The Bnau Unit Situation.
There Is a general feeling ol regret
throughout base ball circles In this city thnt
the local management iu'.cud to soil what
ever member of the homo team they can got
thair price for. So far Crooks is the only
man who hns been absolutely disposed of ,
unless the rumored sale of Coonoy yester
day turns out to bo true. However , the
Omnhn management nro not duaerving of
tiny censure In this matter. They put up
their good hard cash to sustain the club here ,
and what have they received in turnl His
unbecoming in those who have sut back to
talk about what they would do under the cir
cumstances , when the munairement raforrod
to were tbo only ones to do tho'r ' share to
ward giving the city Jlrst clusi ball. Now
they nro perfectly willini * to divide the
responsibility and j.rollts with uny
other capltntists or enthusiasts who see
proper to put up a Uttlo of the stuff. Had
the club received the patronage its line work
deserved there Is no doubt but what the
Whlto Sox combination would have boon
kept Intact.
However , there is no occasion for any
npprohcnsion that wo will have no team
next season. That Is a settled fact , and
while It may not como up to the standard of
the nRKi-CKatlon , gl disbanded , it will bo
BtroiiR cnouuh to ( jlvo interesting battle to
nny of the clubs in next year's aroim. The
nucleus for n line team will bo loft over at
nil -events , and the management nre not
niadoof Vho mntorhl to sit.ldly by and not
secure enough additional talent to represent

upon ho diamond. President McCormick
is sedulously at work cmtcuvoriii ! :
to secure ndw grounds , moro accessible and
convenient than the present park , nnd in case
lie succeeds ho declares that no expense will
bo soared in engaging a team that will bo
fully up to the playing strength of the ono
that won' the ponuant this yoar. iiaso ball
fnxtrcms who liuvo been depressed by the re
'
ports' ot it probable dissolution of the local
corporation can brace up under the assur-
nnco'tlmt such n proQcduro is utterly out of
the question. Thuro is going to bo

It IB Denied Tlint Ho Has Upon Sum-
nioncil to Hinnn Ily ttm I'ope.
SBW YORK , Oct. 0. It has been nunounccd
in print several times during thu past week
tnat Archbishop Corrigan has been sum
moned to Rome by the pope. Mijr. Preston
was asked this evening as to the trutn ot
these reports. Ho replied : "Vou may
use my name , and I ara very
plad to have It used ns your
authority for saying that there is
no truth In the reports. According to ono
report the archbishop lius been summoned to
Home in connection with the old case of Dr.
McGlynn. That Is false. Another report
says that Archbishop Corrjgan has ocen re
quested to come to Homo because ho docs not
want to sit in an American ecclesiastical
tribune said to have been appointed recently
by tbo holy father to try local cases , because
Cardinal Gibbons , of fialtnnoru , and
Archbishop Ryan , of Philadelphia , uro
the other members of the tri
bunal. It was said that Cardinal Glnbons
and Archbishop Ityan entertained liberal
views , while Archbishop Corrigan blindly
adhered to the ruling of the college uf the
propaganda. Therefore it was said the arch
bishop desired to bo relieved of his minority
place in the tribunal and was called to
Homo to answer for his disobedience. Tliii
is interesting , but not true. It is true that
there may bo established in this
country n tribunal to try ecclesiastic
cases. This course may ba necessary
in order that the necessity for ap
pealing to Home may in many cases bo
nvoided. The trllmn.il bus not oeun np-
pointed as yet , nnd it is not known hero , so
far ns I know , who may be th'i members of
it. The archbishop has not remonstrated at
any prospect that ho may bo appointed u
member.
"So far ns Cardinal Gibbnni Is concerned , "
added Mr. Preston , "the archbishop's views
do not differ materially from his , und as to
Archbishop Hyun , ho nnd Archbishop Corri
gan are warm personal friends. What may
be the motive for spreading these false
rumors I cannot ImiiRliio. In this matter I
spealc the mind of tlio urchbishop. "

Harney's peak are found the tin deposits ,
which are the subjoot of the present letter.
Northwest of the peak Is Hill City , south

