“Who misses or who wins the prize,
Go lose or conjure, as you can;
But, if you fall, or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.
The City again proved their superi
ority on the basketball court yester
day afternoon and beat the 14th 22 to
10, and unless an additional schedule
is arranged, yesterday’s victory virtu
ally cinches the pennant for the City
five.
The game was replete with wrang
ling and unnecessary display of tem
per, especially on the part of the 14th,
who repeatedly kicked on Referee
Kimball’s decisions. While a trifle
too technical Kimball is unquestion
ably the best official who has offici
ated at the basketball games. He
knows the game, follows the ball and
has the prime requisites that make a
good official—he will not reverse his
decisions. In this he was consistently
hacked up by President Loussac who
■faired the game. Many of the
Spectators also thought some of Kim
ball’s decisions somewhat harsh and
that he stretched a point on several
offenses. Taking into consideration
the smooth floor fouls are necessarily
numerous and often is the cause of
an aggressive player getting penaliz
ed when he commits the offense unin
tentionally.
Aside from the dispute of decisions
the game was fast and exciting. Cap
tain Gubert switched Riley to center
and Sherwin to guard the mighty
Knutson.
City started off like winners and
kept the lead throughout the game.
Knutson passed to Nicholls for the
first field basket. Henkle to Sherwin
evened the score, a nice pass from
bounds. On Sherwin’s foul Veach
scored and missed on the next one
when Riely was penalized. City miss
ed several good chances to score from
field. Veach scored on Sherwin’s foul.
Riley missed easy basket.
Accurate passing by Henkle to Gu
bert smothered a basket. Veach was
off on shooting and missed two easy
chances to score- With the ball out of
bounds on the east line Sherwin pas
sed to Gubert for a field basket. City
got in some fancy work from Veach
to Powery to Knutson for a score from
court. Gubert fouled and Veach scor
ed but missed the next attempt. Nich
olls fast developing into a great play
er passed to Knutson who caged a
pretty goal from the field.
At half time the score was City 9,
14th 6.
Henning went in for Bush in the
second half for the City and the 14th
■ made no changes in their line-up.
Henning passed to Powery who
scored from the court. Knutson to
Henning added two more points and
he followed this up by caging another
goal on the next few plays after , re
ceiving the ball from Nicholls. Sul
linger and Henkle pulled off a clever
stunt and Henkle scored. Fast floor
work by Nicholls to Henning to Knut
son caged a goal for the City.
The soldiers gave a splendid exhibi
! tion of passing and carried the ball
i from one end of the court to the other
but failed to score on the next few
plays. Nicholls recovered for the City,
checking Henkle. City took their turn
and had possession of the ball most of
; the time but also failed to count,
| Sullinger guarding and checking in
great form. Powrie for the third time
I broke through the enemy’s lines and
! dribbled the entire distance for a bas
ket, a great play.
j Veach missed and Knutson recover
ed on the rebound and scored. Gubert
checked Knutson cleverly on the net
play. Sherwin to Sullinger scored the
second and last field basket for the
soldiers. Veach scored on Riley’s
foul, the only penalty during the last
half. Game ended City 22, 14th 10.
Nicholls was the bright particular
star in yesterday’s game and was very
much in evidence on most every play.
Henning played a fine game during
the second half- Sherwin on several
occasions broke away for his famous
dribbling rushes, but was usually
checked before he could shoot. Sher
1 win is a splendid center and much
more valuable to his team in that po
sition. The game at times was fierce,
but team work was lacking on account
of the great checking game both
teams put up. Individual plays mark
ed the game throughout with the city
having the best of it throughout. The
soldiers did not play with their usual
dash during the second half, while
the City boys fairly outdid themselves,
as the score indicates.

