LIBERAL PATRONAGE AND GOOD COMPETITIONS

thusiasm shown in this branch of sports
in the District. These were held by the
Columbia Athletic Club, the Sunday
School League. and the Episcopal
League, all of which were attended with
great success.
The most notable event was the equal

yard dash by Sydney Kent. at the High
School indoor meet. Seitz. of George

boy. ran second to Eaton in the fifty

its old rival. Baltimore City College, and
the Georgetown Props were defeated Dy
the relay team from Jacob Tome. AS
whole the entire meet was a great sue
cess.
In the annual high school meets, both
indoor and outdoor, Central kept up her
unique record of never having been de-
feated in an interhigh school meet One
! of the surprises in the outdoor cham
pionship meet was the defeat of Byrne,

1905 Another matter of interest to the
high school enthusiasts was the winning
of the Episcopal High School meet by
Central At this meet Smithson, hf-
teen-y -year-old boy, captured thirteen OF
the points. which practically won the
banner for the Washington institution.
The showing made by Gallaudet re-
lay team, which finished second at the
Pennsylvania games, and of Central at
the same place, was evidence OF the
excellent material which is developed
here. Although Central did not place
in its race it ran a close fourth in
faster time than any team which the
school has sent away TO these carni-
walls. The first three teams broke the
scholastic record for the mile relay.

of local fame, made some good time.

classes according to their standing in
the shoots of the previous year. The
series ended June 80. and on the first of

The annual golf tournament of
Chevy Chase was the chief event in
local golf circles during the year. The
play of many Of the contestants in the
tournament was at times on the sensa-
tional order. This was most noticeable
in the play of the man who proved to
be the clubs champion. Sam Dalzell-
Mr.. Dalzell. while given several strokes
handicap. finished well within the first
sixteen for the club cup
Against Mr.. DalzeI was paired such
an adept as DIR. J.. L. Harlan, the
champion of the Columbia Club. and
probably the most consistent and fin
ished player in the District of Colum-
bia.
In the three days play. both Mr..
Dalzell and DIR. Harlan met and de
feated the leading players OF Washing
ton. In the finals. however, which were
played on October u, Mr. DalZell de-
feated the Columbian champion up

played over the Chevy Chase course.

Taken as a whole. the season which
is just over has been the poorest in
the history of the sport in Washing
ton for a number of years, as far as
good football is concerned 1t is true
that George Washington at times ex-
hibited fair form, and that ii seems
to be the opinion of many that high
school football reached a higher stand
ard than that OF 1904 but upon closer
observation it is plain that the gridiron
sport did not progress in the District as
Il should have. Georgetown won but
two games OF consequence during the
entire season. these being with Gallau-
Get and George Washington, while those

Fencing. while not attracting a vast
deal Of public attention, made consid-
erable strides in the District in the
past year, and the experts of Wash
ington more than held their own
against those from other sections.
The Washington Fencing Club, where
Prof. +. Darrieulat has earned an en-
yiable reputation as an instructor. was
the center OF activity, and did much
for the sport.
The principal event in Washington
was the Cassini cup competition for
three-man teams with foils, which
Washington won. The Washington
Fencing Club beat the Philadelphia
Fencing Club by TO 0 in the prelimi-
naries, and the New York Fencing
Club beat the New York Athletic Club
6 10 g. In the finals the Washington
Fencing Club beat the New York
Fencing Club by TO I.
Previous to the winning of the Cas-
sini cup the Washington club went
to Annapolis, where il was victorious

shipmen by . TO 4. This event in itself
is a considerable honor. as the local
team was the only one 10 defeat the
Navy last year.
The feature of the year. however,
was the formation OF two new clubs,
that at Georgetown, which defeated
Princeton on March 3. and that at the
Young Mems Christian Association,
which has held a number of interest
ing bouts, and which Will continue as
an organization this year. Those 10

The attendance at amateur games IN
1904 was so great that ii was con-
slant topic of conversation among fans.
but in 1905 the fever rose by leaps and
hounds and there were days last SUM

persons were watching ball games In
recognized leagues. TO say nothing OF
those al the professional games and tie

ranged irrespective of regular sched-

up of the rocks was the only way to prove the real value of a mining prop osition. In the Bisbee camp the ores are held in the limestone in pockets of varying size. The mineraliZed area covers a large lateral extent and is known to hold down to at least l,40O feet. To learn just what a property holds can be determined only by progressive campaign in the way of sinking and drifting. The Copper Queen learned this many years ago. It has been producing ore for twenty SIX years and today has more in sight than at any former time in it's his tory. This speaks well for the sta bility of the camp. It is a basin holding ores of the finest quality and the quantity seems to be sufficient to warrant the many millions of dollars the Copper Queen company has re- gently spent in the construction of new smelters, railways and other con veniences for the winning and mar. keting of it's copper. The copper is the single item that is responsible for all this outlay. Copper Queen has made a great success in this camp, and the end is not yet, nor does it appear to be in sight.
 New Ore Finds.
 It is in the mining of ore in this basin that other deposits of copper are generally found, one pocket being often connected with another by small seams of ore. During the week this
 has been shown in Pittsburg & Du- luth, where an upraise ran into
 body of very rich cuprite, equalling
 the best found in tne Bisbee camp Sulphides were found on the level be.

The manage ment and the stockholders of this company are so closely allied with the Bonanza Circle people that we are compelled to include this property .n this pamphlet. The property con sists of about 300 acres of the best known mineral bearing territory Of the Butte, Montana, district, adjoin- ing the High Ore of the Amalgamat ed, including the following properties: Speculator. Edith May, Jessie Widow, Miners Union, Handbook Lode, and as we go to press there is still some territory that is about to be taken in. The stock was listed on inc Boston Stock Exchange August 10th, 1905. and its first dividend of 50 cents per share was paid September goth. and a regular dividend will be paid every quarter of 75 cents per share. If the property continues to do as well in the future as it has done up to the present time we would not be surprised to see the regular divi- dend, $1.25 per quarter.

cocHIsE DEVELOPMENT co.

This is the youngest company in the Warren District and its pan of organization, management and rela tive position with regards to the Cop per Queen, mark it as one of the most attractive investments in this dstrict. It is a Development Company, organ. ized under the laws of Arizona with a capitalization of $1 900 ,000.00 divid- ed into 100000 shares of a par value of 5000. 3S,000 shares of stock were given in full payment of the prop erty, 25,0OO shares were sold at SIU.U0 per share to create a developing fund and the balance of 33. .000 shares is held in the treasury as a reserve. Financially speaking, this company is in the best possible shape; it is free from encumbrances, owns the prop erty, and has ample funds 10 do all the development work necessary to prove it a mine The machinery is begin ming to arrive and will be installed al once The shaft site is only about a hundred feet from the North side hne of the Copper Queen ana It is expected that six or seven hundred feet sinking will catch the ore which extends into that ground. There is 90 doubt that the lines extend under the porphyrys in the COchise ground in the same maner as the Denn-Ari- zona. However, the Cochise has the advantage of being up against some of the largest ore bodies in the War ren District. Their holdings consist of a group of fifteen claims all ol which show more or less mineraliza tion, and especially those joining the Copper Queen ground. All the stock was sold to Bisbee people which speaks well for their confidence in
 the property. The s2.50 paid stock is now picked up at s4.OO and s45C as fast as any is offered. Officers: l.. c. Shattuck, president; c. l.. Jones
