Tho ledges exist In hugo verticals en closed between walls of Mate and can be traced for miles along tho surfuce of thu ground from north to south, Tho Homo stake mlno proper Is sltunted well toward tho northern extremity of this belt.

On tho south end of tho Homestako belt la Bltuatcd the Uncle Sam mine, now the property of tho Clover Leaf Oold Mining company, since purchasing tho Uncle Sara this company has acquired title to b largo tract of mining ground ndlolnlne. situated on Klk Creek along tho line of tho old lllnck Hills & Fort Pierre railroad At tho time tho Clover Leaf Cold Mlnlnr :ompany wan organlrcd Its stock could be purchased for 20 cents a sharo.

Tho company Is equipped for thorough exploration and expects between oow and spring to fully establish tho theory 3f tho continuation of tho Homestuke ledges. Nouth African lOiillni-tliintlf . A mining expert from South Africa re cently spent several months In an examina tion of these oro deposits, He thinks the time Is ripe for oxtruordlnary developments along the olt. In his opinion thu district has a guaranteo ore exposure to support a population of 100,000, which would mean a vast commercial growth for Omaha und tho putr.onlalng territory. Thero nro employed on this belt about 3,500 men at the present time, with a dally payroll amounting to 111,660; monthly, IS39.9S0, and for the year $4,079,750. These facts emphnslzo what Is being dono In tho way of development and production, nnd with now companies con tinually starting up the demand for labor will ndvarico rapidly. I Near Ilochford, Pennington county, tho Illack Hills Copper company Is systematic ally developing tho copper measures on what Is known as Copper Heof mountain. There Is on the mountain n heavy outcrop of copper oro und tho company Is following one of tho ledges In an Incllno shaft that la over 700 foot down, with a vertical dep h of nearly 400 feet. Tho ledge la strong nnd well denned and tho company will continue to sink until the pormanont water level Is reached. At 400 feet crosscuts woru run, exposing a body of sulphide oro 100 feot wide.

Tbo party included tilnctocu meu all told, as follows: Coach Yost, Traine Fltzpatrlck, Graduato Mnnager Ualrd, Stu dent Manager Crafts, Captain and Left Tackle White, Left End llcdden, Left Guard McOugln, Center Gregory, night Guard Wll son, Right Tncklo Shorts, night End Horn stein, QuartosLnck Weeks, lllght Halfbao Sweclcy, Left 'Halfback Heston, Fullback fenow, and substitutes Iledner, Southworth frorrest nnd Jones, ltcdncr nnd Jones nro backs; Forrest and Southworth, tackle and guard, respectively. The men wero all up nnd had brcnkfnsted Coach Yost says he Is compelling them to keep training hours as much ns posslbl on tho trip. They rctlro early, but not be foro they can go to sleep, which makes the hour Homewhnt later than tho usual training retiring time, as traveling makes tho men wnkeful. During tho twenty minutes tha tholr car wniti'd nt Council Hltiffs, Yost gavo tho men n run nround in swentera, so they were nllowed to loaf while they were In Omaha. Among tho score of tourists wero two really phenomenal men, ono lllght Tackle bhorts, because of his wonderful playing, tho other, Coach Yoat, becnuso of hla marvellous accomplishments In his brief coaching career. Shorts was this year unnnlmously given n place on tho All-WeBt-ern team, ns second only to Captain Curtis of Wisconsin, ns a tackle. Tho departuro of Badger from tho game' wilt leave Shorts the best tacklo In tho west next season and probnbly In the world, as It has bcn admitted for four yenrs that Curtis was equal to any man on the big eastern teams In his pluce. Shorts Is next year's captain for Michigan, and will bo given captain o the All-Western team nt tho end of tho season, If ho continues' his former showing Conch YoNt'N Grtl Hi-cord, Coach Yost, merely by what ho has dono slnco last August, has brought himself Into prominent permanent prominence as foot ball coach. Ho first played tno game nt tho University of Mrglnla. Going from there to Lnfayctto university, he played tho star tacklo on tho team that defeated for tho flrsC time tho University of Pennsylvania. !n tRfi7 Ynat coached at Ohio' Wesleyan, developing from minor material a team that held Mlchlcan to 0. Coming then to Nebraska. Yost mado tho '9S team of Cornhuskcrs tho cham plons of the Trnnsmlsslsslppl country. Then he went down to Kansas and that year tho Jayhawkers took ' tho pennant away from isepraekn -.30 to 20. Tho 1900 season found Yost at Stanford, whore ho enabled that team to defeat Its bitter rival, tho Unlver slty of Crtllfornla, and win tho west coast championship for tho first tlmo In throe ears. Yost'6 success at Ann Arbor sur passes all previous achievements. His team scored 501 points to Its opponents 0 nnd Its Inglo gnnio scores ranged from 22 to 123 points. Yost has sinned a three years' cou- ract with tho Wolverine university. Both theso men. Yost and Shorts, nro grently alike. Unobtrusive, undemou atrative, untulkntlve, oven reticent, each carries about him tho atmosphere of ro serve power and lndomltnblo will. Neither makes rash predictions or oven porfectly natural rorecasts. Though both know that the Michigan team is head und shouldors ttbove Stanford, both are wary of promts Ing u victory. Yost said: We nro going out thero to do tho best thut is in us." That was all from tho teacher. Shorts was moro exollclt. He aid: Hhorta .ut UverauiiKulne. "Of course It Is natural to suppose on first thought that we will defeat Stanford, but there are many reuaons why the result a honoitly uncertain. A trip of 3,000 miles across -tbo country Is not conducive to fit ness and form. Neither is an absolute change of climate. Last Friday we went through our last practice In the snow at Ann Arbor. The day after Chrlatmas. after live days enroute, we will be out there at Pasadena, where It la absolutely warm. What the effect of the change will be on the men, whether enervating or otherwise. cannot be predicted. We hope for the best. wook will glvo us time to get stretched out some. Wo do not fear defeut, nor yet feel certuln of victory." All along the route the Wolverines are oheduled for banquets and receptlona by former Michigan men. That Is what makes tholr trip to long In time. Snowbound trains In Mtchtgun caused them to nitna tholr Chicago connection Sa'turday morning, so they did not arrive In Orauha Saturday night at 11:10, as expected.
