 MT. Baldwin says that the property consits of 12 copper claims, original ly located by Charles Debney. who subsequently bonded them to Sandy Carson for s25,000, who, in turn, bonded it to the present holding company for s60,000. Jeff Devin- ney, AL Grigsby. William Wilson, George Treat, John Feinbloom and Geo. Baldwin, as a partners began work on the property and ran 300 feet of tunnel, 70 feet of cross-cuts anh 75 feet of upraises, working all the time in the ore. A shipment of ore was made to the Tacoma smelter, showing a copper value of g and 1-2 per cent. and a gold value of s5 per ton.
 The properties are located about four and half miles back from the bay, near Valdez, at an elevation of 500 feet above tide water. A splen- did water power exists on the com- pany's grounds, but it is understood that the Syndicate will for the time being avail themselves of power ob- tained from the power plant at the mouth of Solomon Gulch
 It is the intention of the new holders to expends300,0 ,000 in devel- opment work, machinery, tramway, wharf and bunkers before a pound of ore is shipped Frank Stone has been put in as foreman and has force of men working with him. A diamond drill compreesors and other machinery will be installed at once when the working force will be augmented as fast the opening of the property justifies. It is ex- pected during the coming winter at least 40 men will find employment at the works, and in the spring when the tram and bunkers are being in- stalled and built this force will be largely augmented.

DRAFTING SYSTEM
REGARDED AS JOKE

The annual ceremony known in
baseball as the draft" ended. with
the usual result. The major leagues
have lost nothing, the major leagues
have gained nothing. Seyenty-seven
players have been dragged upward.
of whom about IS viii be tossed back
next spring, II not before then.
The annual draft has shown the an
nual bunco game; the gamble for
players who may be Of some service
during the spring training series
who may possibly be of some adver-
Using value during the winter and
spring, and perhaps seven of the n
may be real ball players.
The draft has proved one thing,
and that is that the system is one
huge joke, with which neither own
ers, players nor managers are salts
fed. Still, the system exists. Each
year under the solemn auspices of
the national commission the club
owners and their representatives
gather in Cincinnati. There are per-
haps rs near ball players in the min
or leagues who haven't been sold or
held under some options. Possibly
the owners in the minor leagues have
sold the players that the major lea
que scouts thought were best and
they have been hiding and covering
up the players who have real merit.
Very often, more often than not, min
or league teams possessing promis-
ing young players have kept them
out of the game, smudged their aver
ages, switched their positions and re-
sorted to other lodges 10 prevent the
major leaguers from discovering that
these men we're Of real value. They
have boosted certain players they
wanted to sell at figures over the
draft price had covered up the play
ers they could sell, hoping for big
prices next season. They put it up
to the big leaguers to guess which
players are worth while, foisted poor
players, advertised bad ones, and con-
cealed good ones. The scouts were
allowed to guess, and their guesses
are something weird and wild. For
instance six clubs wanted Otis ely
mer. who has four times been a mai
or league failure and always a minor
league success.
Just how much each club drew is
problematical. The American asso-
citation furnished only six players to
the big league, the International
yielded only seven, the Pacific coast
six. and the Southern six. The West
ern league lost only three men by
draft.
The conclusion is that either the
leagues had sold all the players who
were worth having or that the major
league scouts could not pick out
players who were worth having.
