H. V. White Esq., responded by
referring to the fact that it is said that
the stopping of the work of the indus
tries, would cost the town from ten to
twelve thousand dollars, but even if
this were the case it will be a beuefit
to the industries and to every business
in town, either directly or indirectly.
If there is to be any criticism of the
program let it be done now, or to the
committee at any time. Dont go out
on the street or in public places and
find fault, but go to the committee
and say what you have to say, and
make your objections squarely to them.
When the finance committee calls up
on you, don't put them off, but be pre
pared to do your share at once.
The chair called on Rev. J. D.
Smith who said he had been thinking
of an extemporaneous speech for
several days. He amused the audi
ence by his humor and was frequently
pplauded, as were all the speakers,
and closed with an earnest appeal for
the success of the celebration, and
paid a high tribute to Bloomsburg,
and urged that a lasting monument be
left to mark the first hundred years of
our beautiful town.
J. C. Brown arrived late from a
school meeting, and being called up
on said that he was pleased with the
attendance, and with the spirit with
which the movement was being re
ceived. He could see now nothing
but success, although some felt some
misgivings at first because there seem
ed to be a lack of enthusiasm, but that
fear had passed.
Dr. Welsh announced that an of
ficial envelope was being prepared,
and every business man would be
asked to use them.
After music by the band the meet
ing adjourned.
THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
Too Much for the Bankers and they go
Under to the fune ol 28 to 18.
The " typos" and an aggregation of
young men, known as the .Hankers
had a gala time on Normal Athletic
Field Saturday afternoon. It was a
wild, dazzling attempt at the ' great
game of base ball, and maybe it
wasn t a dandy. For one hour and
forty-five minutes eighteen men jump
ed about, and furnished enough fun
to stock a half dozen farce comedies.
The teams lined up as follows:

That s the way
out.
The wind up was a delirious dream,
and entirely beyond the writer's ability
to describe. The audience was not a
large one, but we believe that every
person who attended received their
money s worth, in fun, beside having
the satisfaction of knowing that their
contribution will be devoted to the
fund which will be used to properly
celebrate Bloomsburg's one hundredth
anniversary.
The Bankers started in as if they
meant to wipe up the earth with their
opponents, and scored five big runs.
On a large and gorgeous error Achen
bach managed to net to first. Ritchie
saw something coming toward him
which resembled a balloon and struck
at it, when he recovered conscious
ness he discovered that he had made
base hit and Achenbach had scored.
There was a bunch of rank errors, and
Ritchie scored. This should have
ended the scoring but Strohm posi
tively refused to have anything to do
with the third strike, and as a result
every base was occupied by a banker.
Here Strohm thought he saw a chance
to catch a man and threw the ball.
He intended to throw it to second
base, but instead it went in the direc
tion of the clouds, and before it re
turned two bankers had scampered
home. The other six innings were
very similar to the first, only the
Bankers were not quite so much in
evidence. Before closing we wish to
state that Hehl and Low, who were
counted on to do the heavy -'stick
work for the Bankers, both on two
different occisions, smashed three
larire holes in the air, but did not
touch the ball.
When the smoke of battle cleared
away the Printers nad 28 runs ana
the Bankers 18. As stated above the
game was to raise monev . tor tnc
Centennial fund, and on Monday $21
was turned over for that purpose.

extent and importance; that it is very rich seems to be proved by the fact that the only mine
opened on this estate, the famous Stonewall, has yielded from the surface to a depth of six hund
red (600) feet, probably over Two Millions of Dollars ($2,000,000), more than Nine Hundred
Thousand ($900,000) Dollars of which was taken out during a period of three years and four
months. This record has been verified by the books of the Bank, in San Francisco, to which the
bullion was shipped, and by the United States Mint in San Francisco. We give below the detail
of this very remarkable record, which, competent authorities state, might have been greatly ex

Mr. Wilson writes, under date

'These ngures are not only absolutely correct as verified by the United btates Mint returns at &an rran-
cisco, but we can increase tnese ngures previous to January, isss, it you desire us 10 00 so. in my researcn

a little ten stamp mill; February of that year $21,492.00; then in 1885 running but a little time only, $75,000.00
more was taken out. I have invited here the Statistician of the United states Mint, Mr. ale, to lookup
further history. It seems that this Mr. Yale, as a young man, worked as an assayer at the miue away back
in early days. From the croppings at that time he took away about one hundred pounds of very rich ore
showing free gold largely (so he says), which he brought here to melt up
4 He has that ore now and I presume if the parties who are promoting the sale of this property wished
it, it could be obtained at its value. It seems to me it would be a great thing to have it, because what I ara
saying to you is entirely reliable and authentic.
"You may think I have delayed, but you do not know the amount of effort I have put into this since
the receipt of the draft which you wished me to sign, and herewith enclosed. I could not, nor would I, affix
my signature until I knew these figures were exactly correct."
This mine has not been worked since the death of the late
estate caused prolonged litigation, from which the estate has

July, 1890, during which time only an old 10-stamp mill was in use. The full capacity of such a
mill would be thirty (30) tons for each twenty-four (24) hours, and if worked continuously, during
the time namea, me amount 01 ere nanaiea snouia naye oeen aoout twenty-seven tnousand (27,000)
tons, thus showing an average value per ton for the ore of about Twenty-four Dollars (24). This
is extraordinary, and perhaps unequalled, on a strictly free milling proposition. Nothing what
ever was done with the tailings, under the old management.
Col. S. II. Lucas, our General Manager, states strongly his belief that he can so open up the
Stonewall mine as to block out, during the next eighteen months, sufficient reserves of ore to
enable him to work continuously a 40-stamp mill which would have a capacity of one hundred
and twenty (120) tons per day, which, at the same average, as is shown in the past, would mean
the production of Twenty-eight Hundred and Eighty Dollats ($2880) per dav in gold. As the
operation of a stamp mill is practically continuous, barring accident, it is safe to figure on three
hundred and fifty (550) working days in the year; this would show a product of One Million and
Eight Thousand Dollars ($1,008,000), equal to 17 per cent, per annum on the entire capital stock
of the Company, from a single mine, out of the dozens that may be discovered on the property of
this Company, to say nothing of its otjier great resources.
