those who were enthusiastic enough to
care nothing for atmospheric conditions

FAILS TO BREAK HIS RECORD
Cresceus Unable to Lower His Mark
in the Speed Trial at
Poughkeepsie.
(By Associated Press.)

6 Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug .9.-About
i, 900 people were disappointed in the ex-
hibition by Cresceus yesterday after
noon. Paced by running horse and
driven by his owner, George H. Ketch-
am, the champion went his mile in 2:06
IA. He started shortly after o'clock
after Mr.. Ketclam had driven him
three warming up heats.
On the trial the running horse picked
him up on the quarter which Cresceus
made in 81 IA seconds. He went to the
half in 1903, to the three-quarter in 1875
IA and to the wire in 2:O6 IA There
was little applause when the time was
posted. Ketcham said to the Associated
Press correspondent:
my horse did the best he could under
the conditions. Neither the weather nor
the track was favorable to record break
ing speed. The latter was soft and l
was obliged to pick the horses condition
all the way.
"The time is in no sense reflector
on my horses condition and / think he
will beat his best when he meets The
Abbott"
Asked what he thought of the chances
| of Cresceus in the contest with The
| Abbott Ketcham replied:
! why, have every right to think my
horse will win of course. In saying
this, however, do not mean to be under
! stood as holding the other horse cheap.
| The Abbott is a wonderful animal and
splendid race horse. 1t is no exaggera-
J ton to say the contest at Brighton
| Beach next Thursday will probably
produce the three fastest heats ever re-
corded in trotting race"

Hopes off for Des Moines.

Hopes, the amateur, who has been
riding at the saucer and who last night
took first honors in his class, left for
his home in Des Moines, Iowa, imme-
diately after the races. Hopes came
to Butte to spend a short vacation and
while here decided to enter the bicycle
races. He was more successful than he
expected and is so much encoura ged by'
his wins that he seriously contemplat9s
giving up his position in Des Moines and
returning to Butte to race. Hoopesg is
a clever rider, with a pretty style and
is popular here. His work was abb
solutely clean and he had no kicks COM
ing when he was defeated. -

There have been numerous cases
in which claims have crossed each

veins. The prior locator has held
the surface, but the other has held
the right to follow it's vein through
the ground of the prior locator,
the latter being entitled only to

many controversies over veins

on which the original location was

Harry Cone was up from Lucille
Saturday and brought the good
news ofa very rich strike in some
placer diggings opposite Lucille,
owned by William Crandall. The
ground in question is big high
bar at the mouth OF Cow creek.
A drift was run into the gravel for
distance of 200 feet, at. which
point they sunk to a depth of
eight feet, striking a few inches of
cement gravel, underneath which
was bed of soft gravel, 80 full Of
water that it was impossible to
sink further. In this gravel the
rich strike was made. A few
shovelfuls of the gravel sufficient
to fill three pans was stopped up
and after washing the same the
handsome sum of 1890 was real
lied in coarse gold, some of the
grains weighing 30 cents. The
distance to bedrock is not known,
save that it is pitching off, and
lending support to the theory that
the gravel lies In the old channel
of the river or some stream tribu-
tary to it which has been covered
up for countless ages. This dis
covery will lead to renewed activity
in prospecting these high bars in
that famous region, which in times
past has added largely to the
wealth of Idaho county's gold pro-
duction.

Mining Revival In Warren.

The outlook is moro than PROM
Using for scene of active mining
operations in the old mining camp
Of Warren, in the southern end OF
grand old Idaho county. The
reorganization of the Little Giant
Mining Company has been UNDER
taken by firm Of solid brokers in
New York city, and in addition,
other operations are promoting
tunnel syndicate, having in view
the tapping at great depth Of Ave
OF the best known mines in the
camp. The name of the tunnel
syndicate is the Western Trust &
Development company, with Offices
at 20 Broadway, New York, and
also at Salt Lake City. All the
interests in the Lucky Ben and
Rescue mines have been transferred
to McCune, of Salt Lake, and q
tunnel is now being run on these
mines for distance of 500 feet.
Arrangements are pending where
by this company will also control
the Mammoth group, and the en-
tire holdings of the new syndicate
will be under one management
and the entire property operated
with a view to the economical de-
velopment Of the whole. The.
promised boom in the big copper
camp southeast of Warren will also
largely promote the prosperity of
old Warren, and it need not sur
prise anyone if the long deferred
boom in mines should take hold of
that section in good earnest this
season. There is plenty Of money
available for mining operations in
eastern speculative ccnters, and
from the best information which
reaches us, old Idaho county will
get all of her share of il.
