Tie Between Ford and Buick
Discussed This Afternoon
Referee Caverly an0 Judges VIII Decide Whether to
Have Cars Go Over Times Reliability Run
Course Again-More Incidents.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

To run. or not run-that is the ques-
ton.
The answer viii be given at The Times
office this afternoon. when Robert b.
Caverly, as referee, and II. c. Chandiee,
DR.. /. II. Mcconnell, and W. 6. Copen-
haver, judges. viii hear the arguments
from Sam Luttren, driver Of the Buick
in The Times reliability run on June
9. and Charles =. Miller. driver Of the
Ford Roadster. concerning the best way
OF breaking the tie between their ma
chimes, both Of which finished with the
remarkably good score Of two points
off.
Mr.. Luttrell is IN favor of going over
the entire course again. Mr.. Miller IS
not averse to such a test. but has SO
many other engagements that he says
it Will be difficult for him TO find the
time. The referee and judges will so
thoroughly into the matter and try TO
come at some conclusion which will
be satisfactory 10 an hands. Should
no other solution appear both will prob
ably receive cups.
Great Credit to Both.
Both Of these little fellows made such
splendid showings that no matter how
the final awarding of the cup may 60,
the second man will have practically as
much credit as his successful driver.
cor both demonstrated clearly that their
light machines have astonishing staying
qualities for rough touring work.
A similar tie arose last year for the
Hover trophy IN the Guddeu tou-. and

Beecroft FavOrs Run Of.
David Beecfoft, chairman OF the tech
nical committee Of the American Auto
mobile Association. and editor OF Motor
Age, who was referee Of The Tines re-
liability run, is rather inclined to favor
the proposition to have the Ford and
Buick go over the course again. but had
20 depart yesterday afternoon for chi
caeo. and left Mr.. Caverly and the
judges In charge. In the meantime,
both cars are under guard at the Du-

OF the committee ana checkers, scOr-
ers. and the whole list OF officials VIII

DOUBLE SHIFT AT WORK
ON THE GIBRALTAR LEASE

The management of the Gibraltar
lease on Combination No. 3 is saving
wood and saying little. The fact that Il
double shift was put on last week, how
ever, indicates that the management
has every confidence in getting ore. The
big ledge opened up by the Moore lease
Immediately on the north, is assaying
well clear across, values approaching
the shipping grade. This ledge runs
right through the Gibraltar from one
sideline to the other, just west of the
Gibraltar shaft 1t is the belief of
those best posted that this big ledge
will show up some good ore shoots on
this ground.

The cause for this upward movement, adding
greatly to the worth of the outstanding shares may be
noted in the company IS mines Through the kindness
of General Superintendent Hampton and Superntend-
ent Canovan, a representative of The News per-
mitted to inspect the workings day this week and
given all information requested regarding the
bodies.
Splendid developments have taken place in at least
three portions of the Mohawk and Combination during
the past few days. The most notable is the finding of
the extension of the SheetsIsh high grade shoot
Three feet of this body breaks 1925 to the ton,
while the entire balance of the breast $50. The
width of the ore body that may be broken to mill
grade has yet been computed, but there is

find was made on the 359foot level of the Mohawk.
Also in Mohawk ground, but well to the

doubt the widest fssure vein for its mineral

PURITAN LOOKS WELL

The Puritan lease on Combination No.
3, which resumed work under Oswald
Stein, last week is one of the most
promising leases Of the camp. Mr.. Stein
says that he will sink, perhaps, to 500
feet before he will do much lateral
work, believing that depth will be nee
essary to reach the ore zone. However,
future plans depend much upon sur
rounding developments. The Puritan
lease joins the Rosebud on the west. and
the Rosebud has been getting some good
assays of late. Should an ore shoot be
opened up by the Rosebud, bee line
would be made from the Puritan shaft
to the ore.

1t is reasonable to expect that within
thirty days, or shortly thereafter, an
other dividend of ten cents, amounting
to $105,0O0, will be paid by the Flor
ence Goldfield This will leave third
of million dollars in the treasury, with
royalties flowing in constantly.
Little Florence and Goldfield Flor
ence seem to be approaching some sort
of settlement that will release a large
sum of money, the property of the leas-
ing company, from the custody of the
courts. The sum should be amply suf-
fcient to afford shareholders a chunk oe
velvet money.
The Engineers lease, which pays
$4,000 every several weeks, is again
threatened with bursting Golfers and
will probably call for cut next week.
Mohawk Jumbo is getting in big
check every day or two and the share
holders will shortly be enriched there-
from.
Combination Fraction is hard prop
osition to estimate, because those in
charge of affairs keep their own conn
