The iron industry had not yet recovered
from the coal miners strike when 1t was

The demands for boots and shoes are

Of hesitation lies the fact that with

BosToS. July T.--Iovers of the ccura-

flying battle in this city In years as that
of last night between Dick O'Brien and
Joe Walcott
1t was q corking battle from the first
call Of time until, frustrated mt every
point. outpointed. disfgured, nonplussed
and thoroughly beaten man, O'Brien
fell on his face and succum bed. He didn't
quit and he wasn't knocked out i'm. the
ordinary sense of the word. He was
punched out Hammered 90 hard that
he dropped from sheer exhaustion and
lost consciousness.
Walcott proved the wonder that his
friends have always claimed him to be.
but which has been denied by many on
the score OF his gameness. Despite the
many blows of his adversary, he fought
on with all the desperation of the gamest
OF white men. He had q terrific battle
from the start. and unless the possessor
of stout heart would surely succumb
to the blows which O'Brien landed time
and again on his face and jaw.
O'Brien took a terrible punching. his
Jaw, eyes and body showing the awfully
telling blows from the negro. walcott
did not bear mark, but doubtless his
body will be sore for many a day, for
O'Brien's right hand was sent there innu-
merable times.
1t was peculiar fight First one would
have an advantage, and then the tide
would change and his opponent. who a
minute before seemed to be rapidly grow
ing groggy, would suddenly make dying
effort, and his friends would cheer. for IL
looked then as though he would end the
fight.
The lads were in grand condition. and
no fault could be found with either man.
for they plainly showed that they had
trained most faithfully. The darky
looked like the diminutivs giant In pic

O'Brien, standing foot over him, surely
looked as though he would be an easy

GOOD OUT OF EVIL.

The only opinion that could be formed
by any Pacific coast citizen who visited
Washington six months ago, while the
Sherman repeal bill was pending in
congress, was that the aim of the bank
ers and brokers of the Atlantic cities was
to drive silver out OF the market alto
gether and bring about species of gold
gambling akin to that which prevailed
during the great civil war and for the
thirteen years which followed the sur
render OF Lee. That such was the in
tention of the k-jobbers who fostered
that pernicious measure, cannot for one
moment be doubted.
But in their greed and anxiety to
measure the coin Of a great ana pro-
ductive nation by the sordid standard
of the Wall street bushel, the stock
jobbers and gold-gamblera of Wall street
had not reckoned accurately. All their
calculations were based upon the pres
ent and past supply of the yellow metal ;
and they bad made no allowance for the
latent wealth of the undeveloped states
nor for the marvellous energy of the
average prospector. The depreciation of
silver properties in Utah. Montana and
Colorado caused shutting down OF
many important silver producing works
in those states, but it threw into the
ranks OF the dust Drowned prospectors
many q man who had hitherto con-
tented himself with working in a quartz
mill at moderately good wages, for the
sake of regular employment and q
domestic life.
The discoveries achieved within the
past ak months, in the matter of auri.
ferrous veins, almost surpass belief
and this is particularly true OF the grand
and beautiful state of Colorado, which
entered the union while her elder eisters
were celebrating the centennial at Phil
adelphia. OF course the largest and
most valuable discoveries have been
made at Cripple Greek, camp that il
less than three years old. But they are
not confined to Cripple Greek alone

The Denver mint reports throw a gooC
deal of light on this matter and show an
increase of gold receipts not squaled 10

should make the total months pur-
chases somewhere near 100000. As the

will have to look to her golden laurels.
California. it should be remem bered, had
yielded over $500, ,00O, 900 in gold before
any of the precious metal was found in
Colorado at all and while the statistics Of
the Denver mint, above quoted, are very
interesting reading in these hard times.
yet Colorado has to increase her output
of gold great deal more yet before she
can hope to equal the yield OF this state.
Still there is great community Of in
terest between the two states. Colorado
purchases great deal OF fruit and other
articles Of food from this state, and we
hope long to be able to chronicle her as
a liberal customer and q good neighbor.

would be of value to the service in max

THAT was a rare old chunk OF New
England granite that died in Groton,
Conn, the other day in the person of
Capt. Braddock Chester, whaling cap
tain born in 1909 at Noank, which is a
suburb of New London. He went to
ses at IA years OF age, and it was just
20 years since he first shifted blue
water. He was good man aboard of a
ship and had made 27 voyages into the
Arctic regions during hia lifetime, of
which "a were in the North Pacific.
Captain Chester's vessel lay in Homo
lulu when the first Kamehamehs over
threw the Oahu insurgents and drove
them over the high cliff called the Pau,
about 10 miles out of the city. His first
command was a brig hailing out OF
Mystic when he was 10 years old. That
is a rare old race oi sturdy men and
women just now dying off to the east
ward of the Housatonic river. They
have crossed the continent on a bee
line from Cape Cod to Puget sound in
the past hundred years, and. with the
thrift and ingenuity which is born OF
hardship and poverty, they leave marks
of a New England civilization every
where along that line, which csnnot be
obliterated.
