GAME SPORT OWNS
BOSTON RED S0X
FRAZEE, ONE OF PURCHASERS.
HAS BACKED BIG AMUSE-
MENT EVENTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE sale
of the Boston American league club,
within a month after the team had
won the worlds championship, is
thought by many close followers of
baseball politics to mark the first
of a number of changes n read
justments in major league circles.
Former President ]. j. Lannin made
no secret of the fact that the Red
Sox were for sale and if rumors and
inner circle gossip can be accepted
at face value, several other club
owners are just as willing to dis
pose of their holdings but lack the
frankness of Lannin
The president of the Boston
Americans placed a price of $780,
600 upon the club early in the pre-
sent year and, it is understood, was
offered and refused 100000. I'm
der the circumstances the sale of
the worlds series victory was still
fresh, at $675,OOO appears in the
light of a compromise. Judging
from past results and attendance
figures at Boston the new owners
made an excellent deal when the
value of the club, franchise and
park property is taken into con-
sideration.
The Boston club entered the
American League in 1901 and since
that season has won the junior
league pennant five times and the
worlds championship three times.
In the sixteen years the Red Sox
have finished fourth or better every
season except in 19O6-7-8 and 1911.
The average position of the team
for the full period works out as
3 IA. Furthermore Boston has al
ways been noted as a good baseball
Gown, supporting it's clubs with
consistency whether winners or
losers.
Harry -Frazee, the new head Of
the club. while a young man has
always been a close follower Of
sports and is far from being a
novice in the promoting line. In
addition to his many theatrical ven
lures, he has backed several sport
ing events of more than ordinary
prominence including the heavy
weight championship bout at Hava-
ma, Cuba, when Jess Willard wrest-
ed the title from Jack Johnson.
As a result he does not enter
t.ig league baseball circles without
preliminary training. Because of
his close knowledge Of the amuse-
rent trend of the American public,
Frazee should prove a valuable adj
dition to the roster of baseball
magnates.

OLD DEAN MINE
TO Be WORKED
FIG PRODUCER ~ LANDER
COUNTY Is PREPARING
FOR RESUMPTION

After lying idle for n great many
ed operations. This property pro
duced $500, 600 from the better
eadc of ores mined and which were
treated on the ground with a To-
stamp mill. At that time the com
pauy used coal for fuel, and as
transportation was very high only
the very best grades of ore We're
treated. leaving thousands of tons
OF lower grade ore IN the stopes
which are now to be milled.
The old company drove a drain
and working tunnel 1900 feet into
the mountain and tapped the ledge
at a vertical depth of AIS feet lower
t. an the upper workings. They were
thus enabled to block u thou
sands of tons of ore, none of which
has beer mined. The General Min
ms company has taken this proper
~ over and will work from IL to
II men during the winter months,
cleaning up old tunnels, drifts and
Slopes, replacing timbers and get
ting the mine into shape for a big
production of milling ore.
A new mill is to be built farth r
down the canyon, which will enable
the company to handle all ores
taken from the mine to the mill ny
/ gravity, thus cutting the operating
expenses to such an extent that
nearly as much profit will be derived
from treating the lower grade ores
in the Slopes as from the high
grade milled in the past.
J. II. Farrell, who was general
manager for the Dean estate, will
be manager for the new company,
and being familiar with the proper-
ty and its workings will give him
and his company a big advantage
over some new man who would have
all this to learn.
Tony Angelo, who has been care
taker for many years, remains with
the new management. and will now
be given a chance TO exercise his
unused muscles which have beer
dormant about as long as the mine
itself.
The operation Of this old mine
will add another active producer 70

rectly benefit Battle Mountain and

Mines IN OLD eureka DISTRICT
PROMISE LARGE FUTURE OUTPUT

big a shipment as possible, and the
work has usually been consummated
along these lines. while develop
ment proceeded only as far Is was
essential to open the orebody
thoroughly, and as often the work
has proceeded horizontally or on
an incline, as vertically.
This practice has been due large
iy to the fact that operations were
as a rule carried along with limited
funds, either for development o.
equipment. Frequently large bodies
of ore not of shipping grade have
only been scratched" and their
extent remains to be more fully ex-
plcred. 1t is reported one of the
larger groups of mines has avail
able more than 1000, 900 tons OF
good grade ore blocked out; but
mage, the smaller groups probably
have or will with little development
prove up as much more milling
grade Gre.
This would provide a daily ton
mage for a i00-ton mill for many
years, probably a good deal O
than any other camp in the state
could supply before the installation

quantity of siliceous gold and sill
yer ores at 40 per cen of this total
volume, there would appear to be

years. Add to such conditions, the
fact that with an efficient milling
plant in operation, at least as many
more mines could be put in opera
ton at once, and the proposition
represents a very attractive invest
ment. 1t is a practical certainty
that with power available for mill
ing, a plant will be installed
er or later.-Eureka Sentinel.

Club To Raise Iseets

The Reno Commercial club, at
a largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting, gave it's official endorse
ment to the effort now being made
by the Utah-Nevada Sugar company
to add from 1000 to 1000 acres to
the sugar-beet area to supply the
MIL at Fallon. The additional acre
age is required to keep the mill
running all year. In order to set
a good example the club has agreed
to purchase and seed to sugar beets
between 10 and 20 acres in the
vicinity of Reno.

1t is reported the Harris Bros,
leasing on the Bullwhacker, are
sinking a shaft to connect with the
recent discovery made near the sur
face on that property. The open:ns

shallow incline drift that turned

handling of the ore twice before
getting it to the surface.
