The Giants Uuderstand Tha Qam- Normal's victoiious march was twice arrested this week. The much exploited Philadelphia Giai ts, dropptd into Bloomsburg at a late hour Mon day and remained here until Wednes day morning. In the interim they took Normal into camp in two some what ragged, but none the less inter esting games. The Giants fully sus tained their reputation as ball plaers of the first cl.tss. They can all field well, they ?te excellent batters, they can run bases like fiends, or the ma joity of them can, they are tip to all the tricks of the game, and they have a trio of pitchers that any of the big I eague teams, were it not for their ncial incongruity, would be proud to possess. All these go to make up a combination of qualities that are de cidedly hard to beat. A noticeable feature of their play is that just as soon as the ball is hit every one ot them is on the jump. They take things cool and know just where to throw the ball when they get it. In short tneir ability to play the game is interminable. In the first game they won chiefly because of the inability of Normal to hit when hits ment runs. Bell, the twir'.er was an enegma to the local batsmen. His method of delivery was new to them and he would shoot them across the base and get a strike or two on the Normal boys before they could realize what happened. Normal's playing was not up to the standard by a good detl. Hays had an off day and so did Reighard. They couldn't handle ground balis at all, and missed nearly every thing else that came their way. (.aptam New ton in the hope of bettering things, shifted his men, sending Reichard to left fie"l atu Lewis to second, but it was too late, the scoie was 5 to 0. Tuesday's game was a comedy of errors, with Lewis as the leading actor. He is a good player but is out of his position at second. This has been demonstrated to the satis faction of all, and it is quite likely that in the remainder of the games he will be found where he rightly belongs, in left field. the batting ot botn teams was heavy, but the Giants would "always connect with Shaffer s curves when men were on bases. They scoted 19 hits, among them being two two base hits and a home run. Normal banged out hits, but they didn't count like those of their dusky apponents. The contest ended with the score 15 to 13. The audiences were the largest of the season, many being present from Berwick, Danville and Catawissa.

Siti West portion of 3an Diego County, California. . ) Fan Francisco, San Francisco National .Bank. Company's Hankers in Calilornia, J Lqs Angeles, Broadway Bank and Trust Co. Principal F.eastern Office, Continental Trust Building. Baltimore, Md. Pnoo Whir sharcs in the Cuyamaca Ranch and Mining Company may be expect. JLVCclSOnS VV liy C(j to y-lc a greater profit than any other equally substantial invest ment now offered. The Company owns thousands of acres ot mineral ground on tne great luotncr Lode of California, which has produced more gold in the past fifty-three years, since the discov ery of gold in California, than any other gold bearing formation in the world has ever yielded. This great gold belt runs through the property ot tins company iui uuuuuwcivc mut nmu huiui to South. It is doubtful if any other Company in the world owns gold bearing territory of equal 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 (6oo) 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 peiiod of three years and four months. This record has been verified by the books of the Hank, 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 ceeded by different management : San Francisco, Cal., March 3, 190.2 13. Packiiam, Jr., Ksq. Treasurer Cuyamaca Ranch and Mining Co. 618 Continental Trust Building, Baltimore, Md. Dear Sir : Replying to your inquiry as to the output of bullion from Stonewall Mine, the books of the bank show that there was received the following amounts during the months and yeats stated, prior to the death of the late owner . January February March April May June July August September October November December 18SS 18S9 1890 4 months in 1891 Total for 3 years and 4 months $909,442 31 (Signed) JAMES K. WILSON Trustees for (Signed) L. I. COWGILL THE SATIIER BANKING CO. (Now San Francisco National Bank.) Mr. Wilson writes, under date of March 3rd, as follows: "Have spent several days with the people of the United States Mint here proving our figures, to which you wished me to affix my name. "These figures are not only absolutely correct as verified by the United States Mint returns at San Fran cisco, but we can increase these figures previous to January, 1888, if you desire us to do so. In my research es at the Mint, between 1880 and 1885, I have already found$iS8,958.oo; $20,466 output January, 18 o, from a little ten stamp mill; February of that year $21,492.00; then in 1S85 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. Yale, 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 and make a present to his wife. "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 am 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 owner, as the insolvency of his estate caused prolonged litigation, from which the estate has been extricated and an absolutely perfect title vested in this Compay, who will now proceed to work this mine, which is perfectly equipped with a 20-stamp mill in perfect working order, and all the necessary machinery for pumping, hoisting, etc , and will also begin immediately, and prosecute as rapidly as possible the exploration of all the gold mining portion of the estate, and to develop its other industries. The value of the Company's ground, for gold mining, is also proven by the large number of mines, opened in the same formation, in the well-known mining districts of Banner and Julian to the North, and by the development of equally productive mines to the South of the Company's boundaries. Accurate accounts of the details of the operations of the Stonewall mine and mill are not obtainable, but the record in the Bank shows that Six Hundred and Fifty seven Thousand, Sixty Dollars and Thirty six Cents ($657,060.36) of value in bullion was produced from January, 1888, to 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 named, the amount of ore handled should haye been about twenty-seven thousand (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 nine, out of the dozens that may be discovered on the property of this Company, to say nothing of its other great resources. The complete Official Prospectus of this Company, handsomely illustrated, giving the Direct ors and containing full reports on all resources of the Company, and detailing its plans for develop ment, is now in press, and will be furnished, on application, to those'contemplating investment.
