THE FEBRUARY.

The Hunch Leasing company, operat-
ing on this property, win be ready to
commence regular shipments in the near
future. When the ore was entered in
the dyke at the 100'foot level Some
six weeks ago assays were obtained on
the quartz that went into the hundreds.
The shoot did not extend any great
length and drifts, upraises and cross
cuts have been in order ever since.
Last Tuesday in the south drift shoot
of ore nearly three feet wide was en-
tered, and assays on it run all the
way from 800 to as high as $3.50. On
the adjoining block, which is being
worked by George Lewis, pay rock
is looked fer any hour. 1t is known
that the Honsinger dyke runs through
the ground, and it is no trouble to get
assays that run better than $50.

FOOTBALL

The football season is at hand The gridirons
sn ALI parts Of the country have been laid out
and at most colleges the candidates have re-
ported for practice. At Yale, Harvard Prince
ton. PENNSYLVANIA, Columbia and Cornell light
work began last week. and from now on interest
in the various elevens and in the games VIII
grow apace until the climax is reached late IN
November. The season is a short but strenuous
one and while lasts is not Outranked, in point
Of popularity, with any other college sport NO
chances of any moment have been made in the
rules this year. With some this is cause Tor
consolidation with others cause for criticism.
AS a matter of fact the rules as they are are all
sufficient IL the officials viii only see that they
are properly enforced There IS every oppoI-
tunity for an open, spectacular game II the
coaches elect TO adopt that style, While the close
formations may still be used in their many Varl-
afions. The most important change IN the rules
and one that was welcome was that of increas-
ing the penalty for side line coaching from fVe
teams at all the big colleges. Yale lost much
through graduation-in fact, only six or last
years team will be back There was a host OF
good substitutes last year. however, and these
can be counted on 10 I'LL the breach harvard
is better off as only Meters and Mills were lost
snd their places can be easily filed. Pennsyl-
vania has lost the entire left side Of its line and
one back, and the places viii be hard TO MI
Princeton is also sufferer as no less than seven
OF last years team are not available this season.
Material there is in plenty, however. Cornell
lost four men. but Lynch is the only one who will
be missed. Under the able coaching of Warner
there will be trouble in developing new ma
1erial and Cornell is likely TO be a factor dur
ing the season. Columbia Will have a hard task
in replacing Strangland. Metzenthin, Donovan,
Sedgewick Brown and Finegan, but in spite of
this handicap hopes run high for strong eleven

GOLF.

Golfers had a treat at Fox Hills last week in
the first open championship of the Metropolitan
Golf Association Golf Of the best was played.
and so close was the fight that never for one
moment could the leaders let up IN their play.
Alex Smith earned the honors only after
hard fight of three days, and but for number
of big ..ifs" any one of FIVE or six players could
have earned the title The tournament was well
NJ aeed and IS sure to become annual fixt-
s1re n cannot be said that any light was
thrown on the probable outcome Of the national
or,en championship 10 be played al Myopia this
pteek II showed rather that there are some
eight or ten players, at least capable of win
ming the highest honOrs in professional golf
Alex Smith. Willie Anderson. Willie Smith.
Isaac Mackfe, Martin O'Loughlin, Stewart
Gardner. John Hobens. Bernard Nichols and
george Low are ali possibilities for the title
now held by Willie Anderson, TO say nothing Of
several others Walter J. Travis seems TO have
fallen slightly from the high place he held last
year Jerome D Travers again proved his master
last week, and this young player earned no
little glory IN finishing where he did IN such a
high class field. The long snefted clubs aIected
nv Travis and some Of the leading professionals
are not likely to become popular. Stewart
Gardner is about the only one who takes them
seriously Alex Smith and Willie Anderson
have tried them and practically decided TO go
back 70 the old style.

vANnERRIr.r crP RACTNG.

Now that the twenty-eight mile circuit on
Long Island has been oiled. everything is ready
for the American elimination trials on saturday
The grandstand at Mineola was finished on sat
urday. and Chairman Morrell. of the Vanderbilt
Cup commission. has arranged for three hundred
special officers to guard the course. Thousands
of gallons of crude OIL costing in all $4,000, have
been sprnked on the roadway. so there will be
no dust 10 interfere with the speed and safety OF
the contestants. Most of the drivers are in town
with their racing cars. The racing machlnes
are allowed on the course up to 40 o'clock in
the morning after which touring cars can be
used but under no circumstances must the
speed limit be exceeded under penalty of disbar-
ment from the race Up to this time few drivers
have taken advantage OF the opportunity to go
over the course but this week a change can be
looked for and not day will pass without most
of the contestants being on the roads for tuning
up purposes.
The elimination trials and. the race proper
promise to be even more interesting this year
than last. The victory Of an American car IS
the more eagerly looked for, as. in the event or
one of the foreign drivers winning the cup the
race next year Will be held in the country mold

POLO.

Never before in the history Of the Polo Asso-
citation has interest among the veterans Of the
game been at low ebb as is the case this
year. With no entries for the championship and
no combinations of star players for the Chal-
lenge Cup, instituted last season as an open
championship for the purpose of giving the
crack players in various clubs opportunity of
combining forces for high class polo. the only
game of 1905 that can claim to be a champion
ship in any respect is the single contest for the
Junior championship which will be played this
afternoon on the big polo field at Van Cortlandt
Park. The Junior championship is a doubtful
honor at best. and even this, inaugurated in
1900 for the purpose OF bringing the younger
players together, has not been a great success.
The Rockaway Hunting Club the match
last year, but the club will not defend its title
this season. a team Of Philadelphians, entered
from the Bryn MaWr Club, viii meet the local
representatives from Squadron A. This failure
TO support the championship fixtures naturally
suggests that lovers Of the game are losing in
terest in the sport. To a certain extent this
seems TO be true although the various tourna-
nents this year have been interesting and sue
cessful in the main
