II. THAW WAS SWIFT
HARRY HAS A RECORD AS FAST
SLENDER OF MONEY.
His Family, Who Live in Pittsbure,
Are Rich-Harry Was Black Sheep
of Family-Few of His Escapades
Gven-Had to Go to Paris to Spend
Money Fast Enough.

Harry Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White in New York recently, has a
record as a spendthrift that few young
men, or older men, for that matter,
have equaled.
Harry Thaw's family is among the
most wealthy people of Pittsburg. His
father was, at the time of his death,
multi-millionaire, who had made his
millions out of manufacturing indus
tries. Hundreds of the most valuable
acres in and around Pittsburg belong
to the Thaw family, says the Chicago
Tribune.
The Thaws are of Quaker origin,
and most of the members of the fam
lily adhere to the traditional religion
of the family. Harry Thaw has been,
since his early youth, the black sheep
of the family. When the elder Thaw
came to dispose of his millions pre-
vious to his death he cut Harry off
with $500 a year because of his way
wardness. Mrs. Thaw later remedied
the discrepancy in the young mans
financial expectations by making him
an equal sharer with the other heirs
in the estate, thus insuring him an
annual income of $4,000.
After he came into his patrimony
through his mothers generosity Harry
Thaw cut wide swath in certain So
ciety circles of Pittsburg, New York,
London and Paris. He was known as
q hn Of for
New York. When he arrived at New
York he set himself the task of main
tanning his reputation and succeeded
beyond even his expectations. Here
are rev things he is accredited with
doing after his arrival in New York:
He raced a cab down Broadway in
the middle of the day when Broadway
was crowded from curb to curb.
He threw a theatrical performance
into panic by throwing bottles at a
soubrette who didn't sing to please
him.
He caused the proprietor to close up
a famous night restaurant an hour
earlier because he stood on a table
and threw IS bills to all the walters.
He went to the Waldorf one night,
sat by himself at magnificent table,
and ordered a $50 dinner. When it
was finished he sent for the chef and
gave him $25.
One night after the theater, when
he found his cabman asleep, he got
astride of the horse and Grow the cab
and the sleeping cabman through the
most brilliantly lighted thoroughfares
of New York.
When a woman's eyes pleased him
he would send a pair of rubies to
match them, or emeralds, or sap
phires, as the case might be.
He made it point never to tip a
waiter less than So, no matter what
was served.
Thaw couldn't spend his money fast
enough in New York, and so sought a
more expansive field for spectacular
extravaganza in Paris. He succeeded
so we'll in the gay French capital that
in single night he sprang into fame.
He gave a dinner in midsummer to
about 25 women. 1t cost $4,000. 1t

SPORTING NEWS.

Harvard's varsity crew triumphed
over Yale at New London Friday
before the greatest crowd that ever
gathered there on a race day. Har-
ward won, but Yale rowed a race
that will long live in the annals of
college sports. Not only from the
start, but until the last sixteenth OF
mile did the shells cease to lap each
other. The men in the rival boats
could see each other for more than
three miles and a half, as first one
aoxswain and then the other called on
his crew. Harvard won the race by
less than two lengths and a half. Her
time was 23:02; Yale's 23:11. While
the crews had the tide with them
they had brisk quartering wind,
which made fast time impossible. The
record for the course is 20:10, made
by Yale in 1888.
The race between Harvard and
Yale crews was the 10th that has
been rowed between the two big uni
versities, and the score between the
two now stands: Harvard IS, Yale
%. The first race was rowed in 1852
and was won by Harvard. In the last
20 years, however, Yale has won all
but four races, Harvard winning in
1885, 1891, 1899 and 1906. The record
time over the four mile course at
New London is 20:10, made by Yale
in 1888. Gordon Glass, son of Ches-
ter Glass, and for most of his boy
hood and young manhood a resident
of Spokane, was member of the
victorious Harvard crew, rowing in
No. 5. Glass is in his sophomore year
at Harvard. He was the only west
erner in the Harvard boat.
Yales representative crews in the
regatta with Harvard last Thursday
were two of them heavier than the
Crimson, but her varsity was the
lightest that has sat the shell in
years. Harvard had So more pounds
in her regular boat than Yale, or an
average of about seven pounds more
to the man. Yale's varsity eight
averaged 1881 pounds, while that
of Harvard was 175h pounds. Rare
which weighs less than an average of
10 pounds to the man into the big
race. Sometimes the crews average
up to IT'S pounds.

MINING NOTES.

What is claimed by old MINING M.
OF the Occur d'Alene section to ha
the richest strike of gold ever mada
has just been reported from ~
tiers around one James Fairchild-
Pilot group of claims, almost adio,r
ing Murray. The strike consists q,
IL inches of phenomenally rich poM
quartz. However narrow or wide tho
vein may prove to be, the SAMPLES q,
the ore exhibited bear out even tho
most sanguine reports from the mine
No genuine assays of it have heen
made. The vein was encountered Of
depth of IT'S feet, 42O feet in tho
tunnel being driven on the property
The Pilot group is owned by John
Docktor, Frank Frohling and Louis
Prayer. 1t las been discovered and
worked for IA years, but this is the
first strike of any moment ever made
on the ground.
Heretofore all surface labor In the
mines of the Boundary, B. c.. has been
at the rate of SO for day of 10 hours.
Hereafter, in the mines of Phoenix
at least, the pay will be the same.
but the day will consist of nine hours,
This went into effect last week at
the CRANKY mines, and Manager
Drummond of the Dominion Copper
company states that the same rule
will obtain in his company's mines
after tho celebration holiday, or on
July 4.
Only three weeks more and the
once famous Frisco mine at the camp
at Gem, Idaho, will be working full
blast, announces one of the head en-
ployes of the company. At that time
the company will commence work
sinking 200 foot shaft from its 1000 I
foot level and before long the Frisco,
long dormant, will be once more on a
dividend paying basis.
The BOUNDARY, B. c., mines output
| for this week will exceed last week
| by just 1000 tons. Total treatment
for week 3,101 tons. Total treatment
for year to date 635,510 tons.
