For nine long in­ nings players of both outfits met heavy stickwork with infield and outfield play that was as airtight as Amy Dow’s most porous seive and errors were nearly as thick as boos as Miners charged on to un­ disputed victory over the old has- beens at the rate of about nine or 10 runs per inning. Miner Manager Leonard Hall twirled for his team, allowing 12 safe hits, two of them home runs, walked seven and disgraced five players by fanning them. Ernie McIntyre, who started for Mer­ chants, turned mound duties over to Ben Coffman in the fifth, Ben passing the buck and ball over to Verne Cantrail in the eighth, after Snoose Osborne smacked out a triple. Home runs were scored by Tooley Williams, Virgil Swanson, Howard Latimer, Ben Coffman and Si Johnson, who smacked two for the day, while Henry Demmer made the biggest steal of the af­ ternoon by sneaking off the dia­ mond just before game started for Roseburg, leaving Merchant Man­ ager Viv Beach there with his re­ maining players, a handful of boasts to make good on, and a broiling sun and Miner pitcher bearing down. Game started off in first inning scoreless for Merchants, but fruit­ ful to the extent of nine runs for Miners, who were blanked in next stanza. Merchants got their second win in third inning, combining three errors, a walk and a home run into a trio of scores, while Miners got but a pair in their half.

Number 34 KEI’T BUSY AT PACIFIC STATES MINE One of southern Ore­ gon's most Important mineral developments, the Pacific States gold mine near Jack­ sonville, has been a hive of activity In re­ cent months as shafts are lx-lng drilled to depth of Jackson county's quartz seams for the first time In their history.

It is electrically powered, entirely automatic and is housed in mill shed, requiring only occasional attention for maintenance by the regular mill crew. Development at the mine, formerly known as Opp property and once )s»asting a 20- stamp mill, is being carried on by Pacific States Mines, inc, ami employs a crew of more than 25 men.

Medford Merchant Pays Fine Here for Short Weight Sales When dried fruits shrink, that is an act of Nature, but when a storekeeper forgets to reckon with shrinkage, and continues to sell packages marked to weigh more than scales will tip. that is an act for Jacksonville's justice court, learned George R. Witters, man­ ager of Safeway store No. 41, in Medford, last Friday. Witters, when brought before Justice of the Peace Ray Coleman, plead guilty and paid fine of * $25 and $4 50 costs. According to testimony, lodged by Joseph V. Tompkins of the state bureau of weights and meas- ures, Witters had been warned about shrinkage of packages of dried fruit some time before, and advised to resack the product. A check of Medford grocery stores by the bureau last week resulted in the arrest. As much shortage as five ounces in a two-pound sack was discovered by the investigator, according to the complaint.
