NEW YORK. Aug at is pretty hot

game as football. but those interested
IN the great American college game are
beginning 10 get busy.
Determined efforts are being made this
summer TO break down the opposition
OF Yale, Harvard. Princeton. Cornell,
Chicago. and Annapolis 70 the Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association Of the
United States. the organization that was
formed two years ago with tho object
Of lessening objections to football that
were raised at that time.
AT present, Pennsylvania is the only
one Of the Big Five Eastern univer-
stiles that is enrolled in the association.
The football committee, comprising rep
resentatives Of Yale. Pennsylvania. Chi
eago, Harvard. Princeton, Annapolis.
and Cornell, dictated the rules OF the
game up to 1906. To avoid confusion.
m!ttee Of the I. A. A. Z. S. consolidated
the old committee and the new com
and the college world was spared the
trouble that would have resulted with
two football codes. But the manage
ment is still unsatisfactory. for the two
committees are obliged TO consolidate
each year. One-half Of the committee
represents seven universities and the
other half the new association. made I'D
Of some sixty institutions from all parts
Of the country.
The new body, while feeling conscious
OF its growing strength and not doubt

situation, acted with wisdom In not
offending the members Of the old COM
mittee and made their entrance aasy-

country within this organization, and
after that the amendment of the foot

Recent developments on the Com

HAVE BEGUN
ACTIVE WORK

The Round Mountain Mohawk
Mining company began operations
this week on its property. A force of
men was put to work sinking in the
main working shaft, which is now
down a distance of fifty feet. Seven
teen feet of this is already in forma-
ton, and 1t is the intention of the
management TO sink the main shaft
1t least to the 10O-foot level before
prosecuting.
President L. L. Mushett was out
and, in company with Superintendent
Thomas McSorley, went over the
ground. 1t is expected that before
the 100-foot level is reached, a ledge
parallel to that of the Sunnyside will
be struck. Several stringers pam
ming free gold have already been en-
countered.
The Mohawk property is one of the
most favorably located of any unde-
veloped ground in the district. It
adjoins the famous Sunnyside mine
of the Round Mountain Mining COM
pany, the Combination, Great West
ern and the Nevada Gold Trail, which
is part of the original Sphinx hold
ings in the district. Only seventy
feet from the north lines of the Mo-
hawk is the famous dry wash work
ings of Thomas Wilson on the Sunny
side and Combination leases. From
this ground Mr.. Wilson took upward
of $4,000 in placer gold last sum-
conservatively estimated by exper-
fenced engineers that their is a for
tune in surafce gold on the Mohawk
holdings. The placer rights have
been leased to the Round Mountain
Hydraulic Mining company, and
work will begin as o as water can
be turned on and sluice boxes built.
On this score 1t may be pretty safely
predicted that even without ledge
showings the company will be on a
dividend-paying basis before the sum-
mer is over. The surface gravel on
the Mohawk ground is from eighteen
to thirty-five feet to bedrock and
good paintings have been secured the
entire depth. The hydraulic COM
pany will work the dirt of the Mo-
hawk at the same time as that of the
Wilson lease on the Combination and
Round Mountain Mining company.

tainly amazed at the wonderful show
ing, both in the oxide and sulphide
ores. Some ore was broken from the
surface outcrop or dixie and paintings
made from it. The great string of
yellow gold obtained was the source
of much wonder to him. He could
not understand how the thing could
have been so long overlooked.
Standing there all these years, polk
ing its nose out at the p~rospector, :
as he expressed it. The unusually
wide and rich sulphide vein meow
cred at the second level he considered
as equaling anything at present
shown in Nevada and he wondered
that its fame was not more wide
spread. He, as many others, pro
nounced the property a great mine
and further stated it was in the ranks
as one Of Nevada's big producers.
There is going to be an extensive
production of high grade ore after
the completion of the present ross
cut. There will be 100 feet of backs
to stope on of the very rich sulphide
ore besides the great quantity of
oxide shipping ore. 1t is proposed to
get it out and ship it just as fast
as possible and the tremendous guam
tity that will be blocked out will
make possible continuous shipments
for a long period. The company is
also ~perfecting plans for a mill to be
constructed at an early date. In adj
dition to the great quantity of ship
ping ore to be taken from the mine
that will keep a large plant running
for years. New and heavier machin-
cry will be installed, air compressors,
machine drills, etc. In fact, prepar-
atoms is under way for operation on
an extensive scale and the great mine
will soon enter a very active era and
will add a large quota of mineral
wealth to Nevada's production. Ram
sey is going to feel the great benefit
of the big monthly pay roll, neces-
sary at the Romsay Comstock mine
in the near future, and is certainly
assured of lasting aid to her pros
perity Ramsey Recorder.

RABBITS FOOT
GROUP IS SOLD
MACDONALD AND PARKHURST
TAKE OVER VALUABLE
PROPERTY

That the Rosebud district looks
good to Malcolm Macdonald and
Lewis A. Parkhurst, representing the
Schwab interests, among the biggest
operators in the state, is beyond dis
pute. Their first investment in the
camp was the purchase of the Brown
Palace group for $25O,O0O. This deal
was followed last week by the taking
over of the Big Six group for a good
round sum. Now 1t Is reported that
a deal has been closed at Lovelock by
which Macdonald and Parkhurst ac-
quired the Rabbits Foot group for a
cash consideration of $4,000.
This group consists of four claims,
the Rabbits Foot, the Lady, the Gent
and the Butt-In, in the very heart of
the richest part of the Rosebud dis
trict, and joins the Brown Palace on
the east. The big vein from which
the Brown Palace is sacking its rich
ore is traceable across the Rabbits
Foot, which joins the west side line
of the Dreamland, from which some
extremely high grade ore is being
mined.
The sale, 1t is said, vas made by
the owners directly to the purchas-
ers. The group was owned by F. l.
Gunnell, cashier of the First National
bank of Lovelock, who, with his CO.
owners, held a three-fourths interest,
and r. Tidwell and associates, who
held the balance.
The fact that operators of the cali

