Charles r. and Porter W. Fleming Of
Tucson, Ariz, arrived there from the
Galluro mountains, where they report
remarkable gold discovery. The rich lind
is located seventy miles north of Tucson
and the vein of ore, according to the
Flemings, is 200 feet wide and 5000 feet
in length. A canyon cuts through the
vein for 200 feet, exposing the ore on
either side the entire length of the cut.
The Fleming brothers assert that from
the bottom of the canyon to the surface
the outcroppings of ore will run from So
to $1,000 to the ton. They estimate the
amount of gold in sight at the enormous
sum of 100000. The Tucson Star
is authority for the statement that the
story told by the Fleming brothers is au~
thentic, and that it has verified the facts
as above given.

from eighteen knots for the first leg to

ried across lower New York bay, kicking
up whitecaps in every direction. Over
the first leg of the course, fifteen miles to
leeWard before a heavy wind, Shamrock
outsailed Columbia and turned the outer
mark forty-nine seconds in the lead. On
the beat home, however, and in lighter
weather, the defender cut down this adj
vantage, and passed the challenger. tor
an hour she held the van with Shamrock
only little astern. When the wind be-
came lighter and fuky the positions were
reversed. Then Columbia went on the
port tack, heading for the lightship, while
Shamrock went about on the starboard
tack and took the lead moment later.
Thursdays Race.
The Shamrock had the kind of wind her
owner wanted, the kind of course sup
posed to be best for her, the kind of sea
wherein she foots the best, and she was
outsailed and outpointed by the Column
bia. That is the substance of the story
Of race No. 2. The even going Of the
yachts, the conditions of wind and wealth
er, the wonderful skill whereWith they
were handled and the uncertainty that
until almost the finish hung over the out
come give this struggle a heroic aspect
beyond all other races for the cup.
When the start was made the Sham
rock stood out to sea nearly a minute and
half in the lead. The story of the way
In which the Columbia little by little
reduced this lead is one of the most ex-
citing in modern yachting annals. On the
last leg Of the course, with the goal in
sight, it finally succeeded in coming up
with it's rival and ovcrtaking it in the
fastest of all races for the cup. At the
finish it was three minutes and thirty
five seconds in the lead.
Often hitherto in the history Of the cup
the end Of the contest has seen the Amer
lean yacht at the finish line and the chal-
enger just visible down the horizon. Only
once before has there been a logged inch
by inch fight from start to finish and
that once was when the Defender, Grip
pied by the Valkyrie's foul in 1895, fought
with broken wing over thirty miles Of
6ercely disputed sailing.
She is wonderful boat, the Columbia
and the Shamrock's owner may think it
no shame to be defeated by the finest
creation Of the greatest modern boat de-
signer, sailed by a captain like Barr.
whose skill amounts to genius and man
ned by those quick-witted, swift-heeled
Deer Islanders, the greatest sailors in
the world.
