CHANCES FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
BASKETBALL FIVE At
MONTANA ARE GOOD.
NINETEEN MEN PRACTICE:
Three Teams and Four Change Men
Are Hard at Work-Tabor Is Best
Bet for Center at Present-Whisler
in Old Form.

If the University of Montana ever
had a good basketball team, or is
ever to have one, this winter Is the
time. There is pepper to spare in the
squad and the interest in the five
could not be keener. Yesterday 10
men turned out for practice and it
would be a mighty hard matter to
pick five men from the crew who
would be certain to beat any five OF
their rivals. Montana has never been
strong in basketball Since the spor,
was first taken up here the Aggies
have trimmed the varsity five. Until
last year Montana had not had team.
for several years and when the sport
was revived last winter the varsity
was beaten numerically from start
to finish. This year the university
seems to have awakened to the fact
that weakness in this sport does not
agree at all with championships in
every other A large squad has turned
out every evening and under the
tutelsge of two such splendid coaches
as Mustaine and Whitlock the pros
poets have frightened a lot. The new
enthusiasm has spread to the girls,
and they have been playing amone
themselves, though the chances of in
tercollegiate games do not seem
strong.

MiSsoula people will have their first
real basketball tomorrow evening
when the local high school five win
try conclusions with quintet from
the Powell County High school of
Deer Lodge. Coach McGough received
word yesterday from the Deer Lodge
people asking for a game, and, though
the time was short, accepted. A
game was scheduled with the Powell
county five before the Christmas
holidays but was called off from the
other end. Now, with only three days
for practice the team from Deer
Lodge has asked for a game. The
Missoula boys will go into the game
under considerable of a disadvantage
The team has not practiced since the
Christmas holidays began and is nat

was resumed last night though, and
will be kept up in earnest.

cause of their early season work the
boys are all in pretty good shape and
SHOULD be up to standard after a cou-

lineup has been decided upon by the
coach, for the competition for place is

represent the local high school tonlor-
row evening will probably be picked
from the following men: Earhart, c,

The game tomorrow evening will
be good one, no matter who wins.
Powell county has 4 strong team this

to be believed, though the five has not

Plenty Of Ginger.

OF all the snappy practices of the
last week that of yesterday was by
all odds the snappiest. Keen compe>
ton for place has put every man on
his mettle and there is no loafing or
trifliAg in the daily practice scrim-
images. Last night three teams We're
picked by the coaches and the four
odd men were used as substitutes.
Team No. I, not the first team by
any means, for it was made up partly
of green men, was led by Captain
Whistler. Another squad, and this
one bested the others, was made up,
with the exception of Gervais, of the
freshmen stars who seem due to beat
several old varsity men out Of their
places on the team. The third team
seemed to be outclassed by both the
others, though several good men
play on it.
Tho Three Teams.
The men lined up last night, as fol.
lows:
No. 1-Weidman, Griffith; guards
Baxter, center; Whistler, Taylor, for
wards.
No. 2-Gervais, B. Craighead, guards;
Tabor, center; Cummings, Denhert,
forwards.
No. 3-Owsley, Klebe, guards: f.
Craighead, center; Lansing, McPhail,
forwards.
From these men it would be hard to
pick first team. Whistler stands, in
playing ability If not in stature, head
and shoulders above the other for,
wards who PLAYED last night though
Mccarthy, captain of last years team,
who will be member of the squad
within the next few days, plays 1uas
about as we'll. Cummings is playing
a dandy game and Denhert ia show
ing first-class form.
OF the three men who played at
center yesterday, Tabor did the best
work He seems to be the logical
choice for the central position, for he
has all who have gone against him
easily outclassed. He Is fast and
sure and plays a hard. snappy game,
Craighead did we'll at center. though,

 MT. Kellogg states that the min CTS are located on streams entering the Panama from the west side as the ground is shallow. He is enthn- siastic over the possibilities of the interior which is tributary to Cor dova via the Copper River railroad. He believes that the big mining men of the interior who have made millions in placers will follow the lead of Frank Manley, Jaffet Linde- berg and others who have become interested in this section of the country The thawed ground with plenty of water to permit of opera tions during the entire season ap- peals to the big mining men of the Nome and Fairbanks districts. The cost of fuel to thaw the gravels and the lack of water with which to wash the dumps, in many cases, have more than swung the balance in favor of the low grade grounds Of the close to the coast camps.

After being out fl hours the Val deg jury awarded Chris Peterson a verdict of s3 and costs in the dam age suit against Buck Hoyt for false arrest. The suit was for s5,100. Immediately after the close of the case the attorney for Mrs. Peterson filed a suit for s5,100 for the same cause.
 This is the famous black fox case which caused so much comment last spring. From the evidence it ap- pears that Chris bought the fox from an Indian, paying him s450. Thos. Akin, the millionaire mine owner of Fairbanks offered him s1,500 for the animal. Chris sold and ac- cepted s100 to bind the bargain. Bert Skinner, the fox farmer, also wanted the black beauty and offered S1,600. Jake Nafstadt also laid tO IL lAdL l1c belonged to him as the Peterson s were conducting one of his road houses.
 Hoyt laid a complaint against the petersons for having a fox in their possession which was taken during the closed season. The Petersons were arrested. Suddenly the fox died but that did not end the trouble his capture had started. After Peterson's arrest it was found, when Judge Walker the district attorney was consulted, that no law had been violated and Chris was discharged.
 Peterson is out $35O, Tom Akin lost s100 and Hoyt is out the three piunks and costs with another dam ege suit to defend. The fox busi- ness is such a business, especially where blacks are concerned.

