MINERAL P 0DUCTIGN In
kORTh CAROLINA DLRITG 1912

During 1912 the North Carolina
Geological and Economic Survey
continued its cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey in
the collection of statistics of the
production of all the minerals and
ores Including clay products) which
were mined in North Carolina dur
ing that year. These statistics will
be published in connection with
more elaborate data later in the
year; but, on account of the i'm
mediate damand for the figures
showing the production of the va
rlous minerals, these are given pub
llclty in an abbreviated form in this
Press Bulletin.
One OF the most noticeable facts
IN looking over the statistics for
1917 is the great increase in the
production of all the metallic min
erals, as gold, silver, copper and
iron; and the production for the
first time in resent years in North
Carolina of lead and zinc.
The bulk of the gold output was,
as usual, derived from the lola mine
in Montgomery County, which in
creased its output considerably over
that of any previous year. The
silver is recovered as a by-product
IN gold milling or smelling of ores
of gold, copper and lead.
Ut the metallic minerals the
production of clay products, build
ing stones, and mica Increased enor-
mously over previous years, there
being an increase in value of S224.-
1876 in 1912 over the 1911 produc-
ton. Of the clay products there
was an increase of $194,734, and
mica, $38,770. There was also some
increase in the production of tale
pyrophyilite, and feldspar.
There was decrease in the value
OF the production of mineral waters
sand and gravel, precious stones
barytes- There was small pro-
duction of tin.
On the whole it will be seen tina
the mining and quarrying industries
OF the State are increasing rapidlv
that there was very marked in
crease in the production of all the
minerals which are found in large
commercial quantities in the State
such as gold, silver, copper tale
stone, iron. and clay products
Among the minor minerals, eraph-
ite dropped out again entirely but
there was a small production of

WHITE SOX PITCHER
LIABLE TO BIG FINE

Chicago, July 22.-Clarence Smith,
the White Sox pitcher, who ran away
from his own yard Sunday morning
and pitched the Coulon Athletics to
victory over the Matheison Colts, is
open TO fine or suspension if the ma
tional commission takes up his case.
That Smith was the mysterious "un-
known" was made a certainty yes
terday when Manager Callahan of
the Sox pulled the recruit up on the
carpet and asked him for the truth in
the matter. Smith didn't deny. pitch
ing the game, but pointed to his rec
ord against the Washington team the
same afternoon. After relieving White,
he pitched four innings without ET
or pass. The stunt worked by Smith
is common among big leaguers, espe-
cialIy in the East, where no league
games are played on Sunday 1t is
simply a case of getting caught or not
getting caught.

GEORGE REED MAY
STAY AT DECATUR
White Clad Skipper Will Linger
if Attendance Is Good
and Club Pays.

Decatur, Ill, July 22.-Will George
Reed remain in Decatur next year?
is the question that hundreds of fans
are asking every day. While no nego-
tiations have been begun by the Off
Gals of the local club with Reed for
next year, at the present time, it is
possible that Reed will resume the
managership next season, or else will
take over entire charge of the club.
That is, however, if the fans of De-
catur show their appreciation of his
services and endeavors by turning out
at the games, and supporting the
team.
Reed can not be expected to return
to Decatur, if the team is not sup
ported, as there is no doubt that he
will receive offers from a number of
other clubs and some in faster COM
Pany than Decatur. For instance, the
other day story came from Portland.
Ohio, that the street car company OF
that city had purchased the franchise
and park of the club in the Northwest
league, and that they already were
looking around for suitable manager
and that George Reed and McCloskey
were named as the possible selections.
Reed had charge of the Portland
team in 1908, and he made such a
favorable impression that he is again
being considered for the managership.
There is no question but that Reed
would like to return to Decatur pro-
vided the inducements here are suffi-
cient, and that means we'll attended
games. Decatur has a team that the
city may well boast Of In the race
that is now going on in the Three-I
circuit any team is likely to have their
slump and can not be expected to win
all of their games. Decatur has passed
that stage, and from the work of the
team in the past three games, it looks
like a straight run up the ladder
The team is too good to remain down
in the second division, and if every.
thing breaks right, they will be fight.
ing with the rest of the leaders with.

Reed has an opportunity to bring
Johnny Barkwell back to Decatur.
The former Connie third sacker has

In spite of all the dire predictions as
to Bill Germans job, Reed sees nc
chance to make change that would
improve things, especially in view OF
Saturdays thinning contest, and some
well-deserved praise for Germans

st. Louis, Mo-, July 21-Umpire
Billy Evans of the American league
staff won a tug-of-war with a man
who had been calling him names at a
game here with Washington. After
the scuffle. the umpire held a shirt
sleeve, but its owner had vanished.
Evans, who was seriously injured
here five years ago, when he was
struck by a thrown bottle, after the
game asked the noisy spectator to step
down on the field The man climbed
over the railing of the grandstand and
walked up to the umpire. who asked
him 10 come under the grandstand and
settle matters.
When the critic learned that he was
in for a fight, he called for help. Ev.
ans caught hold of his shirtsleeve and
tried to pull him into the players
coop. but instead pulled the sleeve
on. of the mans shirt.
At this stage of the affair Colonel
Hedges, president of the St. Louis
club, came along and escorted the
frightened stranger from the park.

