horseless road vehicle and bring into
competition the inventive genius of
various countries. Makers of these mo-
tor machines were represented from
Germany. Paris. Chicago, Cincinnati,
Kansas City, Dayton, New York, Ra-
cine, St. Louis, milwaukee,. Rockford.
Quincy. Columbus, Ohio. Hartford.
Grand Rapids. Decatur and other
places.
The race started from Halsted street
and Fifty-fifth street boulevard. The
carriages were started at intervals by
the judges. so that there was no con-
fusion at the beginning. All sorts of
motors were in line. The noisy steam
carriage We'd with the quiet petroleum
vehicle. while the principle of gasoline
and electric propulsion did not want
for representatives. The body or box
of the carriages were varied. Some
were small, compact concerns, others
looked like a carryall. In some the
brake was worked by foot-power. in
others by hand. Some had three seats,
others four, while again there were
those with only the accommodation of
Daisy Bells bicycle. The distance to
Waukegan and back is 100 miles. The
time limit a month ago was put at 10
by gasoline, made 1t In nine hours, thir-
ty minutes. After leaving this city by
way of Garfield and Humboldt Parks,
the route was by the Chicago and Mil
waukee gravel road through Niles

ON OLD PRINCIPLE.
The adage that there's nothing new
under the sun receives fresh exempli-
fication in this case. Everybody seeing
the start said, Wonderful. what an
age of progress" ignorant of the fact
that a horseless carriage was construct
ed by an Englishman named Quincy
in 1927. with the purpose of improving
on the cumbersome mode Of transpor-
ia lion afforded by the old English stage
coaches. Had not steam been success
fully applied to tramways a few years
later. 1t is probable that Mr.. Gurney's
invention would have made much more
noise in the world than seems to have
been the case. As 1t was, the machine
was tried few times In Regents Park,
London, much to the curiosity of the
beholders, and was then put aside, 1t
having been found that when coke and
water had been provided sufficient to
last for an hours trip. there was very
little room left for passengers. The
length of the vehicle was Is feet, and
with the pole and pilot wheels 20 feet.
The diameter of the rear wheels was
i've feet, and of the front wheels three
feet nine inches, and of the pilot wheels
three feet. One curious arrangement
was a set Of propellers. which moved
like the legs of horse. The propellers
were used in going up hill.
The judges of the competition today
were General Merritt, u. s. A., assisted
by Colonel Ludington Professor John
Barrett. city electrician of Chicago, as
sisted by l.. l.. Summers, and Henry
Tinkem, president of the National Car
riage Builders Association, assisted by
c. p. Kimball. The Smithsonian insti-
tute of Washington was represented by

TIE eLknoaN NINE EXHAUSTED

Managers Have DeslAed TO Abandon tine
Famous Property.
Helena, Nov. 2S.-The owners of the
Elkhorn mine, which has for five years
been one OF the greatest gold producers
in Montana, have announced officially
that the mine will be abandoned after
period OF three or four months work
from the present time. The company's
determination has been expected by we'll
posted mining men for some ume past, as
IL was matter OF common ruInor that
the immense ore bodies that have made
the property famous were growing scan
tier every day. But the ofiiciai determine
ton of the company was only today made
public in q circular to the stockholders,
In which 1t says:
For many months past the directors
have watched with anxiety the continued
unfavorabie reports from she lower levels
OF the mine, in hope that more promising
developments would ensGe, but AIR. sloi-
son has at last been forced to the conc!u-
sion that the ore bodies which have prov
ed SO productive on the upper levels.
have become too narrow ana low srace
TO permit of their profitable working or
to Justify further exploration or the
mine in depth. The conclusion was only
arrived at after long anu careful consider
alton"
Mr.. Nelson is of the opinion that the
reserve ore in sight represents about
three or four months working at the
present rate of production, and that after
this has been extracted the Elkhorn mine
must be considered as exhausted. The
company does not intend to go out of the
business of mining, however. 1t an
nounces that plan of reorganization will
be presented at an extraordinary meet
ing of the stockholders" at the London
office this month. The company proposes
TO purchase three mines in the East Fryer
Ilill district. at Leadville. Col, for So.
600 pounds sterling, in cash. and to carry
on the operations OF the company as be-
fore.
The Elkhorn company has paid to its
stockholders the. amount of capital stock
and ~ per cent additional, which will
have been equal to 10 per cent per annum
since the beginning.

winners. Early in the month the race
was to have been run, but as the manu-
facturers could not get ready 1t was
postponed. Several horseless carriages
went over part of the course In sort
of trial, but the exhibition was a sorry
one, motors giving out and going
through numberless tantrums before
the race was over. This time the man.
ufacturers promised to be In complete
readiness. Every effort was made to
give the contest an international aspect
and to make 1t copy of the great
Paris-Bordeaux race. which few
months ago set the vehicle world a talk

The purpose of the contest was to