MT. Stiepovich heard rumors tthat ray had been found on Powell creek, tributary of Johnson creek, and about eight miles from the town of Chisana on Johnson creek. His in formation came through Dave. Cas- cadden, the we'll known Fairbanks miner and business man. The men who are reported to have made the find have been working for some time and had reached a depth of 35 feet when they encountered pay run ming from 5 to 25 cents to the pan. They were still sinking and had at least five feet of pay with bedrock not yet in sight.
 While MT. Stiepovich did not have time to verify the report of the find he is inclined to believe that it is genuine. He believes the camp is one of great possibilities and in- tends to return early next spring. He says the Fairbanks and Nome miners have faith in the camp and gre not at all discouraged. They like the looks of the country and are waiting to give it a thorough tryout. Boilers were beginning to arrive and the work of sinking holes to bedrock would be hastened.
 MT. Stiepovich states that when he left the town of Chisana prices of provisions had dropped to 90 cents per pound. He met between 90 and 50 horses on the road going in with all manner of supplies and machinery. Oscar Freedman in- formed him that he intended to re- duce the price of staples to 35 cents per pound. Later in the season he will contract for the delivery of freight from the end of the railroad 70 Johnson creek for 15 cents per pound.
 Development work in the diggings IS being retarted owing to the large number of claims held by men who have left the camp without having arranged with anyone to handle their ground.
 Many of the stampeders located claims, did the necessary amount oi assessment work, recorded the claims and then left the country Many of them will return next spring but in the meantime miners who are willing to prospect the ground for an interest or take lay are barred from working and the claims lie undeveloped.

Cordova, December IT
 The United States land office, at Juneau has decided favorably upon the application for patent of the locators of the Willoughby group of coal claims in the Boring river dis trict. It is very likely the patent to the group will now speedily be issued.
 The three cases consolidated in- volve the claims of Carah c. Vol loughby, Adeline c. Willoughby and F. A. Willoughby, of Seattle, who were located nthe Boring river dis trict by o. L. Willoughby, agent. The government charged that the locators failed to open any of the claims and the defendants were able to show that on one of the claims two slope pits of few feet in dimen- sion were made by the locator; on another claim one pit of similar dimension and on another, drift large enough for two men to worK in, but not extended to point where it was safe to work except by timbering.
 The decision finds that because of the accessibility of the claims to the market when a railroad is built, because of the demonstrated char acter of the land and it's value for the coal therein and because when a railroad is constructed coal can be immediately shipped from the openings made, the locators have qualified themselves to enter the land by opening or improving a mine on each of the claims, and the local officers recommend that the charge be dismissed.

F. E. Kellogg, of Fairbanks, is registered at the Rainier-Grand e1 route to spend the holidays with his family in Seattle. He is we'll known by nearly every man who has lived in the interior, having been engaged in mining and business since the early days of the Dawson rush. He was a member of the hardware and machinery firm of Brumbaugh, Hamilton & Kellogg, in Fairbanks and helped build many of the quartz mills in the Fairbanks dis trict.a
 Being interested in the machinery business MT. Kellogg has taken a prominent part in the development of the machinery used in the placer minss of the interior. Every miner, w,fo was in the interior will remem- her that the first steam thawer used had points about the length of a rifle barrel, and 14 to 24 inches was considered a good thaw. Now it is common for miners to use points 20 feet in length. In the old days the gravel was hoisted by windlass, when 60 ten-pan buckets were con- sidered a fair days work. Through the medium of the hoist and self Jumper thousands of buckets of gravel are now handled by the same number of men. MT. Kellogg has had his share in bringing about the improved order of things. He has invented many appliances and manu- factured the first self-dumper used in the Fairbanks district.
 He left Fairbanks on the steamer White Seal for the Chisana last fall but was frozen in near the mouth of Robinson river He states that seven boats were forced to seek winter quarters within 60 miles of each other when navigation closed. The Sampson was frozen in between little Girstle and George Creeks, about 2S miles above the mouth of Healy river. Thirty miles above there, at the mouth of Billy river, the White Seal found resting place for the winter. The other steamers are the Florence S., the Kodiak, the s. & S., the Martha Glow and Tana. About two hundred men were on the steamers and they are all busy prospecting the streams in the locality of the places where the steamers were caught by the ice.
 The miners paid the transporta- tion companies s100 fare and agreed to cut wood for fuel for the steam CTS. The freight rates were from s250 to $500 per ton with limit of 1000 pounds per man. The steamers were to try to reach the mouth of the Nabesna river if possible.
 Two parties on the White Seal had hand-drills with casings and other equipment for rapid sinking in wet ground. With these drills a hole can be put down to depth Of 50 feet in a few hours. The men from the interior camps who are now scattered along the Tanana
