 The Diana is running a crosscut from the west extremity of the drift on the South vein, intended to tap the north vein, which is supposed to lie about 65 or 70 feet north, directly un- der the old workings from which about S75,000 worth of ore was taken in the past A. M. MacDuffee is said to have made assays of shipping lots of ore from these old workings as- saying as high as 2S0O ounces silver, per ton. The crosscut was started from the point mentioned because it provides the nearest point to the rich est portion of the vein, as indicated by surface exploration.
 A special election of officers of Chloride Miners Union No. 77 Inter- national Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, was held between the hours of a. m. and 9 D. m., We'd nesday, September 12. The following candidates were elected:
 President, James Tregarthen
 Vice-President, W. S. Daniels
 Financial Secretary, Earl James
 RecordingSecretary Pat c. Roe
 Conductor, George Shields
 Warden, Mike Fugina
 Trustees, Robert Petty, Barney L. White,T. c. Andrews,W. s. Daniels, Jack McDonald.
 Finance Committee, T. c. Andrews, Paul E. White, Jack Mcdonald.
 The election is regarded as vic tory for sane unionism and met with general approval in all quarters.
 Announcement has been made that the Jack Pot property, in the gold-sil- yer section of the camp, is about to be started up very soon. It is said that the company has been amply financed to perform work on a large scale. , The Jack Pot lies a short distance east of the Tintic, West Star and Tuckahoe and just south of the Diana and Merrimac.
 J. c. Wilson, deputy state mine in- spector, moved his residence to King man last Saturday, in order to give his son John,jr., the advantages of the Kingman high school. The Will sons will retain their residence prop erty here and may move back at the close of the school session next spring. In the interim this popular official will be a frequent visitor in the Chlo- ride district.
 The South crosscut on the 150-foot level of the New Mohawk is in about 50 feet. The formation is changing | rapidly and the flow of water is get ting quite heavy, indicating, presuma- bly,, a neaness to the ore.
 Number 8 shaft has attained a depth of 75 feet, with little change of importance.

Elmer D. Reese, James Hunter and John Hunter, left last week for Los Angeles to attend a meeting of the stockholders and directors of the Washington-Arizona Copper Company. Matters of Importance having to do with the affairs of that company are to be brought up and settled at that meeting.
 In the meanime a small force of men has been continued at work on property, timbering and putting the mine in shape for further operations, indicating the intention of the com pany to resume operations on larger scale as soon as some necessary ad-

Gus Holmes Blackberry mine is em- ploying about 30 men engaged in per forming development work and in blocking out ore. Cement reservoirs are being built to care for the water, of which there will be ample for all milling needs.
 Mir. Holmes estimates that there are 35,000 tons of ore already in sight, blocked out. Two cars week are be- ing shipped to the smelter, this ore containing an average of about 50 ounces silver, 10 to 15 percent lead and $500 to $500 gold per ton.

The south crosscut on the 150-foot level of the New Mohawk's number 2 shaft has just entered the pegmatite dyke and a heavy flow of water has come in, indicating, in all probability, that the Puzzle vein, to tap which the shaft was sunk, has been reached According to estimates, this is about the point where it should be. The next few feet may reveal some inter esting conditions.
 The east drift on this level, which it has been suspected may be running along the Puzzle vein, but which the work mentioned above may prove not to be the case, has advanced along the ore shoot a distance of 50 feet from the point where it was first found, with the width and values continuing without interruption.

Tragedy Brought End
To Pelkey's Career

Arthur Pe1lsey was born at Chat
ham, Ont. Oct 27. 1884, just ss years
ago today. He started his ring ca
reer, after changing his name from
Andrew Arthur Peutier, in the vi
cinity OF Boston in 1910, and, al
though knocked out in one of his
early bouts, he soon developed into
a classy heavyweight. He developed
a punch that put many of his op-
ponents to sleep, and was breezing
along like coming champion when
he was matched to fight Luther Nc
Carly in Calgary on May PAL 91s.
McCarty died in the ring after COL
lapsing, and, although Pelkey was In
no way to blame for the tragedy, he
took 1t very much to heart.
For months he refused to fight, and
when he did get back into the game
he was knocked out by Gunboat
Smith. That defeat. coupled with the
Calgary tragedy put the finishing
touch on Pelkey's pugilistfc career.
He became contender for honsrs

HIGGINS TO GET
STARS FOR .YANKS
: BEFORE next YEAR

New York, Oct. 27-Miller Higgins
said on Thursday that he had heard
enough about the Yankees to believe
that comparatively little strengthen
ing would make them a winning
baseball club. He probably was right.
Before they were cut to pieces by
injuries the Yankees showed consid-
cradle ability. Early last season they
looked strong, and as late as August,
Bill Donovan had them well up in
the race. If their entire material can
be kept out Of the hospital there is
quite a list with which to build
In the first place, they always have
had good pitching staff. Caldwell,
Fisher, Shawkey, Shocker, Cullop,
| Mogridge, Love, McGraw, Russell,
Ross, Percy, Monroe and the rest
| are all hur1ers that other clubs would
welcome It sometimes has seemed
that the club had too many pitchers
| for its own good and would have done
better to select a few of them and
work them regularly.
Walters is q star behind the bat and
| Nunamaker is a veteran who knows
opposing batters and who can wallop
the ball. He also is exceedingly fast
| for a big man. Peckinpaugh is a truly
/ great shortstop, one of the greatest,
and Pipp is a good first baseman who
never has quite played up to his cap
abilities. Baker is still a dangerous
hitter and there is no reason why
he should not have another good
year, although he is not as fast as
he used to be.
Marsans and Gilhoo1ey appear to
be capable outfielders. Whether they
can hit hard enough to retain their
positions remains to be seen. The
| outfield must have couple of hit
tiers before the Yanks tack any PEN
nants to the club house wall. Also
the outfield must prevent opponents
from scoring from third on short
flies. Several games were lost that
lway the past season.
The first thing that Higgins will
have to dig up, therefore, is Sec
ond baseman and some hitters They
may be with the club right now, but
if they are they have kept It secret
from the owners and the management
The new leader will have plenty to
occupy his time and more gray hal,
than he has now before the Yankees
capture a flag.
i No announcement has been made az
to who will take the place of Huggins
in st. Louis. The man most otter
mentioned for the job is Ira Thomas
It is known that Branch Hickey has
great regard for Connie Mack's old
lieutenant, but whether Ira would
wish to tackle the job Of running the
Cardinals is uncertain. He is said tc
have good outside business that
takes most of his time.

