Declared a Draw Between Him and
Jim JeffrieS.
RYAN AND STIFF FIGHT
POLICE INTERFERE AFTER THE
SIXTH ROUND.
Twenty Rounds Were Fought in the
Choynski-Jeffrie Mill-Choynski
Wins the Admiration of His
Friends-Stift Badly Punished at
Chicago.

San Francisco, Nov. S0.-Joe Choyns-
XII of San Francisco and Jim Jeffries of
Los Angeles fought 20 rounds to a draw
tonight before the National club.
Choynsld conceded so pounds in weight,
and on this account was compelled to
depend on his superior ring generalship
and long experience at the game to
avoid the rushes of his giant opponent
Jeffries, who displayed much improve
ment in the art of defense and attack,
still lacks in experience. He failed to
follow up Choynski when opportunity
offered. On the other hand, Choynski
fought with excellent judgment. Even
his Oldest admirers were surprised at
his generalship. He avoided clinching
except when absolutely necessary, and
his duckng was marvellous. He de-
pended almost entirely on left jabs on
the nose and mouth to stop the big fell
low, and after the eleventh round, kept
blood flowing from Jeffries' nose.
In the second round Jeffries brought
Choynski down with a left swing on
the neck, which left Joe fiat on his
back. The blow was ineffective, how
ever, and Joe arose as strong as before.
Referee Jim McDonald's decision was
satisfactory to the crowd of 5000 peo-
pie.
Marty McCue of New York and
Young Jack Dempsey of San Francisco
fought Is rounds to draw. The bout
was preliminary to the Jeffries-Choyn
XII fight.
McCue outclassed Dempsey in clever
ness, but lacked punching power and
could not finish his man, though he
punished him badly. The decision of
Referee Elmer was Kissed.

is the Morning Star mine, owned by
Kurtz & Chatterton, of Rawlins. This
property has more extensive workings
than any other in the Grand Encamp-
ment district. A tunnel has been run
1,200 feet into the mountain to cross
cut the vein. The ore has just been
tapped at a perpendicular depth of $50
feet. The ore has been penetrated three
feet at this writing, and expert min
ing men pronounce it very rich in gold
and copper. The owners of this prop
erty are making arrangements to erect
concentrating works at an early date.
In driving the tunnel several veins of
copper ore of a low grade were gone
through, and they have several hun
dred tons of this ore on the dump.
MOLLY HILL VEIN.
Several other outfits are developing
properties in the district on a more or
less extensive scale. Among these is
the Molly Hill Mining & Milling COM
pany, of Rawlins, the board of direct
ors of which include General Manager
Dickinson, of the Union Pacific. The
company owns several promising pros
poets, but the development work is be-
ing done on the Ada claim. A tunnel
is being run which will tap the vein
at a depth of 300 feet. If this vein
should prove to be pay ore when cut,
duced at once, as the lead is apparently
fully 40 feet wide. The ore is a quartz
porphyry, permeated with iron oxide
assaying low value in gold.
The Annie Templeton claim, owned
by the Murphy & Ready company, of
RaWlins, is one of the most promising
prospects in the district. 1t has vein
Of gold bearing ore % feet in width,
an average sample of which assayed
$4754 in gold per ton. Hundreds of
other claims have been located in the
new district, which gives promise of
developing into valuable mines. The
ones mentioned are those upon which
substantial work has already been be-
gun. There are over a hundred pros
poets in the district upon which the
owners expect to begin development
work at the earliest practicable date,
consequently it is confidently expected
that number of shippers will be de-
veloped before spring opens.
The mountains surrounding the
Grand Encampment district are COW
cred with spruce and pine, furnishing
an abundance of timber for mining OPP
erations. Indeed so far as natural ad-
vantages are concerned the new dis
trict is most admirably situated
Whether or not depth will enhance the
mineral wealth indicated upon the sur
face, development alone will tell. But
it is the judgment of mining experts
of recognized conservatism that this
new district offers a splendid oppor-
tunity for the investment of capital
with a reasonable assurance of rich re-
turns

right eye was closed, the right side Of
his face was puffed up and he was
badly punished, Ryan having rained
blows upon his face, on his jaw and
over the heart. Throughout the round
Stiff was wild, but he managed to get
a hard left swing on Ryan's jaw.
In the sixth round Ryan landed q
left on Stift's bad eye and put a right
on the jaw following it up with a, left.
Stiff lost his head and, although the
agreement was that the men were to
break clean, ne chung to Ryan and
fouled him repeatedly with short arm
blows while the men were cinched.
Ryan landed a hard right and left on
the jaw, and Stiff put a hard right on
the body, the best blow he struck in
the fight. Ryan put his left on the
jaw and swinging around caught Stiff
with his right on the jaw and sent him
to the floor, where he was for nine sec
onds.
Ryan then put his right on the jaw
twice in succession, his left on the eye
and was following Stiff hard with right
and left swings, every one of them get
ting home in good shape, when the
gong sounded.
Stiff was badly beaten and the police
stopped the fight, it being evident that
Stiff would not last over one or two
rounds more.
The fight was for purse of $500, the
loser to have $500.
The first bout of the evening was be-
tween Mike Roach and Harry Forbes,
beth local 105-pounders. The decision
was given to Forbes.
Peter Boyle of Chicago and William
Moore of Syracuse, N. Y, went six
fast rounds, both men doing clever
work.
Boyle knocked Moore to the floor
with a left in the face in the second
round. Honors were easy up to the
sixth, when Boyle got in . succession
of left jabs that demoralized the west
ern man. The decision was given to

RYAN GOT DECISION.
Six Rounds Fought with Stiff when
Police Interfered.

