 Liberal prizes will be awarded the winners. Chairman Ernest E. Hughes cf the drilling committee and Sam Briscoe and |. S. Ratteree, the other members of the committee, met last night and made the apportionment of the prizes for the contest winners. The prizes will be awarded as fol- lows:

 8 for each man on the stone. Second prize, $50. All men in single-handed contest will use four-pound hammer of seyen-eighths steel.
 SsoO Awarded in All.
 This will make an award of $500 in all, allowed by the general Labor Day committee, in addition to the en- trance fees. As Chairman Hughes expects in the neighhorhood of a dog en men to enter the three-man contest the entrance fees will probably amount to about $40. Mir. Hughes says there will probably be a half dozen enter the single contest.
 Many of the districts best drillers are hard at work practieing for the big contests and 1t is probable that the record made at Calumet will be smashed on the local rock. The three man team there made 59 IA inches and this is not regarded as formidable by local drilIers. While the rock used here has seen many records smashed it has never been used in a three-man contest.
 Records Held by Rock.
 The drill rock at the Holbrook shaft, which will again be brought to the postoffice plaza for the coming contests, holds a number of world records. Robert Chamberlain and Carl Make, constituting a two-man team, smashed the worlds record here in 1905 in the Fourth of July contest, drilling 46 11-16 inches. Both men are from Cripple Creek. Ross and McIver of Cripple Creek drilled 45 3-S inches on the same day and were defeated.
 Sel Tar's Record.
 Sel Tar, holder of the worlds straight-away record, made that rec ord on the Holbrook rock in Bisbee in 1906. He drilled SS inches with an eight-pound hammer, beating Rcss who drilled g 1-4 inches. Ross drop ped $500 in that contest Tar brothers drilled 42 IS inches on the local rock Yorkie of Colorado drilled 26 inches single handed.
 The worlds amateur record is also held by the HOlbrook rock. It was made by Billy O'Neil and Carl Carl son, who drilled 40 5-S inches at Lo well two years ago. It was on this rock also that Harvey Hughes, sor of Ernest Hughes, made the grea boys record of i9 I-2 inches single handed when but 16 years of age | This was five years ago. Easy to Beat 5s f-4. ] It is the opinion of local Grilleri that the record made at Calumet by ; ! three-man team will be smashed or l Labor Day. 1t is pointed out that thu ! two man team on the Fourth mad' ] 3e inches. and. they were amateurs i Professionals wili enter the comini contest. This is a free for all con test said Chairman Hughes las night. We will enter any man iron | Cochise county on the payment o I the entrance fees.
 All entrance fees must be paid tl ! Chairman Hughes not later than Sept 1. Not in years has there been such iu I fterest as is now being shown in tn' ! drilling game and it is certain tha some tall drilling will be done in Bis i bee on the morning Of Labor Day.
