HAS BIG STRIKE
BulIfrog Pioneer Is Soaking and
Shipping Gold Ore Worth
S400 Per Ton.

The Bullfrog Pioneer has caused so
many sensations of late that it is no sur
prise when the statement is given that
huge body of ore has been found which
gives returns Of 500 per ton. The big
high-grade ore body in the Wine is in
creasing in value 50 rapidly TO be al
most phenome lsl, says the Rhyolite Bull
letin Of Tuesday.
Superintendent J. r. Bryan was in
Rhyolite last evening and stated that the
ore IN the wlnze was increasing rapidly
IN value with each foot of development
and now they are sacking ore that will
give returns of 500 per ton. Three car
loads have been sent to the Selhy smelter
from which no returns have as yet been
received. and other cars are being loaded
as fast as the ore can be hauled to them.
At present there are about fifty men
employed on the property, thirty of whom
are In the mine. Good progress is being
m2de on the new working shaft and il is
being put down as rapidly as three shifts
Of men can do the work. About twenty
more miners will be added to the force as
soon as they can be obtained.
Samples of the ore brought in last night
by Mr.. Bryan, and On exhibition at the
First National bank. are the richest ever
shown in the district quartz being literal
" covered with gold.
A carload of ore was sent out today
which is expected to return between 500
and $500 to the ton.

also been done at the same place. The
outlook for that part of the mine is quite
promising, as there IS a very good grade

cheers. This was the widest re-

service. who demanded that if the
west is to preserve its forests there
must be state laws and men to en-
force them. This speech was heartily
seconded by Mr. Pinchot who in fur
thering this sentiment paid a strong
tribute to former President Roose-

such as to make 1t stand out from a.

Some treasury officials are inclined to
favor even a more radical change, and
recommend that paper money be re-

tions. These notes are about three
ffths the size of the American kind.
and are more convenient to handle.

TO START TRAINING.
Stanley KetcheI WiI Go to New York
This Week.

New York, Aug. sl0.-Stanley Ketchel,
who will fight Sam Langford, ten rounds
at the Fairmount "A. g. here on Sep
tcmber 3. is expected in New York be-
fore the week is over. Quarters have
already been retained for him in West
Chester county. and he will start heavy
training Immediately on his arrival.
Langford has already gone into training
at Boston and will not arrive here until
Il day or two before the fight.
In anticipation of the demand for
tickets, seats have been arranged about
the ring to seat 1000 persons and it is
expected that more than twice that
many persons will try to get into the
building. The club has 5000 members on
its rolls, but usually only about one
third of them witTtess fight.
If KetcheF can get himself into the
condition he was IN when he whipped
Jack O'Brten, the Hast time, he viii
have a large following. but If his con-
dition is stale, most of the money is
quite certain to be wagered on his
Gusky opponent For that reason, the
training of Ketchel will be closely OBJ
served by sporting men and the men
who have their money on Ketchel want
to be certain that he is in prime con-
cition when he enters the ring. Lang
ford is said to be Training faithfully
and while he has never tackled fast,
aggressive slugger of the KetcheI type,
he is confident that his science and his
heavy hitting will make the Michigan
man slow up in four or five rounds.

FLEW OVER THE ALPS.
The Balloon Sirius Thought to Have
Been Lost Is Heard From.

Chamouni, France. Aug. 1O.-1he bal
loon Sirius has succeeded in flying over
the Alps. The airship left here Sun
Cay under the pilotage of NJ. Spelterine
with three passengers. Fears were en-
tertained +or the voyagers' safety. but
they have been Cispelled by the receipt
OF a report that they have landed safe
ly near LocaTno, at an altitude Of 5.40O
feet. The foj4r men, however, still have
a dangerous path to cover on foot into
Locarno.
The Sirius traversed Mount Blanc and
scared over the Aiguiile Du Dru and
the Aigulle Verte. The highest alti-
tude attained was 1873 feet.
A successful balloon trip over Mount
Blanc and the Alps was made in No
vember of 1906, by two Italians aero
rauts, in the balloon Milano. The
greatest altitude reached on this trip
was 20,500 feet and the rarified atmos-
Phere made it necessary for the men to
resort to oxygen to keep alive.
