gestions as to routes. The one class
may be visiting the Pyrenees primari-
ly for reasons of health, for there are
something like two hundred and fifty
springs between east and west, and
the thermal resorts are many and va
rious in consequence; the other class
comes for touring pure and simple.
If a car owner is undergoing a

motoring may be convenient without
proceeding very far from his base.
From Luchon he will, of course, run
out to the Vallee du Lys, an excur-
sion which should be taken in the aft
ernoon, as there is no sun In the val

good climber, it should certainly be
headed also for the Hospice de
France; but the pull is a stiff one of
six kilometers from the Junction
with the Vallee du Lys road, and has
a good deal of II per cent. gradient.
There is no gainsaying, however, the
charm of the scenery when the sum-
init is attained, while the available
excursions on horseback or afoot are
many and highly interesting.
The run from Quillan to Axat, it
may be mentioned, passes through the
most famous of the many fine gorges
of the Pyrenees, namely, that Of

Upon Colorado Springs authority it
is said that every mine owner of
prominence has now declared In favor
Of Immediately building a new drain
age tunnel which will drain the dis
trict at point 500 feet below the
level of the present bore.
A rich strike of gold ore has been
made by lessees on the Bay City
group in the La Plata mountains near
Durango. The ore is filled with free
gold and it is believed that it will jet
fully $1,000 per sack or over $4,000
per ton. The ore is being mined from
an open cut and the foot has not yet
been encountered. The snow IS off
on the lower hills and is rapidly melt
ing in the upper ranges.
Mining in Colorado, especially in
the Cripple Creek district, received a
big impetus through the announce

effect the merger of the Ell Paso Con-
solidated Gold Mining Company and
the Golden Cycle mining properties.
The strike made at the Donaldson
mine on Donaldson mountain, near
Idaho Springs, is one of the best ever
made in that part of the state. The
ore runs $4,000 to the ton. An
assayer, in a test just COM
pleted found 1,67O ounces of gold
and 699 ounces of silver to the ton.
The streak is five inches wide and
solid. 1t IS covered with coarse gold
and much silver. John Larsen, the
lessee, is having the ore carefully
sacked.
Since the big gold strike at Jasper,
thirty-two miles from Monte Vista.
was made few days ago, there has
been great influx of miners and
prospectors into the section. Two
groceries, bakery, a boarding house,
a restaurant and two saloons have
been erected, and 1t is believed sub

wagon trains, automobiles and other
vehicles are carrying men, tools, i'm

mated that at least five hundred men

OLD HARBOR PLAYER

From the office of Ban Johnson.
president of the American league
it was learned yesterday that the
White Sox have signed sensa-
tfonaI college pitcher The young
hurler is William Lathrop, VINO mas
shown exceptional speed In siao-
bling for the Notre Dame nine New
York, Philadelphia. and CINCINNATI
have had scouts after the collegian
and a few days ago McGraW an
nounced he had signed him. ihis
was denied later and the report foi-
lowed that he had signed a contract
sent to him by Comiskey. Inc
vounsster will report when scnocl
closes.
The foregoing is quoted from TINS
mornings Chicago Tribune and refers
to Indiana Harbors pitcher OF last
year who played under the name or
Marceaux.
His work is well known to Indiana
Harbor fans and to fans throughout
northern Indiana in fact owing to his
connection with the Northern indiana
League of which the Harbor team was
a member last year. Lathrop, or Mar
ceaux as he was known, pitched sensa-
ticnal ball all through the season. In
MS EFSt three sdIIltS Ii sAiS AS"SNNf -
struck ou. forty men, allowed IL hits
and but three runs Some of the teams
got to him once in while during the
season and hit him rather hard. but as
a general proposition he was almost
throughout the year.
Together with his phenomenal pitch
ing. Marceeux is a hard hitter and
there was scarcely a game that he
PLAYED in, in which he fainled to make
either a three base hit o ra home run.
Lathrop will be a strong drawing
card for the Sox from Lake county
whenever he pitches and 1t is likely
the fans in this region Will keep tap
on his dates. where 1t is possible TO
obtain them. Lathrop is now twenty
years old. a mere kid His youth is
the only thing that can operate against
him and on account of this fact the
local fans, while not doubling his
ability, are questioning whether he is
sufficiently hard headed to escape
stage fright. If he does not fall
victim to this, there seems no doubt
that before the season closes, he will
| have attained a stellar position In
major league circles
| Acquaintance with Lathrop was re-
vived hereabouts a week ago last Sun
iday, when he came from South Bend
expressly for the purpose OF playing
with Indiana Harbor against the Gary
| " crks team. This game was played
