MUCK|NG CONTEST ExCITES INTEREST
LARGE NUMBER OF MINERS HAVE EXPRESSED INTENTION OF ENTERING EVENT.

Never has an event been arranged for that excited more interest than the mucking contest which is to be the principal feature of the ceIe- .bration at Lowell on the evening of July Fourth. It is probable from the number of entries already receiv- ed that the men competing will run over the half century mark. The prize for this event will consist of a s1OO purse and the entrance money.
 Each mine in the district will furnish several contestants to the event it is stated. many of them having entered into regular training for the event, as if for a drilling con test or any other test of strength and skill Twelve have already paid the entrance fee of SI. Bets were made yesterday in Lowell that the winner would better three and a half minutes in muckiag the orc from one bin to the other.
 The ore to be used in the con. test will probably be a suIphide. this being the heaviest. although loose and adaptable to being shoveIed The rules under which the test will be conducted specify two tons ol ore to be shoveled off of a turn sheet into a bin adjoining over { | three-foot partition.
