SAN FRANCTSC, Jan. 11. — The,
staging of purse events for young
i
horses Instead of so many early clos
ing futurities and stakes as is the
present custom, is the suggestion
made by A. C. Harrison, of Seattlg,
for the improvement of the light
harness game on the Pacific coast. In
this connection Harrison has been
quoted as follows.
"More opportunity in this way
would be offered as an inducement
to get young horses to I lie races. Un
der the present system of early clos
ing events too much hardship, is
worked on the small owners. One has
to enter two or three years in advance
of the race and the payments have to
be met. Sometimes you pay up on a
horse until the last closing date and
then something goes wrong and you
are out all the money paid in. Many
owners dot not enter the futurities
and stakes so far in advance, and as
a result, there are few young horses
in the competition.
"If there were some purse events
more horses would be trained and
there would be better sport. My idea
is to have some mile dashes for year
lings, and three heat events for two
and three year olds.”
The plan is looked on with skeptic-1
ism by horsemen, who believe that
there would be considerable risk in
volved of breaking down a promising
colt or filly with the early training.
There are some who concede that
Harrison’s plan might work out, but
the campaigning of yearlings even for
the one mile distance does not meet
with general approval. This, together
with several other innovations, is ex
pected to be brought up for discussion
at the meeting of the Pacific Fair As
sociation, which will be held in the
near future.
The influx of Grand Circuit horses,
drivers and owners during the two
big trotting meets held under the aus
pices of the Panama Pacific Exposi
tion is expected to result in a decided
revival of interest in the trotting and
nni'lnp came on the Pacific coast, and
an unusually active season is expect- (
ed in 1916. At a meeting of the horse-1
men held during the last exposition
meet, the suggestion was made that
the plan of scheduling a number pf
selling races similar to those of the
thoroughbred associations be adopted
in sulky competition. In support of
the idea it was argued that the horses
through this means would be more
evenly matched. The conditions of
the race would call for horses entered
to be sold for a certain amount and
the driving of a $10,000 champion’
against horses of much less value
would be eliminated. This idea also
is likely to receive consideration when
the association meets.
Also it is said that the newly organ
ized Pac^ic Fair Association practi
cally has decided to hold race meets
in the following ten California towns:
Salinas, Santa Rosa, Woodland, Sac
ramento, Pleasanton, Fresno, Han
ford, Ilakersfield, Ventura and River
side. Additional meets may be added
to this list, according to report. In
past years only a half dozen meets
at most were included in the season's
itinerary.
The use of asphyxiating gases In
the trenches by the belligerents of
Kurope has served to put an Idea into
the heads of certnln individuals on
this side of the globe, which has con
siderably stirred up sportsmen. Ac
cording to a newspaper dispatch from
Pomona, California, men have been
bagging quail by means of hydrocy
anic acid fumes. They did their work
at night. Their method is to throw
a large canvas or two over the bush
or shrub in which the birds are sleep
ing. and then apply the poison. It
Is claimed that entire coveys have
been slaughtered in this way, and
that the scarcity of quail in the vi
cinity is appreciable. There is talk
of placing the matter before the game
commission.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CANNOT
MAKE ASSAYS.
The United States geological survey
calls the attention of mining men and
3thorr to the fact that it is not equip
ped for making assays or analysis of
roclts, its laboratory being in fact
overloaded with official work. Many
specimens and “amples are received
by the survey, accompanied by re
quests for such treatment, with which
t is impossigle to comply. The force
3f chemists employed is small and
:lieir time is fully occupied by their
•ogular official duties. The geologi
cal survey has no facilities for making
;old and silver assays. The most
lie survey geologists can do is to
;i' e an offhand opinion based on a
dmple examination of the specimens.
P might be a matter of surprise to
know the large number of answers
prepared daily by the geological sur
vey, similar to the following:
"In reply to your letter, etc. * * *
the material you send is merely a
fragment of a quartz pebble. I regret
to say that it lias no probable value."
A great many other samples re
ceived prove to be iron pyrites, or
"fool’s gold," the shiny particles be
ing taken by the writer for gold.
If an assay is desired, the proper
I'uurno is iu cuiyiuy a pu>tur annajcr
Dr to send a specimen to one of the
government assay offices where a re
gular charge Is made for such work.
When specimens are sent to the sur
vey for examination, applicants should
be particular to state whether they
wish them ^turned, as otherwise
they will destroyed. There are
government assay offices at Carson,
Nevada; Seattle, Washington, Boise,
Idaho: Helena, Montana; Salt Hake
City, Utah; Deadwood, South Dakota;
or New Orleans, Uouisiana; and the
Mint at Philadelphia for gold, silver,
lead, tin, zinc and antimony."