Bontliwost of Rapid City nna some forty

empties Into the South Cheyenne river.
Early m 1875 , the miners who had boon
driven out by the military came Ijnek In
squads nnd soon 1,500 log houses , rainy of
which still remain , were erected nnd the
population of the plnco rapidly grow until
0,000 people hau gathered there. The dls-
rovory of gold in Dcndwood gulch depopu
lated Custcr more quickly than it had been
occupied. This Is the most beautifully situ
ated plnco In the Ulaok Hills. It liosD-100 ,

covered with pines , surround it on every
hand ; and In every direction llo Innurnor-
nblo parks lending into one another for many
miles , in which already are thriving farmers
with an abundance of nil kinds of crops ex
cept corn.
All these heights nro immensely rich in
mineral wealth gold , silver , copper , iron ,
mica , etc. while tin , which bad been sought
for in vain on our continent , is found In
every direction , on hill-top and at the foot
of ravines , encased everywhere with cllt-
tcrlng mica In forms of surpassing beauty.
In 18S4 tin was found in Pcnnlngton county ,
nnd thj > Etta mlno wns stocked In Now
Voric nnd nuout ? 100OOJ were expended on n
stump mill and operators. A year Inter Mr.
11. P. Moore , of St. Louis , found tin In Cos
ter county , and ho obtained 1.030 pounds of
ore , which was smelted In New Yorlt and
produced il.53 per cent of white tin , nmount-
ing to about seventy pounds. Subsequently
further discoveries wore made , notauly on
the Tenderfoot , north of Gustcr City. Drifts
were made on the veins , and it may bo said
that preliminary work has gene , steadily on
since tnat time , nt last reaching the whole
district fifteen miles from Custor north to
Hill City. The lodes are generally massive
nnd well dolincd through their whnlo length.
with largo nnd in many caseo very rich out
crops. The Tenderfoot district is ono of
phenomenal richness on the ton or twelve
veins which have been examined , and thcro
arc about Hill City numerous locations of
rare promise on which u great deal of work
has oeen done.lncludingexpensiveiiiiichiiiory
ana buildings that are now under construc
tion.
In 1SS7 the Harncy Peak Tin company was
orgimi/ed , only nftnr the existence of Blnck
Hills tin had been fully demonstrated by
the boat practical American and English ex
ports. From thnt time nothing la the way
of production has been done. Thoroughly
satisfied with the results attained with the
Imperfect machinery , tue company | ias de
voted itself to the work of acquisition and
development. Thoysomo tlme'aqo shipped
8tOO ! pounds in one lot to England. The
company is now puttipg up reduction works at
Hill City costing ? 150,000. and will erect like
works at Custcr City the coming season ,
which with the Etta mines will bn connected
by n narrow gauge railroad reaching all its
locations. The English syndicate , of whicn
Mr. J. During Gould is the head , hnvo ad
vanced $1,500,000 for the development of the
properties. Tney nrc doing permanent worK
such as constructing tunnels aud erecting
machinery for reducing the ore at ton dif
ferent points , nnd nro actively carrying on
development work at n great , many other lo-
oations , nnd nlready employ over three
hundred cncinoors and skilled workmen.
On the Tenderfoot group , to take an ex
ample , work is advancing rapidly. The dif-
fcrmit veins nre being uncovered , In somu
cases to u considerable depth , and the com
pany are putting up p inminent works at ono
point. Two tunnels have been begun at Tin
Keel , and two on tlio Tenderfoot , where nisi
the machinery for power drills is baing
put in place. It developments go
on as they have begun , plants
for the reduction of tin ere will bo opened
up , and tin will DO produced early the coming
season nt this locality and at , Hill City. The
HSU of the power drills will great oxpcdlto
operations. These drills , like tnoso described
In my letter from thu Newcastle coal mines ,
will effect n vast saving of time , labor and
money ; ono of thorn will drill ten foot per
hour , equal to the labor of leu skilled work
men.
men.Tho principal mines on which operations
are now beginning are the Coates. Cowboy ,
Exolsior and February , near Hill City : the
Etta group on the east side , and the Tin Keof ,
Czar's nnd Dorman's , near Custcr City. A
visit to any of these veins will convince the
most skeptical of the existence of tin alike In
quantity , quality nncl accessibility. The
veins are tynlcal fissure veins ; the ere is
white , making a marked contrast with the
accompanying slates. The walls are smooth
and the ere is separated from the belts by
clear partings. Ono vein which I saw was
from fourteen to fifty feet thick , and it cm
bo traced two miles , in sonio places extend
ing fifteen foot nbovo the mirroundiugBurfnca
1'he company tiuvo in the course of tlntlr
experiments manufactured a , great deal of
metallic tin , equal to tbo boU foreign tin ,
being absolutely free from Iron , nrsenlo and
tungsten , which nro the bane of the Corn
wall tins. The amount of ere obtained in
their experiments bus boon close to 4 pur
cer.t , while tbo Enchsh Blue Bootes give that
of the Cornwall mines us n fraction loss
than 3 per cunt. Specimens of the ere wore
bluppcd from the Tenderfoot two months
ago to the Pans oxposltion that woijhcd
from three to four tons , and which are esti
mated to contain Irani 15 to 20 per cent of
pure tin. In England tin ere as low us %
per cent is worked nt a profit. The veins Ho
on the slope of the foothills , from 50 to aoo
feet nbovo the bottom of the canyon ,
and they can ba worked for n num
ber of years with very Uttlo machinery
for disposing of water , and ut but slight expense -
penso for fui-J. This peculiar location on the
slopes will also aid In collecting the ores
from the numerous mines ut central milling
points by menus of a system or gravity roads
similar to those which arc seen In the coal
regions of Pennsylvania.
The tin ere Is lirst crushed nnd Is then con
centrated to separate the black tin from the
gorgne ; the resulting mass is then molted
directly Into bar tin. The best material , for
melting is a coal which gives u quick , intonHo
hunt , and prevents the loss nf tin by volatili
zation. The coal in the west sldo of the hills
ut Nowcnstlo is , in Its natural stnto , the best
possible material for roduclug the block tin
to a melted condition. Its coking quality
will render it invaluable for this purpose.
Prof. Hailoy , of the Kapld City , Dak. , school
of mines , when ho wa ? geologist for the tur
ritory of Wyoming , made no fewer I linn
eight luindrod teats of Wyoming coals for
coking purposes , nnd ha Informs mo tlmt the

