Not Much Chance That 1t viii Work
Its Way Through the Nevada

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-When the
news came over the wires that A
Smith, of New York had $4,000 to bet
on Corbett at ODDS of to 10, the sports
at this end prophesied that more money
would change hands over the match in
Nevada then over the Corbett-Sullivan
fight. A. B. Daniels, who is said to
act as agent of Phil Dwyer, says that
he had some COrbett money to invest
AS a feeler he was willing to bet 81, 900
against $500, that Corbett would win,
or if any Of FitZsimmons' friends cared
for the fancy wager, he would lay $10,-
coo against $4,000 that the match would
go in COrbetts favor. None Of the
offers found takers. Harry Corbett,
brother of Jim, offered to bet $500
against $1,000 that Jim would win in
eight rounds or less. Judging from this,
there will be some big betting in San
Francisco when the men have both
settled down to training. The opinion
is expressed on all sides that there
will be less odds on the forthcoming
fight than on any other big match that
has taken place in years

AN ALADDlN'S CAVE.
Rich Gold Strike in the Rainy Lake
Region.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-There is hole
in the ground in the Canadian Rainy
river district, just north of Minnesota,
and northwest of Lake Superior, out
or which a big American and English
syndicate profess to expect to gather
several millions of dollars worth of
gold within the present year. 1t was
located by Harry Folger, private sec
retary to eX-GoV. Roswell p. Flower,
IN company with James Hammond,
well known in the Northwest as a pros
pector. The site is only forty miles
from railroad, and it is adjacent to
the most abundant supplies Of water.
MI. foiger is native of Kingston,
Ont, where members Of his family are
IN the banking business. He studied
law here, and is we'll known in the
street" While on a hunting trip late
IN 1895 with Mr.. Hammond, he was
guided to the mine region by an In
dlan, who sold his title to the property
10 the hunters, and they made a speedy
return to civilization. When they got
to Fort William, they telegraphed the
news Of their find to Folger Bros, and
then set about the legal proceedings
necessary to protect their claim. APP
pllcation to the government for pos
session was made, and engineers We're
dispatched to Saw Bill lake to make
surveys.
In later examination of the claim.
Hammond struck a dixie SO rich in ore,
1t is claimed that he doubted even mis-
own experienced eye. The men were
set to work and the dixie was found TO
extend mile and half, and to be
most wonderfully prolific. The ore out
cropped continuously, throughout the
entire length of the dixie, which was
proved to have an average width of
about 125 feet. They found, it is as
serted. that the ore 'panned" gold
everywhere, and in some places it as
sayed as high as 5000 a ton. They
found also the dixie would yield an un-
limited quantity Of what is known as
free milling ore. Subsequently Mr..
Folger and Mr.. Hammond found there
was contiguous to the property water
fall Of fifty feet in height, which
would afford power for the mills. Mr..
FOlger secured the water rights from
the Canadian government.
EX-Gov. Flower, who is associated
with the Folgers in the Kingston and
Pembroke railroad, at once became in
terested in the enterprise. A strong
syndicate represented in Wall street,
London and Canada, has been formed
to operate the mines and an operating
plant is now being erected at a cost

lars
The enterprise has been known to
only few friends of those interested,
but it reached London by the usual
mysterious way, and two English syn
dictates have made offers for the NINE
which is known as the Fo1ger-Ham-
mond property. The last offer, which
1t is asserted ran into seven figures,
was refused, the syndicate declaring
that they intended to operate the claim

Legislature.

CARSON, New, Feb. 4.-The dispatch
from San Francisco announcing that
United States Judge McKenna and
others had declared that the federal
government had no right to Interfere
and prevent the Corbett- FHtzsimnons
tight in Nevada, has caused great re-
Joicing here. Nothing now stands be-
tween Carson and the great pugilistic
event that will bring thousands of
visitors, and thousands of dollars to
the city.
Virginia City is putting in a strong
bid for the fight Offering $4,000 cash.
The Enterprise prints a list of hotels
and lodging houses on the Comstock,
and the number Of people they can
hold, giving an estimate of $4,000 in
all The fighters themselves, however,
are to be Considered, and neither will
consent to fight at such a great eleva-
ton. 1t is rsearly 1000 feet above the
sea level, and the pugilists would be

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
Of an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering for
Twenty-Five Years.

