WORLDS FAIR MINE SOLD.

Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Powers, owners of the famous
old Worlds Fair mine, near
Harshaw, returned to Patagonia
after a trip to Tucson, where
they signed papers giving a bond
and lease agreement with Mr..
Ferry of New Mexico, who is
we'll known in Patagonia. Mr..
Ferry recently left Patagonia
for his home ia New Mexico af-
ter having spent several months
here looking over the ground
seeking a good mining property
for development. He was favor
ably impressed with the Worlds
Fair mine at that time and ask.
ed for lease on the property,
but other parties had an option
which extended over a period of
several months and the property
was not available.
When the other parties let
their option run out, Mr. Powers
Immediately called Mr.. Ferry up
ON the long distance telephone
and asked him if he still wanted
the property. The reply was
yes" Mr.. Powers told him to
come Immediately to Tucson and
the deal would be made imme-
diately. Mr.. Ferry lost no time
in getting to Tucson, where all
necessary papers were signed in
the office of Ritchie & Ritchie,
attorneys for Mr.. Powers.
Mr.. Ferry is a mining man Of
many years practical mining
experience, and his advent in
this district as an operator will
be welcomed.
Mr.. Ferry told Mr.. Powers
that be would arrive by the 18th
of April with machinery and i'm
mediately begin work on the
property.
The Worlds Fair mine has
produced a fortune in silver, and
it is freely predicted by those
familiar with the property that
much mineral wealth lies hidden
in the old mine awaiting the
proper development work to un.
cover it. -Patagonian.

ing systems in the various coun
ty treasurer's offices, and to
ways and means for collection OF
delinquent taxes. It was agreed
by all present that the present
system of collection of delin
quent taxes was unsatisfactory,
but no feasible method of better.
ing the work could be devised
without the passage of further
legislation.
Another important move was
made in the appointment Of a
special committee to guard the
interests of the county treasur
ers during the time the legisla

In the third and deciding game of
their series by the cor of 31-27.
Failure on the part of the Meadow

first eight minutes Of play gave the
fans an early impression that the
game would turn into a farce, but
clever passing and spectacular shoot

down the large lead that the locals

the first half the read 17-13 in

In the second period the local

HALTS BASEBALL GAME,
COLD WEATHER & RAIN

After making D survey Of the

association nine and the Ridgewoods
o. Brooklyn. which was scheduled
to- the Raritan Copper Works field
in this city.
This is the second postpopement
Of the semi~pro baseball opening in
this city, and 1t il believed the &C.
Lcurrence, an unusual one, gives
Ground for a perdiction that this city
will have its greatest semi-pro sea-
son financially and otherwise this
year. Never before. an far as is
known, has a semi-pro baseball
opening here been postponed for two
Sundays.
, The local baseball promoter has
organized one of the strongest mines
which has ever represented this city.
and If he was to take a chance on
q day like yesterday. he could not
expect fans to turn out in large num-
bers. In addition to being cold, rain
started to fall early yesterday after
moor and the ground was Is very
poor condition for a baseball contest.
Inasmuch as two strong attrac-
lions were carded for the opening
games, the Bloomfields last Sunday
and the Ridgewoods yesterday, Man
ager Poulsen has promised that one
of these teams and perhaps the two

will be placed on the schedule for a
later date.
The Trenton nine Of the new At
lantic League is booked for next
Sunday, but 1t it believed the local
pilot would be foo.isA in putting on
SO strong an attraction for the
opener. Against a team OF Trenton's
strength, the local players probably
would over-exert themselves for
their initial regular game this sea-
son and IN this way possibly hinder
their future diamond activities.
With his strong collection of play
ers, Manager Poulsen will go out
after the state championship. In
quest of this title, he will have to
take on the Meadowbrooks of New
ark, Orange A. A, Recreations Of
Plainfield, and teams OF similar
strength. Against these teams the
local players will have to be at their
best and, therefore, too strong a
start may detract from their usual
brand.
A majority of the members of the
local team arrived In town ready to
play yesterday, Bill McGill, Pete
Burnett, Roy Miller. Joe Gingrass.

here since the days he played with
