said Andy. "Other pitchers with no

HAVING four crack infielders standing

ANDY then told little story to i
"A lustrate favorite trick of Ed
Walsh's; one by which he has nipped
many an enterprising runner off the

Are the fighters all over the country
lodging Eddie Hanlon, the local welter-
weight? This is the question Billy
Lott, Eddie's manager, would like to
have answered Billy has been busy
wiring to promo ters for the past few
days, but 1t seems that the local LAD
can not get on anywhere.
Lott had hopes Of matching Hanlon
with Eddie Meter at Cincinnati, but IL
seems as If Meter doesn't care for any
of Eddies game. MetZer is the boy
who recently bested Wildcat Ferns
and Hanon is particularly anxious TO
get on with the Cincinnati wonder.
Terry Nelson. the Greek lightweight,
arrived in Atlanta yesterday afternoon
ready and eager to take on the boys Of
his weight around here, Terry says he
defeated Patsy Keller in Jacksonville
the other night In 20 rounds and now
wants to show local fans what he can
do with the boys around these parts
1t is more than likely that Terry will
box Jack Mcmahon, the tough Kansas
city boy, at the Columbia Theater
"Wednesday night Both boys have been
offered terms for the bout and the match
will probably be closed within the next
couple OF days
Mcmahon stopped Eddie Collins in
four rounds Wednesday night and
should give Nelson a tough scrap. He
has piled up three knockouts in the last
eight days and is willing 20 take on any
of them near his weight.
y. J. Tortorich. the New orleans pro-
moter, is busy party pulling off his
bantamweght elimination tourney to de-
eide a suitable opponent for Johnny
Coulon next month, Tortorich has his
line out for Jimmy Grant. the popular
little bantamweight, to meet Kid Her

WHEN President Galloway, OF
wv the Crackers, took Ambrose
Mcconnell off a little to one
side, patted him firmly on the near
shoulder, and said, "Amby, old boy,
you've got to play anchor for a young
infeld this year." Andy Gold boyp
spoke as follows;

From which 1t may be gathered
that Andy is not long on the loquaci-
ty game.
He doesn't talk a great deal" said
to the point"
co Andy Mcconnell, veteran Red

year international Lacquer, accepted
the responsibility of keeping a bright

CONTACT PUSHING
WORK DESPITE SNOW
Some High-grade Copper Ore
Being Shipped to Roger
son, Idaho.

Notwithstanding the fact that nclem-
ent weather has had the isolated camp
OF Contact in its grasp for months, yet
the nervy miners OF that potentially
strong Nevada district continue TO push
development work and promise some I'M
portant disclosures for the year 1914.
Relative to present activities. the Contact
Copper company shipped q car or high
grade ore two weeks ago and has another
car almost ready for shipment w, a.
Soutbard's freight outfit has been draw
ing the ore to RogerSon where IL Is
loaded and consigned to the Salt Lake
valley smelters. This company has
shipped ten cars OF ore the past year tina
averaged 20 per cent in copper, with
some silver and gold values. All Of the
ore is sorted on account of the expensive
wagon haul. In the mining OF the high
grade ore much low-grade oro-so- called
or ore running from 10 10 per cent.
Is either left in the vein or piled up on
the dump for future trea tment. This
company sank a winze to the depth OF
tlity feet encounterns fine showing OF
oxide ore, which it is the intention of
the company TO develop in a short time
by means OF q crosscut tunnel.
The Antelope Mining company. Of
which l.. 5. Pratt is local representative,
owns and controls the Antelope claim,
near town.
This property was until recently devel-
oped principally by a l00-foot drift and
three shafts, each approximately forty
ieet in DEPTH all sunk OH vein material
and all showing up ore of commercial
value. The drift is driven on what ap-
pears TO be the middle dixie Of the three
major dikes crossing the property and
was started originally on narrow vein
OF black oxide of copper or tenorite ore
and continued for a distance Of approXi-
mateiy 100 feet on this character OF ore.
The quartz portion Of the vein, some
times attains n width OF three feet, while
at no time was either wall Of the dixie
or vein proper exposed Nearly car
load OF hiEh-erade ore was taken from
this drift during development work and
shipped 10 a Utah smelter. This orc re-
turned the company n high price.
Last week the tunnel encountered
stringer Of quartz lying to the southea st
on the ground which is undoubtedly the
forerunner OF the first flssure crossing
the property and ii is expected to break
into this dixie any time A depth or about
ninety feet has been attained In the