Features of the game—Nicholls
and Gubert both shot the ball in the
maelstrom of the north basket, where
it rolled around the iron circle but
failed to sink. After the other nine
players had failed, “Slim” PoWrie
stretched a point and calmly untan
gled the net. Dan Leahy was conspic
uous by his absence. Gubert got sweet
revenge on “Slim” Radue and.bounced
the ball off his face, Slim lost his
pipe- Sleuter and Schott were unus
ually quiet, while Lankin and Levine
let their voices be heard on every oc
casion. Lack of light towards the end
of the game, and a splendid attend
ance.
Ably assisted by the balance of the
team Captain Polley led her Amazoni
ans to victory yesterday aftemoor
and defeated the Cleaners two tc
one.
Brave Kimball was not lacking ir
courage and went through the twc
halves without a murmur of dissen
sion. The young ladies played theii
first half during the intermission of
the regular game. It was amusing ir
the extreme and rather an expose of
the intricate points of the game and
other things.
That the game was going to be
hard-fought was apparent from the
start. Center Byles knocked dowr
Center Merry on the first toss-up.
Kimball overlooked the offense but
it wasn’t intentional. Dalton, playing
under the handicap of a strained an
kle, missed free try. Buryi Polley
scored one from foul line. With the
ball out of bounds Maltby passed to
Captain Polley, who scored from the
court. Buryi Polley scored from the
scratch. Barnett neatly checked
Chapin. Captain Polley missed but
Maltby caged the goal.
Clever passing by Maltby to Byles
to the captain resulted in another
basket. It looked all City when the
Cleaners started going. Murray was
playing a great guarding game and
made the next score possible; Murray
to Kincaid to Merry to Dalton who
counted.
Center Byles made a great shot
from the side lines for a field basket
after several unsuccessful attempts
by her team mates. First half ended
City 10; Cleaners 3.
Cleaners started things with a rush
at the beginning of second half- Aft
er a lively scrimmage Murray recov
ered and passed to Dalton who scored
Captain Polley duplicated and figured
in next play when she passed to Malt
by who caged a pretty goal. The play
was real lively for the next few min
utes and also interesting. Dalton
scored free goal.
Murry blocked and received and im
mediately passed to Dalton who drib
bled to a position to score. Barnett
and Merry pulled off some clever pas
sing only to be checked by Buryi Pol
ley who stopped many plays during
the game.
Game ended City 14, Cleaners 7. The
victors left the court covered with
gore and glory; the vanquished with
a determination to annex the next
game. Both teams played well but
the game should be limited to shorter
halves.

150 per cent Advance in Mohawk Shares
ON MARCH FIRST
THE DIRECTORS OF THE MOHAWK COMPANY HAVE AUTHORIZED ME TO ADVANCE THE PRICE OF MOHAWK SHARES FROM 10 CENTS TO 25 CENTS A
SHARE ON MARCH 1st. ON ACCOUNT OF SHORT NOTICE, PARTIES LIVING IN THE STATES WILL BE ALLOWED 15 DAYS EXTRA AND ORDERS FOR STOCK
WILL BE FILLED IF MAILED ON OR BEFORE THE 15th OF MARCH.
THE MOHAWK TUNNEL WAS SAMPLED A SHORT TIME AGO BY MR. C. H. HOLMES, OF ANCHORAGE, A REPUTABLE MINING ENGINEER.
THE VEIN SHOWS A CONTINUOUS ORE SHOOT, FOR OVER 159 FT. IN LENGTH AND STILL RICH ORE IN THE BREAST OF THE TUNNEL AT A DEPTH
i OF 500 FEET, AND THOUSANDS OF TONS IN SIGHT.
When I first placed the Mohawk Stock on the market in the mid
dle of November, I had nothing to back me up, not even an assay,
from the property.
. All I had on which to base my calculations was what gold pan
ning I had done myself on the surface croppings of the vein; until
November 25th, when John Aho, one of the miners, came down from
the mine, and brought some samples of ore, which were assayed.
Then a few days before Christmas two of the directors of the
company went up to the mine and brought down more samples of ore.
Now, in my opinion, I was fully satisfied with the samples brought
down by these gentlemen, but all of them were interested parties.
