DRILLED IN HARD KOCK 45 INCHES Made a Close Call on Break ing the World's Two Men Record. The most remarkable featuro of Monday's colouration was tho all hut world boating double drilling re cord made by Joe Johns aud Dau Dunn, tho 10. aud E. team, with Tom iiessler as coach, aud Charles liutler iih water man. The first unofficial aniioiiiiCDiiioiit of tho judgoH was tiiat tho team drilled l(!Aj, inches iu tho hard granite, hut owing to tho fact that tho hole was sont through the look, it was necessary to turn over tho buoldor to deotrmiuo more niHMiratoly. This reduced tho record to lf inches Hal. It is altogothur prnhnhlo had (ho ruck boon stilllci out ly largo, rendering it uunocoHsMiry In stiii t a second hole, the world's record would have boon lionton. It is olaimod that Dishoo, Arizona, holds tho highest score, 10 I J - 8 , for this class of hard rock di tiling. It was iiiado iu (iuitiiisun grmiiln last Fourth of July. The record made yesterday, however, stirpaHos any ever made previously iu Humptor or in tho Xnithwost, and it was unfortunate thai the ruck was not ot sufllciont hio. Johns and Dunn are tho old prize winners of tho district, and their itoach, Tom Horsier nlso falls easily into this class. It was he who sharpened the .stool (or this contest, and a minor knows lunv much de pends un this, not tn mention his borvicos to tho loam as coach. .Joe JoIi'h was mi the winuinu team last your, when when he ami Koy Walters took llit money with a record of 118. This feature of the celebration atttactod perhaps more attention than any other, and it was undoubtedly the lluost drilling match ever seen iu Sutupter. The other teams wore Zeb Hay aud Hoy Watters. from the High land, both ot wl.om aro former riz. takers, and men of exceptional skill. Their record was 4'2a.j. Arch Claddy and W. McAlpiue, also of the High land, made 114 7R. The judges were Jack llazlowood, Harry Heudryx, and Clark Suyde. Official time kepeer Hob Henry. Chester Pray made tho announcements. Tho prizes were, tlrst :U0, secoud f0. The single drilling coutest was pulled off on Granite and Mill streets. M. D McLeod, of the Overland, walked away with the purse, $75. He drilled 21 inches in the allotted fifteen minutes. The records of the other four contestants were as fol fel fol eows: Joe Johns, E. and E., 20; J. N. Gambs. North Pole, 2 OK, W. MoAJpine, Highland, 16; Roy Watters, Highland, H. Joe Johns had second money, a parte of 125. Watters, however, started hii drill slantingly and drilled into another hole when he had worked Ceb minutes and forty seconds. At the rate he was going he would probably hate run "Johns olose for second -plaoe. The judges and time keeper were the same as in the double contest Monday. GEO. E.
