,
SECRETARY TO OSBORN.
YOUNG FLINT ATTORNEY WILL
GET PRESENT PLACE.

IT is generally understood, says the
Lansing Journal, that on July 1, Major
w. r. oates. of Laurium, secretary to
Governor Osborn, will leave the exc
cGtive Office to become state game and
fish warden.
Friends of the major are highly
pleased ut the prospect and expect him
to make as good d record i'm that ca
pacity as he has in his present duties,
during the turmoil incident to estab-
fishing a new administration with Il
session of the legislature on.
When that happens there will be no
great change i'm the machinery of the
executive Office Murl II. DeFoe Of
Charlotte, executive clerk and secre-
tary of the state board of pardons and
paroles. by whom everyone swears who
knows him, will retain his present po-
stion by reason of his liking for the
work and the excellent manner in
which he is keeping the wheels going
round"
This will not interfere with his con-
tinuing to assist in performing spec
ial duties which the governor entrusts
to him, and it is probable that an in
crease in salary will be his portion.
Under the new arrangement De Hull
n. Travis of Flint, a well known and
bright young attorney of Flint, will

MERGER PLANS
ARE POPULAR
STOCKHOLDERS OF STATE saw
INGS BANK AND FIRST Ma
TlONAL TO TAKE &C
TON THIS MONTH.

Plans for the proposed merger Of
the State Savings Bank and the First
National bank of Laurium are arous-
ing considerable interest among the
friends of both institutions 1t is
generally believed that the stockhold-
ors of both banks win approve the
plans submitted to them by their di-
rcctors. The stockholders of the First
National bank will take up this mat
ter on June 80, and 1T probably will
be one week later before the stock
holders of the state Savings bank
take action.
A two-thrds vote OF the stoclhold-
ers of each institution will be neces-
sary before the consolidation plans
may be carried out, AS the proposal
met with the Unanimous approval of
the directors of the two banks how
ever, and as many Of the large stock
holders are known to be i'm favor of
1t, those familiar with the matter cX-
pcct the merger plans will be rati-
fled.
If the consolidation plans are car
ricd out as proposed, the capitalization
of the State Savings hank will be in
creased from 100000, divided into
1000 shares, to $15O,OO0, divided into
l,500 shares The stock of the First
National bank of Laurium will he
taken over on a basis of two shares
for one. The new institution would
be state bank, and the charter Of tre
First National bank will be given up.
The business would be conducted un-
der one roof. but it has not been de-
cided yet whether the site of the First
National or the state Savings bank
would be retained. The question of a
name for the institution has not been
taken up.
The state Savings bank was orga-
nized in November 1897, with a CAPT
talization of $50 900, divided into 500
shares I'm 1901, the capitalization
was increased to $4,000, represented
by $50 shares. In 1910, a $4,000

JENNINGS TAKES EXTREME
MEASURES With PITCHERS
Will be Required to Take Vacation
Without Pay " They Fail to
Deliver the Goods For
Rest of Season.

Convinced that his veteran pitchers
have had sufficient time to get in con-
dition, Manager Jennings has decided
on other tactics. Unless the twirlers
show him more on the mound he will
send them home to work out there at
their own expense.
The manager of the JunSalecrs gave
out a statement Tuesday in which he
said:
IF a balI player who has been sent
to Hot Springs in February and
nursed along like baby for three
months thereafter, is not ready to go
out and serve his club by June /, he
ought to be given "A little of his own
time in which to get in condition.
"Of course, this does not apply to a
man who 10 injured or to one who is
suffering from some illness that re-
quirCs doctors constant attention. "
But for a man to lay off day after
day and week after week there should
be a better excuse than the daily story
to his captain that he is not feeling
right. That goes all right for three
or four weeks, but it gets a little wear
isome when the season is seven or
eight weeks Old
I'm what other business or profess
sicn, pray, could an employee lay off
from April II to June /, on the plea
that he wasn't feeling just right for
work?

