With tho ex ception o a few Thanksgiving day games, today marks tho end of tho college football season for 1907. Thanks for tho change In rules and tho elimination of much of tho rough play, thero havo been fewer fatallt Iob from tho gamo this year than over beforo slnco tho sport became popular In this country. Slnco the opening of tho season tho latter part of September nearly a dozen players havo died as the result of Injuries received on tho gridiron, hut this number is small as com pared with tho records in past years. It is noticeable, moreover, that near ly all of tho victims wore members of scholastic or association team3, only two or threo of them belonged to college elevens. No football play er among the larger colleges has been killed, though injuries among tho players havo been common. Tho list of victims to date is as follows: William O'Brien, 18 years old, of Cortlandt, New York, died of hem morrhago of tho brain, following In juries received In a school game. Leonard J. Clarkson, 20 years old, of tho Norwich university team, died from injuries received In tho game with Dartmouth. Thomas Bertram, 20 years old, of Altoona (Pennsylvania,) Athletic club, died from a kick in tho head during a game with the Portage team. Loo Strosmeyer, 1G years old, of Iowa City, Iowa, died from a broken back received in a high school game. Albert Flowers, 16 years old, of Zanesville, Ohio, died from injuries received, in a gamo between Zanes vlllo high school and Donlson uni versity freshmen. Walter C. Albrecht, 20 years old, of Chicago, died from cerebral hem morrhage, following a gamo between two association teams. Arthur Cope, 19 years old, of Salida, Colorado, died from spinal injuries received in a gamo between the high school teams of Salida and Leadville. Richard S. Evans, 19 years old, of Hillsboro, Ohio, died from injuries received in a gamo between Wooster college and Western Reserve univer sity at Cleveland. Robert A. Litz, 1G years old, of Jersey City, died from injuries sus tained in a game at New Dorp, Stat cn Island. MINERAL BKLT IN DOUGLAS AND COOS. Geological Survey Acts on Request Mndo lly Scnntor Uounic. Notice of Election. Notico Is hereby given that a general municipal election of the city of Marshlleld, Coos county, Oregon, will be held at tho council chamber at the City Hall of said city on Tuesday the 3rd day of December, 1907, for tho purpose of electing a mayor for tho term of two years, and two councilmen for tho term of threo years, and a recorder for tho term of one year; that at said election tho following charter amendments re ferred to tho people by tho common council will bo voted on: "To extend tho corporato limits," and "To Increaso the limit of in debtedness." That J. R. Llghtner, John Bear and A. P. Owen havo been appoint ed as judges of tho said election and C. II. Marsh, Clarence Pennock and L. R. Robertson havo been appointed clerks of said election.

Guided by tho advico of an aged woman who claims to bo a seoress, Leon Thomas nnd Tommy Froltor, two small boys, yesterday dug up ?4000 in a vacant lot in tho corner of Green and Powoll streots, whero ouco stood tho Chap polio lodging house After tho boys left tho plucoa largo number of Italians continued to search nil night, discovering considerable molted gold and silver. This morning tho two boys and 24 of tho Italians woro ar rested for violation of a sectioa of tho code, which makes it a misde meanor to dig on tho property of nn othor person. Tho boys will not bo prosecuted. Mrs. Mary Chappollo, beforo tho groat flro, conducted a lodging houso where tho money was discovered. Her fate is unknown, but she has a bou, Dr. Folix Chappollo, now travel ing in Europe. Washington, D. C. In response to a communication of Inquiry ad dressed to the Director of tho United States Geological Survey for informa tion concerning tho mineral character of township 31 south, ranges 9 and 10 west, near Mount Boliver, In Douglas and Coos Counties, Oregon, a reconnaissanco section was made along tho west fork of tho Cow Creek by J. S. Dlller and Professor G. F. Kay, whilo on their way to a de tailed examination of tho coal claims in tho northern part of tho Siskiyou National Forest. Detailed topo graphical maps have not been made and township platB were not availa ble at tho tlmo of tho examination. Tho work is therefore only prelimin ary, but its results aro of general in terest and importance. Tho region contains three geologic formations, tho Arago, the Knox- villo and the Dothan, which occupy the wholo of the two townships under consideration. The Trago formation Is of the Eocene age and made up chiefly of sandstone with some con glomerate and shale in which are oc casional traces of coal. The Knox- vlllo formation is Cretaceous and composed of conglomerate, sandstone and shale with little, If any, metalli ferous deposits in It. The Dothan Is Jurassic and is chiefly sandstone with somo shalo. It is but llttlo mineralized except in certain tracts whero it contains masses of Igneous rocks (greenstones) which have lo cally considerable deposits of ore. The mineralized belt of green stone is Impregnated at many places by pyrlte, chalcopyrito and bornite, and contains numerous veins of quartz and calcito. It is best devel Mount Boliver, and extends from Rogue river northeast along John Mule Creek and Cold Fork Into town ship 31, ranges 9 and 10, where it crosses the West Fork of Cow Creek and finally disappears beneath the cover of Eocene. In the vicinity of Saddle Mountain and Mount Boliver this belt has many prospects. The most Important one of them, locally known as the Thomp son mlne.has been exploited by sev eral tunnels and Inclines, which yield ed approximately 50 tons of copper ore, chiefly chalcoprlte and bornite. The works were closed at tho time of examination, but the occurrence of so much ore on the dumps apparent ly shows the existence of ore bodies of considerable size. This belt crosses the West Fork of Cow Creek in section 3G, township 31, range 10, and in, sections 2S, 29, 30, 31 and 32, In township 31 and range 9, whero it contains tho pros pect known as the Eagle Mine in sec tion 30. Northeast of the West Fork of Cow Creek no mines of prospects havo been reported and the extent of the mineralized belt before pass ing beneath the covering of Eocene has been determined only in gener al outline. It is probable, however, that It does not extend as far north east as sections 9 and 10, for the di vides of that region aro chiefly If not wholly Eocene. Tho mineralized bolt in township 31, rango 10, includes a largo part of sections 36 and 25 and in town ship 31, range 9, sections 19, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32, and probably also sections 15, 16 and 17 and ad Joining portions of other sections. Within tho mineralized belt tho min eralization may locally havo been great enough not only to impregnate tho county rock but also to form con siderable ore bodies. Wheio such ex ist tho land is clearly mineral land, ' but Uio term does not necesarlly ap ply to all land in tho mneralized belt. It cannot bo determined in mass by geneial survey but for each tract by detailed examination. Placer Alines. In township 31 rango 10, there aro a number of placer mines on tho stream bench, 150 to 200 feet above tho level of tho West Fork. As yet tho amount of hydraulic work done at each placo covers a small area, but tho gravel mass in places is generally lnrgo. Tho amount of gold In theso gravels was not determined but it is reported from theso placers, and their proximity to tho mineral belt noted above is a matter of interest. Tho Eocono In township 31 south, ranges 9 an dlO west, is not known to contain any coal or other mlnoral of economic valuo and tho areas it occupies aro nonmineral. The samo Is true of tho Kuowillo and as far as known of tho Dothan. Excoptlng tho mineralized belt and tho aurifer ous gravols already considered, theso threo formations occupy tho wholo of tho two townships and there Is good reason to regard their areas as non mlnoral lnud. Portions of tho mlnornllzed bolt which contain workablo deposits of ores and areas of auriferous gravols rich enough for mlntug should cer tainly bo considered mineral land, but outside of theso areas In tho two SAMJPLE BALLOT FOR CITY OF MARSHFIELD ELECTION, Tuesday, December 3rd, 1907 MARK AN "X" BETWEEN THE NUMBER AND THE NAME VOTED FOR.
