NEVADA-UNITED
TO RESUME ACTION
Conditions Favorable at the Big Cop
per Property Near
loVclock.

John T. Reid. general manager for
the Nevada United Mining company,
operating the big copper property az
White Cloud, returned the early part
OF this week from an inspection trip
to his property, says the Lovelock Re-
View.
During the latter part OF January the
Nevada United property was forced
to close down on account of encounter
ing a large flow of water. In driving
a crosscut tunnel to tap the big veins
of ore channel of water was opened
up and the flow was so great that work
had to be abandoned. 1t is estimated
that fully one million gallons OF water
was flowing out OF the tunnel every
twenty-four house. The water came
out with such force that 1t was impos-
sible to get closer than within twenty
feet of the face of the tunnel
Mr. Reid said that the flow Of water
was somewhat reduced now, but not
sufficiently TO permit the resumption
of work. He was able TO reach the
face Of the tunnel though the task
was little difficult,
II was able to make a partial In
spection of the formation" continued
Mr. Reid, "and l must say that 1t
looks most encouraging, There are
many evidences of ore and all the
conditions point To opening up some
thing big soon after work can be re-
sumed From all appearances ] think
We can be able to combat the water
within the next thirty days. and II ar
rangements can be made the Nevada
United will resume operations on
much larger scale than ever before. y
Mr.. Reid expects to leave shortly
for a trip to New York and other
eastern points En- route he Will
visit Ely. Park City. Utah; Joplin,
Mo-; Ducktown. Tenn, and Franklin
Furnace. y. ]. He will study the
mining conditions In these several
camps He expects to be absent
about thirty days.

of , his wife, which occurred nearly
two years ago. Constantine Wickman,
a waiter. ended his life in local un-
dertaking parlor today by firing pis-
tol bullet through his head. Although

first shot walked several blocks to
the place where his second shot ter

From letters it was learned that
Wickman had for twenty months plot
ted to kill the nurse who attended
his wife during her illness. One Of
the charges he made against the nurse
was that his wife was sent to the
morgue "an hour before she was dead. "
The police believe that the man was

MINING NEWS
GOLD STRIKE
NEAR LovELocK
Many Locations Are Made Close to the
Town Limits.

Not for many months has Loyelock
been so wrought up over a mining
excitement as II has for the past ten
DAYS and by the hurry and hustle
Of the prospectors, merchants and all
classes of men In thei- eagerness to
reach the new diggings, one is re-
minded of the early-lay prosperity.
All during last week the livery stables
and auto drivers did thriving bust
ness carrying parties to and from the
new strike, says the Lovelock Review.
The new find Is located In the low
range Of mountains about six miles
southwest of Lovelock and from re-
ports received by some of the return
ing pilgrims the section gives prom
ise OF opening into one Of merit.
Some four months ago p. NJ. Burns,
former Colorado mining operator
and prospector. visited the section and
commenced a systematic course Of
prospecting. He kept his own coun-
sci and said nothing Of his operations
Some ten days ago, however, 1t was
noised about that a big strike had
been made and In a short time the
big rush was on and at present there
are more than hundred locations
A Review representative visited Mr..
Burns property yesterday and when
asked about the new section, he said:
The district thus far shows an
area Of about five miles square. The
country is interlaced with numerous
big lodges which outcrop quite prom
inently. There Is system OF lodges
running north and south and sys-
TEN running east and west, thereby
forming many functions.
THE veins are contact veins, living
between granite and blue limo. The
lelges are very strong. varying in
width from two to twelve feet and
the work thus far shows perfect and
smooth walls. The vein matter con-
sists OF a blue and brown quartz
showing iron oxides and is very sim
liar to the formation In the Colorado
mines where sylvanite is found The
ore is base and does not pan.
"On the Rock of Ages claim, owned
by myself and associates. ten-foot
hole has been sunk, In the bottom
there Is a two-foot ledge which gives
a return of S40.56, At the surface the
values only run 60 cents in gold to
the ton. On the Rock OF Ages No. 1
an adjoining claim, good showings
are also being had. At the grass
roots an assay of s4.S5 was obtained
At depth of five feet the values run
$1005 and at eight feet S21.96, show
ings a good increase as depth is at
tained Float has been found which
carries values to the tune Of SIS"
Mr.. Burns Is very enthusiastic over
the new country and he Is confident
that with the proper development the
new section will open into something
big.

WANT VANDERBILT.
RACE THIS FALL
STOCK CHASSIE COMPETITION
PERMISSIBLE
Change in Deed of Gift Permits Piston
Displacement Classification.
Committee Takes
Action

II. E. Coffin. chairman of the gem
eral rules committee of the Manufac-
turers' Contest association, has notified
the makers of the country that a race
for the Vanderbilt cup will be held dur
ing the latter part of October if a
sufficient number of entries to insure
it's success are pledged on or before
September l. A hasty canvass of the
situation is being made by telegraph.
If the makers guarantee the minimum
number of entries required the race
will be conducted by new association
formed pursuant to the A. G. A.-A. A.
A. peace agreement, which association
will assume the custody of both the
Vanderbilt cup and the Grand Prix cup.
The actual incorporation of this hold
ing body will take place when the Van
derbilt race of this year is assured. In
its membership are men of national i'm
portance in automobile matters.
By a change in the deed of gift the
Vanderbilt cup will become one for
stock chassis competition under piston
displacement classifications recon-
mended by the Manufacturers Contest
association as follows
i. The Vanderbilt cup race shall be
open to cars of subclasses (451 to 600
cubic inch piston displacemenD and 2
toul " 4oV tupic lilCil plSlOn uiSpidCc-
menD in class b under the classified
tions of the A. A. A. racing rules for

