High Class Baseball
For Three Days

Weed and Medford at Ashland,
July A, and 6.
This announcement alone is
enough to thrill the average baseball
fan with JOY of the approaching con-
tests.
These two teams met in a series
of three games four years ago fol
the championship of southern Ore
gon and northern California. Weed
was victorious, winning the first and
third games. The interest manifest
ed in these games was so great that
the capacity of the ball parks at
Medford and Weed were overtaXed
with those seeking admittance, and
many were turned away.
For these all-important games
Medford has signed Siebert, the star
pitcher for o. A. c., and have also
signed two other crack players which
fills up all the weak spots in the
Medford lineup.
Weed likewise is overlooking no
opportunity and is drawing on all of
the available talent in California for
these all-important games which are
to decide the baseball supremacy of
southern Oregon and northern Cali
fornia for the season of 1916. Ken
meth Lilly, former Ashland star, is
playing sensational ball with Weed.
The games will be called immedi-
ately after the morning parades.

Recall Against
Greer Defeated

The recall election instituted
against Chairman B. r. Greer of the
springs water commission was defeat
ed Monday by the voters of Ashland.
Mr.. Greer scored a victory in every
ward. The total vote in favor of re-
calling Mr.. Greer was 5gS, only SO
more votes than appeared on the re-
call petition which was signed up by
a systematic canvass of the city. The
total vote opposing the recall was
657 The total vote cast was 1,255,
the old spirit of leave it to the other
fellow" preventing the turning out
of full vote.
NJ. c. Reed, who allowed his name
to be used on the recall as candidate
against Mr.. Greer, received 594 votes
against 637 for Mr.. Greer. Friends
of Mr.. Greer estimate that differ
ence of perhaps two or three hundred
votes was swung over against him by
an attack made in the churches and
backed by wild charges against the
Bungalow dancing. Since Monday
investigation of these charges made
by prominent church members have
proved them groundless.
After the results of the election
had become known Monday evening
friends of Mr.. Greer kidnapped him
and, attiring him in chaps, spurs and
cowboy rigging, put him astride of a
saddle cinched on a Ford car and
drove him through the streets at the
head of riotous procession. At the
entrance Of the park Mr.. Greer ad-
dressed a crowd of several hundred
who had gathered, proclaim!ng
wish to have personal spite forgotten
and the entire community unite in
getting behind the Ashland climate,
water and scenery and, by their CO.
operation, build a city.

Crew Of Twenty-Five
Work Ashland Mine

The Ashland mine, at one time one
of the biggest gold producers in
southern Oregon, after a period of
inactivity extending over several
years has once again been put into
operation. With a crew of twenty
two men actual mining operations
were begun on the 25O-foot level this
week. The ore, which is being taken
out to the extent of about thirty tons
day is of high grade. The low
grade ore is milled at the mine and
the higher grade sent to the smelter
at Selby, Cal. A telephone line has
been built in from Ashland to the
mine, which is located about five
miles west of here, and an electric
power line is to be built. The lower
portions of the mine have filled with
water to a depth of $50 feet and
electric pumps will be installed to
pump the water out of the lower
levels.
W. A. Bartlett of San Antonio,
Texas, has leased the mine for a
period Of two years and is personally
experimenting operations. He re-
ports very satisfactory progress at
the mine and states that a six-inch
vein at the 25O-foot level had wild
ened out into three-foot vein and
was yielding fine returns.
A big crew of men has been at
work for several weeks prior to this,
putting the property in shape, build
ing houses to accommodate the men
and renovating the machinery. Much
new machinery was shipped in from
Portland.
A monthly payroll of about $4,000
results from the operation of the
mine. Most of this money is natural
ly spent in Ashland.
