COMPANY TO DEVOTE ENERGIES
TO DEVELOPMENT OF OREBODY

Mr.. Charles was asked for an ex-
preston of opinion as to the wisdom Of
building the big mill at Fay. II would
rather. not say anything about it," he
replied. The company was operating
the mine according to the best judg-
ment of the directors of that time and
differences of opinion probably exist ed
even then. While l was not interested
in the mine at that time and know little
about the management, yet from wha-
do know it seems to have been q
meritorious undertaking. The money
..put into the mill was not raised from
the sale of stock to the general public
and the money put in by the owners
was at least spent in the purchase Of
| the best equipment it was possible TO
buy. 1t is, however, more in line with
modern mining methods to spend
money underground at first rather
than on the surface. and the new COM
pany Is working in harmony with that
idea. We will get rid of the present
equipment as fast as it is possible to
dispose of 1t and the new company will
| devote it's energies to the development
of ore. The problem of new equipment
| will be taken up when the facts neces-
sary. for a sensible solution Of the
problem are gathered in the progress
of the mining work"

LARGE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL

Mr. Charles Is a Nevadan, born on
the Comstock lode in 1878. and grew
up In the mining atmosphere. His
father was one of the most successful
private operators of the early days ara
out the state. Mr.. Charles took up
mining work naturally and gained ex-
perience in many parts of the world.
Operating in Africa and Central Amer
lea, yet most of his experience was
gained in Mexico, where he is still
heavily interested. He sold the Pachu-
ca tailingS some years ago and was
subsequently fiattened in the Mex
lean revolution, during which he lost
$4,000. He Is now large owner In q

Municipal League
Organized; to Play
Amateur Ball Only

The directors of the Omaha
Amateur Athletic association held
closed meeting last night in Rec
reation Director Isaacson's office in
the city hall. All but two of the
directors of the association were
present. The meeting was mainly
talkfest regarding amateur base
ball conditions for the coming year.
The plan was advanced, and
adopted unanimously, that a NUM-
cipal league be organized for the
coming season, open to all base ball
teams playing on municipal dia-
monds, that cared to enter. No
players or class of players will be
barred, provided they play on NUM-
cipal grounds. The Municipal league
will not couptenance playing on en-
closed parks or anywhere an ad-
mission is charged.
1t was agreed that at another
meeting to be held shortly, a conf
mittee would be selected for or
ganizing the new league. Jake
Isaacson was appointed chairman OF
such a committee at last nights
meeting, but the other two members
were not selected.
Chairman Isaacson stated that
this was not to be construed as a
blow at the Greater Omaha league
or any other league in the amateur
association, that Greater Omaha
PLAYERS would be as welcome as
any others to play in the Municipal
league but under the proviso that
all games will be on municipal fields
and not in enclosed parks.
This leaves it open for the players
and teams wishing to play in en-
closed parks to form an indepen-
dent organization of their own and
it is likely that the Greater Omaha
league members will take advantage
of the opportunity and form the
proposed semi-pro league.

Coach Mulligan' S Men
Ready to Take Revenge
On South Side Squad

With Art Paynter declared in
eligible to play with the Central
high squad, Coach Muligan is re-
lying upon mere grit of his men to
trounce South Side high at
4 o'clock Friday afternoon on the
Y. NJ. {. A. floor.
The Central high men are all in
tiptop condition, despite the wallop
they received Saturday from some
five Lincoln boys. South Side was
defeated by Fremont last week, but
is in trim shape for fray with Cen
trail high.
The game is the only local high
school event this week and is the
only afternoon game this season.
Floor fans are already looking
ahead to the state tournament to
be played in Lincoln, March IS
and IA. Central, South and Com
merce high will each enter teams
in class A. while, the Deaf Institute
hippers will enter in a lower class
Lincoln is regarded as probable
champ again this year. Newman
Grove high, whom Central barely
disposed of last year, has a veteran
team and is said to have as good
chance as Lincoln for the 1919
ribbons.

FULTON HAS new
MANAGER; after
DEMPSEY AGAIN
Heavyweight PIaSterer Sc
cures Services of Parente
of San Francisco; Cites
Knockout Cases.

The heavyweight plasterer-boxer,
Fred Fulton, has secured a new
manager, Louis Parente of San
Francisco, and his new manager has
already issued challenge for a re-
turn bout with Jack Dempsey. Pa
rente cites a number of one-round
Knockout cases after which the one
knocked out came back and defeat
ed the winner in return bout.
Declaring that Fulton can beat
Dempsey in another bout, Parente
is doing his utmost to secure such
a match. He wants Fulton TO meet
Jack and the winner meet Willard
for the title, but he has probably
overlooked the fact that Dempsey
is already signed up for a bout with
Willard and according to the terms
of the contract cannot box until
after the Willard bout takes place.
If Fulton can come back and beat
Dempsey it would sound better il
his manager would wait for the
championship battle and challenge
the winner or Dempsey, win or lose.
Should Dempsey win, Fred would
then get a crack at the title; if not,
he could demonstrate whether he is
a worthy opponent for the cham
pion or not in a bout with Demp-
sey.

''Pa" Rourke Returns
and is Pleased With
Result Of Meeting

Upon his return from St. Joseph,
w. A. Rourke of the Omaha base
ball club reports that he is well
pleased with the Tearney election
and the way other matters were
handled by the magnates at the
league meeting. Pa is particularly
pleased at having two fine holiday
dates awarded Omaha, Labor Day
and Decoration Day.
The league reins will be handed
over to the new president in Chicago
today, E. ]. Hanlon having gone
there for that purpose. Mr.. Tearncy
is i'll at his home in Chicago and
was unable to attend the St. Joseph
meeting. The magnates believe they
have a great man at the head of the
Western league this season.
The southern cities of the league
are greatly interested and predict a
pennant winner from that end of the
Omaha will open the season
in the south, another pleasing feat
ure for Pa Rourke.
Local fans may be disappointed at
not being able to see the opening
game of the season, but Mr.. Rourke
believes they will be amply repaid
by much better games later in the
year, the team being in much better
shape than they would be by open
ing here, in the cool, rainy north
weather.
Manager Jackson will report
March q instead of April 1, as was
first reported. Rourke and Jackson
will get their heads together as soon
as the manager gets here and lay
their plans for the season. Contracts
will be mailed and new material
sought.