Dozens of people, here in Anchorage, told me that they would
buy some Mohawk stock, if they were sure that the assays were not
picked samples of the ore. So finally I persuaded the company to send
I a disinterested party to sample the mine and they selected Mr. Holmes
to go to Willow creek to sample the vein in the tunnel.
Mr. Holmes took 28 samples across the vein, every five feet apart,
beginning 23 feet in from portal of the tunnel. This part was tim
bered, so on that account ho was unable to sample same.
Has Examined Mines in All Parts of the World.
Mr. C. H. Holmes, C. E. E. M., is a graduate of Frieburg, Ger- ;
many, and also of Harvard and Yale. Was employed as mining en- j
gineer by De Beers & Rhodes Mining company, and also expected :
properties for Buckingham, De Beers & Co., Syndicate, of London, ;
England, one of the largest mining syndicates in the world. During
that time he examined mines in South Africa, India, Russia, Peru, i
Chile.
In the United States he has examined properties in Montana, Ida- '
ho, California, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska.
In Colorado he was one of the first mining engineers to make a
report on Stratton’s Independence mine of Cripple Creek.
The mine was later sold to an English syndicate for $9,000,000.00.
He also reported on the Clark Copper Consolidated mine of Ari
zona. i
Such is the record of the mining engineer who sampled the Mo
hawk tunnel, and says he believes that further explorations would
result in the discoverv of imnnrtant ore bodies
These assays show beyond a question of doubt that we have the
making of one of the largest and richest mines in the Willow creek
gold canjp.
Just think pt it, a continuous ore shoot, already exposed for over
159 feet, and rich ore still in the breast of the tunnel. And a depth
on the ore body of 600 ft>at the breast.
Mr. Holmes says the assays will average 90 per cent gold and
10 per cent silver, and no other metal in paying quantities.
He further says that the geological horizon for several miles in
any direction from the Mohawk mine S composed of granite rocks,
alternating with grandiprite, and quartz diorite, and that the vein
system cuts the formations at right angles, and the veins occur as
fissure veins there are frequent porphyry intrusions through the ore,
and often several inches of talc, and kaolinite selvage on either wall.
The evidence given, therefore, points conclusively to a true fissure
origin of veins.
The slick and well-defined wall of the vein evidence extensive
plane faulting.
The strike of the vein, as determined in the tunnel is N. 22 de
grees W. and the dip is 41 degrees W. The elevation of the mine is
3,185 feet above sea level.
40-Ton Mill to Be Installed by July 1st.
The manager of the Mohawk Mining company has authorized me
to state to the public that the 40-ton Mohawk mill will be installed,
and in operation, by July 1, 1917, or not later than August 1, 1917.
A 40-ton mill should grind out a lot of gold bullion daily. The
first seven assays taken in the tunnel show an average of $44.00 per
ton, for a distance of 35 feet. This part of the vein I know is free
milling, as I panned some of the rock myself, given to me by Mr.
Holmes. In fact some of the richest ore panned over $100 per ton.
With such rich, free-milling gold ore, the possibility of the Mo
hawk, as a bullion producer may astonish the mining world.
Running the mill 24 hours per day, with ore milling $44.00 per
ton would be a gross daily output of $1,760 per day; that would nearly
equal the output of the Martin mill Best Run.
At any rate Bhould the mill run successfully, in this grade of
ore, the Mohawk may produce over $50,000 per month.
I am now placing on the market 100,000 shares of Mohawk stock,
part of which will be offered for sale to the public at 10 cents per
share for a few days only. The price March 1st will be 25 cents a
share.
With all these assays taken by a reputable mining engineer, every
five feet on the ore shoot, proves conclusively that we have something
worth while to sell stock on.
Mohawk stock is cheaper today at 10 cents a share than it was a
month ago. at 0 cents.
Over 67 feet more of ore has been opened up in the tunnel, and
the assays taken are conclusive proof that we have rich ore in the
mine.
Anyona who has a $10.00 bill, may become a stockholder, and get
100 shares. Everybody has this chance now. In a few days the stock
will cost 25 cents.
