Harry Cornen, former Bridgeport
pitcher and later manager of an indie
pendent club in Norwa1k, is likely to
be the next owner of the Bridgeport
baseball franchise. It was learned
this. morning that Cornen has agreed
upon the purchase price. The only

when Bridgeport is on the road. The
price for the franchise is said to be
$4,000.
Cornen went to the Remington Of

field for rs per cent. of the receipts.

Murphy as manager and when

Big  Strike l

Captain Hubrick, Ben Jackson Jack Sholtz and James Barclay returned from the upper Chit ina River last week bringing with them samples from a strike which looks like the best news recelyed in this district for a long time. The fame Of the up- per Copper River as a producer of copper has long been known: but the recent strike is of a new character, namely silVer-lead. The ledge is about sixty feet in width and lays on tue contact between the line and the green stone. The ordinary formation lime over greensboro has been reversed ln this case, the lime being on the foot wall and the greensboro being above. Some gooi Minerologists have examin- ed the rock and agrees that a quantity such as is claimed by the locators will make mine which will rival the famous Bo- nanza and Jumbo Mines. The  locators will put in a tunnel in the spring and will bring out a large shipment for shelter test as soon as possible.
