Good Ice Races
OnLewiston Track.

Lewiston, Me. Feb. 2.-tSpeciaD. That
1t Is never too cold to draw a crowd.
when good horse race Is On foot. was
amply proven Wednesday in this city A
bitterly cold wind swept across the track
all the afternoon. But the races were
sufficiently interesting to hold nearly all
of the spectators until after s O'clock
The matched race between the bay
stallion johnson and the bay mare Belle
/; was the attraction that most of the
sports were waiting for. johnson is a
trotter by Wilkes, S571. The mare Is Il
PAGER by Commander 21sa, son of
Wilkes. Each of these had plenty OF
friends. we are informed that several
wageIts were laid, beside the original
stake of $50 side. The race was easy
for Johnson. The time was slow. We
have seen him trot quarters four seconds
faster than the fastest one in this race.
The mare is a beauty, one that will learn
to go fast, but is not familiar enough
with the game to tackle n horse like her
competitor.
The first two races went off rather SLOW
~. the horses induleing in the pastime
of throwing shoes, delaying the sport
to rather a tiresome extent
In the trotting race the driver of Via
Mala lost the third heat. In scoring no
broke check. and one or two of the
commandments. then refused to continue
the race. Some mighty crooked driving
took place in Glass or Dawn Ambu-
lator would have won out.

ERNEST PETERSON DRIFTING

A a depth of 126 feet levels have Teen run by Ernest Peterson on the FIiodrichs lead at Ridgetop and they have now been run for distance of 12 feet each way. The ledge is maintaining its width and the val ucs. both in the east and west drift nave been increased very materially The showing is highly encouraging although the ore shoot is somewhat narrower than in the shaft.
 In the drift to the east from the shaft the ore shoot Is about ten inches wide, and panningS indicate very high values. The values, how ever. are better in the west drift where the shoot is about eight inch es wide, and the indications are hat the ore would run in the neigh borho0d of $la0 to the ton.
 Mir. Peterson purposes running the levels for loo feet each way and hen commencing to stope. The irifting is somewhat slow as the rock is very hard. being a cross for mation. Al the present time Alois Friedrich is sinking another shaft further down the hill, about 1,000 feet above the creek. This is al ready down to a depth of about l5 feet.
