BROOKLYN, August %, 1897.


BROOKLYN, August %, 1897
F. b. Walker esq. Hon. Secretary Wash
ington Chess Club:
Dear Sir: We beg to advise you that the
Brooklyn Chess Club has issued a chal-
lenge to the British Chess Club for another
cable match for the Sir George NewneS
trophy, and that such challenge has been
accepted, the contest to take place early in
1898.
While by the provisions Of the deed of
gift, copy of which we inclose, 1t is nee
essary that the contest be conducted by an
individual club, it is intended that the
match shall be international one, par
ticipated in by the best native players of
the two countries. 1t is in this spirit that
our club regards the matter, and we now
address you, we'll as other leading clubs,
to ask your cooperation in preparing for
the contest. and it may be in bringing it
to victorious conclusion.
We have not attempted to do or deter
mine anything concerning the date of the
match the selection of the players or
other details of the contest, as these are
| matters in the settlement of which We de-
sire the advice and assistance of the other
clubs. In order to recover the trophy it is
certainly OF prime Importance that the
strongest team that the country affords
should be chosen, and in this matter es-
cially We ask your counsel and co-opera-
| ton, and invite suggestions as to how the
clubs may most conveniently act together
| in determining these questions.
Our reason for addressing you at this
early date is that you may be officially ap-
prsed of the impending match, and that
| there nay be ample time for securing
united action and decididng, perhaps in
some cases over The board, upon a team
! who will carry this International contest
| to successful conclusion.
Please advise us frankly In regard to
your views, and with best wishes for the
! prosperity of your club, and the advance
| ment of our noble game, l remain, very
| truly yours,
| STANLEY H. CHADWICK, Secy.
The matter will be laid before the local
| club at any early day, and there is no
( doubt of its cooperation iu the coming
match.
Washington chess players have always
! taken great interest N the cable matches
| between The Brooklyn :.ni British chess
| clubs. and rince the recent cable match be-
| tween the legislators of the two nations,
| that interest has increased.
| The first game in the match for the
| championship of the District of Columbia
| between Messrs. F. B. Walker and W. A.
| Gwyer, jr-, resulted in first blood for Mr.
| Walker. who announced mate in five
| moves. after 81 moves had been made Mr.
| Walker chose unusual continuation to
| the Ruy Lopez. end secured a good posi-
| ton. and the game was slightly in his IA
vor all the way through.
| These games are played at the Washing
ton Chess Club. mostly on Saturday even
| fngs. and visitors are always welcome
| The following is the score of the first
| game OF the match:

Jasnogrodsl1i, at one time state cham
pion. They played three games, the cap
tain captdring the first game, in which he

Something to Know.

It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restor- ing the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centers in the stomach, gently stimulates the liver and kidneys and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for 50c or sl per bottle at H. c. Hitchcook's 's drug store.

Probably the earliest record of n stamp mill is found in Agricola, pub Hshed Tn 1856. He tells of one built in the Harts mountains in 1929, and gives a picture of it. It shows great wooden stems, eight inches square, raised by projecting pins from re- volving shaft. He tells us that the stamp heads were of quartzite or iron. The mortar was trough with stone bottom. The power was furnished by sn overshot wheel. Even up to 1856 the wooden stem was still in use. We remember when it was said that iron stems could not be used because the jar would break them. The old straight cam, scarcely any different from the straight pin of Agricola's day, was in use until alter Colorado's settle ment. One of the first cams of the present shape, if not the first made in Colorado, and perhaps in the United States, was made by J. w. Nesmith, now of the Colorado Iron Works, of Denver. It was made in J. NJ. Mar shall's foundry in Black Hawk Proba ply 90 per cent of the ore crushed in the world is crushed by stamps, and until few years ago good mechanical engineers did not believe any cheaper machine for crushing, or more econom. ical. could be made. Now there are many who believe that properly con structed rolls are an improvement over stamps. Mir. Edison prefers rolls, and many others agree with him. Western Mining World.

THE kLONDlkE OPERATED.

The additional accounts from the klondike region furnished by Mir. John D. McGilivray, the correspond. ent of the New York Herald, mining man of much experience, and who has shown himself to be a careful observer, fully support the views which the Eu. gineering and Mining Journal had pre- viously expressed concerning the Klopdike gold fields and their present and prospective value. MT. McGill- ivray fully confirms our statements that the value of the diggings has been vastly overrated, and the excite ment of last summer and fall was quite unwsrranted. The country is already oyerpopuluted; there are not claims enough in any portion of It which IS known to contain pay grave! to gise newcomers any chance for fortune. The only effect of an additional influx of men into the country in the spring will be to provide an excessive amount of labor and to bring down its price to the bare cost of living. Many of those who are now there will come away as soon as 1t is possible for them to leave, and for the newcomers little or noth- ing remains except disappointment and suffering.
 While the region was first brought prominently into notice by the KloE dike discoveries, it must be rsmem. bered that the existence of gold in the Yukon basin has long been known. For ten years past there have been prospectors in the country, and while few of them have done we'll the great majority have united in the opinion that the climate, the barren nature of the reglon, and the extraordinary diff entities in the way of prospecting ren- dered it almost valueless as mining country. In region where gravel must pay S5 cubic yard in order to meet the cost of working, the prizes are necessarily extremely few.
 The statements of the correspond ents AS we'll as those of the Alaska Trading company have also fully cor roborated our estimates that the gold thus far brought out this year does not exceed S2,OO0,0 900. The wild estimates of S9,OOO,O0O or S1O,OOO, 900 which were at first made, have been grad ually shrinking How much will be obtained i'll the future is, of course, a matter of pure conjecture. Doubtless the region will be worked for years to come, and n considerable amount of gold obtained from 1t, but the labor and money expended will be out of all proportion to the return, and we have no hesitation in repeating our con clusion that fur better opportunities for success and profit are offered in California, Colorado aud our other mining states than in the Klondike.
