He is also associated with the Home- stake Mine at Lead, South Dakota, which turns out $800,000 worth of gold each month. Prof. McLaughlin is in Juneau to look over the Alaska-Juneau mine, in which he is interested from a professional viewpoint due to its unusual methods of opera- tion and efficiency in handling | ore. Prosperity Seen Here | He remarked upon the air of | comparative prosperity which he|’ notes in Juneau, and said that gold-mining communities in gen- eral appear to be in good econo- mic condition. Besides the Homestake and the Alaska-Juneau mines, Prof. Mc- Laughlin has visited the Hollinger and Lakeshore mines in Ontario, each of which turn out 11 or 12|° million dollars’ worth of gold an- nually. However, none of them, he says, | can compare with the Alaska-Ju- neau for handling a volume of low grade ore profitably. Prof. McLaughlin plans to re- main in Juneau until next week, when he will be a passenger for the south on fhe Princess Louise. ADDS TENNIS T0 HIS SPORTS CLEMSON COLLEGE, 8. C.| Aug. 12—Not content with a good | record in three sports, Henry M. Woodward, Clemson’s three sport star of last season, has added a| fourth major sport. His first venture in the tennis field came this summer when he turned up unheralded at the Greenville city tournament alq:l fought his way to the semi-finals and teamed with Bobby Killings- worth to win the doubles.

Early Americans, having only horseshoes ready, used them inlieu of stone and metal disks, while an earlier adaptation of the sport became known as quoits, enjoyed today by the curling clubs of other countries. And that, say officials of the National Horseshce Pitchers’ Asso- ciation, whose official magazine, “Horseshoe World,” is published here, ought to go far to establish horseshoe pitching as at least as ancient and honorable as golf.
