The New Cup Challenger

The English people are very per-
sistent in their efforts to recapture
the cup which Americans have held
for so many years. Another attempt
is to be made this summer, and to that
end new challenger is being built,
which is claimed will have more speed
than those used in the past. The re-
suit will be watched with great inter-
est by both sides. There has also been
much interest manifested by the peo-
pie in the marvellous success of Hos

Montana-Tonorah Stocks
undertaking.

The persistent hammering down OF
the market price of Montana Tonopah
stock seems to indicate that Com
stock methods are likely to prevail
in the Nye county camp to some ex-
tent.
The Montana-Tonopah is one of the
proven properties. 1t is a prospect
no longer. One and one-half feet Of
a ledge several feet in width assays
$500 per ton, the richest ore in the
camp, and yet the stock went down
with this very discovery to less than
one dollar.
The stock was distributed widely
some months ago being used to pay
for property acquired by the COM
pany and it is evidently the intention
of those in control to get this all
back at small figure.

more.

NEW CAMP
WILL OPEN
Nevada Surely On The Boom:
Prosperity Near
Tcnopah

Judge Sherman who returned a few
days ago from Nevada, yesterday gave
out the first information since his
return regarding the new Pactolus
mining camp, in which he and sew
eral prominent Salt Lake men are in
terested. The new camp is in Nye
county, about so miles northwest of
Tonopah The Judge states that the
first discovery was made less than a
year ago and now two Uth CORPORA
ticns are at work in the district.
These are the Mammon Mining COM
pany, of which Mr.. Bamberger is the
president, with w. S. Mccormack.
Messrs. Dixson, Scheu and the Judge
with several other Salt Lake men in
/ terested. The other company is known
as the Pactolus Mining company. of
which Judge Sherman is president and
in which Morgan Thompson, J. E.
Wood and the gentlemen heretofore
named belong.
The Judge states that no work to
/ speak of was done on either of the
properties prior to about month ago,
except the location work, but that now
force of men are on the ground and
that development work is being rapid
ly pushed.
The formation is porphyry with
quartz veins running through it which
show up higher-grade copper and sill
yer ore. There are four shafts going
down in the camp and the ore is be-
ing sacked from all of them. and 1t is
the judgment of Mr. Sherman that a
second Tonopah has been struck All
the workings are now in ore which

Tonopah. The Judge stated that it
was yet too early in the history of the
camp to get at average samples, but
from samples taken 80 feet below the
surface ore was being sacked which
assayed $3.50 per ton.
Samples of ore brought in from the
camp by Mr.. Sherman are certainly
good to look at One is white quartz

silver and free gold 1t is the inten-
tion of the two companies to push
development work all summer so as
to find out if the ore is to be found at

Gen. Wood as a Meteor.

The Philadelphia Record has been
looking up a few facts in regard to
the extraordinary and rapid advance
ment of Gen. Wood over the heads of
old army officers. 1t finds from the
records that Leonard Wood was APP
pointed as assistant surgeon in the
army in 1856, and became a surgeon
five years later, in which position he
remained until 1898, when he assist
ed Mr.. Roosevelt in recruiting a vol
unteer cavalry regiment, which was
christened the Rough Riders and
Wood was commissioned its colonel in
May of that year, and Roosevelt was
made lieutenant colonel. Col. Wood
participated in a three months cam
paign, being in action twice-at Las
Guasimas, where he led his command,
and at San Juan hill, where his part
was praiseworthy. He was made n
brigadier general of volunteers in
July. In December he was created n
major general of volunteers, having
risen from captaincy in precisely
eight months. Gen. Lawton, a hero
of many wars, was removed that
Wood might be made governor of San
tiago and thereby met his death, and
later Gen. Brooke, a soldier whose gal
liant services ran back to 1861, gave
way that Wood might become COVER
nor of Cuba.
In 1901 Wood was entered as n brig
adler general in the regular service.
Aug. S next. it is announced, he will
be made major general. In the reg

Their exceptional favors are pressed
upon him, he will in 1909 succeed to
the grade of lieutenant general and
the command of the army; if the pres
ident's favor continues, he may reach
this supreme honor earlier.
Promotion at this rate has never
before been heard of in the military
service of the United States. If it
were the result of the most brilliant
military achievements, of great con
quests. marvellous strategy, mastery

astonishing. But it is the result, ac-

The Frog. Breathing.

