him new followers with each succeeding

all departments than at any previous
time in his career.

DE NERI-CAMDEN
PLAY FOR FOURTH
PLACE POSITION
Heavy Scoring Teams in
Eastern League Clash
at Musical Fund
DEPEND ON OPEN PLAYS

The two heaviest scoring teams and the
two which play a wide-open game meet
tonight in the Eastern League holiday
battle in this city. when De Neri and
Camden line up at Musical Fund Hall.
Both clubs are wonderful scorers, de-
pending upon plenty of passing and wide
open plays to get their goals.
Both are fighting for the top of the sec
ond division and the victor will have un-
disputed sway of that perch. In all three
games played to date between the two
clubs, heavy scoring, fast floor work and
pretty passing were features.
Camden won two out of the three con-
tests, and in the last clash played last
Wednesday 1t set up an Eastern League
scoring record for total points, field
goals and assists made. 1t gave a
wonderful exhibition, and for De Neri to
beat 1t tonight the Southwark club
will have to show a decided reversal of
form. In the three games between the
teams Camden scored 146 points and 5S
field goals, while De Neri tailed 10 points
and i3 double deckers.
Arrangements have been made to get
the first half score and final result of the
clash between Greystock and Trenton in
the evening game at Trenton. These will
be announced during the game at Musical
Fund.
In the preliminary game there should
be battle royal. The undefeated De
Neri Reserves line up against the Delco
five, champions Of the Delaware County
League, and which has won it's last II
games.

that Wright being an Englishman,

Before Travers teed up for the open

Der comprise unskilled laborers.
In all about 80 men will remain
at work and will be engaged in
blocking out ore and developing the
mine so that an increased output
may be obtained. BY the time the
mill car be again operated in the
coming spring enough ore will be
blocked out to assure the mill run
ming at capacity, a condition which
has heretofore been impossible owing
to the limited output of the NINE
Scout.

contains a handsome monument
which was Mr.. Cebrian's gift to the

The development at the Distinc-
ton mine, adjoining the Mortimer
in California gulch, constitutes n
OF the most important strikes OF
ore in recent work in the Eureka
mines. This is the strike reported
a couple of weeks ago as having
been made while cutting out a
roadway from the main canyon up
to the Catlin and California proper
ties, a distance of about 1900 feet.
A drift has been run 80 feet into
the hillside from the point of dis
covery and about 10 tons Of good
grade shipping ore taken out and
sacked, and the face is now in ore
of this high-grade class.
For a height of five feet and
across the face, and in the bottom
the rich ore shows a solid mass
and there is not a doubt of its
going down. In fact, this showing
probably is as fine a face of ore
as may be seen in the camp.

the Distinction mine, owned by
Eureka people, Ben Repetto, Mike
Murphy and Phil Paroni, which
was made by them to the Catlin in
terests of New York, is due tho
first of December, and as a good
shipment of ore has been taken out
in running 80 feet, the fortunate
owners feel that they al hold on
TO the property a little longer, even
Il Major Catlin does not exercise
his option to purchase the proper
ty.
1t is also stated the Distinction
ground is vitality important to the
development going forward on the
Connolly property, which adjoins the
Distinction on the north, and on
which the Catlin interests are en-
gagged in sinking a new 100 foot
shaft.
Work at the new shaft, on the
Connolly, is proceeding in fine
shape, as reported last week. The
shaft is now below the 10O-foot
level, and is being driven at the
rate of six feet per day. Commence
ing next week a night shift will
be working, so that from 10 to II
feet per day will be made, it is
expected.
Nick Modarelli and partner have
been hauling and shipping ore
from their lease on the Connolly the
past week. They have in transit
the largest shipment yet produced,
and it is reported they will sus-
pend work before the first, and
the company will then enter the
shipping list.

on his lease near the Windfall.
Carl and his partner have been
working less than a month and are
fortunate in running into a good
grade of ore in this short time.
Work at the Silverado property
is proceeding very satisfactorily.
This property, under operation by
the Summit Mines company, was
formerly a producer of much rich
shipping ore, and recently the for
mer workings have been repaired,
timbered and cleaned out in pre-
paration for extensive development.
During the past month a seam of
high-grade, running better than
$500 per ton, has been cut, and this
is now being followed. Three men
are working steadily and good
progress is being made.
At the California mine a depth
of $50 feet has been attained in
former workings, the waste which
filled the old drifts at the 100, 1oO
and $50 having been cleaned out,
and a drift started north to get
under the big ore body from which
shipments have been going for
ward the past months. The
ore is said rake in kidneys and

1t is reported the California has
been paid for in seven months of
operation from royalties on ship
ments and the owners, Kelly, Re-
baleatti and Merialdo, have been
allie to equip the mine and set aside
a sufficient working capital to COM
mence development on a much
larger scale. Their work the past
summer has done much to en-
courage other operators in p%rosecut-
ing work, and other important dis
coveries have been made as a re-
suit of development at the Califo--
mia.
AS soon as the necessary time
elapses in which the law requires
that the application for franchise
be advertised, a Nevada corpora
ton will be completed to carry out
the installation of an electric light
plant in Eureka, with probable ex-
tension of power lines to various
mines of the district.
Steps are being taken by Salt
Lake parties to complete such al
organization, which will have strong
financial backing, and while the
plans are not complete, every eft
fort is being made to get figures
and estimates of cost and construc-
ton and installation of plant before
