Jackson, Wagner. Collins, I.aioie,
Speaker and the other famous hitters
of the present era of baseball don't
try to outguess pitcher They swing
at every good ball that comes along,
not worrying about how it is going to
break. But they've always followed
that course. Fournier's case is diff
ferent.
In 1913 Fournier hit for .234. Up to
midseason in 1914 he didn't hit much
better than $50.

ON THE $50 LEVEL

An excellent development has taken
place on the $50 level of the North
Star mine. The crosscut there was
run under the ledge and an upraise
picked it up in nine feet The level
was then continued in the form of a
northeast drift and three feet of very
good milling ore is being developed
in virgin territory.
On the 900 level ore is being stopped
in two places. The property at this
time is not showing any sensational
values but it proving up a territory
