Smeltzer started the ball rolling for
Newberry in the third by lacing one
to centre for a safe trip to first, Floyd
dittoed and both crossed the coveted
rock on Keitt's double to right. Per-
ritt then scored Keitt with beauty to
left. Newberry made one of her now
famous ninth-inning rallies and grab
bed the game from the fire. Wise first
up, placed a Texas Lacquer over short,
Keitt and Perritt singled in quick sue
cession, and with the bases full and
no one out Niger Epting pasted a
hot one to second, on which Wise
counted with the winning run.
The game was featured by the field
ing of Marrett and Poteat for Furman,
while Smeltzer and Keitt played great
ball for Newberry. Floyd, Perritt and
Keitt hit the ball hard for the Luther
ans, each securing a pair of safe
ones. Poteat and Tensley batted best
for the Greenville men.
These games closed Newberry's
schedule for the season, and "our
boys" have made great record, Win
ming ten out of twelve games played.
Clemson has played one game less
than Newbtrry, and up to the present
time has also lost two games. They
have one game to play with Furman
and provided the agricultural boys
win, the tie will probably be played
off during the next week or two-but If
they should fail to down the Baptists,
then Newberry would be hailed as the
undisputed champions of the State.
The prospects of the baseball cham
pionship being brought to NeWberry
for the following year are very bright
and should any of the deciding games,
if a tie has to be played off, be played
here your presence and roofing is
urgently requested.
Following is the box score of the
first game:

Newberry-F -Furman Games,

9 Newberry-Furman Games, @
| 9 8 8 3 8 3 /. 9 8 9 8 @ o o 9 9 o
Newberry defeated Furman, at
Greenville, on last Friday and Satur-
day in two of the closest and most ex-
citing games of the season. Though
the hits in the first game were about
equal, NeWberry was able to connect
when hits meant runs and Furman
lost a good many opportunities to
score through the absence of timely
drive. Both teams played fast field
ing game, and number Of possible
hits were cut down. Rice starred in
this department for the Baptists,
while Floyd and Keitt felded sensa-
tionally for the Newberrians. The
game was characterized by lack of
heavy hitting, but Rice and Shealy
each raped out two safe bingles,
while Tensley carried off the honors
by hitting safely no less than three
times out of four trips to the plate,
and it was Tensley who singled over
second, scoring Rice from third, after
two men were down, for Furman's only
run.
Edison was on the mound for the
Lutherans, and a pretty game did
Miss" twirl, allowing but five hits
and proving himself invincible in the
close places. Culbertson pitched a
steady game for the Purple and White,
but the score was held down mainly
by the excellent pegging of Cleveland
and the poor base running of Newber-
ry.
Newberry made her runs in the fifth,
when, after Perritt had been retired,
second to first, Cleveland errored, and
Edison was safe on the initial bag.
Shealy bingled safely to right and
then Becker scored Edison. on a time
ly one-sacker through second. Shealy
counted moment later, when Becker
was out on peg by Cleveland to Rice,
Boozer walked, but ended the inning
on an attempt to swipe second.
Furman's lone tally came in the
seventh, when Rice singled, swiped
second, advanced on anout and scored
on Tensley's timely single over second.
The second game was marked
throughout with heavy hitting and
was by far the closest game of the
two. Epting and Carson were the op-
posing boxnen and both were hit hard,
however, Epting kept the hits well
scattered and pitched excellent ball
with men on bases, while Carson al
lowed the Scarlet and Grey batsmen
to bunch their hits off of him. Credit
must be given, however, to both pitch
ers for the excellent ball they tWlried,
as the grounds were wet and fine
rain was falling during the greater
part of the game.
Furman started things to hum by
scoring one time in the second on Ten
sley's long two-bagger to right and an
error. Another was annexed in the
third on Golphin's two-timer and
Rices single. Their last run was
made in the seventh on hit, an error,
a stolen base and Johnson's hot one
through second.
Smeltzer started the ball rolling for
Newberry in the third by lacing one
to centre for a safe trip to first, Floyd
dittoed and both crossed the coveted
rock on Keitt's double to right. Per-
ritt then scored Keitt with a beauty to
left. Newberry made one of her now

THE NEW SWANSEA.

The success which is crowning the
efforts of the Swansea Consolidated
Gold & Copper Mining company in
bringing the Swansea mines and
smelter to paying basis is not only
an important achievement from the
standpoint of those who are finan-
cially interested in the company, but
it is also matter of great i'm
partance to the mining industry of
this part of Arizona
The success of every great in
dustry is usually attendant with many
difficulties, and Swansea has been no
exception. 1t is truly wonder that
it has succeeded in weathering the
stormy periods of its existence under
the Mitchell management, which was
extravagant in the extreme.
But these days have passed and
if the new company is given any
thing like chance by the American
interests it will not be long before
AOl IAClh uLld COuACy pOooCo0
one of the largest copper mines and
smelling plants in this part of Ari-
zona. Within the next ninety days
the capacity of the smelter is to be
inceased to 1000 tons every twenty
four hours, and improvements in the
method of mining, which are now un-
6nv xryi1
tonnage from the Swansea mines.
A great impetus is bound to re
suit to the mining industry geneally
in this section as a result of the sue
cess of the Swansea plant More
properties will start UP than ever be-
fore for the reason that the cost of
transportation and reduction charges
are more favorable than heretofore.
Under these favorable conditions is
there any reason why the great min
ing districts surrounding Parker in
every direction should not enter
upon an era of unprecedented devel-
opment?
Every mine owner in this section
should cooperate with the manage
ment of the Swansea plant in making
this enterprise success from every
standpoint, and in order to do this
the smelling company should be Civ
en- a preference over the other plants
when shipments of ore are made.
There is no other institution capable
of assisting the growth of the min
ing industry here more than the
Swansea smelter, and it is to every
bOdy's interest to foster and work
for the success of this enterprise.