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-Tommy Ryan of
Syracuse was given the decision tonight
over Billy Stiff of Chicago, in the sixth
round of what was to have been Il
round bout Ryan had all the best of
the fight from the start, forced the
fighting all the way through, and had
Stiff in bad condition when the police
interfered.
If the fight had gone on as it went
for six rounds Stiff would have been
out at the end of the eighth round at
the farthest.
Ryan weighed 146 pounds and Stiff
weighed 1877 pounds. George Siler was
referee.
Both men spared cautiously in the
opening round, which closed with Ryan
shooting a heavy left on Stifts jaw
and landing a light one on his body.
In the second and following rounds
Stiff kept on the defensive in his cor
ner, and Ryan was hot after him.
The third round was Ryan's all the
way through, and at the close tof the
fourth Ryan dazed Stiff by putting his
left hard on the right eye. In the fifth
round it simply rained boxing gloves
for Stiff, Ryan hitting him hard and
often. When the round closed Stiff

The sword of Mars and the gentler
but none the less effective weapons of
Venus were joined in sportive mood
merriment and festivity last night,
when beauty and chivalry gathered to
chase the laughing hours with flying
feet. There were those who in DAYS
gone by have, undaunted, seen grim
visaged war ere he smoothed his wrink-
led front, and there were those Who
when duty calls, will meet the same
grim monster WITH equally unf1inching
steps and with hearts as stout as those
in the days of ycre.
But there was no noise of battle, no
lannon's opening roar; only sounds of
music and the dance, intermingled with
the silvery laughter of fair women and
the softened, responsive tones of mar
tial men.
The scene at the military ball was
brilliant in the extreme The ladies, re-
splendent in the richness and variety
of costumes, and the officers in full
dress uniforms, with their profusion of
gold lace mazing and threading
through the dance under the vari-col-
ored lights and surrounded by many
hued flowers, evergreenS and the stars
and stripes, produced an effect seldom
surpassed in beauty.
The ball was given at Christensen s
hall by the officers of the National
Guard and was patronized by the Off
GERS of the Twenty-fourth U. S. infan-
try from Fort Douglas. In addition to
the other decorations, there were stacks
of muskets and small arms and q, Cat
ling gun in one end of the ball room
The First regiment band and Christen-
sens orchestra furnished the music,
which was exceedingly fine, and be-
played.

UNCLE SANS CHARITY.
Presidents Cabinet Touched by the
K1ondike Famine

K1ondil1e Famine.
washington, Nov. SO.-The cabinet
today considered the subject of send
ing relief to the people in the Klon-
dixie.
The information was not definite as
to the actual conditions, but was on
the same lines as has been telegraphed
from the northwest. The cabinet con-
sidered every phase of the situation.
It was decided that nothing would be
done until congress meets, when an ap-
nrouriation will be asked for the pur-
pose OF transporting food supplies. Al
though many plans have been discuss
ed, none has been decided upon. 1t IS
probable, however, that whatever ac-
lion is taken Will be under the direc-
ton of the war department and by
the time congress acts, Secretary AL
eel. will have formulated plans. No
attempt viii be made to go up the
Yukon, as the ice has closed progress
in that direction. The relief supplies
viii have to be sent over the passes.
Just how they shall be transported
is a question requiring earnest con-
siderstion and one that viii require the
study OF many plans in order that an
entirely feasible one may be evolved.
Secretary Alger Will gather all posi-
BILE informatien and VIII communicate
With the persons who know the route
10 the Klondike and are familiar with
the transportation methods in the Arc
tic and other frozen regions. Rein
deer and dogs possibly may be used
ind there is also d suggestion that the
lteam snow shovel so successfully
used in the deep snow in the logging
camps may be used. Secretary Alger
has confidence N it as a means of
transportation.
The task of getting supplies to the
Kiondike in mid-Winter is not under
estimated and doubts are entertained
as TO its being a possibility. Dyea can
be reached by steamer. Thence the
tourney is one OF 200 miles over noun
tains, through deep drifts OF soft, loose
snow. The sun shines only about five
hours in - ard the thermometer often
goes down 10 30 and go degrees below
zero.
An expedition cannot reach Klondike
before February at least, and the hope
of the president is that there is a suffi-
Gent supply of food to last until they
90. II is estimated that there are so 600
people in the gold country
A report recently issued states that
100000 head of horses and cattle went
to the Klondike from Dyea a short time
ago. but the commissioner at Dyea
wires the government that such is not
the fact.

CONSUMPTION.


New York, Nov. 30.-Dr. Biggs of the
board of health made some startling
statements before the board of esti-
mates while that body was today con-
sidering the city budget for 1898. The
board of estimates was asked to ap-
prove a grant of $4,000 for the cure of
tuberculosis in a special hospital. DR..
Biggs, speaking for the board of health
in support of the appropriation. de-
clared that one out of every seven per-
sons who die in this city are victims
of tubercular consumption. DR.. Biggs
further states that among the working
classes the percentage of deaths due
to this disease was one-quarter. The
board of health was unable to deal def
nitely with the matter today, but at its
regular meeting will pass a resolution
recommending the appropriation of the
money asked to stay the ravages of
consumption.