The frogs skin is so important as a
breathing apparatus that the creature
would die at once of suffOcatiOn if the
pores were closed by a coat of sticky
varnish, by dust or in any other way.
While we are speaking of his breathing
you will notice that his sides do not
heave as ours do at each breath we
take. A frog has no ribs and cannot
inhale and exhale as we do. but is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and
if you will watch this little fellows
throat you will see 1t continually NOV
ing in and out as one gulp follows an
other. In order to swallow, his mouth
must be closed. Just try to swallow
with your mouth wide open and you
will see what 1 mean. A frog, then, al
ways breathes through his nose, and IL
you held his mouth open he would suf-
focate as surely as though you gave his
skin coat of varnish.-Woman's Home

Very warlike is the aspect of a sin

there is no cause for alarm since it is
nothing but n tree. Some ten years

and went to live near CharlerOi. Being
an amateur horticulturist, he busted
himself a good deal with trees and
flowers, and one day as he was trim

Cured to him that it would be novel
idea to train it in such manner that
it would eventually assume the figure
of a cavalry officer. At once he went
to work, and after ten years labor he
succeeded in transforming the tree into
a perfect picture of a mounted soldier.
The tree is known in the neighborhood
as General Hawthorn" and hardly a

to view this wonderful example Of hor-

Wanted to Swap Yates or.

According to dispatch sent out
from Davenport last night social and
business amenities between the Hi
nOis and Iowa State Bankers assOcia-
tiOns seem to have had a depressing
effect on state patriotism in Illinois,
as was evidenced at the close of the
joint session of the associations in
that city yesterday, when August
Blum. of Chicago. offered a motion
providing that Illinois and Iowa eX-
change governors. 1t evidently was
under the spell of enthusiasm follow
ing Gov. Cummins' address, which was
pronounced to be both eloquent and
able, that Mr.. Blum, who is assistant
cashier of the First National bank of
Chicago, arose to offer motion which
was substantially as follows:
Il move, Mr.. President, that the
state of Illinois and the state of Iowa
exchange governors
This unique proposition excited
laughter among those who heard it
and was promptly seconded by Will
liam George, the newly elected presi-
dent of the Illinois Bankers associa-
ton.
Il rise to second the motion that
Illinois and Iowa exchange COVER
nors," shouted President George, and
the motion was carried with a whoop
by the Illinois delegates. without the
assistance of the chair. Meanwhile
the Iowa bankers did not seem to I'M
derstand the joke and few of them
Joined in the acclaim.
One of the amusing features of the
incident was that Andrew Russell, of
Jacksonville, retiring president of the
Illinois Bankers association and pre-
siding officer over the joint session. is
a member of Gov. Yates official fam
lily. He lives in the Illinois executive
home town, is a member of the Hi
nois state board of pardons and also
of what is known as the governors
Kitchen cabinet" Moreover. it was
Russell who is credited with having
financed the Yates gubernatorial
campaign in 1900. William George, of
Aurora. who seconded the motion, is
president of the old Second National
bank of that city, and is a close
friend of Senator Hopkins, who lives
in Aurora.
Now the anti-Iates men insist that
the motion was carried and that the
two bankers associations should pro-
ceed at once to boom the transfer of
Gov. Yates to Iowa and Gov. Cummins
to Illinois. On the other hand, the

Narrow Escape of Gold Seekers.

A small company of Alaskan gold
seekers were walking across one of the
great ice fields in that winter bound
country when one of them noticed a
difference in the color of the ice a few
yards before them. Almost as he spoke,
however, the treacherous coating Of
thin ice across jagged crevasse gave
way, and with an awful cry the two
foremost men went down with the
crumhling glittering surface. y third
man would have followed, but his gun
lodged crosSwiSe in the Crevice and
saved him. The other two had sunk
out of sight only their voices guiding
their rescuers. Blankets were torn into
strips and all the available rope used
as we'll to reach the unfortunate prison
ers, to whom hatchets also had to be
lowered to hack their way out. so tight

the ice powders by their fall of fifty
feet or more. When they reached the
surface again they were in n fainting
condition, and it was many days be-

the time spent in that icy tomb.
