GOVERNORS MANSION SITE

Montgomery, February 9.-(Spe- cial.)-Much speculation is indulged in on the part of citizens of Mont gomery as to the probable location of the governors mansion. The passage of the bill on yesterday providing for an appropriation with which to erect the mansion has been a source of much eradication to the people of this city. and hun dred suggestions have been heard as to good locations for the resi- dence of the states chief execu- tive.
 It Is probable that real estate agents in the city will offer many desirable sites to the mansion com mission before any location has been decided upon, though it is ex- pected that many weeks will elapse before anything definite is given out on the subject.

He sleeps well and is healthy and very
strong. His appetite is more like that
of a grown person, than a baby. For
breakfast he will eat three and four
large biscuits with bacon gravy, butter
and syrup; two glasses of buttbrmilk
and if allowed two cups of coffee. Be-
tween breakfast and dinner he will eat
two more biscuits W ith butter and syrup
For dinner he will eat a large plate of
greens or any kind of vegetables with
boiled bacon, corn bread, biscuit and a
whole pie if can get it, with two
glasses of milk.
He eats again between dinner and SUP

American Representative Wins Cup

Eastchurch, England July 1.-Charles
T. Weymsnn, the representive of the
United States, today won the interna-
tional aviation cup.
He covered the course, approximate
ly 81 miles, in II minutes 36 3-5 Seconds,
an average of n miles an hour.
Alfre lie Blanc of France vas second,
with an avarage of Is miles.
Edouard Nieuport, France, was third,
with an avarage of trifle under rs
miles, while Alec Ogilvie of England,
the only other aviator to complete the
course, took 100 minutes, avering about
TIA miles.
There was much Disappointment that
Claude Graham White, the British
aviator, who won the cup at Belmont
park N. Y, last year, did not compete.
He excused himself on the ground that
only freak machine would win.
Of the other competitors, Chevalier
of France and Hamel of Great Britain
met with accidents. D. Graham. Gil
mour, who was entered, did not start.
Today's competition proved that the
wind rs factor against air racing is
becoming less important. Flying this
morning in high, gusty wind, Wey-
mann made better time than when abso
lutte calm prevailed.
There were many exciting moments,

The grubstake committee took steps

It is less than 60 miles from Denver.
Tomorrow men will be on the field.
The Blake mining district, Camp Vir-

Miss G. Norcross Of Fort Collins has

Today's is the third race for the in

Glenn H. Curtiss, the American, at

Belmont Park, L. L., in 1910, was won
by Claude Grahame- White of Great

The present event required 25 trips
around the circular course, making a
total distance of 80. miles.
Gustave Hamel, the first to get
away in the race, started in strong,
gust of wind and had not completed the
first circuit when the machine pitched
violently and the aviator was thrown
out. He was not much hurt.
Chevalier, the French aviator, came
to grief in the twelfth lap. He was
going finely, but while turning got in

they saw at once, trained as they have

investigation, Mr.. Groth has been
working for years in that quarter and
he has seven claims for which patents
have been applied, and, having nothing
further to fear from litigation, he ap-
peared before the committee to re-
quest them to investigate the district

has enough for himself and he would
like to see the rest of the country de-

to be filed on with ore indication as
good as those from which he has ship
ped rich ore. Smelter returns on sub

The tunnel is 800 feet long and the
