SPEED KINGS LIKE TRACK
Prediction is Made That Records Will
be neutrality-suspicious. Throng the
Grand Stands to Watch Tryouts of
Racing Cars and Work Of Drivers.

At eleven O'Clock today the new
Wauwatosa course over which the Van
derbilt cup, Grand Prix, Pabst Blue
Ribbon and Wisconsin Motor Chal-
Ienge road races will be run this week
and next, formally became the world IS
headquarters for speed. At that hour
the route was turned over to the
speeders and instantly they cut loose
an the preliminary practice, restless
from the restraint Of several days
while the finishing touches were being
applied to the eight miles Of speedway.
Excepting at the grand stand the
course was barred, absolutely to spec
tators. Admission to the grand stand
was free and interest in the race pro-
gram was attested by the large at
tendance. For the past week each day
has witnessed the attendance of thous-
ands at the course, even the last stages
of construction work proving of great
interest generally. The work at the
pits attracts the guests. Always in
teresting this feature of automobile
racing probably is of greater magni-
tude during the preliminaries, as it is
during that period that carburetors

nicely in readiness for the great tests
of space eating and endurance.
Practically all the speed fends had
arrived by Monday night. AS early
as Sunday several of them had taken
their machines for inspection tours
about the course. Ralph De Palma,
the Mercedes driver, and his brother
John, who will drive a Mason in the
Light car events, were among the first
to take to the route, and both pro-
nounced it fine Bruce-Brown, Bragg
and others also have complimented the
management on the great improve
ments to the course during the past
three or four days.
During the early preliminaries Bragg
will try out new carburetor on the
same Fiat which he drove at Savan-
nah. He has hopes that it will in
crease the speed powers Of the big
machine. Nearly every other driver
is making experiments of similar
nature.
Among the later arrivals are Erwin
Bergdoll, winner of the Fairmont Park
race, with his big Benz, and Mort
Roberts who heads the Mason team.
Practically all the race camps are
established, and they extend well
along Burleigh street and both Fond
du Lac roads. There are special head
quarters of that kind for every team,
and in some instances there are as
many as four cars and dozen men.
Several of the drivers, PARTICULARS
Bragg, have expressed the opinion that
the Wauwatosa track will be condu-
Give to greater speed than the Santa
Monica route, insisting that the Wau-
watosa road surface is better adapted

Use COURSE TODAY STATE AID roads,
Much Interest is shown by
Visitors in Exhibition
at State Fair.
FAVOR CONCRETE FOR ROADS

The exhibit Of the state highway
commission of Wisconsin at che state
fair last week attracted great atten-
ton. Photographs were shown Of
roads constructed under the new state
aid law in nearly every county in the
state and the interest Of the taxpay-
ers in the campaign for good road was
evident from the number and charac-
ter of those who studied the exhibit.
One of the interesting features of
the exhibit was map of the towns
in the state which became entitled to
state aid for road construction in 1912
by appropriating money and tie
towns which are already on record for
state funds in 1913. For example, only
one town in Price county applied for
state aid in 1912, while for 1913 every
town in the county appears on the
map, except one.
The same reversal of sentiment has
been shown all over the state, with
the result that, according to the esti-
mates of A. R. Hirst, the state high
way engineer, made from such figures
as are obtainable before the official
statement in October, the appropria-
tions by towns and counties will call
for $S50,000 from the state. There
has been appropriated $350,000 for
1913, hence the legislature will have
to make a special appropriation or
towns will be cut down to very low
proportion of the figure asked for.
Many believe it would be policy for
the legislature to pass a special appro-
priation for good roads in the early
days of its session next January, in
order that the work of improving the
roads Of the state may not be halted.
Examples of the enthusiasm with
which the good roads idea has been
taken up in different sections of the
state abound. One town in Forest
county made an appropriation for 1912
and when the money began to be ex-
pended and the work had progressed
so that results could be seen a special
town meeting was called, and an addi-
tional appropriation was voted. Before
this was expended second special
meeting was called and still a third
sum voted and that is something of a
record for town in one of the new
est counties of the state.
On Friday of last week the state
engineer, A. R. Hirst; members of the
state highway commission and repre-
sentatives Of the University of Wis
ccnsin, visited the roads which are be-
ing improved with concrete in Milwau-
kee county and, without exception, ex-
pressed themselves as more than pleas
ed with what they saw. In the words
of Mr.. Hirst, the state highway engi-
neer: Gin my opinion the concrete
road is the solution of the road prob
lem in our state, for country and town
alike

No jury or Lawyer Required and
Appeal From Decisions of Ar

New York.-The business mems
court of honor, a tribunal without
Judge, lawyer or jury. yet recognized
by the laws of the state, has been re-
viyed in New York after a lapse Of II
years. The court Is conducted by the
chamber Of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, so far
as is known here, there is no other
court like It in the world.
In 1868 the business mems court
was established and for more than a
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there. In 1874 the legislature
voted a salary of $4,000 a year to
the official arbitrator Of the court and
when this salary was discontinued In
1896 the body passed out of exist
ence. Several months ago a move.
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment Of the tribunal, with
the result that several cases have Just

To try the average case requires an
expenditure Of only $50 OF $50, COM
pared with the heavy expenses Of
trials in the regularly constituted
courts of the state. The court is in
charge Of the chamber of commences

GOLD IS MINED BY QUAKES
Volcanic Eruptions Often Open Vast
Mineral Deposits In the
Earth.

Nome, Alaska.-"It's u poor earth,
quake that does nobody any good" is
the new and startling version of the
old proyerb. "It'g an i'll wind that
blows nobody any good"
The earthquake disturbances Of
September and October in southwest.
crn Alaska have brought to the sur,
face scores Of gold mines, which VIII
add millions of dollars to the wealth
Of the people of the territory.
The manner in which the earth,
quake operates to bring a potential
gold mine in sight is, says the Detroit
Free Press, as follows: when the
trembling motion of the earth's crust
becomes exceedingly violent 1t pro.
duGes deep cracks in the surface. The
earthquake, 1t is well known, rolls
over the surface Of the earth In a Ger.
tain direction, just as a wave rolls
over the surface Of the ocean.
The earthquake, however. Is not
working In q fluid medium, and its
action upon the more stiff and brittle
crust Of the earth produces many
kinds OF fractures and rearrange-
ments Of the superficial strata. One
portion OF a layer Of rock Is lifted up
and placed upon another. What was
once the surface Of the earth is buried
deep out Of sight, and the rock that
has been buried deep out Of sight for
ages is brought to light.
That side Of a crack in the earth
from which the pressure Is coming Is
very apt to be lifted mp and pushed
yer the opposite side. In other cases
the collaborating lode lies concealed
under the surface soil of a hillside
and the earthquake shakes away the
gold. exposing the quartz.
The gold-bearing lead in the newly
fractured rock Is lifted up and Expos
ed a few feet above the ground. Tho
miner has only 10 stretch forth his
pick and strike the auriferous rock.
Thus, through an intervention of the
benevolent earthquake, gold is discOv-
cred which might never have been
and, in any case, an expendI-
ture Of many thousands Of dollars In
mining machinery Is avoided.
