Seeking tbe ssGreat Father,,,

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 20.-The Jour- nal's Bismark, Dak., special says: The h. dians on the Sioux reservation are now be- coming anxious to form the acquaintance of General Harrison. They realize that he will soon become the "Great Father" and they desire to meet him and present their claims regarding the proposed opening of the reser- vation. They want to visit him before he is inaugurated and the agents will be greatly annoyed by their importunities unless their request is granted.
 A citizen of Bismarck has letter from a prominent congressman saying that nothing can be done with the Dakota bill until the homa territory is disposed of, because the latter precedes it on the calendar. This is regarded here as a subterfuge on the part of those who oppose the admission of Dakota.

ANevv Method of scoring Needed.

New Method of Scoring Needed.
 Now that all the best polo players are in
 this league, it would seem as if new system
 porters, one by which each player will get
 credit for what he does, the same as in base
 ball. As the scores are now compiled none
 but those who take the rush, those who cage
 the ball and the goal tend get any credit. Henry Chadwick, the well known base ball writer, had occasion to score polo in New
 York last season, and from what he saw of the game he wrote an article on an improved method. He said:
 tsI would recommend 6 revision of the scoring rules of polo, so as to give the figures of all the good plays made on the published scores, which is not now done. In order to encourage "dribbling" and passage special credit should be given in the game to players who excel in these features. The player who passes the ball to the nan who draws it into the cage should be given the credit of an as- sistance, just as the shortstop is in base ball given in throwing runner out at first base. Then, too, every player who makes @ good try at goal when the ball is well stopped by the goal keeper, should be credited with the record of Ca try at goal, ," and the goal keeper be credited each time he keeps the ball from entering the cage. The way I score the game includes the record of the appended points of play: Rush, taken by; try at goal; assists at goal; ball, caged by; defense of goal; times at goal"
 In the early days of base ball the scoring was crude, but since then it has reached g point where every play of the game is record ed. If polo continues as the principal winter sport in New England the scoring must be different, whether now or at f1ture time In the score, besides the points MT. Chadwick speaks of, might be added the "blocks" made 1 by the center and the half-back. At pres ent they never get credit in the score, nc | matter how brilliantly they play. Such s | system of scoring would stimulate the play \ CTS to pass and do better work fn general. Il would serve to put stop to rough playing ing, for if play CT knew he would get credit
 in the score for a pass or assist at goal, or at back, he would be much more liable to work
 for it than to try to play roughly. We now
 have referees who will stop all slugging, and
 as the league has seen fit to elevate the tone ! of the game in this respect, polo reporters I should at the same time elevate the method of scoring so as to bring out every scientific point of the game. The COURIER would like to hear suggestions as to a new and uniform method of keeping score.

Lord SackvIIIe,1 anctIon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The sale of the effects of Lord Saekvills was continued at the British legation to-day, as was the case yesterday. The articles sold brought gene rally more than they were worth. 4 consid. erable quantity of silver and plated ware was first sold, and the hotel men were the best bidders. The contents of the stables were then sold. Everything which was marked with a coat of arms or looked peculiarly Eng fish brought good figures, sometimes two or three times their real value. A team of dark brown horses which were said to have cost $500 Q short time ago, but which had no dis tinguishing monogram, however, brought only $370. The double harness they vote, covered at every available place with the Sackville crest, brought good price. After everything in the stable had been sold the wines and cigars belonging to Lord Ssckville were put up at auction and the bidding on them was spirited and brisk.
 At o'clock the auctioneer closed the sale and announced that the books and pictures which remained would be sold at the auction rooms. It. is estimated that at least $7,00( was received from the sales

The Scheme Given Away.

