THE MINING RECORD"
Brand New Paper Makes
Its Appearance in Ely.

The NEWS announced q few
issues back that another paper,
called The Mining Record
would soon be published in Ely
by j. D. Crossette, formerly on
the News staff.
The first issue made it's ap-
pearance last FRIDAY. Al
though neither the NEWS nor
any of the stockholders in this
paper were favored with one of
the sample copies distributed
about town by carrier, (about the
only ones in town who were not)
a copy came to our notice, and il
Is a credit to the publisher. Its
general appearance is good and
the articles of length are we'll
written and instructive. There
are no such companies. however,
as the Boston & Nevada and
White Pine Copper Co.'S oper-
ating in this county, It con-
tanned a fair amount of attractive
advertisements.
We admit being prsjudiced
against a patent inside. The
NEWS tried it for a long time aud
found that it neither pays nor
gives the general public)sstisfac-
tion of an all home print, oven
though the size Of the sheet be
cut down.
The NEWS welcomes the Min
ing Record into the field Of Jour
nalism. If White Pine county,
and Ely in particular, come to
the front, as all indications point
they will, there will be an ample
field here for two papers, and we
wish Mr.. Crossette success in his
venture.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Trapper's Victory Improves His
Chances for Crescent City Deby.

Trapper at New Orleans yesterday DEM
onstrated that he is entitled to some con-
sideration in the Crescent City DERBY,
which will be run next Saturday. The son
of Hastings met nice lot of horses in the
mile and a sixteenth handicap at the Fair
Grounds, and even though he was giving
away weight to all managed to down them
and won going away by length.
Very few of the wise spectators figured
that Trapper had a chance to beat Hart
Dernham's game and consistent mare Spen-
cerian Her chances looked so brilliant that
she was backed to even money, while Trap
per receded in the betting from to to
threes. Terms Rod cut out a merry pace
to the head of the stretch. Aubuchon, see
ing what was coming off, preserved Trap
per for the final rush He figured that ne
only had Spencerian- to beat and paid all
his attention to the Dernham mare. AT
the three-quarters pole Aubuchon sent
Trapper along. He passed all but the
leader as though they were standing still,
and when Strengthened out for home moved
up to Terms Rod. There was fight be
tween the pair, but at the sixteenth pole
Trapper drew away and won by length
Terms Rod lasted long er ough to secure
the place by head on the post from Spen-
cerian.
The race showed that Trapper is the only
colt that has chance to beat Rams Horn
in the Derby, and he can run on either
last or SLOW TRACK. SUMMARY.

JOCKEY CLUBS BATTLE.
Western Organization. Outlaws Many
Trainers and Jockeys.

All the trainers, jockeys and horses that
have participated in the City Park track
meeting at New Orleans were catalogued
among the list of outlaws by the board of
stewards of the Western Jockey Club at its
monthly meeting in Chicago yesterday
This action by the stewards means that
the struggle for supremacy between the
Western Jockey Club and the new organ
izatlon. controlled by Edward Corrigan. Is
to be fight to finish, and in all proba-
biiity will result in the closing of Chicago
race tracks for this season at least.
Hawthorne track, which alternates with
Harlem during the summer, is now con-
troiied by the Corrigan party and any own
err, jockey. horse or trainer that takes part
Orleans will not be allowed to race on the
of the Western Jockey Club.
The intention of Corrigan and his asso-
ciates is to bring the horses now racing at
the City Park track at New Orleans to Chi
cago to take part IN the Hawthorne meet
ing which Is scheduled to open in May.
Hawthorne has the sanction of the Western
Jockey Club for forty-three days of racing,
but If the owners, jockeys, horses and
trainers now racing at Corrigan's New Or
leans track are brought to Hawthorne
that track will be placed in the outlaw list
and the sanction of the Western Jockey
Club will be withdrawn
1t Is the general belief that one Of the
Chicago tracks which is still with the old
organization will be given the Hawthorne
