man street Sunday evening, Capt
Tom Hulmston has been acclaimed
"Elys champion pedal performer

date. as the excitement caused by

number of sports to sit up and take
notice, indicating that the bicycle
game may he revived locally.
The contest Sunday. though short,
was not without its share of excite
ment and the friends of the loser
maintain that II he had not looked
around to locate his opponent when
he was in the lead in the middle of
the course. he could have eoasted
across the tape. The railroader took
the lead. but was riding second when
the Northern hotel corner was reach
ed He regained the lead, however,
and finished about length ahead of

her of well known riders. II Is prob
able that the next race will be be-
tween Luchesi and Hulmston.

TOM PLATT'S SEAT
New York State Senator Holds That
He Is Entitled to the job Through
Legislative Service.

NEW YORK. Aug 3.=Senator
John Raines of Cananidagua has de-
clared himself candidate for United
States senator from New York state,
to succeed Thomas c. Platt, on
March 4, 1909. Raines and his
friends are already at work in CEN
trail and western New York seeking
pledges from Republican nominees
for the senate and assembly.
Senator Raines has for many years
been the Republican laeder In the
state senate. He is basing his claim
upon the fact that he has served in
either the assembly. senate or house
of representatives for 27 years and is
therefore equipped to represent the
state in the upper branch of the ma
tional legislature. Another plea
which the lieutenants of Raines are
advancing is that the next United
States senator should come from the
western part of the state.

Sinking Shaft.

That the owners OF the Dolly Var
den mines have unlimited faith In
the future OF the property and the
resources of the district is demon
strated In the decision to begin ex-
tensive development at the mines

company, is now in the east for the
purpose of negotiating for the pur-
chase of a steam hoist and compress

900. Mr.. Nix will order the machin
cry shipped at once and 1t is be-
lieyed that the work of sinking will
be in full sway by the end Of the
month
Stockholders of the company have
decided to sink the shaft to depth
of 1000 feet. anticipating produc-
tion of vast amount of rich cop
per. gold and silver ore. This work
will not be taken up in the present
shaft, but the sinking will be con-
Quoted some distance from that
point.
Recent development at the Dolly
Warden property has given rise to
large hopes. Large ore deposits of
high grade have been revealed and
mining men are of the opinion that
development will place the Dolly
Warden at the top. Recent ship
mepts have netted the company
about s45 to the ton in gold, silver
and copper.
The new shaft will be of three
compartments. The company an
ticipates working the property on an
extensive scale following the install
ment of the new machinery. 1t Is
probable that President Nix will be
absent couple of weeks longer.

NOTES OF GOLDEN EAGLE.

Every pair Of eagles whose habits
! have had an opportunity Of watch
ing over a period Of a few years
would seem to have invariably at
least two alternative sights for their
nests: some have three, and | know
of one with four sites. In ket, |
only know of one pair out Of many
which habitually resort to but one
place and only one.
The reason for this is, however,
apparent, for owing to its situation
it has never been disturbed The
nest is in small cavern on the face
of an absolute wall of limestone rock
some 500 feet high, at about 400
feet from the summit. Above the
cliff is talus Of loose stone at an
angle Of Is degrees or so, above
which again rise other precipices.
To reach the nearest point above
this nest would be a long day'a york.
