7 TONOPAH CAPITAL
Purchase and capitalization Of the
Yankee Blade Mines..WiII Become
Great Producers.

Messrs. T. L. Oddie and F. j.
Siebert OF Tonopah have purchased
the Yankee Blade group of mining
claims, which are situated about four
miles from Austin, from James Cas-
sitry. This group embraces three OF
the most valuable claims in that
district. The ore of seven different
lodges runs from $50 to $500 per ton,
while the late owner has taken out
ore which after hauling netted him
over IS, 900 per ton, besides nnmer-
Gus shipments of 5000 to $500 ore.
They are located only four miles from
the railroad, and the cost of shipping
ore to Salt Lake amounts to about
90 per ton. Cassitry has sunk two
niBety-foot shafts, but was forced to
quit ON account of water. Within
ninety days the company will have
hosting and pumping machinery on
the ground and will begin system
atical development.
1t is the intention OF the new
owners to incorporate the property
under the name of the Yankee Blade
Mining Company, with capital of
1000, 900 shares at par value OF VI
each, non assessable. Only 100, 900
shares of treasury stock will be sold
for development purposes.
Messrs. Simpson g. Young, mining
brokers of Tonopah, will be sole
agents for the disposal of the stock.

do so a new era for Tonopah will

FIFTY MAY ENTER
Eastern and Western Tennis Ex.
perts to Come to Minnetonka. "
TOURNAMENT OPENS JULY 2s
Gives Promises of Being the Most
- Successful Contest Ever Held
. ~-s In the Northwest. ~

The northwestern tennis tournament at
Lake Minnetonka the week of July 28,
promises to be the most successful in
point of number of entries and extent of
public interest that has ever been held
west of Chicago. ... . 49,. p
From present Indications, the number of
entries will be at least fifty, which will
necessitate a preliminary round to mar
row the field down to the thirty-two pre-
scribed for the first round. Eighteen or
twenty men will enter from the twin
cities. Harry Belden, the former cham
pion, is the one who is expected to bring
the title back to Minneapolis, If the feat
can be accomplished at all. q i
r .Clapp, the St. Paul boy who was the
runner up in last years contest, is ex-
pected to enter again, and Charles Hale,
Trafford Jayne, and George Belden will
represent the "old guard" of local crack
players, while James Lawrence, Ralph
Gillette, Guy and Claire Wyman, will be
the flower of the entries from the younger
generation of tennis experts in this city.
The western and eastern cracks also
will be representedin goodly numbers
when play opens at Deephaven two weeks
from Monday. Waidner, Snow and Col
lins, the best of the Chicago men, with
half a dozen others of scarcely less prom
inence from the windy city, are expected
to be on hand. Little, the tri-state cham
pion, is another expert who will probably
be present, and, with men from MilWau-
kee,t Omaha, and Ohio, the list-of outside
players will probably number thirty.
An effort will be made by the sports
committees of the Minnetonka club, Under
whose auspices the tournament will be
given TO secure entries from some Of the
best high school players of this city and
st. Paul. Desiring to do everything pos
sible to stimulate interest in tennis the
members of the committee realize that
the high. school men will be immensely
benefited by the opportunity of meeting
the crack western players, and that the
training Of a champion must beginsat an
early date, SO that special exertion will
be made to secure the entries of as many
as possible Of the younger players. ".

PLUGGER BILLS BIG WIN
GETS $4,000 FROM ONE RACE
Wins First Prize of $4,000 and
- a Takes Down $35,OOO on
- @=' Side Bet. -...F

"Plugger Bill Martin claims that with
his partner he won $4,000 on the big
Austral wheel race Of Australia last year.
Martin bet $4,000 on himself,to win $780,
600, and took the prize money, amounting
to $4,000. "Plugger Bill'' is now In this
country, and, although confessing to AZ
years, is active as a colt and Is training
for the N c.. A. circuit. He is wonderful
athlete-just another Fitzsimmons. In an
interview he said: e = .s.-..-.-.s -. -- -
''Yes, landed the great race, and landed
it right. was out in the antipodes seven
years looking for it, but they disqualified
me three times. fell twice and lost once
through combinations against me. Last
year worked hard to win, and did so,
and all my previous losses were more
than recouped in that one win" ,-..-
Martins gameness is known the world
over. When in America in '96 he accepted
the def of Dave Shafer to race Harry
Elkes for 81, 600 side, the winner to take
all of the purse. Martin had never fol-
lowed pace, but he purchased pacing ma
chimes, manned them with thirty pace
| makers, retained men to handle them,
trained himself and the pacemakers and
won the race, after which he paid off his
pacemakers, sold the machines and went
| into sprints once more, with loss OF $500.
| He stood to lose 81, 800 at the very least. :
| When Martin returned to America
| short time ago, Elkes, who since '9S has
| become the champion, demanded a return
Pmatch. Martin Is not supplied with pacing
machines and is anxious to sprint, SO
| that it is not at all certain that the great
| pair. will meet. "Plugger Bills game
ness would never allow him to avoid
| def, however, and 1t may be that race
! will be arranged for later date. At
present Martin is wearing away his sea
! legs, gained by his seven weeks trip on
l the water. sse... & -.. r.
| With Beauchamp, the Australian, his
| team mate, he trained on home trainers
on the boat, skipped the rope and boxed
all the way over, and both men feel that
| few weeks will place them right and in
position to make hot race for the cham
| pionship honors of America.
Untoward weather conditions during
June lost to eastern cycle meet promoters
and racing men upwards of $4,000.
No other June in the history OF cycling
ever supplied 50 many unfavorable days.
Rain and threatening weather caused the
postponement OF meet after meet, with
big losses to all concerned. It Is prob
able that these losses would foot up far
| heavier than the $4,000 mark, which
is conservative. -
July and August will be an excellent
month in consequence, as attendances,
| when conditions were favorable, have
| broken all June records. The absence Of
| Michael and Nelson has been sad blow
