In the past Minnesota athletics have been

there is a feeling among the students that the
newly organized faculty council Is going out

of the past week heightened the feeling when

ENGLISH CREWS ARE

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-Intercollegiate
rowing circles have been pretty much
stirred up by the recent announcement
from England that neither Oxford nor
Cambridge would consent to row a col
lege crew in America. Following SO
the Cambridge eight, this stand has
displeased American oarsmen, who We're

A suggestion was made during the
last week for an Intercollegiate regatta
for the American championship, to be
contested by Harvard and Yale as we'll

English crew. The project has been
taken up with intense enthusiasm by
the Poughkeepsle crews. 1t Is to be
noted that no word Of commentator

Exclusiveness Injuries Sport.
The sentiment against the exclusive
ness of Harvard and Yale is gathering
force with every year. The Poughkeep-
sic crews are being acknowledged on all
sides as the superiors of the New Eng
landers, who are credited with being
the fairest exponents of American row
ing. Consequently the American pub
lie wants to see Cornell or some other
American crew which can win at Pough-
keepsie represent this country against
stead of Harvard or Yale.
The decision Of the Britons to com

The plea of the Britons that their com

The Buena Vista. Head of
Diamond Basin.

Z. I. G. CLARK, the we'll known pros
pector, who by a system of bis own has
located ore shoots for others on numer-
ous claims in this vicinity, and who
located the Gold Nugget claim, IA mile
northwest of Paul's station late last
fall, was in town Monday, and Nugget
ccosLed him for information regarding
the reported rich strike made by him a
few days since. Mr.. Clark is very jubi-
liant over his find, which he says is at
the extreme head of Diamond Creek,
the little stream which runs through
Diamond Basin and crosses the stage
road about eight miles this way from
Murphy He says he traced the float
up the stream for more than a mile
from the basin, found the outcroppings
of a ledge which he has traced on the
surface for more than thousand feet.
For 600 feet of that distance the vein is
three feet or more in width He sent
numerous samples taken from along
the groupings to friend, Mr.. John
Kinkaid, at Boise, to have assayed, and
the average returns from them was
1896 per ton, the values running about
equally in gold and silver
These returns interested Mr.. Kinkaid
SO greatly that he came over promptly
and is now assisting Mr. Clark in Sc
lecting 80 ton carload from the snr-
face of the vein, to be sent to Salt Lake
for reduction. They will strip the sur
face of the vein for 900 feet, and Mr..
Clark SAYS they both feel confident
that they can secure a carload which
will run $1,000 per ton There have
long been known to be indications of
rich deposits on the ridges running
from the Homestake mine to the head
of North Sinker and Rabbit creeks,
where there is a granite formation, and
there have been number of locations
made about and north of little Sugar
Loaf; but from Mr. Clark's report this
is the most promising Of them all Mr..
Clark has named his claim the Buena
Vista
Mr.. Clark has sold half interest in
his Gold Nugget claim, north of Paul's
station, to Irl Eagle who recently sold
his interest in the Bergh & Eagle mine
on Sucker Creek. on which five stamp
