to the delay caused by I he incle

the week intervening since, a
number of the Fats have fallen
down in weight to the Lean class,
while a number of the Leans by
being careless and altending wed

to the rotund bunch, with the re
sult that Ihe managers are ex
periencing considerable difficulty
in sorting out their players. It
has also been decided that those
who are t<»«» fat for any use will
be impressed as umpires, and
those who have become ton lean

MUCH WORK ON
THE NEWSBOY
Five Hundred Foot Drift Started
to Give Air and Safety
to Miners
Tunneling litis been started uu
I In* I I 5-fool level of the Newsboy
lowanl I lie head of Cleary creek.
The plan of the manager is (o
connect I he Newsboy shaft with
I lie MrOillviray-Kfsticr shaft on
the Xewslioy extension, thus se
curing an air outlet, as well as
adding to the safety of the un
derground workers of both minus.
In I lie Newsboy, three crews are
being worked in the mine to sup
ply ore for the stamps, as well
as lo hasten the uncovering of
the ore body. One crew is slop
ing from the 115-foot, level, an
other is tunneling toward the
(bleary slope, while the third is
busy sloping from the 215-foot
level.
K i.«, believed that the dislancc
between the two shafts is about
500 feet, so that nt I he present
rate of driving, it will take some
time before the shafts are con
nected. However, it is the plan
of McOillviray & Fisher, as soon
as they get their shaft on the ex
tension down to the 115-foot lev
el, to start a tunnel from their
side as well.
At present I he lessees on the
extension are devoting all of their
lime to tunneling al the 05-foot
level, in order to get as much
ore as possible opened up before
the mill starts to pound.
