In recent issues the Mining and

the last issue contains an answer to
the question from the pen of S. A..

lived in Hawthorne, now resident
of Berkeley. Mr.. Knapp gives some
interesting Nevada mining history
in his answer, which is printed here

and prospecting. Having had con-
siderable experience with the sub

which period l have slaked large

the result of my observations: Cd

mines, as all mines must 90 through
the prospecting stage. (2) That it
takes prospectors to hunt up aud

accidental discoveries have been

all that the prospector asks of the

The true prospector, living in the
mining regions, generally has some
arrangement with local people, rang

FORMER HAWTHORNE MAN
DISCUSSES PROSPEC7ORS

ada, distinguished by bold and prom
inent optcrops, have been examined
to greater or less extent. The
mineral sections of California have
beep much more closely prospected
than those of Nevada; there are how
ever, thousands of square miles in
the State of Nevada in which the
mineral resources are practically un-
known; the country has been simply
run over. The improvements in
metallurgy aud the building of rail
roads makes available ores that few
years ago we're practically vulueless,
and passed by as worthless by the
prospectors of that time; zinc and
copper ores ip Nevada, even on the
line of railroads were unmarketable
until the past few years.
In the SOS the only market we had
for copper ores was limited demand
at Dayton, for oxodized ores for the
man anufacture of bluestone for the
reduction of Comstock ores. John
Ludwig ran a small water jacket at
the old Ludwig mine and made some
copper. The Blue Light mine smet-
ed about 16, 900 tons of carbonate ore
at Sodavile and wore the copper out,
shipping it around until they sold it,

day defeated the Dover High in
ten inning game by the score of 5
to 4. Captain Green featured the
game by his great hitting. Out of
five times at bat he got three dou-
bles and single. 1t was one Of the
most exciting games of the season
and was won in the tenth on clean
hitting by Green and Mote. Chill
las and Pyott, pitched good ball
but the former was the best in the
pinches. For boys who do not have
the advantage Of a coach, the high

DELAWARE LOSES TO JOHNS
HOPKINS
After outplaying the visitors for
seven innings Geoghegan weakened
in the eighth inning against Johns
Hopkins, last Saturday, and the
Baltimore students won out in the
tenth, by the score Of 6 to 4. 1t was
the first home game for Delaware
and the first game Of baseball ever
played on Joe Frazer Field. Many
complimentary remarks about the
new field both by visitors and the
Johns Hopkins players, were heard.
Johns Hopkins had the advan-
tage OF having been playing for
several weeks this season while
Delaware has had little practice and
played but one game previous to
Saturday. 1t is the uncertainty Of
baseball that makes it so popular
and that was never more clearly
demonstrated than in this game.
Delaware looked a sure winner
until the fatal eighth inning. All
during the game the locals had
outplayed the visitors and Geog-
hogan was pitching the article of
ball that will win most any game if
he keeps it up for nine innings. In
this case, however, the lanky south
paw weakened in the eighth and
Hopkins tied the score winning out
in the tenth Even with Geoghegan
weakening Delaware should have
won in nine innings. Elmer Hoch
threw away an opportunity to score
in the early innings when he failed
to watch the ball and consequently
got but third on a bad throw to
first when he could have reached
third just as easily. He could have
scored from third on the next play
and that extra run would have won
the game. AS it was he was left
{. second.

BILLBOARD AS A NUISANCE
Unnecessary and Unsghtly, There ls
Absolutely No Reason for Its
Existence.

There is evidence that the move
ment against the billboard nuisance
is becoming national There is evil
dence that it is accomplishing things.
in spite of local reverses inflicted by
unprogressive judges too ready with
injunctions or of slothful and incompe-
tent officials.
1t is stated that in New York state
nearly 100000 signs illegally posted
on the highways have been torn down.
Hundreds of business men have form
ally pledged themselves to discourage
the illegal billboard nuisance.
But what of the legal billboard nui-
sance? Sooner or later the statutes
and ordinances against the former
nuisance will be vitalized by public
sentiment But it is supposed TO be
all but impossible to regulate bill
boards placed on private property.
Are citizens interested in civic prog
ress to admit defeat in this direction?
By no means.
France. it appears has abated the
billboard nuisance along the principal
lines of travel by means of a high tax.
"The right to tax" we know, SIS the
right to destroy" Cannot ugly, often
sive and depressing billboards be
taxed out of existence? The plan is
being advocated in New York by a
commission that has just reported on
the subject, as well as by citizens and
newspapers, and it is worthy of at
tention elsewhere.-New York Sun.
