 gon. Snowgoose and Doty will takt personal charge of the practical end of this important work.
 A party consisting of E. A. Shaw M. G. Wagner, Albert Jones, c. L McCarty and Eli Hilty of Kingman and James A. Roberts, former state controller of New York, visited the property some time since and the sam- pies they took were conservatively es- timated at S1 to the yard. And one sample taken by Mir. Shaw was brought to Kingman and assayed and showed values of S1.35 to the yard.
 Among those who have made a very exhaustive examination of this rich field is Capt. A. A. Hassan, a mining geologist, and consulting engineer of international repute. He put in II weeks on the ground and his very comprehensive report to Judge Mus grove consists of over sixty typewrit- ten pages in flexible binding. Captain Hassan secured the following values: 691z cents; 4115 cents; 39 cents; 43 cents; 971a cents; $1.11; $1.53; 6915 cents; S1.39.
 The average of these ten samples is S3 cents, which would indicate that in order to be extremely conservative Prof. Hassan has allowed more than 50 per cent for cost of production. Mining men say this is unreasonably conservative for in California it does not cost more than 5 or 6 cents at any point to recover the gold values. Tax ing Prof. Hassan's figures for a basis it looks very much like the net profit instead of being 40 cents a yard really should be nearer 75 cents yard.
 Eli Hilty, a well-lnown mine man. ager, secured the following values: 75 cents; s2.OO; s2.5O; $500; s2.O0; $500; $1.50. The average of these samples shows a value of S2.1O per cubic yard.
 P McCardle, a United States min eral surveyor and one of the best known mining engineers in northwest eIn Arizona, states that he has taken a great many samples from the prop erty of the Grand Canyon Gold com pany and that he believes that the es- innate of 40c net per cubic yard as contained in the report by Captain Hassan is extremely conservative.
 R. c. Jacobson, a very favorably known mining engineer, states that he has taken several hundred samples from the property of the Grand Can yon Gold company and these samples indicated a gold content of from 45c to S2.00 and even $500 to the cubic yard.
 R. S. Billings, one of the most favor ably known mining and metallurgical engineers of the southwest, states that he can see no physical reason why dredging operations by the Grand Canyon company should not result in large financial profits.

DOBIE'S UNUSUAL
RECORD AS COACH

Annapolis. Nd, Sept. 16.-Gilmour
Dobie. the new coach of the Naval
Academy football team. has a record
unique in sporting annals. Dobie has
been coaching football teams for four
teen years, and he has yet to see one
of his elevens defeated. In all. Dobie's
teams have played ninety-seven games
of which they have won ninety-three
and tied four. In this period his
elevens have scored a total of 1886.
or an average of slightly more than
56 points a game. while the total num-
ber of points made by his opponents is
only 152. After two years at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, Dobie went to
the Minneapolis High School for one
season and then went to the Univer-
sity of South Dakota for two years.
In 1908 he went to the University of
Washington and was in charge of foot
ball there until the close of the 1916
season, when he was removed by Pres
ident Henry Suzzalo. He has a re-
markable personality, is a strict dis
ciplinarian and a football tactician of
the first order.

wind-up, while three four-rounders
and a battle royal are also listed.

bout with Fred Fulton. Fulton stop
ped Langford in their last bout, but
Sam has been camping on his trail
ever since. anxious for a return mill
Langford won from Joe Jeanette in an
easy fashion on last Thursday night
at Dayton. Ohio, and shows no signs
of the milling. Langford is insisting
upon getting a return go with Ful-
ton and he claims that he will make
fast work of johnson in this mill.
johnson is due to arrive here this
morning. The New Yorker has been
going at great clip recently and the
wise ones believe that he will force
Langford to the limit. The prelim-
mary card Is better than usual, as II
will bring together Young Duvali. OF
the Rosedale Club and frankie
Baker. Duvall has been coming along
at rapid speed. but he will be given a

powers of frankie Baker. Rough

WAR HITS "PRO"
FOOTBALL TOO

New York. Sept. 16.-Professional
football fiourishes in Ohio and In
diana, and the interest IS so intense
that the Carlton and Massilon elevens.
the latter headed by Jim Thorpe. will
play a game at the Polo Grounds in
New York late in November. just to
show New York what professional
football is like.
But as is the case with college foot
ball. the professional game is feeling
the effects of the war. and Fort
Wayne for one will not have a team
this year. This fact was made clear
recently when the manager Of the
Hammond. Ind, eleven wrote to Fort
Wayne asking for an early date in TIE
Fort Wayne schedule. The elaborate
preparations for a big season received
a rude setback when the import Of the
following reply from Fort Wayne was
driven home:
I'VE feel honored to think you want
10 play your first game with US, but
nearly all of our team has gone to
war. We suggest that IL Hammond
has any men able bodied enough to
play football they enlist in the service
Of the army or the navy"
