Shamrock Described.

Shamrock w., with which Sir
Thomas Upton hopes to lift the
most coveted cup in the realm Of
yachting. was built at GospOrt. This
is the first time that challenger
has ever been built there, and the
first time since 1871 that a challeng-
er has been built in the south Of
England.
Opinion may vary as to the looks
of the new challenger. but from a
reading of articles in the London
Times one arrives at the conclusion
that the concensus of opinion in
England is that Sir Thomas latest
boat should prove powerful and
speedy.
TIE principal dimensions are
Waterline length. rs feet; length
over all, 10 feet; beam. % feet;
draught, 10 feet 9 inches; to which
about 10 feet will be added when
the center board is down. She car
ries her greatest beam just for
ward OF the midship section and
from there she curves away for
ward on the deck plat, until right
forward, where, instead of being
drawn into a sharp angle, her nose
is snubbed off This gives her a
peculiar appearance when looked at
stem on Her fullness is carried
we'll aft, and the counter is very
wide, with flattened intersection
and the end sawn off.
Her underbody is distinct DE-
parture from conventional design.
Her lead keel is 80 feet long, per-
fectly flat at the bottom, but round
on the top, giving almost the impress
sion of a submarine boat The head
rounds into the upper portion of the
keel, which comes up to sharp bilge
with flat section. and rounded tum-
BILE home sides. These rounded sides
form one of the most striking fea-
lures of the boat, and the tumble
home reduces the width on deck
by several inches, as compared with
the extreme beam. The keel for
ward is sharpened almost like a
knife edge, until it rounds into the
flaring overhanging bow chain plates,
in the form of huge angle irons,
which protrude from the sides of
the boat to give greater spread to
the righting. Mr.. Nicholson is a
staunch believer in these chain plates
All his later designed yachts have
been fitted with them.

Rich Find Made.


After being away for fifteen days
on a prospecting trip. Richard Hof-
stad, Ole Johnson and c. Lauritsen
arrived back in town late Tuesday
night, says the Wrangell Sentinel
The boys went from Wrangell to
Chicagoff Island for the purpose of
locating a large ledge Of marble, and
after the second day on the island
the marble was located and four
claims staked.
After the marble had been locat-
ed the boys started to look over
the country and found some floaters
in small creek and after tracing
it up located what has the appear
ance of being one OF the richest finds
that has ever been located on the
island. The ledge is some 9 feet
wide and was traced over three
claims which they staked. The find
is free milling gold and is of the
same formation as the famous De
Croft mine and is only about Is
miles from that mine. The boys
brought in about $50 pounds of ore
which was sent to Seattle for mill
test.

One Man Runs Mill.

Seward Gateway: George Sexton,
who returned last night from visit
to the Primrose and Blue Bell mines,
says that the latter is working night
and day.
"Since the mill has been moved
to the creek on which the mine is
located the Blue Bell has the most
ideal plant of Kenai peninsula.
THE mill is located just below the
dam and the water which operates

NEW BASIS OF REPRESENTATION

Charles ID. Hilles, chairman of the
Republican national committee, has
made public the proposed plan to de-
crease the PERCENTAGE of the southern
and territorial representation in the
Republican national convention in
1916, and thereafter, from approx
mately 80 per cent of the total voting
strength of less than 16 per cent, as
provided in resolutions adopted by
committee at its meeting last Deem
Der.
The plan is addressed to the Re
publicans conventions of the several
states, which are asked to ratify the
action of the national body before
January 1, 1915. A special commit
tee composed of Charles B. Warren, of
Michigan, Senator William f. Borah.
of Idaho, and Governor Henry d. Hat
field, of West Virginia, drafted the re-
port of the action taken in December
which embodies other resolutions
adopted by the national committee.
Alaska and the District of Column
bia under the plan presented will
each be entitled to two voting dele
gates, while Hawaii, Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands will each be
entitled to two delegates without the
right to vote.
The result of this change in the
basis of representation, if ratified by
the requisite number of state conven-
ton, will be a decrease of 80 votes,
as follows: Alabama will lose s; Ar
kansas, 3; Florida, 4; Georgia, IL;
Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 8; New
York, q; North Carolina, 3; South
Carolina, z; Tennessee, 3; Texas. 16;
Virginia, 8; Hawaii, 4; Porto Rico,
2; Philippine Islands, 2.
Under the plan presented a con
gressional district not entitled to two
delegates on the vote cast in the
presidential election in 1908 will
qaulify for two if 1900 or more votes
are cast for the Republican nominee
in the congressional election this fall.

the character OF the soldiers as she had
