work is being done on the 800 level at
present. The vein has been well ex-
plored on that level and is shown to
extend clear across the leasing block,
averaging Is to 20 feet in width, ami
containing much low grade as well as
chimneys of high grade ore, from
which latter the shipments were sent
out. There is large tonnage of high
grade milling ore exposed there, and
this will be mixed with the high grade
that the vein is believed to hold on

uniform shipping grade when ship

trict OF this country. and that no matter
which side wins at the Democratic pri-
maries, there will be trouble ahead TO
placate the losers.
The conflict assumes interest because Of
two questions that will be involved. The
questions are good roads and prohibition

now most serious.
Mr.. Soper did not intend to run again
for the Legislature-he is getting rich on
apples and does not have TO touch politics.
But it is said he has a Grow to pick
with Mr.. Sapp and as soon as he heard
Mr.. Sapp or a man that he would name
would run for the Legislature from the
Eighth. soper announced his candidacy.
The Soper campaign. which viii be for
good roads and no-license in Kent county,
will contend that President Sapp and the
Levy Court which he now heads. has pur-
posely turned down the good roads propo-
sition for Kent county after Soper made
that his triumph in the Legislature and
that the Levy Court has turned down good
roads in the face OF numberless petitions
from farmers and grangers.
The contention is also made that Presi-
dent sapp. by applying close and non-pro-
gressive methods in the Levy Court and
ignoring the Soper good roads act even
to the extent OF refusing 10 build a trial
mile of road under the law. Is driving
from the party progressive men who made
it's success possible in Kent at the last

NEW RULES
MAKE GAME
UNCERTAIN

NEW YORK. Sept ga definite
line on the possibilities of the new
football rules is looked for this week,
when Yale. Harvard. Princeton. Dart.
mouth, Brown, West Point, Annapolis
and Cornell play their first games OF
the season.
Coaches refuse to accept the defeat
of Pennsylvania by Ursionus Satur-
day as indicating that the 1910 rules
have weakened the game or placed as
undue premium on the lighter teams.
They say that Pennsylvania defeat
was merely one of the fortunes of the
game, such as turned up now and then
under the old rules.
Fro mthe camps of all the big teams
however, come reports today that the
coaches are "aeroplaning" slightly and
are looking with misgiving on the out
come of their first games.
Saturdays games proved one thing
conclusively; the new game will be
more open than the old. which, II is
believed, will make il much more in
teresting from a spectators stand
point. With the open game, comes
the greater chance for unexpected and
startling plays, and a degree Of uncer-
tainty that will undoubtedly make
football more Of a popular sport than
II has ever been.
