COLLEGIATE FIELD DAY

The seventh annual field day of the

day at Santa Monica. The Southern Pa
cific people have built q new sprinting
track and put the field in good shape, so
that the college men hope to establish some
new records At the colleges the field
sports divide interest with the war news,
but the teams are training steadily for
the meet.
Pomona college will enter a strong ag-
gregation, and hopes to again win first
place, as she has done in the past. Her
men are Lamb (50-yard dash) Avery (1OJ
yards and 220 yards, Tairchild (440-yard
run), VOORHEES, (mile run), Wharton 020-
yard hurdle and high jump Sloan (pole
vault), Aplin (hammer throw, Hayes (shot
putt and Gordon (mile and two-mile BIZ

The Chaffey team expects to secure the
trophy with the 50, 100 and 22O-yard dashes,

THE WHEEL

Jimmy Michael has been compelled to
give substantial security to the American
Cycle Racing association that he will full
fl his racing engagements this year. In
consenting to take part in six contests dur
ing July and August he was forced to give q
bond of $4,000 az an evidence OF good faith.
Promoters, judging by Michael's partial
ity for riding horses. might at any moment
forsake the cycle path to become a jockey.
Under the conditions of his contract to
meet any Of the American or foreign riders
in series Of paced match races from fif.
teen to thirty-three miles, he will be forced
to pursue bicycle racing as a means of live
lihood this year.
The move of Charley Murphy in applying
for place on the police force suggests
new field of activity for ex-cycle racers,
says the New York Sun. A man like MUIR
ply In the bicycle squad would be valuable
for stopping "scorchers" within a short
distance. whereas 1t Is often the case that

law breakers the bicycle policeman be-

more than ordinary pluck and muscle. Such
men would be exceptionally valuable in the
case Of runaway horses, and II the force Of
wheeling officers was recruited from tho

track a high degree of efficiency should be
attained. Murphy has filed his applica ton

filed There was change in judges A.

A match race between Romeo ana John

days ago and won by b. o. Drown, who Is
convinced he has world-beater, although
the dog is now not in condition. Later in
the season he should be heard from, unless
he is retired to the stud.
The program was the best Of the season
so far. All the dogs entered were especially
good ones, and in the ties they were pretty
equally matched. The raoe between B. d.

ly every one, as the latter dog Is generally
a winner. but B. B. q B. made one Of ths
finest runs Of tho day, and afterward, in his
course with Doncaster, he walked away
with the honors. Another dog which at-
tracted considerable attention was Sam.
It was rumored around the track that he
was an AL crackaJack. and so It proved, as
he beat two Of the favorites and came In
pretty close to first money, but Lady Wal

Lone Pine District

LONE PINE, April "a. - The Rip Van
Wrinkle nap of this semi-Latin hamlet of
Ihyo is quite likely to be broken in the
near future. Felix Meysan, son of one of
the earliest pioneers of the place, has lately
discovered an immense gold ledge within
mile of the town. Lone Pine nestles
against the midcenter of n peculiar range
of hills known as the Alabama hills, which
run east and west, parallel to the Sierra
Nevadas at Mt. Whitney. Young Meysan
has spent much time and money during
the last three years prospecting in all d.
rections from Lone Pine. Impressed by
the fact that the Uncle Abe mine, situated
about three and half miles northeast of
the camp had been a constant producer
when worked, he conceived the idea of
q careful search between the town and this
old-time claim. Last month his venture
was rewarded by the discovery of a well
defined ledge, easily traced by unfailing
surface indications for $500 feet from a
point one mile northwest of Lone Pine
over in the direction of the Uncle Abe.
This lead has been thoroughly investigat-
ed by the locator and well prospeoted for
distance of about 1000 feet. A shaft down
about twenty-five feet near the center of
value. Competent judges place the aver
age width of this mammoth ledge at forty
feet for nearly the length of three claims.
Assays show an average value of IS per
ton, which, in connection with the favor
able location in reference to natural facili-
ties, makes 1t one of the most desirable
Of properties for a company looking for
permanent. profitable investment. Ample
water for all purposes Is less than quar-
ter of a mile distant; timber in abundance
is within six miles of the claim. From the
fact that extremely rich ore-milling over
s1O0 per ton-has lately been taken from
the Uncle Abe at a depth Of seventy-five
feet, with all surface and other conditions
similar, the Meysan group could scarcely
have better neighborhood credentials.
Mr.. Meysan has named his late find of
claims Gironde. o. X. and Handy, respect
lively. In addition to the facilities already
mentioned, 1t may be added that a good
road leads to the group from the town of
Lone Pine. He has also located fine mill
site near the group.

The Latest From Randsburg

RANDSBURG, April 23.-Work on the
excavation for the stamp mill at the Little
Butte mine is being pushed rapidly. The
machinery has been ordered and will soon
be here.
Several men are at work on the Black
hawk mine taking out ore, and a milling
is soon expected.
Adjoining the Blackhawk is the o. K,
owned by A. c. Burcham. He has ten men
at work and has uncovered three-and-a-
half-foot ledge, running from $35 to $50 per
ton. The ore is peculiar in character, and
at first glance does not impress one favor
ably, although Mornings carry grains of
gold as large as a common PIN head, be-
sides much fine gold.
G. M. Rose has just had ten tons of ore
from the May Queen milled at the Eureka
mill. The returns show $50 per ton.
The Butte mine has kept five stamps of
the johannesburg mill dropping for the
past two weeks.
Charles A. Harney, formerly Of the Hard
Cash mine. has recently returned to San
Francisco from Dyea. He does not speak
encouragingly Of the outlook for miners In
Alaska
The leases Of the Sister mine have just
had thirty tons Of ore milled at Cuddy-
back lake. At the present depth Of the
shaft the ore runs from SIS to SIS per ton,
and Is growing richer.
Twelve tons Of ore from the Merton and
Blackboard claims have recently been
milled at Cuddybaok lake, the ore running
$12 per ton. Although the ore is low grade.
the ledge Is about seven feet wide and
makes up in quantity what it lacks in
quality.
J. J. Donovan recently gave a bond on
a quarter interest in the Golden Sheaf to
Messrs. Mckenzie &Long for $500. At the
time the bond was given the ledge was
narrow and the ore low grade. but since
more development work has been done the
ledge has become wider and tho ore high
grade.

of the machinery and lumber Is on the
ground and work from this on will be
pushed as rapidly as it is possible to do so.
The company hopes to have it's assay
office ready for work within two weeks,
when 1T will be ready to quote rates to
the mines and mine owners.
1t is the intention of the company to buy
the ore outright, thus doing away with
the dissatisfaction which exists among
miners as to the mills not saving as high
a percentage as they think they should.
The mill will have a capacity of from $50
to 200 tons per day. and the managers
would be glad to hear from miners having
ore they wish to dispose of.-Los Angeles