Such is Bill s interesting daily toll
for three months. I might even saw
fascinating alike to employer and
employe. The latter does not be-
grudge the loss Of the sweat whereby
he earns his daily bread as does his
brother miner Of more southern
cline; and the former realizes under

that compels men to work harder
than IN any other climate [ do not
know. But having had the expert
ence l can truthfully say that such
is the case. l have seen men after
hard days work in the pit take UP
shovel and pick and 90 somewhere
on their employers claim to sink a
hole, or go and help the boss to clean
bed rock. When the pay is mostly
on bed rock it is indeed interesting
to see a gang Of men on their hands
and knees picking the dirt from the
crevices. a spoonful at time. The
same interest they show in their
work they evince in the cleanup.
When the owner brings the clean up
into the tent, a guessing contest is
started. and it is surprising how near
someone will guess the correct
amount. After the whole is weighed
each one receives his days pay.
frost makes his appearance, his icy
breath sweeping down the hillside
soon converts the emerald studded
hills into gray desolation. Up to
the last moment Bill hangs on to his
work, but the first of October he
shuts down. Everything is taken
from the creek bed and piled on the
bank to dry; the miners seek their
own habitation and Bill and Jones
remain on the claim to establish
winter quarters and make prepara-
tion for winter work. Perhaps you'll
say, well, that's the last of Bills
mining until next summer" but far
from it. Notwithstanding the fact
that readers of Alaskan stories are
under the impression that the Alas
kan miner works about three months
and lies in his cabin nine months of
the year, l beg to say that there is
plenty of work to keep him busy;
and ample opportunities for those
who have mind to do so, to earn
from $500 to $4.00 per day during
the nine months. Of course, sluic-
ing comes to an end at the freeze-up,
but, as the reader will see in fol-
lowing article, sluicing the ground
that Old Sol is thawing for the miner
is by no means all of placer mining
in Alaska.

SLUICING.

u.
A month has passed. Bill's claim
presents scene of activity. Near
the three new tents is piled sluice-
lumber and hose and the necessary
tools for digging. Jones, who is still
with Bill, but now in the capacity of
foreman, is making slui boxes
while Bill with a crew of six is
working in the ditch. For, in order
to sluice, as Bill anticipates, the
creek has to be turned from it
present channel so as to dry the creek
bed. A channel quarter of a mile
long (the length of a placer claim is
1920 feet by 600 feet wide) has to
be dug, and this, owing to the frozen
ground, is laborous task and quite
expensive, even at the very lowest
rate OF wages, $500 per day and
board. When the ditch is completed
dam has to be erected, and as the
Alaskan miner, or at least the be-
ginner, seldom has any material but
sod and willowbrush with which to
bnild the dam, the reader no doubt
realizes that the dam after it is COM
pleted rests on many failures. When
the last sod has been laid on the
dam and the stream finds it way
through the new channel, Bill is
ready to quit 'gophering" and start
to mine. Six boxes each, IL feet
long, IL inches deep and IL inches
an the -rfo--l1 Fz.---.-s~7sss--- 7---S
lower cod, are brought to the lower
end of the claim. The lower end of
the first or tail-box rests on the
backdam, a wall of sod to prevent
the sluicehead of water from run
ming into the pit during operation),
while the upper end is propped up
so that the box has an elevation OF
10 inches. then the narrow end Of
the second box is lifted tightly into
the upper end Of the first, securely
propped and braced, and so on to the
last, The setting up OF string OF
boxes requires more skill than. the
layman might realize, and it, after
locating the gold, is the main point
in the sluicing. First, care must be
taken that they stand solid and the
parts under them placed in such a
way that at a moments notice they
can be exchanged for longer ones.
Then a uniform elevation must con-
tinue throughout the string of boxes,
otherwise he miner would be
obliged to 90 to the tailings for his
cleanup. When the rifles have been
placed in the boxes and the IL inch
hose, carrying water from the dam,
led into the upper end, the real hard
work begins. The six men are sta
toned beside the boxes and shovel
gravel into them as fast as the per-
suading $500 per will let them bend
their backs. The sluice head o1
water rushing through t he boxes
carries off every thing but gold
Rocks as big as a mans head come
tumbling down the incline b the
tiny particles of gold lodge between
the rifles and are held there by tht
force of the water.
On this first day of sluicing Bill
has no time to loiter. Here and ther,
he takes pan of dirt to see how th'
pay-streak runs. When he has as
certained that no waste is handled
he steps over the backdam and take
pan of tailings, to see whether an
gold runs over. With extreme car
he washes the dirt that has found it
way through the sluice boxes; finally
with wrinkled brow. he dumps tn
result back into the pit. He ha
