be almost as strong a contender as
Des Moines on the finish stretch

Trainer who was not taken to Lin
coin with the team, says he expects to
be strong enough to get in the game
by this time next week. Just when he
was taken sick he was going better
than at any time this season and was
batting better than 400. Sickness and
accidents have been a jinx to the Saw
ages all season. Whenever player
gets to going at top speed, something
happens to him to put him out of the
game.
Bostick has been out at three diff
ferent times when he was badly need
ed. Manager jackson has been out,
once with a cold and twice with in
juries. Monroe has been out with
broken finger and Trainer barely es-
capped blood poison. Bugs Grover now
has a finger out of joint on his pitch
ing hand and Jackson left the city
with a bad cold. But the team seems
to be in better shape than it has been
since coming home and expects to
make a better road record than was
made on the last trip, barring further
miSfOrtuneS.

Six carloads of ore have been shipped from the strike on the Ella W. claim on Tenderfoot hill. Cripple Creek where the strike was made less than two weeks ago.
 Engineers from the Cripple Creek district report rapidly increasing de- mand for idle territory in the mineral ized area, with more development in hand than for many years in the past.
 With money In the bank and lib- eral program of development, the Ivy Johnson Mining and Milling Company. closely related to the Golden Cycle Mining and Reduction Company, is once more prominent in Cripple Creek annals
 Ouray reports that three weIl-au- thenticated strikes have been made in well-known mines in that vicinity.
 Zinc and lead are perceptibly enliy. ening the Creede district, which would otherwise suffer from the low price of silver. This is one advantage of the by-product rule in Colorado camps, where one metal assists the others over the rough places.
 Skirting the eastern portion of San Juan county for its entire length and extending well into Hinsdale county on the east lies the eastern San Juan gold belt, embracing one of the most extensive gold and silver-bearing areas of the Western field.
 One of the richest strikes made in months in the Cripple Creek district is reported from the Ajax property. A veritabie vault of high-grade ore has been encountered on what is known as block 13. operated under lease by Worthington and Downer.
 Manager Dorsey W. Almond of the St. Louis-Colorado Mining Company, operating in the Lsckawanna district. near Leadville. stated that all of the various undertakings which are now being pushed in that section are meet Ing with the best of success.

 Yes-they're from variety of poppy, the blue nav poppy seed, should say" he answered, brushing them of his palm. and dusting his hands together.
 But why don't you save them?" cried the bank officer.
 Poe did not hear; he had turned quickly to Jackson. and asked in a low voice so that the curious clerks all about the room. trying to look un- concerned, could not hear:
