 Losing, 13 to 4.

Little Rock, June 1S.-By the score of 13 to i the Electrics, leaders of the City league, defeated the Electrics tailenders of the Pine Bluff City league, this afternoon at West End park before a large crowd of fans.
 The fans turned out in large num- bers expecting to witness one of the Warmest contests of the present base ball season, but the local Electrics showed too much light and "lit' all over the light EleStrics of Pine Bluff from the beginning of the game.
 The game was interspersed by many brilliant plays on both sides. The fielding Of the visiting boys was not the best seen on the local diamond while the pitching of Curtis Mullin for the Pine Bluffians was fairly good Whitehorn, the peerless pitcher of the locals, showed his usual good form, and at all times had his oppon- ents in the palm of his hand.
 The feature of the game was the heavy hitting of Morris Farrell of Far rell, centerfielder for the locals, who with three men on bases, hit for foul bags, over rightfield fence. This was the longest hit of the season.
 The batteries for the two teams were: Little Rock Electrics, White horn and Bacon; Pine Bluff Electrics Aullin and Graves,

The National Copper Mining COM
pany has called a meeting Of its stock
holders for August 22, to ratify or re-
iect a decision of the directors to in
crease the capitalization of the COM
pany from $2,OOO,O0O to $2,500000. The
proposed increase is for the purpose
of providing funds or stock for the
purchase of the Nellie claim, on Whlcf
the bulk of the present National ore
body has been developed, and which
is owned by individuals, most of Whom
are stockholders in the National com
pany. Reports have been in circula-
ton that the National mill was closed
some time ago because of lack OF orc
to feed the mill. This was not the
case. The National mine has plenty
of ore developed and ready for stop
ing to last the mill an indefinite per-
iod, but the trouble has been that most
of the slopes opened have been on the
Nellie claim, which did not belong to
the National company, but to indi-
yidual stockholders, who purchased
their interests in the claim before the
ore body was found in the National
lower tunnel. The National company
had verbal agreement with some OF
the owners regarding deal for the
property with the result that develop
ment work was completed and milling
operations started. but when 1t came
to signing an agreement for the
ground one of the owners who con-
trolls a one fourth interest, refused to
agree to the terms offered, but agreed
to allow the company to develop the
ground in question, and pay for 1t ac-
cording to the ore values found there
in, before any milling operations were
attempted This has been the sorE
in progress since the mill was closed
several months ago, and deal for the
property seems to be now definitely
arranged upon and it Is very likely
that the mill will resume operations as
soon as this important piece of bust
ness is concluded. There is no doubt
but that the National has great orc

, The Federal company this week
in the development of the ore zone
between Mullan and Mace by finish
ing the raise from the No. 5 level Of
the Morning mine to the Star mine,
which was recently taken under bond
by the Federal from the Finch 4
Campbell interests The Federal COM
pany has been developing the Star for
some time with crew Of 20 or 80
men drifting from the west end Nor
ming mine workings on No & level.
Nothing of Importance was found in
the drift and as a last resort, the
company determined to connect with
the old Star workings, with the result
.that the ere shoot developed in the
top OF the raise where 1t shows a. width
Of about II feet of good milling ore.
The raise Is about 435 feet from the
Morning to the Star workings. Where
encountered, the ore shoot shows
rake away from the drift development
on No. s level. and IT will be some
time before the ore Is found on that
level. The present development is i'm
portant, as it means almost the cer-
tain purchase Of the Star group by the
Federal under the option. and increas-
ed life for the Morning mine BY the
addition Of the Star group the Morning
mine will become one of the greatest
leadsiver properties In the entire
Coeur d'Alene district with practically
an unlimited ore reserve to draw upon.
The successful development of the
Star also means that more persistent
efforts will be made to develop the belt
further west to the Frisco mine. all
Of which chain Of ground, with the
single exception Of the Ivanhoe ground,
the Federal company holds under op-
tion. These claims are considered by
| mining men to be one Of the most val
liable pieces Of mining property in the
district.

SILVER CABLE MINE
NINE DAYS WONDER
COMPANY OPERATING EAST OF
MuLLAN PROVES RICH ORE
BODY At DEPTH.

