A Lake superior silver Mine

THE richest mine of silver ever opened

on mere reef in that greatest of fresh
water seas, Lake Superior. 1t has been
forgotten by all but a few of the older in
habitantS that only third of a century
ago the richest silver mine in the old or
new world was operated under its waters
at Silver 1slet. The story of its discovery,
It's development under the most trying
conditions, and against the power of all
the elements, and the final triumph of ma
ture over man affords a romantic chap
ter in the drama of real life equalIing in
apparent improbability some of the tales
of Baron Munchausen, but all the details
of which are verified by authentic records
and the memories of men now living. The
island was but IS feet long by so feet in
width, rising but few feet above the
water on a calm day, but entirely sub
in stormy weather. The rock ran 81 200
to the ton. A single pocket of 60 tons
yielded more than S1o0 900. In the year 1877
10000 ounces of silver worth 1892 per
ounce was refined from rock taken from
the mine. The mine produced $6,600000
worth of silver during the period of its
activity. Old miners say there are millions
in silver still there, but it will take 81. .000
coo to start work again properly. Since
1889 the mine has been idle. The Detroit
syndicate which owned it became discour-
aged on account of unusually heavy ex-
penseS for a few years. The pumps stop

DEATH LIKE A FLASH,

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 6.-The open
ing day of the Grand circuit races at
Charter Oak park ended in tragedy
dropped dead in the fourth heat of the
Charter Oak trot, the classic event of
the meet. She fell about 200 yards
from the finish, when making a des-
perate effort to regain a lead which
she gajlantly held until rounding the
last turn. Sadie Mac seemed to have
lost her strength just at the period
when her driver was urging her to
do her best, but she was exhausted
and dropping to the track rolled over
and died instantly. A veterinary sur
geon attributed death to a broken
blood vessel, and horsemen who had
been watching her declared that she
had acted strangely all the afternoon
At the tragic climax hundreds of
men thronged on the track, and when
Miss Katherine Wilkes, the owner,
who was in a private box, heard of the
horses death. she was deeply affected
and left the grounds Immediately.
The finishes in the Charter Oak
event were heart breaking and the
heavy condition of the track made it
bard work for the horses. Darkness
prevented the finish of the big event,
after Angiola- and Zephyr had each
Won two heats. The big crowd of s.
600 was keyed up to a high pitch
when the fourth heat was finished.
Zephyr was in great form in the first
SlVo heats, which We're won in whip
ping finishes, but tired under the
strain and Angola finished in front
in the third and fourth in dashing
style.

shotguns to Guard Coin.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept 6.-Any
daring train robber could make a good
haul next Saturday afternoon by hold
ing up the special car Hermosa on the
electric line from Colma, the scene of
the Britt-Nelson fight. This car has
been chartered by Manager Coffroth
to bring back to the city the film of
motion pictures, from which he ex-
poets to derive a fortune. It will also
carry the money taken in at the gates
for tickets, as well as the coin of the
600 will be bet at the ringside. Be
sides this coin, at least $4,000 will be
taken in for tickets and various con-
ceSsions.
The car will have a force of shotgun
messengers to guard the coin until it
is deposited in bank vaults here.

Will Meet in October Before the
Colma Club.

San Francisco. Sept. 6.---Marvin
Hart has agreed to meet Gus Ruhlin
before the Colma club some time in
October provided a proper purse is
hung up. This seems to be the most
important of the heavyweight bouts for
the near future.
There can be but little to enthuse
over in a fight between Hart and RUN
lin. Hart may be above the average
among fighters, but Rubin has been
regarded as a has .been'' for SO long
that the ringside critics have almost
forgotten him. His fight with Jim Nc
Cormick the other day here was re-
garded in the light of joke. He
could not extend himself at any stage
of the journey being fat, slow and un-
able to land anything that looked like
a knockout punch.
Marvin Hart despite ffs champion
ship claims canont be regarded as the
best on earth, but he should overshad-
ow Rubin when it comes to this class.
The Kentuckian showed in his fight
with Root that he was above the aver
age as a heavyweight scrapper, al
though not in Jeffries division. The
fight scheduled for October between
these two will therefore not be likely
to set the world on fire.

The Old Penn Coach Has Charge of
Carlisle Team.

Carlisle, Pa, Sept. 6.-The Carlisle
Indian school squad of candidates for
football honors this year were tried
out last evening by the new coach,
George w. Woodruff. For the first
time the management of the Indian
eleven announced having secured the
well known Woodruff, whose work for
Pennsylvania went for so much during
the last decade. Woodruff will act in
an advisory and consulting capacity as
head coach for the Redskins, and will
be assisted by Indian Coaches Bemus
Pierce and Frank Hudson, who will re-
spectively have charge of the line and
ba ok. For the first time in the history
of football at the Carlisle Indian
school,, the opening day of the prac-
tice season saw the candidates plunged
into hard work. Woodruff has the
squad of twenty through handling the
ball and run them around the track
for wind so as to improve condition.
He gave them also a general talk
on football fundamentals. While this
years candidates are little heavier
now than last years team, their train
ing down in the, coming weeks will
probably produce team of at least
the same weight as last years.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The last
remaining obstacle to the completion
of preparations for the Britt-Nelson
glove contest was removed when
James J. Jeffries telegraphed his ac-
ceptance of the offer to act as referee
for $1,000 compensation. He added in
his message that he would leave Los
Angeles last night for this city, SO as
to arrive here in ample time for the
encounter, which will take place on
Saturday afternoon. Both men are in
perfect condition. The odds remain
at 10 to 7 with Britt on the long end,
though Nelson's friends predict he will
be quoted at a better figure within a
few days.
