Zacatecas, Mexico, Sept. 15.-Engi
neer Ramon Barrios Is surveying ,
group of claims in the Chalchihuite'
district for Apolinar Rodriguez, WHIT
recently discovered a vein of silver
lead ore in the Nungano mining camp
He has filed on four contiguous
claims WHICH he recorded with tn
mining agent at Sonibrerete. under thu
title of Ell luton.
A perpendicular shaft is to be sunk
on the property in order to fully de-
velop it. .,
Francisco Lara, Miguel Andradt
and Ismael Nunez have entered into
partnership to work la, Encantada
property in the Sobrerete district.
This mine is composed of foui
claims, traversed by a strong vein OF
ore carrying good values in gold, sill
yer and lead.
FL Boleo mines. situated at Con
cepcion del Orc. in this state, have
been acquired by A. Sandoval Of
Saltillo.
The properties are in the Refugio
mountains and produce ores OF silver
lead and copper.
They have been worked off and on
for many years but have been idle
since the revolution.
Procopio Cantu has been prospect
ing in the Quemados mountains near
Mazapil and has located some new
claims, among them being the Aguila
group of six claims.
The surface ores carry silver and
lead with considerable zinc.
1t is believed that with sufficient
depth profitable shipments can be
made.
Heavy rains in the mountains have
hampered ore shipments somewhat in
various parts of the state.
Some Of the rivers and arroyos are
flooded to such an extent that ore
wagons cannot cross and in places
the roads and trails have been washed
out and must be repaired before they
can be used.

Polo Grounds Raady.

New York, March .3.-Several in
teresting facts concerning the extern
sive improvements now being made
at the Polo Groands were revealed
yesterday by Charles A. Shoneham,
president of the Giants. who returned
several da,s ago from a visit to
Cuba. According to Mr.. Stoneham
the entire task of renoyating the his
toric enclosure will not be completed
by fhe time the worlds champions
open their home season with the
Boston Braves on Thursday, April 26,
but there will be seating accommoda-
tons for approximately $4,000 fans
on that date. When the job is fin
ished there will be $4,000 seats.
There has been no serious hitch in
the work now progressing at the
Polo Grounds" said Mr.. Stoneham,
land we are rushing the work for
the opening game. We will have
room for at least $4,000 fans when
the Giants play their first home
game. The whole job will be COM
pleted by the time the team returns
from its first western trip of the sea-
son, toward the end Of June. BY
that time we will have seating ca
pacity of $4,000. In view of the fact
that New York fans prefer to sit in
the grandstand rather than in the
bleachers. approximately 80 per cent
of all the seats will be in the COW
cred stands. The bleachers will have
q capacity of only $500.

Gibson Is Aiding.

Tampa, Fla, March 23.--George
Gibson, former catcher of the Ma
tional league, who almost won pen
nant for Pittsburgh in 1921, is now an
American Lacquer after years of serv-
ice in the older organization.
Gibson was signed by President
Griffith as assistant to Manager DOME
Bush, and the move is certain to
help the Nationals
Bush, making his debut as big
league manager, is sure to profit by
advice and suggestions from Gibson,
who has had a long career as player
in addition to that of manager.
However, Gfbson's greatest value
TO the Washington club will be in the
development Of its pitchers. For
years Washington has suffered as the
result of mediocre pitching. At pres
emit pitching looms UP as Bush's great
est problem.
Gibson is working with a bunch OF
youngsters, some show much promise,
others seem a bit removed from big
league class, in need OF more exper-
fence.
WeeQlnS OQL pltCHlHB SLdA Is d
problem these days, because the draft
question makes it very difficult
matter to place youngsters who have
promise. With existing conditions
between the minors and majors, it is
practically necessary to pass final
Judgment as to whether a pitcher
should be retained or cut loose.
No doubt the judgment Of Gibson
will have much to do in solving the
pitching problem. In his day there
was no better receiver than Gibson,
and the Bush Gibson combination
seems destined to prosper.
