With splendid weather conditions, play for
the open golf championship OF the United

Harry Vardon was not nervous, although
he and his partner, Willie Smith of Mid

but he "putted like a lassie," as the ex-
pert player himself said Vardon was out
In 40 and in in 39 total of 70. David
Bell of Midlothian made eighteen holes in

the remainder of the route. Willie Smith
totaled 50.
After luncheon the contestants began on
the second quarter of their tasks. Those
who withdrew their names from the list Of
starters were DR.. Adams, w. c. Carnegie

Last night, when the play was half fin
fshed, Harry Vardon. the British exponent
of the game, led by one stroke. On his
trail was John Henry w. Taylor champion
of Great Britain. Americans and Scots
were practically out Of the running. The
sentiment attached to nationality is wiped
out however, by the fact that now the two
greatest exponents of the game will fight 1T
out alone. The beautiful precision of the
game was never better exemp1ified than in
yesterdays play. Each Of the leading play
ers propelled ball over seven miles of turf,
swung their clubs not in company but in
different parts Of the links. and made their
totals differ by but a single point Vardon's
score was 157, while Taylor made the thir-
ty-siX holes in 15S. The cards of the prin-

GREAT TROTTING EVENT.
Boralma Wins Big Stake I'm Record

Boralma, the great son of Boreal and
Earalma, for which Thomas w. Lawson
the Boston millionaire, paid 81, 100 on the eve
Of the Kentucky futurity last year, won
for him yesterday. at Lexington, KY, the
Transylvania stake, the classic event Of the
trotting turf.
Lawson won on the race $6S,O0O. The
race itself was worth nothing to him but
the glory, as he handed his share of the
s.. 900 to Secretary Wilson, with instruc-

The winner took new record, stepping
the second heat in 2Os fiat, which is
three-quarters Of a second faster than his
former record
The first heat was marred by an acci-
dent. but fortunately there was no i'll re-

the judges decided that the accident was
unavoidable and allowed all horses to start

to land the big event.

Of the recent tournament were lined UP

champion tennis player of the District and
the former champion Of the south, easily
defeated Geoghegan, the best man Of the

tory for the champion, but the second fur
nished the only real contest Of the match,
as Geoghegan was at his best and made
the champion extend himself to win out
by two points. In the third set the cham

and won about as he pleased. The figures
for the three sets were GO, 81, 6-3.

a prior geological period, marked by the
river


THE placer deposits which exist here are
very similar to those existing in the Klon-
dixie. 1t will be recalled that gold was first
struck along the creeks, and that later 1t
was found on the hillsides and traced to
Gold Hill, French Hill and Cheechocee Hill,
these hills representing positions of an
cient channels which had not been removed
to the creeks below. This being the case,
see no reason to doubt that during the
coming winter when prospecting can be
done with the aid Of thawing machines,
these channels will be located, and next
season will see a very largely increased
production.
Future Remains to Be Proven.
In conclusion, would say that In my
opinion, the future Of this district remains
to be proven, with the chances largely In
favor of its becoming in the next two years
a very great producer, and that this produc-
ton will be due to the bench claims rather
than the creek claims, as Is in a large
measure the case in the Klondike.
MY estimate of the production up to this
time Is 81 800 600, with the chance Of In
creasing this production before the end Of
the season, to $1,000. 600.
ION my return to Washington I will make
you a complete report the methods OF
mining. illustrated by pictures taken here,

rate estimate Of the gold produced through

Mckinley Hears the Returns.

CANTON. o., Nov. 7.-President Nc
Kinley received the election returns last
night at his home surrounded by a large
number of his old friends and neighbors,
including many ladies, who came as the
guests of Mrs. Mckinley to share with
her the interest and excitement of this
eliminating event of the campaign. Di-
rect wires connected the house with the
Republican national headquarters at New
York and Chicago, with Senator Hanna
at the Union club in Cleveland and with
the home of Governor Roosevelt at Oys-
ter Bay, so that the president was in con
slant telegraphic touch with his associate
ON the ticket and with the campaign
leaders. The president made his head
quarters in his library, where most of the
gentlemen guests congregated, while Mrs.
Mckinley entertained the ladies in the
parlor. The president was in his usual
good humor, showing no signs of anxiety
over the result

being the size of his majority. With
practically complete returns from the
city he has Il majority here of about
6.500, while from the state scattering

that the Republicans have elected four

remaining two will probably be Demo-

He said that as the result of his dis

tablets are histories of times before Ad-

the documents so back as far before

Nippur's civilization was nipped in the

Woman is often referred to by man as
"doubling his joys and halving his sorrows.
That may be complimentary but 1t would

in plain terms it means that where things arc