Of an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Twenty-Five Years.
Mrs Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was. for twenty-five years a suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia, and her COM
plete restoration to health is so re-
nIarkable that we present the facts in
the case for the benefit of our readers,
many of whom have doubtless suffered
in the same manner and will, there
fore, be interested in learning how all
stomach troubles may be avoided and
cured. Mrs. Skeels says: I used only
one package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and I received such great and
unexpected benefit that I wish to ex-
press my sincere gratitude. In fact
it has been six months since / took
the medicine and 1 have not had one
particle Of distress or difficulty since
And all this in the face of the fact
that the best doctors I consulted told
me my case was incurable as 1 had
suffered for twenty years. I want
half a dozen packages to distribute
among my friends here who are very
anxious to try this remedy.
Truly yours,
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing
indigestion and stomach trouble and
the reason why it never disappoints
those who need it and use it is be-
ca use nothing is claimed for it except
what it will actually perform 1t is
not a cureaall and no such claims are
made for it. It Is prepared for the
sole purpose of curing Dyspepsia and
the various forms of indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure Dys-
pepsia as well as a hundred other
troubles. When as a matter of fact
a remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be
prepared especially for that and moth
ing else; and among all the remedies.
patent nOstrums, bitters, etc, so ex-
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as a cure for Dyspepsia
and nothing else. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart Co. of Marshal,
Mich, and for sale by all druggists
at so cents per package, and if you
suffer from any form of stomach de-
raLgement or indigestion a trial will
not disappoint you

JOINT TRAFFIC TROUBLE.
The RumOrs of Impending Disrup-
ton Are Denied

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The traffic officials of
the roads running east from Chicago deny
that the Joint Traffic association is in any
danger of disruption. They admit that the
association is in a bad way, and that
reorganization with a curtailment Of the pow
ers Of the board of managers may be neces-
sary if the association is to continue but they
think that this can be easily done and that
then the association can last indefinitely. The
blame for the entire situation is placed on
the board Of managers, which, the traffic
men say, has refused under any and all con-
ditions to permit of a reduction in rates.
The only case in which 1t has sanctioned
lower tariffs was when it authorized the
lucent rate on corn from Chicago to New
York some tome ago. The traffic officials
almost to a man declared that what was need
ed was Decent rate, and that a. lucent
rate would only result in the loss of revenue
without increasing the volume Of traffic The
outcome has been as the traffic officials pre
dicted, and nearly all of the grain that is
being carried from Chicago to New York Ia
now being transported on a basis of 10 cents
The roads say that they have been IiteraIIv
driven to make the 10-cent rate by the ne
cessity Of protecting their own interests. and
that they had no choice but to make them.
The outcome of the entire matter gn the
opinion of the Chicago officials is likely to
be the shortening OF the powers of the board
Of managers to such degree that the roads

General Freight Agent Moore Sc
lects ROssIand AS u Point for
Establishing an Agency.

.Ansel Oppenheim, of the Chicago
Great Western, has returned from
London, England, where he went to
attend the annual meeting of the stock
holders of that road. Mr.. Oppenheim
did not remain as long abroad as he
had expected owing to the failure of
the Bank of Minnesota, Of which he is
a director, and in which some of the
company's funds were placed The
news Of the collapse of the bank reach
ed Mr.. Oppenheim soon after he land
ed in England. Speaking Of his trip,
Mr.. Oppenheim said yesterday to a
reporter for the G. o e:
II found the weather in London cold
and fOggy. The moisture seemed very
pleasant after the dry and cold wealth
er of Minnesota. AS to the feeling in
England concerning American invest
ments, it was noticeable that the sense
Of security is far better than it has
been for some time. The people of
that country look upon the result of
the recent election as being indicative
of the public opinion of the better ele-
ment Of the United States and would
not be surprised to see very large in
vestments in American securities dur
ing the coming year.
AS to the Great Western road, I
can say that we had a successful an
nual meeting and the stockholders are
satisfied with the condition Of affairs
confidently believe that the American
roads will show a marked Improvement
during the next six months"
Asked concerning the report that he
had arranged for funds with which
the Great Western would conduct some
important improvements, Mr. Open
helm said nothing of that sort had been
arranged as yet. He would probably
go to Europe again this summer for
that purpose.