BARS UP T 0S. LANGF0RD;
HELD FIGHTER BY BOARD

San Francisco, Cal, July 22.-Local
supervisors drew the color line for the
prize ring yesterday and refused a
Permit for a scheduled four round
bout between Sam Langford and Jess
Willard.
Tie supervisors adopted resolutions
declaring the proposed exhibition
would not be a boxing contest, as
one of the contestants had a world
wide reputation as a prize fighter.
They also called on the chief of po-
lice to prevent the fight and to re-
woke Inc license of the sporting club
if it attempted to stage the fight
This action is considered peculiar
in the light of the recent Fourth of
July 90 round fight between Willie
Richie and Mexican Joe Rivers for
the lightweight championship, which
was a genuine fight, as Rivers was
krocked out.

st. Joseph, Mo, July 22.-When the
Pittsburgh Pirates purchased Outfield-
er George Watson and Joe Kelly from
the st. Joseph Western league club,
Barney Dreyfuss snagged the two best
run-makers in the minor leagues to-
day-at least a perusal of the aver
ages for the past three seasons lead
to this conclusion
During the seasons OF 1910, 1911 and
1912 this pair CT run manufacturers
scored a total of 673 times, Watson be-
ing credited with denting the home
plate 331 times and his partner 342
times.
In addition to scoring this number
of times, this pair also drove in many
runs in each case for the three sea
sons. In fact, Watson's percentage is
.316 while Kelly's is .2S5 With bat
| ting records like these, it stands to
reason that the players were respon,
sible for many more runs than those
actually scored by themselves.
This season Watson is leading all
Western league batsmen with an av,
erage of 1898, but he has played in
only 33. games, having broken his leg
in sliding to base early in the sea.

'SQUABBLE over
forfeited GAME
Quincy Herald Gives History of
Controversy and States
It's Side.

Quincy. H., July ,22.-May II, Quin-
cy defeated Danville by the score of
1912, the game being played on the
Soldiers Home grounds, which are
in such shape that no good ball play
ing is possible. The teams go through
the performance because the home
pays the Danville club certain sum
for 10 gamesNa season. Danville pro-
tested this game, according TO press
reports, because of a ruling by Um-
pire Cusack.
The league constitution provides
that, whenever a game is protested,
formal notice of the protest shall be
given to the club which would suffer
by having the game thrown out, with
the reasons given by the protesting
club. The other club shall then with
in 10 days furnish cause why the
this cannot be done, the president
is to declare the contest no game.
No notice that a protest had been
filed on this game was ever received
by the local association. A few weeks
ago when Umpire Cusack made his
first visit to Quincy, he was asked
whether the game really had been pro-
tested. Mr.. Cusack said that the Off
cial scorer had entered a protest, but
that this had been ignored, as there
were no grounds for a protest. He
had the correspondence covering the
case in his grip as curiosity. He
also said that, if the game had been
thrown out, he as well as the local
association would have been informed,
but added that no such action would
be taken because no protest could be
made on the reasons assigned by the
Danville sport writer
Saturday afternoon somebody by the
name of Frankenberger of the Dan
vile Commercial-News called up Pres
ident G. A. Urban over the long dis
lance telephone and read to him a
telegram, which he claimed was from
President Tearney, allowing the pro-
test. Naturally Mr.. Urban refused to
deal with the party at the other end
of the wire. If such information was
true, il was 10 come from Presi-
dent Tearney and not from some one
who was not known to be identified
even with the Danville club, and siz-
ing the whole thing up as bluff, Mr..
Urban wired Manager Kahl not to
play any but the scheduled game.
Yesterday afternoon the wires
brought the news that Quincy had
won one game 1872 and that another
had been forfeited to Danville, 80.
|. While the forfeited game has been
added to the lost games in Quincy
standing, it has been done only to
keep the standing straight with the
rest in the league until the matter is
officially explained. The forfeit can
not stand because Quincy has Mr..
| Tearney's refusal to notify the mat
ter of that protest to the Quincy club
and Umpire Cusack's assurance that
the protest was igndred, as proof
that Quincy did not have a game to
be played off at Danville. With nc
game to be played off, there could
not be two games yesterday and con.
sequently no forfeit.