THERE'S NO ROOM
FOR THIRD MAJOR
LEAGUE JUST NOW

New York, Oct. 27.-Coming at q
time when baseball generally is con-
fronting a very precariouS period,
Charles Webb N6urphys announce
ment Of a third major league Is al
most humorous.
Murphy is that genial. garrulous
soul who used to own the Chicago
more or less to vocalizing through his
helmit, and in this instance he is
probably just talking. That, and
nothing more.
The American and National leagues
are planning to shorten their seasons,
and to make retrenehments all alon5
the line. Even SO it is no absolute
cinch that they will be able to go
through the coming season under any
thing like the conditions which have
prevailed in the past.
No matter what they say publicly;
no matter how loudly they whistle to
keep up their courage, the magnates
know mighty well that the war has
affected interest in baseball very
strongly, and that it is going to af-'
feet it next year.
Numerous reasons have been as
signed by opdmists for the falling
] off in interest and patronage in the
worlds series, but the wiser magnates
preciate, too, that it was a storm
warning of what is to come, and they
are preparing themselves accordingly.
| Knowing what they know, and fore
seeing what they foresee. 1t must
cause them grim smiles to read
Charles Webb Murphy's proclamation.
Murphy says the new league will be
introduced with or without the sane
ton of organized baseball" He de-
clares it will have an eight-club cir
cult, including New York, Brooklyn
and Chicago.
Former Federal league owners are
said to be back of the movement, and
Murphy goes so far as to say that
Johnny Evers will manage the Chi
lcago club. If former Federal league
owners" are really involved in the
new scheme, they ought to have their
theads examined. If their experience
with the old Federal league did not
lcinvinee them that there is no de-
mand, and no room for third major,
they are individually fit subjects for
the alienists.
The old Federal had every chance
from the publicity standpoint, at least,
and it certainly had plenty Of money
behind, including, as it did, in its
membership, several million
couldn't get by because it could not
produce a quality of entertainment
such as was provided by its comped-
tors, and because there was no room
for it. ssa

CONTEST TODAY is
BIG SPORT EVENT

New York, Oct. 27-The brightest
light on the football schedule today
in a general way will be the Penn
Pittsburgh contest in Philadelphia.
It will be the biggest in the East, but
there are games Of Importance sched-
u1ed at various points South and
West.
The Penn-Pitt encounter may or
may not prove to be as well fought a
game as Brown and Colgate put
forth and may not produce as high
grade football, but on account of the
extensive following of each of the
Pensylyannia universities the fact
that their game has been looked for
ward to all season. whereas the
Brown Colgate meeting only recently
was arranged. that Pitt took first
rank on the gridiron last year, and,
under the coaching Of Glenn Warner,

cleaning up, make the game in Phil

Gregg Still Stays
In Majors After He
Was Counted AS Done

''Vean" Gregg, the star southpaw
Of the Boston Red Sox, will receive
congratulations today on his thirtieth
birthday. Vean. who was christened
Sylvanus. was born Oct. 81, 1887, at
Chehalfs, Wash. He got his baseball
start on an independent club in Lewis
ton, Idaho, and in 1909 pitched for
Spokane in the Northwestern league
Cleveland had a laundering for the
left-hander and gave Spokane $4,000
for him, but the proffered contract
was not satisfactory to vean and he
refused to sign, thus proving himself
true temperamenta1 southpaw. The
Maps turned him over to Portland, in
the Pacific Coast League, in 1910, but
recalled him in 1911. During his ca
reer with Cleveland. which terminal
ed when he was traded to the Red Sox
in 1914, Gregg won 70 and lost IS
games. Gregg is still with the Red
Sox.

WHY HUGG1Ns QUIT.

It is said that jealousy between
Miller Higgins and President Branch
Hickey of the st. Louis Nationals led
to the decision Of Higgins to leave the
club. Hickey wanted to run the club
and often did things without consult
ing Higgins, all Of which made the
little manager angry.
! Hickey took upon himself the re-
sponsibility of making a trade for
Pitcher Goodwin of the, Milwaukee
club last season and he agreed to give
up several st. Louis players. Higgins
complained he was not consulted in
this. While the Cardinals were in
New York in August, Hickey booked
an exhibition game with the Jersey
City club without asking Huggins
about 1t. Higgins refused to play
the contest. 1t was shortly afterward
that Higgins went to see Col. Rup-
pert Of the Yankees to discover II the
New York club would use him as a
manager.
The Yale football enthusiasts die
hard. In spite of the fact that DR..
Brides, the coach. has announced that
there will be no Varsity team, grad
yates and undergraduates are still in
sisting that there is a real demand
for the sport on the old time basis.

catcher, will have a hard time trying