neutrality-suspicious. who always score
a success-are willing to pay $4,000
cash for four claims with practical
ly no work done upon any of the
claims, is a sufficient guarantee of
their faith in Rosebud, Northern Ne
vada's greatest mining camp.-Hum-

r. S. Sollender and his brother, A.
p. Sollender, came in on Thursday
afternoon from Grantsville, in the
Union mining district. and brought
in with them some very good news
about conditions in the district.
1--WE have been in there since last
November said Mr.. ~Sollender, and
we have demonstrated that there is
some more good properties besides
the big ones that have already been
proved. My brother and l have sew
eral properties there, one of which
we are satisfied is a winner in cop
per. We have six claims on one prop
osition, which runs right up the
mountain side for 500 feet. There
is a copper ledge on this three feet in
width. 1t will average in its entire
ty 81 per zen copper, two ounces in
silver and IS in gold.
eve have another property which
is rich in anthony, lead and silver.
The ledge is six feet wide and will
go right across the face 1881. 1t is
richer in anthony than the other
metals, running II per cent.
"Then adjoining the North Belle,
which is owned by James McQuillan
and w. J.. Douglass, we have four
claims, all of which have good show
ings and give good promise.
"All our property is heavily tim
bered; in fact there is no end of
wood and water, which makes it an
ideal camp. We have been working
with Tonopah capital behind us, and
l expect to go to California soon with
all three of these propositions.

the snow was on the ground and
there has been lots of it there since;
but we were not the only people ii

to find good properties. We are go.

STRIKE ON
LITTLE FLORENCE
HAS DEVELOPED INTO ONE OF
THE WONDERS OF GOLD
FIELD CAMP.

GOLDFIELD, May 25.-The strike
made on the Little Florence this
week has certainly developed into one
of the wonders of the camp. The
strike was not made on the Mohawk
Florence lease, as was at first report
ed. 1t was made through the Mo-
hawk Florence workings but was on
the ground of the Little Florence.
This will make but little difference
to the big holders in the Mohawk
Florence lease, who are identical with
those of the Little Florence lease. 1t
will make some difference, though, to
the big run of stockholders of the
Mohawk Florence; but in all prob
ability, there will be given a royalty
to the finders of the big strike.
The ore was cut sixty-five feet
lower than the location Of the famous
discovery on the Little Florence two
months ago. This was at the 30
foot level of the Little Florence,
which makes the latter find at a
depth of 275 feet. From this depth
there was a crosscut run 275 feet to
where the strike was made.
The Mohawk Florence is a strip of
ground ffty by 100 feet, so that the
strike is 175 feet beyond its ground.
On the new strike, the ledge is eigh-
teen feet wide from the footwall, the
hanging wall not yet having been en-
countered. The extra rich streak is
four and one-half feet in width. They
are now prosecuting on the ledge and
preparing to drift and stope. They
are taking out from forty to fifty feet
a day, of which twenty-five per cent
is of very high grade ore.
The lowest assay from the rich
stuff goes $5O6 a ton, and from that
it will go as high as $9S8. There
are, of course, all kinds of high
values besides, some of them going
away up in the pictures.

HIGH GRADE IS
Being UNCOVERED

The third level at the Ramsey
Bonanza mine is well started. The
next couple of weeks progress at
the famous mine will be closely
watched and there is good indica-
ton that a mining sensation will
develop comparable to anything yet
heard of in New Nevada. AS stated
in last weeks issue. depth in the
shaft has reached a much greater
naturalization of the formation they
are sinking in and the rock that
above would show but a trace of
gold, at the present level is carrying
low milling values in gold and pay
quantities of copper. They gray cop
per sulphides are very much in evil
dence and every thing goes to show
the workings are now In a wide ex-
tent of ore What progress is made
in the crosscut shows the great dixie
is going to hold up to expectations
and will on this new le eel prove a
greater and richer body of ore than
ever. There will be some little dis
lance to drive to catch the high grad
chute, which is over seven feet wide
on the second level. The three shifts
employed are getting ahead rapidly,
however, and their efforts viii be
given every advantage. Every day
promises something good for this
new level. Already the ore Is pro-
ducing much higher values than sim
liar strata on the level above and a
mrrmur of general satisfaction is go
ing around over the substantial re-
suits so far obtained.
OF course, the big pay chute is the
thing sought for, And they are go
ing to get 1t bigger and better than
ever. 1t is demonstrated to a large
extent it is carrying down and the
width of vein together with values
are decidedly on the increase. They
sunk a Wine about twenty feet o.
the rich ore chimney and in the bot,
tom there was a very great WIDENING
as well as a much greater quantity Of
metal. The ore shows the rich sui
phides much more diffused. On every
side of a chunk can be seen spatter
ings of gray copper and 1t is in thes'
dark spots the high grade values lie
There have been assays made of some
of these pieces that run into pictures
and the whole exposed surface Is car
rying greater values than the breasi
of the drift. The Wine made toe
much water to be given further at
tention and a shortage Of timber, al
Of which was needed for the shaft

further operation, but enough work
was done to thoroughly demonstrate
the big strike is going to be a hum

that the sensational Clark dixie will
be more famous than ever.

week was II. H. Clark, better known
as "Bullfrog Clark" He was GER
