Speclal ONWENTSIA CLUB GOLF COURSE, LAKE FOREST, Ill, July 3.—The fifth annual tournament of the United States Golf Association was started to-day over the eight-hole course of the Onwentsia Golf Club. The weather was ideal for golf. The sky was overcast with clouds, and a light, cool breeze blew over the course, quickly drying last night's rain from the gggens. Even before Secretary Robert Bag err started the initial pair of contestants in the first qualifying round the beautiful groumds and the clubhouse were thronged with gayly dressed women and their escorts, while all over the eourse the red-coated golfers were scattered, taking a last critical look at the links before starting in their week's struggle for the amateur golf championshi ‘When, promptly at 7:30 a. m., Walter McKittrick of the St. Louis Country Club and Phelps B. Hoyt of the Glen View Golf Club opened the tournament the little grandstand at the first teeing ground was filled to overflowing with golf enthusiasts, and as Mr. Hoyt, who had the honor, drove his ball far over the bunker down the slope of the green beyond, thus form- ally opening the tournament, a hearty round of applause was given. Mr. McKit- trick also cleared the first of the bunkers beautifully, and he was also applauded. Four minutes after they were away and had played their second shots and passed out of range of the next golfer's drive, the secretary called the next pair of contest- ants, D. M. Cummings of Washington Park Club and P. W. Harvey of the Cleveland Golf Club, and thereafier, at intervals of four minutes, the players who are com- peting for national championship honors, drove and were away until the long list had been completed. As the celebrities appeared to start on thelr long journey over the course, they were applauded 1ib- erally. Findlay S. Douglass made a beau- tiful drive in his opening round with W. C. Carnegle Jr. of the Allegheny Club, the Jongest up to that time, but four minutes later James H. Tynge of the Morris Coun- ty_Golf Club beat it by many yards. Messrs.

There are three different shades of color, one very light, one quite dark and a third of medium hue. Being in- terested in the strike and having plenty of ume L decided to investigate. Ac- cordingly on February 22 I left the R ian m! ion and started on the 400- mile tramp. I first went to St. Michael, which I found much excited, news hav- ing reached there long before. The dis- y, I learned, was made last fall by 2 men, one of whom is named Eng- They were obliged to go out for provisions and while at St. Michael they tipped their secret off to a num- ber of the big compani Dr. A.

I found everything in the neighborhood of the discovery staked, but w able to stake a claim on Dry Creek and to buy another on Alpha Creek. Although the discoverers had been able to reach bedrock at from four to ten feet before the winte t in, the gold they had washed w from the bed of streams with men in the water. No one w working: while 1 was there There i no timber to burn _in thawing the ground. “ABout twenty cabins h been built at the mouth of Snake River, and the place named Anvil Cit There were 250 people in the district. I learned | that all the gold found up to that time had come in from three creeks, known as Bowlder Creek, Dry Creek and An- vil Creek, but it is a large district, and 1 am satisfied that gold will be found on many other creeks. A great deal of staking was done by power of attor- ney. I know one man who staked ninety claims. Judge Shephard, United States Commissioner at St. Michael, paid $1000 for a half interest in a claim in discovery of Dry Creek. It was de cided that placer claims shall be lo- cated 1320 by 660 feet. Claims may be located by power of attorney, but power of attorney must be recorded prior to the location of notices. All claims must be recorded within forty days after the notice is posted. Undoubtedly that country isone of the most promising in the Yukon district. It was determined that water used for mining or otherwise taken from g natu- ral watercourse must be turned back into the watercourse at the lower end of each claim. Dr. A. N. Tittlesen was elected District Recorder for a term of: two years, his fees to be $2 50 for re- cording any kind of document.” LADY GOLFERS OUT IN FORCE AT SAN RAFAEL Miss Morrow Makes Best Gross Score. gl Yesterday was Children’s and Ladies’ day on the links of the San Francisco Golf Club.