The Silver Gable property, east Of
MILAN, is proving to be a nine days
wonder. Every foot of development
work east and west on the vein is
showing more ore, and the vein is
holding its II feet average width re-
markably well. The present develop
ment on the ore shoot is in the inter-
mediate tunnel, and a peculiar thing
about the matter is that this tunnel
was driven into the vein in a barren
spot, where no ore was developed and
small encouragement given for further
development. In fact the work was
abandoned at this point after some
drifting had been done to the east. 1t
now develops that this east drifting
was not on the vein, but a short dis
tance north of it. A few feet either
way from where the main tunnel cut
the ledge it shows good ore IL feet
wide, and so far as the work has pro-
gressed there is full face of CONNER
cial ore in both the east and west
drifts. The next move to be made by
the company after exploring the length
of the ore in the intermediate tunnel
will be to locate the vein in the lower
tunnel. The men behind the financial
end of the company are at present all
Mullan people, prominent among whom
are James A. Bean, Jonn Mocine, man
ager of the National mine, and DR.. D.
E. Keys. The office Of the company
is in Missoula, with James Corbett as
the principal promoter. The major
ity of the stock is held in Missoula.
The mine is located just at.v-7 the
Idaho line in the new county Or Min
eral, just created, and milling opera
tions will no doubt be conducted on
the st. Regis river near the mouth Of
Randolph creek, where the main coun-
ty wagon road connects with the Nor
thern Pacific railway.

DAYS BUY ANOTHER
RANCH At OSBORNE
STEVENS RANCH SOLD TO MRS
BOYcE FOR $1700c-MAY BE
SITE FOR A MILL.

The Day interests have purchased
the Stevens ranch at Osburn. Three
deeds were filed this week with the
county recorder from Mary Stevens to
Eleanor Day Boyce, a sister Of Harry,
Eugene and Jerome Day, transferring
all Of the Stevens property at Osburn.
The first deed is in return for $4,000,
and the other two deeds are for 81
each. The purchase Of this property
completes the buying of the Osburn
valley by the Day interests, they hav-
ing purchased several months ago the
Osburn ranch and property. Just
what they intend to do with it is a
question which they have not ex-
planned to the public, and which is
none Of the public's business, but the
public would like to know just the
same, as matter of news. Some
well informed parties think the Days
have acquired this property as a mill
site for a plant to be erected for the
Tamarack & Chesapeak mine. That it
is a favorable site for a milling plant
goes without question. 1t is also a
favorable site for a smelter or any
other kind of reduction plant for the
Coeur d'Alene ores. 1t is a valuable
piece of property any way you take it.
and the Days are wise in securing this
garden spot Of the Coeur d'Alenes.

ALAMEDA FILES SUIT
AGAINST SUCCESS
COMPANY CLAIMS THAT SUCCESS
HAS MINED ORE FROM ALA
MEDIA GROUND.

The Alameda Mining company own
ing property adjoining the Success
mine. has started suit in the district
court against the Success company to
recover damages for ore alleged to
have been extracted from the Ala
media ground. The complaint in the
suit states that $1,000 cubic feet
of ore have been removed from Ala
media ground by the Success, amount
ing to 5000 or 5000 tons. The value of
this amount of ore is estimated at
over $4,000.
In a circular letter to the stock
holders the company states: "Since the
last assessment was levied on the Goth
Of September, 1913, and for some time
prior thereto, the work of development
upon the company's property has not
been very vigorously prosecuted, un-
der conditions which existed it being
advisable to pursue a conservative
course. The directors of the company
think the wisdom of this course will
be indicated. A survey was recently
made by this company, from which it
appears that the Success Mining COM
pany, whose claims adjoin, have cross
ed the line between the two properties
extended vertically and extracted ore.
After every effort within the lines Of
reason on the part Of your directorate
to effect a reasonable settlement hav-
ing failed, there was left no course to
pursue but to start suit to enforce an
accounting and settlement According
ly suit was filed August !. These eX-
penses, together with the desirability
of continuing development work have
made 1t necessary to raise the funds
required by assessment. 1t is believed
by the directorate that the outlook for
the future of the Alameda is very en-
couraging,"
The Alameda is a stock company
with a large number Of heavy stock
holders in Butte, Mont The property
was first promoted by Paris Fl. Rem

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
ON SUNSET PEAK
ST. JAMES REPORTED TO HAVE
BIG ORE VEiN-OPERATED
BY A WOMAN.


The st. James property, adjoining
Senator Clarks mine on Sunset peak,
is reported to have opened a vein OF
ore fully feet wide on one OF the
lower levels, and about half Of the ma
terial is said to be high grade. The
property is owned and operated by a
woman, Mrs. Theresa James, VINO is
in active management of the mine,
and who has raised the funds for the
work. The full extent OF
the present strike will not be known
for some time, as the development
work is necessarily slow, but miners
working at the property say 1t has
every appearance Of being an exten-
sive body Of ore. 1t Is similar in char
acter to the ore found in the Clark
property.
