4 Wonderful Mine
 Says Prospector

ANCHORAGE. Aug. 17.-J. D. Meen- ach. pioneer mining man of Alaska, among the early stampeders to the Klondike. discoverer of the Nizina placer diggings and the man who made the Ellamar copper mine, re- turned last night from the Willow creek gold camp, where he has been the guest of William Martin. friend of long-standing.
 MT. Meenach declares the Martin property to be nothing less than a wonder. He says he never saw any thing like it in all his mining experi- ence, and he has been on the go, wis iting mining camp after mining camp, from Alaska to Mexico. including the bonanza districts of Nevada, Colorado and Arizona.
 NIT. Meenach said:
 There are four veins opened on the Martin property, all showing high grade gold values. It is well within the range of possibility that these veins will converge into one at depth, in which event there is a fine pros pect for a veritable bonanza vein. The formation is quartz diorite, and I believe the whole mountain could be worked and show values far in ex- cess Of the famous Treadwell mine on Douglas Island. Aside from these rich veins, MT Martin has several big low-grade lodges that will, in time. be mined at profit"

file protest with the Amatuer Ath-

well claims that the meet should have
been awarded to the combined teams
OF the University of Southern Cali
fornia and the Los Angeles Athletic
club, which totaled 43 points as
against the Oregon Agricultural col
lese's 40 points. The coach says
that the understanding before the

that the points made by each organiza-