2 (231s to 800 cubic inch piston displace-
ment and another for class 4 Q61 to
230 cubic inch piston displacemenD un-
der the same classfications, these races
to be run at the same time and on the
same course, but for shorter distances
If the Vanderbilt race is held it will
be run over the part of the Long Island
motor parkway used in the cup event
of 1908, with probably the same county
and town roads. There is a possi-
bility of the course being shortened by
about four miles. This would greatly
simplify the matter of proper guard
ing and enhance the event from a spec
tator's standpoint. The race, if held,
will be under the sanction of the A.

NEW WORLDS SPEED
RECORDS ARE MADE
Smashing Seven Old Marks, oIdfield's
Work at Speedway Races Being
Greatest Performance
in History

Smashing seven worlds records at
the Indianapolis speedway, Barney
Olfeld set a pace that is in itself the
greatest performance in motor racing
history.
The first new record was track
mile in 431 seconds, cutting 81 seconds
off the mark set by Ralph De Palma
June 19. The second worlds recoro to
fall was the kilometer which he made
in 262 seconds, lowering the time of
26.7 seconds which Walter Christie had
made only a few minutes before on the
same track.
Greater than all other achievements
was the record d-breaking 25 mile event
won in the remarkable time of q min
utes PIT seconds. In sustaining this
marvellous rate of speed Oldfield es-
tablished a new fiVe-mile recordt in
minutes 11.3 seconds, ten-mile in s
minutes 15.9 seconds, 15-mile in IL min
utes 32.4 seconds, and 20-mile record
in 16 minutes 53.8 seconds,
In covering the course Olfield showed
his confidence in Firestone tires by
throwing caution to the winds and
driving with old-time daring and recS-
lessness, hardly slackening speed to
maks the turns. For two years back
Barney Oldfield has used Firestone
tires exclusively, showing how i'm
portant part he considers tire equip
ment in insuring safety from accident.

DAY SET FOR
OLYMPICS' MEET
ANNUAL AUTOMOBILE RACE is
SEPTEMBER 1o
TanForan Track to Be Put in Best
Possible Conditon-TwelVe
Races, Including Motor
cycle Contests

The annual automobile race meet
under the management of the Olympic
club of San Francisco is set for Sum
day, September 10, according to an an
nouncement made by ]. A. Kennedy.
automobile commissioner of the club.
The meet is to be held on the Tanforan
track, as in the past. Immediately
after the 300-mie race for the st.
Francis cup at Tanforan today officials
of the club will take charge of the
track with a gang of men and put it
into the finest possible shape to insure
speed and safety. In the two meets
which have already been given by the
Olympic club there has not been a Sc
rious accident. and safety above all
other things will be the care of the
club.
The program will consist of twelve
races. including motorcycle contests, a
novelty race and two races for ma
chimes owned by members of the club.
In the last two years the club has
given prizes only to each winner, but
this year there will be a prize for first
and second places at least. The meet
will be preceded on Friday evening by
a great automobile parade, in which
there will be prizes for the best deco
rated machines, and perhaps for other
features. Such a parade was held last
year, and 1t served TO Drlng out nun
dreds of machines in demonstration
that was a revelation to the general
public.
On Sunday, September II, the annual
run for members of the club will be
held. Those who own machines will
take them, and those who do not will
be enabled to attend at a minimum ex-
/ pense through arrangements made by
| the club The cars will leave the
Olympic club at $50 o'clock in the
morning, and will arrive in San Jose
about noon They will be met at Santa
Clara by Mayor Dawson of San Jose
and President G. B. Polhemus of the
Santa Clara County Automobile club,
who will welcome them and escort
them into San Jose. Headquarters in
San Jose will be at the Vendome,
where there is fine swimming tank.
Lunch is to be served at 1:30 o'clock
on the lawn in front of the hotel. Dur
ing the luncheon there will be a vau-
deville entertainment for the amuse-
ment of the guests. The return to San
Francisco is to be made at the con-
venience of the individual members.

OBSTACLE RACE is
LATEST FOR WOMEN
New Form of Automobile Contests in
Which Fair Sex Shows Skill
and Puts Cars to Severe
Test

A new form of automobile contest,
which puts to severe test not only the
mechanism and control of the car, but
the skill and judgment of the driver,
is the obstacle race, devised more par
ticularly for electric cars, is now the
fad" in the east. 1t is also one OF
the few contests which are not tao Sc
we're to permit of women participat-
ing; and wherever one is held, Wom-
en- will be found driving their own
cars.
When the distance has been laid out
obstacles of various sorts are scattered
over it. They are placed so that only
driving of the most careful sort will
take a car through without bowling
over the barrels, boxes and whatnot
used to obstruct the course, and put
straight steering almost entirely out of
the question.
In a race of this kind recently held
at Kansas City, Mrs. w. S. Hathaway
won first prize with her electric, COM
peting against seven other electric
machines. The conditions of this
event were particularly drastic, the
obstacles being placed in such a man
ner that quick turns and most careful
of straight driving were necessary.
