British Driver Goes 231 Miles an
Hour Over Daytona Beach
Speedway.

Ocean Speedway, Daytona Beach,
Fla.-In a flaming streak OF super
speed, Major H. o. D. Segrave, famous
British race track driver, has set q
new worlds speed record for automo-
biles by sending his powerful Golden
Arrow roaring over the hard wave
Tapped ocean speedway here at the
tremendous speed of 231.36 miles an
hour. Driving his glistening 12-cylin-
der machine at dazzling pace, Major
Segrave eclipsed by 1881 miles an
hour the former record of 207.55 set
here last year by Ray Keech, of Phi
aldelphia, in his 36-cylinder car The
new mark also surpassed by % miles
an hour the record of 203 which Sc
grave set here in 1927, with his spe-
cial speed motor.
On his first official run north, Ma
jor Segrave literally burned up the
course when he negotiated the meas
ured mile in 1855 seconds for the
amazing speed Of 231.51 miles an
hour. His second trial, made south
ward over the course, was clicked at
1857 seconds for a speed of 23121
miles an hour. His average elapsed
time was 1856 seconds and his aver
age two-way speed was 23136 miles
an hour. The two trials, which were
timed and sanctioned by the Ameri-
can Automobile association, were
without incident and were staged I'M
der only fairly good weather condi-
lions before thousands of spectators,
who lined the sand dunes for miles
parallel to the course.

 The College came back for three scores after trailing the Universit; by 13 points and looking like a Walkaway for the University which in the end was out -classed in every department of the game.

 We can not agree with that because we do not know of any hard rock camp in Alaska that develops itself
 It was different in the placer camps of the Inter for when men could finance themselves to sink hole and start taking out the pay gravel using Wood-fre thaWing or teapot for boiler Ii the pay was good the nearest bank would loan them enough to get bg ger boiler and steam points, Ii others stfck pay aong the same or adjacent creeks stampede followed and soon there camp

 The case of Babcock Downey, who last week prot in another 30 pounds of gold, is unique in the mnng annals of Alaska They struck rich ore on the top or the ground and it got richer they went down They stuck with it doggedy and after several years effort managed to acquire little secondhand mill with winch they have pounded out enough 10 buy bigger eqlupAollo with scarcely any backing