ALCOHOL BAD FOR MINERS.

The effects of drinking alcoholic
beverages are many Some think
that a moderate amount of alcohol is
good, but whatever may be the
effects upon a man leading normal
life in good air, it is bad i'm all in
stances upon miners.
Mine work is enervating. Owing to
the fact that the air of the best ven
tilated mines is far more vitiated
than that of a well-ventilated office,
the system of a miner is very apt to
be suffering from want of oxygen.
Plenty of life in the open air when
off work is what the miner needs to
revive him, rather than an artificial
stimulant
Pneumonia is a disease from which
miners are especially apt to suffer,
because mine workings are apparent
ly good places for the incubation of
pneumonia germs. About the only
thing that can be done for suffer
er. with pneumonia is to give him
stimulants, to keep UP the heart
action. The two best stimulants in
such an illness are the alcoholic
drinks and strychnine. If the suffer
er. will not respond to alcf1o1ic slim
ulation, there is not nearly SO good
a chance fol. him to survive the at
tack when it is serious Possibly the
fact that SO many miners and those
in mining camps, drink rather cop
iously, is really more important than
the circumstances that mines are
generally located at high attitudes,
in explaining the low PERCENTAGE of
recoveries from pneumonia that char
acterize health statistics in mining
communities.-Minin World

A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING.

The following editorial in the
Los Angeles Times ON the subject OF
the Arizona and California River
Commission and it's great work states
that Parker is destined to become
the third city of Arizona. With its
unexcelled mining and agriculture re-
sources Parker refuses to take third
place. 1t may have to be satisfied
with second place, but from all in
dications it stands an excellent chance
of becoming the largest and most
prosperous of all Arizona cities. The
Times says:
''The workers of the Arizona and
California River Regulation Commits
sion have great work before them
at Washington in aiding, by their pre-
sentation of facts and arguments to
the committees of Congress, to obtain
the passage of bill appropriating
$4,000, 900 per annum for reservoirs
and aqueducts in California and Ari-
zona. In this work they will have
able allies, or, to speak more accur-
ately, they will ably aid those who
are already allied for the work There
is Senator Frank Newlands of Ne
vada, who is the father and mother,
and uncle and aunt of the policy of
Federal aid to irrigation. There is
the poetical young Senator Henry T.
Ashurst of Arizona, who in one term
has leaped to the front as the blue
sky orator of the Senate. There is
Senator Smith of Arizona-good old

On a Paying Basis.

G.. Clerc is vice president and
general manager of the re-
organized company. J. deSall-
SeamOn, Smelter superintendent, and
H. ID. Hughes, mine superintendent.
Uuder these various heads of depart
ments are assembled competent
crews, the .membrs of which, with
their superiors, are making history
in the copper mining world.
1t has taken several months for
the management. to get; the affairs
of the company on a good working
system, and even now changes are
being made in every department
when it is found that a new method
Of doing the work will result in
economy
AT present the company is paying
all mine, smelter and development ex-
penses by the successful operation of
the smelter, besides paying for all
Improvements now under way.
Among these Improvements is the
construction of a reverberatory fur
mace at a cost of 100000
The management should justly feel
proud of what has been accomplished
in bringing the mine and smelter on
paying basis within so short a
period. The success of Swansea mot
only means that those perseyefing
and much abused European stock
holders are to be reimbursed for
their venture, but it means big
boost to northern Yuma county and
the Parker district Now we have
a smelter at our very door that is
clamoring for ore, and ready to pay
cash for all varieties of copper ores.
This is bound to stimulate the min
ing industry throughout the north end
OF the county, as well as portions
of San BernardinO county, California.
We predict that it will not be
long before the magnates in the cop
per world will be looking to this part
of Arizona for investment in cop
per mines. With the vast ore bodies
of Empire Flats and those exposed
in the Arizona Empire, Planet, W..
& o. and other properties east of
Parker, it is reasonable to suppose
that within the next few years this
section will rank among the greatest
copper producing districts of Arizona

Gazing Method of Mining.

The ore is very soft, and consider
able trouble is experienced in hold
ing the ground. However, the man
agement is now at work on prepar-
ing. During the writer's visit at
the mines he found A. B. Hardwick
buisly engaged in drawing maps for
the carrying out of the proposed new
method, and from Mr.. Hardwick's eX-
planation the system is slicing and
caving method. The plan is to run
a drift into the foot wall 10 feet dis
tant from the ore. Every 80 feet a
cross-cut will be run in the ore. Be
tween the 800 and 400foOt levels
are to be 25 feet apart. Beginning at
the top the ore is to be taken from
both sides of the 35-foot drift, work
ing towards the center of the block
ed area At the next 25-fOot level
the same method will be pursued,
and when the block has been mined
the timbers are to be removed, start
ing with the timbers in the center
and as required the ones on either
side will be taken out, caving the
ground gradually. This method is
to be followed out down to the foot
wall. The ore shoot upon which this
method is to be applied Immediately
is 800 feet long on the strike of the
vein and l40 feet long on its dip, and
20 feet in thickness.
BY applying the slicing and caving
method the company will save all
of it's timber and the cost of mining
will be greatly reduced. An enor-
nous tonnage will be produced at
very low cost.
The drill holes indicate that there
are at least 100000 tons OF ore in
sight in the small area in which they
were operated How much further
the ore bodies extend is a matter Of
conjecture, but it is reasonable to
presume they are much greater than
exposed by the drill holes.
