Zinc Ore Gains.

Zinc ore gained in value during the
week the top grades clearing $l05 per
ton while 60 per cent values held on
range of 800 to $l05 ton. 55 per cent
$85 to $95; 50 per cent $40 to $72; as per-
cent S45 10 $50; 40 per cent $40 to $45;
The figures are reliable as given out by
one Of the largest selling firms in the
field and show that lower grades are
being included in sales the demand for
ore being constant and strong. Pro-
duction under the spur of prices that
simply spell wealth to the man who has
lack to sell was stimulated at all quart
ters Of the field and shipments included
everything that the miner had to offer.

Basketball At Delaware

Candidates for Delaware's Bas-
ketball team have been out for
hard practice every afternoon this
week. The season opens on Jan
uary 13 when Temple University
five of Philadelphia will play in the
local gymnasium. The indications
are that the team will be the fastest
that has represented the blue and
gold for some years.
All of last years varsity five
are out for the team again but there
are also several freshmen who will
make a try for the first team. Of
these Donald Horsey, who had
much experience on the Organized
Militia team at Dover before enter
ing Delaware last September,
stands the best chance of getting a
place. Horsey is handicapped some
what by his size as he weighs but
about 130. He proved in the class
game, however, that he is an excep-
tionally good cage man and he will
no doubt get a chance in some Of
the games.
Lacklen and Wiener of the 1914
team will probably look after the
forward positions again with Wills
at center and Captain Cam and
Dougherty playing guard. This
makes a strong combination and
the fact that they played together
all of last season should help great
ly with the team work.
This afternoon the freshmen
and Juniors will play for the col
lege championship, each of them
having won their class game.
