Will FIGHT n NEVADA.

Almost Certain That Corbett ana
Ftt1 Will Fight Mt Carson.
San francisco. Jan. CIT is almost
q foregone conclusion that the Corbett-
Fitzsfmmons fight will take place in
Nevada, and it ts about equally GER
tain that the ring will be pitched in
Carson. Everything points to the veri-
tcation Of this dual prophecy.
No opposition to the, measure was
maintained in the upper house and the
vast array Of Nevadans who are favor
able to the measure voice the opinion
that it will go through without a strug-
gle. The chief executive of the state
has firmly declined to express an
opinion as to how the matter striges
him.
The Carson people are working like
beavers with a view to securing the
fight, and while Reno and Virginia
City have claims to put forward. it is
admitted on every side that Carson
stands the best chance Of capturing the
contest.
