The Eureka Hill mine, with its l,3o9-
foot shaft and many miles of drifts.
has been shut down, and the history
of one of the richest and most interest
ing mining properties, not only in Tin
tic district and in Utah, but in the
great mining region of the Rocky
mountains, has been written to the last
chapter.
1t was in 1870 that the first location
was made of the group that has since
yielded many millions in silver and
gold. lead and copper ores. The claims
were but 200 feet wide, as prescribed
by the mining laws then in effect, and
almost from the first extraction of ore
dissensions occurred among the owners,
in which shotguns and a stone fort
played prominent parts. In the cTeViceS
which came to the surface on the zig
ridge running down from Eureka peak
to the town of Eureka were deposits OF
horn silver of fabulous richness; great
bOUlders that could easily be pierced
with knife had broken off and rolled
into the gUlCh below, and $40, 900 worth
Of this rich float was gathered up
and shipped.

the hands of the Eureka Hill Mining
company This corporation for some
time confined its IaboTs to the high
grade deposits near the surface. At
that time the nearest railway station
on the old Utah Central, was several
miles distant, and the richest ore was
transported in sealed whisky barrels
accompanied by a guard. Many car
loads reached the market that netted
the company 81 a pound.
As in the case of many other rich
mines. disputes arose that were fol-
lowed by legal battles The first of
these occurred in 1874. and is referred
10 briefly by the United States COM
missioner of mining statistics. Ros-
sitter W. Raymond. In his annual re-
port to the government, Mr.. Raymond
says:
The Eureka Mining company's prop
erty was sold by Messrs. Lawrence and
Whitney to Captain +. B. Ward and
other parties in Detroit, Mich, during
the year. The representations of the
vendors in regard to the value of the
ores not being borne out by the subse-
quent mining experience of the new
owners, Mr.. Ward has taken legal steps
to recover the money paid for the
property, so far without favorable re-
suits"

The public of San Francisco. through
the board of supervisors. did a wise
thing last week when they turned down
the proposed fight between Sharzey and
Kid Mccoy. II all the cities where box
ing bouts are permitted would follow
the same course and turn down each
and every fighter who has taken part
in a contest that savors on the fake or
der the lighters themselves would take
mighty good care that their actions in
the ring were above reproach-
Without a question, Mccoy killed the
sport in New York and. a few months
later, at Chicago, after boxing had Sc
cured fOothOld and was beginning TO
be looked upon as a fixture, with no
chance of public disapprOvaI Cans. at
the solicitation Of his manager, Al Her
ford. laid down to Terry McCiOVern and
Mayor Harrison Immediately stopped
the game.
Undoubtedly Mccoy, in seeking a
night with Sharkey, did so for the pur-
pose Of trying to Teinstate himself with
the sporting public, but evidently the
San Francisco public are not DESTROYS
of having him begin the work of refOr-
nation In their city; in short. they are
somewhat ''leery" of the Kids pretend
ed good resolutions. This is as il should
be, and if Mccoy is really anxious to
regain his lost reputation. let him be-
gin at the bottom again and win pub
lie confidence by good honest work.
and be mighty careful that nothing
happens in any of his fights that will
permit of the least suspicion.
As an evidence that Columbia Uni

TO clean athletics and that the faculty
committee intends to control matters in
future. the disqualification of the mem
bers Of the hockey team from partici-
patton in athletics in the future on ac-
count Of a violation OF the faculty rules
IS significant. The hockey team was
refused permission to play a game at
Pittsburg during Christmas week. but
made the trip anyway, under another
name. The faculty committee held that
this wassa violation Of the rules and
suspended the entire team. Nearly all
OF the suspended athletes are members
