(From Wednesdays Daily Miner.) MINERS HEAR BRYAN

A large number of people from the outlying camps of the county came to Kingman yesterday to attend the lec- ture of Hon. W. J. Bryan. Many of them were old-timers and they were pleased to meet again the man who made the big fellows set up and take notice a quarter of a century ago.
 WELL GOES DOWN RAPIDLY
 Yesterday the mining editor of the Daily Miner, in company with William Macnider, paid a visit to the well that is being drilled in Wallapai valley. The drill had obtained a depth of 965 feet and was going down at a rapid rate. Twenty feet was drilled in 90 minutes. The drill appears to be in a clay mass of volcanic material, which may bring a flow when it has been completely penetrated.

WHAT DID SCRUBS
 DO ID REGULARS !?
 OH YES, SCORE 4-4
(By Ham).


 Well boys, that sure was hard luck, but that's the way of the world; you can't expect to get everything. Oh, sure, it would have made some diff ference, if Umpire Johnson hadn't had an off day, but that corn of his was aching something terrible and he had. to get the game through in as quick time as possible.
 Those scrubs, challengers, second raters or anything you want to call them, turned right around and wallop- ed the first team the second time this week, and they did 1t right this time, the score being IA to 4.
 As a ball game this exhibition was a good farce comedy. It looked like it might have been a contest to see who could make the most errors and pull the most "bones." If it was, it will have to be called draw for there were about nine men on the regulars who were too good to come in second.
 Tommy Clark, the winners slabster, had such a sore arm he could hardly lob the ball to the. plate and still there was not over a half dozen hits made off him.
 The official scorekeeper, Git is said he bet five on the wrong side) could not be found after the game, but after dilIigent search he was located in his home last evening suffering from a severe case of headache and when questioned about the box score of the game said he had become so excited in the third inning when the scrubs got in the lead that he forgot all about the score. It's a good thing any way for it sure would have put anyone on the blink who had a weak heart.
