of Lacrosse, H., there was born on
the farm of Charles E. Cameron, a
scrawny. longlegged colt, that was
sired by The Earl. Because of the
strong resemblance Of the colt for
its daddy, Mr.. Cameron decided to
call the youngster Earl Jr. From
this rather uncompromising baby
there developed a wonderful race
horse-one who after eight Strenu
Gus campaigns is still as much in
the limelight as in any year of the
past. The racing public has a warm
spot for Earl, Jr, who is owned by
Ralph Lasbury, a tobacco grower of
Connecticut. Lasbury has a lot of
confidence in the horse and it is
his desire to match the battle-scar
red horse against any PAGER living.
Lasbury has issued a challenge to
the world.

anything ever reported before in the
district.
Some of the ore is about twenty
five per cent pure gold and nearly
all the rock shows a really amazing
quantity of free gold all over. 1t
is the belief that the ledge is the
one that has supplied all the placer
to Resurrection, Bear and Palmer
creeks.
Last fall the prospecting for the
ledge began. Just before that, in
summer time, some float was found
and the finders began to pan to-
wards the direction in which the
ledge was expected to be discovered.
They PANIED up to the ledge and
this spring began digging.
The result according to the in
formation received, is hardly less
than extraordinary. 'Phenomenally
,, rich is the phrase used in describ
ing the rock Plaughman and Doc
Halves are named as the discover
ers. Mr.. Grabbe will reach town
tonight when fuller facts will be
ascertained.

Start Ore Shipping.

The Midas mine, owned by the
CRANKY, Mining, Smelling & Power
company, will soon be on a shipping
basis, says the Cordova Times, When
the drop occurred in the price Of
copper last fall on account of the
war, there was still some work to
be done before the big aerial tram
could be used to transport the ore
from the mine to the bunkers erect
ed on the wharf near Valdez.
All work was shut down at that
time and as there is still some
snow in Solomon basin that hinders
construction of the tramway it will
be several days before the work
can be completed.
There is plenty OF ore already
blocked out and just as soon as the
ore can be moved, a large crew of
men will be put to work in the mine.
The high. price Of copper and the
bright outlook OF the market for a
continuance OF a great demand for
the metal is stimulating the manage
ment to rush the work as much as
possible.

Prospect at Marshall.

Ruby Record Citizen: Charles Gay,
with his launch and a barge loaded
with supplies, left for Marshall last
Monday morning. With him went
Ron Morrison and William Millette,
and they are all prepared to stay
with the lower river camp through
out the summer. Millette has a
brother there.
For several months rumors have
been going around that something
was about to happen at Marshall,
but particulars have been lacking.
Frank Waskey went from there to
Nome and in general terms spoke
very favorably Of the outlook, and
later report was printed in Nome
papers that prospects had been
found across the divide seven or
eight miles back Of Marshall With

Looking At Ruby.

Looking At Ruby.
Arriving from Dawson last Sun
day evening on the steamer Wash
burn. three representatives OF the
Yukon Gold company are now in
the district, engaged in investigation
that it is believed will result in
adding Ruby to the growing list of
"Gugg" camps, says the Ruby Rec
ord Citizen.
The party is headed by the COM
pany's field expert Garrison Costar,
who was accompanied from Dawson
by Alex Mcdonald and William Pot
ter At Ruby Archie Mcintyre and
B. J. Bower were added to the force.
The party is now on Greensboro
creek, tributary Of Long creek
where they will probably prospect
throughout the summer. Ordinary
roughneck methods will be used in
carrying on the work, but the shall
low character of the ground makes
it possible to accomplish great
deal, even without drill, in com
paratively short time.
The ground under investigation
is owned by John Holmgren. who
bought the holdings of Duncan
Niche and Pete Jensen, and covers
a large area. The terms OF the
agreement between Mr.. Holmgren
and the Guggs have not been made
public.

Baker says that boxers are treated
better in Australia than anywhere
else.

between Smith and McGoorty. and
Smith actually received $4,000 for
getting into the ring with the big
American. For the third time
their contest was one-minute af-
fair, in New York, for which Smith
received $500-McGoorty knocked
Smith out, yet the Australian was
able to draw large sums for other
contests during the year with Jimmy
Clabby and Dubourg, the Frenchman.
Boxing must be sound game

We're not satisfied Smith in par
ticular held the Stadium authorities
for 80 per cent Of the gross receipts
Though the Stadium refused to pay
it. some of the Australians against
whom he was matched agreed to
forfeit per cent of their shares in
order to let Smith have his full
third
This, according to Baker, caused
general demand by ordinary box
ers that 80 per cent be given to
all OF them. A boxers union was
therefore formed. Every boxer of
note in the country was roped into
it, and they filed a formal demand
on Baker for 80 per cent of the
gross. This would have meant that
whenever two Australians were en-
gagged the promoter was left with
bare 40 per cent to cover all his
expenses and obtain him a profit.
Naturally Baker refused.
Star men from America and Eu-
rope are quite eager to come to
Australia for IS per cent of the gate,
and on these terms they actually
receive more money than anywhere
else in the world the letter says.
1T is the importation of star men
that has made the game here, and
the enterprise of the promoter in
this respect is the explanation of
Australian boxers receiving such
enormous sums"

His all around ability from a stand

opportunity to gain the plaudits of the

be appreciated by the rooters. His

basketball victories possible. Both
