THE DlXON-HAWKlNS FIGHT.

There are to be four days of ring con-
tests this week. The bouts cbeduled for
next Friday between George Dixon and
Dai Hawkins at san Francisco is the one
in which the interest is principally CEN
tered.
1t will be tough contest for the colored
wonder and it would not be n surprise 10
many ii il proved to be the downfall of
that great little fighter which the sports
have leen expecting.
Hawkins surely will have an advantage
in weight Of about eight or ten pounds.
II he were a poor boxer IL would be all
right. but Hawkins has shown himself 10
be clever boxer Dixons closest ad
mirers III this city are confident that the
worst he can get will be draw.
Dixon will stay on the Pacific coast till
winter IL he is defeated by Hawkins as
he will be called upon to defend his title
by the Australian, Jack McGowan, who
recently arrived at San Francisco. IL the
match is arranged IL will bc held at Car
son next fall as Dan Stuart has promised
them q big purse.

POPULARITY OF PACING.

At tho Mystic Park meeting OF last
week there were 81 trotters entered and 75
PAGERS. The fastest time made by any
trotter was 2.13l<, by Jacobsonian; tho
fastest by pacor. 2. ~, by Woodshed.
The fastest trotting mile Of the year Is
2.09<, by Elloree, In Detroit; the fastest
pacing Is 2.0424. by Star Pointer, in Hart
fore, July 8.
II was not until 1877 that the PAGER was
allowed admission 20 the seclusive
society ofthe grand circuit That year
the Cleveland Driving Club gave purse
of $1,000 open to all PAGERS, and 5000 for
the free -for-all trotters. There were eight
starters in the pacing race, and Sweetzer
won the first heat I'm 2. IS only four seconds
slower than the trottinR record OF that
day, ala. made by Goldsmith Maid, three
years before.
From that day to this owing to their
superior speed. the pacer has been grow
ing steadily In popularity. In 1895, 1896
and thus far In 1897, the time OF the trot-
tcrs compares very poorly with that OF
the PAGERS and no association during this
time has had its grand stand OVERLOOKING
unless the PAGERS performed. Ten years
ago, it Is estimated that there were at
least 10 trotters on the turf to one PAGER,
and seven years ago there were six rrot-
ters TO one PAGER. Since then tho pro-
portion Of PAGERS to trotters has marvel
ously increased and during the first five
days of the grand circuit meeting, now
being held in Detroit, IS PAGERS have
started In races against 10 trotters, and
this, too in face OF the fact that one Of
the trotting purses was $40 600 and the
lagest pacing purse xl0OO.

RECORD OUTPUT OF GOLD.

The Little Johnny nino in 1898 and
1894, made worlds record in its output
of gold. IL was then rated as the biggest
mine of tae country. Its shaft went
down 2000 feet, and out of IL poured ore
which the miners said ran 5000 TO the
ton. Owners OF the Ibex property have
never made public the earnings OF the
Littlo Johnny. but they send $l57, 600 every
month to the mint, dividing $50. 600 Of it
as profit and Keeping $50. 900 as a reserve
fund. The mine Is valued at S50, O00, 600.
Among the owners OF the property are
John +. Campion and Clinton Reed. Inc
complainant shareholders of the Uncle
Sam mine charge that Campion ana
Heed have falsified their reports of the
yield of the various Archer Consolidation
mines so rs to show that $50, 000, 000 in
gold actually taken from the Uncle Sam
mine was made 20 appear os the output Of
the little Johnny mine. thus defrauding
them of their share OF the amount.
Ballou and McLay propose, according
10 their complaint 10 show that $40 coo. coo
in gold has been taken from tho Uncle
