est amount ever received.
1t is estimated that the total ton
mage to be shipped this year will
be 100000 tons. This estimate is
based on shipments totaling 49,
966 up to October l. Last year
the tonnage shipped was only $50, :
900. In 1907 it was 100000 and
in 1906 it was 100000 The poor
showing made last year was on ac-
count of financial stringency and
the marked decrease in mining
operations.
1t is estimated that the state will
get, at 2 cents ton, 100000 in
royalties. In addition to this will
be the income from rentals and
minimum royalties from the non
producing mines, approximately
500, 900, which makes the total
$500, 900.

HOLD TRACK MEET FRIDAY
Two Teams Called Harvard and Yale
Will Compete in cinder Path
Sports

There will be a track meet next Fri
day afternoon between pupils Of the
Polytechnic high schools at the Wash
ington street cinder path. Two teams
have selected the names of the best
known universities in the United
States, namely. the Harvard and Yale.
From the dopesters it was learned
yesterday the Harvard team was the
stronger of the two teams, as most Of
the members are older athletes.
The Yale team captain says, notwith-
standing the fact his team will be
composed Of scrubs" he will show the
older pupils thing or two in track
athletics
Coach Skinner has both teams under
his personal charge and expects to
have a classy meet.
All Of the interscholastic events will
be tried out and judging from the ac-
tivity shownNb by the various students,
several good marks will be made.
Last Saturday the first team was
scheduled to meet the Monrovia high
school, but on account of the rain the
meet was postponed.

Reuss, Reaches Decision Which
Will Set New Mark for
Hill Climb

Begun as test of strictly stock

previous years has fallen into more or
less disrepute, this year will be again
restored to it's originally intended

and regulations which are so much
more rigid than those hitherto govern
ing this race that they are almost radi-
cal. But they will satisfy every dealer
who is frankly disposed to take a stock
car from his salesroom floor and pit it
against a similar car Of an opposition
dealer, subjected to the same strict
regula tions
The rules adopted by the Dealers as
sociation are very lengthy and have
been withheld from publication until
Sunday in order to insure the, widest
publicity for the automobile public.
There are fifteen events called for,
covering every class of car, from the
cheapest runabout to the highest priced
touring car. In addition there is one
class set aside for the strictly stripped"

BY GREAT SPURT
Especial to The Herald. ]

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-"Myste-
rious' George Miller, who halls from
Los Angeles, where he sprang into
prominence as the winner of the Los
Angeles -to-Venice long distance race,
took the measure of Soldier King and
the four other starters at the first pro-
fessional Marathon race that San Fran
cisco ever has witnessed, at the Colise-
um tonight.
Millers time was not fast, but his
performance. was sensational in the ex-
treme. Seven laps behind Soldier King
at the nineteenth mile, the mysterious
one kept plugging away, gained lap
after lap on the fast firing San Fran
cisco long distance runner, and when
they reached twenty miles and
eight laps he was even with King.
From then on the soldier was a beaten
man. Miller's time was hours Z min
utes % seconds.
