SILVER PRICES To-.
KEEP 'EM A-COINC

The high price of silver has created
considerable movement in the min
ing industry and many of the old sill
yer camps of the county and pros
poets are being looked into, and from
present indications will soon be un-
der development With silver over the
dollar mark there are large number
of properties that have been lying idle
for years that will again be made pro-
ductive. The camps of Rochester,
Seven Troughs, Antelope, National,
Gold Run, Unionville, Kennedy and
many others in Humboldt county have
been stimulated by the continued rise
in the white metal and now Spring
City and the Paradise mines are COM
ing into the spotlight.
The Paradise group of claims has
a great record as producer and at
one time ranked as the third largest
bullion producer on the coast. This
property is situated at the head of
Paradise valley and about fifty miles
northerly from Winnemucca. The
first locations were made in the year
1878 by Charles Siskron and others.
This estate has undergone con-
siderable development along the
strike, but to no great depth. New
ertheless this property has produced
over s2,000,000 in bullion and still has
good showings of ore.

Former friends of Charles Cutler, the crack western wrestler who comes to Birmingham April for bout with Paul Martinson, the great Dan grappler, will hardly recognize the above as a likeness of the man who left Birmingham In his younger days raw pupil of the most famous wrestler produced by the United States-Farmer Burns
 Tn truth Cutler has developed wonder fully and is regarded now as probably the most finished strategist of the mat. Not only has Cutler developed mentally, but he has devoted great attention of necessity to his physical well being, and the result has been an all-round athlete of wonderful prowess, fast on his legs and of indomitable courage.
 The match between Cutler and Martin son, two of the greatest heavyweghts of the mat, will attract unusual interest in Birmingham to settle question that has agitated wrestling fans for years is the ability to take punishment superior to the man who depends on his wits to win.
 Cutler has made an especial study of the style of Joe Stecher and writes from Chicago that he expects to put into ex- ecution some of the things he has learned from the Omaha demon.s Speaking about learning things, Cutler talks interest ingly.

A BARON A DA Y
No. 16 WILLIAM WEBB, THIRD EASTMAN

Should William Webb. a young recruit Moley has here for trial, continue his sensational playing, he is sure to land regular berth with the Barons during the coming season. Webb, who is a third baseman, is a real youngster He has been in the organized game but one year but still he shows plenty of knowledge Of baseball.
 Moley is impressed with Webbs show
 ing. He hits the ball and he hits it hard. He has an easy swing, something like that of Artie Phelan, a third sacker who played with the Barons several years ago and went to the big league. He has a fine arm and he is a neat little fielder.
 The fact that Eddie Mcdonald is on hand again practically kills his chances for a regular job at the hot corner. Un- derstand he's not good enough to be a player of Eddie's calibre out of job, but at the same time. he's the kind that Moley likes.
 There is much belief among close fol- lowers of the Barons that Moley will keep Webb. He may keep him as utility player or should he continue his ter rifle hitting, he may be shifted to the outfield. He must be shifted to some other position as soon as Mcdonald rounds in condition to enter the lineup, l Moley has abundance of time, however, l to decide where he will play the young | ster. It is not believed that he will be ! sent to another league for years sea- soning for he handles himself well at the present. It's tough proposition, how ever, and will cause Moley much worry
 before it is finally settled
 1 Webb began his professional baseball | career last season. He joined the In-
 dianapolis club in the spring training sea-
 son. but didn't have the stuff to make good in the American association. He was sent to the Duluth club in the North ern league a class c organization, where
 he played the entire season.
 l Webb didn't have such a great season 1 but he made good. He batted .263 and 1 feded .930
 l Moley drafted him and he reported here promptly for training on March 10 when l the Barons began their spring work Since the first day he worked out with l the Barons, he made a favorable inn
 pression on Moley and the Baron boss has offered him many suggestions in the line of changing his style of play.
 The suggestions have helped him greatly and now he appears to be ready for class ball. Seldom does a player go from the ranks of semi professional player to a class c, and then to a class A, but there's no reason why Webt should not accomplish this feat | Webb was born in Chicago and he re-
 sides in the Windy City every winter He works for construction company
 as timekeeper during his idle months from the diamond. He is not married.
 He has already won the nickname o1

PAINTERS SWAMP ANN|STON PREDS
 IN FINAL BATTLE
Anniston Players Commit Twelve Misplays and Crack Local Nine
 Wins Easily

The Birmingham college baseball team again defeated the Anniston Presbyterian team by the overwhelm- ing score of 10 to 2 yesterday after noon on Munger Field
 The Preds failed to exhibit any spirit and gave up the game in the seventh inning. The Panthers were strong throughout the battle and exhibited a classy brand of ball.
 Brown hurled five innings for the Methodists and performed creditabiy, being a trifle wild at times. Brown has plenty of wares but is unable to control them. Thomas relieved him and made a good impression.
 Quinn pitched nice ball but a glance at the error column tells the entire story. Sharpe and Carter played well for Anniston, while Norton, Scott and Gillian performed best for the Panthers.
 The Partners tackle the Barors again today at Redwood Field The game is to be called at 3 o'clock Lefty Nation will pitch for the col legians A good attendance is expected as the collegians have a strong team this season

 I can say truthfully that I have never been in bout from which I didn't learn something.
