feet of solid ore, glistening with hub
nerite crystals.
The lessees had made their first
mill run from the property when the
deal was closed. One SHOT in the vein
produced more than sixty sacks OF
high-grade ore.
1t Is known that the vein runs
through the Wolrtonite and the o'Kel-
ley mines on Middle mountain. Both
properties have been opened and a
smelter will be built there.
Several new strikes are reported
from various sections of the San

Opposition to Proposed Hard Law.

Reports from practically every part
OF the state, made at meeting of
the livestock and agricultural bureau
OF the Civic Association in Denver,
show a determined and spirited op-
position to the so-called herd law for
which initiative petitions are being
circulated. The report cites that all
stockmen have always used the pub
lie commons and that farmer have
fenced their growing crops to keep
the stock out, which was iegalized In
the present fence law. The first sec
ton of the proposed law. which de-
clares that "the owner, person in
possession or caretaker OF any do
mestic animals. shall hereafter be IL
able for all injury done by such do
nestle animal or animals" is de-
clared to be the meat of the whole
bill.

ONES DEFEAT GROCERS
 IN GREAT GAME

That was sure some baseball game last night on the Juneau grounds between the Travelling Men and the Grocery Boys. The restless ones won the game by a score or no to 8 due to their ability to move from place to place in a hur- Try.
 No box score was kept because three men and two boys could not have counted the errors. The gang were out for the fun of the game and they had it. The spectators also had plenty of fun.
 The travelling men won the box .of cigars which had been hung up by Gus Gills as a prize and are today all smoking and letting the grocers smell the smoke
 Dolly Gray, the original and only, was the star short stop for Che travellers and did fine work. Dolly came to bat in one of the innings and knocked a three-bagger. He, however. stopped to talk to one of the players on the way and was greeted with the ball when he reached the third sack.

cers. He can not run lasts enough to get out of his own way since he started to take on weight but that chase must have reduced him several pounds
 Martin Jorgenson played a star game as catcher for the grocers and was able to collar all of the weird curves and combinations of curves thrown by the relays of pitchers. He knocked a two-bagger once but was caught of second base when Dolly concealed the ball.
 Tommie Richardson was the star player for the grocers. He took long fly in left field and juggled with 1t for some time, finally collar ing it with one hand This was at a critical point in the game. The ball landed in his init square, and Tommie dropped it. Business of groans from the grocers' bench but Tommie didn't drop 1t. With mighty scoop of his left hand he recovered the pill and triumphant ly held it up for the populace to see. The adjective "triumphantly' is used because in the play before he had dropped fly which landed square in his hands.
 The heaving of Glen Darlington was great. He was right at home in the pitchers box and had the grocer boys reaching for the high and wide ones at all times. The victory of the restless ones is due mostly to his trusty right arm which delivered the goods in grand style.
 Umpire Burbach was on the job at all times and called balls strikes, and strikes balls with equal impar- tiality