nuis.j The Chase c6unty fair was hold at
Champion lasi weelrl and was a decided suc
cess , nnd oven a surprise to its friends. The
grounds nro about throe-quarters of a mile
west of town , nnd skirted around the north
side by the Frenchman rivor. This stream
is fed mainly by springs , and is clear , pure
water , und Uocs not freeze solid in the cold
est weather.
There U a line flouring mill at Champion ,
full roller process , with a capacity ot ono
hundred barrels per day , and run day and
night does not use nearly all the water.
There nro several more good mill sites with
a line water power for each within n few
miles eabt and west of town. The bottom of
the stream is , for a largo part of the dis
tance , bolid rocl ; . This gives n good founda
tion for a mill dam , nnd the country around
is fertile and largely occupied by an indus
trious , enterprising class of fanners. > ouio
of tlio must roliublo citizens estnnato the
quantity ol corn raised witnin a radius of ten
miles of the town at 300,000 busholsr There
were some rluo sairiiles | of wheat nt the fair.
A test showed sixty-live pounds to tlio
bushel , as tbo best raised in the county. Po
tatoes , onions nnd other vegetables iir , ; nbuti-
dnnt und indicate largo crops.
Tlio old settlers had a meeting Thursday
evening and rehearsed some peculiar renilnis-
cont-es of the early days. Privation nnd
loneliness are the dark shndings of pioneer
grit and energy. The men who have con
quered the wilderness , otm.iucrcd botli Boll
und climate , making this desert ono of the
fairest countries on tbo face of the earth , in
stead of payinfr § 200 for their land , ought to
have a pension. Colonel Champion Chase ,
of Omaha , was also present , and was very
much pleased with the country and town to
which ho has given u uauio.

scene wus witnessed , a lar o crowd having ;
assembled In recognition of TaiB UEE'R stroke
of enterprise , and the huge bundle of papers
disappeared in n twinkling of the oyo. Hero
coal nnd water were taketi , and on flow the
irbri horse.
Central City received her papers on the flv ,
nud no other atop was inndo until
Grand Island was reudioJ at 8:17 , the intcr-
modlato stations being supplied oy Itirpo
bundles tosspil upon the elation platforms ,
and eagerly seized by expectant throngs.

