MINES LAND ONSME[T HUR[ERS
AND SNATCH MUCH DESIRED CONTEST

Hester's fighting miners hit Hor-
sted and Leverett when hits meant
runs, and won the Sunday game from
the Smelter to S.
Spot McMurdo wanted the game,
too, as winning it would have given
him clear possession of first place in
the second series, but "Southpaw''
Jack Bromley hurled otherwise after
relieving Jack Ryan in the fourth.
At that, Jack Ryan hurled winning
ball the three and two-third innings
he toiled, slow fielding making hits
out of apparently easy outs.
The home boys stepped out and got
two in the second. Smith beat out
an infield hit and went to second on
wild pitch. Hosp walked. Smith
and Hosp worked the double steal.
Ryan walked, filling the bases. Ton
neman popped to Flick.
Hosp and Smith scored on Sorey's
single to center. Scanlon hit into a

down over the ball orchard like smell

Six hits, some of which the scorers
were loath to mark up against the de-
livery of Ryan, and one error gave
the McMurdo crew four runs. Hosp's
single and Tonneman's double gave
the Miners another in the fourth
Two singles, a steal, walk and a
passed ball chalked up the final run
in the sixth for the Smelter.
The Miners had big time with
Horsted and Leverett in the eighth

Horsted went to the shower, while

.LOWLY BURRO IS
PUTTING SILVER
LEAD ON THE MAP

Over in Jerome one day years ago,
James Douglas, mining magnate, was
talking to one of his employees. "Jim-
mie," he said, there is many pro-
ducing mine to be made in this coun-
try with the lowly burro.'
And James Pollard believed what
James Douglas said.
That is why citizens of Ray were
treated to the sight of two hoists
starting Monday morning from the
railroad station to the workings of
the Ray Silver Lead mine, three and
one-half miles southeast of Ray, on
two burro pack trains.
That is why James Pollard is ship
ping one thousand tons of silver lead
ore from Ray every month to the
Deming smelter, and Ray has another
great mine with an increasing payroll
in the making. All of the ore is trans
ported down the mountain side by
burros.
There are now eighty men on the
payroll of the Ray Silver Lead.

NEW YORK MONEY
BACKS BROKEN
HILL

A big deal in mining stock went
through this week.
New York parties bought the re-
naming 100000 shares of treasury
stock in the Ray Broken Hill mine.
This will greatly increase the work
ing capital and greater development
work will be started at once.
HOSTS and other machinery have
been contracted for. The shaft is
down 120 feet The ore assays $21.60
in gold values at that depth. Many
crosscuts and tunnels have shown
practically the same value in this
huge ore body.
Engineer William Gordon believes
that Ray Broken Hill will eventually
make big copper-gold mine, with sill
yer and lead on the upper levels.
The management and directorate
will not change on account of the
deal.

SEASON
 COMMENCES ON
 ASH WEDNESDAY

Ash "Wednesday Cinerum- a name derived from the practice of lrinkIing ashes on the head of those who were put 10 public pen
 nee &nd temporary eXCommunica- :on on that day. marks the begin
 ing of the Lenten season. and falls this year on February 21
 The word Lent is derived from the old English Lenckton, meaning Spring. and the Spring Fast. The observation of time of fasting and penitence before Easter, as it is most natural, so appears to have been primitive. But the duration of 1t varied even in the second cen tury. II seems, however. at least highly probable that in the earl; centuries 1t usually lasted forty hours, the time during which Our Lord vas under the power of death The Great Sabbath Easter Eve al ways remained the chief feast of the year, moro strictly observed in the east than even Good Friday By degrees the time was enlarged. though still with great variation of observance, till it settled down. first to thirty-six days, then. following the example of Our Lord In the Wilderness. to forty days. Still, in the reckoning of this time there was variation. arising partly from the festa observance of Saturday cept on Easter Eve as the Sab bath" i'll the east. At last, about the 7th century, the present observ- ance. reckoning forty days, exclu- siye of Sundays, universally pre- vailed. In old days Lent was a spe- cial period of penanCe and restora- ton of penitents, and of preparation for the great Easter baptism and Easter communion.
 The ideas of the Lenten ob- servances are penitenCe, selfdisCi- pline and self-chastisement and spe- cial devotion. All these involve the reality of sin and the need of ear nest prayer and painful struggle against it, but as leading up to Easter. they involve also the sure and certain hope of victory. Prob ably ninety.five per cent of Chris tians observe the Lenten season, so that Ash Wednesday marks the be- ginning Of a period of special reli- gious devotion the world over.

.DR. AKED IS
 NUT WANTED
Associated Press j

LIVERPOOL, Feb. l7.-Dr. Charles F. Aked, best known in the United States as one-time pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church (John D. Rockefeller's church) and later as member of the Ford Peace EXpedi- ton, has come into prominence here again through the refusal of his former congregation, that of Penn broke Chapel, to recall him. The suggestion that the peace advocate be asked to come back to his old pulpit was contained in letter from J. H. Morse, senior deacon of the First Congregational church of San Francisco, and was read to the congregation by the present pastor. the Rev. Donald B. Fraser.
 Mir Morse inquired if the pastor, MT. Fraser is prepared to vacate the pastorate in favor of Dr. Aked, and if Pembroke chapel will recall the peace emissary, adding: T think upon the whole that would be the most complete vindication of Dr. Aked possible, and settle for all time Dr. Akeds status in the Christian ministry" The writer said he would gladly take up the matter with Dr. Aked.
 AS soon as MT. Fraser had fin ished reading the letter, a member of the congregation proposed vote of confidence in the present pastor, which was immediately seconded and carried unanimously.

MEMBERS OF
 LEGISLATURE OF
 THE TERRITORY

The official count of the territorial canvassing board relative to the mem bers of the next Alaska legislature shows that both old parties will be represented about evenly, although the Democrats will probably have a shade the better of it in the house. They succeeded in electing eight full-fledged Democrats to the house. These are opposed by five full-fledged Republicans, one Progressive-Demo- crat and one independent. John C.. Held, the deceased representative from the First division, would have made the sixth Republican. His sue cessor yet remains to be elected