WHY PROSPECTING HAS
LOST ATTRACTIONS

The prospector is not making new dis
coveTics in old districts and few new dis
coverles In new territory because lie
thinks it is folly to open up a new pros
pect until an old one is sold. He sees
properties with 1000 feet or more Of use
ful development, making what he consid-
crs a good showing and warranting Wig
orous continued development so year att
er year without opportunity to make Il
sale, says a writer In the Engineering q
Mining Journal. He observes that the
owners, because OF poverty or discour-
agement. resort whenever possible to a
lease and bond to men without capital
or other assets, in order TO avoid eX-
pend;ture for annual assessment work
These lessees in order to make beans and
bacon "pick the eyes out OF the mine TO
make shipping ore. which upon the ter
mination Of the bond leaves 1t less salable
than at first. The prospcctor is, be-
cause OF these dscourasements, losing
faith in man though not in nature. His
faith IN nature is steadfast and enduring.
but he has been taught by experience that
under present conditions there Is an over
production of well-developed prospects
near mines'-and until n bona fide sale
occurs now and then he will only half
heartedly work his claims and Will make
but fitful efforts to find new ones,
II is manlfestly absurd for any one man
TO decide from personal observation that
there is an exhaustion OF the easily dis
coverab bic ore bodies In the western states
1t would take him more than twenty nine
years to visit the 1880 mining districts of
the thirteen states, devoting- only a week

II. S. Steel Mining Company.

Probably few people realize today that
The United States Steel corporation Is
prirna rily n mining company, lts mann
assets being It's holdings OF taVoraoiy
situated iron ore and coking coal lands.
The same thing applies TO the larger
copper mining companies. and to many
OF the gold properties, such, FOR example
as those on The Rand, or In southern
Alaska.
In modern mining the first and prl-
mary deslderatuUn IS TO get large oody
of ore The question OF grade and the
cost OF wording it determines Its ultl,
mate value AS | have frequently pointed
out. Ghere are really only two primary
sources OF wealth in the world, mining
and agriculture. and mining is just as
Important as agriculture. While the same
methods of analysis may be applied IN
determining the value OF n mining COM
psny as arriving at the value OF rail-
road still there Is one factor in mining
which gives an added value, and that is.
the continued chance Of finding either
new or richer ore upon a property wmcn
is being exploited This chance Is one
which induces the shrewd investor 10 20
i'm for mining. Care should be taken,
however. by the investor TO discriminate
between The searching for and developing
Of new properties. and the exploita ton OF
those which have been found and are
already worked or about TO be worked.

VERY HIGH GRADE

All previous finds of high-grad CHINA

For some time past they have been car

the sinking OF a shaft TO prove the de-
posits at depth. The ledge was cut in

was no question 1t is undoubtedly the
richest clnnabar rock ever discovered
q portion OF the ledge giving values Of so
and 90 per cent In mercury content This
may seem to many like an exaggerat ton,
but every statement can be verified by
samples or a visit to the property. Be-
sides this, the shaft cut a vein of qua ritz
along this that returns values of 81 in
gold and seventeen ounces In silver The
operations have been greatly hampcred
by the deep snow and recent bad wealth

LOW-GRADE COPPER
EARNINGS SURPRISING

An analysis OF the last quarterly re-
port OF the Utah Copper company devel-
ops the interesting point that from O.,
Ii3.0S tons OF rock treated. which aver
aged l21s5 per cent copper, net earnings
of $l,419,1S7 were derived, says the Bos-
ton News Letter
This Is rather an interesting fact. for
we venture the opinion that anyone, more
or less familiar with Utah Copper opera
tions. would have said offhand that the
Utah company derived n profit of at least
$3.50 per ton on its ore. or course the
low tenor OF the rock treated the past
quarter was largely responsible for this,
but il is interesting to note the ability
OF the Utah Copper company to develop
such large net earnings when IL gets but
40 cents per ton profit out OF the mining
transportation and milling of ton OF
rock This should likewise prove Of con-
siderable interest 10 stockholders OF the