ITU miles , and that that achievement was
abundantly appreciated was attested by the
anxious crowds that awaited the flyer at all

Unptlst chqrch last night , under vho auspices
of the Omnhn UnptUt Missionary union.
The ( nereides consisted of ttio usanl invo
cation , followed by A select rendition by the
Whatloy male quartette. The pastor , Kov.

aflorwhlcn the Rov. T. I ! . Kwlng made an
eloquent nnd touching prayer.
After a hymn In which the entire congre
gation Joined , tlio Kov. A. W. Clark , pastor
of Calvary Uaptlst church , delivered a most
Interesting address upon the subject. "A
Unckwnrd JLook Over the Field. " Ho
sketched rapidly ami lucidly the first discov
ery and exploration of the valleys of the Mis-
ntolppt and Missouri rlvors , and the begin
ning of the llrst settlement Ujwn the site of
what is now Onmha , following up the growth
In population during the succeeding years
and tbo amount and value of the numerous
Improvement * nnd largo bulldlngi.
The growth of the churcho * wxi then
taken up nnd followed , from the llrst sermon
on Nebraska soil by the Kov. Mows Merrill ,
a , Unptlst missionary , In isat , dovyn to the
present day. The history of the Uaptlst de
nomination begins with the Kov. William
Leach , who cnmo hero as n missionary in
ISIw , nnd earned most of hm salary by prac
ticing dentistry. Othur churches were es
tablished by the various denominations , but
they did nut grow In proportion to the in-
crcaso In population. Klnco the estab
lishment of the llrst actual settler
on Nebraska soil In August , 1851 , the
population of Omaha lias Increased to
130,000 whllo the churches hnvo increased
very slowly. There nro only sixty-two
church buildings In Omaha , with a seating
capacity of about 17,000.
The Uaptist church was llrst organized In
ISfO by the Kov. A. S. Barnes , of Now York ,
who , with his own hands put up a small
frame building. In 1800 the church was re
organized under the Kev.W. J. Kermott , ana
n fratna building was erected on the present
site. The present building was completed in
1S80. when Dr. Jameson was pastor.
There are now eight Dnptist churches in
Omaha In good working condition.
Two years ngo last July the Omaha H-ip-
list Missionary union was organized. Asa
result the Buptmt churches In this city have
been brought Into closer relations with each
other ; the sum of § ) } .00i ) has been raised and
expended b\ " the society In city mission work ,
and last , but not least , two Uaptlst churches
have been organized , ono In South Oun.ha
and ono in the northern part of tlio city near
Kountzo Place.
In closing , the speaker made an earnest
anpen' for more churches nnd un increase in
tto scope of the work of the missionary
society.
The address of Kev. Clnrk was followed
by u solo by Miss Lillto Chambqrlaln , after
which the Kev. F.V , Foster addressed the
audience on the subject "Present , .Aspect of
City Mission Work in Omaha , " He re
peated what Mr. Clurk had suid about the
slow growth of the church in Omaha and
appealed to his liearors to do nil in their
power to aid in spreading the gospel and
increasing the number of the churches and
ttio size ot the congregations. He also stated
that there nro now eighteen DIIICOS in the
city at which tlin gospel is preached by Hup-
list ministers , including churches and mis
sions.
At the close of his remarks Tlov. A. W.
Lnmar , the pastor , nnnuunccd that thu con
tributions for the evening iimountod to

Omnlm Almost Certain to Secure ttio
National Convention.
Mrs. Clark , matron of the Open Door , at
203U Capitol avenue , returned from Norfolk
Saturday evening , where she had been dur
ing the week as a delegate to the state con-
vcntion of the W. C. T. U. of Nebraska.
The lady was waited on by n reporter for
Tim Hm : vcsterday und asked if any par
ticular action had been taken by the nsocii-
tion that would affect Omaha
"Tho Omaha delegation , " said Mrs.
Clark , "made : i great stroke , in my estima
tion , when they extended such a strong _ and
cordial invitation to hnvo the national con
vention of the W. C. T. U. held in Omaha.
All of us Nebraska ladies have worked hard
to accomplish that end , nnd I am almost
positive that we will succeed. The Coliseum
is plenty largo enough to hold such a con
vention. The state convention lias already
pledged § 1,000 , and I am satislled that the
clliyens of Omaha will willingly donate a
sufllciunt amount to defray thu balance of
the expense. "
'Who were the Omaha ladies who were
elected to olllcoj"
"Mrs. Watson II. Smith was chosen super-
tondcntofthoduy of prayer1 in tlio week
oT prayer , nnd t was elected superintendent
of the White Cross and tbo White Shield.

ton on November 7.
"You may say , " continued Mrs. Clark ,
"that never before In the history
of Nebraska was there nuoh n per
fect organization to down the liquor
trnflle , nnd the entire state is divided
up into districts , nnd the superintendent of
each district hns boon empowered to nnnolnt
