The Mining Revival.

For the past year the financial
world has turned its eve toward
Nevada, the State that has pro-
duced the silver to carry ON wars
and pay debts. 1t is not the sill
yer this year that is calling at
tention, but the mines IN general.
The gold eXcitements are now
equal TO those oil the kioudyke
and it is predicted that before
the winter Is over that Nevada
will be the scene of a rush such
as the pioneers OF 10 witnessed.
Without doubt the new rally
OF finances to Nevada started
with tic discovery OF Ionopah
Millions have been made At that
place and now comes the almost
unbelievable records oil GoldtIeld,

EXCITING BASKETBALL
GAMES AT Y. M. C. A.

The most exciting basket ball con-
tests that have ever taken place in
Savannah were those last night between
the four teams organized at the Young
Mems Christian Association. i'll which
the Greens defeated the Blues and the
Whites walloped the Fellows.
The games that are now being played
are for the purpose of developing the
team that will represent the Savannah
association in the contest that will take
place in Augusta next month with the
Atlanta team.
There is much excellent material in
savannah, and with the proper work
and training the Capital City team

meets Savannah.
The best exhibition of team work
was that shown by the Greens, every

against the Blues at will. The Vel

stage WILL NOT GO EAST
WITH FOOTBALL TEAM

The University of Chicago football
team will not go East next season and
Coach Stagg has advised that his
eleven not play the West Pointers
again. The reason given is that the
military academy will not make a suf-
ficient guarantee of expenses. Stagg
says he does not care to dig up another
$500 to fill out expenses like he did
last year. The academy people do not
charge into the gates and hence there
are no receipts to attract the Chicago
team. The Westerners are anxious to
meet any Eastern team again, it IS
said. but could not do it at a financial
loss. No game will be played with
Minnesota this year as the schedule
has already been completed, including
Michigan, Wisconsin. Illinois. Indiana,
Perdue and Northwestern.

FIFTEEN BIG LEAGUE TEAMS
TO TRAIN IN SUNNY SOUTH
Washington Team Will Be Only One to Stay
at Home

out of the sixteen big league teams,
all but one will train in the South this
spring, the single exception being the
Washington club, which does not need
70 come South, as the climate is always
warm enough at Washington in the
spring. Texas and Georgia seem to be
the favorite states among the mana
gers. no less than five having selected
Texas as the proper place in which to
do their training stunts. Frank De-
Hass Robson said recently: eve have
four Texas cities under consideration
and will decide on one of the four dur
ing the next week."
Five teams will also come to Georgia:
Boston Nationals at Townsville, Phil
lies at Savannah, Boston champions at
Macon, New York Highlanders at Au-
gusta and New York Giants at Sa-
vannah. South Carolina draws two,
the Athletics and Brooklyns.
Three teams will do part of their
