THINGS "ain't what they used to
be" at Wrigley Field The
Chicago Cubs pitching staff,
L once the pride and envy OF the
big leagues, has been reduced to a
bunch Of guys named Joe. And Old
Man Injury Jinx is laughing up his
sleeve
Things were sad enough when
Tex Carleton, the top right-hander,
Clipped an elbow bone in Spring
training. Then Curt Davis, of whom
big things were expected since he re-
covered from his stomach ache of last
year, developed q sore arm.
But the bottom dropped out for
Manager Charley Grimm and his pen
nant hopes yesterday when Larry
French the only southpaw of class,
made a stab at a liner from the bat
OF Ernie lombard and fractured
three fingers on his gloved hand. Not
only did the Cubs drop a 1913 de-
cision to the rough house Reds from
Cincinnati, but French took a hos
pital bed alongside Carleton and
Davis and may be laid up for two
months.
This trio won IS games last year.

turn will be as simple as that.

They point out that last year Myril
Hoag was playing left field until his
skull was fractured in a collision with
Dl Maggie. 1t was only then that
Jake took over regular job.
Now Hoag is back and a doubtful
quality. But the Yanks are stringing
along with him. It's part of the
rehabilitation theme to play Hoag and
show confidence in him. And if
Myril comes back Powell may have
to wait longer than for warmer

DullS Cubs Chances.

or THE hurlers still on tap, Bill
Lee has shown little or nothing:
Roy Parmelee is anything but man
ayers dream; Charley Root has seen
better days, and the others are un-
proven youngsters.
All OF which adds up to a terrific
black eye for the Cubs pennant
chances. Although it's much too
early to be eliminating them. the
class shown by the mound corps of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose game
with the Cards was rained out yes-
terday, and the New York Giants
who dropped 80 tilt to Van Mungo's
three-hit pitching for Brooklyn
seems to leave little hope for the
1885 champions.
But as has been proved year afte,
year, anything can happen in base
oall. For instance, the Detroit Tigers
had couple tough pitching breaks
when their top two tossers. School.
boy Rowe and Tommy Bridges, were
sldellned with ailments.

patra. They sold it to Taylor g. Pease
who later disposed of it to the Hecla
company for $65,000. Bannack men
struck the Sheep and the True Fissure
mines. All eventually became the prop
erty Of the Hecla company.
The Hecla company then erected a
25-ton Snelter 10 miles below the Hecla
and the camp of Glendale sprang into
existence. John Longley ran the first
boarding house there. 1t stood upon
the site Of the Caravan house, which
John Caravan erected later.
Teams and wagons hauled the ore
from the Hecla NINE to the smelter, at
one time so teams being engaged in the
work. Later a tramway was built. The
smelter and the concentration were
burned and 50-ton Smelter was con-
Structed to replace the old one. The
concentration was built six miles nearer
to the mine thus cutting down on the
necessary hauling
Hazardous Work
The old Hecla tramway which car
ried the ore from the base of the noun
tain to the concentration was the scene
of many thrilling rides. The tramway
was four miles long. A brakeman rode
each car on its downward trip, and was
supposed to retard the speed 50 the cars
would remain on the track. But many
times they jumped off. The ride was
especially hazardous in the winter
time, even though the track was COW
cred with snow sheds most of the way.
Mules pulled the cars back up to the
ore house at the base of Lion mountain.
The ore was moved from the mine,
high up on the mountainside, to the
loading chuteS below, in buckets car
ried along on cable. The mountain
was steep to the Cleopatra mine, and
rope was strung along the trail to en-
able the miners to pull themselves up
hand over hand. Al one time there was
O flight of stairs at the steepest part,
so nearly perpendicular that it re-
Sembled ladder. 1t was burned, how
ever, and was never replaced.
The workings of the Cleopatra mine
were intensely cold. The miners who
worked there wore heavy gloves, cloth
ing and overShoeS. That made it I'M
comfortable for the miners, but was
advantageous to the owners, in those
hammer and drill days, for the boys
had to keep hitting the steel in order to
keep warm. The production from the
double hand teams was particularly
heavy, for the man who twisted drill
for Is minutes was anxious to get his
circulation started again when it came
his time to swing the double jack,
and thus operations were we'll nigh
continuous during a shift.
The single jackers labored under the
same disadvantage. They had to keep
whanging away in order to keep warm
There was no draft in the mine but

Fatal Crash of 1886

A collision that came near parallel
ing a fatal accidet of 1896 at Hamilton,
occurred on the Riverside bridge of
highway 90 recently.
Troy Mckinney, a Corvallis farmer,
told Sheriff James Olivia he had loaded
a roller on his truck with the tongue
toward the rear and as he was crossing
the bridge the roller shifted so that
the tongue struck bridge beam and
swung around to strike a car driven
by Miss Jean Gordon, who was travel
ing toward Hamilton.
Mckinney was enroute to Corvallis
Some damage was done the Gordon
car.
The 1885 accident resulted in the
death of Miss Leone Rose, Woodside,
after a road machine on a truck had
struck its blade against bridge sup
port and toppled over to crush the
car and injure Miss Rose and her COM
panion, Esther WetSteon.