The Meriden Republican has given away the polo scheme in that city. It seems that Reilly and Sands are still the managers, but they do not want people to know it. Last season the polo games came Saturday and as It detracted from the business of the mer- chants they objected to it and then retaliated on the Journal, of which Sands and Reilly are editors. The latter thought, by appoint ing Lucas as manager, that no one would know who was the real power behind the throne. Another word about Sands and Reilly. Wouldn't it be manly more gentle manly if they should cease their attacks on Vaillants When Cunning played in New Haven the Journal never could speak badly enough of his playing, while now, being a member of the Meriden team, there are net adjectives enough to praise him. The great> encomiums were always given Valiant by the Journal when he was on the Meridens; now the proprietors are venting thesr person al spite on him. It is to be hoped the Jour nal will treat him with more respect here after.

 This is not at all discouraging. The Meri- dens have been practising for week past and are in better shape than the New Ravens. But the latter team played much stronger game than here Monday night. Perry and Connors rushed and the former has added strength to the rush line. Only one fonl was called by Referee Stumcke and that was on Dunning for rough playing. He and Cunning ham rushed.
 One of the prettiest plays of the game was when New Haven made the first goal. Vail- lant rushed down the rink, passed to Con- nors, who returned to Valiant, the latter caging it.

ArteSian Wells I'm SOnOma.

A few weeks ago, according to the
Weekly Bulletin, ga fine flow of excellent
water was struck at depth of ninety
feet, on lot little to the east of the
town of Sonoma, belonging to Mr.. Gil
bert. The next attempt was made at
Mr.. Wrinkles vineyard, when at depth
of eightytwo feet flow of 10000 gal
Ions per day was obtained. The tools
were then moved about 15O feet south to
the lands of j. Gundlach, where still
greater success was met with. At q
depth of one hundred and ten feet flow
Of 100000 gallons per day was reached.
Both these wells are located in the loot
hills, considerably above the level of the
valley and supposedly in very unlikely
place to find such result. The tools
penetrated successive layers of sand,
rock, and clay, the water being found
below the latter. The water comes out
with considerable force, and will over
flow pipe twenty feet above the sur
face. The fortunate owners of these
wells consider them worth not less than
$4,000 apiece. The temperature of the
water is constantly ~ deg. F., and what
is remarkable is that it is exactly the
same as that of several springs on the
other side of the valley, four or five
miles away. Many of the farmers and
fruit growers of the valley are arraDg-
ing to put down wells"

MissOuri's Iron Mountain.

There have been sold from Iron
mountain 3, 600, 900 tons of ore, says a
letter to the St. Louis Globc-Democrat.
But there is in sight today more ore
than James Harrison saw when he came
here forty-odd years ago and
figured out fortunes for himself and as
sociatea
The product exceeds 8, 900, 900 tons.
The more exact figures are 3,OS5, 900
tons What does this mean in dollarsl
1t Is hard to say. But there has been
times when Iron mountain ore was
worth $40. so ton loaded upon
the cars 1t is even remembered that
once car load made up of picked ore
brought SIS ton. This was an extra
lot wanted for some special work at
Peckham's Klmmswick furnace, and it
brought an extra price. The bulk of
the product has gone at 50, s. aad 81,
with prices now ranging still lower.
Perhaps, for rough estimate, s. ton
may be taken as fair average. That
means $25, 900, 900 for the product.
Early operations were primitive. The
ore was picked up from the crest of the
mountain in chunks, trundIed down the
mouataia side on tramways, and loaded
on the cars ready for shipment. Pick
and shovel dislodged the masses. GRAY
ity furnished the power, for the loaded
car gong down pulled tho empty one
up. That was picking up dollars. One
workman was good for six or eight tons
day. Ore was worth 50 and SO ton,
and 100 cars day left the mountain for
the furnaces.
There were periods when the ship
ments went over 1000 tons a day. and
every ton meant S. bill to the stock
holders. A net income of $4,000 a day!
A profit of SIS, 900, 600 from s25, OOO,-
900 gross income.
And yet here stands the mountain to-
day, reduced in size, SCARED and fur
rowed and tunnelcd, with moro ore in
sigh. than there was in 1914.
