MONEY FOR FLEET
FUND POURS IN
Appeal to Businessmen and
General Public Meets a
Generous Response
Little Doubt Remains That the
100000 Will Shortly
Be Subscribed

Since the finance committee for the
reception of the fleet sent out its appeal
to the businessmen of the city, sub
scriptfons have been pouring in from all
sides. There is little doubt now of
shortly.
When the appeal was sent out there
was some fear that the subscriptions
would be coming in too late, but that
fear is now dispelled. Despite the
hardships that San Francisco mer-
chants have had to undergo, and in the
face of the financial panic through
which they have lately passed, they
have shown themselves ready to stand
by San Francisco and maintain it's rep
utation of being the most hospitable
city in the world. The following is
list of subscriptions up to date:

HIGH GRADE ORE
near WADSWORTH

RENO, Oct. 3.-The old town of
Wadsworth yesterday awakened from
it's long slumber and experienced a
mining excitement. A prospector
named Packard entered Wadsworth
early yesterday morning with some
ore that fairly glistened with gold
and reported that he had discovered
large ledge of high grade gold ore
at Black Warrior peak, a short dis
tance from Pyramid lake.
1t is the opinion of many that the
gold discovery is on the Pyramid res
ervation and that even though the
stampeders locate claims, they will
be- unable to work them until the
res servation is thrown open to the
public as the Walker Lake reserva-
tion was a few years ago.

of Kansas, at o'clock this morning,
and ending at Topeka with two mon
ster meetings tonight, William H.
Taft today reached the climax in
crowds and enthusiasm of his cam
paign trip began eleven days ago at
Cincinnati. In fourteen speeches de-
livered during the day and evening
by Taft, he not only talked of tariff,
trusts and labor, but furnished Kan
sas farmers an itemized account OF
the increased profits they made in the
last year because of the operation OF
the principle of protection, as he
termed 1t, over what they made un'
der Democratic enforcement of free
trade.

RENO, Oct. 3.-Superintendent
Manson, Chief Engineer Thomas
Fitzgerald and Assistant Superin-
tendent kowlands of the Salt Lake
division of the Oregon Short Line ar
rived in Sparks yesterday morning in
the private car "Buena Ventura"
They left last night for Nina where
they will attend to matters prepara-
tory to resuming traffic over the old
narrow gauge railroad from Nina to
Candelaria. The road was built in
the early days of Candelaria when
that camp was one of the booming
mining towns of Nevada.
For the last five years the road has
been idle owing to the lack of traf,
fic but on the request of several
mining companies in the neighbor'
hood of the old town who have guar
anteed sufficient tonnage the railroad
company has decided to resume oper
ations. The needed repairs will b'
rsuhed to completion as the frs
shipment of ore will be made abou
October 10.

pITTSBURG LOOKS
TO BE THE WINNER
Defeat of New York Saturday
May Cost That Team the
National Pennant,

NEW YORK, Oct, $50 close
down will be the finish of the race for
the pennant in the National baseball
league that any one of the three
leading teams-Ptitsburg Chicago or
New York-may win. The defeat of
New York today was costly for that
team, for even by winning the three
remaining games New York has to
play with Boston, Pittsburg can win
the pennant by winning the last game
of the season from Chicago.
On the other hand, if Chicago de-
feats Pittsburg and New York wins
it's remaining games, New York can
do no better than to tie with Chicago.
1t thus seems the game between
Pittsburg and Chicago today will be
the crucial test of the entire season,
disposing entirely of the chances of
one or the other of the two clubs. II
Pittsburg loses the game that team
will be behind Chicago in the final
team standing. The tie game played
by New York and Chicago September
29, has yet to be finally decided. The
results of today's games were as fol
lows:
Philadelphia - Philadelphia, 3
New York, 2.
Brooklyn-Brooklyn, 2; Boston, 0
st. Louis-Pittsburg, 8; st. Louis
