maay. I've got one in my own list,
young outfielder named High, from
the Connecticut League. Colonel
Hedges says he has offered the young
catcher all that baseball rules allow,
his minor league scale plus . per cent.
/ suppose a good many players are
ignorant of this quirk in baseball rules.
When youngster is drafted now, his
contract must offer him his old salary
in the minors and y per cent more.
This endures for forty-five days. Then
the manager has TO make a new finan-
clal arrangement with him. Perhaps
young Agnew, who seems by his record
to be quite a promising player will
think better of this before long and
determine to make good in the big
league before getting the big money.
The Browns need some good catchers.
Young Alexander looked good last sea-
son, but he is still inexperienced in the
big show. He needs a lot OF work be-
fore rounding into his real FORM
though he is very promising Agnew
Is expected to make a regular berth
for himself with the Browns He hit
for .2S2 IN the Pacific Coast League last
year and fielded for so in 100 games.
Has Great Arm.
Jim Thorpe. who has signed with the
Giants, ought to be a great thrower.
A man can't hurl javelin as far as
muscles. Indeed. they tell a story
about him over In Stock holm last sum-
mer. You may remember that one Sun
day the American athletes played a
baseball game. Thorpe was in that
game, playing one Of the outfieId posi-
tions
The great Indian athlete had been
jumping around. tossing the shot and
sprinting before the game. but when
they lined up he was ready. Finally
some one knocked the ball far over
Thorpe's head. He set sail under it,
though, raced to deep center and then
threw like a rife shot to the plate.
1t wasn't any relay throw. either, but
a rainbow like the Cubans use.
With the proper coaching he will get
under McGraw II lad with the athletic
abilities Of Thorpe ought TO make good
in some line. ! don't suppose he took
baseball very seriously in the bush
league he was in down in Carolina. But
he'll have TO take II seriously enough
TO stay with the Giants. That's Nc
Graw's long suit and, II anybody can
make good player out Of Thorpe,
McGraw can.

capping over the stope averaged 250 to 300 ft in thickness, so it would be well within reasonable calculation to ap- proximate the amount of fallen rock at between two to three million tons. The sudden fall of this rock was the cause of the air blast It had the same prin- ciple as an enormous compressor fore ing the air through the drifts with ter rife velocity. any moving object being entirely unable to stand against it's way. At the time of the blast a train of 15 cars and a seven-ton motor was blown 200 feet along the track, des- bite the best efforts of the motorman to check it. Some of the men that were injured were blown over 40 feet. And it really speaks we'll for the meth cd of mining that no men were hurt or killed by the cave itself.

We occasionally have to refer to our friends the Guggenheims, and in fact a prospect wouldn't be worth much to- day unless the Guggenheims Were aft CT it. However, their attention at present is being paid to a big thing a long way off in South America. They not only own the Braden Copper Co.,, in Chile, but they have acquired an interest in a property which it is claimed contains 10O,0O0,000 tons of ore averaging from 1A to 2 per cent copper per ton. "Chuquicamata'' is the name of the new $110,000, 900 cof- poration which will take over from the Chile Exploration Co. the property in question. Of the s110,000,000 capi- talization, $15,000,O0O will be held in the treasury to provide for bond con- version; the remaining S95 900 900 will be retained by the Guggenheims. By the teaching process it is understood the owners expect to secure a 90-per cent extraction. Plans for the plant are said to call for an expenditure of s7,000,000. Already some $2,500,000 has been spent on the property.

 The Hayden smelter is now being operated at full capacity, with a daily output of 100000 pounds of blister | copper. A large quantity of concen trates are being diverted to Havden from Ell Paso, on account of the strike at the latter smelter.

On the question of cave-inS 1 have not noticed in the press any reference to the cave-in that happened at Je- rome within the last month and which
 was related to me by an witness. He informed me that he was sitting on
 the platform at the depot, when sud- denly and without the slightest war
 ing, three loaded cars of ore suddenly dropped out of sight. They were ab
 solutely swallowed up, and all that re-
 maina was a gaping hole. As the
 gentleman so expressly put it, it made
 him have a queer. hollow feeling. l
 can remember when I was a boy of
 seeing a whole village fall and sink
 into the ground over a worked out iron
 mine. In this case they had actually
 drawn the pillars, as they backed out
 of the mine, leaving nothing to sus-
 tain the roof. This was surely expect
 ing too much of providence.
 Engineers Gibbons and Colchester
 have just completed an examination of
 the old Mammoth mine on the San
 Pedro. The old mine was closed down
 eight or nine years ago, but the tail-
 ings have since been cyanided, and also concentrated for their vanadium contents The property has been fre- quently examined of late by interests that have been anxious for gold and others for the vanadium values, but not any of these negotiations have been brought to frution.

 Mexican Mining Taxes We have spoken the last three weeks regarding the payment of taxes | in Mexico. Now assurance has beer given through the border consular agents that the government at Wash 1 ington will sustain the payment of fed | eraI taxes to the de facto insurgen1 state government, which recently de manded advance payment of both state and federal taxes. It was advised 1 however, to make the payments undel a written protest. This seems rather ridiculous. Why not lodge the protes and leave the payments to be mad, later on.
