D0LPH SMITH THINKS NEW
 CAMP WILL MAKE GOOD
nlzlHA GOVERNED HOPE oF FUTURE LIES IN BENCH Es--mEM WlTM MONEY ARE GETTING ACTIVE.

DOlph Smith, of the Exchange Bar, returned yesterday from the Chisana, where he spent some time looking over the camp and sizing it up as a possible con- ing camp from every point of view. He has been in other stam- pedes and his opinions of this camp will carry conviction with many who have been doubtful ow- {ng to ,thc conflicting reports which have been brought out by returning Stampedrrs.
 When asked how many men were in the camp Mr. smith said that il was difficult to form an opinion, but he believed that pos sibly two thousand had gone in since the stampede started. Many of them had left the camp but there were several hundred still there. Nearly every man who had provisions or money to buy them was determined to stay as long as possible.
 Mr.. Smith believes the camp Twill make good. No one knows as yet just how big the area will be but if the benches which are now attracting attention contain paystreakS the Chisana has a chance to prove as big as any in Alaska. He had heard the Chis- ana compared [" Slate creek -"r

Charles Kraemer returned yes terday from a trip to the Gold King property and brought back with him two gold bricks weigh ing three hundred ounces each and sample of ore which looks more like jewellers window than a piece of quartz from a mine. The news that the first bricks from the Gold King had reached town spread like wildfirc and the officials of the company were kept busy showing the' bricks to their friends and re- cpiving congratulations for being fortunate enough to be interested in the property.~
 Mr.. kraemer explained that the bricks represented only a portion of the output "f the mine for the past month. The mill has been in operation for one month and the output has averaged about $500 per day. The ore milled has averaged between SlO0 and $50 per ton. The richest ore was not sent to the stamps. but was held in reserve, as the management wished to get a line on the gen. eral average of the values rather than a big output while the new mill was receiving it's test.

WHAT WILL YALE Do
ABOUT HER ROWING

satisfactory that Lehman was soon
sent back, and Wray, of Australia,
secured. The latter has copied Anne
rican ideas in almost everything and
has had remarkable success as the six
consecutive victories over Yale will
attest. But he has never yet been
able to turn out crew that could
beat Cornell. and this year his var
sity was also humbled by Princeton,
a crew coached by DR.. Spaeth, grad
uate from the Pennsylvania School of
Rowing. Yale is noted for tenacity
of purpose, so may give the English
outfit another trial, for in all fair.
ness it is hardly possible that Kirby
and Gold could have in one short sea-
son succeeded in transforming Yale's
rowing system TO conform with their
Oxford notions, but until they have
demonstrated marked superiority
over American methods by actual vic
tories they are not likely to have
many imitatorS. :.

After the crew races were finished
in the East, an authority on rowing
offered the following bit of obserya-
ton worth reprinting, though Yale
men won't relish it:
1t will be interesting to note the
effect Fridays overwhelming defeat
will have on Yale rowing authorities.
It was the sixth stranght victory for
Harvard in the New London dual re-
gatta, and the worst in the history of
rowing at Yale, taking into considera-
ton the showing made by the blue
oarsmen in the various events making
UP the days program. After last sea-
sons races, when Harvard made it
five straight victories, the rowing au-
thorities at Yale concluded that jim
Kennedy, who had turned out many
winners, had outlived his usefulness,
and sent to England for help The
delegates to whom the matter was left
not only secured an English coach,
but ordered an English shell as we'll,
and had it rugged English style. with
pole pins in place of rowlocks and
seats placed in the zigZag style used
by the Oxford and Cambridge crews,
rather than in straight alignment, as
is the popular method here. Fridays
result was truly disheartening,~ for the
Crimson of Harvard rode in front in
every race =. freshmen and varsity
Fights and Varsity tours, rs we'll as
in the two preliminary races for sub
stitutes on Thursday-making five
straight wins, all told, for Harvard.
And this, too, III the face of the fact
that the Harvard Varsity had been
beaten by two other crews. Cornell
and Princeton, before it met Yale.
The proposition now arises: Where
would Yale have finished in the big
intercollegiate race on the Hudson
yesterday and what place in Amer
lean rowing should be given English
rigs and English coaches? Harvard
passed through an English coaching
period some years back when Lehman
was brought from the other side to
teach rowing. The result was so I'M
