 IN SANDY HOOK RACE

SANDY HOOK, July 15.-After having obtained a good lead over the British cup challenger, Sham rock W, the American cup defend CT, Resolute, lost part of her sail ing gear in a gust of wind and was compelled to drop out of the race, which started here this afternoon after months of preparation.

The gain at the start twas a dis tinct advantage for the Resolute and resulted from poor timing on the part of the British sailors. The Shamrock crossed the line ahead of time and was compelled to make a new start.

GOOD ORE FOUND ON
 RYDER SIDE OF LINE

The mineral belt of the Salmon, which some outside knockers would have people believe is all on the Canadian side of the line, has been traced practically into the town of Hyder by the discovery of good ore directly across the river from the townsite, reports the Hyder Miner of recent date. The discovery was made by w. M. McElhenney and D.. J. McPhee, who staked four claims and intend doing some development work. The ore shows native silver and silver sulphides.

Object of Flight.

The flight was arranged by the war department for the purpose of establishing an aerial route to the northwest corner of the continent for possible military use, and for conducting an aerial survey of the territory traversed.
 The flight to Nome and return will consume approximately forty five days. Each plane carries an army pilot and mechanician or ob- server, and army photographers will ride in two planes for the purpose of obtaining pictorial data of the trip. Data for estimating the feasi- bility of the establishment of an aerial mail route through Interior Alaska will be obtained also, and information relative to commercial air routes. :@.. <.
 Modem Type Planes. --.
 New type deHaviland planes are being used for the flight. They are considered better than the war type machines, being more reliable and affording greater protection to pilots.
