SCHEDULES FIGURE
IN FOOTBALL RACE
Big Teams Will Tackle Few
Common Opponents
This Year.
CRIMSON BOOKINGS
EASIER THAN YALE
PENIS Games Best Suited to
Steady Development, as
Teams Are Graded.

For the next two weeks the football
forces at the various colleges, big and
little, Will be assembling at their re-
spective camps, and they VIII continue
TO assemble until college has opened.
The playing Of schedules Will begin
from one TO three weeks after candi-
dates begin TO report for preliminary
practice. In playing regular games the
Carlisle Indians are, as usual, first in
the field They will set the r.gsIin flying
next Saturday in a game with Albright
College.
Yale, which has turned out more
champion eievens than any of the others
and where football has been played
more expertly than anywhere else, has
fewer games scheduled this year than
either Harvard or Princeton, her two
great rivals. The Yale schedule for 1908
consists Of only nine games, whereas
both Harvard and Princeton each have
ten.
Brown Common Opponent.
The only common opponent which
Yale and Harvard have is Brown. the
latter team playing the Crimson and the
Blue week apart Brown counts on
a smashing good team this year, and
there may be a defeat in store for the
New Haven or Cambridge men at the
hands Of the Brunnonians. Harvard
doesn't strike hard teams as early in
the season as Yale. BowdOin, Maine.
Bates. Williams, and the Springfield
Training School play at Soldier Field
in the order named.
There is a rather sudden change from
one class of opponents to another, for
after the five mentioned the schedule
brings Annapolis, Brown, Carlisle. Dart
mouth. and then Yale This means that
the Crimson viii have been through a
trying siege by the time Of the Yale
game and have had much good eN-
perience with strong eleVens- On the
whole the schedule does not look quite
so hard as Yale's, particularly when the
fact that the latter has to meet Prince
ton is considered.
Little Chance for Comparison.
Princeton and Yale have opponents in
common in Syracuse and West Point.
But the latter two play The Tigers on
dates which are SO far apart from the
Yale dates that thei- games with Yale
and with Princeton do not afford MITCH

controversy in this wise:
The original survey was made in 1851.
II IS claimed that the base line estab-
Iished at that time was at Mason's 'dobe
in Mason valley. This survey was I'M
contested untfl some four or five years
ago. when Esmeralda and Nye counties
began to dispute the possession of To-
nopah, the controversy ending by the
selection Of the United States surveyor
general as an arbitrator. The survey
made at that time by the arbitrator used
as a base line an old mill about four
teen miles from Rawhide. n the north
easterly projection Of the line between
Churchill and Esmeralda passed. Church
i'll claims, about a mile and a half south
west of Rawhide. . 1t is claimed. also.
that when Chute and Taylor made their
survey, they established a base line
some eight or nine miles of
the Mason 'dobe, instead of that es-
tablished in 1861. Churchilfs position
Is that the original survey must be fol-
lowed. and for that purpose. Allen and
Grimes are at Carson.
Sentiment in the camp is divided. there
being those who are loyal to Churchill,
as well as those who give their allegf-
ance to Esmeralda. That Fallon as a
county seat would be more convenient
is certain. since Fallon is reached in
three hours, at an expense of $40. while
in order to reach Goldheld, the seat of
Esmeralda. requires a stage or automo-
bile trip of "a miles to Schurz. then a
railroad journey of about 100 miles to

morning for Pasadena, Cal, where they
will visit for a week or so and then pro-
coed to Mr.. Merrilfs old home at Ala
media, Cal. opposite San Francisco. He
will leave his family at Alameda, after
he has visited there for a week or so.
and looked after the experiments which
he has been making in the small plant
which he had erected in San Francisco
for the treatment of ores from the Gold
field Consolidated Mining company's
grounds, the object being to discover
the best and most economical process
He will then go to Goldfeld, after he has
determined the best way to treat those
ores and look the ground over, and, per-
haps begin on the construction of the
plant that he is to erect and manage for
that company at that place. He will re-
turn to Lead about the middle of May.
but his family will remain in Alameda.

Stimler is in the list of shippers, and
from present indications II will remain
there for sometime, at least until local
means for treating the proposition are
provided. The initial shipment was
brought into Blair the early part of the
week. and consisted of about ten tons.
AS rapidly as 1t will be possible to do so
this will be increased until a forty-ton
car can be loaded. which. should no
storms Interfere. will be early the COM
ing week. The ore is from the Watson
Irvine ground, and all CT the many who
have examined the workings within the
past week say there is a magnificent
showing, and, with the installation or
the hoist, which arrived last Saturday,
there should be a steady stream of high
grade ore pouring forth.
The shaft will be put down to at least
the s0o-foot mark. and crosscuts driven
to the ore shoot which has been tapped
on the 90-foot level by a crosscut which
is in thirty feet.
