FREE TICKETS TO STUDENTS.
The Washburn Football Management
Opens Its Heart.

Free tickets to all the Washburn foot
ball games have been given TO every
student of the college, embracing ali de-
partments of the school. The only ex-
pense to students will be a charge of
so cents for the K. U.-WaShburn game.
The regular price for the game to the
public is $1.00, including grandstand.
This system of distributing free
tickets is a new system at the school,
and it is done to insure big attend
ance of rooters at all games. The stu
dents are SO pleased with the generosi-
ty of the athletic management that they
are getting UP voluntary subscription
papers for the benefit of athletics. In
dications are that this will bring in
bigger revenue than the sale of season
tickets to students has in past years.
At the law school the first six men to
sign the subscription are down for sic
apiece
This afternoon the Washburn varsity
team lined up against the scrubs, ana

about $50.
One of the features of the prelimi-
nary work this year is the fast work
of Williams and White. Williams will
be played at tackle this year. and this
will leave Sharp free to go to guard.
This fills up the line in good shape.
Tice and Haughey are the most likely
candidates for ends. There are half
a dozen new men in school who are
showing UP as first team material, and

table. They will be ineligible, how

work. and reinforced by the fresh
man material are able to give the var
sity a hard argument. Stewart is
showing up a great talent for the job
of coaching, and he is handling the
scrubs more effectively than they have
ever been handled before.
Coach Outland is also working with
the Topeka high school team every
afternoon. and the bunch is showing
up we'll The line will probably not be
quite as heavy as last year, but the
men all average up well, and are
working hard. They will play a fast
game, and will no doubt retain the
honors Won by last years team.

COMES OFF HIGH HORSE.
Missouri Pacific Decides to Obey An
other Order of Railroad Board.

Attorney j. H. Richards appeared before
the state board of railroad commissioners
this morning and agreed to comply with
the order of the board recurring the loca-
ton of a depot at Chicopee. The Missouri
Pacific has delayed complying with the or
der of the board for some time and there
was some talk of bringing a mandamus
suit to compel action.
Speakingso the new, sidetrack laws, Mr..
Richards said: There is some difference
of opinion about how=these laws should
be interpreted. The RAILROADS have their
to go ahead and obeN1fbe law according
to that Interpretation. But there is a
good deal of confusion as to just the re-
lation between the two laws. Some of the
roads, L understand, are not willing to
build sidetraeks ordered by the board,
but l. do not think that the various lines
have decided upon a general opposition to
the laws s-a ~

J.. Irving CroweH has written an in
teresting article for the Los Angeles
Mining Review, in which he says that
J. A. Franklin, a civil engineer en-
ployed by the United States govern
ment, about thirty years ago fonnd
what he supposed to be chloride of
silver. on the summit Of Funeral range
in Death Valley and the point ever since
has been known as Chloride Cliff"
Standing on the cliff at an elevation
of 5000 feet, M a see Death Valley
for its entire length and breadth in all
of its awfulness.
Across the valley rises Telescope
Peak, the highest point Of the Pana-
mint range. One can also see Mt.
Whitney, highest point in the United
! States; he can also see the lowest point,
$50 feet below sea level in Death Valley.
There is no doubt in my mind that
this great mineral belt, starting at
Tonopah and Lone Mountain and con
tinuing southerly to Goldfeld and Ida,
and thence southerly to Bullfrog dis
trict and Chloride Cliff, will produce
more gold than any other mining sec
ton the world has ever known. One
thing sure is, that the line dividing The
States Of Nevada and California did moi
, divide the ore bodies, and Nevada VII
have to divide honors with California
for its production Of gold to be foundt

T. B. Hickey, the president of the
Nevada State Bank and Trust Com
pvny, came in from Goldfeld Tuesday
morning and left for Carson Thursday.
Mr.. Hickey states that the work Of ere
citing a three-story stone building at
the south west corner Of Main street
and Brougher avenue, will commence
in the very near future, probably by
the first Of January. If weather con-
ditions had been more favorable work
would have been commenced ere this.
Mr.. Hickey says Tonopah has a great
future and with its broad-gauge people
it is bound to go ahead.
In referring to the Nevada Power,
Mining and Milling Company, Mr..
Hickey said the company had certain
Iy accomplished wonders. Work was
commenced on the power line on the
9Th day Of March, between Bishop and
Tonopah and Goldfeld and power was
turned on September 18th, the work
thus being completed in a little over
six months.
The line is over 113 miles in length
and branches are now being run in
various directions, including one to
Diamondfeld to furnish power for John
McKane's water plant on the Highland
claim, it being the intention Of Mr..
McKane to use this water in his Dia.
5 mondfeld mines. "Our contract witt
him calls for the completion of the line
e within ninety days and 20 days Of tina
have already passed." said Mr.. Hickey
I ''This electric power will enable Mr.
) McKane to pump $4,000 gallons o
n water a day from the Highland clair
to Diamondfeld.
