the Federal Baseball League. Possibly, when the
league begins its second they will not find it

tional and American leagues require additional
description Baseball being purely commercial en-

cause it is operating independent lines and not
under agreement with the other organizations or
their set rules and regulations

Charles Montford, writing from Chi sana under date of January 14, says that nothing more is known of that section than was known last July, as it is impossible to get to bedrock on account of the ground being wet. He says that it will be necessary to use drills to determine if there are any more spots with pay outside of the two miles of shallow ground ground on Bonanza and Eldorado that is already known to have 1t.
 The letter states that there is noth- ing for people to stampede into the country for and that there has not been enough prospecting done to know whether all of the pay has been dis covered or not. At any rate he says it is too early to condemn the coun' try.

 Growlin' isn't it, Fix your peppers on success.

 Of the wheel and turn it; You can never handle gold
 Less you try and earn it. Brush the cobwebs from your eyes, Stop yer blamed repinin, An yell notice that yer skies
