A vEf''s OPINION.

A veteran tall player and a life long student of the game recently said: T am convinced that the big clubs are making mistake in carrying such large twirling staffs, Tn the old days when the teams got along with three pitchers and 8 reserve man on the bench, the con tests were better and faster than they are now. Last season Stallings demon strated that trio of twirlers can be used successfully if worked in rotation Anson did the trick years ago when he alternated Cor coran and Goldsmith each succeed ing day, and Comiskey made good when he handled the St. Louis Browns and worked only Foutz Hudson and Caruthers. Also recol- lect what the New York club ac complished when they used practi- cally no one but Keefe and Welch
 Baldwin and Getzein were Detroit s winning pair. and when Anson had the Colts his staff consisted of Cal lahan, Clark Griffith and a relief pitcher. and he used these in turn
 In the sos John Clarkson did most of the work for the Chicagos. and
 Radbourne, Mccormick and their fellows twirled more games in one season than the average pill tosser of today does in two And those old howe were troubled with neither bank presidents salaries nor a rush of greatness to the head"

ROBE IN THE
MINING GAM E.

Two hundred ounces of gold in five days With only ten men and miserably small plant is the splendid record of the Independence mine, on Willow creek, last week. l.. s. Robe, the well known engi- neer, who is in charge of the mine telephoned T. w. Hawkins yester day to tell him of the result of the few days work and to inform him that the mine Is now richer by far than it ever was before. Two hun dred ounces will be shipped on the next boat to the Bank of Seward. Robe declares the property is look ing better all the time. A new lead has been struck which beats anything formerly discovered there and from all accounts the Indepen
 dence, like other mines in the neighborhood, Is sure of being a splendid producer from this time torward-Seward Gateway.

 According to the annual report of the National Commission, the 1914 receipts of that body were about $69,00O, all but about 5000 of which was disbursed. The sal aries of the officers of the commis sion ate up S25,000 lawyers annex ed s15,O0O more and 5000 was ex pended to assist the Buffalo club, of the International league. In Jan uary, 1913, the commission had a balance on hand of nearly S470OO and in January, 1914. S27,000. To day it is practically without funds All of which means that if the baseball war continues the sixteen major league clubs will have to dig deeply into their socks for funds with which the National Commission may carry on it's regular business and continue the rumpus with the Feds And in baseball war, the same as in a conflict of nations, there is no chance of getting back any of the money thrown away for fighting purposes.

HUMMER BAY MINE
 VERY PROMISING

Miners coming from Port Wells state that what is believed to be one of the most promising proper ties in that district is being opened up on Bettles and Hummer bays, of which Henry Bailey, Bonnet and Heinz were the locators.
 The property is under bond to Sam Pepper, the well known min ing man, and associates, who are arranging for two hundred feet of tunnel development work to be done at an early date The property extends from Bettles Bay to Hum mer Bay, and the lead, which is in the form of porphyry dike, car rying stringers of quartz, has been uncovered on the surface for a distance of eight thousand feet. The dike has an average width of seN en feet with quartz stringers vary ing from a few inches up to II inches. The stringers are very rich. and frequent testing or the pOTpnyTy srows that 1t also carries values sufficient 10 pay for milling
 During the pas summer develop ment work was confined to surface stripping and opencut work, hpt sev- eral hundred feet of tunn+l will te run in on the ore this winter with view of determin ng the values and the proper method of treating the ore.

 tons of antimony ore from the He'd mine, in addition to one hundred tons of the same kind of ore taken on at St Michael from the mines of the interior. Reliable informa- tion indicates that the antimony mines in the Fairbanks district are preparing to make extensive ship ments of the mineral during the coming summer. The antimony mine owners of the interior were quick to realize the possibilities incident to the increase of price during the war period and several large shipments have since beec forwarded to the states long ago. total of nearly fifteen hundred tons have been shipped so far the first of which came down on the last steamer down the Yukon last spring The most striking feature of this matter is that, until yer!
