will defeat the Washburn- Medic team
by an overwhelming score, but surprises
often take place on the gridiron, as for
instance the surprise that the College Of
Emporia gave the Topeka team. The
Washburn-M Medic players have an un-
limited supply OF grit and determina-
ton to draw from, while the Haskell
players have a certain amount of play
in the1Q and can not strain point to
put up little fiercer struggle Nor e
than once WaShburn pluck has pulled q
victory out of what looked like defeat.
The Washburn- -Medics have plenty of
Sood substitutes for all positions, and
many changes may be made in the line
after the game starts.
Lakin is still suffering from injuries and
may not be able to play out the game.

making an excellent showing will go into

GEORGE MITCHELL'S
 MINING PROPERTY
ANOTHER BONANZA UNCOVERED
 IN MEXICO
G. Q. Bison. Agent for Mir. Mitchell, Gives the Review the Facts Work Has Commenced

Gives the Review the Facts
 Work Has Commenced
 E. D. Bison, agent for George Nit chell of La Cananea. came in yester day and is now at the Copper Queen hotel. MT. Elson has been associated with MT. Mitchell for the past year and a half. and is thoroughly inform ed of his widely diversified interests
 In speaking of his mining interests in Mexico, MT. Bison stated last evening that MT Mitchell has re- gently secured a magnificent mining property in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, located in the southwest DOT ton of old Mexico on the Pacific ocean. The property is copper prop osition but carries wei lin gold and silver
 The natural features of the prop erty are very material and excel prob ably any other great property known. A large mountain stream exposes the ore body distance of over sixteen thousand feet and five smaller streams cross the vein flowing into the main stream, showing the ledge to average one hundred and seventy five feet across. The water in pass ing over has cleared away the country rock and surface covering, exposing the sulphide ore to view. The large mountain stream capable of generating at least 1S,000 horse power, will do away with the expense of other power.
 Tn addition to this vast water pow CT there are thousands of acres of the finest pine timber I have ever seen in the republic of Mexico. This will all be easily accessible to the mining property.
 This mining property lies in the midst of two hundred thousand acres of beautiful grazing. timber and farm | ing land which Mir Mitchell has pur- chased.
 The mining property is located about twenty-five miles from Port Ac- apulco, one of the beautiful land lock ed ports of the Pacific coast This port is large enough to float the larg. est vessels and is a general coaling harbor for boats going either north or south. The mail lines pass here and all mail is received here from San Francisco or other points.
 There is force of about forty men employed upon the work at pres ent and of course the force will be increased as development work ad vances. There are at present two Y shafts and two tunnels besides O her workings on the property"
 MT. Elson's description of Mexico is certainly interesting. He is thor oughly acquainted with the situation there, speaks the Spanish language fiuently and is a close observer oi conditions.
