A Thritting Sport im the Sierra z Nevada Mountains. _ ia o In the high Sierras, where snow falls’ to such great depths that other means of travel are out of the question, snowshoe riding has been carried to a who gained such celebrity in carrying the mail through— Alpine -and Placer counties, came to Sierra to show ‘them how to ride, he could hardly keep up with the school-boyé. Since his day great improvements have been made, both inthe groove that now runs the length of the shoe on the under side and makes it practical to guide the things, and in the lubricating material called “dope” that makes the rider glide down the ‘mountains with such lightning’ speed.

D. Body. The o!d North Star mine is looming up in great. shape. Yesterday Superintendent E. R. Abadie brought to ‘town a bar of gold containing $17,000, . the result of a two weeks’ run ; quite a nice little New Year’s ‘present for the stockholders of the company. The mine is looking well in its depths. There is nochangé in the shift bosses, runiors to the contrary notwithstand= ing. ‘The old mine lookslike it will on the result: of a contest. . Basket-work stroes-are discarded-en-}" tirely, and for racing the shoe is made the width of the foot and ten.to four“rteenfeet tong; turmed-up a: the ends; with a groove-about one-half inch deep by.one.and one-half inches broad_rnnning along the whole length of the bottom. Experts prefer those made from fir of very straight grain. The thickness at the center where the foot is fastened is nearly one and a fourth inches, tapering to five-eighths at the rear and a little thinner in front. After the snow~has covered’ rocks and underbrush out of sight, settled down to solid business, the boys begin to get out the snow-shoes and practice under instruction. The shoes are polished as smooth as they can be made and then the bottoms are smeared with some preparation to inCrease the speed. This mixture is looked upon as the main thing isthe race, and .ex-Senator Wallace isnow mainly famous for his. wonderful ‘‘dope’’ that won so many races. The base of allthese preparations is spermaceti, but almost everything keptin a drug store has been experimented with. Most of these contain beeswax, rosin, turpentine and some essential oils. It seems that, the-mixture must be adapt_jed to the condition of the snow, and, above’ all things, must be kept secret from rival clubs. A little lard touched upon the bottem ofa rival’s shoed, ora little salt sprinkled on his side of the track, will loose him the race,and. if you want a good fight on your bands in a hurry, get caught trying to find how a rival mixes hia ‘‘dopeé.”’ Yor weeks excited groups‘will be discussing the merits of different mixtures . for ‘cloudy and for. sunny days, for hard’ “. snow. and for soft snow and for different honta of the day. There seems to be no regularly established course. A few days before the race they choose the place where they can get the longest and steepest run free from obstructions and convenient~for spectators. Distance varies from 2,000 to 5,000_feet. ning trains. ‘These men are reportéd by concurrent testimony of many spectutors to have’averaged us high a speed as.250 feet per second over a course nearly a mile Jong. This is more than four times the speed of a race-horse or twice that-of a _locomotive._\Remen-. ber, too, that either of the latter goes over the course at uniform speed,while the snow-shoe rider moves with a constantly accelerating motion, and we may say that hisspeed at the finish approxiiniites twice the ayerage, or} ‘800 feet per second, No wonder that they report that they holdthe breath from start to finish,and cannot remember having seen anything but a sort of bluish white light while running. They use a pole resembling a churn-dasher for helping themselves upbill and as a brake at the finish. It.is not supposed to touch the-snow until the goal E is passed. In Minnesota the Norwegians make “gkir-acing,’’ as they call it, a leading winter sport, and an expert from the old country sometimes makes a sensation, but one never heard of the gropve there nor of the ‘‘dope.”’ Sierra stands ahead. -F. 8.

Since his day great improvements have been made, both inthe groove that now runs the length of the shoe on the under side and makes it practical to guide the things, and in the lubricating material called “dope” that makes the rider glide down the ‘mountains with such lightning’ speed.

D. Body. The o!d North Star mine is looming up in great. shape. Yesterday Superintendent E. R. Abadie brought to ‘town a bar of gold containing $17,000, . the result of a two weeks’ run ; quite a nice little New Year’s ‘present for the stockholders of the company. The mine is looking well in its depths. There is nochangé in the shift bosses, runiors to the contrary notwithstand= ing. ‘The old mine lookslike it will on the result: of a contest. . Basket-work stroes-are discarded-en-}" tirely, and for racing the shoe is made the width of the foot and ten.to four“rteenfeet tong; turmed-up a: the ends; with a groove-about one-half inch deep by.one.and one-half inches broad_rnnning along the whole length of the bottom. Experts prefer those made from fir of very straight grain. The thickness at the center where the foot is fastened is nearly one and a fourth inches, tapering to five-eighths at the rear and a little thinner in front. After the snow~has covered’ rocks and underbrush out of sight, settled down to solid business, the boys begin to get out the snow-shoes and practice under instruction. The shoes are polished as smooth as they can be made and then the bottoms are smeared with some preparation to inCrease the speed. This mixture is looked upon as the main thing isthe race, and .ex-Senator Wallace isnow mainly famous for his. wonderful ‘‘dope’’ that won so many races. The base of allthese preparations is spermaceti, but almost everything keptin a drug store has been experimented with. Most of these contain beeswax, rosin, turpentine and some essential oils. It seems that, the-mixture must be adapt_jed to the condition of the snow, and, above’ all things, must be kept secret from rival clubs. A little lard touched upon the bottem ofa rival’s shoed, ora little salt sprinkled on his side of the track, will loose him the race,and. if you want a good fight on your bands in a hurry, get caught trying to find how a rival mixes hia ‘‘dopeé.”’ Yor weeks excited groups‘will be discussing the merits of different mixtures . for ‘cloudy and for. sunny days, for hard’ “. snow. and for soft snow and for different honta of the day. There seems to be no regularly established course. A few days before the race they choose the place where they can get the longest and steepest run free from obstructions and convenient~for spectators. Distance varies from 2,000 to 5,000_feet. ning trains. ‘These men are reportéd by concurrent testimony of many spectutors to have’averaged us high a speed as.250 feet per second over a course nearly a mile Jong. This is more than four times the speed of a race-horse or twice that-of a _locomotive._\Remen-. ber, too, that either of the latter goes over the course at uniform speed,while the snow-shoe rider moves with a constantly accelerating motion, and we may say that hisspeed at the finish approxiiniites twice the ayerage, or} ‘800 feet per second, No wonder that they report that they holdthe breath from start to finish,and cannot remember having seen anything but a sort of bluish white light while running. They use a pole resembling a churn-dasher for helping themselves upbill and as a brake at the finish. It.is not supposed to touch the-snow until the goal E is passed. In Minnesota the Norwegians make “gkir-acing,’’ as they call it, a leading winter sport, and an expert from the old country sometimes makes a sensation, but one never heard of the gropve there nor of the ‘‘dope.”’ Sierra stands ahead. -F. 8.
