The company will not handle them as custom work, but will buy the con centrates for company account, first having them tested by one of the most expert chemists in the country, who is shortly expected from the east, and then paying in cash the highest possible price for the values demon strated.

will go to the highest bidder. The La

upon as one of the attractions, will prob

fight, which will be an international affair,
looks like Brady match. Brady is very
anxious to secure this contest, and will Of

San Antonio, Tex. July 23-(Special)
All are familiar with the old saying of
the winds being tempered to the shorn
lambs. A parallel case has happened to
the soldier boys during the past two days.
Up to yesterday morning the heat was al
most unbearabe, but sometime during
Wednesday night n summer norther came
around. and yesterday and today de-
lightful breeze has kept the drill grounds
in comparatively cool and pleasant
condition. The cooling effect of the
breeZes seem destined to stay the encamp-
ment out and it has really proven
pleasure to visit the grounds yesterday
and today.
The drill management, by dint of al
most hersulean efforts, have succeeded
in laying the dust on the division review
grounds, and from present indications it
Is safe to predict that visit to camp to-
morrow will be very pleasant.
While Wednesday (San Antonio day.

mense local attendance, yesterday and to-
day were represented by u good atten-
dance, and the drill management are
looking for an immense crowd from every
section tomorrow, and have arranged
an AL program for their entertainment,
including the big sham battle at q
o'clock tomorrow evening to be partici-
pated in by all the volunteers and reg

of the inspection of the Lipscomb Rifles
