CARSON. New, Feb. 12.-There was a
trainload of strangers dumped into Car
son to-day. They were men looking for
locations to do business, newspaper cor
respondents and sports.
Arrivals of strangers no longer excite
comment, ana when they register at the
hotels they are so thick that they don't
even get notice in the local press. From
all over the United States newspaper men
are hurrying to the scene of action to beat
rivals in all the great cities of the Union,
and yet the fight is more than a month
away and the principals have not reached
the ground. How many men will it take
to put up pavilion that will hold 10000
people? is the question that agitates every
one except the people who have to put it
up The least concerned man OF all is the
imperturbable Dan Stuart, who takes
things easy and never let's any body hurry
him.
1t has been the opalescent dream Of
Stuart life to pull off a championship
battle without being chased all over the
country by tue militia and constabulary
and being sat down on by the various
Governors OF Montana, Missouri and
Texas. He can now snap his fingers at all
selling them tickeUs at the ringside at $40
apiece and upward.
To-day the first indication that the fight
was ivening up business was noticeabls
on Main street, when a four-horse load of
lumber went down the street toward
Shaws Springs for the erection of Cor
belts handball court. As the outfit went
along the street il was halted a dozen
I; Lot ha
at it.
Mr.. Jaynes, superintendent of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, arrived
on the morning train, and began TO hunt
quarters for the location of an office. The
present Office over the Bullion Bank is
small and on the second floor, so he Sc
cured the old Tribune office in the Odd
Fellows building. He will begin at once
stringing extra wires from Reno, probably
putting in eight. They will not re-
quire extra poles, but what are already
up will be strengthened with supports.
They will put in a Wheatstone system
capable of sending $50 words minnie to
Chicago, which will be one of their big
distributing points, and number of quad
ruplex instruments 1t will require
1000 extra cells for the extra battery, and
OH tue ulSut VI InG u2DL al leaSL t0lrtY
extra men will be required to handle
the work.
He has arranged for a mum Der OF extra
men to go on after the 5th of next month.
The wires will also run into the pavilion
and the operators will be under the re-
porters' stand. The desks will communi-
cate with the operators tables by means
of tubes and copy" will be shot through
into the telegraphers' tables the same as
the service is managed in the big National
conventions.
Dan Stuart has located his Headquarters
next the Bullion Bank and will begin to
occupy the place to-day. The pavilion
will be an inclosure thirty feet high COW
cred with canvas with tiers of seats rising
from the ring capable of seating 1000.
After the first fight permanent structure
will be built.
Stuart says the general admission will
not be over So, but of course the reserved
seats and choice locations next the ring
will command fancy prices.
Orders continue to pour in for seats. The
first man to apply for the best reserved
seats in the house and nearest the ring
was Major Hooper OF the Occidental. who
