to details regarding work that is be

The Oold Coin is one of those min

cordingly enjoined the Gold Coin peo
ple and tied them up. The case went
to the circuit court and Brown was
beaten, but the supreme court re
versed the lower court's finding and
Brown was on top.
Then the mine owners conceived
the idea of building sluice dams,
which they did and began operation
again. Shortly after this the mill
burned, greatly to the surprise of the
owners. Naturally the Gold Coin
people turned first one way and then
the other, scarcely knowing how to
start or what to do. The ledge carry
ing the values Is a decomposed gran
ite formation and a final investiga
tion 'proved that It could be washed
down and placered instead of milling
it. This was tried and proved satis

the operation. A 12-mile ditch Is
about one-third completed and con
tracts have been let for the remain
der of the work.

TEDDY CAN SEE NO
HARM IX SUNDAY BALL.
Boston, Mass., Oct. 2. That resi
dent Roosevelt can see no harm in a
Sunday baseball game Is evidenced
by the fact that he has turned down
a petition of the W. C. T. U. asking
that he prohibit baseball on the Sab
bath among the soldiers of Fort
Banks. The women representing the
association were notified today
through the ndjutant general of the
army that both the president and th
war department agree that the uol
diers need the exercise that a ball
game furnishes and therefore Sun
day baseball will not be put under
the ban.
