ARE NOT ROTTING, DECLARE
 NUTMEG EXPERTS

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 2o-AIarm has been felt in some quarters over the fact that apples seem to be rotting a little more than usual and some are under the inpr ession that as a result the apple prices will soon be prohibi- tive. Connecticut apple growers who are authority on the subject agree there is no cause for this alarm
 Edijah Rogers of Southington said that the Connecticut apple crop this year is the largest in six years He said the apples were rotting badly and he did not anticipate that the price would advance materially. Of course the price is high now he said, .'bus in fact. there was a little railing off in the price during the past week. Ap- pies are now bringing from $2 50 to $4 a barrel and the very best $5 do not think they will go much higher and Connecticut will have all the apples ii wants
 J. H. Hale of Glastonbury also spoke in an optimistic manner of the apple conditions. Some people may think from the condition of their private crops" he said, that the apple rot is doing a good deal of damage, but I dc not believe any of the people with commercial crops are worried by ap- pies rotting any more than usaas There was a spell of weather in OctC' Der when the apples rotted considera- bly,, but good apples are standing stor-
 age well.
 ttOf course the apple crop this year was light, although Connecticut got | really more apples than its share Tn other words the Connecticut croI turned out better than in many sec lions. It is estimated that the coun- try'e total crop this year was g, GOO y0Ot i barrels compared to 1 crop of about l 50, ,OO0, GOO barrels raised last year. Good No. 1 apples have been selling for g. and 450 barrel and do not look fol a, much higher price

AMATEUR FooTBaLL.

Having heard that the LincoIns and Oaklands are to play for the 140 pound championship Thanksgiving day, there are a few words I would like to say as to where the Lincolns ever got a right to play for the hon ors, and where the Oaklands got the right to call themselves champions. There is no doubt that the Oaklands won the 105-11O pound championshi ? last season, but I fail to see where they can call themselves the 140 pound champs this year. When they replied: We grew" Look over this years team and see how many of last years men remain on the team. l counted three, all the rest are new men. And coming back to the Lin coins, they haven't tried to book a game in five weeks. They beat poor old Seymour 7-6 and were defeated by the Humphreys 32-O. and if that entitled a team to play for the cham pionship, I miss my guess. The Annex team were defeated by the Humphreys, but we scored nine points on them, nine more than the Lin coins and three more than the Oak lands, also the Annex team is the only team in the city to play an other local team in their class, hav- ing defeated the fast Rose buds 10-0 And now Manager Davis, the Annex team wants to play you snext Sunday and show the sporting public. o1 Bridgeport who is entitled to play fol the championship. I will accept any terms you care to make and will play anywhere you say. And now, Man ager Davis, sit up and take notice ana accept this challenge and show wheth | CT you are entitled to play, for tht championship or not. And if Man l ager Davis thinks the Annex are toc T1<,1, hi f@7r I open to Manager Dillon of the Oak lands Thanking you for the spac, 1 in your valuable paper, I remain your | in sport.

THE kANsAs.svRRouaAs.

During the past week the water in
the Kansas Phoenix -Ophir Burroughs
mines on Quartz hill receded but sew
en- feet, the prior week maintaining
the record Of 16 feet, which has been
the average since the drill hole broke
through into the old workings. Sew
eral reasons may be assigned for the
falling off, possibly the open work
ings may be larger at the present
depth. The water standing at this
time some 500 feet above the sump
in the Phoenix. Then again the drill
hole may have become clogged or the
reduced pressure may account for
the decrease in the depth of water
flowing from these properties during
the past week. Robert Sayre Is ex-
pected to return from his eastern
trip in very few days and will at
once start work to rehabilitate and
place in working order at least two
shafts on the property controlled by
himself and his associates. The un-
watering of these mines, which is
gigantic task, will mean new era OF
prosperity for the county and Mr..
Sayre is entitled to all credit in the
undertaking.

VISIT THE MINES.

X. w. Renton and wife of Boston,
Mass, are guests of Engineer Forbes
Rickard, having stopped over here on
their honeymoon trip on their way
from the Pacific coast. Mr.. Renton
is one of the owners of the Chase
mine. He was impressed with the
property-and the camp in general.
While here he visited the Belcher
mine to see the new Butterfly valve
drill which has recently been placed
on the market by the Ingersoll Co.
He also saw the Waugh's and water
Leyner's In operation on the same
property. While the Chase is equip
ped with compressor and drills, 1t
wRs the desire of the gentleman to
compare the efficiency Of the sew
eral makes of drills as to their work
ing capacity. He had heard of the
noted War Dance mine and its repu-
tation for very high grade ore, and
expressed desire to visit same, but
was disappointed when he learned

down on account of disputes between
the owners and lessees. His disap-
pointment is in line with others who,
on account of reports Of big strikes,
divert from the regular line of travel
to see something and then are unable
to have their desires gratified. not
because the grade and quality OF ore
is not in evidence, but because some
thing has occurred to retard the work
ing Of the property. Engineer Rick
ard arranged with Manager Schirmer
Of the Newhouse tunnel SO that Mr..
and Mrs. Renton could visit the tun-
mel and see and realize that mining
on the Chase and other properties
could be profitably carried on at
great depth. In regard to the Chase
mine the tunnel level is at vertical
depth OF 1400 feet below the collar Of
the shaft. while the depth on the
slope OF the vein Is some 1900 feet.

THE GERMAN MINE.

At the German mine on Quartz hill
Joy reigns as the raise to connect
with the Belcher workings has been
made, thus affording the necessary
ventilation for the proper and econ
omical working of the mine. This
raise was made at the 130-foot level
and is for the purpose of obtaining
circulation of air, as the old work-
ings were "gassy," to the detriment
of the miners who worked in same.
A piston drifter together with two
stopers are in active use at the pres
ent time, Another STOPPER will be
placed in commission in few days,
which will add materially to the ton
mage production. The diamond drill
machine formerly operated under the
direction Of Robert Sayre in the Kan
sas-Burroughs lateral of the New
house tunnel has been placed on the
German property as an experiment
to exploit the ground at great depth
The core drill will be in charge of NJ
Ahern who will drill on both the hang
ing and foot walls Of the German
vein which, in strike and dip. is ap
parently uniform. with the purpose Of
encountering lenzes Of pitch-blendt
ore for which this mine is famous
The diamond drill operations will be
confined to tie west end Of the Ger

BILL TO OPERATE
STATE OWNED SHELTER.

rules"
1t has been introduced in the Sen
ate and house by Senator Carver and
Representative Smith of Jefferson

as possible, construct or purchase or
acquire by condemnation or otherwise
at least one smelter and one suga-
factory, one or more flour and feed
mills. one or more canning factories,
one or more abattoirs, and such
other mills and factories as in its

of the state. The smelter should be
located as near to the State School
Of Mines, and the sugar factories as
as near as may be practible, to the
Agricultural College. All said plants
to be located in the state of Colorado.
The commission may add to the
smelling plant other means for the
reduction of ores, and make such
improvements in all of said plants
as may make them more efficient and
enable them to utilize the side pro
ducts.
"The commission shall employ, fix
the compensation of, and discharge
at it's pleasure, all such labor as may
be necessary in the operation of the
hours shall constitute a days work.

or industries acquired or established
by it; said rates shall be such as to
cover all costs and expenses of op-
Grafton and maintenance with fair
compensation and profit to the state
for services rendered, and so as to
give the producer as large a part OF
the value of his product as possible.
The mining men of the county and
state must get busy and inform them
selves as to the merits of the bill
Should they have any suggestions OF
amendments to offer, they should
communicate with theit Legislative
representatives at once.
