WORLDS DRILLING
 RECORD BROKEN
CHAMBERLAIN AND MAKE WIN DOUBLE HANDED CONTEST.
Fred Yockey Breaks Record on Sin
 gle Handed Drilling.

Ri.bee Review at Fl Pa7o gives the following account of the great drilling contest. which took place there la-t week:
 The world'- record for double handed drilling i7 now l3t inches. IL was made here thi- afternoon in the great est drilling contest that the world has ever secn The holders Of the new record are Chamberlain and Make, who came here from San Pedro, Mex icp.
 The team- drilling today were Cham bcrlain and Make and Tarr brothers Of I3i-bee. The latter team was the favoritc up to the time they went on the rock to drill. One bet of s500 was that they would put down q deeper hole than Hupp7 and LindUui7t.
 Tarr brothers went on the rock con Gdent of success. Their work was as pretty d. that Of any of the teams that have drilled, but they had bad luck at critical moments. Their hole was q great disappointment To q large num- bcr of packers and admirers.
 To Chamberlain and Make belongs the credit for being the greatest team Of drillcrs that has ever entered into competition at any of the champion ship drilling contests. Their work was superb. Not once did they falter during the nerve racking fifteen min utes that they were pounding the drill.
 Make is without doubt one of the greatest drllIcr5 the world has ever seen. He is a big man, weighing nearly 2JO pounds. He strikes a pow erful blow that drives the steel deeper and deeper into the hard granite.
 Chamberlain proved himself to be not only champion drillcr but one of the crafticst men in the business. When the drill was down forty inches he be- gan to wear smile of confidence. On the start of the fourteenth minute, he began to talk to those around him on the rock.
 Chamberlain and Make drilled but fourteen minutes. The former would not allow Make to strike any longer. When they stopped, with sixty sec onds still to their credit, Chamberlain stood up and said:
 Its all of with the big drilling contests now. We have gone SO deep that we will never he able to get an other match on even terms. We came here to break the record and we have done it without much troublc.'
 Chamberlain was here last year with Mallcy and Chamberlain. At that time they won first money, making d new worlds record which had been twioe ooiipsod.
 Chamberlain and Mallcy dissolved partnership on account of a dissaGrGc mcnt, which took place in Bsbee shortly after they drilled in Bi-bee last July. This led to the team of Ross and Mallcy being formed. To do this Ross had to break with his former partner, McNichols, who was with won first money and made d worlds record.
 This ends the double handed contest, md an event that has made 10000 people wild with excitement for forty eight hours. There have been surprises all around. The favorites were Ross and Malley Of Bisbcc, who have to be content with third place.
 Record of winners:
 Chamberlain X Make, 5000, 43t inches.
 Hupps X Lindquist, $500, 4laa inches.
 Mallcy X Ross, Sl50, 40t inches.
 Tarr brothers, 3Sg inches
 Orr and Chambers, Fl! inches.
